【Chapter 051】 La!
"I really can't imagine that just by making the sickle bigger and the handle longer, you can harvest the crops so easily. Karrick clenched his grip on the scythe as if admiring expensive jewelry, and his eyes were full of brilliance: "Is this the knowledge of the gods?" I used to think that the bigger the scythe, the more difficult it is to use, but I didn't expect that standing up straight like this will make my arms more powerful, and it will save more energy. ”
Alice is confident in the effect of the scythe, and Carrick's admiration says it all.
"Uncle Karrick, in fact, time has been too short to be fully formed. We need to add a grip here, and a crossbar at the end, which will be easier to grip and wield. ”
Linda walked over with a short-handled scythe and sighed helplessly: "Our previous scythe was too simple. It takes at least three people to harvest at the same time to catch up with Lord Karrick. The knowledge of the gods is indeed unimaginable to mortals. ”
"Three people, three people. Karrick's mouth was chattering, and his eyes were getting brighter and brighter: "If we had enough long-handled scythes, we would save more than half of the manpower." In this way, the farmers who have spare time can pick more cotton. It's unbelievable that the autumn harvest, which seemed to me to be difficult, was solved by a scythe!"
The boulder that weighed on his heart was unloaded, and Karrick's mood suddenly relaxed, and he began to think about mass production: "Alice, we need more scythes. However, making farming tools out of Bethkar steel is too extravagant, and Blackstone Castle must be well stocked with weapons in case of the remnants of the winter orcs. I have a suggestion that we can trade some of our ordnance for gold, and then buy some inferior iron ingots from Daotanzhen, which will be sharp as long as we polish them diligently. ”
Due to the limitation of her mana recovery speed, Alice can only make about three or four handfuls a day, and most of that time is spent on shaping. She had a faint thought in her heart, since the metal has become as soft as mud, can she use a fixed utensil model to directly fill the softened metal, and just need to smooth and scrape, and then it can be cooled and formed?
Since understanding the importance of tools, Alice's thinking has changed dramatically, and she will prioritize tools before doing every job.
The idea may seem simple, but it means that Alice has a rare ability to think independently and is very groundbreaking. Just like the plasticine that children play with, using ready-made plastic molds of various shapes, it can be crimped and molded with simple filling, and the specifications are uniform. In other words, as long as Alice can make exquisite utensils, then many metal parts can be mass-produced.
"Plus, there's the right sickle handle, and I'll arrange for someone else to do it. Karrick looked at Alice and Linda with burning eyes: "Alice, you and Linda, the most important thing for you now is to learn the knowledge of the gods to your heart's content!
"Uncle Karrick, I'll do my best!"
......
The success of the long-handled curved scythe solved the greatest difficulty of the Blackstone Collar. Even in a dream, the corners of Alice's mouth curled with a smile, and the faint moonlight sprinkled on the side face, drawing a beautiful outline.
The pottery urn in the corner of the wall was empty, and since the integrity reached 5% in the afternoon, Qin Song came back sadly and found that if he wanted to stuff his body into it, the water inside would overflow.
Time is a pig-killing knife, and the pink and cute little octopus in the past has finally become a fat little fat boy, who can only choose to stay in the dark corner of the balcony.
The void and soft mist surged, and Alice searched with anticipation, this empty dream world was the place she dreamed of the most.
"Great God, I am amazed by your wisdom. ”
"Learning makes people happy, and knowledge makes people satisfied. Qin Song's voice came slowly: "Alice, I feel the joy in your heart. ”
Alice lifted the corner of her skirt with surprise on her face and saluted: "Yes, I feel happy in my studies." In your great knowledge, there is contentment. As a believer in you, I feel immense glory and pride. ”
"Alice, what you have learned is just a drop in the ocean of knowledge. Learning is like sailing on the sea, if you don't paddle hard, you will go backwards with the waves. ”
"Yes, I will take your proverbs to heart. Alice replied humbly: "Standing in front of knowledge, I see my own ignorance and insignificance. ”
"Kid, you've done a great job. Qin Song laughed, Alice was like a sensible child in front of him, and she had no doubts about the teacher's words.
Complimented by the gods, Alice's face appeared with pleasure, and her eyes were full of light.
"In the glorious civilization I witnessed, they have gone through thousands of years of knowledge accumulation before they have borne brilliant flowers of civilization. I watched them, I watched everything, and I saw not only the joy of their acquisition of knowledge, but also the hard work and the tragic price they paid in pursuit of the truth of knowledge. ”
Is it going to tell the story again? Alice's heart was full of anticipation, the story of the gods was so shocking to her, and so yearning.
"It was a nostalgic time. Thinking of his previous life, Qin Song's tone couldn't help but sigh: "In their civilization, children of your age enjoy a beautiful and comfortable life, learning knowledge carefree. ”
"Really?" Alice's eyes immediately burst into curiosity for the children of the same age in that brilliant civilization: "What is their life like?"
"They dwelt in beautiful and warm houses, dressed in beautiful dresses, ate delicious and sweet delicacies, had no hunger, no cold, sang and danced in the warm sun, and enjoyed all the happiness that knowledge brings. ”
"You...... Are you talking about the ladies of the nobility? What about the commoners?"
Alice took it for granted that it was a life that only an aristocratic lady like she could enjoy.
"No, Alice. There were no nobles and no slaves. Qin Song's brainwashing time has come: "Everyone can get a good life as long as they rely on their hands and hard work." ”
"No nobles?" came as a surprise to Alice, who was exposed to a world in which the class mentality of aristocrats, knights, freemen, and serfs was deeply rooted.
"Yes. Qin Song followed the good path: "The so-called nobles and serfs are nothing but the products of backwardness and ignorance. The shackles that shackle the development of civilization. ”
Alice was lost in thought, and with what she had seen and heard, she certainly did not see the evils of slavery. She was born an aristocratic woman, and everything seemed so taken for granted.
"This ...... This, slaves work, and nobles protect their territories and property," Alice frowned, and the theory thrown by Qin Song made her a little difficult to adapt: "Shouldn't it be like this?"
The theory that all men are equal is subversive in this world, but in fact it is impossible to achieve because there is an absolute power beyond mortals - the gods. Then it is destined to become the ultimate pattern of theocratic supremacy and equality of mortals. Witches, who serve the gods, become special beings who oversee the order of the world.
Even brainwashing has to be gradual, Qin Song is not in a hurry to deeply analyze the disadvantages of slavery, and there is no need to throw out any advanced theories, just bury a small seed and wait for it to sprout.
"Alice, kingship does not last forever, and the world does not remain static. Make good use of your eyes, your thinking, your pure and immaculate heart, to think, to summarize, in order to uncover the truth of the world. ”
While Alice closed her eyes and pondered, the mist surged in front of her, and an Alpine lollipop appeared, which was still Qin Song's favorite strawberry flavor.
If you don't send out candy, what kind of Cthulhu is.
Alice glared at a pair of curious eyes: "What is this...... Tools?"
"No, it's not a tool. Qin Song's gentle voice came: "This is a delicious candy that even the most ordinary children can eat in that civilization. ”
"Candy?" Alice's eyes lit up, "Is it made of honey and cheese?"
"Hahaha......" Qin Song's laughter came: "Enjoy this delicacy, this is also the crystallization of knowledge." ”
PS: The meme about Cthulhu-Fhatgn comes from Lovecraft's "Call of Cthulhu", which has a line: "l'a-l'a.Cthulhu-Fhatgn!" The original meaning is "Hooray, hooray, Cthulhufutan!" and then the transliteration of the moe is: "La, la, Cthulhu, sugar." ”
In addition, it is hereby stated that this novel is not strictly Cthulhu literature, it is all borrowed from the elements of the brain, please do not sit in the opposite seat.
