After the joke, Jiao Ming took the paper in Binglian's hand and carefully looked at the graphics and words on it. The painting level of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Binglian is really not flattering, and the strength is limited compared to the stick figure of primary school students, but after cooperating with the text, the meaning is quite clear. While looking at the picture, I can't forget to arrange a small poem: "Find some books for this little guy to read, it would be better if he could have a little connection with the earth-based magic elements." ”

"In that case, there will only be one copy of the Four Elephants Meditation Method" Bing Lian looked at Jiao Ming's incredulous appearance, and continued: "Books on magic knowledge are very expensive, I have already said it." We don't have anyone in the crocodile realm who cultivates earth-based magic, so naturally we won't buy those books. ”

Jiao Ming pointed to the bookshelves that covered a wall: "Then these are all ......"

"Records the history of the family and what some of our ancestors saw when they traveled. Binglian also looked at those books, with both pride and helplessness in her eyes: "These books seem to be a lot, but in fact, the paper is too thick, and they can't be compared with those hardcover magic books in the magic academy." ”

The paper was too thick, and Jiao Ming was completely speechless at this explanation. He handed the copy of "Four Elephant Meditation Method" to Xiao Shi, and said earnestly: "The earth-based magic business of the territory will be handed over to you!"

"My dad said something similar when I first went to elementary school!" Xiao Shi held the magic book and made a bitter face, "But he never mentioned it again after I took my first semester report card home." ”

"Read the book carefully! If there is a promotion ring, the big brother will reward you!" Jiao Ming reluctantly took out this set.

"What reward?" Xiao Shi naturally became interested.

"You also know the situation of the territory, you can open it casually. Jiao Ming's answer was very scoundrel, and Xiao Shi snorted and opened the "Four Elephants Meditation Method".

......

After arranging the poems, Jiao Ming turned his attention back to the piece of paper again, pointed to the picture and asked, "Do you want to make an enlarged version of the earthen furnace?"

"Yes. Binglian nodded.

Jiao Ming was noncommittal, and instead asked, "Let's talk about the afternoon experiment, what are the specific results?"

"If the transformation process of making cement is purely driven by a fire-based magic medium, it will require at least six rings, but with the help of high temperatures, it should only be about five rings, so in summary, it reduces the difficulty of casting one ring. Binglian said as she revised and revised the drawings.

"Didn't you say that you could barely make it?" Jiao Ming asked strangely, Jiao Ming remembered that the ice lotus was only a fire magician of the four rings.

"Let me give you an analogy. "It's like running, we can sprint at great speed, but we can't run at the same speed to Sardinia City," she explained. ”

Jiao Ming nodded, then pointed to the drawings and asked, "What do these little people mean? These are people, right?" These symbols, the general thing, is a 'big' character with drooping arms, and a small circle on it, although Jiao Ming guessed that it was a person, he was not sure at all.

Ice Lotus laughed proudly and said: "This is my proud design! Using some magic apprentices around the second ring to catalyze the burning of firewood, so that the temperature in the kiln is higher, I think the process of firing cement can be lowered by half a ring or even one ring, so that I can also cast spells on a large scale for a long time." ”

"Wonderful design. Jiao Ming couldn't help but praise aloud, in order not to be compared, Jiao Ming also turned his brain and put forward his own ideas: "We can also add a blower." ”

Binglian didn't know what a blower was, so Jiao Ming drew the structure of a bellows, "The core of this bellows is these four small live valves. ”

"I don't understand, what do these things ask to turn on and off automatically?" Binglian asked with a frown.

Jiao Ming explained what air pressure and the operation process of the small valve were again, and Binglian exclaimed exquisitely after listening to it. "In this way, if there is inlet air, there must be outlet, otherwise, according to the principle of air pressure, wouldn't this furnace have to be fried?"

"So the design of this furnace also needs to be changed, and your simple scaling up method is too untechnical. Jiao Ming took a pen and paper, drew a new drawing of the kiln, put the firewood burning on the side and added a passage for air inlet and outlet. Suddenly remembering something, he said, "Anyway, where is this thing built?"

"Backyard. Binglian replied without thinking about it.

"No, no, no, I think we can put this kiln at the foot of the hill to the north, and if we choose a suitable cave, we can reduce at least half of the workload! After all, it is from the earth, and Jiao Ming naturally understands the importance of the location of the factory.

"Oh yes, I didn't think of that. As soon as Binglian heard it, she understood how much effort it would save, so she naturally agreed.

"These problems have been solved, what about these magic apprentices of the Second Ring?" Jiao Ming asked. Binglian just glanced at the poem, and Jiao Ming instantly understood that hiring child labor was indeed a black-hearted boss.

"It's just temporary, in fact, you can find many civilians and porters in the first or even half rings in Sardinia City, and after recruiting them, you can become a second-ring magic apprentice who can only catalyze the burning of firewood in a quarter. Binglian obviously thought of this method when she was drawing those few villains.

"Since you have a talent for magic, how can you return to being a commoner and a coolie?" Jiao Ming was a little puzzled.

"It's simple, no money. Bing Lian spread her hands, "In the early days of the Magic Era, there were not many one ring and two rings, and if it was the talent of the third ring and the fourth ring, the mentors of the high ring would have to break their heads." The current situation is that civilians need the four-ring talent to barely qualify for entering the wizard's circle. ”

"Isn't that old man from a civilian background?"

"So he's only seven rings at such an age, and it seems that he has only been freed in recent years, so it's estimated that he spent the first half of his life making magic tools for a certain mentor. ”

This speculation is reasonable, but Jiao Ming feels dark when he hears it.

"Anyway, when I was in Sardinia, many of those little guys had a talent for magic, but no one seemed to pay attention to it. Unwilling to speculate further about the old man's past, Jiao Ming changed the topic.

"The first reason is that their water magic talent is higher, and the second reason is that these little guys naturally understand the situation of the crocodile collar, so they all give up the talents of the other three systems by default. Binglian also felt pity, but there was nothing she could do, and even felt a sense of guilt.

"If nothing else, at least the fire system has you. ”

"Their elders would break their legs if they knew that their children would not practice hard as magic warriors, but instead learn to demonize the soil. Binglian replied with a wry smile.

"Your legs are still on your body, and your dad is very interesting. ”

"I'm glad about that. Binglian said with a smile, but Jiao Ming couldn't tell the complex emotions contained in her smile one by one. "This furnace is settled, let's start working tomorrow!"

"As you wish. My lord, what about the specific arrangements?"

"You won't be able to help you for the time being, so get on with what you're doing. Tomorrow Xia Feng and I will personally find a suitable cave, and then organize coolies to transport loess and sand over. Then he turned to Xiao Shi and said, "After the adult's business is finished, you can go back to sleep." ”

Xiaoshi closed the book and came to Jiao Ming's side. The magic lamp went out, and Binglian pushed Jiao Ming back to the room. Nothing was said all night.
