Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 50 Mechanical Gloves

After returning from the black market, life returned to normal.

With the money, Su Lun can also fiddle with some of the equipment he needs.

There are a few inconspicuous machine shops near Green Street, which are the favorite places for the Crusaders to modify motorcycles.

The owner of the "Big Beard Mechanical Modification Shop" is Wright.

He is skilled in craftsmanship, and he is also an "intermediate mechanic" certified by the Mechanics Union. He is good at modifying steam locomotives and muskets, and is well-known in the mechanical modification circle.

Two hours before work time, Su Lun came to the machinery shop, looked at the beard covered in oil, and greeted with a smile: "Hey, Layson, has the item I wanted arrived?"

"Brother Su Lun, the material requirements you want are too harsh."

The bearded Wright saw that it was Su Lun who came, and muttered.

He put down the steam Harley shock absorber he was tinkering with, picked up a black rag and wiped his hands, then suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "However, this won't bother me, Wright."

As he said that, he took out a coil from the room, and introduced in a showy tone: "This is the 'Hai Rui Ⅶ alloy wire' produced by Gerson Ordnance. I found the thinnest alloy wire with the best toughness. It is the top material that comes out of the real inner city military industry channel. It is too expensive, it costs 300 lisos per foot. I got you 300 feet, and it’s all here. .”

These bosses of the machinery shop have their own fixed supply channels. As long as you can afford the money, the material merchants who supply them can always find satisfactory materials.

Even if it is contraband and controlled products in the inner city.

"Oh, I am very satisfied with this material!"

Su Lun smiled kindly as he looked at the roll of alloy wire that was slightly thicker than hair.

As Wright said, this is already the best material that can be found on the market and meets his requirements.

No matter how good the performance is, it can only be some cursed materials.

However, not all silk threads can be used to manipulate puppets. Su Lun also felt that this silk thread was enough for the time being, and said, "Thank you very much. This is one hundred thousand lisos. I have been lucky in gambling recently and won a lot."

Everyone knew that Su Lun was a gambler, and would stay in the arena and gamble until dawn every night.

The record of winning more than 2 million yuan with Qianjo Ichinight has spread all over the places on Green Street, and it has become the topic of conversation after dinner.

Su Lun also felt that it was just what he wanted, and it was reasonable for the casino to get rich, which could also explain his source of funds.

Without hesitation, he took out a bunch of banknotes, took the coil, and said, "Wright, I still need to use your workshop."

Wright shrugged, as if he was familiar with this request, and said, "Use it whatever you want. If you need help, just ask."

Su Lun has been here many times, and walked into the workshop in the shop familiarly.

There are two operating rooms in the shop, and one room is a modification room for steam locomotives. There are piles of old parts disassembled from various channels, and the air is always filled with a strong smell of rust.

The other room is a musket remodeling room. The wall is like an arsenal, filled with various types of firearms.

Spray guns, pistols, submachine guns, sniper rifles.

Because of the existence of alchemy in this world, the properties of materials can be magically changed in many directions, which also leads to the strangeness of firearms in this world. Various magic-modified machine guns with exaggerated bullet capacity, steam-powered super-pressure air guns, super-large-caliber enchanted pistols, and gunpowder hammers that can be used as melee weapons.

Although there were no "famous guns" in the shop, the modified firearms produced here also provided enough firepower support for the Crusaders.

Su Lun walked in, took out some tools familiarly, and began to fiddle with the roll of "Hai Rui Type VII Alloy Wire" that he had just obtained.

In the past few days, he spent some time designing a pair of semi-mechanical leather gloves like "Sleeve Arrows" for himself, in order to be able to use the steel wire that controls the puppet more flexibly.

After the battle of Tongzilou last time, he killed many members of the Steam Party, and also stripped away many fragments of mechanical technology, turning his mechanical knowledge into [Introduction to Advanced Machinery].

It is easy to design such simple mechanical equipment.

Su Lun took out the leather gloves that he had mostly finished, and then put on the magnifying glass and goggles.

Although this mechanical glove looks simple, in order to meet the needs, it also has brass gears and springs as dense as the core of a watch.

The core components of the mechanical glove are "H-33 Spring Adapter" and "B15 Clockwork Power Modulation System". It is fired with the same precision as a catapult.

This kind of thing is a high-precision mechanical part that can't be completed by small workshops in the outer city. Su Lun's current mechanical knowledge can only allow him to use it flexibly, not to create inventions.

Not long after, Su Lun adjusted the parts of the mechanical glove, and then wrapped the coil of silk thread in the metal storage compartment of the forearm.

He squeezed his fingers, and the semi-mechanical gloves did not prevent him from shooting.

After trying the launching device, the alloy wire would pop out smoothly from the launch port on the back of his hand, and his fingers could also deftly control the wire, which could assist in displacement and was also very suitable for controlling puppets.

The cuffs were pulled down, just blocking those mechanical devices, and it was not too conspicuous.

Su Lun is quite satisfied with his handicraft, and probably needs a few fine-tuning before it can be used in actual combat.

Not long after, Su Lun left the bearded machine modification shop, and then went to the "Three Guns Tavern".

It's not the time for the tavern to open yet, and the bartender at the bar is wiping the glasses boredly.

Su Lun walked over and asked, "Hey, buddy, is there a letter from 'Dove' today?"

He had already heard the news of "no" again, but he didn't want the bartender to look at the notepad and give a different answer: "Yes."

"Huh?"

Su Lun walked over with a smile, and got the sticky note cut out from the newspaper.

It was already the third day since the meeting at the black market, and he finally received a message from the mysterious stall owner.

The note read: "At five o'clock in the afternoon on the 12th, put 10,000 lisos in a leather bag and put it under the mailbox in front of Bellman's Bakery at 14 Ginkgo Street. Sorry sir, I need to see where you bought the potion Sincerity, so you need to pay some deposit in advance. If you don’t see this message in time, I will wait until the 13th. But if you don’t pay the deposit as agreed, I will reject this transaction.”

"Oh, quite cautious."

Su Lun looked at the sticky note in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The language in the letter was expected to be polite, as he guessed, the stall owner had a good tutor and was young.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't trust anyone he met in the black market, so the suggestion to pay a "deposit" is also reasonable.

Of course, the most important thing is that now that Su Lun has money, it is not necessary to pay the deposit first.

He is also sure that the money will not be wasted.

Intuition told him that the mysterious stall owner would bring him more surprises.

Looking at the time, it was twenty minutes before five o'clock, which was enough time for him to go to Ginkgo Avenue five blocks away.

Su Lun gave the bartender two hundred lisos as a tip for passing on the news.

Then he took a cowhide bag, stuffed a stack of banknotes into it, folded it, put it in the inner breast pocket of the windbreaker, and walked out of the tavern.

Green Street is the site of the Cross Society, and Su Lun is already familiar with it.

With a casual wave, he borrowed a steam motorcycle from the street.

Two minutes later, he arrived at an alley near Ginkgo Street.

He parked the car and lowered the brim of his hat to hide his face.

Su Lun looked at the time, there were still three minutes to five o'clock.

He counted the time and walked out of the alley, mixed into the crowd, and walked all the way to Ginkgo Avenue.

Shop No. 14 is Bellman Bakery, and there is a green mailbox at the door.

When Su Lun got there, it was exactly five o'clock.

Without looking left and right, he directly stuffed the oil paper bag containing the money into the gap between the mailbox and the wall.

Then he walked forward without looking back. This kind of transaction is very common in gangsters.

Of course, Su Lun was also a little curious about who would get the money.

Thinking that the area around here is the site of the Cross Society, maybe they still know each other.

By the time he turned the corner, he had gone far enough. At this time, from the corner of the eye, I happened to see a half-sized boy quickly take out the oil paper bag behind the mailbox, quickly blend into the crowd and disappear.

The joint technique is very sophisticated, like a professional thief.

"Hey, it looks like a kid from the Tongzilou."

Su Lun glanced at it, but didn't think much about it.

Turned around to find the locomotive in the alley, then returned to Green Street.

After paying the deposit, the next step is to wait for the next news.

At that time, the mysterious person will probably bring the potion to trade.

The first two chapters are too clichéd, there are major changes, you can refresh and take a look.
