The schedule is always contrary to the normal laws of the Empire, and the reason why the dark world has such a name may be for this reason. The vast majority of transactions are carried out at night, and during the day it is just production and transportation, as well as necessary rest. The protection and concealment provided by the night is very much in keeping with the nature of these transactions.

Sotagan and his group left the factory in a heavy truck used to transport steel. He came here much earlier than Jetrin, and made preparations for the goods in advance. After the cargo box of the heavy truck was handed over to a large repair shop for modification, in addition to the bracket of the whole vehicle, other places were specially strengthened. The cargo box was completely encapsulated, and several small movable doors were opened on the sides, about the size of an adult's face, for the protective shooting of armed men. The cargo door was also firmly welded to one side, leaving only one side for loading and unloading the cargo, namely the five small supervapor compression units.

The cargo box has been heavily fortified with sufficient capacity for time, and the inside is precision-welded with black iron steel plates, which is enough to defend against most of the attacks of competitors in the current dark world. There is also an additional skylight at the top, which is usually closed, but when it happens, it is driven by a hydraulic unit driven by the engine of a heavy truck, where the steel fortress for two people can be raised and lowered in a matter of seconds. Below is the attached cartridge box, which allows the two rapid-fire machine guns to continuously deliver powerful fire.

The delivery of goods was at a station, and the well-developed railways in this industrial city limited the development of roads, so there was really not much place for large vehicles such as heavy trucks.

"What do you think are the chances that all five compressors will be repaired?" said Sotagan, who was in the back seat of the heavy truck, and Berta sat next to him as a matter of course. The driver's seat in front is spacious, and the two drivers are one to drive and the other is responsible for observing the road conditions. Under the plural headlights, the night within a radius of tens of meters around was dispersed, and the condensed beam of light also pierced the blurred picture 100 meters away from the road, enveloping everything in the light clearly. There was an armed man sitting next to the driver with a gun, ready to shoot at any time, and the scenery he observed in his eyes was naturally much wider than that of the two drivers.

The three of them didn't seem to hear the words of Sotagan behind them, they just silently did what they were doing, which is also the rule in the dark world.

"It should all be fixed. Berta thought for a moment and replied, "Two of them are due to load, and the precision parts in the control valve are worn out too much. But the mechanic imitates an identical part according to the shape, and this strength is there. Otherwise, he wouldn't be worthy of being called a mechanic. Self-lubricating high-grade materials are also available, and even if there are no differential machines and multi-shaft processing tables, there are so many large factories here that there is absolutely no problem in spending money to borrow them for a while. Only the remaining three, one of which was connected to the steam transfer line, was completely destroyed. The material and length of the pipeline are strictly regulated, which will almost affect the performance, and the problems caused by the lack of matching and quality in the later stage will affect other parts one after another, and I don't know if it can be restored. The other two were left to the mechanic's skill, and the cables and shafts of the control system were melted, and some of the sensors were lost by the time we got them. Fortunately, the models of the five units are the same, and they can be repaired by comparing them with each other. ”

"I hope so. Sotagan looked at Berta and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" said Berta with an inexplicable feeling.

"When you say that, no one would have thought that you would be a doctor by profession. You've learned a lot in a few years. ”

Berta didn't reply.

"Even if it is repaired, it will definitely not be as good as the quality and standards of the Empire, and I just hope that after the repair, the steam leakage will not be too serious, otherwise the buyers will definitely find a way to lower our price." The risks are high, but the rewards are also considerable. Sotagan is still worried about his own things, and this is also an opportunity for him to expand his business in other countries. If the empire wants to develop its own power or business, the seven giant companies and other big families are a high wall that no one can cross.

By the time we arrived at the station, several super-vapor compression units had been packaged and placed in the warehouse. A dozen or so men with firearms stood by, and when they saw Sotagan's heavy truck drive in, a capable young man greeted him with a smile as an agent of several mechanics.

After a few words, Sotagan's men moved five compressors onto the heavy truck.

"The second money will be given to you after the actual test. After the truck was activated, Berta said, "It will be about three days later." As for the final payment, it will take more than half a month for the item to reach the buyer, complete the actual test, and meet the conditions of the transaction between us before it can be given to you. ”

"Just follow the terms that were agreed upon. The agent had a standard service smile on his face, "Looking forward to working with you in the future." When they got into the car, the young agent was talking goodbye to Sotagan and the two by the window.

Everything with the delivery of the goods was as Sotagan had expected, and there was no danger. The heavy truck drove out of the station, the route was changed from the beginning, and instead of driving directly to the factory, it made a few detours in the city, passing through several stations on the way, and several machines were put down one by one, and sent to the city transfer route in the station, and finally arrived at their own factory by railway.

"Isn't it too careful?" asked Sotagan suddenly.

Berta shook her head, "No. ”

、、、、、、

The "whoosh" crashed as the rolling doors were pulled down, and the lights leaking into the warehouse quickly diminished, and finally fell into the cold darkness.

The young man was waiting alone at the entrance of the station, and the few people who protected him had already driven away.

The city is cold at night, probably because a large amount of steam condenses into a mist. For about ten minutes, the young man rubbed his hands together and looked his head in the direction of the railway line in front of him that was hidden around the corner of the building, before a solid beam of light appeared in the darkness.

Two minutes later, the young man walked into the carriage, and there were a few people inside, as if they had just finished their work and went home. Before the train restarted, he hurried to the end of the car, where there was only one man, wearing a cold-proof cotton hat, reading the newspaper in his hand, and a small suitcase at his feet.

"It's been done as you asked. The young man said.

"Thank you so much for your help, it's your stuff. The man put down the newspaper, looked at the young man's face, left his suitcase before the train door closed, and stepped onto the platform.

The train started on time and headed for the giant steam discharge tower.
