This Lord Qi came to give gifts and also to extort money.
This was Yu Hongdou’s first reaction after hearing Lord Qi’s request.
Emperor Anhe was very generous. Knowing that the Yu family would have to come to Beijing in the future, he rewarded them with a large house in the capital and a large farm in the suburbs of Beijing. In addition, he also gave them a thousand taels of silver, some fabrics, jewelry and ornaments.
After giving the gift, he asked for it. He had never been to the farm, but he knew that the farm had a waterwheel made by someone else. After ordering Master Qi to inspect it and ask for the blueprint, he even dismantled a waterwheel on the spot and packed it up and took it away...
"Tan Jiu asked me about converting the waterwheel into a windmill before. Please make a copy of the drawing and bring it back to Master Qi!"
Yu Hongdou watched speechlessly as Lord Qi ordered his men to dismantle the waterwheel. She decided to be a good person and took back ten sets of the drawings given to Tan Langxiu and the three-dimensional model of the waterwheel that her second uncle had just sent. After all, Emperor An He had spent so much money.
Lord Qi, who came from the Ministry of Industry, was already excited to see the prey. He stared at the rows of water wheels with fascinated eyes and was shocked. After hearing what Yu Hongdou said, he could not help but clapped his hands in approval.
In the next few days, Lord Qi appeared in various places in Zhuangzi during the day, and wrote at night to Emperor Anhe who was far away in the capital, recording everything he saw and heard, as well as his own imagination.
Five days later, Lord Qi set out on his journey home in high spirits, with twice as many carriages, horses, and boxes as when he came. He also took away Xiang Shaoyue, who was issued twelve "wanted orders" by his father and superior.
As soon as Lord Qi and Xiang Shaoyue left, Yu Hongdou was taken to the study by the teacher.
"What is this?" Yu Hongdou looked at the pile of books in front of the teacher and the huge design drawing spread out on the table in surprise.
"I slightly modified Chen's lightning-inducing formation, otherwise the loss and noise would be too great." Mo Shougui waved at Yu Hongdou, motioning her to come over and take a look.
Yu Hongdou stood next to the Bagua-shaped design and raised her eyebrows. She now felt reflexively terrified when she saw this shape.
"That's it. The smallest site must be as big as one acre of land." Mo Shougui sighed. The parts have been reduced to the smallest possible size. If they are reduced further, it may not work.
Yu Hongdou looked at the dimensions on the design drawing and quickly calculated in her mind. Finally, she had to admit the genius of her teacher Mo. This design and parts would be among the best in the modern society, even without sophisticated instruments.
That’s it... Yu Hongdou looked at the black stone on the antique shelf that was still glowing green. The teacher might be disappointed.
Before she came back, she was worried about her second senior brother Xiang Shaoyue, so she thought about signing for the space fruit. However, when she came back, she was attacked by the woman Qingyi, with visitors from the northwest giving gifts, foreigners buying in wholesale, etc., and she forgot about signing in.
And the "advanced tablet from alien civilization" given by the second brother has not been signed yet.
Yu Hongdou felt heartbroken when she thought about having to sign out hundreds of points at once.
To be honest, she has quite a few points now, but this thing is like a deposit. As you save it, you develop feelings for it, and once you spend it, it makes you feel sad.
What's more, there are so many blueprints and material packages in the mall waiting for her to purchase. If she spends one more point, she may miss out on a piece of technology!
However, she had to sign. She could even not use the space, but she couldn't refuse the system upgrade. She hoped that after completing the task, the sign-in points could be returned like last time.
Yu Hongdou looked at the black stone, then at the teacher who was staring at the drawing with great interest and muttering to himself, said sorry in his heart, raised his hand and touched the thick green beam of light.
[Successful sign-in: Get 1 space fruit. ]
[Task completed: Get 1 level 1 space, 300 sign-in points.]
[System upgrade in progress...1%...2%...]
Great! Yu Hongdou looked at the unchanged points and breathed a sigh of relief. This way, she could sign the gold plate directly when she got back.
The system upgrade took a day and a night.
Yu Hongdou had been dragged by her teacher to the workshop to start making parts. While supervising the master craftsman rubbing the lightning rod by hand, she also had to answer questions from the "designers" in the workshop who came to ask her for opinions on new products from time to time.
She was so busy that just as she closed her eyes at night and was about to have sex, she suddenly heard a "ding" sound.
He woke up in shock from his dying dream and opened the system panel.
There was a [Space] button suddenly appeared next to the backpack.
Yu Hongdou drew aside the bed curtain and looked outside. Qian Sanmei and Simei were both keeping watch outside the bedchamber and were now asleep.
She lightly tapped [Space], and a white, empty cube appeared vaguely in her mind.
Yu Hongdou was stunned for a moment, and silently said in her heart: "Go in."
"..." She lowered her eyes and looked, she was still wrapped in her little quilt on the bed.
"Open sesame?"
"Open space?"
After trying every slogan she could think of, she was still rejected from the "space".
Yu Hongdou was so angry that she picked up a pillow and prepared to hit him hard, but the pillow disappeared with a "whoosh"...
In the vast white, empty space in my mind, a golden and red satin pillow suddenly appeared.
"..." This is also called space? Yu Hongdou wanted to complain, but then she thought, it seems that there are indeed many spaces that cannot be entered by living things or even people...
"Okay, you're so cruel!" Yu Hongdou pulled out a pillow from the space, spoke harshly to the system, then lay down and pulled the quilt to cover her head.
After a while, the quilt was lifted again. Yu Hongdou suddenly got up, took out the gold plate wrapped in coarse cloth that the second senior brother had given her before from the closet, and touched it without hesitation.
[Successful sign-in: Get an advanced tablet (offline version) from an alien civilization. ]
? Now she is not sleepy anymore.
Yu Hongdou wrapped up the gold plate she had obtained after signing in hastily, threw it into the space, and then took out the new gold plate she had obtained from signing in from her backpack.
The metal block is not even as big as a palm. It is golden and has no patterns or words on it. It looks more like a gold-cast peace and safety plaque.
Yu Hongdou rubbed the gold plate with her fingers, and it glowed faintly. Then it began to flow like liquid and soon turned into a metal plate of nearly 8 inches.
A three-dimensional light screen was projected from above the metal plate. Yu Hongdou, who thought she was calm, sat up straight in surprise.
This pad looks quite advanced. Could it be iPad 28?
Thinking of the humorous iPhone meme in a certain online drama, Yu Hongdou couldn't help laughing even in such a serious situation.
Strange yet familiar small square icons appeared on the light screen, as if pulling out some forgotten memories from the depths of the mind, making people nostalgic.
Yu Hongdou sniffed and looked at the icons intently. She saw the pale yellow icon at first glance. She tapped it lightly, and the light screen suddenly changed. The vast starry sky appeared on the small space...
