The eyes of everyone at the scene suddenly focused on him.
"Ahem...what can you solve? Are you going to mine instead of those aliens?" Probably because Chaoyang was dressed quite plainly, the merchant's tone towards him was obviously not as polite as to others.
There was a burst of laughter at the scene.
"Since we can build such strange structures as steam trains, why do we still think about using human power to mine?" Chaoyang looked at everyone generously, "Machines are always more powerful than people, and their efficiency is astonishingly high.
, we can work around the clock. Once such strange structures are popularized in the mines, the amount of minerals we obtain will also increase exponentially, so you don’t have to worry about not enjoying the convenience brought by the strange structures - even if we don’t catch it
If wild Tritons are used as a source of coolies, the situation will only get better, not worse!"
The woman's expression suddenly softened a lot. She nodded towards Chaoyang, and then agreed, "He makes sense! Such a machine can theoretically be built."
"It can't be that simple!" The businessman glared at Chaoyang and said with a frown, "I don't think you two have ever been to the mine. It's dark and humid inside, and the sky is full of dust. Ordinary machinery can't operate in such harsh conditions.
It is used in a special environment. Especially the gearbox, it is easy to get stuck by ore debris."
This man knows a lot... Chaoyang was a little surprised that he actually knew a little bit about mechanical devices. He didn't seem to be an ordinary businessman.
"The issues you raised are all technical issues, and they can naturally be solved through technology."
"Say it like you know-"
"Of course I know." Chaoyang said bluntly, "For example, adding a water injection device to the excavation site can effectively reduce floating dust. You must also have experience, such as sprinkling water before sweeping the floor."
The onlookers couldn't help but nodded in unison.
They don't know much about mining machinery, but they have never done house cleaning and have basically seen it.
"For another example, we can eliminate gears, change the transmission device to a hydraulic system, and use oil to drive the machine. This can solve most sealing problems."
"Hydraulic... what is that?" someone asked.
"Liquids are difficult to compress. I think everyone knows that. If you don't believe it, you can find a soft leather pot filled with water. No matter how you squeeze it, it will just spurt out from the spout." Chaoyang smiled, "Hydraulic pressure is
Using this characteristic, the force exerted on one side is completely transmitted to the other side. Of course, if the thickness of the two containers is changed, it can even produce doubled force, just like a lever..."
This example is much more difficult, and everyone is obviously a little confused.
Only the woman suddenly frowned, as if she was deep in thought.
Chaoyang did not intend to delve into technical issues, because he knew that as long as the power source problem was solved, various machines for doing rough and heavy work would sooner or later be developed.
"What's worse is that abusing aliens as hard labor will delay the arrival of new novelties. The reason is very straightforward, that is, if one thing is enough for now, why should we spend extra costs to try new things?" He raised his hand.
Hands, which usually represent openness and honesty in speeches, can effectively increase persuasion, "So what the shipping company has done is not only unhelpful, but it is harmful to the popularization of new technologies! It seems that it does not affect everyone, but in fact it does
It casts a dark cloud on everyone’s future!”
"Well... what he said seems to make sense."
"However, there is no such strange device that can replace hard labor in mining. Who knows whether it is reliable or not."
The bystanders finally stopped siding with the businessman, and some began to support the woman again, but Chaoyang obviously would not be satisfied with this. He clenched his fists with both hands and said in a sonorous and powerful tone: "But none of the above are the main reasons!"
"The main reason why we do not support shipping companies or the use of Tritonians as slaves is because everyone present is a civilized person!"
He admitted that it was a bit unconscionable to say this, but at least it did not go against his own conscience.
"What is civilization? It is always willing to lend a helping hand to the weak. Can't the wild Tritons be civilized? Of course not, some of them even live among you and me! In this case, why can't we separate a little more
With good intentions, go and save those poor people who have lost their way!"
"In the Old World, we got rid of slavery step by step, which is a symbol of civilization. Does it mean that in the New World, civilized people will return to barbarism? When I see you, I know that the answer must be no.
!”
The men and women around him couldn't help but be moved.
Chaoyang knew that victory had already gone to him, "Similarly, these blood-stained blue stones have been wrapped in lies by them. They are definitely not civilized things! When you want to keep them as souvenirs or gifts, think again.
If you think about the story behind it, you will find that there is nothing behind these stones except fraud, slavery and money. Do you think such an ugly thing can be kept around like a flower?"
"No! I reject ugly things!" Judy was the first to shout, "Praise civilization!"
Well done, you deserve to be called Yin! Chaoyang praised from the bottom of his heart.
With her taking the lead, other tourists soon joined in.
"Yes, we are all civilized people, I don't want it anymore!"
"I...me too..."
"Boss, can I return the goods?"
"Hey, you can't do this! Nothing sold will be returned! Hey, don't throw away my things!" The merchant wanted to retort, but was soon covered up by calls for returns.
This is human nature, Chaoyang thought. No matter whether these rich kids are really kind or not, when they have enough food and clothing to live, they will still be willing to spend energy to maintain their good image. To put it bluntly, it means good face. What's more,
Many people still go together with men and women. Compared with a small souvenir, leaving a good impression on the opposite sex around you is undoubtedly more important.
If you were a lower-class resident, these remarks would obviously not have such strong inciting power.
"Thank you for your support. Your speech method is very unique." At this moment, the woman with long orange hair also came over. She stretched out her hand to Chaoyang, "My name is Elize, what's yours?"
"Chao." Chaoyang stretched out his hand to hold her hand. The touch was not soft, but had clear joints and a strong sense of strength.
"A single word? I think it's a pseudonym. Are you a scholar?"
"Uh... probably not." Chaoyang tilted his head. Who is a great scholar?
"Mr. Chao, you are very humorous." Elise laughed, "You are not a scholar, but you have a deep understanding of machinery... Your experience really makes me curious."
"I prefer self-study."
Disbelief was clearly written in her eyes, but her smile remained unabated, "Moore."
The butler who was following him immediately took a step forward, took out a card with his left hand and put it in his palm. He took out a pen from his breast pocket with his right hand and started writing with a pen. Even during the writing process, he
His body also stood upright, like a taut long bow.
"Please accept it."
Soon, he finished writing and handed the card to Chaoyang.
Chaoyang took it inexplicably.
"I know a good place, which is more suitable for chatting than this place. This is an invitation. I hope you can come and get together. I want to hear about your self-study experience." Eliz waved her hand, then turned towards the person who was about to return.
The carriage goes off.
Chaoyang picked up the card and looked at it. Sure enough, there was a string of addresses written on it, as well as a time of 19:30. "What does she mean?"
"It means she likes you!" Judy shouted excitedly, "Didn't I say that in addition to promoting your own ideas, debate can also attract close friends. With this opportunity, you can enter her circle.
Be one of them!”
"Your Excellency, you don't need to use this method to elevate yourself..." Dann coughed twice.
"Oh, I'm just giving you an example!" Judy pouted, "And this kind of invitation is also good for Your Excellency, because you can spread the gospel of the Lord of Paradise through the upper circles. As for whether to go or not, that's your freedom.
.If it were anyone else, this would definitely be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Let's talk about it...after all, we will be very busy these days." Chaoyang put away the card noncommittally. He was not helping Eliz to attract her attention, but since this matter would be in the newspapers, he wanted more content.
Could be a little more beneficial to the Tritons.
Whoever lets his first pot of gold come from Haiya should treat it as a small thank you.
