Chapter 131: Cloud Shadow in July 1998
Cloud Shadow in July 1998
My mother used to be a very strong woman. Even if the bicycle stand was smashed, she would not cry if she was injured and bleeds.
Later, after our family life was relatively comfortable, she seemed to be vulnerable. She would cry when she was moved by reading books or watching TV shows. Now she is crying very loudly while holding Wang Jerry. This is a cry of joy.
Wang Jierui always asked me when I could see my grandparents. I told him last month that my grandparents were coming to see him. He was very happy when I saw my grandparents. Wiping away her tears, she kissed grandma's cheek to tell her not to cry, and the little adult seemed to pat grandma on the back.
"You took good care of this child." My dad cried too, rubbing his eyes to be fair.
Ah Fu and Ana stood on the side to watch the excitement, and Wang Jerry's owl stood on Ah Fu's head, watching our family reunite happily.
I have also seen photos of my parents for Ah Fu and Ana, but they should not know my parents and introduced them. Ah Fu and Ana easily accepted my parents. After greeting them, they also enthusiastically leaned beside my parents, letting them touch their heads and necks.
Although my father and my mother had seen a manticore in their basement, they had never approached it. When Ah Fu's huge head came over, their hands were shaking, "Ah yo ah yo", and they stepped back again and again.
"Why do you keep such a big animal at home." My dad said I was fooling around. Our house was considered spacious, but this animal that is bigger than a lion is too exaggerated. We have to walk carefully and be a little careless. will touch the furniture.
My parents moved in, and the days of Afuana sleeping with us are coming to an end, but the siblings are not squeamish. It is not so much that they are willing to sleep with us, it is better to say that Wang Jerry and I cannot do without them. , two giant beasts sleep next to you, that sense of security, you are not afraid of the sky falling.
Even if Agamat is dark, it's not too early. Today, my parents will have the second bedroom on the other side of the first floor for one night, and they will vacate the master bedroom tomorrow.
Wang Jierui was very happy with my arm, and kept asking me if I could show my grandma his toys tomorrow, and if I could take my grandma and grandma to the market and swim together tomorrow.
My parents are Wang Jerry's relatives in the true sense. Before that, Wang Jerry's concept of relatives was very vague.
He knew that some children in Shanghe Village had grandparents, and he knew that he had grandparents too, but the grandparents at that time were in the photos and on the tape recorder. He had seen their appearance, he knew their voices, but never Not as real as now, being able to be held in her arms by grandma and held high.
I can feel the happiness of my son. This is the feeling of being loved by a child. He has always known very clearly that he is a loved little guy. Dad loves him, Ah Fu and Ana love him, and so do grandparents.
The next morning, Wang Jerry's endorsement was very serious. When grandma made breakfast, he showed his grandfather the multiplication formula. My dad liked it so much that he was so cute. He said that Wang Jerry was exactly as cute as I was when I was a child.
My family uses a gas stove for cooking, and there is no shortage of pots and pans, but there are no household appliances. My mother is not used to it and urged me to solve the electricity problem quickly.
I went out at noon and got my parents a night vision medicine and a hearing enhancement medicine. After they took a nap, their ears and eyes became clear. My father was cured of myopia when he drank the scar medicine before, and now he can even see it in the dark. He also sees things clearly and says that he is almost like Superman.
However, these two are still not used to the endless night of the emperor, and they all said that it was too depressing, so I had to install the generator earlier and put lights on the house.
It is normal for them not to adapt. My son often complained when I first came to the Imperial Capital with me.
My parents firmly opposed my statement. They said that I am old and adaptable, and I can see the sun normally in the opposite world every month, so I feel nothing. Wang Jerry is still a child. Sun exposure is not only bad for mental development, but also has a great impact on the body. After all, people need sun exposure to synthesize vitamin D and promote the absorption of calcium. They also say that sunlight is closely related to the secretion of melatonin. Living in a dark environment for a long time can cause metabolic disorders...
So my parents really didn't read much later.
What they said is indeed reasonable. The family in the imperial capital needs to be cleaned up and improved, but it is also urgent to take my son to live on the surface. According to my parents, the child is a flower and must thrive in the sun and rain. There is no underground. There is no sun or rain, and it is not a good choice to settle in the imperial capital.
I also understand in my heart that it’s not good to take Wang Jerry to the dark underground, but if I don’t come to the imperial capital, I won’t be able to get the space pack, and I won’t be able to bring them to this world like now, everything comes at a price , there will be gains and losses.
I dived to explore suitable locations for dam-building and power generation around the lake, and drew a lot of design drawings. Geological and hydrological factors need to be considered when building a hydropower station. The seasonal changes in water volume of underground rivers must also be taken into account. It is not something that can be done overnight. .
Julie came back twice during this period, and she told me that something was happening at the glass factory and that I needed to deal with it.
The first time it was a technical problem, I directly told the solution, and the other party was very satisfied;
the second time it had nothing to do with technology, I had to go there in person, and it was clearly stated that the officials of the Imperial Craftsmanship Department invited me, I knew that I could not escape this trip. In the past, I comforted my parents and went to the glass factory by myself.
When I went there, the glass factory was strictly protected, and the army was stationed outside, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
I was brought in, and I was greeted by the young man who had given me the pocket, and officials from the Royal Craftsmanship and Commerce Department, all of whom introduced themselves politely.
Instead of being rude or aggressive, after a few small chats, they told me that the factory was now able to produce products of commercial value, and that this transparent and clear new material caused a sensation among artisans.
Commerce officials said that after their estimation, the price of this precious substance, which can be easily processed and can be made into various shapes, can easily surpass that of many natural crystals and gemstones, especially the mirror used as an experiment, which is priceless.
The silver-plated mirror technology of glass is not complicated. The clear and bright glass mirror makes the squinting eyes of Xilianxia in the underground can't help but open their eyes to appreciate their appearance. If a mirror of life is worth thousands of gold. , I wouldn't be surprised at all.
They also know that I probably will not be the original developer of this production process, so the discussion topic mainly revolves around the degree of technology diffusion. The degree of diffusion of glass technology determines the future route of glass factory products, which is very important. It was only when he was high that he realized that no one wanted to see the situation where followers were blooming everywhere.
"I still say what I said before. There are many smart people in this world. I can't guarantee that no smart people from other countries have researched the manufacturing process of glass, but the road from my side is blocked," I said. The words are very clear: "When I chatted with you, I said that this technology can open up a whole new industry for the empire. I have never joked with you. As long as you protect the technology, this business can be done for a long time. , and no one is competing with you."
Whether it was the man on the opposite side or the officials around him, they were all delighted when they heard my guarantee. They had made many assumptions, and this was the best result.
Next, their demands are very simple. To sum up, I hope that I will promise not to spread the glass production process. If possible, admit that they have the "orthodoxy" of glass research and development. In other words, they hope to have the glass manufacturing process. intellectual property", making glass their thing.
It is not a good habit to have other people's things for yourself. When the officials of the Ministry of Commerce say that they plagiarize or even possess other people's technology, several middle-aged men and women in the craftsmanship department are too ashamed to raise their heads. This is shameless. demands, so those who make such demands in a negotiated tone cannot stand upright.
The Hellenian Empire respects knowledge and education, and their actions are despicable and shameless, but the interests of the Empire and the people are higher than personal honor, and they must make sacrifices.
In order to achieve ulterior motives, they also gave a generous price. I am 19 years old this year, and they promised me that after two years of preparatory studies, I could be recommended to study at the "Royal Military Academy of Agamat". Four I will be twenty-six years old after studying in 2009. Whether I become a civilian or enter the military, I will step into the real power class of the empire, and achieve a leap that ordinary foreigners can't imagine for generations.
They wanted me to integrate into the imperial bureaucratic faction, and I myself was willing to integrate into the imperial faction, so we both hit it off, we settled all the details smoothly, and then burned the documents that both sides agreed on.
This kind of unsightly and dirty things cannot be kept on record. Later, people will find out and say that this is a scourge. They share a common secret.
I believe that the ancient Egyptians who were the first to make glass in another world would not cross the stone gate to Agamat to condemn me. After all, I was also trying to bring a better life to my family in another world.
The agreement between me and the Ministry of Craftsmanship of the Empire enabled a series of actions to be carried out, the glass workshop was nationalized, and the glass production process is now a state secret, and it is strictly forbidden to leak.
Of course, there will be no more tongue-in-cheek tones of "glass" in the mouths of others in the future. This pure and transparent creation is named "Agamat Crystal", and it will be displayed in six top jewelry stores in the imperial capital half a month later. The sale was launched at the same time, and once it was released, it caused a sensation in the upper-class aristocratic circle of the imperial capital!
Especially the life-size Agamat crystal mirror in the largest jewelry store in the imperial capital, "Abyss Star Jewelry Store". The complex and gorgeous outer frame and the clear and clean mirror make this rare treasure reflect the true appearance of everyone. Over the years , the days when the Cyrenthians could only reflect their vague features from the water are over, and this is simply the beginning of a new era!
On the other hand, due to his achievements in killing werewolves, treating the wounded, and assisting in treasure hunting on the front line, the young and promising young master Cain was received by the imperial marshal and the royal family respectively, and was awarded the surname "Saul", becoming the twenty-eighth of the Helenthia Empire. A member of the aristocracy, and won the "black gold" title.
According to the framework of a feudal empire in another world, my current title is roughly equivalent to the "Baron" in "The Duke and Uncle Man". Judging from the total number of tiers in the Hillencia Empire, my title is the seventh. Between the eighth level, although there are not fiefs or fiefs like the fourth level, but there are all the privileges that one should have, and the small days will be very nourishing.
The owner behind the store I invested in is the imperial family. I knew this from the beginning. Luminina introduced me to buy medicines at his house because she had a relationship with the owner of the store. It's not that I didn't use my brain, and people who aren't royal can't pick up my hot potato.
After this entanglement of interests, I have climbed the high branch of the imperial aristocracy, and the royal family also has a path, and the path can be said to be wider and wider.
When I was away, my parents took care of Wang Jerry. They took care of Wang Jerry, and they couldn't help but care about my sister. They knew they wouldn't delay taking care of my sister, but that anxiety couldn't be eliminated. They sighed a lot.
Before the end of the month, the location of the power station will be selected, and we will sacrifice the noisy little waterfall for a safe and comfortable small hydropower station.
I started to use my super power to move rocks and gather dams. My parents rowed a boat to deliver meals to me at the meal point. They could have come here on Nga Wang, but they were not used to being close to the dinosaur-like Nga Wang, and insisted on rowing to supervise my work. .
When grandparents came over, Wang Jerry couldn't swim as he wanted. In the past, as long as Ah Fu or Ana was with him, I allowed him to jump into the lake and swim. Now he can only swim under the supervision of grandparents. He is not allowed to dive or leave his children. The wharf was too far, and he had to be kept under control.
I can’t run barefoot on the island, nor can I go shirtless. I have to sit and sit while eating. A few days ago, before going to bed, Wang Jerry asked me if I could go to the dam with me. Don't let him do it.
