Rebecca Levixin and Tang Qunying hurriedly went to buy new year's goods.
The journey was long, and neither Jiang Jian nor Tang Qunying, nor any of the new public officials who joined Lubin Mansion, returned to their hometown.
"Xitao, New Year's Eve is a grand event. Appetizers, soups, side dishes, main dishes, fruit and vegetable desserts, one main dish and six salty side dishes, okay?"
Tang Qunying shook his head: "The Spring Festival evolved from the ancient sacrifices to pray for good luck at the beginning of the year. Eating, wearing, wearing, using, sticking, and welcoming people are collectively called New Year's goods. The Taiping New Year also depends on the sky for food. You, me, Nina, and the magistrate "It's enough to cook six vegetables and make a meal of dumplings, and use the remaining money to buy other things. Don't waste it, and you shouldn't follow the Western method, otherwise it will be self-defeating and hurt your sweetheart."
Rebecca. Levi immediately became nervous: "Xitao, you still make the decision, I'll pay for it."
Tang Qunying rolled his eyes.
Two women, wrapped in thick cotton-padded jackets, wandered through the bustling streets of Lubin Mansion, while carriages and their drivers were waiting outside to load their goods.
Lubin Mansion is really lively this year.
Since the Qing army entered the customs and made the capital the capital, Manchus and Han people lived together, and economic and cultural exchanges and influences were closely related to each other.
The customs of the Han people were absorbed by the Manchus, and the Spring Festival became a common custom between the Han and Manchu people.
Tang Qunying and Rebecca Levi bought rice cakes and fire spoons first, saying they would use them when they enshrined the ancestral tablets.
And purchase some rosin candles.
Beef, sheep, chicken, fish, deer and pork, of which deer and pig are game.
Yoghurt wine, roasting pot, tea cakes, sugar balls, shredded tobacco
Rebecca Levi's peach wood carvings of Shen Tu, Yu Lei, Qin Shubao, Yuchi Jingde, Fulu, Fanzi and other door gods were attracted and couldn't bear to leave for a while.
Later I saw all kinds of Spring Festival couplets and wanted to buy them randomly.
Tang Qunying hurriedly stopped: "These are Manchu Spring Festival couplets you are looking at. The custom of Spring Festival couplets was passed down to the Manchus from the Han people. The Han people wrote on red paper, and the Manchus used white paper. Influenced by the Han people, the Manchu couplets People also began to think that the color white was unlucky, so they decorated the couplets with blue and red edges. As for us, we naturally had to buy all-red ones."
Rebecca Levy suddenly realized.
She still has a lot to learn.
As for the wooden horses, balalaikas, flutes, huqins, grimace masks, single ropes, stilts, wheelbarrows, etc. in the market, they are all needed by the local Mongolian people for their Spring Festival celebrations.
The Han people call it Spring Festival, while the Banner people call it New Year's Day.
It is different from the New Year’s Day on January 1 of the Western calendar in later generations.
The two girls wandered around in the market for a whole day, picking here and there, shopping around, and finally managed to get together the needed New Year goods.
I went home to unload the goods and went into the house to see that Zhao Chuanxin had not returned yet.
Rebecca Levi suddenly panicked: "The Spring Festival is around the corner, but he still hasn't come back. Why, Xi Tao?"
"If you can relax, he might come back." "Yes." Tang Qunying said helplessly.
"Xitao's words make sense." LiBeka Levi nodded with deep understanding, and then continued to think worriedly: "Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Tang Qunying: ""
I'm afraid the devil is stunned.
Zhao Chuanxin is currently in the white house in Quite Shalan.
It was around two o'clock in the middle of the night in Qut Saran, and the surroundings of the white house were extremely quiet.
Zhao Chuanxin and Xingyue now need a quiet and undisturbed environment.
Light a lamp in the yard and a lamp in the house.
It seems that there is only one house with lights on in the whole town.
When Villagalvez got up at night, he saw a dim and flickering light like a will-o'-the-wisp lighting up in the distance at the white house, and he couldn't help but shudder.
In the past few days, he could see the lights on in that house every night. During the day, the door was locked and the windows were blocked by curtains.
Are you afraid it’s haunted?
He pulled up his pants guiltily, glanced at the bright stars in the night sky, finally dispelled the chill in his heart, and hurriedly turned back to the house.
In the white house, Xingyue controlled the black puppet craftsman to grind the true-sight crystal lens for several days.
In the past few days, Zhao Chuanxin has not refreshed the old divine code.
In addition to eating, drinking, sleeping, and eating, he spent every day accompanying Xingyue to create "new eyes."
Each piece of true seeing crystal is first cut into a roughly circular shape, and then the surface is ground with an elf carving knife to make the spherical curvature radius of the lens meet the requirements.
The surface of the lens is then ground and polished with shaped diamond grinding, and then carefully polished with silk fabrics of various meshes to make it highly smooth and translucent.
This will create a basic lens.
The new eyes Xingyue wants to make are equivalent to optical lenses and require multiple sets of lenses.
These lenses need to fit tightly into the lens barrel, and because there is no suitable plastic with a low thermal expansion coefficient, the lens barrel can only be made of stainless steel.
The inner and outer diameters of the lens need to meet the assembly requirements, and the lens barrel is integrally molded and wrapped.
The edge of the lens needs to be coated with ink to reduce reflection and stray light from the inner surface of the lens.
These processes are complex and delicate.
Xingyue’s true-seeing crystal eyes could not achieve microscopic effects, and the ground lenses could not meet the parameter requirements, so they had to make do with it at first.
After wearing the new eye, use the new eye for more fine polishing.
True-seeing crystals inherently have imaging effects, which can be viewed from far or near. After high-precision grinding, the microscopic effect is outstanding, surpassing all contemporary microscopes.
This cycle continues until Xingyue is satisfied.
With a high-precision adjustable focus microscope as eyes, Xingyue first transformed and upgraded the central control rune fragments in the puppet slave's body.
The central control rune fragment is the computing and control core of the puppet, and the final unit for information processing and command execution.
It is ground smaller, not only the computing circuit and the control circuit are integrated on the same base plate, but the command system is initially improved.
Xingyue calls it the superscalar worm silk flowing water structure.
The central control rune fragments of the same size can already control the parallel movement trajectories of all the worm threads in the puppet slaves.
With this transformation and upgrade, the movement accuracy of the puppet slave has become comparable to that of the black puppet craftsman.
At this time, Xingyue controlled the puppet slave, disassembled the black puppet craftsman, used the microscopic eye to create new central control rune fragments and installed them into the black puppet craftsman.
Wait until the black puppet craftsman completes the upgrade, and then control the black puppet craftsman to grind the true seeing crystal lens with higher precision.
The process is extremely tedious and requires a lot of patience.
After the black puppet craftsman installs a more advanced true seeing crystal lens set, use the puppet slave and the black puppet craftsman to upgrade each other.
The cycle goes on and on until finally there is no room for upgrades.
Xingyue upgraded the central control rune fragments from 8 worm silk processing structures to 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and finally 512.
At this time, the black puppet craftsman can process action tasks with multi-core high parallelism.
Then Xingyue began to transform Zhao Chuanxin into soft gold armor.
First upgrade the central control rune fragments, and then update the worm silk power system.
In the past, Xingyue's "metal" planting was very messy, but he re-created the soft gold armor shell parts with a moderate thickness of soft gold "seed", and every inch of the joints was precision-made, and the sealing material was applied The fit is super high.
In the deep sea, under the high pressure of seawater, even a trace of water vapor is considered unqualified.
After evolving his eyes, Xingyue "sees" the subtle differences in black, white and soft gold.
Black soft gold has higher protective effect and higher density, but is less flexible.
So black is used as the base material.
The protective effect of white soft gold is slightly poor, but it is highly flexible and can easily stretch, deform and then rebound after being stressed. The inner and outer thighs are connected with strips of white soft gold and black soft gold.
If the armor is hit by a bullet, the white soft gold is equivalent to shock absorption. Reduce the weight, increase the protective effect, and achieve the purpose of shock absorption and damage prevention.
From the appearance point of view, the new soft gold armor is mainly black, with some regular white lines.
Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, the modified soft gold armor looks very cool.
Xingyue told Zhao Chuanxin: "Now, your armor has surpassed the old emperor's Chaos Armor in terms of performance, so this armor is already qualified to be called Chaos Armor."
Before Zhao Chuanxin could test the performance of the Chaos Armor, he continued to transform the Eight-Length Light Sword with Xingyue.
Zhao Chuanxin and Xingyue tried several metal forging methods and alloys, but none of them were enough to crush the puppet soldier's light saber substrate.
Zhao Chuanxin’s bastardThe performance of Chaos Armor has been improved, but the increase in strength is limited.
He needs to use ingenuity to overcome force.
The best way is to truly "sharpen iron like mud".
Not only the strength of the light blade is enhanced, but the strength of the base material is also stronger than that of the light blade. The combination of the two can easily fight against the old emperor's pure light blade.
Finally unable to choose the best material, Xingyue suggested: "Maybe we should try to add the light blade rune to your elf carving knife."
"Um "Zhao Chuanxin was reluctant.
The Elf Carving Knife can not only be used in war, but is also a life assistant. Zhao Chuanxin is really unwilling to take risks with it.
Xingyue persuaded: "Even if it fails, the elf carving knife will not be damaged."
"What if you break it for me?" Zhao Chuanxin hesitated. asked.
Xingyue Gujing said calmly: "Then pretend that I never said this."
""
When did Xingyue start? A bad example?
Old Zhao is the kind of person who doesn’t believe you the more you swear.
On the contrary, he wanted to give it a try.
Being held back is setting an example of retrogression.
Xingyue made a long sword handle to accommodate the entire shrinking elf carving knife.
It contains worm threads and light blade rune fragments, plus simple central control rune fragments and energy gems.
In the first test, the extending elf carving knife failed to cut off all the worm threads.
Xingyue calculated silently and rejected countless plans.
Zhao Chuanxin saw that Xingyue was exhausted and suddenly said: "Nikola Tesla thought that Edison's DC model was inefficient. Due to voltage limitations, DC power could only be transmitted 3 kilometers from the generator to the user. More points would require a large number of power stations to provide power, so he proposed to use alternating current to switch directions 60 times per second, so that it could span longer distances with minimal power loss. When I saw that the old emperor could now emit light blades over long distances. I suddenly thought of alternating current. Why don't you try this idea?" Xingyue immediately tried to use the central control rune fragments to change the direction of the light blade rune fragments.
Chi
A light blade drilled out and shot a hole in the rocky ground.
Zhao Chuanxin was shocked and then retreated.
If this cuts his foot, maybe everyone will call him Zhao Laizi in the future.
Xingyue began to upgrade the central control rune fragments, changing the simple 16 worm thread processing structure to 32.
Switch the vibration frequency of the light blade rune fragments from 30 times per second to 60 times per second.
The light blade emitted by the handle was a little shorter and shot a hole in the window glass of the white house. The light blade hit a mesquite tree thirty meters away and disappeared.
Xingyue said: "It's really short and long."
Zhao Chuanxin asked: "Can it be thick and long?"
Xingyue: "That's impossible, absolutely impossible."
Xingyue changed 60 timesThe vibration was 20 times, and a long light blade was shot out, slowly and with a very short range, and disappeared three meters away.
Xingyue said: "Although it is long, it disappears quickly."
Zhao Chuanxin shook his head and sighed: "It won't last."
Xingyue Change 20 shocks to 10.
A light blade ejected from the handle without any carrier, and actually extended about one and a half meters in front of the handle without scattering.
Zhao Chuanxin breathed quickly.
Xingyue said: "When the oscillation frequency is high, the range is increased, the power is small, and the energy consumption is large. The oscillation frequency is low, the range is short, the power is high, and the energy consumption is low. You are right, Nicholas Silla is indeed a genius."
Xingyue upgraded the light blade rune fragments, reduced the size and increased performance, and then frantically installed 24 light blade rune fragments in the limited space of the sword hilt.
He manipulated the central control rune fragment to activate the sword hilt.
No response.
Zhao Chuanxin frowned: "Failed?"
Xingyue said: "No, it costs more gems."
He held the sword hilt at the same time Six stones were installed.
Scoff
24 light blades popped out at the same time, condensing into a lightsaber composed of pure light blades without any base material.
The black puppet craftsman handed the lightsaber to Zhao Chuanxin. Zhao Chuanxin waved the sword hilt, cutting the window diagonally as if it were nothing, but the glass did not fall apart or break.
After sheathing the light blade, the black puppet craftsman took the hilt, and Xingyue rearranged the light blade rune fragments.
The spine of the sword and the edge of the sword are densely packed with light, and the rest of the sword is even hollowed out.
It handed the hilt of the sword to Zhao Chuanxin: "Try again now?"
This time the chopping of the window was smoother, and the cut lines were more delicate.
Zhao Chuanxin recalled the details of the battle with the puppet soldiers and frowned: "It's really amazing to have no base. But have you ever thought about it, when the puppet soldiers' light saber came towards me, I used my lightsaber to block it. , If the opponent's light blade cuts through my light blade, wouldn't I be able to face the light blade undefended?"
"Absolutely impossible" Xingyue said confidently: "Although the old emperor controls the light. The blade rune, but he did not realize the potential of the rune. The thinking of the Old God Code World is different from that of the earth. Looking at the upgraded eyes of the old emperor and the puppet soldiers, we can tell that the direction of their evolution is the breadth of vision. It’s not focusing. The true vision crystal craftsman Jiu Huangxin collected must have polished the lenses, but he didn’t know how to combine the lenses. What he used was not a lens, at most it was just a magnifying glass.”
Zhao Chuanxin thought of Jiu. The Emperor launches a light blade with a single range, light blade power and length.
Obviously, the old emperor only accidentally mastered the vibration frequency of a certain light blade and did not even understand the principle.
And he and Xingyue completely mastered the secret of the light blade based on Nikola Tesla's ideas.
Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin was really worried, Xingyue installed 32 light blade rune fragments and eight energy gems on the hilt of the sword.
The cost of making a lightsaber was astonishing, almost wiping out Zhao Chuanxin’s family fortune.
Xingyue incorporated the elf carving knife into the back end of the sword hilt.
The lightsaber can be ejected from the front, and the elf carving knife can be ejected from the back when the lightsaber is retracted. One handle can be used for both purposes.
Zhao Chuanxin said very loyally: "This time I will let you name this new sword."
Xingyue was also polite: "Let me name the sword. "Chunguang Sword."
Chunguang Sword, such a coquettish name.
Xingyue said: "This gun can fire a light blade, which is similar to the power of the old emperor's light blade. It has a range of up to 100 meters and is indestructible. It is not affected by the wind direction and is 100% accurate within 100 meters. But the air Water vapor, dust, and particles will affect the power. A low-level azure crystal can emit 20 light blades."
Zhao Chuanxin looked out the window and saw a stone fifty meters away.
Xingyue provided the crosshair and night vision function on the glasses, and Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand to shoot.
Chi
The glasses shared the black puppet craftsman’s view after focusing the telescope. Zhao Chuanxin could clearly see that there was a hole in the depression of the fist-sized stone.
It really means hit wherever you go.
A low-level blue crystal worth 20,000 gold coins can fire 20 light blades.
The cost of this "bullet" is too high.
Xingyue said: "Take a rest for a while. After dawn, you must master the Wind God Brand and practice wind gliding. Chaos Armor, Spring Light Sword, Light Blade Spear, and Wind Gliding. You have four more "A trump card."
When Zhao Chuanxin heard the word "truck card", he thought of the Chaos Predator.
His eyes flashed: "Maybe there can be one more."
He and Xingyue talked about a new method of warfare, fire attack.
They studied until the sky was bright.
This season in Mexico is the dry season.
The sky is clear every day, the earth is dry, and the vegetation is wilting.
The rainfall in January and February is not expected to exceed 5 mm.
The landlord's sheep were so skinny that Agureida, the sheep herder, was scolded for two days and beaten for three days.
He prayed to God countless times, but God was stingy with even one drop of morning dew.
Finding that the garden light at John Constantine's house was still on, he rolled his eyes and went to knock on the door.
The door opened with a creak, and Agureida’s dirty thin face broke out into a smile: “Sir, the garden light at your home is still on. I’m just here to tell you, otherwise it will be a waste. Lamp oil."
He found that John Constantine was in high spirits, not looking like he had just gotten out of bed.
Zhao Chuanxin nodded expressionlessly: "It's okay, my family has the conditions."
"" Ajuleida sneered: "First of allSir, you are so rich. Unlike me, I can only chew a little mesquite dregs in the morning to satisfy my hunger. ”
Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and threw a big piece of pork: “Actually, I’m as pitiful as you. At this time, I can only eat big fish and meat, not even fresh fruits and vegetables.” If you can't eat, why don't you eat minced meat? "
Ajuleida opened her mouth wide: ""
Sure enough, a meat-eater is despicable, how can he ask why not eat minced meat?
But his little cleverness , and finally got him a large piece of bread, although the bread was very hard.
For poor people, food like Dalieba is not suitable for the local environment.
Ajureida said goodbye to Zhao Chuanxin happily and continued on the road with the sheep.
He heard a sound of dogs barking and the sound of horse hooves.
The sheep were frightened. Running away, Ajureida stammered and cursed with the big leba stuffed in her mouth: "Damn it, which plague-stricken person scared my sheep? ”
Then I saw a group of people, some on horseback, some on foot, and there were dogs in the team.
The man who led the horse on horseback also carried a Winchester lever on his back. Although the rifle was old, it was a good weapon imported from the United States.
Ajureida did not dare to curse and drove the sheep out of the way.
“Child, This is Qut Sharan, right? "The leading man asked condescendingly.
"Yes, where are you from? "Aquileida saw that this group of people were all men, and felt that the people who came were evil.
"My name is Feliciano Carranza, and we are from San Buenaventura. The man said in a gentle tone: "We are passers-by and want to find a place to rest." "
Aguleida breathed a sigh of relief, pointed in the direction of the white house and said: "There is no hotel in the town, but I see that Mr. John Constantine is repairing the house and installing containers. Maybe he wants to open a shop. Maybe you can try your luck and rest there. "
Feliciano Carranza nodded. Just about to tighten the reins and let the horse move forward, he suddenly turned to Aguereida and said: "My child, I think you are a knowledgeable and good boy. Do you want to get ahead? Or, are you satisfied with your current situation? ”
