The bone of sin domain is king

Chapter 543 Act Seven. Master Heidegger

The morning in Greenwich came very early. In the steamy atmosphere, various shops put up their signboards one after another. The whole city gradually woke up and began to go about its daily life again.

In the city square, people from all over the world are looking for opportunities. They either hold treasures unearthed from all over the mainland, or they hold the hard work of their own research and development for many days and are eager to sell those things at a good price.

This is the daily life of this industrial city, with little change over the years.

In this unchanging daily life, a steam carriage passed by, making a noisy sound, which made several passers-by frown slightly, but after seeing the coat of arms on the carriage, they dared not say anything.

It was the carriage of the Master Craftsman of the Craftsman Alliance.

The steam engine roared across the street and arrived in front of a rather spectacular building on the side of the square.

The shape of this building is quite like a nut, looming in the mist, but no passerby will stop to watch, because they all know that this is the headquarters of the Artisans Union.

The carriage stopped in front of the building, and there was a statue of an Ayre craftsman holding a wrench aloft. The whole body was made of bronze, which was lifelike and showed the superb skills of the Ayre craftsmen.

From the car, an old man of the Ayre tribe in a noble dress stepped out.

He is not tall, only at the level of a human child, his hands and feet are short, and he looks a little bloated, just like the general El race.

The old man wore a monocle, a top hat on his head, and held a shiny cane in his hand. He looked like an old gentleman.

He took out a pocket watch from his breast pocket, opened it and looked at the time, then nodded with satisfaction before starting to walk into the building.

But as soon as he took two steps, he saw another steam carriage approaching, and three people got off from it.

He was familiar with the two Ayr men, and the old gentleman had heard about the tall man who was obviously not from the Ayr tribe.

Seeing the three people getting off a carriage, the old gentleman frowned and then shouted.

"Swift, you and Taylor need to take care of your image."

He looked at the two master craftsmen. The clothes they wore were still the rough work clothes they wore at work. They were full of oil and looked dirty.

"Good morning, Master Heidegger."

Taylor saluted and said, Master Heidegger is one of the rotating chairmen, he is quite prestigious in Greenwich, and he is also one of the targets they will focus on persuading today.

"I heard that you guys were working on something together recently. I remember that you two didn't have a good relationship before, right?"

Heidegger asked, seeing that Swift and Taylor looked like brothers at the moment, he was a little puzzled.

He clearly remembered that although the workshops of Taylor and Swift were opposite each other, they rarely interacted with each other. Even at the monthly regular meeting of the Artisan Union, there were almost no conversations, and disputes occurred during the few conversations. So Heidegger thought that the relationship between these two people was not good.

"No, Master Swift and I are best friends now, aren't we?"

Taylor patted Swift on the shoulder, making the old craftsman smile unnaturally.

Compared with Taylor, Swift is obviously the kind of person who is not good at words. He only has the most basic respect for Heidegger.

"That's good, I hope you can also have an excellent report today."

Heidegger snorted, and then walked into the building on his own. He only glanced at Rosen and said nothing more.

"He is one of the rotating presidents. He is a good-looking person, but he is pretty good in other aspects."

Taylor explained to Rosen in a low voice.

"Let's go in quickly. Since Master Heidegger has arrived, the representative meeting is about to start. We can't be late today."

The three of them walked forward quickly, passed the long corridor and came to a huge meeting room. When they entered, they could see that there were already many people seated here, and to Rosen's surprise, not all the people in the meeting room It's the Ayre tribe. Many humans and even the Felt tribe are discussing in low voices in their seats. The appearance of an existence like Rosen here did not cause much commotion.

Relying on his strong perception, Rosen probably also figured out the identities of these people. Except for a few master craftsmen who were indeed aliens, the rest were basically business representatives who had business dealings with Greenwich.

These merchant representatives settled in this workshop city, and were also invited to participate in the regular meeting of the Craftsman Union every month to learn about the latest technology from Greenwich, and at the same time convey it to the headquarters to decide whether to invest in a certain technology.

The master craftsmen and some craftsmen with outstanding skills will report their monthly research progress here, on the one hand to exchange academic knowledge, and on the other hand to strive for more investment.

From a certain point of view, this is similar to Rosen's previous university professors who solicited research funding.

Not long after they sat down, with a long bell, the meeting officially started.

First, the rotating chairmen briefed them on recent things that needed attention in the city, and then started with the first master craftsman to report on the results.

Some people's reports are very simple, just a few sentences, while others are very long, lasting nearly a quarter of an hour. Most of those simple people have made little progress in research or the development cycle is very long, while complicated people are generally those who have just established a project or It has been basically completed.

During the period, there were also presentations by several ordinary craftsmen. It can be seen that most of them were very nervous and the results were somewhat rough.

Merchants and other master craftsmen would discuss privately from time to time. It can be seen that several master craftsmen should be regarded as popular figures. Their publication time is not short, and the response is relatively enthusiastic.

From here, Rosen probably learned about Greenwich's technical level. It is indeed in the late stage of the steam age. Due to the lack of fuel such as oil, the power technology has stagnated in a certain sense, and the Aiir tribe who are not good at using magic materials At this time, technological progress has indeed fallen into a bottleneck.

Even for the popular master craftsmen, their topics are mostly improved research and development such as replacing materials or improving structures, and there are few substantial innovations.

After a master craftsman published that the steam engine should improve the efficiency of irrigation, it was time for Taylor to publish.

"Ahem, this time, I am publishing together with Master Swift."

Hearing Taylor's words, there were a lot of whispers in the audience. Most of them, like Heidegger, were puzzled by the sudden cooperation between the two, but these whispers disappeared when Taylor spoke about his topic.

"Our topic is the application of automatic machine tools and magic programs in industrial production."
