Chapter 111: The Night Has Passed

Ma Li wiped the corners of her mouth with her thumb, and then licked her fingers: "It's really good, I'm full, thank you." Next, there is an hour and twenty-three minutes left before I have to go to bed, do you have any plans?"

"I don't have any plans. Qian Jing shook his head: "It's the first time I've come to Ohara, and I heard about this bar from Aunt Shi from the Burning Stone Restaurant. What else is interesting in town?"

Ma Li held her cheeks, stared at the money mirror for a few seconds, and then sighed: "Okay, since you don't know anything, then you can send me home." On the way, I can introduce you to the city. ”

Qian Jing nodded and followed Ma Li out of the restaurant. It's snowing outside, and the steam generated by the city turns into snowflakes and falls back before it can get out of the pit, so it's always snowing here. The snow here is not simply made of water, but also has chemicals that are produced in some combustion chambers, so it has some chemical color.

Pink, yellow, and sky blue snowflakes make the city look very dreamy, but everyone still wears masks to protect themselves. The mask of the thermal suit can be divided into upper and lower parts along the bridge of the nose and the lower eye socket, and you can eat with filtered sunglasses or see the world with a pair of mundane eyes while wearing a breathing filter.

Mary's burnt yellow hair was dry and split ends, and it was unkempt and short. People here need to wear fully covered hats to protect themselves from the cold, and those with long hair who get stuck in the crevices can cause sealing problems, so those with long hair have been naturally eliminated. Ma Li suddenly turned her head, squinted her eyes and said, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm wondering how different people are from parallel to Earth. Don't you think it's an interesting question? A hundred years ago the two worlds were exactly the same, but now there is such a big difference. Are you wondering if there will be another you on the origin earth, what will it be like?"

"Whether there will be another me, I don't know. But I know there must be no other you. Ma Li shook her head: "Qian Jing, you are too weak! you will definitely die here, no accident!"

"Why do you say that about me?" Qian Jing was not happy.

"Because you're idle. Ma Li said, "You have a lot of time and you don't do things at all. I know you're from Origin Earth, and you're wearing heating suits from the relevant authorities, which is so easy to recognize. You've come here this morning, and then you're in the afternoon, and you're fine? Shouldn't you be starving to death in the snow and ice for wasting your time like this?"

Ma Li showed no mercy and continued: "Also, why do you want to go to the Happy Restaurant? Compared to the Origin Earth, the food and drink here are not good. You've got a cart full of food brought from Earth, and the Burning Stone Restaurant has the same food as the restaurant. Did you go to the restaurant because you had a lot of previous goods and wanted to hook up with the girls here?"

"This is definitely not!" Qian Jing waved his hand.

"You can see you're not! You don't. Ma Li rolled her eyes and said, "I guess, do you want to go to a place with a lot of people to inquire about the news?"

Qian Jing stopped, then nodded.

Ma Li giggled: "Say you have a problem with logic! If you want to know historical information, go to the museum, where there are countless historical materials, as well as records of the development of the whole city." If you want to know the news, go to the square and look at the billboard, there is all kinds of news. Of course, some of the most secretive gossip does need to be asked by a dedicated person. But do you think I'm going to have any gossip about the inspector at the gate?"

She raised her hand and patted Qian Jing's shoulder gently: "Therefore, you are either wasting time with nothing to do, or you are not capable of completing the task, or you are not intelligent enough to solve the problem." Either of them determines that you are not fit to survive on Dark Earth. ”

Qian Jing was indeed a little angry when he was accused like this, but he still frowned and thought carefully about Ma Li's words, and then had to nod and admit: "What you said makes sense, I am indeed not suitable here." However, if you want to ask people to use 'as soon as you enter the dark earth, you have to adapt here', it will be difficult to force people. Didn't you learn all the skills from the first day of life, didn't you still learn everything? From now on, I won't waste any more time. In an hour and fifteen minutes, I'm going to listen to you introduce the city — I'll start with that. ”

"Yes!" said Mary. However, half of the mask covered her mouth, and the money mirror could only see the crooked eyes and eyebrows. As she walked, she introduced the architecture of the city, what each part does, how the heat pipes transmit energy everywhere, what people have prepared for the cold, and what things they have invented.

The deeds of resisting the cold are the history of the Dark Night Earth, and it is also the clue that connects all the technologies. Qian Jing listened very attentively, put herself in her shoes, and asked a few good questions, even Ma Li, who was "more intellectually excellent", needed to think carefully before she could answer, and she began to change her initial impression of Qian Jing. At the same time, Qian Jing, who is focused, is also consciously guiding the problem, on the one hand, the heat energy suit, and on the other hand, the interaction between Rezhen Ohora and other parallel worlds.

"We are certainly not going to stop improving thermal suits, this is obvious, and it is written into the law. Food security, energy security and thermal energy services are the three cornerstones of Hot Town. I'm an apprentice in thermal suits, and I'm sure I'm going to invent better thermal suits in the future. Ma Li's eyebrows fluttered when she said the thermal energy suit, "We already have a saint in terms of food, but there are only heroes in the field of thermal energy clothing, and the title of saint is still vacant." I think I have a chance to fight for it – not now, of course, and I have to learn more. ”

"Then I wish you success. As long as it is a field for the benefit of mankind, it is a good thing to have more saints. Qian Jing turned around and said, "However, you can also consider introducing technology from the outside world." Most people on Origin Earth don't know that there are parallel worlds and multiverses, but you don't have that problem at all. ”

"Oh, that's true. In order to pursue "stability", the origin earth is more closed and backward, which I can understand. But does the multiverse have what we need? Does the origin earth have it? You don't even seem to have orange eggs. ”

"Why do you mention orange eggs again?, besides, what kind of good thing are eggs?" Qian Jing snorted: "I won't say anything else." You just mentioned that the energy output efficiency of thermal energy clothing is 40%, and there is 10% of the heat dissipation that can be absorbed by the material of the garment - then the overall energy efficiency is 50%. I know that in the multiverse, there are ...... percent Sixty. ”

Qian Jing almost said more than 99 percent, but fortunately he stopped it in time. He felt that the Fortress Star's complete body element steam engine had not yet been launched on the market, and it was best not to appear to know everything at this time. Sixty percent of the products should also come from "hearsay", which is more secure.

"Sixty percent? That's impossible. Even if you reach it, you can't be portable!" Ma Li first waved her hand, then bit her lower lip, and asked tentatively, "Is what you said true?"

"I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. But I trust the person who told me the news. Qian Jing gestured with his hand: "He said, that thing is so big, it may be made smaller in the future, quite light, and the thermal efficiency and total power are very strong, and asked me if I am interested in doing its business together." I don't have the capital right now. ”

"If only I could look at it. I also designed a device with a combined thermal efficiency of 57 percent, but I never had the opportunity to make a physical verification. An extra set of thermal suits is just too expensive!"

The two chatted more and more enthusiastically, but there was always a time when the way home was over, and Ma Li's residence arrived. "My house is up there," she said, her eyes widening suddenly, and she exclaimed, "Oh great, my stuff is here!"

Qian Jing followed her finger and looked at the hallway in front of the room at the end of the balcony on the second floor, a suitcase-sized box of organic materials was lying quietly, with lights flickering on it. "Qian Jing, come, my things have arrived, just in time to show you my design, follow me!"

Ma Lixing rushed upstairs, and Qian Jing followed. When I got closer, the box in the corridor was actually a freight robot, which scanned Ma Li's identity information, and then opened its stomach and handed Ma Li a set of vacuum-black plastic bags inside. After receiving the confirmation, it closed its belly and walked away on its own on wheels.

"I've finally arrived. Ma Li opened the door with the key, grabbed the black plastic bag in her hand and ran in. She didn't greet Qian Jing, but the door was open, apparently not intending (or forgot) to keep Qian Jing out. The boy at the door thought about it and felt that it was a waste of heat to always open the door, so he walked in and closed the door.

Mary lives in a small room by herself, with the bed folded down on the wall, and the rest of the space is her study. Due to environmental constraints, the toilets are vacuum-suctioned bags and do not require water, and there is no place to take a shower – the showers are in the city's dedicated public baths. Laying water and sewer pipes in the freezing and snowy fields of minus 100 degrees is a hellish task, so there is only bottled drinking water in the house, and that is the only way to wash your hands. As for the kitchen, it is not useful at all. The people of Ohara eat in the cafeteria, and they usually don't get angry at all.

Because many functions have been removed, even if the room is small, it is enough for one person. Ma Li made the most of every inch of space, crammed it into a design table, installed a whiteboard on the wall, and plastered the other wall with concept art. She had three identical tablets, one of which was not turned off, and some kind of engineering drawing was displayed on the screen.

"My thermal suit! the latest model!" Ma Li had already unpacked it, and inside was a brand new thermal suit. She danced excitedly, and regardless of Qian Jing's still being here, she put aside the drawing tools on the design table, spread out the thermal suit, and then raised the scissors.

"You're going to tear it down? It's brand new! Didn't you say it's expensive?"

Ma Li suddenly stopped, looked at Qian Jing deeply, and the two of them looked at each other. She seemed to be a little hesitant, her eyes were a little evasive, and her slightly furrowed brow was obviously on her mind. After half a minute of silence, Ma Li sighed and said, "Qian Jing, I also have extra income in addition to work, such as the food bar you gave me today, which can be exchanged for a lot of plum tickets." Twelve days ago, I made a lot of money and bought this thermal suit. Can you understand this?"

Qian Jing smiled and waved his hand: "Oh, I understand. The money you earn is your business, I won't tell anyone, you can rest assured. But why are you cutting it open?"

Ma Li lowered her head, looked at the thermal suit, and waited for a few seconds before answering: "I need the parts of the thermal suit to do experiments and verify whether my design can improve efficiency." Since...... Qian Jing, you can help me, how about we do this together?"

Why not? Qian Jing was also curious about the internal structure of the thermal energy suit. In the next step, the White Flag grocery store will buy a large number of thermal energy suits, remove the heating part, retain the energy supply part, and use it as a portable mechanical energy engine with the fortress card, which is indispensable for many modifications. Raisa didn't say anything about it, and Qian Jing estimated that she might pull the relevant departments to do it together. But as an employee of a White Flag grocery store, if you can know it by heart, even if you only know a little about it, it is better than knowing nothing.

"This is the control board, so be extra careful. Yes, Qian Jing, your hands are very steady, and your control ability is really good. You see my hands are shaking. Ma Li stuffed the whole thermal energy suit into Qian Jing's hand: "It's better for you to do it." I was a little excited, and at the same time worried that if I accidentally cut it, I would be in trouble. I'll guide, you can do it, just slow down. ”

"Aren't you worried I'm going to cut it?"

"If you cut it, you will pay for it. People from other worlds, with something that the Dark Sun Earth does not have, can easily exchange for wealth. I know you're not short of money for a set of thermal suits. ”

It's very unfair to lose money if you cut it, but if you can learn the knowledge of thermal suits, it's acceptable. Qian Jing's hand is still very steady, and by learning to draw and using the mind shaping ink to make a piercing well, Qian Jing's hand will hardly deviate. Even in an emergency, when he needs to deliberately create a Blackheart Trap spell full of chaotic power, he will still keep a tight control of the key points to ensure that the magic circle is completed and effective every time.

"Yes, it's the third wire, and you just need to break through the outer skin to reveal the conductor inside. Lighten it up, don't cut it......" Ma Li's eyes widened on the side, sweating nervously, and she had already taken off her thermal suit and threw it aside. "Good, good, you do this kind of work a lot, it's so skillful. ”

"It's not a coincidence, it's stability. By the way, don't just let me do the work, tell me what these parts are for. ”

Ma Li posted it over, and while guiding the disassembly of the money mirror, she explained the structure and function of the thermal energy suit, and by the way, she also said how she wanted to modify the thermal energy suit. She tried to increase the working pressure and improve the thermal energy efficiency by improving the control process and peripheral system functions of the thermal energy suit, but she could not break through the safety boundary. The principle of this is complicated, but the handmade does not involve disassembling the core parts, so it is not too difficult.

Qian Jing didn't leave overnight.

----------- Listing Notification--------------

It was supposed to be on the shelves today.,But because I didn't notify everyone in advance.,So this chapter is still the public version.,It's exactly Chapter 111.。 On the shelves tomorrow, everyone will support you and subscribe to the genuine version.

Testimonials on the shelves, it's not the first time I've written it, and friends who read genuine books at the starting point often see testimonials, so I won't repeat what you all know, I only write things you can't think of or haven't thought of.

A few of my books, starting with the Mage story, to the Twenty Dice, Swords & Sorcery and Taxi, and then this one of the White Flag Grocery Store, can actually be strung together. 14 years ago, my plan was to write Mage Stories 1, 2, and 3, connecting the three mages of neutral, good, and evil to create a multiverse. However, the mage story is finished, and then I don't have enough energy to go to work, so the mage story 2 is pitted, and by the way, I got a sci-fi star horizon and an online game article that practiced writing earlier. However, after coming back, the twenty-sided dice are essentially Mage Story 2, Sword and Sorcery and Taxi are Mage Story 3, some details are different from the previous assumptions, but the whole is still the original world setting.

The mage story begins with an adventure and is about the relationship between a mage and a spell, and the spirit affects the world. Twenty-sided dice began to deal with the formation and destruction of a single world, and initially introduced the concept of transworlds. Swords & Sorcery and Taxis are traversing the multiverse, where the rules of power, space, and environment create a variety of worlds, plus time travel, a loose multidimensional system controlled by the will of the world, the power of the Primordial, and the transcendent. Then it's time for the White Flag Overrun store, and the book is about ......

I have a temperance and I don't spoil it.
