Chapter 567 Strait Blasting Project
Sensing that Heimerdinger was a little absent-minded, Lester stopped: “The science and technology exhibition is in the east courtyard, with the dormitory building to the north, the teaching building to the southeast, and the exhibition hall to the west. Now I need to go to the exhibition hall to participate in a discussion meeting. , do you want to go with me?”
Heimerdinger shook his head and looked up in the direction of the East Court.
“Lest, I want to go to the East Court to see a science and technology exhibition. Compared with those meaningless meetings, I prefer a little bit of reality.”
The man shrugged. He was not prepared to keep Heimerdinger forcibly. In terms of the temperament of a yordle, if Heimerdinger could not be willing to choose the emerald collar, no matter how much he showed his favor, it would be useless. meaningless things.
As for forcibly kidnapping Heimerdinger to the Emerald Collar and letting Heimerdinger live the life of Durang, the master of sculpting, such an option has never appeared here in Lester.
Durand and Yodel are not the same species at all, and naturally they cannot be compared.
“Well, I believe Teemo will take good care of you. Teemo is the most outstanding scout in Bandle City. He knows how to do things in human society, as long as you don’t walk out of the gate of the academy. If you encounter an identity check. You guys, just say the name of the jade collar, if it really doesn’t work, you come to the exhibition hall to find me, I think I will spend the day there.”
“Thank you, Lester, you’re as reliable as they say at the crossroads… Come on Teemo, I can’t wait to see what these proud Zauns are up to!”
Watching the helpless Teemo being taken away by Heimerdinger, Lester turned around and walked west.
The exhibition hall is located in a flat building. Through some optical refraction principle, the topographic map of the Zaun Strait in the main position is placed on the huge meeting curtain. In Leicester, you can see that there are more than 50 figures with numbers. The marked marks are distributed in different positions. On the whole, the marks cover both sides of the Taiwan Strait. There are already many bidders whispering in the hall.
By the time Lester arrived, more than half of the bidders in the exhibition hall had already arrived. Looking around, there were already about twenty representatives of business families sitting on the seats. An force.
Connor Philos was sitting at the edge of the back row, waiting for the meeting to start, while Kelsey was sitting on the second floor, which was a special place that only VIPs could access. Judging from the seating arrangement , apparently Connor Philos has not received any special attention on the surface.
Before Lester could say anything, a maid with an emerald collar came down from the second floor to lead the way.
Following the maid of the Jerist family to the second floor, Lester sat down behind Kelsey, shook his head at the worried Kelsey, and said in a low voice.
“Just do your thing, don’t worry about me, today, I’m just a spectator.”
Hearing what Lester said, Kelsey could only suppress her doubts. She knew that it was better not to be too curious about some things.
As time passed, the last group of bidders who accepted the invitation also took their seats. At ten o’clock, the door slowly closed. The dean of the college, one of the members of the Zaun Council, a middle-aged man named Terence greeted him. With everyone’s eyes coming to the main seat, his voice was very loud and his spirits were high.
“Welcome all distinguished guests to participate in this project tender. In order to complete the greatest strait expansion project in history, the Zaun Council has raised enough project funds, and every force participating in the project can get enough money. Salary, I think before this, you have understood the specific requirements of this tender.
As the current dean of the Frederic Institute of Science and Technology, I am honored to stand here to explain all the items of this project once again… Mr. Senior, please move the blip to the first marker. ”
“Okay, Mr. Dean.”
The thin young man hurriedly responded, and by turning the brass handles in the horizontal and vertical directions at the same time, the complex star trails slowly began to move, thus changing the angle of sunlight. The sun spot is pointed at the first mark of the projection tabernacle. I have to say that this design is quite ingenious.
“Everyone, please see, this is the blasting point map designed by our craftsmen. There are 52 blasting points in the whole picture, and the place where the sun shines is the first blasting point. This place is located on the south bank of the strait, because there The terrain is too steep, and the cliffs are all hard rocks, and it is close to the harbor building. It is very difficult to blast without damaging the building, and the risk is very high.
The first lot is from the first point to the eighth point. In this most difficult lot, the Zaun Council will give a full amount of money for the project. At the same time, we also need quite professional blasting engineers and excellent explosives.
It is not easy to blow up the strait with explosives. Any mistake will make the project out of control. Those who are interested in the first bid can pay attention and submit the bidding documents after the meeting. The information provided by each bidder will be evaluated, and the most suitable construction organization will be selected,
Next is the second lot, and the second lot is from the ninth position to the fifteenth position…”
Lester quietly listened to Terrance’s speech, but he did not expect the bidding process to be so interesting.
The fifty-two blasting points are divided into eight tenders. The blasting difficulty and requirements of each tender are different, and the project funds are also large and small. Due to certain factors, each force can bid multiple times, but Only one lot can be obtained at most, and more than 30 businessmen compete for eight lots. However, overall the meeting maintained a good and harmonious atmosphere, and there was no ‘uncivilized’ behavior.
By the time the lecture was over, it was already noon, and the bidders submitted the bid documents prepared in advance. The college laid carpets and parasols on the lawn outside the exhibition hall, providing everyone with a unique picnic experience. .
Taking the china plate and knife and fork in his hand, Lester tasted a bite or two of the cooked meat that had been prepared in the dining car, then frowned and put down the tableware.
It’s not that the salt and pepper steak is not delicious, but the Scarash meat in his mouth reminded him of a few old people in Shurima.
Seeing this, Kelsey, who had been secretly observing Leicester, walked over slowly and said in a low voice.
“Mr. Liszt, did your trip go well this time?”
“The chemical plant I told you at the time, take it, the underground is really interesting, we need to keep it in our hands, but we don’t want to have any funds or personnel until the Zaun people complete their expansion plan. investment, don’t forget what I told you.”
“Yes.”
Taking Lester’s instructions in my heart, I felt that the atmosphere was a bit dull, and Kelsey, who didn’t like to be close to others, took the initiative to speak again.
“Mr. Liszt, there is a meeting in the afternoon on the construction plan of the giant sea gate [Sun Gate]. If you feel boring, you can leave at any time, just leave it to us here.”
Seeing that Kelsey still had no intention of leaving, Lester finally set his eyes on the girl’s delicate face, with a slightly more teasing look in his eyes.
“Little girl, it looks like you care about me? Well, for the sake of your good performance this time, tell me, what do you want from me? If you want me, it’s not that I can’t think about it. Now, let you and Xina be good sisters.”
Kelsey was a little overwhelmed by the feeling of shyness she had never felt before. The girl rubbed her hot cheeks and stood up to avoid the man’s funny eyes by arranging her skirt.
“Well… Sir, don’t make fun of me, I actually, I actually want to hear you tell a story about the past, about the founder of the Jerister family, the story of the ancestor of Morris,
I grew up listening to his stories, but the feelings others tell me must be different from what you gave me. You are a great witness and must know more about the story of Maurice’s ancestors. ”
“It turned out to be a family admirer of Morris. Hey, I didn’t expect that guy to have such an excellent descendant as you. If you let him know, I’m afraid he will laugh from ear to ear…”
Smiling and patting the seat next to him, Lester took two glasses of freshly squeezed sweetened milk from the dining car.
“Sit down, since you want to know about Morris’ scandal, I’ll tell you a few things, but don’t let it go.”
“Huh? Ancestor scandal? I, sir, I…”
“Oh? Really don’t want to hear it? This is the black spot in the life of the great Morris, do you really want to hear it?”
With a blushing face, Kelsey lowered her head like a little girl, and made a sound like a mosquito chirping.
“think…”
Passing the milk in his hand to Kelsey, Lester took a sip and looked up at the blue sky.
“Hey, that’s right, trust me, if it was Maurice, he wouldn’t hesitate to put his ear close, not at all.
Kelsey, in my opinion, there are no truly great people in this world at all. People make mistakes. Morris will, I will, and even the gods in the sky will peel off the halo that has been deified by legends. Everyone is just an animal who will be dominated by emotions and desires, torn apart the bright and beautiful shell, their inner part is uglier than we imagine…
Well, I think you young people don’t like the old guy’s sermons too much. It’s a rare opportunity. I’ll tell you the story of my encounter with Maurice.
It was not long after I arrived at the Immortal Fortress. At that time, the Noxians were still a bunch of savages who didn’t even have clothes together, danced and leaked their butts. You can imagine the Noxians at a campfire party. Is the most proud dance the orangutan dance?
The dancing Noxian ruler slapped his chest like a gorilla, stretched his legs awkwardly, a man and a woman kept spinning around the bonfire, and when they were happy, they were directly on the spot amid the cheers of the crowd. To give birth to a child, in order to demonstrate this dance, Nadalz, the patriarch of the Roxie clan at that time, personally demonstrated it for me…”
“Big, gorilla? Or the legendary stalwart Lord Nadalz?”
Kelsey’s eyes widened, and her cheeks spread like a sunset from her ears to her collarbone. In her impression, the old Noxus aristocrats always reflected classicism and elegance in all aspects of life. harsh,
Dance, etiquette, speech, and demeanor, every detail bears Noxus’ oldest glory,
And now, the founder of the Emerald Collar, the oldest and most mysterious legend of Noxus tells her that the greats who founded Noxus were just a group of dancing gorillas?
Suddenly there is a sense of disillusionment.
“Yeah, that’s what you think, so it seems to me that the etiquette of the old and new Noxian nobility is ridiculous, it’s just expressions to show the different classes, unless there are people nowadays Willing to dance the gorilla dance in public.
The old nobles of Noxus, they just want to use those rules to make themselves higher than others, not really want to remember the old glory of Noxus through those red tapes, don’t take complexity and depth as mystery and awe , the more simple and clear things are more worthy of respect. ”
“Okay, okay, sir, I’ll remember.”
Nodding with satisfaction, Lester talked a lot more about the girl who had been giving him positive feedback.
“In those times, the Roxie clan defeated the dark tyrant with the help of the black rose and successfully occupied the immortal fortress. It is conceivable that there will be many forces that have coveted the immortal fortress for a long time. In the middle, UU reading www.uukanshu.com The Lockheed clan led by Nadalz finally defeated the other challengers and stood firm in the immortal fortress.
But the good times did not last long. At that time, the two barbarian forces in the northern Dalmo Plain coveted the land in the south, and when the immortal fortress was weakest, they colluded with the robbers and went all the way south, looting and slaughtering the villages along the way.
The two barbarian forces were blocked by the army of the immortal fortress at the eastern foot of the Goriel Mountains, and the bandits attacked from the western foot,
You may not know that the Immortal Fortress at that time could not have a centenary composed of young and middle-aged soldiers. At that time, when troops were launched in the Conqueror Square, I could only lead a group of old, weak, sick and disabled north to block the robbers’ offensive.
I don’t know if the books of your Jelister family record the past. Your ancestor Maurice was a young man in North Knoll Village. Before he established the Jelister family, he had a family and had his own wife and son until The bandits of the Deadhead Bandits rushed into the village of North Knoll. He lost everything and became the captive of the bandits.
Our meeting was after I defeated the gang of sacked robbers. At that time, he was like a charcoal fire that was about to go out. He didn’t even want to eat, and couldn’t find any motivation to live… Believe me, that’s you Jerrys When the Te family was at its most dangerous…”
