Chapter 124: Cloud Shadow in February 1998
Cloud Shadow in February 1998
Four people came during the transaction, and there were also a group of valet. The drugstore owner was the most inconspicuous one. Among the other three people was a tall and sturdy young Helencia with a serious expression. The two older people next to him. Everyone respected him.
Everyone didn't talk too much, they looked at the technology I could provide, and if I could really smelt crystal dust into colorless and transparent crystals, then they would give me what I wanted.
I didn't do it myself, but directed their two workers to operate the operation. I also asked them to prepare the materials according to the list I gave. I didn't plan to hide it at all.
I will direct them to demonstrate on the spot. If they can't give me what I want and want to steal it, then I am sure that none of you here will be able to leave. I have this confidence.
Under normal circumstances, a furnace or a kiln is required to smelt glass. This kind of thing is unnecessary in the underground filled with lava rivers. The blazing magma is a natural heating device, and it is not uncommon for high-temperature refractories in the imperial capital.
Both workers were wearing thick gloves and face shields, and in fact even if I didn't tell them they knew that inhalation of crystal dust could cause throat and lung discomfort, and they were very obedient.
According to my instructions, sodium carbonate and calcium oxide were added to the crystal dust in proportion. I spent a lot of time trying to get them to find these two things. If you want the crystal glass to be shiny, you can also add lead oxide to increase the softness. But considering that the medicine bottle is loaded into the mouth, it is excluded.
The mixture is carefully poured into the heat-resistant crucible, the gate is opened, and the scorching lava flows in the heat-resistant stone tank and begins to heat the crucible.
It is unimaginable that these people dare to face the scalding magma at close range without even the blindfold.
Standing three meters away, I could feel the churning heat wave, but the workers and bystanders didn't care. They squinted at the crucible with thin lines, watching the contents slowly melt.
The stirring began. Two workers squeezed the heat-resistant rod and slowly stirred the red liquid to make the glass melt uniform and remove the air bubbles. Pure salt was also added in the command.
After the long stirring time, part of the glass melt is poured into the rough mold and waiting to cool, while the other part and the glass melt are concentrated at the end of a hollow tube, and while rotating, the worker blows air into the tube. , the combined effect of air pressure and gravity made this crappy container appear in front of people's eyes, and everyone was amazed.
The last glass melt is poured into a vat of gold melt. The glass is much less dense than gold. It floats on the surface of the denser gold melt, gradually flattened over time, and then cooled to obtain a large piece of round glass. flat.
It was supposed to use tin, but I couldn't find it for a while. Besides, gold is relatively easy to obtain here, and its melting point is low enough, so it has become a substitute for tin.
I also told them the taboo that the glass should not be disturbed by dust and water droplets when cooling, after all, the cool material will burst the glass when it touches the hot glass.
"This is how glass is made. Three different cooling methods allow you to make glass objects for different purposes. The subsequent methods will be developed by yourself," I watched with satisfaction as the workers erected the pure glass plates, transparent Behind the glass is the scorching light of the molten river.
The young man had a serious expression, and the two old men whispered beside him for a long time.
"Are you an alchemist?" he asked me after some hesitation.
"Alchemist?" I hadn't heard the word before, and I didn't think of its meaning at first.
"Alchemists can use magic and secret techniques to convert one substance into another, turning decay into a miraculous creator." The bald old man next to him explained to me.
"I'm not," I spread my hands. "Maybe the person who invented this formula is."
"This formula of yours is far beyond our imagination." The young man said.
"So I'm also waiting for a return that exceeds my imagination."
I know very well how powerful the glass formula is. With this thing, the Empire of Cylenia is equivalent to having a hen that lays golden eggs, which will bring immeasurable benefits. Wealth is the most important weapon of the country.
"...How do we know that you won't give the recipe to someone else?" The young man's expression was gloomy, and at the same time, the guards from the original periphery all walked in, waiting for orders.
"You don't know," I also narrowed my eyes: "Handsome guy, don't you think that you are the only one who will win?" I said that I didn't give the formula to the Alba family, but chose to do business with them, someone with a long brain You all know that I have trust.
"You're bluffing!" he snorted coldly.
"I'm really not bluffing," I laughed unbridled: "Maybe you want to try what kind of stick I have?"
"...Forget it." The young man laughed.
"Wise choice!" I nodded, and I had no time to tell him any nutritious nonsense: "My space bag."
The young man took off a small bag from his waist and talked to the person next to him. After saying a few words, the person next to him trotted to the side to fish out a lot of things from the bag and put them on the open space, and then trotted and handed the bag to him.
The drugstore owner was willing to run errands and brought the bag over and put it in my hand.
"I'll give you my bag, Bafang Space, the registered one, and take it with me to go through the transfer procedures," the man said angrily, "Are you satisfied?"
"I'm very satisfied, a close-fitting bag for I really don't mind?" I shook the bag in my hand, it was a very thick little bag with a buckle, and it was very textured in my hand.
The man didn't say a word, turned around with a light snort, and had a good temper.
I don't know who he is, and I don't want to know who he is. Being able to carry a space bag with me can't be an ordinary person, but so what?
It seems that he originally prepared a very frustrating space bag for me, or he didn't prepare a space bag at all, and was going to blackmail me, but after seeing the glass making process, he changed his mind and gave his own space bag to I didn't turn my back on me.
His choice was wise, it was good for him and me, he got the glass recipe, and the future was bright, and I not only got the space pack, but also didn't have to leave the new house that I just packed up because of the slaughter of the nobles of Cylencia and fled overnight. , which is a win-win.
The manufacture of glass is not that simple. In the future, they need me to go to more places. It is the shortest choice to turn my face with me. Fortunately, their IQ is still online.
Playing with the space bag and riding Ah Fu home, Ah Fu couldn’t climb the steep slope, so we had to make a lot of detours to go out in the imperial capital, because the huge Longshan monitor lizard like Ah Wang can climb The rock wall is even more convenient than Ah Fu.
I can't even believe that the small leather bag in front of me is the legendary space bag. Its volume is eight directions. Converted to cubic meters, it is about 27 cubic meters, which is about three meters in length, width and height, which is far more than I started. expectations.
The leather bag, which is not much bigger than a slap, can't see anything in darkness after opening it, and there is no discomfort after reaching out.
The space bag is a magic item. When you carry it around, the user will gradually form a mental link with it, and you can feel the location of the items in the bag. After you are skilled, as long as you think about something in the bag, you can reach out and fish it out. come out.
The exquisitely crafted small bag hangs around my waist. It would be a lie to say that I am not happy. I can finally carry everything I want with me. From now on, it will be much more convenient to carry things between the two worlds.
I didn't think about whether the space bag would fail when I took it to the opposite world. It's impossible. My superpowers and magic potions have not failed. There is no reason for the space bag to fail. Shutting back and forth on both sides of the stone gate will really make it "enhanced", so will the "space package" be strengthened? Will it get bigger and bigger?
Hahaha, I'm so greedy!
When I got home, I couldn't put it down with the space bag in my arms. This space bag is well made and has a very beautiful shape. It can be called a work of art. I don't know what kind of leather is used.
The space inside the space bag is almost the same as the outside. I commanded the sand to drill into the space bag to explore around, and I could feel the obvious wall-like structure, but as long as the entrance of the space bag is opened, the inside feels the same as the outside world.
But this is worthy of a magical equipment. Once the entrance of the space bag is closed, the traces of the previous space will disappear completely. I control the sand and can't get into the closed space bag, as if the space in the space bag disappears and does not exist. .
I don't know much about space bags. I only know that space bags are made of the crystal core of some kind of magical creature. They have independent spaces inside. Living things can be put into space bags. As long as there is enough air, even small space bags can Let people hide in it.
I definitely don't dare to experiment with the space bag in my hand to pretend to be Alfred or my son.
I have always had a question in my mind, I know that any creatures in the opposite world that I carry in the past will die, except myself, so, will the space package known as "independent space" be affected?
If I put the animal in the space bag, and then take the space bag to the opposite world and take it out, will it die?
This idea lingers in my mind. In fact, I had a similar idea when I first heard about the existence of the space package, but at that time the space package was too far away from me, and I couldn’t get in touch with it at all.
When I was shopping at the market in front of my house, I saw a hawker in the lizard butterfly. The little lizard with luminous wings is very common in the wild of the Eternal Night Promenade. It is very small and feeds on some mushrooms and small insects on the moss. Flying around like a firefly is very beautiful.
Those in the cage that are bigger than a palm are not wild species. The hawker said that they are all specially bred pets after a long period of time. They have wide wings and gorgeous glowing patterns. They know how to get close to their owners and can make them with starch and meat. The lizards feed on food and are very popular pets.
Dusk Butterfly Lizards are docile and smart. Not only can they communicate with their owners, but they can also learn a lot of tricks. They are usually quiet and not noisy, so many Xilenian families will keep a few Dusk Light Butterfly Lizards at home. Or in the courtyard, they are small pets that do not need too much care.
The little lizards with wings are clean and have no body odor. They will consciously bury their excrement in the gravel, so even if some people keep a dozen or 20 at home, there will be no odor, as long as they don't mind the scales that fall off their wings. Pink, they are really perfect and simple pets.
It is very spectacular when a group of Duoguang butterfly lizards dance quietly. I heard that some circuses in the imperial capital have performances of Duoguang butterfly lizards. Duoguang butterfly flows in the air like a river of light, forming various patterns, which is very exciting. Worth watching.
The hawker said that the lifespan of wild twilight butterfly lizards from young lizards to adult lizards is about 1,600 days, but domestic pet species can generally live two or three thousand days if they are well cared for, which is about seven to nine years.
The young Duoguang butterfly lizards are very small, their wings are not fully developed, and they cannot fly. The wild species generally begin to flap their small wings for short distance gliding in about three months. The left and right wings are fully developed, and they are also sexually mature, and they can generally lay four to six eggs after fertilization.
Wild male and female twilight butterfly lizards will take care of the young lizards for about three months, and they will leave when the young lizards can glide and prey. It takes more than a month to be able to glide proficiently, and domestic butterfly lizards generally take care of their children for more than eight months before they are willing to let the baby out of the nest.
Pet Dusk-light butterfly lizards have lived with the Xilenian people for generations, and their predation ability has degenerated. Basically, they can be considered non-aggressive. They will guard the door and attack intruders with the scales of their wings and their own small claws, but only That's all, due to the need for a large amount of high-quality nutrients to provide development in childhood, pet butterfly lizards can hardly rely on predation to feed their offspring in the wild, so they cannot return to the wild, and in most cases can only rely on humans for life.
I bought a male and a female Duoguang butterfly lizard. The hawker recommended me to buy young lizards. The price is cheap and adaptable, and it is easy to cultivate feelings, but I still chose the adult butterfly lizard that is already able to fly.
I not only bought the pellets of the butterfly lizard, but also bought some live bugs. These little insects are fat and fat like a mouse woman, and they are the food that the butterfly lizard likes. The hawker said that regular intake of live food will help brighten the butterfly. The sheen of the lizard wings pattern.
I came home with the cage of the butterfly lizards, my heart beating so fast.
The time when I got the space bag was approaching the end of the month. The stone gate opened within two days. I was a little nervous. I put the butterfly lizard cage and worm box frozen in time into the space bag, and then carried a large bag and a small bag across the stone door. .
The stone gate slammed shut, and time resumed its flow. I sat on the bed in the bedroom shaking hands and reached into the space bag and took out the cage. I looked at the butterfly lizard flapping its wings, and then at the bug crawling in the box, forgetting to breathe.
Be nice! !
