Chapter 183 Communication Network III
Although it did not go well in this regard, Jiao Ming, who returned to Changteng Town, turned to another plan: laying a communication network. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The first is the 'telephone booth', that is, the 'space heights' room arranged by vines, Jiao Ming teleported ten thick vines from the main vine of the northern castle to make a potted plant, and after finding Lady Purple Feather, he asked her to distribute them to various important places in the Crocodile Territory on his behalf.
Lady Ziyu was stunned when she heard this, and said, "Why didn't you say such a good way earlier?"
"That's what I just thought. Jiao Ming laughed dryly, and then said the second step of the plan: the human flesh telephone. "Then I have to ask you to allocate some of the Qi mages you can trust. ”
At this time, as the supreme leader of the territory, Lady Purple Feather completed the allocation work with a stroke of the pen, and the next day, ten qi mages who had been dug up by mining were transferred to learn the use of the communication box.
Jiao Ming took them to the space laboratory, took out drawings and steel sheets, and asked them to make the latest communication box by themselves under the pretext of familiarizing themselves with the structure of the communication box. After settling these people, Jiao Ming came to the ironworks again with Xiaoshi, and after a night of thinking, there was already a preliminary improvement plan.
"Here you are, sir. Zhuoshan, who was waiting next to the creeper, saw Jiao Ming and said with an embarrassed face.
Jiao Ming nodded and asked, "How did you sleep last night?"
"Don't hide it, sir, it's not good. Zhuo Shan smiled bitterly, and when he saw Jiao Ming's puzzled eyes, he explained: "I disappointed my husband yesterday. ”
"You're just too preoccupied. Jiao Ming sighed, pulled Zhuoshan to squat down at the base of the wall, and continued: "I know a little about the crocodile leader's ethos, I can guess what happened to you in your childhood, although I guessed it, I really can't understand it, so I don't say any nonsense that I understand." If I were a psychiatrist, I would probably be able to persuade you to let go of your baggage. Speaking of this, Jiao Ming shrugged. “...... It's a pity that I'm not, so I can only try some simple and crude methods, and you won't blame me?"
Zhuo Shan's facial muscles twitched when he heard the front, and finally just nodded firmly: "I won't blame ......" Halfway through his words, Zhuo Shan's eyes rolled white, and his body fell forward softly, but he was held up by Zi Mang, who appeared behind him at some point.
"You can't afford to break it, right? Jiao Ming asked Zimang, very worried.
"Don't worry, all right. Zimang said as he fiddled with the unconscious scorched fir like a chicken, and laid it flat on the main stem of the creeper.
Xiaoshi stepped forward, raised her hand and slightly furrowed her cute little eyebrows.
"Still can't do it?" Jiao Ming asked.
"Okay!" Xiao Shi withdrew his arm and smiled at Jiao Ming, but then his face showed unbearable expression: "But if you want to achieve the same effect as you, you need to keep casting spells to strengthen the connection, and he is so pitiful every time he does this." ”
"With this first time, maybe it won't be too exclusive in the future. Jiao Ming said this, but the thoughts in his heart were quite dirty, and he only thought that this was similar to the psychology of 'forcing the first time' and breaking the can later. Whether it is a failure to quit smoking or drinking, or a moral decline, it is probably due to this mentality.
At this point, the problem was temporarily solved, and the consequence was that Zhuo Shan was absent from work for a long time, and after that, the qi magicians who heard about this and had too many eyes in their hearts obediently did their own psychological construction, and they no longer needed Jiao Ming to bother with this.
In the next few days, Jiao Ming tried his best to cultivate the 'human flesh telephone', and at the same time, during the chat, he found that among these guys, they were not only tired of mining, but also a group of people who failed to deal with Zhuoshan. Jiao Ming secretly sighed in his heart that battles were everywhere, and when a few people had probably mastered the technique, he divided these people into two groups and arranged them to slowly train their skills in two 'phone booths'.
Since then, the town of Long Vine and the northern castle have realized magical telegraph communication, which Jiao Ming thinks is a huge improvement, but unfortunately no one around understands it. Jiao Ming was proud of this, and of course he wanted to move, but for safety reasons, he only moved to the other side of Ms. Purple Feather's room, and then the creeper began to spread wildly to the new room in line with the principle of being close to Jiao Ming.
The following days became regular and dull again, Jiao Ming either studied qi magic every day, or talked to Binglian on the phone, by the way, he provided communication services for the crocodile lord nobles in the form of a fee, and from time to time he would also visit the three major duke enterprises.
At the same time, according to Binglian's instructions, Shining Scale would also transmit the knowledge about qi magic learned from the magic academy to Jiao Ming in the form of notes, and Jiao Ming found that it was quite rudimentary after reading some of it, but it was not easy to refute this kindness, so he recorded it and looked at it from time to time to change his thinking.
It seems that the scorching cedar is really 'breaking and falling', and the follow-up process is very smooth, but his creeper does not have the bonus of the water magic medium, and the growth rate is the same as that of the wild creeper, and it will take a long time to have an effect.
When the weather finally started to get hot, Evan offered to resign and buy a two-handed sword with the work he earned from managing the construction company, and Lady Purple Feather muttered a little about the deal, but agreed under Jiao Ming's persuasion. After all, this job is worthless without the crocodile collar, and Evan is not from a low background, so he obviously doesn't look down on a few copper plates.
Seeing this, Semier also moved her mind, and used the work she earned from participating in the construction of the house to buy a two-handed sword, but she couldn't lift it. Jiao Ming asked him why he bought it, and Semier pouted and replied as a souvenir.
Jiao Ming was in a very complicated mood when he sent Evan away, this person was full of aristocratic style, and he had nothing wrong with dealing with people, but for some reason Jiao Ming just didn't like him.
Soon after Evan left, Master Mar also resigned, and with the reminders of the first two, Jiao Ming asked him what he wanted to buy with his labor. Master Marr scratched his bald head, but refused, on the grounds that he didn't want anything. Jiao Ming couldn't get away with it, and took it upon himself to create a 'flower monk-style' crescent moon shovel. Master Marr reluctantly accepted it, and set off with dry food.
But a few days later, Master Mar returned, and Jiao Ming was shocked and then laughed, and asked, "Your god has issued an oracle again?"
Last year, when the weather turned cold, Master Marr left the crocodile territory as agreed, but he didn't want to receive an oracle just after walking a short distance, so he had to return and happened to tell Jiao Ming how to cure Toniche. At this time, it was half a year in the blink of an eye, and Master Marr tried again, but he still couldn't leave the crocodile territory.
"Exactly. Master Marr carried the shovel, twisted his eyebrows into a big pimple, and then moved the bricks as always. That night, Master Mar, who had been thinking about such a foolish situation, once again burst out of his magic and tried to communicate with the gods and ask why. This time it was even more complete than the one last fall, and the green light on his head reflected the stars in the sky, but the result was still not heeded by God.
Master Marr did not believe in evil and left again the next day, returning a third time a few days later.
Jiao Ming smiled when he saw it, remembering that Master Mar's belief in his own gods was very reasonable, and he once clearly stated that he had doubts about 'gods'. On the basis of this rational belief, being molested like this can still obey the oracle, and it is also thanks to Master Mar's good temper.
"Can you ask what the oracle said?" Jiao Ming asked, seeing Master Mar's hesitation, he added: "If it's a taboo, I don't ask, I just want to help you analyze and analyze, in case there is any misunderstanding, maybe it's not possible." ”
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness, but the oracle is a kind of soul communication, and misunderstanding is impossible. Master Marr looked at the sunset, looking lonely.
"Then let me ask again, what will happen if you disobey the oracle?"
"Not so much. ”
"In the teachings of your religion, is there no punishment for disobeying oracles?"
"Punishment for penance. ”
Jiao Ming was speechless when he heard this, and at the same time further understood the reason why Master Mar was kicked out, this kind of shameless and shameless nine-ring powerhouse who told the truth and cultivated into the Tao was simply an invincible existence like hob meat. It's like there are people on the earth who like to go to prison, and in countries that have abolished the death penalty, what can be done about such eccentric people, the more you imprison them, the happier you are, and the only way is to exile.
"Then I wonder what the master plans next?"
"I'll try again in half a year. ”
This is the end of Master Mar's affairs, but the rest of the things have come to fruition.
The creepers that were distributed by Ms. Purple Feather to the various important places in the crocodile territory were long enough, after all, the purpose of this time was clear, since it was a 'phone booth', then it was simply made into a phone booth size, which greatly saved the growth time of the creeper. Jiao Ming followed the instructions, and the cow kept sneaking around with those 'human flesh telephones'. In Sardinia City, several strategic points on the southern border, and the homes of several big nobles were renovated one by one, Jiao Ming found a major problem: the 'network' was not simple, and it was not something that the existing 'one-to-one' telegraph could handle.
In the end, Jiao Ming could only use Changteng Town as the transfer center, so there was no embarrassing situation of one person carrying more than a dozen communication boxes.
Compared to the smooth progress of the 'phone booth', the mushroom side was not optimistic, only two barely survived, one brown and one gray-white, the kind of poisonous mushroom that is very helpful for magical warriors to cultivate the strength of internal organs did not get away with it. Jiao Ming emptied and disinfected the stone chambers that had failed in cultivation, and then expanded the production of the two surviving mushrooms, and at the same time transferred a few clever coolies from the old door board again, and promised to take care of these mushrooms to marry a wife.
And then the class notes that came from Shining Scale finally worked, and under its inspiration, Jiao Ming combined the existing crude version of the human teleportation technology to finally achieve the harmless teleportation of chickens and ducks.
The establishment of the communication network and these multiple teleportation experiments were carried out with great fanfare, and Vera's father saw it in his eyes, but never expressed his opinion. After the safe transmission of chickens and ducks was successful, the old man rarely praised Jiao Ming: "The young man is the same as I was back then." ”
Having said that, Jiao Ming's ears and the old man's faint smile, which can be called incomparably vicissitudes, always have a feeling that is not a taste. Thinking of the story told by Vera, although this old man won the favor of his mentor and beauty with his skills, the ending was very tragic, not only was his hands cut off, but his family was ruined. If possible, it's better not to be as old as you were when you were old.
These thoughts flashed through Jiao Ming's mind, and then replied, "You praised it falsely. ”
The old man naturally saw that Jiao Ming's words were insincere, but after experiencing a big change, he saw the world and didn't care, just smiled and left.
Time passed, the sorghum gradually grew taller, and the new-style houses in Changteng Town were slowly built more and more, Jiao Ming heard that the smelting department of the fire magician of the ironworks had a few conflicts, but he was too lazy to care, just staying in the laboratory to study the gas magic. It wasn't until the time of the sorghum heading that the daily telephone communication between Binglian and Jiao Ming suddenly stopped.
Jiao Ming was a little flustered, and asked Shining Scale, but Shining Scale didn't answer this, and wanted to ask Ms. Purple Feather, but stopped in time, secretly scolded himself for being dizzy, and asked Ms. Purple Feather what was the use. All kinds of cranky thoughts swirled in his mind, and Jiao Ming didn't think about it until seven days later, a message came from the 'phone booth' left behind in Sardinia City: Bing Lian Gui, slightly injured, Xia Feng seriously injured.
Ms. Purple Feather jumped out of the window on the spot, and within a few breaths, she was gone. And Jiao Ming was also anxious, so he had to ride a hammer to Sardinia City, and after a long day and a night, he finally saw a long-lost beauty in Sardinia City. When he saw the palm of Binglian's right hand, Jiao Ming's qi and blood attacked his heart, coupled with the accumulation of emotions for many days and the fact that he stayed up late yesterday and fainted in front of him.
I don't know how long it took, Jiao Ming woke up slowly, turned around and saw the ice lotus lying on the side of the bed, and suddenly felt ashamed. It's a shame that a big man like this fainted like this, and he was thrown to his grandmother's house.
Binglian was awakened by Jiao Ming's movements, raised her head, sleepy-eyed, and asked, "Are you awake?" I heard that you haven't eaten well and slept well in the past few days?"
Jiao Ming didn't answer, just reached out and grabbed the severed palm of the ice lotus and put it on his face, saying, "I should be by your side to protect you." ”
Binglian smiled, didn't care about her temporary disability, and said, "You can't beat me in those two strokes, and protect me......" After saying that, she clapped her hands, and Luo Hua came in and took the food.
"I didn't want you to worry, so I sealed the mouth of the scales, but I didn't want you to be like this. Now that you've seen me, it's time to eat. ”
Binglian's tone was completely coaxing the child, Jiao Ming's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he hurriedly took the rice bowl and bought his head to eat it, even if he was hungry, he was hiding it. After eating a few bites, Jiao Ming remembered what was going on again and said, "I want to hear what's going on." ”
"It's nothing more than alchemy. Binglian brushed her hair, saying it lightly, and didn't seem to care.
Jiao Ming was not satisfied with this brief answer, but he felt that he had no position to get to the bottom of it, and asked, "How is Xia Feng?"
Binglian lowered her head, she was like a sister after getting along with Xia Feng for many years, and she really couldn't pretend to be relaxed: "It's very badly injured, and it's likely to be useless." ”
"Assassination?"
Binglian nodded.
"Mastermind?"
"The dead man didn't leave any clues, but if you consider the interests of the people, you don't need clues at all to guess that it is a certain number of people. ”
"What should we do? investigate clearly and then retaliate back?" Jiao Ming asked. "I can't swallow this breath without doing something. ”
"I can't do anything for the time being. Binglian shook her head, tears sliding down her cheeks after a few breaths. Jiao Ming put down the bowl, held the ice lotus in his arms, gently patted the ice lotus's back, and comforted him in a loud voice: "It's okay...... It's okay. ”
