Why it never ends

Chapter 146 The Ava Morgan Award

The residential area of ​​Lanfon Avenue is located on the edge of the old city, but the architecture here is not inferior to the city center.Stately vaults were carved with statues of kings and gods, and behind clean panes of panes hung neatly rumpled white curtains.

Even in a livable place, such a residence is enough to show the lofty status of the homeowners.

In comparison, the mansion belonging to Viscount Rich was even less conspicuous in this building complex. At this moment, the servants of the Viscount were already waiting at the door. After seeing Su Lei, they opened the door of the house. The iron gate led the two of them through the front yard.

Su Lei glanced at several cars parked in the yard, "It seems that you have other guests here today?"

"Yes, there are indeed many guests here." The servant replied, "The Viscount ordered me to ask the two of you here, do you want to see him alone, or is there anyone else?"

"Who are the guests?" Si Lei asked.

The servant leaned close to Sley's ear and announced two strange names—they were all confidantes of Baron Tanglar and Count Schmidt.

"It's more than these two." Qianye suddenly said not far away, and she pointed to a wedge-shaped car that had obviously been modified in the corner, "Don't you Viscount usually like to modify cars for fun?"

"Uh...this is..."

Si Lei walked to Qianye's side, "Do you recognize this car?"

"I recognize it. At the end of the Silver Age, this kind of car was very popular in the first district." Qianye walked to the wedge-shaped car, and she patted the very exaggerated rocket shape on the rear of the car. Car designers took it for granted that adding this rocket shape to the rear of the car would make the car drive faster and more stable, but in fact the opposite was true—this shape just increased wind resistance and improved fuel consumption, so it faded out later. stage of history."

Su Lei silently rolled his eyes, "...I'm asking if you know the owner of this car?"

Qianye smiled, "Should I recognize it too?"

"Chiba."

At this moment, a voice came from diagonally in front of the two of them.

Su Lei glanced sideways and saw a brown-skinned man standing at the main entrance of the Viscount's mansion. The man's hair was slightly curly, with a pigtail at the back of his head. dress.

The collar, cuffs, and placket of his coat, including the skirt of his lower body, are all embroidered in gold. Even the handmade cloth boots on the soles of his feet are also embroidered with patterns that echo the top. The patterns are complicated and extremely delicate. .

"It's really you." The man smiled and greeted Qianye.

"Who is this person?" Si Lei asked.

"Avinash." Chiba replied, "The mercury needle that is now working for the coalition government."

Avinash led Qianye and Su Lei to the reception room on the third floor. Although the exterior of the Viscount's house looked quite plain, the interior decoration was not timid.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Qianye suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

Since the night of star shooting in 3812, the entire human civilization has been interrupted for nearly 200 years. It was not until the first mother city rose from the ground in 4001 that everything slowly returned to its former prosperity.

200 years, in the Bronze Age, is enough to make a country go from prosperity to decline, not to mention in the dark age of blackouts, crop after crop of forces rose in chaos and quickly died.

After shedding the outer skin of civilization, people tore at each other like wild beasts.The heirs of the old power lay next to the corpses of the poor, and the heads of the angry rolled down beside the bones of the weak... Countless people died, and only the blood-stained river ran.

Among them, who is nobler than whom?

Now in the past 600 years, everything has become so orderly again, but how did all this happen?Who lifted these people to this position?Who recognized their status?Who forged their alliance?

"What's the name of this police officer?" Avinash asked sideways.

When their eyes met, Su Lei felt slightly offended—Avinash never bowed his head when talking to her, only looked down.

"Si Lei." Su Lei replied.

"Has Viscount Rishi mentioned to you the reason why the murderer can be identified?"

"No."

"Has he ever talked about why he can't speak?"

Qianye interrupted, "What are you asking so many for now, that's what we're here today."

Avinash withdrew his gaze, and none of the three spoke again until they entered Viscount Rich's living room.

……

Ava's mansion, Hesta came out from the inner room of the study.

After seeing off four waves of visitors, Ava concluded this morning's meeting.

Hesta listened to Ava's conversation with all the visitors in the morning, including mercury needles and government officials, and the topics they talked about covered all aspects of the habitable land.

This is the first time that Hesta was allowed by Ava to listen in the study. Apart from some boring financial report inquiries and the transfer of some personnel in the Nia province, Ava spent a lot of time drafting this year's "Ava Morgan Award" on the list.

The Morgan Award was established in 4619, when Ava was 60 years old and the fifth year of her retirement.Years of fighting have accumulated an astonishing amount of wealth for her. She used the money to set up her own foundation, and began to work for this plan in the third district.

"Morgan Award" is a general term. It is actually divided into two categories: "Ava Morgan Scholars" and "Ava Morgan Pioneers", which are used to encourage outstanding achievements in the four fields of medicine, engineering, law, and education. Contributing women.From nomination to review, the entire process is jointly managed by the female academic community and senior female practitioners in related fields.

In principle, Ava has a veto in her hands, but she rarely interferes with the process.Even so, the proposed list will still be sent to her one month before the winners are announced every year, and she will look at them one by one to decide whether to exercise the rights.

"Can I have a look?" Hesta pointed to a dozen project briefs on Ava's desk.

"Please."

The project brief finalized by Ava has been taken away by previous visitors, and now the last batch of unsuccessful candidates are placed here. Ava is not very satisfied with the candidates for this year's medical scholars, but there is no more suitable candidate among the remaining candidates Yes, so this year's Medical Scholar Award is tentatively vacant, and Ava needs some time to continue thinking about it.

Hesta looked at the brief introduction, and among several difficult technical terms, she quickly grasped the main body of the article-an obstetrician and gynecologist who has been working as an aid doctor in the wasteland of District 11 developed a new type of midwifery Needle, it can not only help some pregnant women with insufficient labor force to give birth as soon as possible, but at the same time, it completely avoids the side effects of excessive uterine contraction, fetal asphyxia and even bleeding in pregnant women that may be caused by midwifery needles in the past.

What's more, its price is less than 1/20 of the old-fashioned midwifery needle, and anyone can afford it.

As soon as this birth support needle was used, it was affectionately called the "life-saving charm for girls": in just two months, it has saved the lives of thousands of women under the age of 11 in the wasteland of District 15—these are too young of girls often die of dystocia because they are too weak to produce sustained, strong contractions during pregnancy and childbirth.

"What do you think of it, Jane?" Ava's voice was soft.

Hesta put the document back on the table.

"It seems difficult to say whether it is a 'life-saving talisman' or a 'urging talisman'."
