The technology of the subway has existed for a long time.
But it has never been put into production.
Now that Takumi had finally brought up this matter, Cloud Retainer was naturally looking forward to it.
She had long been dissatisfied with this technology being left unused to gather dust.
Now Takumi was finally going to use it.
How could this not make Cloud Retainer happy?
So Cloud Retainer could no longer wait.
Hearing her words, Takumi could not help but say:
"You can start manufacturing right away. As for testing, just wait until the tunnels are completed."
"There's nothing to worry about."
"Basically, there are no major problems in the design drawings, and the final product won't differ much."
"I still trust Chiyojun's abilities."
In short, he trusted her completely and would let her proceed freely.
Hearing Takumi's praise, Liuyun Jiejun felt quite proud.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
"I'll handle everything for you."
"By the way, Takumi, I have a prescription here—"
Seeing that she was about to continue, Takumi immediately said:
"Chiyojun, you should get busy first."
"Shen He and I still have things to do, so we'll take our leave."
"We won't disturb you any longer."
After saying this, Takumi pulled Shen He along and walked out.
Seriously, you make it hard for me to even come see you.
Every time we meet, you talk about this or that.
At this point, Chiyojun was acting like an old lady.
It was too much.
How could she bring up such topics the moment they met?
So Takumi decisively took Shen He away.
Watching Takumi flee, Liuyun Jiejun felt extremely depressed.
Did Takumi not want to talk to her anymore?
Damn it.
After grumbling inwardly for a while, she also began arranging work.
As for Takumi, he had already dragged Shen He far away.
After leaving the machinery workshop, Takumi started complaining to Shen He.
"You come here every day. How do you put up with her?"
"She must be nagging you constantly, right?"
Hearing this, Shen He immediately laughed.
"Actually, yes."
"But Master is very lonely."
"Although she has many subordinates who follow her instructions, there aren't many people who can really talk with her."
"So I often come over to chat with her."
That was the real reason.
Besides helping, she came mainly to keep her master company.
After all, Liuyun Jiejun really liked chatting.
If no one talked to her, she would feel lonely.
Senior Sister Ganyu was too busy, so Shen He had to come instead.
Hearing Shen He's explanation, Takumi was speechless.
After thinking for a moment, Takumi continued:
"Then why not bring some other adepti over to do research with Chiyojun?"
"Anyway, quite a few adepti don't have much to do."
Takumi felt this was feasible.
Although some adepti had gone to open shops,
there were still others who were idle.
They could come help Chiyojun study mechanical technology.
Many adepti were already teaching at the academy.
So it was natural for the rest to participate in research.
There were even adepti skilled in medicine.
Thinking of this, Takumi's eyes lit up.
It really seemed workable.
Well, before that, Zhongli should handle the arrangements.
Let Zhongli do the talking.
Zhongli also needed help with work, after all.
If adepti came to assist, he could relax a bit.
Zhongli likely wouldn't refuse.
Takumi quickly formed a plan.
Let Zhongli speak with the adepti.
When Shen He heard Takumi's suggestion, she had no objections.
If other adepti came, Chiyojun wouldn't be so lonely.
It sounded like a good idea.
While discussing this, the two headed toward the Ministry of Education.
Zhongli was not at the teahouse at the moment.
After all, the academy had started, and Zhongli was busy.
So to find him, they went directly to his office.
Takumi soon brought Shen He to Zhongli's office.
At that moment, Zhongli was finishing one task and preparing for the next.
Then Takumi and Shen He walked in.
This made Zhongli raise an eyebrow.
"What is it?"
To Zhongli, Takumi's arrival usually meant trouble.
So he wasn't exactly eager to see him.
Seeing Zhongli, Takumi smiled.
"I didn't come to ask for help."
"Actually, I want to propose something to you."
Hearing this, Zhongli relaxed slightly.
"Go on."
He was curious about what Takumi wanted to say.
"Both the machinery workshop and the alchemy workshop are extremely busy."
"Since that's the case, I think some adepti can be invited to help."
"For example, only Chiyojun Liuyun is in charge of the machinery workshop right now."
"After all, Guizhong has moved to the space agency."
"Sometimes she's too busy on her own."
"So I thought that since the adepti are idle in the mountains anyway, they might as well come help."
Takumi explained his thoughts.
Zhongli was stunned when he heard this.
Let the adepti come down the mountains to help?
Seeing Zhongli hesitate, Takumi continued:
"Besides, I think you could also find someone you trust to be your secretary."
"That way, many tasks would be easier."
"Those adepti sleep on the mountains every day anyway. Why not let them help out?"
As soon as he said this, Zhongli's eyes lit up.
But he soon calmed down.
A secretary?
That was indeed an option.
He had considered it before.
It was just that he hadn't found a suitable candidate.
Now Takumi had given him a new idea.
Those adepti really could come down to assist.
Zhongli immediately spoke:
"I'll contact them."
Hearing this, Takumi knew the matter was settled.
There was no need to worry further.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"This way, manpower won't be so tight anymore."
"The current situation is caused by development being too fast."
"Many students haven't graduated yet."
"There are many positions we simply can't fill right now."
This was indeed unavoidable.
Many positions in Liyue were currently filled by temporary staff from Liyue Harbor.
Some people even held multiple posts at once.
It still wasn't enough.
More talent needed to be trained.
Development was too fast, and talent couldn't keep up.
Zhongli nodded.
That was indeed the case.
He had personally witnessed Liyue's rapid development.
He was well aware of the situation.
Takumi and Zhongli talked for a while longer.
Takumi even gave him advice on finding a reliable assistant.
After finishing everything, Takumi left with Shen He.
As for how the adepti would react next, Takumi believed they would not refuse Morax.
