"How long will it take?" Kasia looked away from the dusty white vapor and at Sotagan.

"The preliminary estimate is about three days, and the final result will not be obtained until all five ultra-vapor compression units have reached the limit of operation, and can be obtained through a series of program calculations in the differential machine. Sotagan wasn't sure, he had the same knowledge in his head as Kasia, and he could only know the basics of the compression device. As for how to subdivide his operation process, their current knowledge reserve is very long behind those scientific researchers.

"When the five machines are fully preheated and run-in, and the pressure value in the high-pressure tank has reached the set value, the main valve of the red copper pipe is loosened and they are run at full capacity. In addition, we should always pay attention to the amount of steam in the main test area, and if the degree of escape cannot be suppressed, the amount of cold water injected should be increased, and it must not be allowed to rush out of the cover of the iron shed of the factory. ”

The technical engineers on the side responded. At the moment, they are all gathered around the inspection machine, carefully recording the actual data on it. The punch machine spits out a large number of punch cards, as well as the data ripple drawings on the side, which are also being turned out by the printer one by one.

It's hard to get such a thing, if it weren't for the special time period like the empire's now, there would be no chance at all in other periods. Of course, they had to be squeezed as much as possible, and all kinds of data that could be recorded and collected, Sotagan had already let his technical engineers start sorting it out.

"Hopefully those mechanics will bring me good luck. Sotagan sat down expectantly, and Berta and Yeterin walked over.

"It's not over yet, there's still a lot of excitement in the back. Ye Jielin squinted her eyes and looked at the test area, trying to see something from it, but she could only hear the sound of air flow disorder caused by the rapid rotation of the steam flow and the rapid rotation of the spindle steam wheel, "The service life should be more than half, right? Or only such a super vapor compression device will not be recycled by the group of people in the empire." Most of the use value has been lost, and the sound of the sound has become less pure. ”

Sotagan shook his head as if sighing for something.

"Webley Arms' small super-vapor compression unit should be different from the Empire's standard product, right? I think there are two different ideas in the design except for the main turbine axle. ”

"It's different, at least in terms of general appearance. Webley is a little larger, and the shape is more of an irregular cylinder. I haven't seen the internal structure, and there aren't many people who know the specific design inside the family. It is also one of the confidential matters, just like the manufacturing process of the blue and silver bullets. Ye Jielin replied lightly, Webley Arms Company's products are just like his name, including various weapons and ammunition, and they also develop and sell battle armor. It's just that the objects are all limited ones. There are also airships, and Webley Arms also has a wide range of products.

The only difference between the two and the multitude of products of the empire is the mode of production.

The Imperial War Department has complete manufacturing facilities for all types of war machines, from the design and manufacture of parts to the final assembly, all of which are undertaken by their own factories and research facilities, without the premise of increasing production volumes, without the help of any external forces. Webley Arms is different.

Taking the airship as an example, the specific design is done by the company, but the manufacturing and processing of the parts are mostly handed over to the subordinate manufacturers. The main components, such as the main steam furnace, were to be purchased from the Trinity, the communications facilities were designed and manufactured by the Infinite Communications Company, and the thick armor was given to the Imperial Minerals Company. The most important core, the computational analysis machine, is divided into two parts. The main body of the higher-level analyzer can only be provided by the empire alone. Most of the control programs in the analysis machine are designed and compiled by Golden Bank.

As the largest bank of the Empire, stability and secrecy, apart from Avalon and the Imperial Military Department, the Golden Bank will always come first.

"And don't think about the ultra-vapor compression device in the Webley Arms Company, that kind of finished product is not such a product with a sharp reduction in life and performance, and it is impossible for it to flow into your hands. Yeterine knew the hidden meaning of Sotagan's words.

"That's a pity. There was no look of regret on his face, which Sotagan himself classified as tired.

"How often does it take to start planning in the evening?" Cassia led the group to another topic.

"Let's start when it gets dark, I've contacted most of my team and I've got them ready to get here when it gets dark. The rest of the people scattered throughout the city, trying to rediscover the traces of Ovilla. Yeterin looked at Kasia and said, "If only the fat man could be contacted." In the end, I didn't forget to sigh that among the four people, Atohuan is mainly responsible for intelligence, born in the infinite communication company, and he seems to have a different talent for the collection and processing of intelligence information.

In the end, the division of labor was clarified again, and Sotagan used as a bait to take a dozen armed men to conduct a simulated arms deal at night. Kasia followed them, acting as a second layer of protection, trying to find clues to Ovilla. Berta and Jetlin stayed in the factory, responsible for the timely flow of information on the one hand, and on the other hand, responding to emergencies and mobilizing manpower at any time.

There was still some time left in the evening, and everyone except for the technical engineers was taking a simple rest.

"Lord Ovilla, Lord Frito, I just received the signal. A man with thin-rimmed glasses jumped up to the second floor in a few steps and said to the two people waiting, "The specific location is still in time to deal with the comparison, and it will take about half an hour or so to have a clear result." ”

"Tell the others to get ready, and as soon as the specific location comes out, go immediately. Ovilla subconsciously glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and at half past four in the afternoon, "Mr. Frito, I'm going to trouble you to help me for a while." ”

"It's just helping yourself in disguise. Frito shook his head, apologetic, "Please double-check the weapons specially prepared for this operation." Sotagan has a lot of surgeons around him, and he himself is a second-stage operation, and if the dose is not enough, it may cause the opposite effect of this operation. ”

"This kind of mistake doesn't happen to me. 'Ovilla has the confidence to match himself. Outside the window beside her, the sun began to lose its temperature, ready to fall into the distant horizon. The giant tower of steam emitting a huge shadow slanted down the buildings on the mountain, itself like a pointer, and this moment of the day is a sign that night is coming.

Half an hour later, to the sound of the limousines starting, several limousines drove onto the road from a neighborhood of residences, and then each chose its own direction and drove to the other side of the steam tower.
