Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

Mary Watt has been living in utopia.

It is said that before she was born, their family lived in the Garden of Eden, and later moved to Utopia for some reasons, but they have not been back for a long time because of the inconvenience of travel.

However, when Mary Watt heard her mother mention Eden, as well as Eden's relatives and friends, the tone of regret and nostalgia made her also curious about Eden since she was a child.

She once asked her mother: "If you miss Eden so much, why don't you go back?"

While braiding her hair, her mother said in a coaxing tone, "Because it's too far away, and my mother is very busy now. I can't do without my mother here."

"...if only Eden were nearer," said young Mary Watt, childishly.

"Well, but things like distance can't be changed... If you meet the legendary dragon, you might be able to ride the dragon to the Garden of Eden overnight."

Naturally, dragons have never been encountered, and still only exist in legends and church records.

But there is a way to shorten the time it takes to go back and forth to Eden, and this way appears in my grandfather's notebook.

A steam engine improvement plan-due to the lack of materials, it was difficult for Mary Watt to find the materials before the improvement-Mary Watt immediately thought of the idea of ​​a steam-powered car.

If successful, the speed of steam-powered vehicles will far exceed that of bicycles, tricycles and horse-drawn carriages commonly used today, and it will not take long to travel between Eden and Utopia.

It's a pity that Mary Watt's research was just started, but was denied by her father.

Her father said very euphemistically: "This research...although it looks great, but it will not be put into use, otherwise my father would not have sealed the experimental data back then."

"Why?" Mary Watt didn't understand, "I think it's a good thing."

"My father thought so too, but the church convinced him." Mary's father shrugged helplessly, "If this steam engine is put into use, then your mother and I will lose our jobs."

Despite this, Mary Watt continued to study with her hobby, just like the person who studied the first generation of steam engines, or like the grandfather who plunged into the improvement of steam engines after finding the first person's idea in the library, or There are countless people in the world doing research that may never be useful.

Parents feel that they have told her everything Mary Watt should know, and even so, if she continues to study, they have no reason to stop, and there are many people in this situation in the world.

In terms of parenthood, the Watts are very qualified.

So, while working, Mary Watt took the time to study along with her grandfather's materials, and the focus of her research was on steam cars that could speed up traffic.

Until last month, Mary Watt thought that her research, like her grandfather’s thesis, would be sealed up as a proof of personal hobbies, but because she is a businessman, she often travels far and rarely goes to the Garden of Eden Mr. Archimedes actually brought back news about the steam engine.

At first, when I went to the library, I heard my father's friend, Mr. Archimedes, chatting with people outside the library.

"If you want to make milk tea, you should guarantee the delivery time of the milk, right?"

"Of course I know about this kind of thing." Mr. Archimedes said, "Someone even told me the method, but it may be a bit difficult to implement."

Another person immediately asked: "What method?"

"Steam powered car."

"...I don't think the church would agree."

Mr. Archimedes sighed: "I thought so too, but...the sage who proposed..."

The man asked curiously: "Why, that sage is from the church?"

"No, but he's really different." Mr. Archimedes said in a complicated tone, "It's that kind of feeling that what he wants to do can't be vetoed... In short, my instinct tells me, It doesn't hurt to be prepared in advance, so I wanted to see if our library here has any materials related to steam engines."

Hearing this, Mary Watt couldn't hold back any longer. She trotted over and asked Mr. Archimedes about the sage in the Garden of Eden.

"Yes, he admired steam power very much, and he also quoted all the related books in the Eden library." Mr. Archimedes looked at Mary Watt thoughtfully.

Mary Watt was very excited, even overshadowing her shy nature: "Do you think that sage can convince the church?"

Mr. Archimedes hesitated for a moment: "No, I'm not sure about this kind of thing..."

Mary Watt was a little disappointed, but it was the first time in these years that someone mentioned the steam engine, and even wanted to use the steam engine in transportation. Answer, it is still difficult to return to the previous peace of mind.

Her abnormality was discovered by her parents.

"...Mary has always wanted to go to the Garden of Eden, right?" After hearing the details, my mother had a complicated expression.

Dad also sighed: "Even if I worship my father again, it won't be like this..."

Mary Watt whispered: "It's not about grandfather."

It is because I want my mother to be able to travel between Eden and Utopia at will, and to continue to communicate with childhood friends, without having to wait for a long, long time to reply to the letter every time.

...Well, one of the reasons is to be curious about where my mother lived when I was a child. In short, it has little to do with my grandfather.

"In this case, why don't you go to the Garden of Eden once." Dad quickly thought about it, "Actually, you don't have to stay in Utopia to accompany us. It won't work."

The reason why Mary Watt has never traveled far is because she is too shy towards strangers, which makes her somewhat resistant to going out alone, but she also knows that her parents really don't have time to accompany her, either she Follow the caravan to the Garden of Eden by yourself, or stay.

It was the first time that she made a decision so quickly. She started to pack her luggage that day, found a caravan willing to take her the next day, and said goodbye to her parents and set off on the third day.

But when she hit the road, her courage deflated like a deflated balloon, and she began to feel uneasy.

What if the sage was just talking casually?What if he can't convince the church?just in case……

With so many possibilities, the more Mary Watt thought about it, the more she regretted it, and felt that she should go home.

But things soon turned around.

"……This is?"

The papers excerpted above are familiar, and some data are also familiar...

"It's a flyer." The businessman named Carnegie said with a smile, "Our sage has made up his mind to build a steam car. It is said that even the church has persuaded him, and now we need technical support, so I hope to have a good understanding of steam power." Those who are interested can go to the Garden of Eden for this seminar."

Mary Watt was stunned.

Actually convinced the church? !How did you do it? !

Although she is emotionally looking forward to the success of the other party, her rationality tells her that it is very difficult... Then someone suddenly came out and told her that the most difficult church was actually taken care of? !

Mary Watt repeatedly confirmed the leaflet, especially when it did not directly mark the start time, but only said that it was after the Thanksgiving in the Garden of Eden. It was very disturbing: "Is it too late... When is the Thanksgiving in the Garden of Eden?"

"Hurry up, it's just a matter of these few days." Carnegie the businessman said with a smile, "Don't worry, this place is not far from the Garden of Eden, and you can get there if you take a little longer... I heard that you are from Utopia? Do you want to participate in this seminar? Will it? That's really a coincidence, if you receive this leaflet in Utopia, it will be too late."

Mary Watt nodded sympathetically.

This must be the guidance of God, which made her decide to go to the Garden of Eden in advance!

In this way, Mary Watt, who had been languid all the way, finally regained her spirits and came to the Garden of Eden full of expectations.

From the moment she entered the Garden of Eden, Mary Watt noticed the difference between this place and Utopia, as well as the cities she had passed through before—I don’t know if it was because of the festival, but it was very lively here. There is a clear difference, the aroma of improved coffee is wafting in the air, which is completely different from the Garden of Eden in the mouth of the parents!

Now that it had reached Eden, the caravan completed its mission and dropped Mary Watt at the door of an inn.

Mary Watt was still a little worried that the hotel would be full before and after the Thanksgiving. Fortunately, she was lucky that there was only one single room left in the hotel, so she had a place to stay.

After she tidied up her luggage for a while, she immediately went out with the materials she had prepared.

Although Mary Watt never left Utopia, that doesn't mean she didn't have friends who lived in Eden.

She has a same-sex friend surnamed Franklin, who also runs a printing factory, so she has communicated with the printing factory where her mother works, and after knowing that she invented the new type of penetrating printing technology in the printing factory, she is very interested in looking for her I bought the right to use it, and took this as an opportunity to become pen pals with her.

When she set off from Utopia, she didn't tell Franklin, because even if she wrote a letter, she would probably be able to go to the Garden of Eden with her.

"How is it possible?" Miss Franklin who welcomed her into her home rolled her eyes unceremoniously, "Thanksgiving is coming soon, when is it not good for me to go out, why not at this time? ——Speaking of which, why don't you come to the Garden of Eden? Tell me, it suddenly popped up and scared me."

Mary Watt whispered, "I'm here to attend the steam engine seminar...these are the materials I brought."

"So that's it." Franklin obviously also knew about the seminar, "I wrote you a letter just to tell you about it, but I didn't expect that the letter didn't arrive, and you arrived first. You are so well-informed."

Mary Watt had no choice but to explain her source of information and the reason why she came to Franklin first, and Franklin understood: "Okay, anyway, I'm used to your personality, so let me negotiate for you... I I'm going to the newspaper office in a while, and I happen to drop by Mr. Sage, do you want to go together?"

In the end, before they went to the Apple store, they saw the sage-sama in the newspaper office.

Mary Watt understood at the first sight of the other party, why Mr. Archimedes said that "what he wants to do can't be rejected by others".

Even the wisest elder in Utopia is inferior to this sage's mysterious and wise quiet demeanor. His golden eyes that seem to see through everything are quietly looking at her, and his handsome face beyond her imagination is revealed. A shallow smile.

"Please let me read it now."

"...Do you think the steam engine is easy to use?" Mary Watt handed the information in her hand to the other party, and then asked cautiously.

"Of course. The steam engine is very useful, it will change the world, and your name will be remembered."

The black-haired and golden-eyed great sage said this with a firm tone, as if he had seen the future when the steam engine was put into use.
