Luckily, Liu Mo's timely appearance helped Ouyang Shuo out of that pickle.
”Lord!” Liu Mo bowed, greeting Ouyang Shuo enthusiastically.
When Ouyang Shuo saw Liu Mo, he smiled. Naturally, he knew the reason behind Liu Mo's excitement. The matter about the steam engine had spread throughout the China region, even someone like Liu Mo who locked himself up for research had heard the news.
However, till now, the relevant technical manual had not been sent over to the No. 7 Research Institute.
”Let's go over to your headquarters.”
Ouyang Shuo dismounted and proceeded side by side with Liu Mo.
As they had to stick to the territory industrialization proposition, the No. 7 Research Institute had relentlessly expanded during this half a year. Now, they had become a machine with over thousands of researchers.
The headquarters where research took place had also been expanded.
Around the headquarters, five to six large research labs stood; these labs included material research labs, experimental labs, and machine research labs.
The ones leading the research labs were all top experts in their fields in real life.
The reason the No. 7 Research Institute could become a technological center and research brain was because everyone here was easily professor or doctor grade. In fact, no less than 20 were academicians in real life.
Just as they walked into the research center, Liu Mo started to mutter, ”Steam engine! Steam engine!”
Toward such a technology crazy fellow, Ouyang Shuo was helpless and directly passed both technical manuals to him, ”Take a look!”
Liu Mo acted like he had obtained a treasure, and he started flipping through the manuals on the spot, totally not caring about Ouyang Shuo. Luckily, his assistant was alert and quickly gave the Lord a cup of hot tea.
”Why is there a sewing machine?” Liu Mo suddenly opened his mouth; his tone showed a hint of despise.
As a thermal weapons expert, he was interested in the steam engine because it could push the development of the steelmaking industry. It could quicken the design of machinery to hasten thermal weapons research.
”Why a sewing machine? An old antique with no use at all.”
Ouyang Shuo had a 'I knew this was going to happen expression.' He solemnly said, ”I'm telling you now, you must put in as much effort into this as the steam engine.”
The sewing machine did not attract Liu Mo at all.
But from Ouyang Shuo's perspective, it was an item that could generate endless profits.
”Okay!” Liu Mo gave an extremely forced reply.
His time was exceedingly precious. Asking him to split up his time was harder than ascending the heavens.
When Ouyang Shuo saw this situation, he gritted his teeth, ”How about this, when you all push the sewing machine to large scale production, I'll give you all 500 thousand gold?”
”Really?” When Liu Mo heard these words, he jumped.
”I do not tell lies!”
”Great. Two months. In at most two months, there will be results.” Liu Mo promised.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, standing up and entering the courtyard outside the hall. Peng! Peng! Peng! He quickly took out a few massive items, including one steam engine, one sewing machine, and two Spanish cannons.
Luckily, his storage bag had huge capacity. Otherwise, he could not bring back all these items.
”This is the steam engine prototype.” Liu Mo followed Ouyang Shuo, his eyes lighting up.
”That's right. There's also that.” Ouyang Shuo pointed at one of the cannons, ”That's a Spanish Cannon; it might give you some inspiration for the new cannons you are designing.”
Liu Mo walked up and performed a close inspection of the Spanish cannon.
Following which, Liu Mo took out stationary, ruler, microscope, hammer, pencil, notebook, and other items that Ouyang Shuo did not recognize.
It truly felt like his storage bag held everything in it.
Following which, Liu Mo asked people to take out cutting tools; it seemed like he wanted to directly break apart the Spanish Cannon.
”Wait, wait.”
Ouyang Shuo called him, taking out a thick book once more, ”Take a look at this.”
Liu Mo took a look, ”What's this? Atlantis Mimicry Flying Device Crafting Technical Manual? The legendary Atlantis technology?”
”Research it and see if you can craft it.” Ouyang Shuo nodded.
Looking at the book, Liu Mo fell into a trance.
In comparison, the cannons were unable to attract his attention. One had to say, Ouyang Shuo had brought him surprise after surprise.
”This is really difficult!”
After a short while, Liu Mo said, his eyes burning with fire.
The more difficult the challenge, the more exciting it was for him.
”Take your time.” Seeing that it was already late, Ouyang Shuo took out one last item; it was an exquisite wooden box. He passed it to Liu Mo and prepared to leave.
”What technique is this?” Liu Mo was curious.
Ouyang Shuo sighed, ”This is not a technique. It's a gift I brought for your parents.”
Ouyang Shuo had heard that Liu Mo had put too much effort into research. The situation was like the one previously in real life; he did not bother about his parents.
From Song Jia's words, this god brother had not returned home in two months.
Liu Mo held the wooden box, his whole body freezing up.
