Chapter 472 The Dilemma of the Empire(2/2)
…
The two men Belica was following were the one in yellow clothes named Yazdan and the other a long-eared rabbit named Baiding.
Both of these two people came from Shacheng, Yao State, and were news collectors at the Di Newspaper Office.
The job of the news collector is to visit everywhere and send the collected events to the newspaper office, and then publish them in the form of newspapers so that more people can see them.
Yazdan feels cold and inaccessible, like some kind of humanoid stone.
Bai Ding, the rabbit man, is friendly and talkative.
They have a special powder called Xingnao Mint that can easily eliminate language barriers.
"Mr. Belica is from an ethnic minority, but he can serve as a technical officer in the Imperial Invention Department. It is really amazing."
Bai Ding smiled and said: "What kind of invention are you engaged in?"
"The things I make are relatively unpopular, and I tend to focus on door locks."
Belica replied.
As an experienced thief, dealing with various door locks is a must-have basic skill.
"Then I don't know which lock is safer? I've heard of iron locks and wooden locks, but I don't quite understand the difference."
"It depends on the usage environment."
Belica gestured: "If it's a door lock, it can be made of wood, stone, or metal, as long as it prevents people from opening it. The key is to make people retreat. If you really want to break in at all costs, unless you
The iron door of the stone chamber would otherwise be knocked open by external forces."
"If it is a lock used to store containers, or a lock used to lock people or objects, it needs to be strong and sophisticated. At present, yellow locks are still the best to use."
"This is also a technology with a long history. Several or more than a dozen yellow pieces are used to form a specific shape inside the iron lock or copper lock, which can only be opened by a specific key."
"However, the lock is a man-made thing after all. As long as you meet someone who understands the principle, it will always be opened. This kind of tool focuses on short-term locking and design ideas."
"Amazing! Mr. Belica is really an inventor with deep research!"
Bai Ding looked impressed.
A faint smile appeared on Belica's lips.
In the popular industry where competition is fierce, getting ahead is just a basic course.
"In addition, I also have experience in knife polishing, small hook locks and iron and copper wire making. These tools are planted in a delicate..."
"Really? I heard that the Yao people's research on copper wires and iron wires is still at a bottleneck. Do you really know such a technology?"
"Of course, although the copper and iron drawing technology is a bit complicated to operate, it is actually not difficult."
…
Both parties were in lively communication along the way.
The collectors had a wide range of knowledge, and Belica also benefited a lot from it and obtained a lot of information that he had never had before.
After arriving at the imperial capital of the Twin Snakes Empire, Bai Ding suddenly said: "Mr. Belica, I can confirm that you are the talented scholar that the Yao people dream of. Are you willing to become a scholar in the Yao Kingdom or the Resurrection Kingdom?"
"..."
This is outrageous.
Belica sternly refused: "I am a technical officer in the Empire's Invention Department and I serve the Empire."
The main reason is that he is not a scholar and his background is not clean. In the past, he was found to have stolen technology from the Yao people and was finished.
"Then would you like to be our special interviewer?"
Bai Ding still refused to give up: "Becoming a news collector, you can open a column in the "Shachengdi Newspaper" to talk about the situation in the empire, and also explain your non-confidential skills and experiences in lock picking or related aspects."
"Every issue of Di Bao is watched by 100,000 people. A top scholar like you really shouldn't be so unknown."
"Isn't this not good?"
"Of course, we will pay you the highest standard for every issue of your article!"
Bai Ding came to Yazdan and quoted an irresistible price.
Belica immediately said: "Since you are so enthusiastic, then I will reluctantly write it. If the writing is not good, please don't dislike it."
Write an article and the newspaper office will give you a box of heart-saving pills.
According to the market price of Jiuxin Pills in the empire, if you sell just one pill, you can exchange it for a clockwork motorcycle! There are three pills in a box! These are all hard currency.
The Yao people are indeed rich and wealthy, much better than the two-snake empire.
Belica's mood was a little complicated.
