The man who led Xu Zheng and Xiao Bangjia into the room stepped forward and shouted, "Sit down!"

The short-bearded dwarf glared at the man angrily before he sat down reluctantly. When his eyes turned, he glanced at Xu Zheng and Xiao Bangjia, and his eyes also showed a look of disgust.

The dark-bearded dwarf looked much calmer, put down the forging tool in his hand, and said, "What can't be made?"

The man said, "This guest has a drawing, and you can make it according to his request." You can discuss the specific details, and you will tell me what materials you want later. If it's done well, I'll send more wine. ”

The short-bearded dwarf snorted and said, "You don't need to make it conditional on good wine. We are not human. With the God of Forging on top, no dwarf would fail to do their best in crafting. ”

The man was suffocated, his face was a little unbearable, and he accused Xu Zheng of a crime and retreated to the room.

Xu Zheng and Xiao Banga glanced at each other, neither of them knew how to deal with the race they had never seen, and they stayed where they were for a while, not knowing what to do. Xu Zheng looked at the shackles on the two dwarves, but he was a little upset for the two dwarves. The so-called guilt, these two dwarves were arrested as slaves because of their good forging skills, and they were treated like prisoners, shackled and handcuffed. Human beings are really a complex and contradictory race with deep inferior roots. Xu Zheng couldn't help but shake his head secretly, a little disappointed in his own race.

Humans always seem to be like this, and it is not uncommon throughout human history to oppress other races in order to satisfy their own desires. Xu Zheng was not like this in his previous life, under the high development of science and technology, whether from the objective living conditions or the subjective reasons of human aggression itself, human beings have been expanding their colonies outward with the galactic solar system as the center, and there are many internal disputes, and there is no peace for a day. It wasn't until another powerful race crossed the edge of the universe that the entire human race was forced to form an interstellar alliance to fight against foreign enemies under the pressure of external forces. It's ridiculous that it's not the human race itself that really makes all mankind work together, but the powerful enemy who oppresses the realm and feels the existential crisis and has to do it. Alas, human beings, Xu Zheng sighed lightly in his heart, when will we be able to truly unite as one, not to bully the weak and fear the strong, and to show the true style of the overlord of the earth?

Seeing that Xu Zheng hung his head and was silent for a long time, Xiao Bangjia pushed Xu Zheng with his elbow and said, "Brother Xu Zheng?"

"Hmm?" Xu Zheng was slightly startled before he woke up from his introspection. Seeing that little Banga and the two dwarves were looking at him, he couldn't help but smile apologetically.

Seeing that it was two human teenagers, the attitude of the dwarves was not as bad as just now. The gray-bearded dwarf even said in a tone that was close to calm, "Human, what are you going to build? ”

Xiao Banga looked at the thick chains on the two dwarves, a little frightened, and leaned close to Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng smiled and stepped forward to hand over the drawings.

The graybearded dwarf only glanced at the drawings and then sighed softly, dragging the thick chain all the way to the limit, and walked into the sunlight to carefully look at the drawings in his hand to the sunlight closest to him. When I saw it for the second time, I couldn't help but sigh again.

The short-bearded dwarf sensed something was wrong, and stood up and asked his companion, "What's wrong?"

The gray-bearded dwarf's hands trembled, and he said in disbelief, "It's a decomposed view of the gnome!"

The short-bearded dwarf jumped up with a snort, rushed at Xu Zheng, and shouted: "Despicable! you should also catch the dwarf!" He rushed like this, his momentum was amazing, his whole face was angry, Xu Zheng was also frightened, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The short-bearded dwarf straightened his chains after only a few steps, unable to move any further, only glaring at Xu Zheng with a pair of bull's eyes open.

The gray-bearded dwarf stopped, "Don't be impulsive, this drawing doesn't look like it came from a dwarf. It seems—" After a few more glances, he said, "It's much more detailed." He turned his head to look at Xu Zheng and said gently, "Human, where did this drawing come from?"

Xu Zheng said: "I painted it myself. There was some expectation in his heart, he was drawing three views in the standard construction mechanics drawing method, and this dwarf recognized it at a glance.

The short-bearded dwarf glanced at Xu Zheng with contemptuous eyes, and said, "You humans can draw this kind of thing, come on, the god of wisdom has given the dwarves endless wisdom, the god of forging has given the dwarves exquisite forging skills, and the humans have gained greed and cruelty from the chaotic faith." ”

Little Banga was a little annoyed, and he was bold, and said loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xu Zheng pulled Xiao Banga, and in a way, this dwarf was not wrong. Although the words are difficult to hear, they do speak to the root of human history. There is no way to argue with this.

The Greybeard Dwarf stopped his companion and asked again, "Human, you really drew this drawing?"

Xu Zheng nodded, picked up a piece of iron on the iron, and began to draw casually. This time, instead of just three views of the main and left side of the structure, he drew two views of the main and right sides together. These two views are generally not applied in formal mechanical drawing applications, and Xu Zheng also drew them according to the projection relationship in order to prove that the drawings were designed by himself. If it weren't too much trouble, he even planned to draw a three-axis three-dimensional diagram with an inclination of 45 degrees.

The short-bearded dwarf watched, and the look on his face slowly changed from contempt to contempt, and finally to conviction.

The graybearded dwarf sighed and said, "This technique has always been the unique skill of the dwarf, but I didn't expect humans to master this technique as well. No wonder we, the non-human race, have been oppressed. I have to say that you human beings are indeed one of the races with the most potential for development. ”

Hearing his companion say this, the short-bearded dwarf only snorted this time and said nothing, but the frustrated expression on his face appeared.

Xu Zheng felt guilty and said, "There are not many people who have mastered this kind of technology. "If you're not mistaken, this advanced exploded view is probably only known to you.

The gray-bearded dwarf looked at the view and said with a bit of desolation, "Don't you know how to?" I believe that soon, this technology will spread among the humans of the Aris continent." A somewhat desolate smile: "Humans who often hold this advanced technology don't know how powerful they will become." There is no place for us non-human races. ”

Xu Zheng was stunned, and he couldn't help but be at a loss, whether the progress of science and technology was good or bad? Taking the previous life as an example, the progress of science and technology, on the one hand, has indeed improved the ability of human beings to survive and transform nature, on the other hand, it has made the living environment of human beings worse, pollution and war, aggression and expansion, which are also the products of scientific and technological progress, and are constantly upgrading with the progress of science and technology.

Seeing a thoughtful look in Xu Zheng's eyes that the young man shouldn't have, the gray-bearded dwarf was a little surprised. However, this surprise did not last long, and the graybeard dwarf said, "Human, since you designed the thing, you can tell us the details, and we will see if we can make it." I hope you can have the wisdom of a dwarf. Although we dwarves have been favored by the god of forging, we are only good at processing and manufacturing, and many of the true masterpieces were originally designed by small but intelligent gnomes. ”

Xu Zheng settled down and began to explain his design ideas and requirements in detail.

The two dwarves played the true colors of excellent craftsmen at this time, and in front of their favorite work, they temporarily forgot about the contradictions between races, and discussed with Xu Zheng. The short-bearded dwarf was still watching coldly, and slowly discovered that Xu Zheng's relevant knowledge was not only no worse than his two dwarves, but also faintly showed signs of transcendence, and he unconsciously joined in to start a discussion, gradually showing his unique enthusiasm for skills as a craftsman.

Time passed quickly, the angle of the sun was constantly changing, and the atmosphere between the three of them became closer and closer. Xu Zheng lay on the ground, pointed to the position where the wine pipe and the steamer were connected to the pattern copied to the ground, and said, "Will it be difficult to seal here?"

The short-bearded dwarf said: "It is difficult, mainly because the corners are relatively large. However, if pure copper is added to the casting raw material, the toughness of the material will increase, and it will be easier to bend. Anyway, this part doesn't require too much strength, it's okay. I recommend using an iron edge and a red copper structure for the bottom of the pot, so that it is easier to transfer heat. ”

Xu Zheng nodded and wrote it down on the sheepskin. He was not so familiar with the material of this world, and far less familiar than the dwarves.

The Greybeard Dwarf said, "I'm not sure that the ball valve you mentioned is well made. I've helped the gnomes build another kind of valve before, do you want to replace it with that one?" he said, and began to explain that the kind of valve designed by the dwarf was much simpler, but less reliable.

Xu Zheng understood it and felt that it was feasible, so he replaced his original design with this valve.

The short-bearded dwarf added, "I'm not in favor of the design of the sealed cover. When something is made, it can be used many times before it is reasonable and effective. If the lid is sealed, it will cause difficulties in cleaning and maintenance. Replacement with a detachable lid should be considered. ”

Xu Zheng considered that the rubber did not appear, so he said: "How about making a circle with soft lead, and fastening it with a buckle on the top? Although the lead is toxic, it can be covered with copper skin, and there should be no problem." ”

"Chamfer buckle or finger pressure buckle?"

Xu Zheng didn't know about this process, so he asked the two of them to draw it and take a look. Finally, the acupressure buckle was chosen.

The two dwarves nodded, both thinking it was good. The plan was set again.

After several discussions, Xu Zheng's original design was simplified a lot because the process could not be reached, the four-layer duplex distillation was directly simplified into two layers, the single seal was replaced by a double seal, the tower shape was changed to a straight column, which simplified the process, and in order to meet the requirements, the internal water heat transfer was changed to the second injection of hot water into the pot to form double hot water heat conduction. In short, there are a lot of changes, in line with the current process, on the premise of not affecting the quality of the wine, the process is simplified as much as possible. The three of them discussed it for nearly an afternoon before finalizing the entire design.

Looking at the design drawings he got in the end, Xu Zheng was very satisfied. He likes the atmosphere, where a group of people communicate on an equal footing, express their strengths, and work towards a common goal. Dwarves are really worthy of being a race that is good at processing and manufacturing, just like their bodies, there is really flowing creative power given to them by the god of forging, and when facing the drawings and processing technology, they are so serious, serious enough to forget that the other party is a hostile race, and can eliminate the gap between the two by making things together. At this time, they really regarded Xu Zheng as a working partner, communicating on an equal footing and discussing together. Such a character is extremely cute.

And this simple and pure race is also chained to slavery, how cruel. Xu Zheng's eyes were fixed on the chains of the two dwarves, and suddenly his heart was pounding.

Trying to swallow a mouthful of saliva that was constantly being secreted due to nervousness, Xu Zheng said calmly: "How many days can I make it?"

The graybeard dwarf thought for a while, and said, "There is no shortage of materials in the blade, and there are some ready-made molds. And this steamer is not large, that is, there are more details, but overall the workload is not large. If it were the two of us, it would have been built in two days. If the humans in the blade cooperate with us, it will only take one day!"

The short-bearded dwarf nodded, a look of confidence and pride in his craft.

Looking at the two faces that were selfless because of work, Xu Zheng's blood surged, and he suddenly blurted out: "Then for two days, don't call you helpers." If I could draw a diagram of the key again, would you be sure I could make it?"

The two dwarves were stunned, confused by Xu Zheng's sudden jump in thought. Little Banga understood, and said in shock: "Are you going to rebel?

Xu Zheng raised his head, looked at Xiao Banga fixedly, and said, "You approve of the practice of raising slaves?" I remember that when Uncle Carlo talked about dwarves, you were also full of yearning and curiosity about them, saying that you also wanted to go to the mountains to see this magical race. Lock them up here like dogs, and you can have peace of mind?"

Xiao Banga was speechless for a while, and then he said, "I want to poke out something." ”

Having already decided what to do, Xu Zheng calmed down and smiled: "Are we friends?"

Little Banga nodded affirmatively.

Xu Zheng said: "That's good." I don't ask you to help me, you just have to turn a blind eye and act as if you don't know anything. Besides, Sindono's fat pig is so annoying, and it's a pleasure to cause him a little loss. ”

Xiao Banga glared at Xu Zheng, only feeling that he was extremely bold, and wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. I was very panicked in my heart, but mixed with an inexplicable excitement, and my heart was in turmoil.

Hearing this, the two dwarves knew what Xu Zheng planned to do. The short-bearded dwarf looked at Xu Zheng in disbelief and said excitedly, "You mean, you want to help me escape?"

Xu Zheng smiled slyly: "No, I'm just creating conditions for you, and you guys will find a way to get out by yourself." What materials do you need to make the key?"

"Lead, siloferin, and a small amount of red gold. The graybeard dwarf said: "The materials are very tightly controlled, these three things are valuable, there can't be more." ”

Xu Zheng smiled slightly and said, "I remember that these three materials are used in this steamer, right?"

Both dwarves nodded.

Xu Zheng picked up the pen and drew another dwarf angle valve on the inside of the pot on the sheepskin.

The gray-bearded dwarf looked at Xu Zheng's painting, frowned, and said, "It's too much, isn't this necessary-"

Xu Zheng interrupted him and said, "It's really a big move, but wouldn't it be better not to make this valve and make two keys out of the materials used to make it?" If I'm not mistaken, the chains on your bodies must be the same key, and the one that opens the door is another key, and it's just two keys." ”

The short-bearded dwarf suddenly realized, looked at the gray-bearded dwarf with joy, and then turned back to look at Xu Zheng, and said, "You humans are cunning. "This time, the word cunning is no longer derogatory.

"Thanks for the compliment. Xu Zheng said with a smile. Punched a glance at Xiao Banga. Xiao Banga hesitated for a while, but finally walked outside the door, looked around for a while, and said in a low and nervous voice: "No one." ”

Xu Zheng quickly walked over to the two dwarves to check the locks on their bodies, and then went to study the locks that locked the door. In the end, a simple conclusion was drawn that the structure of these two locks was quite simple, with only one hinge and three chutes in the middle. The two dwarves trapped such a thing here, Xu Zheng couldn't help but shake his head.

The short-bearded dwarf was nervous for a moment, and said, "What?

Xu Zheng shook his head and said, "As long as you understand the principle, with your dwarf casting technology, it is really a very simple thing to make a key." After sliding the lock with his finger to confirm that his idea was correct, he turned back and drew a key with a long handle and three teeth, and told the two dwarves to remember it before wiping it off with their feet.

The two dwarves were excited, and they both looked at Xu Zheng with grateful eyes.

Xu Zheng was about to speak, when he heard Xiao Bang outside and said, "Oh, you're here, and we're almost done." As soon as the words fell, Xiao Banga accompanied the man who had led the two of them in earlier from outside the room. Xiao Bangjia graduated as a child, although his face was casual, when he glanced at Xu Zheng, his fingers were subconsciously twisted together, and his forehead was slightly sweaty.

Xu Zheng immediately smiled and said, "Yes, it's almost there." When will it be done?" turned his back to block the man's gaze, and his left hand stretched out two fingers from his waist.

The gray-bearded dwarf understood, and said, "Two days." ”

Xu Zheng turned around, deliberately frowned, and said, "Two days? ”

The man said, "I'll ask someone to help out, it should speed things up." ”

Xu Zheng shook his head and said, "No." I have high requirements for craftsmanship, so let's just let these two dwarves make it. With that, he led little Banga to turn around and leave.

"Wait!" the gray-bearded dwarf stopped Xu Zheng, looked at him intently, and said, "The length of humans is very close to that of dwarves. Y-what's you?"

"Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng walked forward without looking back, chatting with the side intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "This pot is used by the Yuanye Tavern, although we are residents of Xiacheng District, but we are not allowed to circulate the pattern, I will pick it up in two days, even the pattern together, this can't be passed on in the middle, okay? As for the issue of honorarium, we ...... it."

As the conversation faded away, the graybearded dwarf looked at his companion and smiled the brightest he had since becoming a slave, and said, "Interesting human, isn't it?"

The short-bearded dwarf said: "It's called Xu Zheng." Downtown's Field Tavern, I remember. ”
