Chapter Eighty-Five: Broken Crystals and Whole Crystals
The aunt smiled a little embarrassedly, and explained helplessly: "This ice maker has actually broken for the fourth time in this week. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info From the first day of school, after each opening for a while, the upper pins will be broken and shattered by the pressure inside, and then the cabinet door will be opened. ”
With that, the aunt showed Leah the scene in front of her.
The only socket on the side of the cabinet door above had been broken by some powerful impact. The socket has a small cross-section, which is neat but has a unique texture of rough grains, and at the same time, the edges are irregularly shaped. There should probably be a continuation on the side, so that the buckle can be spliced completely. Judging by the shape and notch of the remnants, it can barely be seen that it is a buckle lock, which is the function of closing the door with the cabinet.
"This buckle is old and bad these days. I was just packing the ingredients in front. If you don't pay attention, it breaks, and it's been like this several times. The aunt wandered around for a while, and picked up a soft transparent rubber ring from nowhere.
She said as she cleaned it: "The upper part of the ice maker is used to make large solid ice. What I hold in my hand is what I use to keep the water out of it. Ay...... Every time the lock breaks, it washes away, causing the freezer door to be unable to completely isolate the incoming water. ”
As soon as Aunt said this, Leah understood, and it was no wonder that when she first met Auntie, she didn't show much tiredness. It is precisely for this reason that the water continues to flow out of it, and without a software tool that is completely waterproof, it cannot play a suitable role in blocking the flow.
"Auntie, why don't you turn off the main valve?" asked Leah, who thought for a moment. When she came just now, she found that the aunt was supporting herself in front of the cabinet, and if her expression was relaxed, she could also close the main door of the water flow. Although more water will flow out of the cabinet in a meeting, and closing the main door will not stop what happened afterwards?
The aunt was stunned for a moment, and then she understood the meaning: "Oh, little girl, you don't understand this." This machine uses an ice-based magic crystal! The method of closing the water gate, which is what I did when it first happened! Do you know what happened?"
Leah shook her head, she didn't know what was going on at that point, so she was a little curious.
"At that time, I immediately remembered that if I went to close the main door, wouldn't I be able to stop the water source of this cabinet immediately? As a result, guess what? As soon as I released the cabinet door, the magic crystal placed inside instantly became wrong, and the water inlet pipe of this cabinet was directly frozen and exploded!"
"You know, there is still a main water pipe to the second floor buried next to it! As a result, such an explosion almost stopped the water on the second floor, if it weren't for the secondary inlet on the second floor. Otherwise, the students in the lower and middle divisions would have to go out to eat that day!"
The aunt turned around, sighed, forgot about the unpleasantness not long ago, and said with concern as she walked: "Little girl, your clothes are also wet, right? Hurry up and change them, and I'll help you dry them." You'll be going to class with your employer in the afternoon. ”
For the person who helped her turn off the water, the aunt would not let go of these small details. Others helped her, so she naturally had to deal with the other party's aftermath. She was wearing high water shoes, and the water just now didn't reach the upper, so she didn't need to change them. She also had a lot of wet clothes on her body because of the timely handling of the freezer and the apron.
"Well, no need, auntie! just dry yourself in this weather. Leah agreed. Although the aunt is old, she doesn't have the enchanting charm of a woman, but the other party is still a woman!
"Oh, really, why are you so ignorant. Auntie couldn't help but complain a little, she thought it was Leah shy. She thought about it for a moment and found a suitable way to continue: "You can't be afraid of trouble and shyness. Recently, the weather has been changeable, and my clothes are wet and drained, and I am prone to catching colds. You just go for a walk, go to the changing room to change your clothes, and put on your work clothes first. ”
The aunt said as if in mediation, took out a set of work clothes from the counter where she changed clothes, and handed it to Leah. Leah, who was worried that it was the women's clothes and the aunt personally helped her change her clothes, took a look and found that it was just an ordinary white overalls, so this time she was not entangled. At ease, she simply entered the dressing room, took off her robe, and changed into dry clothes.
For Leah, the overalls are still much larger, even if they are the smallest. The large long hem was left outside, and the shortest five-point pants also covered most of Leah's legs. But when she put it on, she had a comfortable expression. This outfit is not at all different from the robe, the lower part of the robe is loose, but the upper part is still a little tight. And this overalls are completely hollow in front and back, and they are very comfortable.
"Okay, well, the clothes are still a little oversized. The aunt squatted down and carefully rolled up Leah's extra cuffs, revealing her slender and tender arms. This method not only makes it easier for Leah's own arms to be disturbed by her clothes, but also prevents the extra cuffs from getting dirty.
The aunt puts Leah's changed robe and shoes into the machine to wash and dry. The shoes Leah is wearing now are waterproof shoes, but they are too big to walk on.
After tidying up Leah's whole body, the aunt gave a few words of advice, and walked outside to get ready to start work.
Leah was a little twisted by her aunt's tidying up. But after the aunt left, she still followed to check what the aunt wanted to do.
After the soft partition was cleaned by the aunt, it was hung on the wall, and now it no longer drips water. After wiping it with a dry cloth, the aunt opened the door of the freezer and put this compartment into the inner ring of the freezer.
Then she looked at the freezer with a frown. Apparently, she had a bit of a problem.
"Auntie, do you want to use this freezer?" asked Leah as she walked over to the freezer, touched the clasp lock, and asked.
The latch had a flat cross-section, and the cabinet was made entirely of metal, without special tools, and Leah felt that it was not so easy to recover.
"yes. This freezer is a machine for making drinks at noon...... Not to mention, my drink is a bestseller, and those students in the lower department like to eat the drink here. That's why I have to go to the cafeteria early every day to prepare this drink. ”
After the aunt finished speaking, she sorted out the cabinet and some sundries on the side. Perhaps affected by the previous times, most of the clutter on the side has been treated, and there are no items that are easy to get wet in the lower part.
As someone else's clothes are dressed, Leah also helps with tidying up. Idle is idle anyway.
The cafeteria is paved with a thin, single-row drain, which is a floor drain, so the water flows out very quickly. Moreover, the floor is made of two layers of partitions with raised points, plus some additional non-slip mats for the passage, so it is not very slippery even after flooding.
After tidying up the collapsed debris and wiping the table floor, the aunt repaired the ice maker.
There is a cabinet door on the top of the ice maker, which is the part where the lock is broken. The lower part is a hollowed-out part, with only grooves in the insulated walls, and no shelves. The lower part is also a hollow design, with no furnishings on the inside, and a water-proof baffle near the outside, which seems to have been placed to block the flow of water from the inside.
The color of the freezer is silvery-white, ordinary, only half a person high. This cabinet is quite miniature and is placed on a table, not directly on the floor. For the operation of this machine, as long as she bends down slightly, she can touch a few buttons on the side.
The aunt held the freezer in place with one hand to keep it from falling, and she bent down and reached through the groove in the lower part of the freezer. After fumbling for a while, I only heard two "clicks", which were the sound of the buckle being released. Hearing these two sounds, the aunt exhaled, and then stretched out her hand back.
She opened the upper door and reached inside.
After a while, just like just now, I heard two crisp sounds. Auntie stretched out her hand back. It's just that at this time, she has another thing in her hand.
It was a palm-wide metal disc, tightly sealed, with grooved strips on the surface that seemed to be embedded in the wall. On the reverse side, there is a concave hole in the center, shaped like a funnel. Big Mom skillfully fiddled with the metal plate for a while. Soon, the metal plate was dismantled by the aunt again.
The thick metal shell of the outer part is removed, and the central part of it is a thin square piece of metal. The surrounding area is carved with dense patterns. There is no engraved quest pattern in the center. Of course, it wasn't empty, and instead of the central part of the pattern, there was an ice-blue hedron embedded in it.
The spar is still a bit of an impression for Leah. This type of spar seems to be at a relatively ordinary price point. The hedrons on the first floor of the Crystal Shop.
They are not very transparent on the inside, and they have a lot of colored impurities, which is not a very good looking gemstone. And the spar in front of him is exactly like this, which contains a lot of miscellaneous dots. Although for some, the colored star dot is also a pretty good variety.
The aunt pinched the spar and moved. This hedron was stripped off smoothly.
This hedron has a noticeably small notch. Is there a notch in the hedrons?
This is where Leah is strange. In her impressions and conversations, all she remembered was that the spar was an irregular transparent stone, and although the spar would have sunken or protruding parts, as well as various strange appearances, it would not appear any gaps.
It's like this little part of the place in front of you. There is a very small gap, as small as poking it out with a toothpick, but just this little bit can make the attention of outsiders focus on such an imperfect place.
"No matter what kind of crystal it is, as long as it is broken, or it is broken, it is not called a crystal, it is called a broken crystal. Auntie muttered.
Looking at Leah's puzzled expression, the aunt couldn't help but continue to explain.
After all, when she first met the other party, she knew that the girl in front of her was an attendant of a certain family. Of course, I don't understand a lot of knowledge, even the most ordinary thing: "The crystal must be complete in order to have a stable attribute power output." In normal times, although the operation of the machine or human use will have a certain amount of wear and tear on the crystal, it will not affect it if it is too subtle. ”
"However, if the crystals are damaged by a strong impact, or by some special cause. Then, after the extra force causes the crystal to break, the place where it can be used is completely different. ”
"A broken crystal, even if it is of the same quality and of the same grade, is less than one-fifth of the original crystal price, and even the lowest price comparison is only one-twentieth!" The aunt shook her head: "The attribute power output of the broken crystal is not as good as the attribute power output of the whole crystal, and the output is unstable, so it is naturally not favored." ”
"Uh-huh. Leah listened from the side. She had to wait for her clothes to dry anyway, so she listened to her aunt's words, echoed beside her, and passed the time.
"Of course, there is a lot of knowledge in this crystal, but I'm just a staff member in the cafeteria, and the rest is not very clear. Auntie said with a smile as she cleaned the stains on the metal plate.
