Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 31 Don't Treat Me Like a Human

"Any scientific data will have surprises. What if the temperature in the furnace was not that high that day, and I was just lucky enough to fall on the internal maintenance bracket. The coal used to explode the energy tower ran out halfway, and I survived. That's all."

Li Jianghao explained casually, and untied the holy sword, which was as black as a metal stick, from his back and put it aside.

Alexander blinked his eyes that seemed to be glowing, but said nothing.

He knew that the mayor would come to him on his own initiative. The other engineers were mediocre and had no way of repairing the energy tower.Only a genius himself can come up with this plan.Andrew must have thought of it, but that guy was too stupid and too concerned about morality to say it out loud.

Li Jianghao put his hands on his hips helplessly and said: "Now that everyone understands the situation, please think about it more. Now the camp is still facing the threat of monsters from Winter House. You are engineers, and I will protect it together with other citizens. Good camp, it won't affect your work. But accordingly, you have to design something else."

"I'm very interested. I heard Andrew mention your whimsical design. Even I can't figure out how to run that kind of engine. However, if you have other designs, I will be happy to help you and propose my Professional advice.”

Alexander bowed slightly. He was a natural communicator and could completely control the communication situation. Compared with his fellow engineers, who were indifferent to sophistication, he was completely separated.

After the engineers left, Andrew walked up to Li Jianghao and said:
"That guy is a genius, I have to admit that. However, he is also crazy and doesn't care about the damage that may be caused before technology is perfected. He has such a talent that he can control variables to avoid danger, but most people are just mediocre. Just keeping up with the pace of the predecessors is already a lot of effort. If all problems are solved in the way of Alexander, the world will be a mess."

Li Jianghao sat down sideways, and said: "Are you here to persuade me not to go to him, but to adopt his plan? You know I don't have many choices. This city has internal and external troubles. When the news of the home comes, people will fall apart. I am a sewer, and I sew up the clothes that are torn. If the clothes fall into pieces by themselves, what will the clothes I sew be the same? One piece?"

Andrew was silent, his brows were tightened again, and his forehead was terribly densely covered.

After a while, his voice sounded:

"I'll find a way to help you get a steam core. You canceled the production plan of a robot. I can make the extra steam core scrapped in some kind of accident and use it to make your engine design. If your Once the engine is built and it really works as shown on the design drawings, we have a chance to survive the extremely cold environment without repairing the energy tower.”

Li Jianghao was very interested. After all, Alexander's plan was to make Andrew resist more. He was actually willing to help him design an unfettered steam engine, and was unwilling to let him implement Alexander's plan.he asked:

"Someone has to take responsibility for an accident in the steam core. You are a harmless guy, so you must do it yourself. I don't want you to be tried by me personally and hanged on the gallows. Who should I find to help at that time? And me?"

Andrew said helplessly: "You won't judge me to death. Don't worry, it's just a small accident, or you are willing to personally approve a steam core for me for a piece of research that I can never complete. Wait until After your steam engine is built, if it is put to good use, I will become the god of technology, even surpassing your reputation. If it is a piece of scrap metal, I will hang myself by then."

Li Jianghao took a deep breath: "That's right. This project will definitely succeed, and I will make it succeed for your life. As for the credit, it's all yours. I have made people not believe in science, and those kids They are clamoring for the Chamber of Commerce to rescue them every day, and the chef in the kitchen has thought more than once about asking me to release the flames myself to avoid wasting coal every day. It’s time for you to bring people back to rational thinking.”

When Andrew heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said:
"If the kind of engine that defies the laws of physics works successfully, children will grow up to understand the principle, and they will be more irrational."

Bernard muttered a tune from his hometown, sorted out the documents, and listened to the entire conversation between the two.

"Okay, Mr. Mayor and Mr. Engineer, stop your words that I don't understand. I heard that a monster has come back from the dead in the Winter House. Have you thought about how to deal with it?"

Have you figured out how to implement our agreement?
Li Jianghao knew the implication of Bernard's words. The camp where his youngest son died was the place where living corpses cursed by the Ring of Darkness appeared. He also promised Bernard to find the truth about what happened in that camp.

"Everything is planned. When we regain the Winter Home, I will go to various places to find the source of the monster."

Li Jianghao replied to the old man, got up and left.

"Go to Alexander?" Andrew asked.

"Yes, I'm still very curious about his plan, although judging from your performance it must be very dangerous, so I want to listen even more."

Li Jianghao found Alexander in the factory. The latter was standing at the lower end of the robot assembly line, watching the robots on the production line on the last day being loaded into the steam core.

"I knew you would come to me, Mayor Richard." Alexander smiled politely, "Then I won't talk nonsense. After upgrading to the highest temperature level, as long as someone can adjust the power inside the energy tower due to high temperature and damage The gear position will be out of position, and it will be able to maintain the highest temperature level for two days. I can design the vent valve to close the power tower once a day, and reduce the temperature of the internal pressure relief valve to wear thermal clothing when the heat has not cooled down. The point where you can barely move."

Li Jianghao nodded: "Well, it's normal until now."

"But for those who enter, they need to understand the structure of the energy tower, and there is a high probability that they will die from heat stroke after coming out alive."

Alexander stated the consequences expressionlessly, keeping his eyes on Li Jianghao, waiting for his answer.

"If it were me, I could give it a try." Li Jianghao was sure that after becoming immortal, he could withstand the high temperature while wearing insulating clothing.Even if it doesn't work, he won't be afraid when the day comes that he needs to do it himself.

Ever since he was watched by Shang, he felt that some subtle changes had taken place in his soul, but he hadn't figured it out yet.He just instinctively felt that he could undertake such a plan.

"You really don't think of yourself as a human being. Based on this alone, I am willing to contribute my precious knowledge to you and serve you."

Alexander's tone became respectful and he saluted again.

This guy is so selfish, even when he salutes, he looks like he is superior.
