Chapter 18: Talking

This rescue has brought many changes to Feng Chen's life, for example, his popularity in the shelter has skyrocketed, even if he didn't hear about Chang Yunbin's accident that day, he also learned about Feng Chen's deeds one after another, for example, Bachar and others have a lot more trust in Feng Chen, and their attitude towards him is much better, for example, from then on, he had to carry a magic rune with him, yes, it was the one that Old Man Chang gave him.

The rune is made of pig iron, black and red, the shape is similar to that of a shield, the clumsy craftsmanship is like the ancient coins of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, or the inferior kind, there is a faint human head on it, and the old man Chang said that it is the goddess, which makes the rune more like an inferior ancient coin. But no matter what, he had to carry it with him, after all, this was what Old Man Chang had prayed for for more than ten hours! Well, this point on the left is what Old Man Chang repeatedly emphasized.

But the most important change came from his meeting with Liu Jing again.

"Please come in."

Feng Chen pushed the door and walked into Liu Jing's office.

"Please sit down," Liu Jing said, took out a bag of spicy strips and handed it over: "Do you want to eat spicy strips?" ”

Feng Chen: ...... In this case, isn't it generally a question of drinking tea? Well, there is no tea in the shelter either.

He waved his hand and sat down in his seat: "No, thank you." ”

Liu Jing put the spicy strips aside, crossed her hands to support her chin, and looked at Feng Chen. After a while, she said, "I have to admit that I am beginning to believe what you say about the mother machine, the incredible variety and quantity of its production, and I admit, the prospect is very tempting." ”

Feng Chen was not surprised, if he refused to believe what he said because he didn't understand it at all and was unimaginable, it could still be regarded as cautious and steady, then when he made three drugs that could be called miracle drugs to revive Chang Yunbin, he still refused to believe it, it was completely narrow-minded and stupid. At least Feng Chen proved that his words could be fulfilled.

Obviously, Liu Jing is not that kind of person.

"I want to ask you, how far would you be able to do if the Shelter had the maximum resources to support you in expanding your mother's capabilities? Will it be like you say, it can produce millions of products, even in quantities like grains of sand? Liu Jing asked.

"No, it won't." Feng Chen's answer was very decisive: "Millions of products gushing out like grains of sand or something, it can only be regarded as a long-term vision, and it is likely that it will not be possible for decades." Maybe it was able to do this in the era when the mother machine was born, but now it is not, there are too many restrictions! I haven't finished reading the manual yet, and when I'm done, I'm going to do a full inspection of the machine, but I don't expect it to be in good shape. By the way, how long has the shelter been in existence? ”

Liu Jing looked hesitant: "Maybe one or two hundred years......

"Anyway, it's a long time, and in such a long time, the mother machine may have not rested and continued to run for a long time, and it may have accumulated a lot of failures, and this state is definitely not able to produce at full capacity. Secondly, our ability to obtain resources from the outside world is still very weak, and we basically rely on the manpower transportation of the resource supply department, which is far from meeting the demand for raw materials of the mother machine. Moreover, the distribution, type, and quantity of external resources may not meet our requirements. Therefore, it is unrealistic to want to produce at full capacity. ”

"There are a lot of restrictions, but it's much more reliable than the product being like a grain of sand or something. I thought you'd pat your chest and say you could do it. Liu Jing was a little surprised.

"I'd like to do what I said, but it's not allowed." Feng Chen said helplessly.

If nothing else, water resources are obviously scarce! Just look at the dusty cities and the endless desert. Feng Chen didn't know where the water in the shelter came from, only that it would be processed by the mother machine.

Liu Jing picked up the pen: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"It depends on the needs of the shelter," Feng Chen said, "If you want to improve the quality of life, I will find ways to make more varied and delicious food, better clothes, more comfortable furniture, etc.; If you ask for medical capacity, I will make more medicines and medical instruments and utensils. Of course, the general idea is to make some mining machines and transporters to improve the shelter's ability to obtain resources, and then make some much-needed things, and then depending on the situation. ”

"So you decided to make mining machines and transporters first?" Liu Jing asked. Although she had never seen a mining machine or a transporter, she could guess the function of these two things by hearing the name.

Feng Chen nodded.

Don't look at the glorious development of human society in the past, all kinds of dazzling high-tech products, strange modern buildings, huge cities, transportation networks connecting entire continents, etc., but in fact, it is all built on the dirty and inconspicuous mining industry. Without the various resources obtained from nature, human society cannot be established at all. In this sense, the ability to obtain resources from the natural world also represents the degree of development of a civilization.

It's a must to build mining machines, transport trucks, etc.!

Just play a construction game.

"But that's not what I want to do the most." After a pause, Feng Chen continued.

"Huh?"

"Speaking from the heart, it is a very simple thing to control the mother machine, and all kinds of unhappiness and all kinds of frightening are just because you don't know the Chinese characters, which are what you call ancient characters. In fact, anyone who knows ancient characters, as long as he is trained for a few days at most, he will be able to skillfully control the mother machine, and even know a little bit of skills in repairing the mother machine! It's really not that hard. Chen Mingyue's manipulation formulas don't need to be memorized at all. ”

Liu Jing sighed: "The first time I saw you get started, I guessed this possibility, but the problem is that no one knows ancient characters except you, okay, Chinese characters." ”

"So, I want to teach you kanji! Teach it to all! Feng Chen said with a smile.

Liu Jing's face was stunned: "You want to teach all of us Chinese characters?!" ”

"That's right! It's strange to me that what we're talking about is Chinese, and Chinese characters are originally the corresponding Chinese characters, but you have almost completely forgotten about them. Every word we say has a corresponding character in Chinese characters, and there is such a thing as Hanyu Pinyin, believe me, you will learn it quickly. Of course, you have to suffer a little. ”

Liu Jing's expression had turned into surprise: "You really want to teach everyone ancient characters, uh, Chinese characters?" But in that case—"

As if realizing that the next words were a bit offensive, Liu Jing didn't finish speaking. However, Feng Chen guessed what Liu Jing wanted to say. Everyone knows Chinese characters and can control the mother machine, what else do you want to do? She must have wanted to say this.

Of course, Feng Chen was not so selfless. He has his own ideas. First of all, he felt very awkward to see a group of people who were similar to himself speaking Chinese, but using a completely unfamiliar and strange-looking script. Regardless of whether he traveled here or how he got here, he wanted Chinese characters, or the culture of his own people, to pass on, so he really wanted to spread Chinese characters.

Secondly, he is confident that a young man from modern society with a broad vision can use his vision and thinking to bring something different to the shelter, and these two things are the most valuable things in his mind.

Seeing that Feng Chen was serious, Liu Jing couldn't help but say solemnly, "The shelter will remember your selflessness." ”

Feng Chen waved his hand again and again: "Don't!" When it's time for class, you'll definitely not think like that when you're scolded by me! ”

Liu Jing: "What? ”

The two then talked about some details, and just when Feng Chen felt that it was about the same, Liu Jing suddenly stood up and said, "Feng Chen, you come to have a meeting with me." ”

Feng Chen: "Meeting? ”

"Hmm!" Liu Jing said: "Chang Yunbin almost died, and the attacks on the diagonal area have become more and more frequent recently, we have to think about how to teach those guys a lesson!" ”
