It's happening.

Jiang Jiuling was lying on the hardwood bed that belonged to him, holding a book called "Illustrated Forty-seven Kinds of Metal Minerals", and once again warned himself in his heart that since he had already crossed, he should not make a fuss about the facts.

But how can Jiang Jiuling not make a fuss?

In this world, I am still a person who loves to read.

The three tiled rooms are so poor that they don't even have a TV or refrigerator, but there is a simple bookshelf next to the desk in the bedroom, and there are three rows of books lined up in it.

Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing Processes.

"Machinery Manufacturing Technology".

Theory and Methods of Precision Machining.

Illustration of Forty-Seven Metal Minerals

"The Extraordinary Road from Ordinary Worker to Steel Milling Foreman" ......

Although the quality of the covers and the thickness of the paper are judged by the quality of the covers, most of these books are informal bargains bought from bookstalls.

But it also happened to be these books that gave Jiang Jiuling a way to quickly understand the world.

Pull out the book "Illustrated Forty-seven Kinds of Metal Minerals", the content of which can make Jiang Jiuling's heart set off a seven- or eight-magnitude earthquake.

The book is divided into two parts, detailing the origins of the 47 metal minerals, the characteristics of each mineral, and the common origins.

As for why it's not minerals, it's minerals.

That's because there is no kind of metal mineral that Jiang Jiuling is familiar with in this world, and all metals in this world come from metal species, metal species that can run and fly.

Volume 1 "Base Metal Types".

Base metals: This is the most commonly used and most important metal species to support modern industrial and technological civilization.

- Ordinal number 26: Iron-shelled pig.

- Ordinal number 28: Silver and white nickel horses.

- Ordinal number 29: The Bronze Sheep of Joy.

—Ordinal 31:......

The next volume is "Extraordinary Metals".

Extraordinary Metals: These are rare metals that are used in specialty manufacturing and are essential in the electrical industry, chemical industry, and aerospace technology, and have characteristics that are difficult to capture.

- Ordinal number 3: Lithium Bird.

- Ordinal number 22: Titanium python.

- Ordinal number 74: Black tungsten pangolin.

- Ordinal Number 79: The Red Walk of the Golden Dragon......

Jiang Jiuling's thinking turned into a garbled program, there are no metal minerals in this world, only metal species.

Metals are a special species alienated from metal elements, and most of their bodies are made of metal. If humans want to get their hands on metals, they have to find ways to hunt them.

For example, Jiang Jiuling also saw the story of Cao Cao more than 1,700 years ago, in order to raise military salaries, he did not hesitate to send 3,000 tigers and leopards to hunt the red golden dragon.

In addition, the iron oxide pig in the yard is a serious metal species.

It is a variant of the ordinal number 26 iron-shelled pig, and the sequence 26 iron-shelled pig is also the only metal breed that has mastered the large-scale breeding technology of human beings in modern times.

In rural areas, some well-to-do farmers like to raise an iron-hulled pig. Because after three or five years, when the iron pig grows to two or three thousand catties, it can harvest almost the same weight of iron metal.

If you have the ability to raise three or five heads, you can go to [Nongjin Station] to change a tractor and come back after the slaughter.

Closing the metal book that made him look at it in pieces, Jiang Jiuling went to wash his face and sober up, ready to read the book "The Extraordinary Road from Ordinary Worker to Steel Milling Foreman".

In the afternoon, when he was at the school, the principal told him before he left that five years ago, a senior relied on the invention of a solar lantern to gain legal recognition and become an engineer with extraordinary abilities.

The author of this book is probably more powerful than that senior, and there must be an answer in the book that Jiang Jiuling desperately wants to know.

Pulling out the book and was about to sit on the bed to read, Jiang Jiuling suddenly heard a knock on the door of "aggressive~" in the courtyard.

"Who's coming for me?"

Jiang Jiuling opened the courtyard door suspiciously, and it turned out to be Zhang Ying, who had received him a dollar for protection not long ago.

Jiang Jiuling estimated that his height should be as fast as 1.8 meters, and if he can keep up with his nutrition in the future, it should be no problem to grow to the original height of 1.83 meters. At this time, Zhang Ying, who was standing at the door, was only slightly shorter than himself, about 1.75 meters tall.

She must only be a year older than herself, this girl eats fodder.

was paid a protection fee, which is undoubtedly a significant expense for Jiang Jiuling, whose total net worth does not exceed ten yuan.

So even if the original memory told him that the girl in front of him was not easy to mess with, Jiang Jiuling would not give her any good looks, "What are you looking for me?"

Zhang Ying picked up her very good-looking eyebrows, and said strangely: "Did you take the wrong medicine today?"

"When you are asked to pay protection money after school, why do you always stare at me with black cocks. When in the past have you paid protection money, and I didn't always pay it back to you when I got home?"

"Even though we are neighbors, we have to behave when collecting protection money, and we can't make people feel favoritism. ”

I'll go~

You can still use it in this way.

Jiang Jiuling couldn't tell Zhang Ying's familiarity with herself, for fear that she would see something abnormal, so she showed a slightly sad expression and exposed the topic of protection money, "I'm in a bad mood today, I was expelled from school." ”

"Because of that?" As a neighbor next to the door, Zhang Ying obviously knew the reason why Jiang Jiuling had been lying in the hospital for half a month.

Jiang Jiuling nodded, and the latter took out a dollar from his bulging waist bag and said with relief: "Then don't be sad~ I remember that your academic performance is not bad, and you can knock and beat, cut and weld or something." ”

"When I sell the pigs next year, I will go to my middle school. Aunt Li in the alley teaches in No. 1 Middle School, and you can ask her for help when the time comes. ”

When Jiang Jiuling took the one-yuan coin from her hand, his sharp eyes found that her canvas waist bag contained at least more than 100 yuan in change.

Could this be what she gained at the door of the second middle school in the evening, and listening to her previous tone, the protection fee is more than one second middle school?

Collecting it once a month, just one school in No. 2 Middle School can bring her more than 100 yuan.

Is there a royal law here?

Thinking about the fact that his net worth was less than ten yuan, Jiang Jiuling almost moved the idea of going with her to collect protection money.

"You...... You're breaking the law, aren't you?"

"Illegal?"

Zhang Ying looked at him with a look in her eyes, like a bad heroine in a Hong Kong film, looking at a nerd.

She snorted and sneered: "Jiang Jiuling, have you forgotten the beating you were made in the stadium last year." And then like a mother, come back to me if you are wronged, and I will help you get the field back?"

"You and I are willing to collect protection money, and I didn't force you students from No. 2 Middle School to pay it with a stick. ”

"What you love me, Jiang Jiuling, tell me, which law is violated?"

Damn~ There is still such a thing?

Rao is Jiang Jiuling has been a small leader in the Intellectual Property Office for several years, and his mentality and face are outstanding. At this time, Zhang Ying's slightly playful eyes and words made the old face red.

Too...... It's a shame.

But according to her, she's not so bad that she bubbles.

"You love me" to pay protection money, not to mention in advance whether it is illegal or not, just according to her month, she can earn three or four hundred "huge profits" from a few schools, and those street bastards are unreasonable and unmoved.

In ninety-two, most of the office workers couldn't earn this amount in a month, and she didn't understand social risks as a girl, and the mature Jiang Jiuling, as a neighbor, of course had the obligation to remind her.

With kind words and good words to explain to her the interests of the society, Zhang Ying not only did not appreciate it, but pinched her waist and laughed out loud in a very social way.

She seemed to be laughing at a group of local chickens and dogs.

There seems to be an aura of staring at the world in her.

I have to say that Zhang Ying is very tasteful when she smiles, she has a slender and slender figure, and a beautiful face that is heroic and beautiful.

With her ear-length short hair, Jiang Jiuling dares to guarantee that if Zhang Ying walks on the streets of Mong Kok in Xiangjiang, there will be many talent scouts who want to pull her to make a movie.

Hmm~ if she's not so arrogant.

"Haha~ On the three-third of an acre of land in Wucheng, I haven't been afraid of anyone. Zhang Ying pointed to the courtyard next to him, and said heroically: "Jiang Jiuling, do you know why we never recruit thieves in Lion Alley?"

"It's because of the couplet on my doorstep. ”

After speaking, Zhang Ying patted his bulging waist bag and walked into the door next door.

Jiang Jiuling waited for her to enter the door, and couldn't help but quietly take a look.

The courtyard of Zhang Ying's house is obviously more than twice larger than the courtyard of his own house, and on the courtyard door pulled up by blue bricks, there are two pieces of bluestone inscriptions, one on the left and one on the right, inlaid on both sides of the door.

It was a couplet, engraved with silver hooks and iron paintings.

Left link: 500 years of clothing and first.

Right link: 17th master of archery and horse.
