Chapter 0007 It is recommended not to turn your head down when entering the water
What Luo Xiaotian is going to make is a music box, he did this in a competition in the university handicraft club, compared to other people's handmade products that are just a number, Luo Xiaotian's simple music box won the first prize.
Because it was the end of the midterm exams at that time, he didn't have to accompany his girlfriend who didn't know where he was or who wasn't born at all, so he spent some time collecting information and making this music box little by little. It's really only eight notes, after all, Luo Xiaotian really can't cut out more comb teeth.
Now that he had found something like a magic motor, Luo Xiaotian thought of making a music box, which was relatively simple except for the difficulty of combing teeth and comb teeth. The comb teeth are the part responsible for pronunciation, and the comb-shaped articulators of different lengths can be cut out on the steel sheet, and the comb teeth are needle-like things that protrude out of the round, and the comb teeth can be driven to pronounce in the process of turning.
Because there is still a week to go, and Luo Xiaotian has not seen the right tools for making these two things for the time being, so Luo Xiaotian is not in a hurry, he thinks of a place, maybe he can try it.
"Matthew, someone's looking for you!"
After asking for the help of a young man who was wrapped in a turban, took off his shirt, and his skin was baked to a bronzed color, Luo Xiaotian found Matthew Kellogg, a professional in iron smelting.
This is a laboratory for iron smelting, popularly speaking, it is a blacksmith shop built by the school, even if you stand outside the door, the rolling heat wave still can't resist the impact of Luo Xiaotian's nerves, and the sound of hitting various metals keeps coming out of the room in all directions, and you can still hear the sound of quenching. The small blast furnace in the distance was also firing at full power, and a few people kept sending black coal under the blast furnace.
The reason why I found Matthew was because Luo Xiaotian had heard from Marx that this Matthew Kellogg was a celebrity at Fink City Comprehensive College. He came from a commoner family, and his father was also a blacksmith, so he could have successfully inherited his father's blacksmith shop after studying at school, but at some point, he seemed to have gone down the wrong path.
Matthew became obsessed with making lifelike dolls out of all kinds of metals, making small models of windmills, or models of various magical beasts.
If Luo Xiaotian wants to say, this young man may have been poisoned by the figure.
"Matthew, I'm Ronald from the prep class, I want to make something interesting little things, but I can't do it at my level, I wonder if you can help me?"
Luo Xiaotian can save money, these words are not only in line with Matthew's interest, but also compliment his skills, he shouldn't be collecting money from himself, right?
Matthew was also bronzed, with bulging muscles that were extremely presence, perhaps he had just come from the side of the stove, and his body seemed to be covered with a layer of wax and shiny. Because he had short hair, Matthew didn't wear a headscarf and looked very energetic.
"Okay? What is it?"
Sure enough, Matthew looked very interested, and his eyes became sharp.
"Well, I want to make a music box, and there are two things I can't make. Then I wanted to make some holes in these iron sheets. ”
Luo Xiaotian took out the drawings he had drawn in advance and handed them to Matthew, speaking of which the painting class was really effective, and it became quite easy to draw a drawing.
"Hmm... No problem, thanks to your patronage, a total of 30 silver coins... You see, these two little things are very difficult to make, and I don't even count the money for these punching jobs!"
"Hmm, okay..."
Luo Xiaotian is not the kind of person who stalks and makes trouble unreasonably, although he really wants to save money, but since others have already marked the price, he no longer has this kind of thought, and took out the crystal card that he had done before and swiped thirty silver coins to Matthew. The crystal card was handled in the Bauhinia Imperial Bank before, as long as both parties agree, you can transfer money through the crystal card, and the amount and balance will be displayed on the card surface, this technology is too convenient, and what makes Luo Xiaotian unaware is that this card is also bound to his own soul, and others can't use it even if they pick up this card, which is more high-end than what binds the mobile phone number password real-name authentication or something, I don't know how much it is good or not.
"Come and get it in the evening, an afternoon is enough. ”
"Okay. ”
Saying goodbye to Matthew, there was another lesson on the history of magic in the afternoon, Luo Xiaotian liked this class very much, because the history of magic was really novel and interesting.
The afternoon is the beginning of the new era. As the ancient magicians fought against the constant calamities, some of the human fire was preserved, and the shelters they created saved many nobles and many more commoners. It's not because the great ancient mages believed in the equality of all people, but because the catastrophe came so quickly that there was no choice.
The people in the shelter inevitably reflected on the causes of these disasters and began to believe in the ethereal gods, and there must be a supreme existence, so that the legendary magicians who were almost gods in people's eyes were helpless.
Miraculously, their prayers were strengthened, from the power of "God". The Holy Light, full of Holy Light, drives away the darkness and purifies the evil spirits that are raging everywhere because of the calamity into a scattered beautiful light.
As more and more people believed in the "gods", I don't know if it was because of coincidence or if there was really a supreme power and authority, the disaster finally stopped, and humanity began to rebuild, and at the same time, it was completely divided from ancient magic, at least as it is written in the brief history of magic, they called themselves the believers who saved the world, believed in the god of light, and they were the first high-ranking priests and bishops of the Illuminati religion.
There is no detailed description in the book, in fact, there is no explicit opposition between the priest and the priest, but there is no harmony between two groups of people of different faiths who also have power.
After finishing a brief history of magic and routinely completing the cleaning work, Luo Xiaotian returned to the blacksmith shop... No, it should be called an iron-smelting laboratory to get back what you custom-made.
"Ronald, you're so good to be here, I've just made what you want. But I'm really curious, what the hell are these two things for?"
Taking the comb teeth handed over by Matthew and the roller full of comb teeth, Luo Xiaotian tried to pluck the comb teeth and tried the timbre, although there are some gaps with the standard, but it should not be a big problem, as long as the comb teeth on the drum are not much different from the position marked on his own drawings, there will be no problem.
"Hehe, when it's done, I can show you it, and your figurine... No, metal dolls are sold?"
"Ah, these things are all made by me, if you want to take ten silver coins one by one. ”
Looking at the pile of dolls on Matthew's workbench, Luo Xiaotian, who originally wanted to replace them with wooden dolls, changed his mind, and metal dolls can also be used. He picked out two metal dolls that looked relatively small and refined and bought them.
Picking up the pile of things on the table and the iron plate with holes, Luo Xiaotian prepared to go back to the dormitory and try to start assembling the music box.
......
"Ronald, it's my birthday this weekend, do you want to have a party? I've invited them all, but it's okay if you don't go, just say happy birthday to me. ”
"No, I'm going, give me the invitation. ”
"Okay. ”
Nina took out a refined red invitation card from her pocket with some confusion, so that Luo Xiaotian didn't know if Nina wanted to let herself go to her birthday party.
In addition to saying that this was Nina's thirteenth birthday party, the invitation also indicated the location and time.
However, today is Thursday, two days before the Saturday indicated on the invitation, and the production of the music box is nearing completion.
chatted with Nina who was sitting next to him about the history of magic, and Teacher Sean pushed the door and walked in, yes, this class is a brief history of magic class that Luo Xiaotian likes.
......
The campfire kept burning and crackling, and the cyan smoke rose slowly because of the moisture of the added wood.
There was only a rain yesterday, and the grass was still a little wet, Luo Xiaotian prepared a linen soaked in oil and spread it on the ground, holding a long fishing rod in his hand.
That's right, Luo Xiaotian came to fight the tooth sacrifice again, and after continuous transformation, this fishing rod is almost the same as the fishing rod from another world in his memory. He chose a hard ironwood branch to use as a fishing rod, and asked Matthew to make a hook with barbed hooks, which were cut into floats with bamboo, and even if they were bait, they no longer used good-looking earthworms, but a kind of insect that is said to be very attractive to fish, the giant toothed cicada, which has large teeth, but survives by sucking tree sap like cicadas, so it is really puzzling what the teeth do, well, maybe just for fighting.
Running the hook far enough to the lake, Luo Xiaotian sat on the oilcloth and waited for the fish to take the bait.
After a while, the float sank violently, and Luo Xiaotian hurriedly grabbed the fishing rod.
"This time the fish has a lot of strength!"
Feeling the force coming from the fishing rod, Luo Xiaotian released the teeth on the winch and let the fish swim towards the center of the lake with the fishing line in tow.
"Nina, are you there?"
Luo Xiaotian controlled the fishing rod while looking forward to Nina being able to walk nearby today, he really couldn't bear this fishing rod, the best situation if it went on like this was that the fishing line ran out, and the fishing rod and winch were left. Making a fish hook is still very expensive, and there are not many bamboos here and it is difficult to find.
didn't hear Nina's response, Luo Xiaotian gritted his teeth, firmly hugged the tree next to him with one arm, closed the stuck teeth, and tried in vain to slowly exhaust the fish's strength by relying on the fulcrum.
"I'm rubbing!ah~~~~"
In just an instant, Luo Xiaotian could no longer catch the trunk of the tree, was carried by the fishing rod, crossed an arc, and fell towards the middle of the lake screaming.
Before his consciousness disappeared, Luo Xiaotian only thought about one question.
What kind of black technology is this twine for making fishing line?
