Chapter Forty-Seven: Hand Climbing the Tech Tree
Yes, when that sour smell spreads in the mouth, it is as if a switch in the body is slowly turned on, and the surging hunger instantly swallows Ge Sheng.
Ge Sheng glanced at Christie with a wry smile, and then obediently put the white candy in his mouth.
For some reason, Christie seems to have a soft spot for candy as a carrier, although her so-called candy is closer to a hard-tasting pill in terms of efficacy and shape.
Unlike before, this white candy does not have any strange taste in the mouth, slightly sweet and a bit like the nectar of jasmine, but it does not disintegrate and explode instantly, and it does not have an extreme taste like that appetizer candy.
The saliva melted the surface of the candy, and the syrup and saliva slid into the esophagus together, and Ge Sheng suddenly found that the hunger that was close to burning in his stomach was slowly calming down.
With sugar in his mouth, he looked at the girl, hoping that she would be merciful and give an explanation.
Such a portable and efficient food, if it could be used as military rations, what an incredible and great creation.
As long as there are no special side effects.
"I'm sorry." Christie looked at Ge Sheng's expectation and shook his head lightly: "All my products are difficult to produce on a large scale, and under the premise of working together at the level of the four major chambers of commerce at any cost, it is still impossible to do it, if you improve the process and improve them from the alchemy workshop method to the workshop method, there may be a little chance, but my time is precious, and I can't afford to spend a lot of time on a little research by-product." ”
"And a word of caution." Christie's eyes were gentle: "All the sweets you taste are more expensive than the equivalent of gold, and in any case, these are products that cannot be popularized." ”
Christie naturally lowered her hands and stopped looking at Ge Sheng: "If there is no problem, can I start?" ”
Ge Sheng nodded.
Christie opened her hands, and a clear and shallow glimmer slowly shimmered on her.
In Ge Sheng's perception, it was more like someone was opening the door of the space.
However, the subtle fluctuations are as smooth as a finger opening the window lattice.
A silver-white metal creation was slowly "pulled" out of Christie's body, and the moment the cube left Christie's body, it had a visible sense of "elongation", and then it was placed flat on the ground, it was boxy, with a metallic luster, and a device similar to a caliper and a knife on it.
This was the first, and then, more and more creations were "pumped" out of Christie's body in turn, and most of those were silver-white metal creations, completely surrounding Christie.
Ge Sheng was already dizzy.
The various instruments and workbenches surrounded Her Majesty the seventeen-year-old Empress as if this were the most reliable of the Empress's personal guards.
Christie has already started working as if no one else was around.
She was in a clearing she had simply made, surrounded by rainforest and dead leaves that had been precipitated for thousands of years, but she remained as focused as if she were in her own alchemy workshop.
Ge Sheng watched as she continued to "extract" different metal ingots from her body, smelting, shaping, and processing them into delicate and hard parts, and realized what kind of help the so-called ninth-level magicians had provided her.
All processes are running almost automatically.
While completing the work at hand closely and efficiently, Christie always leaves about a third of the way to complete the next job, and the processes that she has put aside are still running slowly and precisely, and so on, until there are always more than five processes, working quietly under the premise of no one to operate.
Gesheng first understood why Christie didn't need his help at all.
Because, Ge Sheng can't help at all.
Without professional training and the right knowledge, Ge Sheng can't even complete the processing of a component independently, not to mention the dozens of parts that are not exactly the same in the field, if Ge Sheng goes up, maybe it will only add to the chaos.
Later, Gesheng understood why Christie said that all of her creations could not be mass-produced.
Because those creations can only be done under Christie's hands!
Such a delicate and orderly control, to complete all the work of an engineering and experiment alone, which seems unthinkable to others, has become a burden to any assistant under Christie's hands.
She is at the heart of everything, and without her, those seemingly sophisticated and sci-fi creations are just a pile of scrap metal.
When she got to work, all the instruments in the studio were connected to her breath, her magical tentacles were connected to each one, and even when she was away for a while, her spirit was still controlling the operation of the instruments.
What a huge amount of mental power and control this is.
Ge Sheng always thought that he had reacquainted himself with the girl in front of him again and again, but he found that what he saw was only the tip of the iceberg.
Gesheng also realized what exactly Christie was doing now.
She's climbing the tech tree in her hands.
Yes, it can only be a gradual and non-uprooted tech tree.
Just as human beings always have to master the smelting of bronze, which requires lower temperatures and easier raw materials, before they can accumulate and master enough experience and knowledge to gradually complete the more difficult metro smelting, if you want to cast a big ship, you must first click on the technology points of canoes and rafts.
This is especially true of teleportation arrays.
Ge Sheng believes that Christie cannot complete the construction of the teleportation array alone, and the most important reason is that it involves the convergence and crystallization of several important magical achievements of human beings.
To put it simply, if you want to make a part, first of all, you need its raw materials, which is to smelt and purify the metal, if not, then you have to get its ore, if the ore of this metal is buried deep underground, then you must have enough mine technology, these processes are indispensable for a large number of metal tools, the necessary support structures, facilities and transportation networks for the drainage of the mine.
But even if you're done with it all, you'll realize that you've just got a small piece of metal to make the parts, and you'll need a whole workbench.
At this time, you will find that you only want to get a very simple product, but you find that if you go back to the source, you must first have a more difficult and sophisticated set of facilities. And dismantling those facilities, you face more intertwined difficulties.
This means that in today's world, any seemingly insignificant human creation is in fact the product of the cooperation of countless people, and one person cannot challenge a group.
However, such a seemingly infallible truth was shaken by Christie alone.
She is not only challenging, but surpassing the tech tree created by the entire human group.
