Chapter 2799 The Truth Society and the Difference Engine
Both North and South are aware of the value of this automated computing machinery, and therefore have their own design and manufacturing plans.
During the Fort Midhill incident last year, after Lesia learned that Kasenrik was seeking information from the Delarian Academy of Sciences on the "automatic mechanized gear calculator based on steam power", she used General Shad to find out the missing key.
Pass them the drawings of the parts (Chapter 655).
In that information, Shade called this machine a "difference engine."
For this reason, Kasenrik thought that thing was called the "Difference Engine". After MI6 later stole the information from the Kasenrik Royal Academy of Sciences, it brought the name back to the Northland, so the Northland also began to call it
It is a "difference engine".
"I know this, and I am also concerned about the current development of cutting-edge science and technology. Is [the Truth Society] busy with this?"
The thirteen-ring warlock who created the church nodded:
“During the Battle of the Pantanal last winter, when the now-crazy Lykins Plisha held the Chosen Ceremony, didn’t the light of enlightenment help many people gain knowledge and wisdom?
The church's insiders received information that the vice-president of the [Truth Society] present at the time, who is now the president of the Nine Rings, Ms. Pavo, received enlightenment related to the manufacture of the difference engine. And we are almost certain that the difference she wanted
The machine is definitely different from what ordinary scientists imagine.
That Miss Paavo has always been mysterious, but we know that she specializes in mathematics, and she must have a deep understanding of this kind of machinery."
Seeing Xia De showing interest, Mr. Delong shook his head again:
"This is all we know, the information of the [Truth Society] is not easy to obtain.
You also know that the power I am good at is related to mechanical and steam power, so I have been paying attention to Delrayon and Carson Ricker's "Difference Engine" project from a long time ago, and I am also very clear about its value.
No matter what Ms. Paavo of the Truth Society knew at the time, I have a hunch that the project they are working on related to the difference engine will probably be the craziest plan in the history of the Truth Society."
"Then the church didn't investigate and go to the academies of science of the two countries to determine whether there were insiders planted by the [Truth Society]? Even if Miss Paavo obtained enlightenment, the [Truth Society] can't design such complex large-scale machinery from scratch, right?
?”
"it's useless."
The thirteen-ring warlock shook his head:
"The [Truth Society] is not a simple organization of magicians. Crazy ordinary ordinary scientists and mechanics are also part of the [Truth Society]. In fact, in my opinion, one-third of the people in the Southern and Northern Academy of Sciences,
Everyone has the potential to become a member of the [Truth Society]. In this crazy era, the most indispensable thing is lunatics with talents and ideas.
I have made suggestions to the church, and the church is already monitoring the progress of this project. We have not let down our guard. It’s just that manpower is needed everywhere in the material world. The matter of the [Truth Society] and the Difference Engine is obviously not the most urgent matter.
.”
He moved his left arm, and Shade clearly heard the sound of gears and bearings:
"In short, I am personally willing to trade with you any information related to the [Truth Society]."
"That Miss Paavo is mysterious. Although I have met her a few times, I don't have any information about her for the time being."
The last time I saw Miss Paavo was before the Battle of Moon Bay, that lady should also appear this time.
And I thought of the prophecy made by the old fishman priest of the [Scarlet Order] during the Coldwater Harbor incident last fall - it said Mr. Gerald Delon, "You, as a human being, try to abandon flesh and blood."
Shade not only speculated that the thirteen-ring warlock from the Church of the Machinery was interested in the Difference Engine, but actually wanted to use the "Difference Engine" to complete some kind of incredible experiment.
Of course, this is just suspicion, and he is not going to question the church ring magician that he actually doesn't understand.
Considering that it took too long for him to "go to the bathroom", Shade also planned to go back, so he asked the real question he came over to talk to:
"Speaking of which, Mr. Delong, are you here because of what's going on with this afternoon tea?"
"Aren't you here too?"
The ring wizard who created the church asked with a smile, and then explained:
"I am just idle in the church, and occasionally participate in social activities. Maybe I will encounter some 'surprises'. For example, didn't I meet you during this afternoon's trip?"
As he spoke, he looked at Shade again:
"So what's wrong here?"
"At least not yet. This is the city center. Who dares to cause trouble here?"
The two nodded to each other, and Shade turned and left the venue.
After staying in the bathroom for a while, making sure that he was not being followed, and using his senses to check whether there were any small mechanical objects nearby, Shade returned to his disguised appearance and returned to Flora.
As expected, the witch teased Shade for being away for too long, but then she took a fashion magazine from an unknown source and asked Shade if the clothes on it were suitable for her.
This question is not easy to answer. It would be too perfunctory to say "all are suitable". Therefore, Shade could only ask "her" to help, and then chose two sets of dark skirts.
Flora praised him for his "very good vision".
Although Mrs. Shatara is a foreigner, her communication skills are truly extraordinary. Within just two months of coming to Vista City, almost all the local nobles and businessmen know her.
Therefore, she seemed very busy at this afternoon tea party. Shade and Flora did not have the opportunity to approach her until four o'clock in the afternoon, or it could be said that she came to her on her own initiative.
This was not a plan by Shade and the two of them, but Sir Wayne briefly said a few words to Lady Shatala, who seemed to have nothing to do with him, so the noble lady knew that Shade had Willendale's possessions.
"High-end goods" that ladies spread word of mouth.
"What a handsome young man~"
She waved her fan and came to the sofa and stretched out her hand to Shade. Shade stood up and took her hand, then kissed her fingers.
【Yes, devil.】
"She" whispered in his ear, and Shade tried very hard not to make a disgusting expression. But no matter what, the four fragments of the devil were finally gathered together:
"Hello, what can I do?"
Mrs. Shatala is a noble lady with blond hair and a plump figure. Although Miss Bell said that she is close to forty, she looks only in her thirties.
When she covered her face with a fan and smiled with squinted eyes, the description of "still charming" was really suitable for her.
At this time, Shade was very glad that he brought Flora with him to conduct this investigation, because Flora, who also stood up, almost immediately showed hostility to Mrs. Shaitala without any concealment. And this hostility can
Helping Shade cover up his discovery, Flora's acting skills are really good.
[Honestly, do you really think she is acting?]
"Good afternoon, Mr. Holmes, I just heard a gentleman say that you have Willondale's 'gold yarn' in your hand, right?"
"Golden yarn" is the name people in Willondale give to the high-end stockings that Miss Sylvia does not sell. "Gold" represents nobility and rarity, and "yarn" represents that they are textiles.
"Yes, but this kind of fabric is not available for purchase. To be honest, this is a gift from my business partner."
Shade explained, then the lady who covered the lower half of her face with a fan smiled and asked:
"Well, sir, I'm really sorry to say this. I've always heard of Willendale's 'Golden Yarn' and I've seen other people using it at cocktail parties and banquets. But, do you intend to transfer one or two pairs?
I can pay a high price for it."
"this"
Shade looked at Flora in embarrassment:
"I have given those golden yarns as gifts to my female companion."
"I don't have the habit of giving away my clothes to others."
So the witch said, glaring at the rather "coquettish" looking woman without showing any signs of weakness. She knew that she was a latecomer compared to Carina and others, so she had no position to evaluate Shade's love life, but she didn't want to
It is the consensus of the witches to let such a person get close to Shade.
As long as Madam Shatala was not stupid, she would certainly have sensed the hostility of the young female companion beside Shade, but she didn’t feel anything was wrong:
"That's really a pity. For us outsiders from Willendale, it's very difficult not only to break into the circle of those noble ladies, but also to wear clothes with the same taste as them."
After saying goodbye politely, she turned and left. Flora was still a little unhappy, and when she sat down, she did not forget to warn Shade to stay away from such people.
Although the identity of the devil has only been confirmed, it seems that the relationship between the Hoy Manor that burned three hundred years ago, the Kant family today, the antiques in the cellar of the deserted village, and the Delinall Zionists can all be understood.
It's clear.
There is still no trace of the curse of time on this split body of the devil, so the treasure of the Hoy family was brought by an ordinary man, Sir Wayne, from three hundred years ago.
Part of the "Hoy Treasures" was kept in the hands of Sir Wayne himself for him to do business in order to strengthen the power of the Delinall Zionists; the other part was used as a transit point through the deserted village and was gifted to
Mr. Kant, the local police chief, used the subsequent treasure as a temptation to manipulate him into contacting the upper-class nobles of Willendale.
As for why Sir Wayne gave the antiques to Director Kant, there should be guidance from "Mrs. Shatala" who is also a Zionist. Shade even speculated whether Director Kant had been in contact with Delino.
Zionists cooperate.
If this is the case, Shade can only say that the demon of fire, but actually it is not impossible to change his name to "the demon of provoking war".
