The smell of disinfectant wafted through the air in a clean room. The servants kept bringing out plates of dirty, blood-stained water and replacing it with clean water. It took a doctor from Sur an entire hour to treat Caesar's wounds. However, Caesar's injuries were still not optimistic. The reason was that he did not deal with them properly after his injuries and delayed them for a long time, causing the skin near the wounds to become infected.
The doctor treated his necrotic muscles and gave him antibiotics. But whether he could survive or not, he had to survive tonight. However, Caesar's physique was very good, and the Origin Energy in his body had yet to disappear. Although they were consumed in the fight against the virus, they were still tenaciously protecting the important organs and tissues in Caesar's body. This made the doctor relatively optimistic about Caesar's condition. After Allen sent the doctor away, he asked Father Miro to take care of Caesar.
Allen didn't think about Caesar for the time being. As long as he woke up, he would naturally know the reason. As some daily necessities were delivered one after another, the room gradually gained the aura of life. Allen stood in front of the window and watched Lucy and Vera leave together to visit the market in Sur City. Adele, on the other hand, directed the soldiers to bring things into the room.
He smiled slightly. Everyone had already begun to integrate into the world of this planet. As long as Sur City was under control, it would be difficult for anyone to dig out their identities. After that, it was expansion and accumulation of strength. Only when one's strength was strong enough would they have more resources and manpower to achieve the goal of re-establishing contact with Earth. Looking at the afterglow of the setting sun that dyed the city golden, Allen was confident that he could do all of this.
Before the sun completely set, Edward returned. He changed his clothes, which were for the dinner party. At the same time, he also brought back a suit that fit Allen. After Allen changed into it, he sat in the carriage assigned by Baron Ethan and passed through the bustling streets to the City Lord's Mansion.
In the large dining hall of the City Lord's Mansion, only the area near the dining area was lit up. The wall lamps on both sides and the candlesticks hanging vertically from the ceiling gilded the food on the table with a golden color. However, there was obviously not much food on the table, and it could even be described as simple. There was no problem with it as a regular meal, but it seemed a little stingy to use it to entertain guests.
A minute after Allen and the others arrived, Ethan did not hurry over. At first, he was discussing with the secretaries and assigning some tasks to them. It wasn't until he saw Allen that he waved his hand for the secretaries to leave. Then, he sat on the main seat and said, "I'm very sorry, both of you. Now I know that the City Lord has a lot of work to do. There are too many things to deal with, so sorry to keep you waiting. "
"It doesn't matter. The busier the baron is, the happier the citizens of this city are. As a resident of Sur City, I am sincerely honored. " Allen smiled. His every movement was in accordance with etiquette. Even if measured by the strictest set of aristocratic etiquette, he could definitely be said to be impeccable.
One had to know that he had not taken the series of noble etiquette courses in Babylon for nothing.
Ethan's entire person was like a different person from before, and his thin face looked as if it would shine with light. He laughed and said, "Young Master Allen is much younger than I thought."
Allen smiled and said, "Many people say that, including some of my enemies. But in the end, they all regretted underestimating me because of their youth. "
Ethan nodded, "Young Master Allen is indeed extraordinary."
"Look, I'm a little tight on time. I have to take care of some matters later, so let's talk while we eat. Oh, because I advocate thrift, the dishes in the kitchen tonight are a little simple. Young Master Allen, see if it suits your appetite. Otherwise, I'll have the chef make some more? "
"No need, this is good." Allen elegantly cut off a small piece of bread with his knife and put it in his mouth to chew. He always had a smile on his face, making people feel like they were drenched in the spring breeze.
"I'm a pragmatic person, so I won't say anything unnecessary." Ethan said as he wiped out the food in front of him, "There are two main things I invite you to dinner tonight. First of all, according to our contract, my daughter Nero needs to marry Young Master Allen. I will never go back on my word on this point, so I want to see when Young Master Allen will take care of this marriage? "
Before coming here, Edward had reminded him that Ethan should discuss the marriage with him and Nero. Allen had already made up his mind, and when he saw Ethan say it directly, he said, "That's what I'm going to do about it."
He looked at Edward and said, "I'm sure the baron is no stranger to this gentleman. Yes, Mr. Edward is my most capable assistant. And he has mentioned to me more than once his intense love for Nero. If the baron has no objection, I want to facilitate a good relationship between the two of them. "
Ethan looked at Edward in surprise. Originally, it was best to control Nero in his hands in a political marriage like this. However, Allen had let Edward replace him. From beginning to end, Ethan had only treated Edward as Allen's agent. However, Allen's words tonight made him think even more highly of Edward. He nodded and said, "There is a clause in the contract that you can choose your marriage partner. If this is Young Master Allen's decision … of course."
Edward stood up and bowed to Ethan, "I will treat Nero well."
So it was settled, and the wedding was decided on the last Sunday of this month.
"Then the second thing is the position of chairman of the Chamber of Commerce." Ethan said calmly, "It's not difficult to recommend Young Master Allen as chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. It's just that it's hard to avoid it. After all, Young Master Allen is unfamiliar to many people. Rashly sitting in this position might attract criticism. So do you think it would be more appropriate for me to announce this decision after Young Master Allen has made some achievements? "
"Please don't worry about that, Sir Ethan." Edward said, "We will give the baron a proper opportunity very soon."
Ethan looked at Allen and smiled, "Then I'll wait and see."
The next day, Edward asked Ethan for some blacksmiths in the city. So all the blacksmiths in Sur gathered in Allen's room. Each of them was given a blueprint of a metal component they had never seen before. Each drawing was marked with detailed dimensions and detailed requirements. Allen gave them a week. If they completed it within the time limit, they would receive an extra reward.
This greatly stimulated the blacksmiths to move. Although they did not know what these things were used for, everyone still used the fastest speed to turn the things on the blueprints into real objects. From Friday onwards, six of the finished products were delivered to Allen. On Sunday night, after the last component was delivered, Lucy began to install them.
Vera was at the side, drawing something else on the paper with a brush. It was a machine. Strictly speaking, it was an automatic loom. As for the one that Lucy was installing, it was a simple semi-automatic machine. These were all created by Vera. Allen stood behind her and looked at the automatic loom on the blueprint. He couldn't help but sigh, "It's a good thing that you know the blueprints of these things. Otherwise, I really don't know how to reform the handicraft industry in Sur City."
"When I was reading about human industrial history, I flipped through some information and wrote it down." Vera said casually.
Allen couldn't help but ask, "You haven't read the history of war, have you?"
Vera raised her head and said calmly, "I've never seen the design of a chariot."
Allen laughed dryly, and Lucy clapped her hands and said, "It's done."
That night, the world's first semi-automatic textile machine was quietly born in Sur City, a small border town. It also needed manual operation, and it also needed constant practice and adjustment. However, its appearance meant that the textile industry in Sur City had officially moved from manual to mechanized.
Over the next few days, several textile workshop owners, including Sean, secretly visited the machine and saw with their own eyes how it replaced the backward hand to weave cotton thread into cloth. Although the cloth produced was not meticulous and compact enough, and the patterns were limited, its efficiency was far from comparable to that of manual labor. It could be imagined that when this machine was perfected, it would bring about a revolution in the textile industry.
In fact, its influence would also spread to other fields. After all, it allowed people to see the productivity of machinery that was far beyond that of human labor.
After these workshop owners left, they used their respective connections to find the blacksmith who had made the components for Allen and the others that day. Unfortunately, although these blacksmiths had blueprints in their hands, even if someone collected all the components, they didn't know how to install them. Thus, in this era where there was no concept of patents, Allen told them what trade secrets were.
Very quickly, Allen introduced the semi-automatic textile machine to the public and invited Sir Ethan to name it. Ethan called it "Crosses", a local legend of a god famous for weaving gorgeous clothes in the Heavenly Realm.
This month was destined to be the month of turmoil in Sur City, and it was also the season of harvest.
After the appearance of the Crosses textile machine, the mysterious businessman Allen generously offered the machine to the local workshop for free and was willing to publish its details, thus helping Sur City to fully embark on the stage of mechanized production. When he made this important decision, the young merchant said, "Now, I will share the family's secrets and painstaking efforts with everyone. The purpose is to make life better for everyone in Sur City. It can be imagined that in the near future, Sur City's textiles will be famous throughout the empire. At that time, other people will come here and they will desperately dig out our secrets. "Once someone else grasps Crosses, it will not be so easy for everyone to earn money."
"For our sake, please keep the secret of Crosses."
On this day, all the cotton textile workers in the city signed their names on the treaty called Crosses, willing to keep the secret of the textile machine for the sake of Sur City and their own interests. The first name in the signatories of the treaty was Allen. This name represented the first mark he had left in this world! R1O58 Edge of Doom
