Chapter 1193 Selection in the Ring (24)
At the same time (?) , Great Britain, the second imperial capital of London, Chancellor Merlin's Provisional Institute.
"Then it's just to put the part on, splice it together, and weld it on, and that's it. Vivien used her hair to curl several tiny tools to assemble a very quiet electronic component. It was made up of various electronic ballasts, resistors, capacitors, and circuit boards, which together form a complex three-dimensional structure that at first glance looks like the inside of a mechanical watch, and is dazzling to look at. And the total volume of such a complex large number of parts is only the size of a soybean.
"It's amazing. Husky hunched down on the table beside him, looking through the magnifying glass set up by Guò, and couldn't help but exclaim. It's not just these complex parts, it's Aunt Vivien. It's amazing how she can use her own hair to operate such a delicate tool. In addition to being awesome, it's terrifying.
"But what is this used to change meow?" asked little Hal curiously to his mother.
"Oh, it's an automatic valve. Vivian explained with a smile, "To put it simply, it is to control the opening and closing of the subspace. Of course, it is a little more advanced than ordinary valves, and you can use EEG control.
"Oh. Xingxing lifted Erlang's legs and half-lay on the sofa, seemingly not caring much about this qiē: "Isn't the subspace just for storing things?" It would be nice to reach in and get the thing inside, and get a brain-controlled valve?" Li Daoyuan on the side was busy drawing a detailed blueprint for the newly designed supply boat, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard Xinghui Long's clever words.
The dragon was upset, "Did I say something wrong?" Vivien explained coldly, "Evil, this valve and its corresponding subspace device are housed in a helmet of distractable armor to store air and nutrient solutions. When you're wearing a helmet, you can't reach in for something. "Oh, that's good," the Starlight Dragon snorted and stopped talking.
"And I've made you an extra gadget. Vivien changed her mind and smiled at her youngest son, Hal, "This is just for Poch." "What?" asked Hal, tilting his head. His pet balloon fish also swam curiously around the face of the leopard boy.
Vivien pulled out a matchbox-sized object from the pile of instruments, which looked like some kind of pendant, and had a clasp attached to one end that could be attached to a belt.
"This is Pochi's nest. You let Poch in and see if he likes it?" "This meow?" Hal was even more puzzled. But judging from his mother's work just now, this matchbox-like little thing should also be some kind of subspace-bound device, and it is not surprising that there is a very large space inside.
"Chirp?" the little carp leaned over curiously and kissed the outer wall of the pendant with its small mouth. It immediately opened an entrance—the subspace entrance was larger than the sides of the box. The balloon fish snorted in, eager to see what was new inside.
"Pochi, it's big inside, it's comfortable," the leopard boy shouted at the box.
"~Chirp!""Press the button here to see what's going on inside. Vivien continued.
Hal spotted a small button on the edge of the box and pressed it. With a whoosh, a hologram of the subspace inside was projected from the hidden projector of the box.
The space was three feet square, and a small fish could swim freely in it. And Vivien has arranged a lot of knick-knacks such as crystals and coral in Pochi's "room", which is like a small aquarium, which is very pleasing.
"That way, Poch will have a nest to burrow into when he sleeps at night, and he won't have to sleep next to your pillow - you almost flattened him when you went to bed yesterday, and it's better not to do that again. Vivien touched her son's head and smiled.
"Got it!" said Hal happily. His little pet fish also finished touring his nest and sprang out of the subspace. From Pochi's lively appearance, you can see that he is happy.
"That's good. Husky wants a wang, too!" said the canine boy enviously.
"You'll have to wait for your little pet and the pet house, and you'll get it in a few days. Vivien smiled at Husky again.
"Yay!" Husky's puppy tail wagged happily.
Then he had a whim, and asked a few more words: "Actually, there is such a convenient subspace, isn't it very useful to solve the housing problem? It is enough to make a lot of subspace rooms for people to live in, and there will be no more poor people in Great Britain who are worried about the housing problem?" "Oh, dear, you have a good idea. Vivien smiled and said, "But this one is really not suitable for people." First of all, it is a closed subspace, and there is only a small subspace exit to the outside world, which can be described as very stuffy. Although a ventilation system is installed, it is still possible for small animals to live for a while, but it is too uncomfortable for humans to live in it. "Isn't it okay to keep the subspace exit wide open?" Hal asked curiously.
"No, there will be [space leaks]. Evil Star suddenly interjected.
"Space leakage?" "After all, it's extra space created by magic, not something natural, and it will disappear completely one day." Vivien continued her work as she explained, "The more closely subspace is connected to the real world, the faster it disappears. It's like opening an ice cave and the ice inside melts faster. In order not to make it disappear too quickly, we usually shrink the entrance and exit of the subspace to the size of a pinhole, and only enlarge the entrance when accessing things inside. But if you don't do anything, the subspace will eventually disappear. In order to avoid this, it is necessary to replenish the subspace magic inside every once in a while - if the entrance and exit are kept open, as Husky said, the cost of replenishing the magic alone is huge, and it is better to find a house to live in in the real world. "Yes, yes, Wang. Husky scratched his head: "Husky also plans to ask Mommy to use subspace magic to make a big mansion for us to live in" If you can endure that kind of closed and stuffy environment like a prison, this is not too much of a problem. But people still have to enjoy life and want to live comfortably. Husky's mention yì is only suitable for those with special needs, in short, it is not practical.
The air fell silent for a few seconds. These two energetic kids still had a whole morning to consume, and it was obviously unrealistic for them to be here to watch the adults at work.
Vivien felt this cold atmosphere, so she sighed and put down the tools in her hand: "Okay. You two naughty ones have had enough of visiting the lab, are you bored? Evilstar, could you please take the children downstairs? Someone there will pick you up and take you on a tour of the Eastern Knights' base. She was glad she had another backup plan in place.
Because the original research institute burned down, Merlin's temporary research institute was moved to Fort Elsen, the base camp of the Eastern Knights. King Arthur's office was also located on another wing of Fort Elsensen. It's a heavily guarded place, and even if the Evil Star and her two children were to run around in it, Vivien would be able to put ten thousand hearts.
Starlight Dragon muttered unhappily, "Huh, use me as a nanny again" He was about to protest, but was met with a glare from Vivien. Evil Star didn't say anything more, just got up from the couch and stretched: "It's really troublesome, okay, little ghosts, follow me." "Uncle Evilstar, when are we going to fish again?" Husky asked in a whisper as he walked over to the Starlight Dragon.
Of course, his goal is not to "fish", but to find an excuse to meet up with Calvin, the Fish-Man Prince, and then log in to that virtual game to continue playing. But in front of Aunt Vivian, he can only say that he is going fishing—otherwise he will be a goof.
"Oh, you suddenly like fishing?" Vivien seemed to sense something, glancing at Husky and Hal with confusion.
"And the swimming king. We'll have to teach Hal how to swim. Husky's words cleverly obfuscated the past.
"Chirp~" The little carp also laughed and circled around the top of Hal's head.
"Oh. The woman nodded convincingly, "Then you can find a chance to go to the lake area again and teach Hal how to swim." This landlubber, like his brothers, shivers when he touches the water, and we can't do anything about him. "Poof. Evil Star picked up the leopard man boy and walked outside the research room: "It's too troublesome. I'll talk about that when I have time. Without the other knights in his company, it was difficult for the star to find a good excuse to convince the children's mother to take the two imps out into the countryside. Even if he finds the knight who accompanies him, the star will have to spend his tongue to keep the other party secret. Not all knights are as talkative as Lancelot's brother-in-law, and the fewer people who know the secret, the better.
Anyway, it's not easy. It's okay for the same thing to happen once or twice, but too many times can be overwhelming. Evil Star didn't have much interest in that virtual game in the first place, and he wouldn't be as obsessed with that virtual game as a kid. Every time he took the children in, he reluctantly agreed because the Husky were pushing them too hard.
Husky pouted and looked at Uncle Evil Star unhappily. Uncle Evil Star said that he would teach the dog man boy swordsmanship, but that attitude didn't look like he had a heart to teach at all, which really made people anxious.
