"Haha, Li Yan, have you heard? The big star Dorothy's "Lake of Giants" depicts a Chinese as the hero, and the whole San Francisco is talking about it."
Chang Yu was wearing a gray mandarin jacket with his chest open, his hair and sleeves soaked in sweat.
He wears a pair of unilateral copper glasses, holds a steam welder in his hand, and the heat in the small dormitory is untenable.
After careful observation, Chang Yu's wrist seemed to have no bones, and the steam welding flames moved flexibly among the steel, precise, smooth, and pleasing to the eye. But his elbow didn't move at all, not even the slightest tremor, it was as stable as a machine.
Under his movements, a steel bracket shaped like a human arm gradually took shape during his welding.
"Well, I heard it."
Li Yan on the other side of the workbench replied.
"I just said that there are still righteous people in San Francisco, like that Miss Dorothy. Time will tell."
Li Yan smiled, but did not answer Chang Yu's words.
He only relies on the naked eye and a manual carving knife, and he has no tools other than that. At the moment, he is grinding the rough-processed parts.
If we say that Chang Yu's welding movements are professional and skillful, it can only be achieved through training from top companies and unremitting hard work. , then Li Yan's movements seemed casual and lazy. He moved his fingers up and down nimbly, with a very small range of motion, and he didn't finish polishing the same kind of parts first, but took whatever was closest to him.
It should be known that the fine processing of parts requires much higher precision than welding. Many large factories have already started to use machine tools instead of manual processing. Li Yan's processing methods naturally looked like nonsense.
But that's not the case.
Chang Yu turned off the steam welding, picked up an octagonal nut polished by Li Yan, and put it under the magnifying glass, and saw that the texture of the part was smooth and neat, without any burrs. Even Enfield's top machine tools may not have such precision.
"It's really the hand of God."
Chang Yu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Li Yan, with this alone, you can go to work in Enfield tomorrow, and my boss will treat you like a guest of honor."
"Hahaha, forget it, this kind of work can be done with a high-precision machine. I'm not interested in being a human machine."
Li Yan put the carving knife back into the toolbox, and the various parts for assembly neatly filled the two tables.
He has "Jacques Kasuga" in his body, plus his own terrifying physical quality, so this trivial matter is naturally not a problem.
Chang Yu picked up the drawing and re-examined it. After confirming that there were no omissions, he nodded: "There are only some key structures and three balls. These must be completed in the company's large workshop. However, powerful weapon equipment I can't equip you with explosives, I hope you understand."
"It doesn't matter."
Li Yan stretched his fingers: "Is there anything else I can do to help?"
"No, just sit down and have a cup of coffee."
"good."
Li Yan sat by Chang Yu's bed and poured himself a cup of strong coffee.
"Chang, you've been very busy recently."
"Well, the company is confidential, but I was promoted, so that can be said."
"Then congratulations."
Li Yan smiled, raised his coffee cup and said seemingly unintentionally: "I heard someone say that you have a friend named Yanzi."
Chang Yu's hand stopped suddenly, and he pretended to be nonchalant: "Yes."
Li Yan took out a contract of prostitution from his sleeve, and handed it to Chang Yu: "Do me this favor, it will cost you a lot including work and money, and this will be your reward."
Chang Yu's eyes froze, and he grabbed it in his hand subconsciously. He stared at the red handprint and handwriting on it for a long time, and then looked up at Li Yan.
Chang's salary is much higher than that of most fellow coolies, but he still cannot afford to pay for the redemption of the swallows. In fact, he has already saved a lot, about one-third, and in another five or six years, he will be able to Redeem the swallow.
But that will be five or six years later. As for the cost of making a pocket-sized steam soldier, it is not even a fraction of the redemption money.
"I, thank you" Chang Yu stopped talking in the middle of his sentence, and after pondering for a while, he said, "What do you want me to do?"
Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "What you said is very important."
"Li, I regard you and Zha as good friends, but I believe that there is no free lunch in the world. We are not in China.?There is an old saying, brothers, clear accounts. "
Chang Yu stared at Li Yan seriously.
"Yes."
Li Yan drank the coffee in one gulp: "Do you know what I do?"
Chang Yu shook his head: "I only know that the leader of Hesheng respects you very much, and you also have a lot of relationship with several pagan sects in Chinatown. I also heard people say that you are Quan Chao."
"Do you believe it?"
Chang Yu shook his head: "Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I think Li you are an enlightened, wise, ambitious, capable, and knowledgeable person, not quite like Quan Luan."
"If you have ambition, stamina, and knowledge, you can't mess it up?"
"What the hell"
Chang Yu was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes changed when he saw Li Yan.
"I am ambitious, and I am ambitious to be a Jacobin in China."
Chang Yu lowered his head, quickly closed the door and window, then leaned close to Li Yan and lowered his voice: "You can't talk nonsense like this."
"I trust you won't betray me, right?"
Chang Yu seemed relieved: "Of course."
Li Yan no longer concealed: "I hope you and I leave San Francisco."
Of course Li Yan was lying to him. If Chang Yu agreed, he would return to Lantau Island in Nanyang. But in principle, as long as Chang Yu agreed to leave with Li Yan, Yan Fu would not interfere with the destination.
""
Both of them fell silent. After a long time, Chang Yu smiled wryly: "Would you like to persuade me a little more?"
"I don't want you to feel like you're on a thief's boat in the future. Regret it later."
"Even if I promise you, leave San Francisco, where can I go?"
Li Yan twirled the teacup: "I am very powerful in Nanyang. We can go there. You don't even have to go back to China. My people are stationed on several big islands in Nanyang. I guarantee that you and Yanzi can live and work in peace and contentment there."
Chang Yu's face became more and more serious: "Chang, as I said just now, we are friends, and there is no need to beat around the bush when talking between friends, right?"
"certainly."
"I'm sorry, I can't promise you, you'd better take this deed of sale back."
With that said, Chang Yu handed over the contract of sale to Li Yan.
Li Yan did not answer.
"You just said that you don't need to beat around the bush when talking between friends, so it's not too much for me to ask you a reason?"
"Not too much, but I can't give you a reason."
Chang Yu looked up and thought for a while, then said: "If someone offers you a sum of money and asks you to move, do you need a reason to refuse him?"
Li Yan's eyes inadvertently showed a gleam of light, staring at Chang Yu's spine for a while. He couldn't understand at all why this man, who looked about his age, could have such a sense of oppression like staring into the abyss.
After a long time, Li Yan said slowly: "I thought we could chat. I want to help you."
Chang Yu swallowed, and he stared at Li Yan firmly: "You are hurting me, and we are destined not to talk."
Chang Yu pointed out the window: "You have lived in that land for more than 20 years, and I have also lived in San Francisco for nearly 20 years. Everyone is about the same age. Why do you use your ideas for more than 20 years? , to frame my ideas of twenty years?"
"It's not that I don't love my people. I just hate being brutal and numb. I hate being hungry and dying around me. I don't want to face this anymore. Why should I go back? Just for that little bit of belonging Feeling? Why can¡¯t I use my knowledge to change my destiny? Why can¡¯t I stay in a richer, freer, and more open city? I have the ability to stay here.¡±
Chang Yu raised his hand tremblingly, and handed the deed to Li Yan again.
"Sorry, I can't promise you."
Li Yan stared at Chang Yu with very peaceful eyes, but Chang Yu was sweating profusely.
After a long time, Li Yan took the deed paper from him, folded it, put it in Chang Yu's pocket, stood up and patted him on the shoulder, and laughed dumbfoundedly: "It's a big deal, don't act like a resentful woman." Put on a face. I never wanted to force you, I just thought that you were not doing well, so I invited you, since you have concerns, then forget it. Let's go. "
Chang Yu looked down at the half of the deed paper in his pocket: "Are we still friends?"
"Of course, I'll come to pick up things in a few days, so don't hesitate."
"how come."
While the two were talking, Chang Yu sent Li Yan out of the door.
Li Yan walked around a corner. Cha Xiaodao hugged his shoulders and stared at him with interest.
Li Yan inserted his hands into his hair, mumbling in his mouth: "I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in a troubled world. Compared with changing the day and changing the day and rebuilding the ambition of Qingping, being wise and protecting one's life is the philosophy of the ancestors. It's normal."
Zha Xiaodao smiled and said, "Did you mess it up?"
Li Yan overlooked this vibrant city of steam from the stairs. Advertising banners of Workers¡¯ Party speeches were hung on the airships passing by. The promulgation of the new bill symbolized that most of these people¡¯s claims had come true.
