"The system is warning the host that the host's thoughts may speed up the development of this world and bring about many unforeseen events. Therefore, the host should immediately stop your thoughts and do not act on them!" The system's serious voice sounded, full of warning.
"System, do you want to sell it too?" Meg asked calmly.
"The system is not that kind of system! The system will definitely not do something that could cause chaos in the world! "The system's voice was still serious.
"Looking at the development of history, as long as the Haider steam engine is introduced, it will not take many years for another steam engine to appear due to market demand. Then, the world will enter the era of industrial revolution. Therefore, this kind of development is completely foreseeable and unstoppable. Now that I'm throwing out a blueprint, I'm just shortening the time frame. "Meg calmly refuted.
"But with the buffer of more than 20 years, the world can completely develop in other directions. Moreover, the host is using the history of Earth to set up this magical world. The system does not accept this kind of refutation!" The system responded seriously.
"System, are you stupid? If I sell it for 50,000 gold coins, then I can directly upgrade the restaurant to Lv2. In the end, all the money will end up in your pocket. I won't earn a single cent, and you're still here talking to me non-stop. Aren't you making things difficult for yourself? "Meg could not help but roll his eyes in his heart.
The system suddenly fell silent.
Meg's mouth twitched. As expected, when it came to money, the system's moral values would fall off a cliff.
"No, host, this is a false proposition. Although the 50,000 gold coins will end up in my hands in the end, the 50,000 gold coins will only end up in my hands after you spend the money. In this case, the person who spent the money is still you!" The system was silent for a minute, and its tone was a little annoyed.
"I didn't expect you to be so smart …" Meg raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"Of course …" The system's voice was a little proud, but it immediately reacted and said seriously, "Host, please do not try to question the system's intelligence!"
"I think this is the fastest way to make money at the moment. If you don't let me sell it, then I won't level up. I don't have money anyway, so I can't level up!" Meg curled his lips and said indifferently.
The system hesitated for a moment before saying, "This system can provide the host with a top-notch plan."
"Speak," Meg said calmly.
"The system can provide the host with hundreds of classic steam engine blueprints. The host is only responsible for selling the blueprints. I'll take 80% and you'll take 20%." The system's voice was tempting.
"System, are you doubting my intelligence?" Meg rolled his eyes and mocked, "Do I need you to provide me with blueprints? I have a few classic models in my head. I even remember the craftsmanship standards of the parts. Don't even think about getting a share of this. I can even draw the blueprints of internal combustion engines with my bare hands. In the future, you won't have a share in the production of cars either. Are you angry? "
"Beep beep beep …"
The system suddenly emitted a series of chaotic noises.
"Mm-hm, that's right." Meg immediately felt a lot better. He turned to Haider with a smile, and asked, "Principal Haider, what do you want to talk to me about today?"
"It's still too early to talk about how to apply this energy to production, but I'd like to consult you on how to convert this type of piston motion into other types of motion. Of course, this kind of consultation isn't free of charge. I sincerely invite you to join our team. If your suggestions can be applied to the machine, then you'll become an official member. You'll enjoy the benefits of the city lord's castle, and you'll also receive a recognized title in Chaos School. "Haider looked at Meg with a serious expression.
"It took him 25 years of research to come up with such a simple design. Wouldn't it be too hurtful for me to give him a fully formed steam engine that can be directly used?" Meg looked at Haider's sincere expression, then at the simple steam engine blueprints on the table, and was suddenly struck by the urge to draw a perfect steam engine blueprint. However, he repressed the urge in the end, and shook his head with a smile as he said, "I'm just a chef, so I can only provide some layman's advice. Also, I probably won't be able to join your team. The restaurant is quite busy, so I probably won't have time to do anything else."
At the last moment, Meg changed his mind. He decided not to hand over the steam engine blueprints so soon. Handing over the blueprints would be a one-off deal. There was no such thing as patent protection in this world. Selling something that could change the world for tens of thousands of gold coins wasn't something that a businessman would do.
This was a very valuable bargaining chip. Even though Meg respected people like Haider who were obsessed with invention and research, he wasn't naive enough to give away this bargaining chip.
A strength point was very expensive, and it would only become more and more expensive in the future. Seeing as he was going to give this world a push, he had to pay him more for his hard work.
You're the owner of the restaurant now! You're a businessman! You're an evil capitalist! Meg murmured to himself as he looked at Haider with a calm expression.
He clearly couldn't discuss business with Haider. Firstly, it would seem like a capitalist was bullying an honest scholar. Secondly, he wasn't at that level yet. If he wanted to discuss business with him, he had to discuss it with the city lord's castle and the Gray Temple. That was the best way to maximize his profits.
Once the steam engine was invented, it would provide stable and efficient kinetic energy in industry. Trains would be the easiest way to popularize it. Furthermore, it would become the most important mode of transportation and transportation. It would completely change the way people traveled.
Only entities at the level of the city lord's castle and the Gray Temple would be able to popularize such a massive project. After all, Chaos City had a good relationship with all races. Perhaps a railway network with Chaos City as the center would be able to spread across the entire Norland Continent in the future.
Of course, if there really came a day when they would make a deal, Meg wouldn't mind including Haider and the others. Researchers should enjoy the honor and reputation that they deserved. The city lord's castle and Chaos School would definitely reward them handsomely.
"I see." Haider was slightly disappointed. However, he quickly turned to Meg with anticipation in his eyes, and asked, "Then what do you think, Mr. Mak?"
