Yu Moji's eyes instantly became a little complicated.

The last time she was hiding in the Little Star Picking Platform, she had heard Ling Ai and Lao Meng talking, and she clearly remembered that Lao Meng seemed to be not allowed to enter the Cardinal. However, the cold pool where they were at the moment, in terms of geographical location, should have been far away from the location of the Cardinal. Lao Meng appeared here, and I don't know if it is appropriate.

In contrast, Lao Meng was very calm, as if he had already known that Yu Moji was coming. He glanced at Yu Moji's expression, smiled, and said, "Miss Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have changed a lot." ”

As soon as these words came out, the relationship between Lao Meng and Yu Moji became a rare reunion.

Yu Mochen didn't expect Lao Meng's first sentence to be like this, but she seemed narrow-minded and suspicious. She was stunned for a moment before she said, "Actually, it's only been less than two years......"

The last time she had face-to-face contact with Lao Meng, it was at the house of the mourning Xu Fuzi.

Jin Niang's gaze wandered between the two of them for a while, and suddenly smiled, "I really didn't expect that the two of you are still old friends." Tell me, what did the ink mark look like in the past? She's been in the Council for a long time, and she's always been a very hard-working, lovely little girl, and I haven't noticed any difference. ”

Yu Moji's face flushed.

Jin Niang's relaxed tone gradually calmed down her suspicions.

"A lot of things change quietly. I didn't notice it for a while, but after a long time, it became obvious. Lao Meng glanced at Yu Moji a few times, "For example, when Miss Yu used to talk to people, she always didn't like to look at people, and her eyes were dodgy. It's much better now. ”

Yu Moji was stunned. She hadn't noticed it herself, but when she thought about it, it seemed to be true. When did she feel a little more confident?

Jin Niang smiled, "It seems that you know ink marks very well." She paused for a moment, and then said, "Speaking of which, when she persuaded Lu Chen to accept the ink marks, she once mentioned that she had asked a local capable person to teach her in Aige. Could it be you? ”

"Not really," replied Lao Meng frankly, "I've only met Miss Yu once. It was Xu Da who really took the heart to teach her. He recalled the past and couldn't help laughing, "With that kid, he was determined to cultivate Miss Yu at that time, and Xu Da couldn't help it." As you know, Xu Da is actually a person who has little patience, and it is not easy to do this. ”

Jin Niang smiled, "After all, it's a matter of request." You and Xu Da naturally won't refuse it. ”

Yu Mojin looked at the two people at a loss.

She only knew that Xu Fuzi and Yuan Pingzhi were good friends in the past. Now listening to the meaning of Jin Niang's words, the friendship between these people is probably not established after Yuan Yizhi went to mourn.

Lao Meng looked at Yu Moji's expression and said, "Ah Jin is afraid that he hasn't told you yet, right?" These days, you're practicing underwater, and the one who really wants to guide you is actually me. ”

"After all, this 'mirage' was built by you." Jin Niang also nodded as if testifying, "I can only play with ink marks, if you want to talk about real kung fu, you still have to teach it." ”

"'Mirage'?" Yu Moji asked, "Is that the name of this armor?" ”

She was really puzzled. How could Lao Meng create such a complex armor?

Yu Moji clearly remembered that when he was mourning, the works related to the study of Yanjia were all written by Master Xu, and only those who planted flowers and grass, made tea and raised cats were the things that Lao Meng, as a servant, was interested in. But now it seems that Lao Meng is actually quite a capable Yanshi.

But she didn't ask the question. After all, when she first paid attention to the study of Yanjia, she was just a miscellaneous female worker, and she knew the truth that people should not be disgraced.

Lao Meng didn't know about Yu Moji's messy thoughts, so he only nodded and said, "Actually, in my opinion, the 'Mirage' is more like a small ship than a Yanjia. "But unlike ordinary ships, ideally, the Mirage can not only operate on the surface of the water and complete the defenses and attacks that ordinary Yanjia can do, but also freely dive underwater to complete the exploration work in the water." A true dragon is not limited by water. ”

Yu Mochen listened with interest. At first, she thought that the position of this underwater armor was fixed. If people want to enter it, they must dive completely by water like her and Jin Niang; But he never imagined that such a bulky armor could actually float to the shore itself.

"Old gentleman," Yu Mochen didn't regard Lao Meng as a simple servant before, but now he felt that this person was very capable, and his tone couldn't help but change from the previous alienated politeness to reverence, "How can this function of floating and diving be done, I wonder if your old man can reveal a thing or two?" ”

"It's actually quite simple." Lao Meng didn't seem to have the intention of concealing it, "The shell of the mirage dragon is two layers, inside and outside, and there is an extremely wide gap in the middle. As long as the water is injected into the pool at a steady speed through the Yanji, the mirage can gradually dive; After reaching the bottom of the pool, the mirage is fixed to the bottom of the water with anchors to prevent fluctuations; If you want to get out of the water, loosen the anchor and drain the pool between the inner and outer shells, and the mirage will float. ”

Lao Meng's words were simple to understand, and Yu Moji listened to his narration, and a clear picture had been drawn in his mind. But she also knows that there are many problems that need to be solved to realize this idea. Under the weight of the water, the material used for the shell of the armor must be different from that on the shore; In order to make the Yanji work stably when filling and draining water, it takes a lot of work to gradually test and improve it before it can be successful.

Jin Niang added, "Actually, today's mirage can already complete the afloat. It's just that the ascent and dive need to consume a lot of Chitose gold, and more manpower is needed to ensure the stability and smoothness of the whole process. We've only been doing some underwater nail manipulation training lately, and we don't need this feature yet. If you want to see the mirage come alive, you'll have to wait a little longer. ”

Yu Moji nodded. Chitose gold is expensive after all, and in comparison, it is naturally much cheaper for her and Jin Niang to sneak down. She is accustomed to saving money, even if it is not her own, she is willing to save a little more.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Besides, where does the air inside the mirage come from?" She rubbed her head embarrassedly, "We've been chatting in the cabin for so long, but the air always seems fresh. I really can't think of how your old man did it. ”

"That's right, you're a very attentive child." Lao Meng gave her an approving look, "The air in here naturally comes from the land." Have you ever noticed that the location of the mirage is actually not far from the shore? I set up a lot of pipes where it meets the rocks, and with the help of the power of the Yanji, the air from the shore is continuously pumped into the mirage, so the armor operators who stay inside will not have a problem breathing. He further explained, "In the future, when the mirage actually enters the sea, this kind of pipe will be embedded in the armor body, and it will be very convenient to swallow freely." ”

This kind of imaginative approach, if Yu Mozhen is allowed to think alone with her current knowledge, she probably can't think of it. And Lao Meng, who has done all this, is a person who, according to Ling Ai, cannot enter the interior of the cardinal.

Yu Moji hesitated for a moment, thinking that she had already asked Lao Meng a lot of questions, maybe not more; So she said frankly, "Old man, I was actually there the last time you sent Jin Niang back to the Cardinal. I've heard Ling Ai say a little bit about you......"

She suddenly stopped. Because of Lao Meng's smile, he retracted little by little.

Seeing this, Jin Niang hurriedly spoke, "That time it was actually me who accidentally lost my balance when I was hanging on the exterior of the mirage, and I hit my head on the outer wall. When she said this, she looked at Yu Mozhen comfortingly and smiled, "But it's also a good lesson." After this incident, the snake rope used to contact the armor and the armor operator has also been improved a lot, and it is safe that there will not be the same accident in the future. ”

Since Jin Niang explained, Lao Meng's expression softened a little. He nodded, and said, "Actually, I am to blame for this." There are indeed many things that have not been fully thought out before. It's hard for Ah Jin that you have personally tested it over and over again, and you have suffered a lot. ”

They redirected the conversation to the Armor. During this period of time, Yu Moji's ability to observe words and colors has improved a lot. Seeing this, she no longer asked Lao Meng about his private affairs, but continued to discuss technical issues with Lao Meng in a good manner, "But I don't know what Jin Niang said about Teng Snake Suo?" ”

Speaking of Yanjia, Lao Meng quickly returned to his previous calm state, and Yoyo explained, "This is actually for the safety of the armor operator. The final role of the mirage is to send the Yanshi to the deep sea to explore the thousand-year-old gold, which inevitably requires the Yanshi to be placed outside the mirage. Even though it is very dangerous in the deep sea, as long as the armor operator is still hanging on the steel cable, he can return to the mirage as soon as possible in a critical situation. As he spoke, he showed a little ashamed, "Before, I only wanted to bring people back as soon as possible, so the speed and direction of retracting the steel cable were not suitable, which led to Ah Jin's previous accident." Not in the future. ”

Jin Niang smiled considerately and said, "After all, this is the first time we have moved the Yanjia to the bottom of the water, and it is inevitable that something will go wrong." If not, there is no need to send me, a veteran of good water, to test it. She said to Yu Moji, "The exercise we are going to complete today will use the snake rope." I'll give you a demonstration first. ”
