Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

It has been several days since the steam engine was built and the kite experiment was carried out.

After completing the big project of the steam engine and submitting their suggestions for improvement, several scientists came to ask Lucifer to say goodbye, preparing to leave the Garden of Eden and go home.

No way, when they came, they thought it was just a meeting, and it was over in two or three days. How could they have spent almost two weeks here, and because they knew more like-minded people, they found another meeting for themselves? Heaps of work, if they don't leave now, they really can't leave when the next project starts!

Some of them take selling their own inventions as a job, but there are also some who have normal jobs and at the same time take research as their best interest. The time to come to the Garden of Eden to attend this meeting is obtained by asking for leave. I can't explain.

When these people came to ask Lucifer to say goodbye, Lucifer told them: "If there is a need for funds, you can send me a project funding application. As long as it is a research that I think is meaningful, I will invest."

He doesn't want these geniuses to go to such trivial things as chopping wood, calculating accounts, and assembling bicycles. Repetitive labor will wear down a person's will, vitality, and wisdom.

If it is to do these things for a living, then Lucifer is willing to become an angel investor-this is really an angel investment in the literal sense, there is no wrong word-to solve their worries for the future, the only condition is to let They can study with peace of mind.

Some people are very grateful for Lucifer's proposal, saying that even so, he has to go back and resign his job in person, so that he can be worthy of the boss who has been waiting for him to give him a leave of absence, and he has to explain to his parents that he may have to work for a long time in the future. Dwell here in Eden...

"So, we should make steam cars available." Lucifer seized every opportunity to instill this idea.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first... Even if you don't need to get rich, improving traffic problems is a magic weapon to promote social development.

Scientists who have experienced first-hand how troublesome the inconvenient transportation is can nod deeply in agreement.

Another group of people who don’t need to resign, but still insist on going home, also make sense: “I have to bring over my research materials from my hometown! It’s too much trouble to calculate the data that I’ve calculated before. !"

Especially the computer pioneer Babbage, he planned to build a computer, the data is too big, he brought the blueprint when he came, otherwise the caravan would not need to transport anything else, just his data would be enough, nothing else place to put.

When Babbage said goodbye to Lucifer, he let out a long sigh: "The amount of data is really huge, but if my computer can be built, future calculations will not be a big problem, and it will save a lot of time."

Lucifer was very moved, and took the initiative to hold Babbage's hand: "This is a research that has merit in the present and benefits in the future. No matter how much money you need, I will support you."

boss!You must give computer research a good start! ! !

It is even better if the person who can live there studies electricity to a certain extent, then he can update the power of the steam engine and jump into the computer age...

Thinking of this bright future, Lucifer paid more attention to Babbage: "Be careful on the road, I will wait for you to come back."

Babbage was also moved.

Does merit in the present age benefit future generations...

Even most of my friends couldn't understand it, and called it a "money-burning machine". I didn't expect that Mr. Sage would have such a high evaluation of his research!

Babbage was indeed short of money. It can even be said that he was one of the best researchers in the room when it came to lack of money.

At this moment, with such a big brother who is not short of money willing to support him, what else can he say?

"Thank you! You are so kind, you are almost like an angel." Babbage burst into tears, "I promise I will be back soon!"

When Lucifer heard the word angel, his eyes drifted away for a second. Fortunately, Martin Nicholas could not see his expression at all, otherwise he would have no face to blame Michael: "Is the travel fare enough? There are a lot of information If so, I will give you the moving money first."

In this world, people do not move frequently, and most of the people who come and go in various cities are caravans. If other people want to leave one city for another, they can only entrust the caravan to bring them, because it is very difficult to prepare a carriage or something. Trouble, I still need to find a car driver, the road between cities is not smooth enough to ride a bicycle, no matter how you look at it, entrusting a caravan is the most convenient.

As a result, the caravan has monopolized the tourism industry against its own will...

It is a matter of course that the more things you bring, the higher the price you need to pay, as the price of taking up the space to put the goods.

Lucifer was really worried about whether Babbage could bring everything he should bring.

Babbage moved his mouth, but in the end he was unable to utter the words of rejection, but gratefully accepted the cloth bag with the silver coins.

Where can I find such a generous investor!

Babbage made up his mind to research the computer as soon as possible, because this is not only his own dream, but also carries the expectations of his research partners and the sage.

Compared with these people who left voluntarily, Leonardo Da Vinci, who should go back and explain the situation to his employer who took on a bunch of jobs, stayed in the shop very calmly, not even planning to write a letter.

"...Don't you need to explain?" Lucifer asked tactfully.

"When everyone came to entrust me, I said that the time limit for completion was uncertain, and they had no objection." Da Vinci was confident, "And this is the time when I is needed, and I can't leave now."

Hmm... It's really inconvenient for Da Vinci to leave now, because he has been involved in the research of too many people, and people are always looking for him to talk about related topics. If he leaves, the impact will be quite big.

But Da Vinci remembered something immediately: "Wait, speaking of which, I really need to write a letter and send it back... You reminded me, I have to tell my family that I found a model for Angel... Let them send over the painting of their ancestors."

Lucifer: "...ah."

Seeing Da Vinci hurriedly unfolding the paper to write a letter, Lucifer finally remembered that Da Vinci's ancestor seemed to have painted a portrait of "Lucifer"...

Here, I can only hope that the painting doesn't look like it. He doesn't want to follow in Michael's footsteps.

Anyway, Michael didn't really have a portrait left behind. If he was exposed because of the portrait instead, he feels that he has no right to complain about Michael in the future! ! !

"Portraits don't really matter." Lucifer didn't want to look at the portraits, "It's your ancestors' diaries, can you find them?"

"Yes!" Da Vinci said briskly, "I'll ask my sister to help me find it."

In this way, after leaving some people and the remaining number stabilized, Lucifer was finally able to transfer all the people in the seminar to the rented tailor shop next door.

The second floor of the tailor shop was still used as a dormitory, and the beds on the first floor were removed according to the number of people, and tables and chairs were put in so that they could continue their research here.

The Apple store finally resumed normal business after nearly half a month.

"That Martin is weird."

Satan sat by the counter, drinking pearl milk tea, and said in a firm tone.

The pearl milk tea is drawn by Lucifer from an ordinary pool. The pearls do not need to be boiled, they are soaked in hot water directly, so the taste is a bit subtle, but Satan, who has never drank it, is quite happy.

He swallowed the pearl, looked at Lucifer who sat behind the counter again because of the resumption of business, and asked, "What do you think?"

"It's okay." Lucifer promised Michael that he would keep his promise if he didn't tell Satan that he lost his horse. "He's always been like this."

Satan's understanding of human beings is probably second only to Lucifer among angels, so he could discern the change in Martin's attitude very keenly: "No, absolutely something happened...don't you believe me?"

He looked at Lucifer aggrievedly, took ten pearls in one breath, and chewed them unhappy.

"Of course I believe you, but you don't need to stare at the emotional changes of a human being, you are too talented." Lucifer said helplessly.

Satan's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked in a tone of "Brother, who shall we kill today", "Then, shall I make another thunderstorm?"

"...No, I didn't ask you to do such a thing, let me think about it."

Lucifer felt that he had to find something for Satan to do.

It feels like Michael and Satan have strangely distorted personalities... They are angels who symbolize purity and beauty, but why are they worse than humans in this respect!

Michael is a little better, it feels like the emotional inconsistency caused by facial paralysis (Michael: ...???), Satan's problem is more serious.

Satan's self-confidence is very self-confident, and he doesn't show any cowardice. Michael, who has a higher status than himself, doesn't hesitate, and doesn't even use honorifics, but he pins his dreams on others, as if he wanted to be Lucifer's dream. The attitude of giving everything...

Lucifer has been pondering whether the "core instructions" set by God in the angels have been mutated by Satan. Although according to Satan's own logic, there is no conflict, but there are some pathological attachments that appear in angels. It's against peace.

Or, when God created angels, he was actually very big-hearted, and he was not attached to elements such as goodness and light...?

Lucifer, who had lost his memory, couldn't figure it out. In short, in order to make Satan more independent and stop clinging to himself, Lucifer thought of an idea.

"Since you are very sensitive to people's emotions..." Lucifer pondered, "I have a mission here, and it's up to you."

Satan is like a big dog who has been ordered. His whole mental outlook is different. His invisible tail flicks back and forth, and he looks at Lucifer with bright eyes: "What task?"

"A Social Survey."

Lucifer said: "I would like to know what has changed between the Garden of Eden now and when you first came to the Garden of Eden, as well as everyone's expectations for the future, their views on steam engines, and whether they are satisfied with their current jobs. Yes. I need a detailed report, the more samples and data the better, it is best to make statistics on emotions, such as the approximate proportion of negative emotions when mentioning the steam engine... like this."

This is a somewhat cumbersome research, especially the requirement for the number of samples, and the fact that only one person is in charge of this matter has increased the difficulty.

But Satan nodded without any opinion: "I understand! I promise to complete the task!"

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Although Lucifer only wanted to keep Satan busy at first, but as soon as he said the words, he found that such an investigation report was really needed at present, so he made more and more requests.

For the necessity also increases.

After getting the report, he will be able to intuitively see the heart of the Garden of Eden, and he will be able to choose a safer place for the insertion point of the reform...

Really, why didn't he think of it before?This kind of social survey should be done regularly, Satan's ability to see through people's hearts is also very suitable for this job, and he can get accurate data.

After all, even if people don't lie about it, people's hearts are very complicated.

It's like talking about looking forward to the use of steam cars, but in fact subconsciously aware of the impact on your work, so there may be some resistance.

"...Satan, you really helped me a lot."

Lucifer said it unconsciously.

Came to look for Lucifer, and Michael, who just heard this sentence, couldn't help but said: "...So I am very useless, right? I really should have a dragon, so that you can see how useful I am."

"No." Lucifer refused decisively.

——What kind of flag to set up, you can shut up!
