The hot pot feast ended vigorously.

Why do you want to use the word "vigorous"? It's just that at the end of the day, Clayton wants to buy these ten hot pots at a high price. No one wanted that oversized beast, it was too big for anyone to eat. Imagine, with a diameter of one meter, how long a fork or chopsticks do you have to use to pick up the dish after it sinks?

Clayton wanted these things, but of course Bonga didn't want to. The two quarreled, and they both planned to do hot pot business in winter. Xu Zheng also didn't want others to take the lead and take the lead in Zion. But he has a good impression of Clayton, a Tusijia businessman, and at the same time has the idea of promoting hot pot as a way to eat. Zion is the base camp of hot pot, it is the main store, Tuxijia wants to do hot pot business, then it is okay, as long as you sign to join its branches, pay the franchise fee according to the contract.

Clayton was a shrewd businessman and immediately sniffed the opportunity. As shrewd as he was, his brain turned fast, and while accepting the concept of chain management for the first time, he asked Xu Zheng for the franchise right to operate the third-level branch of Tuxiga. So, the two sides signed a contract smoothly, and they hit it off, Cheng'an and Tuxijia were both happy, and Dane received a generous amount of money, and he was so happy that he was amazed, Xu Zheng was like a golden rooster that could lay golden eggs.

A golden rooster that can lay eggs, and it is also a male! Xu Zheng heard the black lines on his forehead, and he was really unhappy with this description.

A few days later, Clayton left Zion, laden with Zion's newly produced paper, ten hot pots, and other miscellaneous new knick-knacks. When leaving, Leileyden was very happy, and it was estimated that these new things would bring back to Tusiga and make a lot of money.

Hawahar stayed. said that he wanted to listen to and see more in the imperial capital, because the imperial capital has changed a lot. It's so different from when he came four years ago. He was going to find inspiration in the imperial capital, make up new poems, and sing them all over the continent.

I don't know why, Xu Zheng is a little afraid of this bard who seems to have a vision of the past and the future. Strictly speaking, it's not that I'm afraid of this person. Hawaha's personality and style of doing things are very likable, and it's really hard to hate such a gentle and noble person. Coming into contact with this bard has a feeling of spring breeze. But when he sang, the specious prophetic ability revealed made Xu Zheng a little hairy, and he didn't dare to have more contact with him, for fear that he would dig out his secrets.

Havana himself did not notice this. When I have time, I like to visit Xu Zheng's place, and every time I make Xu Zheng sit on pins and needles, trying to take him away.

Fortunately, it was a few days later. Forrester didn't know where to get a mysterious thing to put in the laboratory for study, and Xu Zheng took the opportunity to hide in the laboratory and avoid Havana.

At first, Xu Zheng was not involved in Forrester's research, which he codenamed 'Stone Ring'. Avoid the lab. Most of the purpose is to escape Havana. The rest of the reason is that Xu Zheng has always been happy with each other's research on teleportation magic arrays and magic fireworks.

With the joint efforts of Xu Zheng and Forrest, the research of the magic array is nearing completion. Xu Zheng studied this Otherworldly Teleportation Magic Array for a long time and was greatly surprised by it. The teleportation skills here are far more advanced than those of the Interstellar Alliance. For the application of the theory of spatial warping, the Aris continent is significantly higher. No one even could explain this, but it was used quite naturally through the magic array.

Everyone knows that from one point to another. The fastest distance is a straight connection between the two. For warpage theory, if these two points on a plane coincide due to the bending of the whole plane, these two points become two points in space, and the closest distance between them can be zero. And the thing that connects these two points is the so-called wormhole, a very special existence in the universe.

The function of the teleportation magic array is to use the power of magic to create a wormhole in space out of thin air, so that the position of the starting magic array and the destination magic array is connected through the wormhole, which is infinitely close to zero.

Coming to this conclusion, Xu Zheng was quite surprised. Not to mention the power of magic, the mere creation of a wormhole is terrifying. You must know that the technology is as advanced as the interstellar alliance in the previous life, and if the starship wants to make a space jump, it can only be achieved by releasing the technology ship to find the jump point that already exists, that is, the entrance to the wormhole. Then make a note of the coordinates for the next jump. It can be said that in the era of astronautics, the most important thing is the star map that marks the jump point. In search of the jump points that exist in these universes, I don't know how many adventurers have paid with their lives for them. And the continent of Arris, a place that is obviously technologically backward, can actually create wormholes through magical power, which is very scary.

Xu Zheng, who has the momentum of scientific and technological research, instinctively traced back, but only turned to a certain day in a certain year and month, and a certain comrade who was respected as the god of law researched the magic array and disappeared. Xu Zheng stared at this historical record like a legend of gods and ghosts for a while, but the clue was broken, and he could not continue, and he hated the backwardness of the method of inheriting civilization and history in the Aris Continent in his heart, and he was helpless in his heart.

As for the magic fireworks, Xu Zheng has successfully completed the research. is guarding this secret badly.,A person hides in the laboratory and quietly makes it.。 At this time, I miss the engineering robots of my previous life infinitely, if there are them, I don't know how many times the speed of manufacturing can be increased, saving myself from being like a thief, working hard to make all day long, and it took several days to build less than five hundred. Even so, Xu Zheng still worked hard, and wanted to surprise everyone when the New Year came. As he could, he even planned to develop it into a commodity, which would be sold exclusively during festivals, creating another business opportunity for the imperial capital.

And the stone ring, because Xu Zheng occupied Forrester's alchemy laboratory, the old alchemy master had to put it in Garcia's laboratory, and Xu Zheng only saw it when he sneaked over and wanted to steal some magic materials from the old master again.

Speaking of which, I can't fail to mention Mr. Garcia's opinion of Xu Zheng. The hot old tutor, what he wants to do most now is to skin Xu Zheng! He has never seen such a talented, but so arrogant, that people hate him so much that they want to pump his students.

This student, with a terrible magical talent, is not only a magic genius of the whole department, but no matter which department, he understands it as soon as he hears it, and he can learn it as soon as he learns it, but after he learns it, he has no longer grown, and he will always stay at the initial entry stage and will not move. It belongs to a fairly typical kind of bad people who are plagued in everything. He didn't know that Xu Zheng had no interest in the violent magic that the old mentor loved so passionately. Learn all the elemental magic in a month's time, for no other reason than to add more brilliant colors and effects to the magic fireworks.

Fortunately, Garcia didn't know, if he knew that his apprentice had run all the magic teachers in Ogmar Academy, and the reason why he had learned the elemental magic of various departments was just to make the magic fireworks better, the old man would probably rush to his brain and die of a violent brain. I have seen a waste of natural ability, but I have never seen Xu Zheng waste such an extremely shameful and hateful thing!

...... Embarrassment.

Forrester knew about this, and while laughing and falling, he was helpless to take Xu Zheng. This apprentice of his own seems to be not very comfortable, and he always likes to do strange things. However, the old alchemist's method of favoring Xu Zheng is different from the old magician's method of loving his apprentice by violent means, and he has always let Xu Zheng go and let him develop freely.

Therefore, when Xu Zheng saw the stone ring and was obviously interested in it, Forrester just smiled and dragged Xu Zheng over to study it together.

The stone ring is a hollow, ring-like structure. Seen from a single incision, a stone pillar with an octahedral section bends over to form a rounded ring. The end of the whole stone ring is seamless, and it is impossible to find where the beginning and where the end is, giving people the feeling that it has been carved from a large stone.

The main body of the stone ring is as thick as a person hugging each other, and the diameter of the circle is 15 meters. Xu Zheng did not have the slightest prejudice of suspicion, with the scientific and technological level and quarrying technology of the Aris Continent, could he make such a thing?

Not only that, but the entire surface of the stone ring is also covered with mysterious patterns. The entire circle is divided into twenty-eight equal parts, and there are inscribed glyphs, or what should be called a figure, on top of it. Because they are carved so large, they are very conspicuous. Then Xu Zheng noticed that the appearance of other strange glyphs on the surface of the stone ring was also regular, and it was also engraved on the surface of the stone ring in a negative way. In these strange glyphs, Xu Zheng recognized only one thing, and that was the symbol of pi.

At first, Xu Zheng didn't dare to conclude, but later through calculations, it was proved that it was indeed it. What is even more surprising is that the physical size of the stone ring can be accurately expressed to the 117th decimal place by calculation! You know, the string after the decimal point of pi is an infinite non-cyclic thing. Is the rather astonishing result a coincidence or an inevitability? Xu Zheng was puzzled.

When asked Forest, the old mentor only said that it was accidentally found in the desert on the other side of the Western Continent, and that it was brought back to the city by the merchant as an ancient relic. The alchemist who took over didn't understand the research, and he happened to be a friend of Forrester, so he was sent to the imperial capital.

Ancient ruins? Xu Zheng was more interested.

How did such a thing come about? Why was it left in the desert? What was the purpose for it? What is the superficial text? Calendar, totem, symbol of power? It doesn't seem to be.

Xu Zheng looked at it for a long time, and his mind was full of question marks.
