119. "Thin as a cicada's wings"
Ren Xiaoyao looked at the young silkworm that was sleeping and was speechless. Hundreds of young silkworms stayed on the virtual transparent level of space, motionless on a few tender mulberry leaves. Suddenly, Ren Yao's inspiration flashed, and a thought flashed through his mind.
The corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and sent a message to Space, asking him to use a bowl with a little spring water. When sorting out the storage ring just now, Ren Xiaoyao forgot to leave the porcelain bowl in the ring and had to let the space be delivered.
Now there is only a large amount of fruit and a small amount of wood and iron hall in the ring, and all that remains is the universal knife, shovel, and hoe that Ren Yao often uses, and these farming tools left by the farmer on the fairy farm.
After a while, a little "white spot" fell from the sky above the space, and a porcelain bowl appeared, and the porcelain bowl flew into Ren Yao's hand on its own. Ren Xiaoyao looked at the pale green spring water in the bowl, looked back at the young silkworm in front of him, and smiled weirdly.
I saw Ren Xiaoyao stretch out one of the fingers of his right hand, dip a little light green spring water into the porcelain bowl, and put his fingers on the young silkworm on the tender mulberry leaves, and slowly, the fingers stained with the spring water dripped a small amount of spring water, dripping on the young silkworm and the tender mulberry leaves.
The moment the spring falls on the mulberry leaves, because the mulberry leaves are not contaminated with the soil, they do not become a five-year-old mulberry tree; However, the young silkworms have changed dramatically. I saw that when the young silkworms were contaminated with the spring water, the spring water flashed a pale green light, and the young silkworms who were originally sleeping drank the spring water independently.
The young silkworms who had drunk the spring water seemed to be overly excited, and quickly ate the remaining mulberry leaves. And the young silkworms no longer have the false sleep situation just now, but keep squirming their bodies.
Ren Xiaoyao saw the "moving" silkworms, and seemed extremely excited, using his spatial ability to pick a large number of mulberry leaves and put them next to hundreds of young silkworms, the young silkworms were like locusts during the locust plague. Everywhere they passed, all the mulberry leaves were eaten up and eaten, and the young silkworms ate bulging before they stopped.
As time passed, Ren Xiaoyao kept looking at the young silkworms in front of him, and he knew that although the spring water would change very drastically when it was with the plants and the soil, if it was separated from the soil, it would look similar to ordinary water, just a little green.
And Ren Xiaoyao knows that spring water is good for plants, but it also has an effect on living things, because he tried it once last time. When I didn't know the effect of the spring water before, I accidentally ate some spring water, and the guide was extremely excited and very irritable all day, as if he had taken a stimulant.
So Ren Xiaoyao grasped these two points, let the silkworm baby become so excited and irritable as he was at the beginning, accelerate the growth of the silkworm, and try to let it grow to the fifth stage as soon as possible, so that it can form a cocoon.
Silkworm age, also known as age, indicates that the silkworm baby is in a certain stage of development. From the ant silkworm (newborn silkworm) to the first molt for the first instar; After sleeping, it enters the second age; After molting again, it enters the third instar; After the third molt, it enters the fourth instar, and the fourth molt is also known as the big sleep. After sleeping, it enters the fifth instar, and the fifth-in-star silkworm baby grows extremely fast, with a body length of up to 6~7cm and a weight of about 10,000 times the weight of the ant silkworm.
Correspondingly, the first instar of silkworms is four to five days; 3 to 4 days for the second instar; three years and four days; four years and six days; 7 to 9 days at 5 years of age; Pupal stage 14 to 18 days; The moth period is three to five days.
I don't know how long it has been, Ren Xiaoyao looked at the ant silkworm motionlessly, as if he was enchanted, his eyes were staring tightly, and his eyelids did not blink. I saw that the white skin on the surface of the ant silkworm slowly turned yellow after a period of time, and a snow-white silkworm slowly broke free of the yellow old skin.
The second-instar silkworm is more than twice as large as the first-instar silkworm, and continues to feed on the tender mulberry leaves, and after a while, hundreds of second-instar silkworms will eat all the mulberry leaves that Ren Yaoyao picks
Outside the space, the sun rises and falls, rising in the east and setting in the west, and the day has passed, and everyone in the natural residence looks helplessly at the closed wooden door, as if waiting for someone, but judging from the frustrated looks of the 6 people, they did not wait. One of them, a young man who looked mature and steady, glanced at the five of them with a guilty look on his face, and pursed his lips, as if he had made some decision
At this time, the person who was waiting for the natural dwelling, Ren Xiaoyao, was looking at thousands of milky white silkworm cocoons in the space, and was excited. This is the real time of the day, using the time difference of space to give birth to silkworms.
However, there are thousands of cocoons, but there are not many silkworm pupae in the space, only 30 or 40 are on three mulberry trees, but there are many yellow-brown insects on the ground, one finger long, similar to the yellow-brown insects at the stage when the bee larvae are about to become bees, staying on the ground and absorbing the soil from time to time.
This is the disappearing silkworm chrysalis, which Ren Xiaoyao took out of the cocoon by using his spatial ability. Because before that, after the formation of the first silkworm cocoon, after a period of time, a white "butterfly" flew out, breaking the silk of the cocoon, and Ren Xiaoyao failed to collect silk for the first time.
And he doesn't know what silkworm cultivation is, and he doesn't know what to do when to do. So let Ren Xiaoyao fail several times, after a test, only to know that within a period of time after the formation of the cocoon, the silkworm chrysalis must be killed, so as not to turn the silkworm chrysalis into a moth and break the silk of the cocoon.
Ren Xiaoyao looked at the thousands of milky white silkworm cocoons, and said to himself: "I don't know if these cocoons are enough to make a piece of clothing." After speaking, he immediately sent a message to the space, asking him to spin and weave the silkworm cocoon.
I saw the space, a pale green light flashed, two milky white cocoons flew into the air, in the blink of an eye, the two cocoons turned into a thin white line about 1000 meters long, one was placed horizontally in the space in the air, and the other was placed vertically into the space sky, and I don't know how the space placed the silk. If it weren't for the astonishment in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see these two thin white lines.
Immediately after that, two small pieces of milky white silk, like weaving a scarf, crossed horizontally and vertically, wound up and down, woven into a belt-sized silk. I saw another pale green light flash in the space, and two more silkworm cocoons flew up on their own, and after pulling the silk, they actually connected with the previous two silks and continued to weave.
For a moment, the space was constantly flashing with green light, and there were often two milky white thin threads weaving in mid-air, which looked extremely strange. I don't know how long it has been, but after weaving thousands of silkworm cocoons, a white cloth two meters long and one meter wide appeared in the middle of the space.
Ren Xiaoyao stretched out his right hand and took down the cloth made of silk in mid-air, which was very light and felt weightless. However, Ren Xiaoyao was completely confused, because thousands of silkworm cocoons were made into two square cloths, and he was also drunk. Because the silk is too fine, the thickness of the silk is generally 1.8 to 2 denier (the specific unit of measurement of silk), so it is good that thousands of cocoons can be woven into two square silk.
And that's it, he inadvertently created a thing that can shock the earth's sericulture science and technology research center, if he takes this piece of cloth that is only two square meters, returns to the earth, and shows it to the professor of the sericulture science and technology research center, he must buy it no matter how much money it is.
Because this cloth is woven from a single piece of silk, it is very valuable. In the early 70s of the last century, the earth unearthed the relevant information of the "plain yarn single clothes" unearthed in the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha, the length of the "plain yarn single clothes" is 128 cm, and the sleeve length is 190 cm, but the amazing thing is that the total weight is only 49 grams, which is less than today's market volume, which can be described as a real "thin as cicada wings". Chen Tao said that the process of "plain yarn single clothes" is "as thin as cicada wings", which is woven from a single silk.
It's a pity that this kind of craft has been lost on the earth, and now the raw silk process is generally woven with seven or eight silkworm cocoons twisted into a piece of silk, and this process can not achieve the effect of "thin as cicada wings". If Ren Xiaoyao appeared with this cloth, could he not make the professor of the Sericulture Science and Technology Research Center crazy?
Ren Xiaoyao didn't know that because he didn't understand the knowledge of silk, he only used the same technique as weaving scarves to weave a cloth that could not be woven from a single silk. However, this cloth is all because of the spatial ability, so Ren Yao weaves the cloth in a daze.
However, Ren Xiaoyao didn't know it now, he left the space in a flash, just now he heard the tiger released by himself in the yard in reality, as if someone was knocking on the door, and left the space in a flash
Outside the space, in real life, outside the house that Ren Xiaoyao just bought, a young man who looked mature and stable knocked softly on the door of Ren Xiaoyao's house. The two white tigers in the house heard someone knocking on the door and let out a tiger roar at the door.
After Ren Xiaoyao came out of the space, he appeared in the backyard, and hurriedly ran to the front yard, and saw two adult white tigers, shouting at the gate, Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly stopped the two tigers, I don't know what these two tigers are called. When the tiger heard Ren Xiaoyao's voice, he looked at Ren Xiaoyao very pitifully
Waiting for the tiger to stop barking, Ren Xiaoyao listened carefully to the sound outside the door, heard the sound of clapping hands outside the door, and immediately became vigilant, the middle finger of his right hand flashed white, took the universal knife, and sent a message to the two tigers, and walked towards the gate.
And outside the door, Huang Zihao, the second natural resident, was sweating profusely and got up from the ground, just now he knocked on the door a few times, heard the sound of a tiger inside, at first I thought I heard it wrong, and knocked a few times, but I didn't expect the sound of a tiger to come from inside the house, so scared that I immediately ran out of the street, and accidentally fell down in a panic.
As soon as he stood up, clapped his hands, and wanted to leave quickly, he heard the sound of the door opening, remembered the purpose of his coming here, and his curiosity came up, and when he looked back, he saw Ren Xiaoyao holding a silver-white knife and walked out, and then two huge white tigers walked out, and the whole person was stupid and forgot to scream.
Ren Xiaoyao saw Huang Zhihao and was stunned for a moment, wondering why this person came to his house so late? However, seeing that his face was pale, he whistled, and saw two adult white tigers, and when he heard Ren Yao's voice, he ran back to the door.
Waiting for the tiger to walk home, Ren Xiaoyao took a look at the scene on the street, there was no one, only Huang Zihao was alone, and asked, "Why did you come here?" "It's very strange for Huang Zihao to come alone, no matter how you think about it, I can't understand why this person came to knock in front of his house in the middle of the night.
After speaking, Ren Xiaoyao didn't hear the answer, looked back, and saw Huang Zihao fainting on the ground, which scared the tiger. Ren Xiaoyao was speechless this time, and said to himself: "The people who live in this natural place are really troublesome" As he spoke, he walked next to Huang Zihao, a golden light flashed between his eyebrows, and some cold water appeared out of thin air and poured on Huang Zihao's body.
The icy river woke up the unconscious Huang Zihao, looked at Ren Xiaoyao with a dull expression, and said to himself: "There are tigers, there are tigers, there are tigers."
Ren Xiaoyao saw Huang Zihao's sluggish expression, patted his forehead, frowned and said to himself: "You won't be stupid, right?" It's really troublesome, why are you here? After speaking, he took out some cold river water from the space and poured it on Huang Zihao's head, and asked: "Hey, the natural residence, in the middle of the night, why don't you come to my house and knock on the door when you don't come to the natural residence?" ”
Huang Zihaozi was once again drenched by the cold river water, and when he heard the three words of natural residence, he came back to his senses, and saw Ren Xiaoyao frowning at him, turning his head to look at the door behind Ren Xiaoyao, and immediately stood up.
Ren Xiaoyao saw Huang Zihao looking at the door behind him, and saw that the house could be seen in the crack of the door, and immediately shouted: "Hey, what are you looking at?" The third watch doesn't stay in the natural house in the middle of the night, why do you come to my house and knock on the door? "I want Huang Zihao to come back to his senses from the door, although the night is blurry, but I am afraid that Huang Zihao's eyesight is different from ordinary people and he will see the house.
Huang Zihao heard Ren Xiaoyao's voice, came back to his senses, looked at Ren Xiaoyao carefully, struggled for a while, and knelt in front of Ren Xiaoyao, and said: "Big brother, I was not good before, please have a lot of them, forgive me for my previous recklessness." He kowtowed as he spoke.
Huang Zihao frightened Ren Xiaoyao at this time, and when he heard the sound of banging kowtow, he came back to his senses, pulled Huang Zihao up, frowned and asked, "I said, what are you doing?" You didn't do anything to be sorry for me, did you? Why do you kneel to me and worship me? I'm not dead yet. "I was really stunned by Huang Zihao's behavior.
Huang Zihao looked at Ren Xiaoyao with a bewildered face, and said a lot of tears and snot to Ren Xiaoyao, which is nothing more than the current situation of the natural residence, saying that the natural residence has no ingredients to open now, and Huang Xiaoxiao has not opened for a few days because he has a verbal agreement with himself and refuses to buy goods from other places.
Ren Xiaoyao was stunned and depressed when he heard it, what does this have to do with himself? said a lot of things that have nothing to do with me, I don't understand what Huang Zihao wants to say, so I said: "Stop, stop, you said so much, what do you want to say?" ”
