As the proposer of the idea, Annick immediately explained: "Mr. Kyle, your assumptions for their steel plant are too high. Just start with one or two small blast furnaces and produce 100 tons of pig iron per day. First satisfy the excess output of your own coal mine,

In further consideration of building a larger scale, the selection of mineral processing and coke can be carried out by rich labor force, and steam engines do not necessarily need to drive the machines."

Kyle nodded, and then said: "That is much simpler. The difficulty is that it is larger than the previous domestic steelmaking in terms of scale. All that needs to be ordered is the integrated blast furnace, ball mill, classifier and subsequent steel rolling.

There is no need to purchase cast iron machines.”

"A blast furnace? That big thing that looks like a metal can?"

Faced with Jacob's question, Annick replied: "That's it. Iron ore powder and coke are refined into molten iron in it. You may need to order it here. Dunland does not have the ability to make such a big thing.

.”

"Okay, no matter how much it costs, it will be painful for Mr. Martin. We are here to pick up people first this time."

Jacob's reply seemed a bit heartless. Kyle saw that they had finished speaking and added another sentence.

"Consultant Annick, are you little black men the police responsible for handling some special cases? Can you help disperse those poor people who are possessed by demons?"

"Little black man, we call them special police." Annick held back his complaints. Last year, he also called the special department police by this nickname. Now correcting others' nickname seems to be a bit of a double standard.

"Ahem, are you sure someone is possessed by an evil spirit? If this is true, it does fall under our management."

"Yes, one of our workers has this kind of madness. He walks in a twisted way, foams at the mouth, talks nonsense, and finally bends into a shrimp and dies in pain. At first, there was only one, but now at least four or five people have suffered.

It’s heavy.”

After listening to Kyle's words, Annick's first reaction was not that evil spirits had entered his body, but that these people were mentally damaged. After thinking about it, he realized that one of the founders of the Labor Party was a doctor, and then he asked

.

"Which of you doctors, the kind-looking Dr. Barnes, isn't here?"

"He should be at home today, what happened?"

"Mr. Jacobs, please come with us once. If you encounter ghosts or evil spirits entering your body, you are better at dealing with them than me. By the way, pick up Dr. Barnes. I feel that you are not encountering evil spirits, but ghosts."

It’s disease.”

"Me? Actually, I haven't dealt with any strange monsters."

Before Jacob could explain, Annick directly picked him up and stuffed him into the carriage.

"It's not enough for you to see the bright side of Eggersberg, go see the darkness."

Annick's explanation made Jacob a little confused, but he didn't dare to say no. The weak-looking guy in front of him had very strong hands and his bones were as hard as steel.

"Mr. Kyle, please show us the way. We will pick up Dr. Barnes and then visit the homes you mentioned where evil spirits have entered the body."

"Well, Barnes lives in the North District, not far away."

It took the trio more than ten minutes to pick up Barnes, who was still resting. When he opened the door, his hair was frizzy and his eyes were dull. After listening to Kyle's introduction, Barnes made a judgment immediately.

"This is probably because the brain and body nerves have been damaged. The patient cannot control himself. Mr. Annick, you are right. Let's go and take a look."

In the North District, there is a row of low-cost apartments next to the factory and close to the river. The apartments here all look shabby. The paint on many walls has fallen off, exposing the masonry inside. Some wooden boards were randomly built to form three or four

The houses are then rented out.

Sewage flowed across the street, and the eyes of the people on the roadside were numb. Some were standing on the street in simple and revealing clothes. The woman also tried to win over some passers-by. Seeing Anike's clothes, they stood on both sides of the road, seeming to be afraid of herself.

Kyle walked to a low-rise townhouse. A middle-aged woman was squatting on the ground, rubbing her clothes in her hands. Her hair was withered and yellow, and her palms were a little swollen from being soaked in water for a long time. Beside her, there were also

There were two large piles of laundry. A baby boy who could not walk yet was placed in a wooden stroller next to it. To be precise, it was just a few wooden boards spliced ​​together to resemble a cage. The child did not

Crying, just staring at the people passing by on the roadside.

"Donna, how are you lately?"

The female worker did not raise her head, but cursed loudly.

"Go away, if we don't sell the house, you will just stare at this small room. Without it, how can we, mother and son, survive?"

Kyle looked embarrassed, then took a step forward and squatted on the ground so that the female worker named Donna could look at him.

"Donna, I'm Kyle, we're here to help you."

When Donna heard Kyle's name, she raised her head, looked at a strange trio behind him wearing a priest's robe, a black uniform and a white coat, and asked hesitantly.

"Mr. Kyle, what are you doing?"

"Come and see Nell, these are good people."

Donna stood up, took a step back, and said with a hint of vigilance: "We have no money, and we will not sell this house. This is the last valuable thing."

Jacob couldn't stand it anymore and said, "How long have you still cared about money? Doesn't your husband's life matter?"

Donna bit her lip and said with difficulty: "It can't be cured anyway. The parents of that unlucky guy a few days ago spent all their money and invited wizards and priests to come, but they still couldn't be saved. We, mother and son, still have to live. We can't."

Relegated to the almshouse."

This almshouse eats a lot of people, but Annick can understand it. He stopped Jacob from speaking, forced a smile, and then said: "Madam, we are here out of kindness this time, and it is all free of charge. Do you understand? You

Know my badge, it is no more convincing than the others."

Annick pointed to the sword, saber and unicorn badge on his shoulder, and then tried hard to prove that he and his group were not money scammers.

"I can recognize this as a police logo. It looks a bit more senior than the brass of the police chiefs in charge of this neighborhood. Forget it, are you really willing to help for free? We really don't have money to pay for it."

"No, I'm Dr. Barnes. I believe you should have heard of my reputation."

Barnes took a few steps forward, then stretched out his hand to Donna.

"Are you really Dr. Barnes? That good Samaritan who doesn't charge outpatient fees to the poor?"

Donna quickly wiped her hands on her washed white shirt, and then grabbed the doctor's hand tightly, as if it was the last straw for a drowning person.
