Chapter Twenty-Three: The Beast Tide is Coming
It was 12 o'clock at night when Zhang Feng got home, opened the door, pressed the switch on the inside of the door, but the light on the roof did not turn on. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIs there a power outage in the block today, Zhang Feng turned his head to look outside the door, and the old steel mill across the road was still brightly lit. Zhang Feng slapped his forehead, and then remembered that he used nearly 10,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity to practice meditation last night, which was pinched by the people of the State Grid.
Zhang Feng took out a flashlight from the Tianjing space for lighting, washed up briefly, and returned to the bedroom. Sitting at the head of the bed, discarding distracting thoughts, his consciousness soon came to the Shenhai space. Half of the purple magic dust used up at night has been restored, and the purple magic dust is much easier to call than the magic dust that has not yet been lit. Soon the three purple magic balls had been formed, the heavenly crystals returned to their positions, and Zhang Feng began to absorb the free charge energy in the surrounding air.
Half an hour later, Zhang Feng shook his head in distress after finishing his cultivation, it seemed that his qualifications were really not very good, and his cultivation was as slow as a snail. In half an hour, the amount of magic dust lit up was less than one hundredth of what it was yesterday. It seems that if you want to achieve something, you can only rely on the help of electricity. Now that there is no electricity available, Zhang Feng simply buried his head in sleep. After going through too many things this day, selling diamonds, testing blue gold, and fighting with the dragon's dragon envoy at night, Zhang Feng's spirit was already exhausted, and he fell into a deep sleep as soon as he dipped his pillow.
…………
The next morning, Zhang Feng went to the power grid business hall and paid 100,000 yuan in electricity bills, except for making up the arrears, the rest was reserved for his own cultivation. The expansion of the power grid is also very simple, just go through a formality, and all the rest of the work has nothing to do with Zhang Feng, and there is no need to renovate the line or anything like that.
When he returned home again, the power had been reconnected, but Zhang Feng didn't stay long, and directly opened the light door and came to the other world. The furnishings in the room are still the same, the door is also closed, and it seems that no one has come in the day he left.
Zhang Feng came to the Otherworld this time to buy some blue gold again. In the past four years, the research team led by Zhang Feng has completed all the design work of the small turbofan engine and completed the trial production of a core machine, but it burned out within an hour of test run. After dismantling and studying, it was found that the turbine disc was unqualified, and it was seriously distorted and deformed under high temperature and high pressure. The material used to make the turbine disc is DD-13, which is the second-generation single crystal alloy developed by the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is already the best heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant superalloy that can be found on the market.
The lack of materials science research is an eternal pain in China's aviation industry, and the small turbofan developed by Zhang Feng and others has also fallen into this quagmire. I applied for the military project before, but also to get the support of the military, to see if I can get the fourth-generation single crystal alloy, or the fifth-generation single crystal alloy under development, and carry out the project. Who knew that Fu Xiaoliang snatched the project halfway through, and all the plans were lost.
But now, Zhang Feng sees the excellent performance of blue gold, especially its high temperature resistance, which is simply a material tailored for aero engines. With it, there are no obstacles to the development of small turbofan engines.
Changing into a fresh shirt, I opened the door and walked down, passing by the hall on the first floor, where there were more people drinking and chatting than last time. Zhang Feng was a little strange, it was only morning, and the adventurers should be hunting wild beasts in the wild and collecting materials, how could they gather here to drink.
"Zhang Feng, you also live here, come and have a drink."
Zhang Feng looked for the sound and saw that the person who greeted him was Cassie who came to Jumu Town together, and saw him sitting alone at a table, with two plates of side dishes and a pot of wine on the table, as if waiting for someone.
Zhang Feng walked over, sat opposite Cassie, beckoned the waiter, ordered two more dishes, and asked for a pot of fruit wine, and then asked Cassie, "Cassie, where is your companion?" ”
Cassie was a little depressed, took a sip of wine, and said, "Hong De is taking care of the two seriously injured in the room, Hong Xu has gone to find out the news, and I am here to wait for him to come back." In the past two days, there have suddenly been a lot more demonic beasts around Jumu Town, and many adventurers who have gone out have been attacked by demonic beasts. Looking at this situation, it is likely to be a sign that the beast tide is about to rise. ”
"Beast tide! Didn't humans and Warcraft sign a non-aggression pact, how could there still be a beast tide? ”
Zhang Feng's voice was a little anxious, it was really that the scene of the beast tide recorded in the Tianjing inheritance was too terrifying, and it was overwhelming with demonic beasts, even if the Sword Saint came in person, he could only turn around and run away in the face of endless demonic beasts, otherwise he would only have to drink hatred on the spot. If there are more ants, they can still bite an elephant to death, not to mention that this is a group of powerful magical beasts.
At this time, the waiter had already brought the food and wine, and the two drank a glass of each other, and Cassie replied: "The agreement exists, but it only means that humans and monsters do not invade each other's territories, but places like Giant Wood Town are places that belong to the junction of human territory and monster territory, and are not restricted by the agreement." In addition, Warcraft and humans need such a place as a battlefield, and after training the younger generations, they are preserved by default. Like Jumu Town, every two or three years, it will experience a beast tide, but there will be some signs many days in advance before the beast tide, and when the real beast tide comes, those who feel that they are not strong have already fled. ”
Zhang Feng pointed to the adventurers who were drinking and chatting around and asked, "Then these people are waiting for news?" ”
Cassie nodded and said, "Almost, the mayor has hired two powerful mercenary groups to investigate the situation around Giant Wood Town, and when they come back, they will know if the beast tide is coming." ”
…………
After talking with Cassie, Zhang Feng generally understood the current crisis faced by Jumu Town, walking on the streets of Jumu Town, the pedestrians around him were in a hurry, and there were many businessmen who were not strong enough to drive four-wheeled carriages and drag their families out of the city to take refuge in nearby towns.
The Mage's Guild is still open for business, but only a few adventurers come in and out. Zhang Feng walked up to the counter where he had bought blue gold last time and asked if there was any blue gold for sale.
The waiter inside shook his head and said, "The blue gold we buy here will be sold to the blacksmith shop in the town on the same day, and there will be no stock." ”
Zhang Feng had to ask the waiter about the location of the blacksmith shop, and went out to look for it.
The location of the blacksmith shop is a bit off, in the corner of Jumu Town, separated from the other shops and residents, perhaps because of the fear of noise disturbing the people. Unlike all the other buildings in the town, the blacksmith's shop was made of wood, but with a layer of iron sheet wrapped around the planks, which made the whole house dark and shiny in the sunlight.
