To be honest, the scrambled eggs with meat oil are quite greasy, Jiao Ming gave up after just a few bites, but the ice lotus Xia Feng ate it with relish, and the bodyguard sister and brother and Luo Hua also flew like chopsticks. In www.biquge.info the end, Jiao Ming couldn't look past it, so in the name of taking care of the sick number, he left half a plate of scrambled eggs to the summer breeze and ate it slowly.

After dinner, Bing Lian came to Jiao Ming's room with a magic lamp and asked about the application of electricity and the next direction of development.

"How do you know I have an idea?" Jiao Ming asked strangely, and at the same time soothed Xiao Shi and Tony Che to sleep, and then left the room.

"Your mind is written on your face. ”

Jiao Ming remembered that Binglian had said something similar in the afternoon, he smiled, scratched his hair like a big boy, and said, "I thought a lot on the way back, but I always felt that it didn't work. ”

"Why?"

"First, there are few people. According to the standards of our earth, crocodiles are only counted as "people" by these thousands of magical warriors, and there are only 10,000 relatives who barely count those who do not have the talent of water magic. Even if a small number of families with other three lines of magical talents are pulled into the chariot in the future, it will only be 20,000 heads. Even if you take into account the magical power of magic, this is exaggerated to the point that with a population of 100 or 2 million on Earth, it is barely able to play the age of steam. ”

More population means more magic warriors, it means more force, and this simple truth is something that every lord understands. At this time, I heard that the population also plays a major role in the development of magic, and Bing Lian can barely understand it with her previous experience, so she nodded and motioned for Jiao Ming to continue.

"The second is the lack of research-oriented talents, you count half, Zhuoshan barely counts one-third, and the rest of the people in the ironworks are full of paste. Jiao Ming unceremoniously gave everyone an evaluation.

"You forgot about yourself. "Binglian is not annoyed by being said to be a 'half' research talent, and she has gone out to study twice and has seen many talents of the same generation, which is still self-aware.

"My head is full of mush, otherwise I wouldn't be inconspicuous back home. Jiao Ming said completely sincerely, without the element of modesty and self-deprecation, seeing Binglian's unbelieving appearance, he explained: "The light of wisdom you see in me is only because I stand on the shoulders of giants. ”

"It's okay to be very high, it doesn't matter what you're standing on. Binglian complimented her tactfully, and then asked, "What about the people I brought back?"

"No contact, no evaluation. Jiao Ming shook his head and continued to talk about the problem: "The last question is the direction of development. In my heart, I have always been biased towards civilians, iron pots, iron plows, etc., and the people of the Crocodile Collar seem to be interested in things for military purposes. ”

"Then you can make some weapons. Binglian's words were also completely the voices of Ms. Ziyu and the others.

"Herein lies the problem, magic warriors are best suited for cold weapons. In my world, cold weapons have long been eliminated by hot weapons, but because of the effect of magical power, hot weapons may be limited in power to this world. Jiao Ming waved his hand, arranged a film with abnormal space in front of him, and asked, "What do you call this a protective arrow?"

The film that can teleport objects away from contact was learned by Jiao Ming by accident during experiments, and then improved on the description of what he saw and heard on the battlefield according to the description of the six-ring magic warrior apprentice. Because no matter how fast things are, they are useless in front of the distorted space, just like a formula car that can only go on a special track, and get off the track or slow down or overturn. It's the same with arrows and bullets, and it's all in vain to encounter this kind of spatial power that can distort the 'track'.

"That's pretty much the name. Binglian nodded.

Jiao Ming explained the principle and history of the famous thermal weapon of firearms, pointed out its embarrassment in the face of magic, and finally added: "I really can't think of a weapon suitable for a magical warrior." ”

"Then what do you mean by this pile of one, two, three?" asked Binglian suspiciously.

"I think my task is to set the foundation, not the direction. By the way, do you know how to make glass?"

Binglian didn't know what glass was, so Jiao Ming pointed to the bulb of the magic lamp. Binglian nodded: "I can barely do it, but I can't achieve such a light transmittance." ”

"That's good. Jiao Ming smiled slightly and told the arrangements for tomorrow.

The next day, the two of them came to the ironworks again, first occupied a newly built three-story reinforced concrete building, and then began to arrest people according to the prepared list, picking out all the magicians with bright heads, and finally announced the establishment of a magic research institute. Then the first mission of the institute was announced: quantification. That is, to make weights and rulers, the only requirement is accuracy, as for how to be accurate, you can figure it out yourself, and declare that there is a reward for thinking of a way.

Immediately afterwards, he drew all kinds of experimental equipment in middle school chemistry according to his memory, handed it to Binglian, and advised: "I don't know the production process either, so I ask you and your subordinates to study it slowly." ”

"You're sure that these 'bases' are worth reducing the output of the ironworks. ”

Since this ironworks is full of magicians, the number of people is not large, and nearly a third of the personnel have been transferred this time, and the output has been greatly affected.

"It's not very useful to make weapons now, and it's okay to have fewer people in the ironworks. ”

Bing Lian's head wrinkled slightly, obviously not convinced, but she still nodded and continued to make personnel arrangements according to last night's plan. In fact, Jiao Ming had already planned this laboratory, but the expedition was imminent in winter, and everyone was busy making weapons. And then Binglian's departure made Jiao Ming's position awkward, and the identity of 'Young Lord's Strategist' was not enough to lead everyone, so it was not really realized until this time.

After arranging everyone, Jiao Ming also moved the old space laboratory and began to design a simple electric machine tool. In the twenty-first century, the earth machine tool has become extremely complex after many years of development, but in the final analysis, the principle of the machine tool is very simple, that is, a table that can rotate and can hold a metal block and a cutter that can be telescopic and moving.

Accuracy aside, as long as there is a simple knowledge of three-dimensional geometry, it is not difficult to design one according to the principle, and the only difficulty lies in the high hardness of the cutter head, and Jiao Ming's solution to this is to drench in blood. Of course, Jiao Ming's own level is of course not good, so this knife head Jiao Ming is ready to ask the eight-ring magic warrior to make a move.

This move naturally can't be hidden, but Ms. Ziyu in the womb didn't say much, and a few days later, she even stuffed many eighteen or nineteen-year-old teenagers over. Jiao Ming instructed Luo Hua to inquire, only then did she know that real estate was about to run out, most of the families had already lived in stone castles, and the enthusiasm for labor began to decline, and more and more people were waiting for the new reinforced concrete houses to be built or still working in order to improve the situation of many people crammed into one room.

"You see, that's the disadvantage of having fewer people, and the real estate market with thousands of people hasn't been able to turn around in less than a year. On the way off work, Jiao Ming said unwillingly: "If it is replaced by hundreds of millions of people, it is not enough to play for 20 years." ”

"You're idle, and you care about real estate. I make magnets in the morning and glass in the afternoon, and I'm almost exhausted. Binglian complained.

"So there are few people, and it is said that this iron tool has been produced steadily, and we really can't sell some for food?" Jiao Ming had raised this question earlier, but it was denied for only one reason: Crocodile Collar believes that this thing is not for sale like 'nuclear fuel'.

"Don't think about it, it's impossible. Binglian shook her head.

"Picking the door is a disease, and it must be cured. Jiao Ming's face was entangled.

"You go and heal, cure a lord and I'll give you a reward. Binglian joked along with the conversation.

Jiao Ming smiled bitterly, then changed the topic and made a suggestion: "I think we should start recruiting people with qi magic throughout the territory, and now the amount of iron ore mining is the most bottlenecked link. ”

Ice Lotus nodded in agreement, but then said the difficulty, because the people with magical talents in Sardinia City had already been recruited, and the low-ring talents scattered throughout the Crocodile Territory could not convey the message of recruitment at all.

After listening to this, Jiao Ming scratched his head and said, "I don't have anything to do about this." How about borrowing the power of the big and small lords everywhere?"

"The methods of those lords are quite simple and crude, and if you don't want to get a bunch of enemies, you can't even let the lords know that we want to recruit magical talents among the people of the territory. Binglian shook her head and sighed.

"How about recruiting from outside the territory?"

"You're going to recruit half of the agents of the various factions. Binglian still shook her head.

"Do you want to wait for next year's Spring Ploughing Festival and wait outside the Mage Tower in Sardinia City?"

"If you can't think of a better way, that's all you can do. Ice Lotus shrugged, then said, "So let's think about how to dig up more iron ore with the existing manpower, according to Zhuo Shan, his creeper seems to be of great help, how about matching one for each Qi magician?"

"Do you want to exhaust Xiaoshi?" said Jiao Ming angrily. In fact, Jiao Ming had this idea for a long time, but according to Xiao Shi, this magic connection is not simple, and plants and animals are different. The soul of the animal is more active, and after a connection, the human and the cow get close to each other, and the souls of the two will automatically accept each other. The soul of the plant is very inert, and it takes several spells to achieve the effect after a connection. Jiao Ming tried to ask Xiaoshi to teach others this method of connection, but Xiaoshi still shook his head, saying that although he could use it, he really couldn't explain why. Jiao Ming was helpless, touched Xiaoshi's head, said a stupid girl, and put the matter in the back of his mind.

"Isn't there something strange about Xiao Shi?" Bing Lian stared at Jiao Ming's face, not letting go of the slightest change in expression.

"What?"

"Little Poetry seems to have too much understanding of earth-based magic, and none of us have taught her anything. ”

"Good understanding. Jiao Ming didn't care.

"I hope so. ”

The two chatted like this, and soon returned to the town of Long Vine, and then received news that a lord on the eastern shore of the Crocodile Peninsula had found an unconscious strange man on the seashore. According to the brief description in the telegram, the man was 1.3 meters tall, muscular and covered in red stripes. Jiao Ming and Binglian just regarded it as an anecdote, even if they saw it, they didn't take it to heart.

......

The problem of iron ore production has always plagued Jiao Ming, and in the end, he asked Xiao Shi to help, and made a connection magic for the five qi magicians. According to Burning Shan's experience, if the creeper is arranged in the whole room to form a cage shape, the mage can do more with less in mining. Jiao Ming tried it but didn't feel anything, probably because of the silver ring, the other blessing effects were not obvious.

And that group of fire magicians were obedient under the management of Ice Lotus, and there was no news of infighting. The newly established Magic Research Institute also quickly bore fruit, and the standard ruler made further progress on the basis of the old ruler made by Jiao Ming in winter. The idea and working principle of the 'vernier caliper' thrown out by Jiao Ming made this group of people go to a higher level in line with the concept of excellence.

With a more accurate ruler, a more accurate mass can be determined, and with a weight of accurate quality, with the glass products made of ice lotus, various combustion-related verification experiments can be quickly completed, such as the determination of oxygen content in the air, the molar mass ratio of carbon and oxygen, the electrolysis of water and the molar mass ratio of hydrogen and oxygen, etc. Binglian even completed this classic junior high school chemistry experiment of the reaction of iron and copper sulfate solution according to the displacement reaction explained by Jiao Ming last year.

Jiao Ming looked at the gradually discolored solution and the precipitated copper, as well as other experimental results, especially the data with an oxygen content of 21%, and felt both nostalgic and strange.

"What's next?" Binglian, who was tired and slumped in her chair, had no less curiosity in her eyes, these chemical experiments had completely aroused her interest, which were much more interesting than last year's boring popular science chemistry education.

"Let me think about it......" Jiao Ming touched his chin and said, "Let's prepare elemental matter, start with hydrogen according to the periodic table." ”

"In addition to inert gases, what if there are some uncommon ones? And what are you going to do with it?"

"Those have been missed, and the empty seats are left to be filled later. As for what to do with it, I will think about it slowly. ”

Chemistry experiments have made rapid progress, and generators have also made great progress, large permanent magnets have been made, and after being made into generators, larger magnets can be magnetized, and the power source is those magical warriors who have no strength to use. In the production process, Jiao Ming found that many difficulties can be solved by magic, such as the steel balls in the bearing, as long as they are directly cut out with space transmission.

The made electric machine tool was quickly tested, but he didn't expect the steel cutter blessed by the blood of the eight-ring magic warrior to break directly, Jiao Ming pinched the broken knife head, and said to the stunned old man next to him: "Uncle, you're not lazy, are you?"

"Absolutely not!" the old man grabbed the tip of the knife and looked at it over and over again, equally confused.

Binglian stepped forward with a smile and said, "You have to find a professional for this kind of thing like enchantment: Vera and her father. ”

"Are you sure you can convince him?" Jiao Ming asked.

"Try it. ”

The machine tool test ended early, and the generator could not be idle, Jiao Ming began to try to electrify the steel plate of the space magic circle according to Binglian's suggestion, according to Binglian, this is a common means used by space magicians, and the specific effect is that it can help cast spells. And Jiao Ming tried it several times but didn't find anything.
