Chapter 14: The Origin of the Red Bricks You Don't Know

The moment the refining array was activated, a torrent of spiritual power containing a wisp of Zhang Shen's consciousness rolled out and entered a certain mysterious world.

It was as if the shrouded smoke had been lifted, and it was as if using a microscope to see the world, and the world had suddenly changed its appearance.

The plants and water in sight have lost the restraint of their forms, and have been replaced by endless small pale green lattices and small light blue bubbles.

If we explain it from a scientific point of view, it is about plant cells and water molecules. However, the basis of "science" in the real world is very different from that of the current world, and naturally cannot be applied to it.

The basic structure of "starch" and "sugar" is well understood, and there are still certain similarities between the two worlds in this aspect, otherwise even with the help of the Philosopher's Stone, it is impossible to successfully refine the breadfruit.

After referring to the basic structure of the world's common grains, vegetables and fruits, Zhang Shen is full of confidence in what he will do next.

Under the control of Zhang Shen's spirit, through the series of reaction techniques, the infinite green lattices and light blue bubbles in his vision began to slowly move and collide, connecting them in a completely different way from before.

After forming the basic framework, Zhang Shen used the "tool" of reaction surgery to squeeze a large number of small green lattices and light blue bubbles, shape them for the second time, and even "fine-tune" them for detailed processing and adjustment.

The training ground of the Restoration Army, which was tightly guarded and not allowed even a fly to enter.

While Zhang Shen was refining the new grain, Darius and the others all widened their eyes and stared at the center of the refining array.

The entire refining array was covered by a layer of white light, and including the plants that were piled up into a hill, it seemed to be covered with a veil, and only the general outline could be seen, and all kinds of details were still not clear even if everyone stared out their eyes.

As time passed, Daris and the others could vaguely see that the originally tall mountain of plants in the misty white light was getting shorter and shorter, as if the snowdrifts were being placed under the scorching sun to quickly melt and dissolve.

Seeing less but not more, Daris's already anxious heart couldn't help but have a trace of worry, worried about Zhang Shen's possible failure. issued a wartime edict to press all the qiē on Zhang Shen and other guards, and the pressure on Daris was so great that it was unimaginable to outsiders!

When he heard Zhang Shen's confident words, the happiest person was not Chancellor of the Exchequer Monte, but he Daris! Because of this, once Zhang Shen fails, or fails to provide the food and armament supply of the entire country as he said, the enormous pressure generated by this will be transferred to Daris, and Monte and the others dare not trouble Zhang Shen.

Even if it was a special period, Monte and the others couldn't do anything to themselves, and it was impossible to do anything with them, but the torment from their own hearts was enough to crush Daris.

What Daris saw, Monte and other ministers naturally saw it, and they couldn't help but muttered in their hearts. Although it is a great pleasure to watch Zhang Shen make a joke, they still hope that the latter will succeed, after all, the survival of the country is at stake.

While Daris and the others were anxiously waiting, Zhang Shen encountered a problem here.

If there is no accident, after a few minutes, the plants and water in the refining array will disappear, and they will be replaced by a food crop similar to sweet potatoes in this world, but with nearly twice the starch content.

But—

A thought suddenly popped up in Zhang Shen's mind, a strange thought!

"It doesn't seem very kind to do this...... But, tsk, that seems interesting......"

His eyes purred and rolled a few times, Zhang Shen laughed a few times, and decisively began to implement according to his own ideas-

Most of the "structure" that had been built collapsed under Zhang Shen's thoughts, and the core structure of the immeasurable light green lattice and the light blue bubble remained unchanged, but they began to connect with each other in a new way.

In the sight of Daris and the others, the white light that had begun to thin suddenly became rich again, and even released a strange light that people couldn't look at directly, making them turn their heads in a hurry, not daring to look at it again.

The light came and went so suddenly and quickly, as if it were just a trance, and the light around it returned to normal again.

Daris turned his head for the first time, and suddenly, he was stunned, and his jaw was about to fall to the ground!

"What the fuck is this?!!" One of the ministers shouted out to Daris, as well as the others.

What appeared in everyone's sight was a huge piece of -

Stone ??!!

It is nearly 30 meters long, seven or eight meters wide, and two meters thick...... The color is milky white mixed with a little yellow...... It is square, angular and angular, the surface is smooth and smooth, and the structure is dense......

This, this, this is just a giant stone!!!

Zhang Shen stood in front of the "strip stone" with a proud face, and when he heard this, his whole face suddenly turned black, and the corners of his mouth twitched in anger, and he almost beat people.

"Oh yes, my old man spent so much effort refining a masterpiece, and it was actually ruined like this......"

"Forget it, a group of guys who don't have the slightest artistic germs, it's not worth ...... to be angry with them"

Zhang Shen comforted himself, the corners of his eyes jumped, and he resisted the urge to rush up and beat people.

"Your Excellency Zhang Shen...... Excuse me...... What is this white stone for...... "Monte stepped forward with difficulty, and there was a certain "expectation" in his eyes, but this gaze made Zhang Shen choke with anger.

With a few expressionless smirks, Zhang Shen was too lazy to waste time with these guys, took out an iron pot from the pile of pots and pans, put in half a pot of water, and activated a fire talisman dedicated to cooking rice and barbecue in the fairy world and placed it at the bottom of the pot.

Although the fire talisman lost eighty or ninety percent of its power, it still ensured a strong firepower, and the water in the pot immediately boiled, gurgling and churning, and a large number of bubbles bubbled.

In the strange eyes of everyone, Zhang Shen took out a sharp dagger from the shrinking hand towel and gently swiped the corner of the white object in front of him, which was suspected to be a "strip stone", cut off a piece the size of a child's fist, and then threw it into the splashing pot in an inexplicable gaze.

"Could it be ......" "Could it be ......" The eyes of Daris and the others suddenly lit up, as if two rays of light shot out from inside, making people dare not look directly. They don't think that Zhang Ying is so boring that he makes a boring joke about "boiling stones" with himself, so there is only one result-

Under the gaze of dozens of blazing eyes, the white "stone" thrown into the pot gradually softened and foamed, exuding a strange and familiar fragrance.

"It's ...... The aroma of sweet potatoes??!! The general sniffled, a look of nostalgia on his face. White potatoes are the name of the food crops in this world that look similar to the sweet potatoes in the real world (in the eleventh hometown, white potatoes and sweet potatoes are completely different things, although white potatoes can also be eaten, but more often as a "vegetable", and can not be eaten raw, it is said to have medicinal value), this kind of expensive and cheap food, since it was discovered and widely cultivated, has been loved by the world's humans, is one of the staple foods of the world's humans.

Could it be that this strange thing in the shape of a stone in front of you can really be eaten?!

The general involuntarily took two steps forward, ignoring the fact that the white object in the pot that had "absorbed" all the water and filled most of the pot was emitting a hot steam, stretched out his hand to break off a piece from it, put it to his mouth and blew two breaths, then stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed while sighing.

After chewing a few bites, the general's eyes suddenly widened, and a touch of red appeared in his eye sockets, and a little tear actually appeared in the tiger's eyes that were not angry and self-threatening!

"Fasroch, this ...... How is it?! Darys's eyes burned as he stared at General Fasroke, unaware that his body was trembling, his hands clenching into fists and releasing and clenching and releasing and clenching and releasing again.

Fasrock took a deep breath, and as soon as he grabbed Daris's hand regardless of the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, his voice became hoarse: "Your Majesty, our country is saved!" It's saved!! ”

As soon as Fasrok finished speaking, Darith seemed to be drained of all his bones, his body was weak, and he almost fell backwards, but fortunately he was caught by Fasrok and saved himself from the tragedy of being on all fours.

"Good, good, good, good......" Daris's muttered as if a deep sense of relief had sprung up from the depths of his empty eyes. At this moment, the big stone that he pressed on his heart finally pried open a corner, allowing his heart to breathe for a moment, a temporary peace.

On the side, the other ministers didn't care about Daris's reaction, and ran to the pot one after another, not caring about the hot wow wow scream, they all broke off a piece of food suspected of being a white potato from the pot, and stuffed it into their mouths while blowing.

Soft!!

Sweet!!

After taking a bite, the crisp and slightly sweet taste different from the white potato suddenly filled everyone's taste buds and conquered them!

In such an environment, even if they are as noble as them, they haven't had a good meal in a while......

Regardless of the burning pain of his tongue, half a pot of mysterious food was divided and eaten by everyone, and it was quickly eliminated. At this time, everyone who was still unsatisfied realized their gaffe just now, and they all showed sneering expressions.

Zhang Shen looked funny on the side, but he was also full of pride and pride.

This strange thing in the shape of a stone is the product of Zhang's spiritual (brain) thinking (hole) spring (big) gushing (opening) for a while...... When he reached seventy percent of the progress of refining grain, he suddenly realized that his purpose was only to provide enough food to feed the hungry people, so what did it matter to the specific type and form of food?

In short, as long as you can eat it and have enough of it!

So, under the guidance of such an idea, such a "block" of strange things appeared......

Because its foundation and ingredients are sweet potatoes, and it is in the shape of a "stone", Zhang Shen had a flash of inspiration and named it -

【Red Brick】
