Chapter 111: Cloud Shadow in October 1997
Cloud Shadow in October 1997
I am really a waste. I have come to Shanghai, a metropolis full of unlimited opportunities. I still can’t think of a good way to make money. I am backing Jinshan and thinking about how to beg for food.
I still have a lot of gold, enough to buy a house in Shanghai with full money, but I always hope to have a reasonable and long-lasting source of income, just like the canteen in my county town, which can give me some sense of security.
Maybe I should go to rent a shop, specializing in handicrafts, focusing on crystal sculptures. It is not an exaggeration to describe the treasures I have made now as "beautiful" and "ingenious", and it should not be a problem to sell one for thousands of dollars... ...I'm studying by myself, I don't have time to look at the store, I need to hire someone to be a salesperson, and I don't trust outsiders.
This becomes a dead end.
Alright, alright, let's take a long-term view and see if there's a better way in the future.
I have no pressure on raising Liang Jiangbo, so I don't care about raising another Yang Chen. Yang Chen's living expenses are now "sponsored" by me. I give him money for food and clothing, and I ask him to go to class obediently, even if he doesn't understand You can't skip classes, you can't fail a course, you need to get a diploma.
This is already a very low requirement, but it is still very rare for that kind of cripple. After struggling repeatedly, he accepted my outrageous request, obediently went to class, and listened to the scriptures with white eyes.
In fact, there was news from his family that he was asked to go back to Beijing. After the accident at home, there were many things to be dealt with, but he didn't go back. As he said, is there anything he can intervene in? He's just a bastard who doesn't know anything.
He was not surprised that I knew about his current predicament. No one was stupid, and it would be boring to expose it. On the contrary, it would be much easier to leave a little leeway.
This month has been spent in the entanglement of various complicated emotions. It was not until the stone gate was opened at the end of the month that those confusing or distressing emotions gradually dissipated and transformed into the joy of holding my son in my arms again.
The "Weiyue" in the sky is very bright, and the junction of the ocean, the forest and the snow-capped mountains is faintly discernible. According to some Gotham legends, their ancestors once visited the Weiyue, where there is rich land and beautiful fairies.
Some people also say that Weiyue is the residence of the gods. They overlook the earth from the sky, monitor the every move of the believers, and are always ready to impose divine punishment on the unbelievers.
Helencia also has stories about Weiyue, but most of them are negative. In their stories, Weiyue is the cage where the devil was born. Every few decades, a huge black shadow will cover Weiyue, and the sky will bloom. The blood and tears of the gods, all things wither.
I lost interest in those stories that had no beginning and no end after I tried to sort them out a little, they were so disjointed, and sometimes the two stories contradicted themselves and could hardly find anything in common, maybe I'd settle for myself after settling down Get the astronomical telescope to observe, rather than hearsay as it is now.
Our team walked into the mountains a few days ago, and now we have been traveling along the winding mountain road. The caravan would stop outside the small villages and towns to do business, and the transport team also had to replenish supplies. I could also take my followers to those villages and towns to meet the world and replenish some food.
The same mess, the same low and backward thatched huts, we have come so far, and people's lives seem to be no different.
In the middle of the month we approached a large town with a population of thousands at the foot of the mountain like a curved crescent. The crops have been harvested this season, but they can be seen protecting the vast expanse with solid stone walls. farmland.
There is no doubt that this is a rich town, as can be seen from the ancient castle that is full of traces of time in the town.
Lanze said that our town near Luhe Village is even bigger and more spectacular than this one. The rich old man there wears and uses very different things from ordinary people.
I asked him if he wanted us to go to the river village? He shook his head again and again, nowhere could compare to Shanghe Village. If I hadn't left, he would be willing to live in Shanghe Village for the rest of his life.
Lanzer didn't ask me why I stopped showing my supernatural powers, and so did our war correspondent Julie, who was keen to take pictures and handed me the film properly, but she wouldn't ask me for pictures, she knew we were There is no condition for developing photos, but she believes in me very much, and believes that one day in the future, I will take out a large bag, which is full of stacks and stacks of all the bits and pieces she has photographed.
I think I have practiced marksmanship for a while, but my level is not enough compared to the active soldiers. In their eyes, I am barely considered a relatively strong militiaman. Maybe I can fight with the little thieves, but It is unreliable to go to the battlefield, only those who have been trained and have seen blood on the edge of the knife can do it.
My polite appearance and the status of "aristocratic young master" make people around me subconsciously think that I am a weak chicken who lacks combat effectiveness, and I do not refute them.
It's getting colder, and I insist on riding a wolf every day. Now I'm getting used to it. The inner thighs are frayed and the skin is crusted. Now I'm almost better. There are no calluses, but my skin is firmer than before. .
I also ride leopard spiders, and the speed is faster and more refreshing, but because of my size, the comfort has always been poor. Cylenians are generally less than 1.7 meters in length. I am more than one size older than them. A proper leopard spider I always feel tied down when I ride it.
I hope one day I can go to what they call "Gondonia". The Cylenthia leopard spiders are great at their speed, while the old rival Gondonia leopard spiders are not known for their speed, their size and size Strong bodies are their capital. The knights of Hylenthia are reluctant to admit it, but in fact, their old neighbor and old enemy Gondonia is the country of origin of the leopard spider knight
. The big guy who can rampage into the enemy's line is very interested, and I believe that the great leopard spider of Gondonia must be more suitable for me.
As we got more familiar with it, we talked about more topics. I also learned that the leopard spider knight in Cylencia has just started. It has been less than 20 years since it was added to the military. It is a very new special force.
A middle-aged man said that leopard spiders used to be everywhere, and they were very spectacular in groups on the Huangling Stone Wilderness, and now they are about to be killed.
"Yellow stone" is a kind of gemstone produced around Xilenia, which can not only make exquisite jewelry, but also a widely used forging material. Among its finished products, the most famous one is "Silencia steel" Or "Steel of the Sky", which is a magical weapon that cuts iron like mud. In recent years, there have been frequent wars around the surrounding area. The mines that mine yellow rhombus are blooming in the wilderness. The habitat of the leopard spider has been severely damaged. The mercenaries are sweeping the wilderness day after day. Not seen again after decades.
When I listened to them, I also thought it was a pity. In order to cherish the memory of the poor leopard spiders, I exchanged the leopard spider shell comb inlaid with yellow diamond with the stone comb inlaid with crystals that I treasured.
The processed leopard spider shell is a bit like a tortoiseshell, but the color is more colorful, with a sapphire-like texture, very warm and thick, and the three bright yellow gems the size of peas on the top are shining in the light because of the fine orange-yellow crystal lines in the crystal. The fire color that I have never seen before is really beautiful, even if it is only the middle and lower quality of Huang Lingshi, it makes me reluctant to look away for a long time.
The stone in my hand has no secrets in front of me. The same is true for this gem called "Yellow Stone". The tiny crystal tube containing the ferric compound inside gives it its magnificent golden color. The material is very special, I don't even know it.
Not aluminum oxide, not calcium sulfate, not silicon dioxide, not calcium carbonate... I pinched the comb and pondered for a long time, and I was barely able to confirm that it contained a trace amount of zirconia, but there was a large part of it that I never knew about. encountered.
I was reluctant to take it apart and damaged it, for fear of changing its appearance, so I asked the officer again, and he told me that the inferior yellow rhodochrosite slag would be smelted and processed. , can greatly improve the performance of weapons and armor, and the value of pure metal extracted from Huang Lingshi is immeasurable.
The weapon cast by "Steel of the Sky" cuts iron like mud, but it is extremely light. At first glance, I almost thought he was talking about titanium, but it is not that I don't know titanium. I asked someone to get titanium compounds from the school laboratory. I got it, it's not like that.
All in all, I'm not sure if I've discovered a substance or metal that doesn't exist in the opposite world. If so, then this is a surprising discovery, and I have to re-examine what the hell I've been living in.
Most of the Cylencia people have the habit of wearing yellow diamonds. They believe that this gemstone can bring luck. Low-quality yellow diamonds are very affordable and can be worn by ordinary people. I use my own crystal jewelry from another. A soldier got a yellow diamond pendant around his neck in exchange.
My ability enables me to control the limited transformation of matter with my own willpower on a small scale. The high temperature, high pressure or catalyst required for chemical reactions is not necessary in my eyes. As long as it is feasible, then I can stare It's just a matter of how much energy it takes to make it happen.
I know very well that if my powers grow steadily like this, one day I'll be able to watch a match make it burn - it's just the simplest redox reaction, and there's no reason why I can't.
Of course, I haven't been able to do that magical thing yet, but the control of mineral transformation has basically been achieved in my hands. I myself can't quite tell how the reaction goes, blowing away the useless residue, I extracted a small piece of strange metal from a beautiful pendant like amber.
This small piece of metal is only the size of a mung bean, with a bluish-purple metallic luster. Its hardness is similar to what they say, stronger than steel, and it is frighteningly light. I know very well that the specific gravity of titanium is 4.506g/cm? It is 2.7g/cm², and this thing in my hand, after a rough test, is about less than half of aluminum, about 1.3g/cm², heavier than sodium, lighter than magnesium, does not react with water, in the air It also cannot be ignited, and its chemical properties are quite stable.
I made a little blade out of this little pea and attached it to a metal rod, so I got a little carving knife with a thin edge that can cut stone into rubble It can fly, but the wear of the blade is almost negligible, and its toughness is at least three times that of tungsten steel.
This is simply a monster.
I have no doubt that there is no such metal element in the opposite world, because if it exists, it is impossible that no one has mentioned it.
The Cylenians extracted this metal to cast weapons. According to my guess, the alloy made by merging with iron should be more widely used. Otherwise, due to the properties of this metal, the processing difficulty will be beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The cylenians call this metal "steel of the sky", they say it is as light as a feather, they are not bragging, weapons forged with this material do have very little weight, but in my understanding the weight of the weapon itself It is also a part of its power. Although "Hilencia Steel" is tough, it will be very disadvantageous when confronted with heavy weapons. Is it possible that someone can really wield the steel long knife of the sky to cut the opponent's weapon together with others. two halves?
Whoops! Who knows?
I only know that I have discovered something amazing. If I go to Shilencia, I must go to the Yellowstone Wilderness. I need to know what kind of landform is rich in this strange metal element. Does it come from a meteorite that fell from outer space, or has it existed in the earth beneath our feet since ancient times?
