Chapter 1056: Retreat (Part I)
Chapter 1056: Retreat (Part I)
"What's the wrong idea again?" I say.
"Of course, it's all kinds of water amusement projects, jet skis, water volleyball, and all kinds of cool girls......" Leo laughed even more obscenely, "That's right, the costume is restructured!" β
I thought of those "beauties" who were happily playing in the magma, so I could only smile wryly and shake my head: "It's okay if you want to play by yourself, but let these elemental creatures appear in swimsuits in front of everyone, we may not be able to stand it internally, and people outside will go crazy when they see it!" Of course, if you don't care, I'll be a lust-indulgent guy...... Moreover, I am a minotaur, and I actually like humans and elves, and I can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River...... By the way, your Yellow River is already quite turbid, how can you wash it clean? This is not mentioned beforehand! β
"Well, it's not that serious, there's a clear section of the Yellow River, uh, not that," Leo said, "and even if I want to have a pool party, it's not right now, I mean, a little temptation first." β
"That's pretty much it." I say.
Leo continued: "The reform of the system should be carried out little by little, subtly, and then add a little new thing when the subordinates slowly get used to it, and after a while, the smart people will find that everything is different, and the stupid people will feel that everything has not changed, and then we will promote it to Santas." β
"Come on, you've got your plan done again." I say.
"Find Vincent," said Leo, "looms, sewing machines, get started!" β
When we came to the Houshan Industrial Zone, there was a feeling of "black smoke miasma" here, but the plane did a good job in environmental protection, and those small workshops that had just started to use it and could not be mass-produced did not produce too much waste water and waste gas, and Xipiyou could easily deal with it.
Vincent and Ricardo were experimenting with a steam engine.
However, this guy who is a little bigger than the graphics I drew is not very efficient, and it is still being debugged.
When they saw me coming, they both paused for a moment, and I noticed that there were two new assistants not far awayβthey should have seen me during the meeting, but I didn't remember them.
As for Vincent's steel puppet, there really hasn't been much progress yet, but there is a rough framework, it seems that he didn't imitate me, but made a four-legged and four-handed alien puppet, in fact, it is also a reference to the design ideas in Leo's book - anyway, the design ideas of robots are nothing more than so many, humanoid, bionic type, special-shaped splicing, software amorphous, more, it depends on their innovation.
"Busy with you," I said, "I'm going to improve the spinning looms, and the sewing machines." β
With that, I ignored them and walked to the room where the "Textile Workshop" was hung.
Spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, sewing these processes, the technology on the earth is quite mature, and the humans in our world also have it, and the elves are even more superb, but in terms of efficiency, it is still a step faster for the earth, in fact, it is okay to let a magician be a full-time weaver, and the output of a day can also reach the amount of a machine, but this is simply a waste of waste......
With a slight improvement, the spinning loom will move on its own, using naturally etheric energy.
The cotton on the farm has not yet reached the ripening season, but fortunately we have a lot of experimental stocks, and the experimental weaving of some cloth is completely sufficient, and the spun cloth is not very white, and a little bleaching will make it a very good pure white cotton cloth.
Next, the fabric was cut to the right size, and I began to build a simple sewing machine.
Thinking about the automation in the future, I didn't make the sewing machine very large to fit my body shape, but made a simple table and matching axles, and then, with mental power, started sewing.
"Sewing, before industrialization, was a full-time job for women, and even after industrialization, it was considered a woman's job, and many men thought that men couldn't do it well." Leo sighed a little, "Later, in fact, many girls don't know it anymore, but they still have talent......
"Well, our world is pretty much ......," I said, turning the sewing machine in the air, "I've never seen a man do anything good at this, and I probably wouldn't have been able to do it without a sewing machine, although it seems quite simple." β
"In the primitive period of human society, men were responsible for hunting, women were responsible for collecting fruits and vegetables, taking care of children, and sewing animal skins, which gradually became a tradition, and in the agricultural period, there was a division of labor between men and women, but this division of labor, from an evolutionary point of view, is only tens of thousands of years, and it will not be engraved into the genes, at least hundreds of thousands of years," Leo said, "mainly due to the influence of lifestyle and traditional concepts." β
"I still believe in the argument that the ultimate goal of evolution is to liberate all people from the labor of making the necessities of survival, to replace production with machines, and then to devote all human activities to exploration and innovation, so that the whole race can enter the next stage of civilization," I said, "What is this called?" Completely liberate the productive forces ......"
"You're talking about the doctrine of old horses, you actually remember this!" Leo said.
"It is rational and the inevitable result of the development of civilization," I said, "that life exists nothing more than to preserve itself and continue itself, but the birth of wisdom is to let us understand the whole universe, then, after satisfying food and clothing, this is the only spiritual need, integrating labor, creation, and entertainment and leisure, this may be the cause and result of the existence of mental power, right?" β
"Oh, sewing a piece of clothing actually made you realize the truth of the universe?" Leo said.
"That's not it, I'm here, the gods and demons have made breakthroughs in productivity and even lifespan, so that's why they want to go to a higher dimension, right?" I said, "Whether they are willing or forced, their state of existence should have surpassed that of the earth, but theoretically they cannot distinguish between the superior and the inferior." β
"Well, the new textbook has content again, that is, speculation about the development of civilization," said Leo, "I have integrated Lao Ma's social theory and the theory of assets, and added a little bit of the Wealth of Nations, which is enough to guide our industrial development for the time being, and I will make it an internal publication." β
"This is your job." I say.
"By the way, after this busy period, is it time for retreat again?" Leo said.
"Isn't that right?" I said, "The next main story you're talking about is the Dragon Realm." β
"That's a high-level dungeon, we have to prepare the equipment first, and do a good job of strengthening, refining, inlaying, and enchanting, and then, the experience points are allocated, add a little and plan well, and the talent tree and everything else are also considered, and all kinds of potions, scrolls, and props are ready."
"The point is the entrance." I say.
"Well," Leo said very simply, "I just don't have a clue why I'm going into retreat." β
"Just say it, there's no need to beat around the bush." I say.
"I'm in charge of finding the entrance, and you should be ready too, shouldn't you?" Leo said.
As he spoke, several sets of clothes were made one after another.
This time, I actually made a few white coats.
These white coats will become the signature garments of the Sainsian school.
It is said that it is to satisfy Leo's careful thinking, but in fact, there are other considerations - white is cleaner, in fact, it is better than other colors of clothes, after all, such white clothes are still difficult to make in the main plane, and the process and raw materials of bleaching and dyeing are not so standardized, ordinary people can't do it well, and magicians don't care about it.
Traditional robes are indeed mysterious and ornate, but they are actually a bit bloated and redundant, which is not conducive to running - of course, powerful magicians just don't bother to run for the physical work, and just stand in place and make moves, teleporting or flying away.
In short, various concepts lead to the stereotype of traditional robes, and what we need to do is to take this small step to slowly update and iterate, and finally change our overall concept.
As for the outside world, Leo naturally has his considerations: "The emergence of new things will always cause dissatisfaction with tradition, but it doesn't matter, aesthetics are slowly changing, and your personal strength is also easy to cause new popularity, this is the law of sociology, after our people wear it to the limelight, some people will imitate it." β
These white coats are what we have to wear on the farm ourselves, and even more so when we go out, but I always feel that there are a little fewer of us.
"Find a way to solve it," said Leo, "and by the way, use a suit or a tunic for hand-to-hand combat, well, let the centaur try the suit first." β
"And that's a bit big......" I said.
"Okay, making a suit is called Xipiyou, we're just doing a demonstration." Leo said.
"Xipiyu, all the people who rule the Sainsian school gather in the conference room as soon as possible," I said, "we can wait a little longer if we have something important, and by the way, we can make a suit for the centaureus, but don't take up the main service function." β
"Understood." Xi Piyou said.
Ten minutes later, everyone from the Sevens School had arrived in the conference room.
"There are two things I'm going to announce, one is this......" I put out my lab coat, "and in order to improve the recognition of our Sainz school, I have decided to improve our magic robes and replace them with this white work coat. β
I hung a white coat in the air and introduced: "White can make it easier for us to find out if there are stains staining the body in our research, and it is also a conspicuous mark, the collar is slightly larger, which can be matched with the original short sleeves, the buttons are relatively simple, easy to put on and take off, the pockets can temporarily put some items, I also made the sleeves a little shorter, so that you can take things directly from the bracelet or this ring and other space props, and the hem of the clothes is relatively short, so it will not drag on the ground, and it is also convenient for experiments, you can ask if you have questions." β
Camfu was the first to raise his hand: "Boss, my size ......"
