Dong, dong, dong …
There was construction everywhere in the spacious area. Some of the workstations were already in good condition, and under Ke Lilong's supervision, they were ready for use.
Smoke and dust filled the air. As Hayashi River and Third Prince Munte walked through the area, the guards beside them had already activated the isolation device to prevent harmful substances from entering.
"This area will be ready for use in half a month …" Munte looked around and nodded.
He was quite experienced in construction. In fact, Third Prince Munte knew many things, and could be said to be multi-talented.
However, these talents that he was good at had never been widely publicized. Most of the praise that the outside world gave him was for promoting trade in the Northern Lands. Few people mentioned anything else.
Hayashi River glanced at this Northern royal. In this world, there were many people who were not as famous as they were, and there were a few who were not as famous as they were. Third Prince Munte was one of the latter.
He had only met Munte a few times, but he could tell that he was very talented, much more outstanding than the rumors said.
This was not a Third Prince who only knew how to preside over trade. In terms of conversation, knowledge, and other aspects, he inadvertently revealed quite extraordinary.
If it wasn't the current generation, then one, two, or three generations ago, Prince Munthe would be the strongest contender to be the next King of the North.
However, the situation of this generation made the other royal families sigh at the thought of the throne. Because, there was a Northern Princess.
Regarding the Princess of the Northern Region, there were not many rumors in the outside world. Most of the rumors said that the Princess of the Northern Region had an outstanding aptitude for martial arts, that she was the strongest among the young kings of this generation, and that she was a peerless genius who was expected to catch up to the current chief of the garrison in ten years.
As for other aspects, there were very few rumors …
Actually, no matter how talented or talented the Northern Princess was, it was not important. The position of Northern King could only be held by her.
This was because, during the first royal ceremony, the Northern Princess had pulled out the Rock Heart Sword, the symbol of the Northern King.
In the past thousand years, ever since the Northern King who had created the Northern Region passed away, no other Northern royal family had pulled out the sword of the Northern King.
It was said that this news had shocked the entire Sea-Ao Empire, and even the East and West Continents.
Even after Hayashi River's transmigration, this news was still brought up from time to time …
The owner of the Rock Heart Sword must be the King of the North!
When that generation's King of the North passed away, he left behind these words.
For thousands of years, countless people had tried to pull out the Rock Heart Sword. Even some outsiders had tried, but none had succeeded.
In other words, the position of the King of the North had been decided since more than 20 years ago, and the princes and princesses of this generation had no hope of competing.
Looking at Munthe's age at the time, he was probably less than 10 years old. Such an intelligent person should have already developed some shrewdness at the time, yet he had suffered such a blow.
Hayashi River looked at Muntle, his mind spinning with these thoughts, then said, "It won't take that long. In about a week, some of the workshops will be operational. It just so happens that I want to take advantage of the Northern King's birthday banquet to procure some Heart Origin Equipment orders from the Northern Kingdom. "
"Since Mr. Chuan is going to Royal City, let's go together. Actually, if you have any mechanical equipment orders, you can let me know. We hit it off right from the start. Mister Chuan, just say the word. There's no need to stand on ceremony. "Muntle laughed.
"Then, Your Highness, please take a look at the samples first …"
Hayashi River led the way, and the group entered a warehouse. It was filled with boxes, all of which had been transported from the Mechanical Hive in the past two days.
Opening a few of the boxes, he handed a screen to Muntle. On it were the types of mechanical equipment and their uses.
Muntle casually glanced at it, then focused his eyes and took a closer look at the screen.
After a while, his face lit up with excitement, and he opened the boxes one by one to try them out.
Buzz buzz buzz …
A spherical mechanical device rolled on the ground, automatically changing directions when it came into contact with an obstacle. Wherever it passed, the ground, walls, and even the dust in the air were all sucked in.
Looking at the clean floor, the clean walls, and the clean air of the workshop, Prince Muntle's eyes were a little dazed. He stared at the screen, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The cleaning function of these mechanical devices was not rare, and they were sold everywhere. The northern climate had always been criticized, and the cleaning machines in King's city were a hundred times more efficient than this.
However, these cleaning machines were not cheap, easily costing close to a thousand gold coins each. The cleaning machines used in King's city to fight against the icy sandstorms of the Extreme North were as tall as a building, and cost tens of millions of gold coins to build.
And yet, the cleaning machines Hayashi River was selling for only five hundred gold coins.
According to the description, the efficiency of these machines in filtering toxins was thirty percent higher than similar machines in harsh environments.
Not only this spherical cleaning machine, but there were also other mechanical devices that the northern lands urgently needed. Compared to similar products, these machines could be said to be cheap.
"Mister Chuan, do the functions of these things match the description?" Muntle asked in a low voice.
Hayashi River looked at the third prince, saying, "Your Highness Muntle should be somewhat proficient in the field of machinery. You should know the functions of these things very well."
Prince Muntle's body trembled slightly, and he waved his hand, dismissing his attendants. He wanted to speak to Hayashi River alone.
The door to the workshop was closed, and Muntle opened the boxes one by one, casually taking out the mechanical devices within and testing them one by one.
Hayashi River stood to one side, not saying anything, only watching quietly.
Of course he knew why Muntle was so excited. These machines were sold at half the price of similar products, but their performance was thirty percent higher.
If these machines were sold in the northern lands, they would have a huge impact on other products.
Of course, if Muntle sold them at a reasonable price, the profits he would gain would be incomparably shocking.
The amount of money involved would not be the ten million gold coin cheque he had given Ke Lilong, but an astronomical figure.
"This is the impact of the technological concepts of another world on this one …"
Hayashi River thought to himself. This world's civil mechanical research and related concepts were a bit outdated.
He had only taken a few machines from Earth, and used this world's mechanical technology to create such a huge impact on Muntle.
Looking at Muntle, the third prince's expression changed from doubt to disbelief, to shock, and finally to ecstasy …
"Mr Chuan. Did you make all these devices? Are they really that expensive? Are you selling them at a loss? "Muntle asked.
Hayashi River nodded, indicating that these were some mechanical designs he had thought of in his spare time. As for the price, it was definitely much higher than the cost.
In reality, the cost of these machines was not even a tenth of the marked price.
And this was under the circumstance that there was no production line. If this smelting factory was opened and the related production line was produced, the actual cost could even be reduced to one-twentieth.
Of course, Hayashi River would not divulge these secrets.
"These prices are too low, too low. Mr Chuan, you can't sell them like this, it will have a huge impact on the northern market …" Muntle shook his head, saying so.
Hayashi River shrugged, "I know it will have an impact, but that's not my concern, is it? Your Highness Muntle, I know you're in charge of these matters in the north. If you're interested, I can hand them over to you. "
Muntle was taken aback, his expression changing. A myriad of emotions surfaced in his eyes. Then, he took a deep breath, picked up his communicator, and sent out a message.
"Mr Chuan. Please wait a moment, I've invited a friend over. When he arrives, we'll discuss in detail. "Prince Muntle said softly.
Hayashi River was slightly taken aback, but he nodded.
He was actually a little surprised. Muntle's reaction was somewhat unexpected. This batch of machines was the first step in his plan to turn the north upside down.
These civilian machines, in the hands of someone like Muntle, could be used for many purposes.
Whether it was to steal a huge fortune, use it to expand one's influence, or do other things, there were many things that could be done.
Hayashi River guessed that for someone as resourceful and ambitious as Prince Muntle, if his life's goal was not to reach the throne of the north, then he would settle for the next best thing, to become the second most powerful person in the north.
Or perhaps expand his influence beyond the north.
Most of the capable, ambitious, and young people had the same goal, which was to reach a higher level.
But Lin Chuan seemed to have seen something different from the third prince's expression. Even though it was just a flash, there was no way he could hide it from his senses.
A moment later, the door to the workshop was still closed. Hayashi River suddenly felt his body tense up, but he immediately realized something and relaxed.
At this time, Prince Muntle raised his head, looking behind Hayashi River, and bowed respectfully. "Teacher, you've come."
Hayashi River turned, looking behind him. Next to a box stood a middle-aged man, quietly standing there, as if he had been there from the beginning.
This was a man with a calm expression, a square face. There was not a trace of sharpness between his brows, and he was full of peace. He wore a rock-patterned robe, and there was a quiet aura in his every movement.
This man's fingers were very long, much longer than the average person's, and were naturally suited to playing musical instruments.
However, the mental energy that Hayashi River had spread out around him could sense that this man was powerful. Even if he had not reached level eight, he was not far from it.
A quasi-level eight powerhouse!?
Hayashi River's heart skipped a beat. A string of information about the northern powerhouses flashed through his mind, including the information he had recently gathered on the few level eight powerhouses, but none of it matched.
"This is … Prince Muntle's teacher?" Hayashi River looked at Muntle, asking curiously.
As for how this middle-aged man had arrived, Hayashi River did not seem to care. The strength he had displayed was only at level two, and naturally he could not sense the middle-aged man's deliberate concealment of his aura.
Prince Muntle smiled as he stepped forward, introducing Hayashi River. "Mister Chuan, this is my teacher, a consecrator of the Northern Kingdom, Consecrator Gong."
Surnamed Gong?
Hayashi River was slightly taken aback, but he nodded in greeting. "Teacher Gong. Hello. "
"Mister Chuan is too polite. Although I am Prince Muntle's teacher, I dare not be yours. I do not have the ability."
Consecrator Gong waved his hand, pointing at the items in the boxes. "Last year, I heard of Mister Chuan's name at the Mechanical Master Gathering in the Kingdom. I did not expect you to be even more outstanding than I had heard. The machinist circle of the White Dwarf Kingdom is getting better with each generation … "
As he spoke, Consecrator Gong sized up Hayashi River, nodding repeatedly, his attitude extremely polite.
Under Consecrator Gong's gaze, Hayashi River had a completely different feeling. His body did not feel anything, but his mental energy automatically defended him.
This instinctive defense was something he had learned after witnessing the battle between the Limestone Wolf Lord and Shi Hulie that night. In some ways, it was equivalent to a technique that only a level eight powerhouse could understand.
So he really is a true level eight?
Hayashi River's heart skipped a beat. He immediately channeled the energy in his body, quickly forming a silent shield to hide his true strength.
This Consecrator Gong's true strength was probably stronger than Heng Feng from the Sword Sect. He should be half a step into level eight for some time …
Facing such a powerhouse, Hayashi River did not dare to be careless. He had to prevent exposing his own strength.
"Mister Chuan is only in his early twenties …"
At this moment, Consecrator Gong retracted his gaze and praised, "Let me formally introduce myself. I am Gong Bie Qian, a consecrator of the Northern Kingdom. At the same time, I am also from the Northern Kingdom's Gong family."
"Northern Kingdom's Gong family? A branch of the mainland's Gong family … "Hayashi River nodded, his attitude becoming more courteous.
The mainland's Gong family was not a self-proclaimed title. It was what the outside world called the Gong family. Just from this point, one could imagine how big this family was.
Disregarding the mainland's Gong family and the Northern Kingdom's Gong family, based on Hayashi River's understanding, they were second only to the Northern Kingdom's royal family and the centaur army.
Compared to the local forces established by Shi Hulie and other level eight powerhouses, the Gong family, which had only been established in the Northern Kingdom for 600 years, had a shallow foundation.
However, this branch of the Gong family was not much inferior to the Shi family.
In addition, with the support of the Gong family's other forces on the mainland, the Northern Kingdom's Gong family branch was much stronger than the family forces established by level eight powerhouses.
Just by looking at the Gong family's ability to establish roots in the Northern Kingdom 600 years ago, this was something that other forces had not been able to achieve.
As for Gong Bie Qian, this person's strength was terrifying. This showed the foundation of the Northern Kingdom's Gong family branch.
The third prince, Ment, was tied together with the Northern Kingdom's Gong family branch …
Hayashi River thought to himself, but on the surface, he was chatting with Gong Bie Qian about the mechanical devices. As for Gong Bie Qian's identity, he was only a little surprised.
Gong Bie Qian did not mind. Instead, he felt that this was normal. The reason this young mechanic was so courteous to him was because the Gong family not only had many martial arts powerhouses, but they also had many master mechanics.
For example, there was a branch disciple of the Gong family named Gong Guanyang. He was one of the top young mechanics in the Eastern Continent.
Hayashi River was courteous because the Gong family had a deep relationship with the mechanic circle …
"Your Highness Ment, you asked Gong Bie Qian to come here. Regarding the transaction of this batch of products, do you need to go through the Gong family?" Hayashi River asked.
Ment and Gong Bie Qian exchanged glances. The latter coughed lightly and said, "Mister Chuan. I am not here for the transaction of this batch of products. I am here for the matter of you going to Shi Di's place yesterday. Is it convenient for you to reveal some information to us? "
Hayashi River could not help but be surprised. He looked at the third prince, Ment, and then at Gong Bie Qian. In his heart, he laughed. In this world, unexpected surprises always happened.
