It is not impolite to interrupt casually at the dinner table. There is no such class as nobility in the Federation. There has never been one before, but it is hard to say whether there will be one in the future. Although people's impression of the nobility still remains in the decadent feudal system of the empire, in fact these founding families also inherited the status and value of the nobility. They are the nobility of the federation, but people do not use the word "noble" to describe them. That's all.
The old man has a good tutor and has high authority in the family, so the girl can only pay more attention to the inexplicable conversation between the two and guess what they are talking about.
"Your Mightiness… "
Du Lin was interrupted by the old man as soon as he said a word, "Don't call me Your Excellency, you can call me Sail." This sentence made the girl's eyes widen. In fact, in the family, only the children who are loved by the old man can be more affectionate. Call the old man by his nickname, and everyone else must call him by his honorific name. This was a very special situation. The girl looked at Du Lin as if she had seen a ghost. She felt that Du Lin was not a few years older than her. This should be the first time they met. How could he win the old man's love?
Or is there something special about him, maybe he is Mr. Sail's illegitimate son or something
Neither of them knew that the girl's mind had begun to become confused. Du Lin hesitated for a while before nodding in agreement and continued the topic, "Then... okay, Sail. You know there is a way to dismantle high-rise buildings. Is it the most efficient way to abandon buildings?" The old man shook his head. He knew nothing about construction. Dulin put down his knife and fork and gave an unexpected word to Mr. Sail, "Explosion!"
"Yes, blast!"
"If we use workers and large construction machinery to demolish a high-rise building, we first need to demolish it bit by bit from the upper floor. If we demolish it directly from the bottom, there is a high chance that the high-rise building will tilt or even hit us. It has caused irreparable and unacceptable losses to workers and construction machinery.”
"It is much safer to demolish from high places. They will first remove the roof, and then remove it layer by layer until they think they can push the half-demolished building without causing any harm. When the consequences come, they will push down the rest in one fell swoop.”
Du Lin reached out and fiddled with his fork twice. His smile was a little strange, as if he was restraining himself. "But this process is very long and requires a complete demolition plan. Perhaps the things around this high-rise building must be removed first." Evacuation includes moving some of the surrounding residents and preparing funds for compensation for possible damage to the surrounding environment.”
"The long planning cycle, the long demolition cycle, the layers of visible or invisible obstacles and troubles, and the waste of too much manpower and material resources just to demolish a building! I think it is possible that the construction method will be improved during the demolition process. Suddenly I realized that this was a very stupid thing to do, because the times are constantly changing, and the long construction period will cause complicated chain effects on many things. For example, some people think that this destroys the environment and harmony and stops the project. or the follow-up funds were not available and they could not pay the construction team’s salary, so they gave up the construction.”
"At this time, we need to use another method to demolish the building more efficiently and simply without leaving any consequences. At the same time, the land left behind after demolishing the building will be of great use. With the continuous progress of the times, we can decide what to rebuild on this land based on the choices of this world and this era. "
Mr. Sail nodded, "I think I understand..." He pinched the tips of his five fingers together, and then made an expansion-like movement like an explosion, "Is this what you call explosion?!"
"Yes, Mr. Sail, blast!"
Mr. Sail thought for a while and raised a question, "Then how do we ensure that the destructive power caused by the explosion will not affect other buildings? Assuming that this building is in a downtown area or the city center, once the explosion causes Its tilt and collapse will most likely have a devastating impact on the surrounding buildings. How to avoid this problem? "
Du Lin had prepared all his words before coming and checked them several times. If he could convince Mr. Sail, it would be a huge and important turning point. His answers were quick and careful. , "There is a word in blasting, called directional blasting. If the load-bearing system of this building is destroyed at the same time..." Dulin stretched out a finger and repeated emphatically, "Note that it is destroyed at the same time, then this building will be destroyed at the same time..." Things will collapse downward instead of falling around.”
"In the end, we just need to clean up the garbage and get a vacant piece of land in the downtown area, in the city center. We can leave it to our own decision to build a new building or leave it vacant. And this is your power!"
Mr. Sail fell into deep thought again. After a while, he forced out a smile and asked, "Can we use other methods to demolish this building?"
Du Lin nodded with a half-smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Sail, the bomb has been sent in!"
Mr. Sail was stunned for a moment, and then he started to laugh loudly. You could hear that he was confident. He laughed and shook his head, "I have never seen a young man like you before. You have great courage and ideas." It's also strange, why don't you come to the Federation?" The old man said, looking at his granddaughter, and said jokingly, "You will never get ahead in the empire, and the 'new nobles' like Mags seem to be liberated. All classes have been eliminated, but in fact the empire is still ruled by the nobles, even... "
When he said this, the old man suddenly closed his mouth and changed the topic, "You come to the Federation and become my grandson-in-law. As long as you can ensure the longevity of the family, I can include you in the selection of successors. Do you want to think about it?"
Du Lin had not considered this matter at all. He was curious about what Mr. Sail hadn't finished saying just now. He vaguely felt that Sail's understanding of the empire far exceeded that of him, an imperial man. Of course, this may be related to the fact that Mr. Sail's family has always been the top family in the Federation. He has enough ability and authority to know some things that ordinary people don't know.
He pretended to think about it for a while, then shook his head and said, "If one day I really touch the ceiling, then I will come. I hope Mr. Sail's daughter's granddaughter is not married yet." He also glanced at it. The girl, the girl kept smiling demurely, lowering her head slightly and sitting at the edge of the dining table, as if she had not moved since she sat down.
Mr. Sail did not expect Dulin to agree immediately. He gave a lower limit, "Three years, you have three years to prove whether you can do what you want to do. Within three years, the Lelis family The door will be open for you." The old man smiled, "But if three years pass, all this will disappear."
He laughed a few times to relieve the slightly serious atmosphere, pointed to the delicious dishes on the table and said, "Get moving, sir and madam, we still have a lot of things to solve."
The conversation between them ended here for the time being, because it was not suitable for a third person to be present in the in-depth discussion. At the same time, Mr. Sail also needed to chat with other old friends. Dulin provided a forum for him and all the founding families. A brand new idea, a method that he said could avoid future troubles forever. This method is very dangerous and may hurt oneself, but as Dulin said, it is not a question of choice now. The bomb has been sent into the building. What they should do is to avoid all risks or Take risks to defuse bombs.
After finishing the meal, Du Lin took the initiative to ask to leave. He needed to leave enough time for Mr. Sail to think about it, weigh the pros and cons, and finally choose the answer. Of course, Du Lin is not worried. He believes that Mr. Isao, or these founding families, will choose the most correct answer in order to safeguard their own interests.
After Du Lin left, the girl left the restaurant with Mr. Sail's permission. She didn't ask Mr. Sail why he decided her possible future life so hastily. That was a stupid question. She was born in a family like Lelis. I am lucky, but also unlucky.
They have struggled for dozens of generations less than others since they were born, but they have also lost a lot of freedom and autonomy. In a limited space, they have no power to choose.
After the old man left, the girl went to her room and picked up the phone. She wanted to find out where Du Lin was from and what he had done. She didn't think Dulin's rejection would last long. In the country of the Federation, everyone wanted to marry the founding family, and Dulin would definitely come back here.
She called a friend of hers, and she had a lot of friends, which was one of her blessings. Since childhood, she has always been exposed to the top social environment in the Federation around Mr. Sail. The people she knows are always big shots in the eyes of ordinary people. Maybe in her own eyes, they are just like that.
She did not reveal any other information on the phone, but asked about Dulin's name and what he had done.
The person who answered the phone was the same young man, who was exactly twenty years old. His father was a senior official in the federal government. He had a background in the government and a consortium, and was a member of the top social circle.
This young man has been pursuing girls. On the one hand, the motivation for pursuing girls comes from the needs of his father, mother and family. On the other hand, the girl is also very beautiful and has a very special identity. This is definitely one of the best "collections" in life. one.
The young man checked Dulin's information and asked people to send it to the Lelis family, while he began to investigate Dulin. This was a dangerous signal. He did not want to have more competitors. If necessary and possible, he would let him This man named Du Lin left on his own initiative.
