Chapter 44: The Logic of Interception
Back in the copy shop, Xi'an's nightlife has just begun;
Ye Jinyu, who was used to sleeping late, couldn't sleep either, so he took out the talisman plates for the national teacher and continued to seal the talisman, and there was not much cinnabar from Li Chunfeng, so he prepared some high-end goods before he ran out.
The offset press is very solid, as long as it is not short of paper, or there is no ink, it can be printed until it is old; So the process of sealing the sigil is actually doing and waiting. Boredom, Ye Jinyu moved the chair to the offset printing machine, sat cross-legged on it and began to meditate, letting the qi that was about to collapse at any time follow the route guided by Li Chunfeng.
At the end of the week, Ye Jinyu felt that the little breath seemed to be a little stronger, and it seemed to be his own illusion; However, it is still possible to feel that it will collapse at any time, and the possibility of delusion is even greater.
However, Li Chunfeng said first, if he wants to reach his level, it will take thirty years at the earliest; Ye Jinyu is mentally prepared, and he will not be too disappointed in his heart. The only thing that is not so good is that it is too cold this day, and my body is so cold that I sit like this, and my legs and feet are numb; Take out the quilt from the cubicle, put a corner under your buttocks, and wrap the rest around your body.
Then continue to Sunday.
Sitting and sitting, Ye Jinyu fell asleep.
When he woke up, Ye Jinyu only felt that his legs were numb, but he was full of energy, at least he recovered faster than sleeping. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, or if that mental method really works.
Sitting all night, I was a little hungry, but Ye Jinyu didn't want to open the door, so I casually took a bag of bread from the food pile in the compartment, tore open the package and nibbled on it. Look at the time, it's almost seven o'clock, Chang'an City should come to life.
With a bottle of Wangzai, three mouthfuls and two mouthfuls of bread were eliminated, Ye Jinyu opened the time and space again, and stepped into the Tang Dynasty with one foot;
Li Chunfeng was doing morning class, but there was no trace of the national teacher.
"I've seen Ye Shenren!" Every time Li Chunfeng sees Ye Jinyu in a seat, he will be serious, and he will become cynical only after a few words.
"I've seen Senior Brother Li." Ye Jinyu learned his movements with a clear eye, and then asked, "Why don't you see the national teacher." "In the past, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Guoshi meditated and practiced together, but today there is only Li Chunfeng.
Li Chunfeng said: "Master read the books given by the gods all night last night, and he should still be sleeping in the bedroom at this moment. ”
The daring national teacher found a fun toy, and even the morning class was interrupted. After Ye Jinyu nodded in understanding, he said to Li Chunfeng:
"Senior Brother Li, now the curfew should be better than nothing, can you take me to the Divine Mansion."
Li Chunfeng said: "The gods are at ease, you don't need to do this for you, someone is already waiting for you; At three o'clock today, an angel from the palace came to summon the man of God to the house of the man of God. After learning that you had left last night, he didn't dare to leave, and he kept waiting. ”
Saying that, Li Chunfeng took Ye Jinyu to find the eunuch in the palace.
"I've seen the Ye Shenren." When he saw Ye Jinyu, the eunuch hurriedly saluted; This is the one who was forced by Pei Lin and the emperor to break through the gate of time and space in the early dynasty, and after having the bizarre experience of crossing the divine gate to immortalize, this eunuch was in awe of Ye Shenren and did not dare to slack off.
After seeing the ceremony, he immediately explained: "Godman, Your Majesty told me that the things that Godmen need to prepare, Taifu Temple and the palace have emptied all their inventory, and they have obtained some from various pharmacies and Taoist temples; They have all moved to the house of the gods overnight; ”
Overnight? Ye Jinyu was surprised by Li Yuan's efficiency, is this still the Tang Dynasty that he is familiar with? I couldn't help asking, "Are you ready?" How many are prepared? ”
The eunuch didn't think much about it, and said directly:
"According to the current metric system, there are about two tonnes of sulphur, three tonnes of saltpeter, and thirty tonnes of charcoal."
Li Yuan spared no effort to promote the public step and the metric system, and in just a few days, even the eunuchs in the palace began to use the metric unit for calculation, and they could still use it freely.
Of course, the eunuchs in the palace also want to perform well in front of the emperor, so they study quite hard. This is good, at least it is convenient for Ye Jinyu, and he can understand how many things Li Yuan has prepared as soon as he hears it.
Under the leadership of the eunuch, Ye Jinyu was escorted by several forbidden soldiers to the Divine Mansion.
Walking is really tiring, and when he walked to the God's Mansion, Ye Jinyu once again missed his broken electric car.
"Who? Dare to trespass on the Gods' Place! When I arrived at the gate of the workshop, I heard the armored man standing at the door stop Ye Jinyu and his party.
The eunuch shouted without showing weakness: "Bold! When the man of God returns home, he doesn't open the door quickly. ”
Seeing Ye Jinyu in short-haired cross-dress, the guards knew that it was the main lord who came, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen a god." ”
The eunuch said, "Take a good look at the physical appearance of the gods, and there will be no next time." ”
These forbidden soldiers actually looked at Ye Jinyu carefully very obediently; Ye Jinyu was not used to being looked at as a monkey, and said to the eunuch: "Let's go, let's go and see the materials prepared first." ”
Entering the newly named Gods' Workshop, all the occupants in the Workshop were emptied, except for the craftsmen and technicians who built the Gods' Mansion, only the streets were patrolled by the forbidden soldiers from time to time, and there was not a single outsider; It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a heavily guarded military camp, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to Ye Shenren and the gunpowder that the Shenren said.
Guiding Ye Jinyu into a mansion in the fang, the eunuch said: "According to the instructions of the gods, the craftsmen put saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal in the courtyard of Sanjin; The sergeants used nine large mills to grind these saltpeter sulfur into powder. ”
Sure enough, in the courtyard, a group of big men were grinding shirtless; Originally, the weather was very cold, but these shirtless strong men not only did not mean to be cold, but sweated and steamed, which shows that labor is not only glorious and can get rich, but also go to the cold.
First, the small pieces of ore are crushed with a large stone mill, and then these broken pieces are put into a huge grinding disc, which rotates rapidly under the pull of the sergeant, and the crushed powder is constantly pushed out of the mill; They are then collected in wooden boxes. Look at the corner of the wall, there are already a lot of boxes. Ye Jinyu had never seen how modern society turned these ores into powder, but the simple and crude methods of the people of the Tang Dynasty were breathtaking.
The charcoal put in the first yard, this thing is the easiest to find, the cheapest, and the largest amount collected, in order to facilitate transportation, it is directly piled up in the first yard. Further in, there was brimstone, and the whole courtyard smelled of brimstone; The eunuch didn't dare to let Ye Shenren stay longer, but entered the courtyard for the third time. The innermost part is saltpeter; In these years, saltpeter was very expensive, and there was no synthetic ammonia, so it could only be collected by pure broken saltpeter mines; When Ye Jinyu looked up things on the Internet, he saw that someone could collect nitrate from the toilet, but I don't know if the Tang Dynasty used this method.
After visiting the Sanjin courtyard, the eunuch explained: "Because the time is too hasty, Taifu Temple can only collect so much sulfur and nitrate for the time being. Charcoal is good to say, it is a cold winter, every household has something to prepare, and the palace has prepared a lot early, which can be called at any time; Mainly saltpeter and sulfur, these two things are not of much use, and the amount of storage in Chang'an City is not much. ”
Ye Jinyu nodded, and said in his heart that he had made so many things in a day and a night, and he had ground them into powder for later use. I was already amazed by this efficiency.
Seeing the godman nodding, the eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Godman, is there anything else that needs to be prepared?" Your Majesty waited for the gunpowder of the gods, and waited anxiously. ”
Ye Jinyu also wanted to be fast, but ...... He didn't bring with him how gunpowder was made and how it was made; There is Du Niang available, and he is a modern person who reads pitifully little; After losing Du Niang, you have to be blind to do anything, knowing that the formula is one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal, you have to bring the correct gunpowder ratio data first.
"Let's continue grinding the powder first, and grind all the ore and charcoal into powder!" Ye Jinyu said a word, and the eunuch immediately shouted with a fake tiger: "The gods said, hurry up and work, grind them into powder as soon as possible!" The saint is waiting. ”
After speaking, he lowered his eyebrows and asked Ye Shenren for instructions, and Ye Jinyu said:
"Find me a spacious room, I'm going to get some stuff."
The eunuch hurriedly led the way: "God, please come with me, there is a spacious martial arts hall in General Cheng's mansion before, which should be in line with the will of God." ”
Saying that, the two of them came to a mansion again, and sure enough, there was a super large house, at least much larger than Ye Jinyu's copy shop.
Ye Jinyu was very satisfied, and said to the eunuch: "That's it, I still have to prepare; You go back first, don't wait here. ”
The eunuch wanted to stay, he wanted to find out more about the reality of the gods, so that he could go back and please the emperor; Seeing that Ye Shenren resolutely let himself go, he could only hope for Ai Ai's salvation and said: "If there is anything that the god man needs to send, I am here for the god man to call." ”
Ye Shenren just wanted to go back and move things quickly, and when he noticed the eunuch's expression, he just shook his hand and said, "No, no, let's go!" ”
The eunuch couldn't, he didn't dare to disobey the words of the gods, so he could only turn back and go one step at a time.
Seeing the eunuch close the door, Ye Jinyu casually held a door and whispered, "Go to the copy shop." ”
The next moment, Ye Jinyu returned to the copy shop, kept the space-time door open, didn't dare to delay for too long, and hurriedly took the things he bought from the supermarket and threw them at the door.
Those who can pass through it go directly to the opposite side, and those who can't pass are left at the door.
Quilts, harmonicas, basketballs, and globes are all lost, and a small number of things can pass, but more are ruthlessly intercepted by the space-time gate.
After throwing it for more than ten minutes, Ye Jinyu felt that his body was a little unbearable, and he saw that the large items were almost thrown away, but after missing some small things, he didn't dare to stay longer, passed through the door directly, and then immediately closed the door.
The last crossing still made him a little out of strength, and his feet were a little weak and unstable; In the past, he would sit on the ground and rest and wait for his body to recover on its own.
But now it's different, I just learned an active skill from Li Chunfeng: the primary mental method of the Chongxuan faction, sitting cross-legged on the ground, following the path of the mental method, actively urging that stream of qi to swim away, and the recovery speed was several times faster, and within a few minutes, Ye Jinyu began to sort out the things that were moved over.
There are not many things on the ground, basically there is no food, those packaging bags of food, instant noodles, snacks have not been able to come, not even the dishes, chopsticks and pans for eating. The food couldn't come by, and the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn seeds that he had high hopes for were also cruelly eliminated by the Time and Space Gate; This discovery made Ye Jinyu a little disappointed, only with food can there be a population, and only with a population can there be capital to dominate the world; It seems that Datang can only look for it from South America by itself, and I don't know how long this timeline will drag.
There was nothing to eat, nothing to wear, unopened clothes, socks, underwear, and even quilts, all of which could not come; I can't wear a quilt, so why can I come back with the clothes I am wearing? Strange, do you have to wrap yourself in it to come over?
Look at what's there: paper, punch machines, calculators, staplers, toner, rotten keyboards and the like, and even the official seal of the store has been thrown away, well...... There are no daily necessities or anything like that.
These things spread out on the ground look like they are all in their own copy shop, or can they be used in the copy shop?
Could it be that you can only pass through the space-time gate with what you can use in the copy shop?
That's not right, if that's the case, how to count when the photocopier was not invented and no one opened a copy shop, those who disappeared in this shop have several trades, some open rice and noodle shops, some sell ready-to-wear clothes, and I heard that they were also requisitioned by the Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty to store clothes and antiques. How do these people count?
Suddenly, Ye Jinyu thought of another possibility; Could it be that the interception method of the space-time gate varies from person to person and from store to store? Because I run a copy shop, I can take it with me through time and space, and all the things that can be used in a copy shop; And the things that are not needed, the space-time gate will not give them.
In this case, the owner of the garment shop can carry fabrics, clothes, and even tools and machines for garment weaving. Those who open rice and noodle shops can pass through the door with rice, flour, grain and oil. ...... of opening a warehouse Well, it's a bit unreasonable to make a warehouse in such a small house.
If it is calculated according to this logic, then the previous interception method of the space-time gate can make sense, you can bring a seal, but you can't bring a jade pendant; Seal copy shops can be used, and qualified copy shops can engrave seals, but jade pendants have nothing to do with copy shops.
You can carry copper wire, but you can't bring gold. As long as electricity is used, copper wire must be used, especially for high-power electrical appliances, and copper wire is safer; There are a lot of high-power electrical appliances in the copy shop, so the copper wire can pass through the space-time door, and there is nothing wrong with it. But the gold nugget is not needed by the copy shop...... Do you want to make it into a gold thread?
Why can things like mobile phones and KT board edging strips pass, they are all things that can be used by copy shops.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this space-time gate was set up according to the identity of the shopkeeper; Thinking of this possibility, Ye Jinyu couldn't sit still, regardless of his physical state, he immediately opened the space-time door again and returned to the copy shop, he wanted to push a photocopier to try.
worked hard to push a rotten photocopier that had been used as an accessory machine to the time and space door; Then, unimpeded passed.
Really......
"Damn, if I knew this, then what kind of copy shop should I open, Lao Tzu will open a gold shop, open a weapon shop; No, even opening a grocery store is better than a copy shop! ”
I don't know if it's too late to change the business license now, otherwise according to the fucking rules of the time and space gate, I can only get some prints and printing machines to cross, do you really want me to open a copy shop in the Tang Dynasty?
……
