Fifth Night No. 5: Cao Cao's Call (4)
Sima Fuqiang carefully took the card, although he didn't have the opportunity to get close to the "Duel Dream Card" used by the tiger girl, but it was certain that the size of the two was exactly the same, just the same size as an ordinary bank card. Then it is conceivable that its function must be similar, and the "Duel Dream Card" is a surname card that can send the person in the dream into the Duel Dream. Then this card, as the name suggests, is to orient the dreamer into the Three Kingdoms era before 217.
This "Three Kingdoms Dream Card" has different patterns printed on both sides, one side is an ancient map, and Sima Fuqiang can tell at a glance that it is the Three Kingdoms in 217.
This year, the territory of Eastern Wu has not changed, sitting on Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, and Jingzhou is still in Liu Bei's pocket. Of course, the Yangzhou in Sun Quan's hands is not the Yangzhou City it is called today, but includes five counties and one country, including Jiujiang County, Danyang County, Lujiang County, Huiji County, Yuzhang County and Lu'an County on the southeast coast. Therefore, the area of Yangzhou is not small, and Jingzhou and Yizhou are one of the three largest states at that time, but because it is far away from the Central Plains, its reputation is not loud enough. As for Jiaozhou, which is now Liangguang, it was also called Lingnan at that time, and it was a wild land.
In addition to the "borrowed" Jingzhou, Shu Han also obtained the rich Yizhou from Liu Zhang, and the area of this Yizhou alone is as large as the sum of the four states of Qing, Xu, You, and Yu that Cao Ying won from Yuan Shao when he made his fortune. Although Liu Bei only has Jing and Yi in his hands, the actual area is unparalleled for a while, and they are both rich lands, which are by no means comparable to Cao Wei.
Cao Wei owned as many as ten prefectures at this time, namely Qing, Xu, You, And, Hebei, Yan, Henan, Si, Yong, Liang, as well as Jiujiang and Lujiang counties in the north of Yangzhou, and Hanzhong County in the north of Yizhou. But in fact, in addition to the number of seems, both the area and the quality are far inferior to the two states in Liu Bei's hands. If it weren't for Cao Ying's unparalleled political talent to implement the Tuntian system, after years of painstaking management, he could be regarded as accumulating a lot of manpower and material resources, otherwise he would definitely not be as good as Shu Han who was in his heyday.
This "Three Kingdoms Dream Card" is printed in such detail that you can even see the names of the counties and their capitals with a magnifying glass. Sima Fuqiang turned the film over again, and on the other side was a blue-black night sky, and a whirlpool in the center was pulling a traditional Chinese word "dream" into it. After looking at it for a while, there is a feeling that even people are going to be pulled into the whirlpool.
Sima Fuqiang took the card and studied it over and over again in his hand for a long time, but he couldn't see its material composition. He turned his head to look at Huang Zhi, "Don't you mind if I take a knife and try it?" ”
Huang Zhi thought about it for a while and expressed his support for it. It's uncertain how much benefit a "Three Kingdoms Dream Card" can create, but if he can discover more secrets of the dream world through this card, he doesn't mind destroying it.
Sima Fuqiang took out a ceramic knife from his luggage again, and prepared to use it to try to cut the "Three Kingdoms Dream Card". The hardness of ceramics is as high as 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamonds, which is not a grade compared to ordinary steel knives. The most important thing is that this thing can pass through airport security, so he can't find out if he takes it on a plane.
Seeing that the captain was the product of this kind of high technology as soon as he made a move, Huang Zhi couldn't help but be a little worried about the fate of that card.
Sima Fuqiang put the card on the desk in the corner of the hotel room, turned his head and glanced at Huang Zhi again, and after making sure that he had no regrets, he took the ceramic knife and crossed the card.
"Squeak~~" accompanied by a piercing sound that made the hairs stand on end, and everyone covered their ears.
Sima Fuqiang shook his head and handed the card to Huang Zhi along with the ceramic knife.
Huang Zhi took it and looked at it, the card was still the same, and he couldn't even see a trace of scratches. However, the blade of the ceramic knife has been sharpened a lot, it seems that the material of this card is not simple, is it a diamond?
But if you want to make such a card out of diamonds, how many carats of rough should you use? I'm afraid there is no one on Earth. The once largest Cullinan diamond, which weighed 3,106 carats, is probably still a little worse, not to mention that Cullinan was cut more than 100 years ago.
A card with a hardness comparable to a diamond came from the dream world to the real world, bringing a lot of imagination to the people of the East China Sea team, and once again proving that the so-called dream world is not a simple dream, but a real existence. Either the so-called "real world" is not reality, it is simply an integral part of the dream world, and everyone is still in the dream at this time without knowing it.
"Leave this thing to an expert to identify?" Huang Zhi was also a little hesitant about his proposal.
"Absolutely not!" Sima Fuqiang categorically vetoed, "Have you forgotten that Ren Wei was pulled into a dream?" ”
Huang Zhi was silent when he heard this. He understood what Sima Fuqiang meant, I was afraid that even if this card was taken to the research institute, it might not be able to find out anything, and it was likely to cause unpredictable accidents, at least the people involved in the research card would be pulled into the dream world, and at the worst, everyone would be erased together. In short, this road does not work, it harms others and harms oneself.
Huang Ying, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly took off a necklace from her neck and handed it to Sima Fuqiang, "Try my necklace." ”
"Diamond?" The captain of the East China Sea held the necklace to the morning sun outside the window, and the brilliant seven-colored fire was dazzling. "Too extravagant, isn't it? I mean it could hurt your diamond. ”
"It's okay, it's just something outside of you." Huang Ying shrugged indifferently, "In comparison, the secret of the dream world is related to our fate, isn't it as good as a diamond?" ”
Ever since he noticed her intentions in the Battle of Blackstone, Sima Fuqiang was a little afraid to look at Huang Ying's eyes, he silently grabbed the diamond on the necklace and lightly scratched it on the card.
The card was still the same, not even the coloring on it had been hung up a bit, but the diamond had a slight worn, which was the result of Sima Fuqiang's best care. In other words, the material of this card is higher than the hardness of diamonds!
Captain Tokai immediately opened his laptop and went online to find information about ultra-high hardness materials. After opening several web pages in a row, there was only one message: there is indeed a "diamond nanorod polymer" called ADNR, which is slightly harder than diamond. This barely explains the wear and tear of Huang Ying's diamonds, but it does not explain the undamaged pattern on the card, which is not achieved by any of the known printing inks.
"If I had to give an explanation, this thing is beyond the realm of human technology. Let's think of it as an extraterrestrial artifact, or a legendary creation of the gods. In short, it's beyond the scope of what we can explore now, give up......" Sima Fuqiang reluctantly said his judgment.
If even the captain with great powers gives up, the other team members naturally have no reason to pursue it.
Sima Fuqiang handed the card back to Huang Zhi for safekeeping, while Huang Ying's necklace was held in his hand and looked at it for a long time, "Or, I'll buy you a new one, right?" ”
Huang Ying hurriedly shook her head and refused, for women, the necklace given by a man has a special meaning, and she didn't dare to have any extravagant expectations for Sima Fuqiang, so she didn't want to hang a necklace from him on her body.
======================== the dividing line between dream and reality =======================
When he was at work, Zhang Wei made it clear to Huang Zhi the before and after of the Battle of Blackstone, even including his entanglement with the tiger girl. He has nothing to reserve about this brother.
Huang Zhi was also speechless about this, with his understanding of this brother for more than 20 years, he understood that Zhang Wei was indeed a little tempted by the tiger girl. He and Li Sha are already miserable enough, and who thinks about their brother is even more speechless.
That's it, Zhang Wei is right, it's okay to put an end to it. He and Hu Niu can be said to be on opposite sides of the world, not only in the real world, but also in the dream world, it is rare to see each other, rather than making each other suffer in vain, it is better to directly cut off Hu Niu's thoughts as Zhang Wei did.
At the end of work, the two were just about to take a ride to the hotel, who wanted a twelve-seater van to stop in front of them.
The car door opened, revealing Lisha's bright smile inside. "Get in the car, let's move!"
Only then did they remember that the warehouse room rented by the captain today had been renovated, and they immediately put aside their worries for the time being and got into the car happily.
The station of the East China Sea team in the real world was set up by Sima Fuqiang in a warehouse concentration area in the northern suburbs of Lucheng, which is the location of the distribution warehouses of major well-known stores in China.
There is an advantage to choosing the station here, there are no homes around, and it is not easy to expose the strange behavior of the East China Sea Team at night. And in order to avoid being stolen, all major stores and warehouses have good security measures, which is undoubtedly a kind of protection for the East China Sea team.
From the outside, this station looks like the surrounding warehouses, but once you open the door and enter, there is a world of other things. The entrance is a mailroom so that others can stand outside and snoop without noticing anomalies.
Entering through the mailroom door, there is a spacious hall, the two-meter-high walls are simply painted with metallic paint, and the floor is not deliberately decorated, retaining a sense of the vicissitudes of an abandoned factory, and the top of the head is a ten-meter-high iron roof.
It is estimated that Sima Fuqiang's old problem has occurred, and a sand table of nearby terrain buildings has been built on a large conference table in the corner of the hall, and he does not know who his imaginary enemy is. A 50-inch large-screen LED TV hangs on one of the walls of the hall, opposite to which four couches are arranged in a concave shape, taking into account the number of personnel of the East China Sea Team.
To the right-hand side of the hall is the dining room and kitchen, both designed for eight people and furnished like a factory canteen.
On the left hand side of the hall is a multi-functional living room, which functions as a study, an Internet café, and a gym, with a cluttered post-modern feel. For this living room, except for the afternoon sun, everyone else is very satisfied. Especially the waning moon, without saying a word, he went straight to the multi-functional fitness machine in the corner and began to exercise.
The warehouse is T-shaped, with a living room and a "dormitory" behind it, with a carpeted floor and eight comfortable adjustable chaise longues scattered among the beds of the dreamers every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On both sides of the "dormitory" are four single rooms with bathrooms on the left and right, which happen to be used for the rest of the room.
The overall renovation is very simple and practical, and it's no wonder that it was completed in just a few days.
After getting acquainted with the environment, the Tokai team members, who are mostly young people, immediately fell in love with the station. With everyone's help, Huang Ying and Li Sha took down all kinds of daily necessities and tableware and ingredients they bought on the street today from the car, and then showed their cooking skills for everyone, which was not inferior to the hotel chef at all.
Seeing Huang Zhi looking at herself curiously, Li Sha said embarrassedly, "It's Sister Huang Ying's craftsmanship, I'm just responsible for helping her." ”
After dinner, everyone chose their own bedrooms, packed up their belongings, and settled down, the time was not early, and it was time to enter the dream world again.
