Chapter 215 You two are going to Backlund too (Additional chapter for the reward from the boss "雪隐苍岚愫仙"!

Melissa's eyes lit up again, and she clenched her fists and said:
"Mr. Blue, I saw in the introduction of the 'Perpetual Motion Machine' company that it is engaged in 'new machinery manufacturing'... Well... Actually, I have a lot of mechanical ideas! I even pieced together a mechanical creation! Please wait a moment, I will go get it..."

“Melissa, don’t take it… Um, Mr. Blue, my sister is actually very talented, but due to material problems, the appearance of the finished product is not very beautiful. Please bear with me after seeing it…” Benson knew very well how… strange the appearance of Melissa’s “doll” was, so he lowered the other party’s psychological expectations in advance.

"No, no, I don't know much about the field of mechanics, but a friend of mine who is an expert in this field said that beginners can get started if they can make a finished machine, because the principles are common. After that, they just need to slowly accumulate experience, and after they have mastered it, they can move on to advanced theories and practice again. This is a cyclical process.

"I think that makes sense. This method can be widely used in other fields." Old Bruce said nonsense seriously.

Benson exclaimed: "The person who said this must be a wise man. His wisdom is amazing! Of course, you too!"

Melissa returned quickly, holding a turtle-shaped object made of gears, rusty iron, springs, and springs. She tightened the spring and said,
"This is the 'doll' I made. When I feel upset, I feel much better just by watching it move like this..."

After saying that, she placed the clockwork-powered "doll" on the table, and saw that the "doll" jumped and walked rhythmically.

Old Blue nodded, "It's normal for a puppet to be not in human form! Since we have a cyber puppet, we should not limit ourselves to human appearance! Roselle has never been able to create a "Steam Mechanical Gundam Corps" in his lifetime, so it seems that this matter has fallen on Saint Melissa's head!

"Okay, okay, I think your design is really good. I think the name 'Cockroach Bully' is very suitable for this model of machine. Well, on behalf of the 'Perpetual Motion Machine' company, I will formally purchase its design drawings and copyrights from Miss Melissa. It will be the first toy launched by our company!"

“Cockroach… cockroach? But it is…” After Klein said it was a “turtle,” Melissa’s creation got a new title, which made her feel a little disappointed. Could it be that “Doll No. 1” really doesn’t look like a human?
Benson, the manager of the reservation company, was somewhat helpless. Sister, your aesthetic taste might be... He thought that Old Blue was joking and said:
"Melissa, you are already very good, it's just a matter of materials... Mr. Blue, please forgive me..."

Old Bruce took out a black bag from his suitcase and a camera that was two-thirds the size of a human head. As Benson was surprised and Melissa was excited, he solemnly pointed the camera at the "doll". As the lights flashed, the mechanical clicks of gears and springs followed. Old Bruce smiled and said,
"Okay, I've taken photos and saved them. Now the 'Cockroach Bully No. 1' mechanical doll has been officially filed. Ms. Melissa, the price quoted by the 'Perpetual Motion Machine' company is 50 pounds. The reason for the low price is that there is still room for improvement in its appearance..."

Benson was stunned. Is this what they call a "grassroots team"? They are so rich that it's frightening! He couldn't help but start thinking about the pros and cons of the company: the good news is that the company has money, the bad news is that the boss doesn't seem to take money seriously.

Well, the good news is that the boss doesn’t treat money as money, so the salary will be very high. The bad news is... if this continues, the company will collapse, right?
“No, no, I just made it using materials that the school didn’t want and things I picked up on the road. It’s not worth that much… I’m willing to give it to the company! Well, that’s it. Let Klein see the finished product. He will definitely be surprised!” Melissa refused the huge sum of money with a difficult tone, and then she spoke more and more easily and fluently.

Old Bruce laughed:
"Give it to the company? Are you helping Benson make the choice? Haha, what a smart girl!

“But even if they are relatives, the accounts must be kept clear, otherwise the company will have many problems.

"Melissa, this camera is roughly as valuable as your 'doll'. Hmm...how about I exchange it with you?" As he said that, Old Blue handed the camera to the girl who had been staring at it from the beginning.

Melissa took it subconsciously, and only reacted after she felt its warm touch with her fingers, and said hurriedly: “No, this... is too expensive!”

Benson silently reached out his hand to support the bottom of the camera. He was afraid that his sister would get excited and drop this precision instrument on the ground... Even if he became a manager, it would take him many weeks of salary to pay it back!
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse," Old Bruce took out the film from the camera bag and put it on the table.

"I always believe that 'knowledge is power', but knowledge from books alone is not enough. You need to see more real objects, such as steam trains, Backlund's subway, airships floating in the sky, and other great mechanical creations. Then Melissa can use her camera to record them and use them to find inspiration in her future designs...

“This is the convenience brought by the new era. Well, in my imagination, when the company’s scientific research laboratory is established, it would be best if every member of the laboratory could be equipped with such a camera.

"I think with Melissa's talent, she might be able to study and design in the lab at the same time. In this case, a camera is of course an indispensable equipment."

Melissa quickly understood the mechanical structure of the camera, and changed the film with her hands very deftly and steadily. She put the film with the "dolls" in her bag and said:

"Mr. Blue, the 'doll' is my design, and I should determine its value... I hope to use your camera to take a picture of Benson and me! That's enough!

"Benson, tomorrow is Sunday. We can send the photos to Klein when we go out! Just like Klein did! He definitely doesn't want us to worry..."

Benson finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "That's a very good idea! This is the first time Klein has gone on a long journey alone, and he was in such a hurry. I didn't even send him to the steam station. I'm such an unqualified brother... Let's do as you wish!" He then looked at Old Blue and said:

"Mr. Blue, could you please take a picture for us?"

Seeing the two siblings insist, Old Blue took the camera with a smile, and said after the flash went off:
"You three siblings have such a great relationship. Well, I have a suggestion. Tomorrow is Sunday. Why don't you take the steam train to Backlund to see Klein?
"By the way, Benson, you should also go meet Jacob. He is the head of the 'perpetual motion machine' Backlund headquarters and he is also a young man. You can discuss the company's future plans.

"Melissa can also go and see that miraculous creation: the steam subway. Well, are you interested in the items invented by Roselle? I also have friends in the Steam Church. I heard that tomorrow, the Kingdom Museum will hold a long-lasting 'Roselle Memorial Exhibition', and many creative manuscripts of this 'Son of Steam' will also be on display...

"Of course, as family members and employees of the shareholders of the Perpetual Motion Machine Company, all expenses of your trip will be borne by the company."

After laying so much groundwork, Old Blue finally revealed his purpose!
Tomorrow, September 9th! Sunday! The Son of God is born!

Just in case, let Klein's family stay out of the spotlight as much as possible! After I have resolved everything...Tingen will really be a holy place for retirement!
