Last Totem Novel - Chapter 278
Chapter 278 Starfire
Halfway through Sam Nichols’ calculations, the maid brought another guest. The guest was a skinny middle-aged man dressed in black work clothes
After seeing Tie Zha, the middle-aged man bowed and introduced himself, “I am an engineer from the Mechanical Power Armor Technology Department of Great Wall Company. My name is Qin Feng. I am very happy to be of service to you.”
Tie Zha nodded in return, then extended his hand to signal for the other party to sit down. After sitting down, the man took out a thin photo album and handed it over, explaining, “Lord Iron Slag, this is our product. Please take a look.”
After receiving the album, Tie Zha opened it and looked at it casually. His pupils immediately shrank and he looked at it carefully. The mechanical power armor provided by the Great Wall Company was actually very similar to the one he had worn in the Hall of Heroic Spirit. Looking at the model, it said, “Snow Fox, Flying Bird, Stone Pillar.” If I’m not mistaken, these three names are “Dawn, Nightingale, and the Colossus”. In an instant, a sense of familiarity surged into his heart, stirring the blood all over his body.
This was the Holy Wolf Guardian’s motivation armor, the glory of his ancestors.
The album only had three pages, each of which was an introduction to a mechanical power armor. Tie Zha quickly finished reading the album. Then, he put down the album and looked at Qin Feng. He asked calmly, “Tell me briefly.”
“Our company mainly produces three types of power armor: conventional snow fox, scouting bird and defensive stone pillar.”
“I have a budget of 12,000 gold. I’m preparing to customize three sets. Do you have any suggestions?” Tie Zha asked.
“There are no recommendations for the time being. We need to combine the customer’s height, weight, actual combat style and ability to walk continuously under heavy loads in order to give reasonable recommendations.” Qin Feng replied.
“Specifically, what kind of data do you need? Why do you need it?” Tie Zha casually looked at Sam, who was calculating on the coffee table, and asked.
Qin Feng explained that the larger the wearer was, the heavier the power armor would be. The ability to walk under constant load represented the distance the wearer could walk when the engine was switched off. As for the combat style, it had a lot to do with the wearer’s personal habits. For example, some people who were accustomed to flexible combat were not suitable for wearing too heavy mechanical power armor.
“Friend Sam, doesn’t Halley Industries need these data?” Tie Zha asked.
“This” Sam stopped his pen and hesitated for a moment. Then, he turned to look at Qin Feng and said with disdain, “Great Wall Company’s technology is backward. That’s why they need such complicated data.”
Facing Sam’s contempt, Qin Feng was not angry. He only smiled gently and said, “I admit that the mechanical manufacturing process of Halley Industries far surpasses Great Wall Company, but in terms of mechanical power armor, you are just novices.”
Sam snorted but did not refute. According to the internal documents of Harley Industries, when Northern Heavy Industries split up, the database of Mechanical Power A was left in the Great Wall Company. No one would have thought that two hundred years later, the Mechanical Power Armor would actually be put back into production. In this regard, the Harley industry has been studying almost from scratch. Although they had experience in manufacturing psionic power armors and had many patented technologies that Great Wall did not have, there was pitifully little information on the practical use of mechanical power armors. As a result, they can only roll out a single model of mechanical power armor, then slowly collect the application data, and then make adjustments.
‘”Sir Tie Zha, please forgive me for asking …” Qin Feng glanced at Sam and sincerely asked Tie Zha, “How much do you have in Harley Industries?”
“Thirty thousand.” Just as Sam was about to say something, Tie Zha answered. He believed that Mu Yu Ling Lan, who had always been calm and cautious, would not introduce those unreliable people to him.
Qin Feng lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, “Sir Tie Zha, I suggest that the Great Wall Company and Harley Industries cooperate to complete this customization. We can learn from each other’s strengths and make up for our weaknesses …”
“No!” Sam cried out. He immediately remembered that his master was still at the side. He hurriedly turned his head and explained to Tie Zha, “Sir, the failure rate of the Great Wall Company is too high. It belongs to the low-end manufacturing industry. We can’t cooperate with each other.”
“What if I insist?” Tie Zha asked indifferently.
“This” Sam hesitated. Before he came here, he had been told that this was a task personally arranged by the Temple Princess. Furthermore, he had made it clear that he wanted to give this distinguished guest “the same courtesy as a member of the Lombardi Clan”. This was the highest courtesy that Harley Industries had towards its customers. Even if it was a banned commodity, he had to do his best to satisfy it.
“I believe that in the process of our cooperation, Halley Industries will also gain a lot. After all, Halley Industries does not have the relevant information on Mechanical Power Armor, right?” Qin Feng slowly persuaded.
“Alright” Sam sighed and said, “Please wait a moment. I need to consult my boss.”
Tie Zha stretched out his hand and made a “please” gesture. After obtaining his consent, Sam stood up and walked to a corner of the hall. He took out the communicator and dialed the voice of the headquarters …
A moment later, Sam returned to the sofa and extended his hand to Qin Feng. “Good luck with our cooperation.” The latter hurriedly clenched his hands and repeated what the former had said. Working with the leading Harley Heavy Industries is a good opportunity to learn from each other.
Next, Tie Zha did a series of tests at Qin Feng’s request. After the latter gathered the data, Tie Zha provided Wang Hu with the means of communication, allowing them to contact him directly to collect the relevant data.
From 3pm to 3pm, Qin Feng and Sam bid farewell to Tie Zha and returned to the base for follow-up work.
After sending the two of them off, Tie Zha went out alone. As they walked across the courtyard to the door, the two guards bowed to him and greeted him, “Sir, please take your time.”
Tie Zha nodded in return. After taking a few steps, he returned and asked, “By the way, is there a car here?”
“Yes, in the garage.” The guard pointed at a gate that looked like an underground entrance and said. This was a highland where the Atlantic Mansion was built, with turf and floral roads beneath. Then, under the lead of the guards, Tie Zha arrived in front of the sluice gate. The guard stepped forward and swiped the magnetic card. The roller gate immediately let out a “beep” sound and slowly rolled up.
Walking into the underground garage, it was a rectangular underground space that was more than 200 square meters in size. At a glance, there were dozens of different types of motorcycles, sports cars, and off-road vehicles.
“Lightning Leopard, Female Tiger, Blazing Fire Eagle, Halley 5, Prince RC, Wind Bell Fire, Breaking Wind Falcon” Looking at a row of top-grade motorcycles, Tie Zha was dumbfounded. Several times, these expensive cars were his dream in the clouds. Seven or eight years ago, every car here was worth half his life. Of course, it seems to be worth it now …
Afterwards, he picked a top-grade RC locomotive, Wind Bell Fire, and jumped onto it to start the power supply. Then, he twisted the accelerator, quietly rushed out of the garage amidst the faint engine noise, and then sped along the cold lake …
An hour later, Iron Slag drove across a small country road to an old building in the suburbs. After parking the car, entering the door and greeting the old man who was guarding the door, Tie Zha got on the elevator and arrived in front of Elder Ebony’s office.
‘”Dong dong dong” Tie Zha knocked lightly on the door.
“Ah” A yawn came from inside, followed by the voice of an old man, “Please come in.”
With permission, Tie Zha pushed open the door and entered. At this time, Elder Ebony was sitting on the sofa dozing off. Seeing him come in, he hurriedly stood up and greeted him. He grabbed Tie Zha’s arm, looked at it again and again, and sighed, “Aiya, child, you’ve grown taller again. Not bad, not bad.”
Tie Zha almost rolled his eyes when he heard this casual courtesy. He knew that he hadn’t grown a millimeter since he last met her. Then, Elder Ebony poured him a cup of tea, sat down and asked, “Child, are you used to living in the academy?”
“I went to the Dark Jungle before and am now at the Tyre Stronghold in Desert Five” Afterwards, Tie Zha slowly told Elder Ebony what had happened to him during this period of time.
About half an hour later, after listening to Tie Zha’s narrative, Elder Ebony stroked his beard and said, “You’ve developed quite well, but we are still from the Temple …” The elder paused for a moment and continued, “It’s best not to get too close to other faiths …”
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded solemnly. However, he couldn’t help but take one step at a time.
“But …” Elder Ebony smiled and said meaningfully, “Young man, if you can borrow it, just borrow it. As long as you can keep your heart and know who you are, you can still remember your surname …”
“Elder, I came this time because of Bi Qinglan” Then, Tie Zha told Elder Bi Qinglan about the conflict between him and Bi Qinglan.
After hearing Tie Zha’s words, Elder Ebony shook his head and muttered, “That girl Qinglan …” It’s hard to persuade her … ”
“What’s the matter?” Tie Zha frowned and asked.
‘”Ah … she’s been stubborn since she was a child. Even ten cows won’t pull her over …” Elder Ebony thought for a moment and said, “I’ll ask the Ancient Prophet for advice later. I don’t think he’ll make things difficult for you anymore.”
“Should I?” Tie Zha grabbed the words and asked.
“Uh … should …” Elder Ebony’s face turned red as he smiled awkwardly.
“Can such a person be a Spirit Snake Holy Maiden?” Tie Zha asked.
“This …” Elder Ebony slowly said, “You don’t know anything …”
After the jihad, the Ancient Era’s bloodline was divided into three branches, twelve branches. Apart from the Battle Bear bloodline, the Spirit Snake bloodline and the Horned Rhino bloodline had chosen their own Holy Children or Holy Daughters to represent their own images. The Azure Snake Tribe was the leader of the Seven-Colored Snake Tribe. In addition, Bi Qinglan’s talent and bloodline were outstanding, so she was chosen as the Spirit Snake Holy Maiden of this generation. In the end, she was not chosen by the Ancient Temple. The Ancient Prophet was just a spiritual leader, and he did not have any real power.
At this point, Elder Ebony let out a long sigh. “The Ancient Era’s bloodline is now a pile of scattered sand. It is gradually falling. Perhaps not long from now, the ancient tradition will dissipate. The descendants are not talented, causing the ancestors to feel ashamed …” As he spoke, the elder’s tears streamed down his cheeks.
“Isn’t there any way to condense a separated heart?” Tie Zha hesitated.
“Yes!” Elder Ebony heaved a heavy sigh and said with a loud voice, “Sparks start a prairie fire, rise brilliantly, and the glory of the ancestors will return to the hearts of the people.”
I’ve caught a cold these days, so I’m writing a little slower.
