Su Cheng finally came up with a method of combining forging and casting: first create three sharp handleless small straight knives, the blades are embedded outwards in the sand mold, exposing the back of the knife, and then pouring molten iron for casting. This method of manufacturing triangular tips not only degrades the quality of the tips, but also easily damages. The good thing is that the appearance of the weapon is basically the same, the inherent magic attributes will not change, and the success rate of forging will never be lower than that of handcrafting!

Spent twenty-five silver coins to order thirty small handleless straight knives to Zhao Tiehammer. I ran around the village for a long time and found a pile of sand that could be used to make sand molds, and transported it to the blacksmith's shop.

Seeing that Su Cheng was busy, Chu Xue Emei and Angela both ran to help.

Chu Xue Emei asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Su Cheng didn't know the bottom in his heart: "New weapon forging skills." I don't know if it will work out. I haven't tried this method in reality. ”

Chu Xue Emei and Angela carried a basket of fine sand, and Su Cheng carried a basket alone, chatting while walking. Passing by a large tree, Angela stopped: "Do you hear the birds?" Very subtle. It's like a bird! ”

The three of them followed the birdsong to the grass, and sure enough, they found a small bird with a brown back hiding in the grass. A yellow beak, restless eyes, chirp "chirp".

Chu Xue Emei: "It seems to have fallen from a tree, it's a sparrow!" ”

"You're too homely, aren't you? It's a robin! Angela is well-informed: "You see, the back and body shape are a bit like sparrows, but the abdomen is also a large pockmark, this is a juvenile robin!" I've seen it in the United States, and this bird is very beautiful when it is an adult, and the male has a blue back all over! ”

Chu Xue Emei glanced at Angela and read: "

If only I could save a heart from sorrow

I didn't waste my life

If only I could relieve the pain of a life

Calms a sourness

Help an injured robin

Return to the nest

I didn't waste my life."

Su Cheng actually knew this poem: "Lonely, beautiful and safe mentality." This is Emily Dickinson's "If I Could Save a Heart from Sorrow," good poetry. He commented.

"But there are no such birds in the area!" Angela called.

Chu Xue Emei and Su Cheng glanced at each other. Chu Xue Emei said: "Will there be a task?" ”

"Try sending the robin back to the nest! Which of you goes? Su Cheng asked.

The two little girls looked at each other, and they were all dressed in cute skirts: how do you climb a tree in this body? What to do if you go light? Besides, I don't think I can climb a tree!

Su Cheng didn't ask anymore, wrapped the bird in his hat and put it in his mouth and began to climb the tree - it's very easy, I guess the girl is fine! After climbing four or five meters, he saw a bird's nest on a branch. Climb to a higher position and look down at the nest, and find that there is a big bird in the nest, so big that the whole nest is covered! No wonder the other birds fall!

If you look closely, this big bird has fluffy feathers, the corners of its beak are yellow, and it is clearly a young chick. The round eyes stared at Su Cheng, not flying or moving, as if he had been frightened.

Su Cheng looked around and made sure that there were no other bird's nests in this tree. No, if you put the bird in the hat into this nest, it will fall into the grass again in a few minutes. Just as he was hesitating, a blue light and shadow flashed beside him, and a robin stopped on a branch not far away, making a terrible "chirping" sound at Su Cheng.

It is certain that this is the nest of the robin, but why are the nestlings in the nest larger than the larger ones? It's not scientific. Su Cheng was stunned for a while, remembering that he often seemed to hear the call of "cuckoo" in the game in the past few days, he immediately made a decision to put the robin chicks into the nest, and put the big birds in the nest into the hat to catch the tree.

The two girls came to watch, and Chu Xue Emei: "Why didn't you put the bird back?" ”

Angela saw the problem again: "This is not a little robin!" The coat color and appearance are similar, and the tail is a little longer. But robins aren't that big when they're adults! ”

"You're right!" Su Cheng said: "This is the cuckoo." It is commonly known as the 'cuckoo'. The finch occupies the dove's nest, and that's it! ”

Chu Xue Emei didn't care about this: "Is there a task prompt?" ”

"I was prompted to save a bird. Nothing else! ”

Angela was very angry: "I see, this cuckoo is very hateful! swallowed other people's eggs, occupied other people's nests, and let others feed her children. Little cuckoos are even worse! In order to monopolize the bird's food, he squeezed other birds out of the nest and fell to death! ”

Su Cheng said: "This is the cuckoo's way of survival. Not to mention good or bad, I can't let the bird die in my hands. You help me bring the sand to the blacksmith's shop. I'm going back and making a birdcage and raising this little bird. Hehe, maybe there's a follow-up mission! ”

Back at home, Eleven Lang and Lightning both ran around Su Cheng, and when Eleven Lang saw the little cuckoo, his saliva flowed, and the little bird shrank into a ball in fright.

Su Cheng threw a small piece of magic crystal to both Eleven Lang and Lightning, and handed the bird to Aunt Jane: "Godmother, I'm afraid that Eleven Lang and Lightning will eat the bird." Put it in your house, and I'll look for it. ”

Aunt Jane smiled, "Looking for what?" This is no different from a chicken, the godmother can feed it with some wheat and rice grains. This doesn't look like a pet, huh? What do you raise? ”

Su Cheng told the reason.

Aunt Jane herself has always been kind-hearted, and she heard that only in this way can she keep the two little birds alive, and although she is not very satisfied with the cuckoo, she also agrees with Su Cheng's approach: "Orange, you did the right thing." Don't worry, the godmother will help you raise this little bird. ”

Taking off his helmet, Su Cheng closed his eyes and thought for a while. He felt that it was not easy to save the two birds, but he couldn't think of a reason. Just go to the living room and turn on the computer - he is still used to looking up the information he wants on the computer - there is no special information or legend under the entry for the robin and the cuckoo. Standing up, looking around the living room, he felt that something was missing, he was in a trance, it turned out that Qin Xiaoman hadn't gone offline to cook today. Maybe it's a critical time for the mission, he thought.

Open the fridge and there is no decent storage of vegetables and meat. Su Cheng left Qin Xiaoman a note for himself to go grocery shopping, and rode his bicycle out.

A plate of roasted eggplant with spicy tiger skin and a plate of garlic moss back to the pot were placed on the table, but Qin Xiaoman had not come out yet. Su Cheng was a little depressed, eating half of it alone and leaving half of it, and was brushing the pot, Qin Xiaoman's door "clanged", and a person ran into the kitchen, cheering "It's done", and suddenly pounced on Su Cheng's back, so shocked that Su Cheng almost knocked the bowl off.

"Our village can also be upgraded, and it can also be upgraded......" patting Su Cheng on the shoulder, Qin Xiaoman couldn't stop at all.

Su Cheng picked up a rag to wipe his hands, and walked into the living room with Xiaoman on his back: "Can you come down?" Let's talk about it after eating! ”

Qin Xiaoman came down and ...... The feet are still bare...... Running back to the room with a red face and putting on slippers and coming out: "I ......"

"Got it...... Shall you eat first? Speak slowly after eating! ”

Oh, and it seems that both dishes are quite to my liking! Eat!

Seeing Qin Xiaoman finish eating, Su Cheng poured her a glass of water: "Your village hasn't been upgraded yet, right?" ”

"Our water spinning wheel has successfully produced cloth! Just like you said. I only provide ideas in key places, and that intermediate carpenter will be able to make the transmission. A few pieces of fabric have already been produced! It's not in vain that I timed out an hour of gaming today! "I can't contain my excitement.

"No patent hints?" Su Cheng is another scoop of cold water! Without this, you're far from success! "Also, if you play a small role in it, will the system directly determine that the patent belongs to the carpenter NPC? I don't even owe it to you! ”

Qin Xiaoman opened his mouth wide: "Don't scare me!" Oh...... "I'm starting to hiccup, the tiger skin is not too spicy!"

"In addition to the point just now, whether this set of things still has hidden dangers, and it must be verified that it cannot exist on a large scale. If you don't have a single gold coin to pay the patent fee, you may be defaulted by the system that you will not apply for a patent! All of this has to be guarded against. ”

"Oh...... You said you'd lend me a gold coin, huh...... What does it mean to exist on that scale? Oh! "I'm more nervous!

"I'll send you the gold coins after twelve o'clock! The existence of scale is whether this hydro spinning wheel can use the power of water flow in batches and stably! ”

Qin Xiaoman's mood gradually stabilized: "There is a river at the edge of our village, and the water flow is also very stable!" ”

"Frost City in the Western Regions, from the actual geographical location, is somewhere in Xinjiang. Nine out of ten of Xinjiang's rivers are seasonal rivers. It's the midsummer season, and of course the river is stable! ”

Qin Xiaoman is also half of the Western Regions, so of course he knows a little about the local season: "It's difficult for us to build a reservoir on the edge of the village?" ”

"Hehe, without an earth-based archmage, I'm afraid this is an impossible task! In the simplest way, after you receive the gold coins, you invite the carpenter and the village chief directly, explain the situation, and if they agree with your statement, you come up with the idea of excavating a circular DC and building a diversion dam to stabilize the flow of water. This approach is theoretically sufficient to be established, and in practice, the human and material resources of the village can also be achieved. ”

It's still too difficult. Qin Xiaoman was not confident: "Are you sure this can work?" ”

"Not sure. That's the only way to go. Do you have any other way? Of course you don't! Give it a try! ”

"Try it, try it! If not, I won't pay you back the gold! Qin Xiaoman puffed out his mouth and went to wash the dishes......

After twelve o'clock, the two went online immediately. No one wants to fail because of carelessness in this kind of critical task.

Su Cheng sent Qin Xiaoman gold coins, and ran to Qin Xiaoman's room, ready to know at any time.

Listening to Qin Xiaoman's conversation with the village chief and carpenter as instructed, there was a faint hint of "ding", and he got up lightly and returned to his room.

Qin Xiaoman failed to get the same level of attribute point rewards as Su Cheng.

While eating breakfast, she told Su Cheng about the "unfair" treatment of the system: "Because I don't have a carpentry skill level, the system actually awarded me the title of 'junior production manager', as a manager, I can increase the output of small production workshops by 30 percent, medium-sized production by 20 percent, and large production by 10 percent." If you have this skill level, you can also increase your output by 5 to 15 percent depending on the level. No one gave me attribute points! The gold is three like you. I'll pay you back when I'm online! ”

"What a title." Su Cheng commented: "But the focus is on patents!" Do you get a patent? ”

"Fifty percent of the patent ownership was obtained for one gold coin. Far worse than you! Oh, and fifty percent of them are old carpenters! The old carpenter has actually been upgraded! ”

Su Cheng was a little speechless: "You are content!" Fifty percent is also considered to have the right to control the technology. The next step is Carpenter's Workshop control! The patent right is a bit small, and the shares of the workshop must be taken as much as possible to increase the right to speak. Listen to me, put all your gold coins into the carpenter's workshop, and take as many shares as you can! Just keep a few dozen silver coins for you. ”
