The moonlight passed through the blue light of the holographic sand table, casting a shadow of flowing bronze blood sand on Mou Xuan's brow.

He tapped on the conference table shaped like the Kaogongji chime bells, and the living bronze patterns immediately teleported Engineer Cui and weapons expert Xing from different areas.

Chen Yao quietly wiped the improved version of the "night light", and the words of "Xiyang Zazu" floating in the warm yellow halo fell on her hair like fireflies.

"The bronze curtain bombs of the Hundred Tigers Galloping in Formation consume three kilograms of blood sand every hour." Engineer Cui's abacus drew a red track on the river map of the "Hefang Tongyi". His cuffs, embroidered with the "Yingzaofashi" pattern, were stained with copper rust. "It takes 72 hours to reinforce the base of the fort according to the traditional mortise and tenon structure."

When weapons expert Xing sneered, the quantum compass pendant on his chest reflected the shadow of the remaining pages of "Wu Bei Zhi". "Can those broken wooden wedges of yours withstand the acid of the corroded beast?" He threw out the rotating interstellar alloy module in the holographic projection, "Use future technology to reconstruct the energy circuit, and it will take 48 hours..."

The sound of an alarm suddenly tore through the air. Construction worker Duan pressed his hand covered in bronze powder on the alarm. The scaffolding made of movable type of "Dream Pool Essays" under his feet was being quantized and decomposed. "The coupler...the bronze gear of the transmission is stuck!" He held up a half-broken "Pendulum Leveler" recorded in "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature", and the twenty-eight constellations on the dial were spinning wildly.

The fortification site was filled with the scorching steam of smelting bronze.

Engineer Cui grabbed the blueprint of "Ziren Yizhi", and the holographic model of the mortise and tenon structure bloomed in the pile of brass gears: "It must be recalibrated with the Yin-Yang Falcon Head..."

"Pedantic!" Weapon expert Xing tore open the outer robe embroidered with the firearms diagram of the Fire Dragon Sutra, revealing a mechanical arm embedded with future chips, "Directly cut off the traditional transmission shaft, use antimatter..."

The quarrel between the two startled the dormant curtain bombs on the battlements, and the bronze beasts opened their red eyes and growled.

Chen Yao suddenly pressed the night light on the core point of the dispute, and the linkage structure of "Water Transport Observatory" emerged in the warm light: "Look, the cracks on the weight on Mou Xuan's neck are changing synchronously."

When everyone turned their heads, Mou Xuan was dipping the tip of his chopsticks into the golden jade soup and drawing a topological model that combined yin and yang, the five elements, and quantum mechanics on the edge of the "Shan Jia Qing Gong" porcelain bowl.

The bronze weight on his neck had cracks imprinted on it and star sand oozed out, resonating with the oracle bone inscriptions on the mutant beast skeleton in the distance.

"Engineer Cui, please show the earthquake resistance data of the Yin-Yang Falcon Head." Mou Xuan's voice made the restless curtain bombs dormant again, "Engineer Xing, demonstrate the energy peak of the antimatter circuit."

When the two holographic projections overlapped on the "Wu Jing Zong Yao" formation diagram, the eyelashes of the construction worker Duan, which were covered with bronze powder, suddenly trembled: "If...if the card slot of the falcon head is enlarged by 0.3 mm, will it be compatible..."

Engineer Cui's abacus fell on the Kaogong Ji floor tiles, making a clear sound like chimes.

Weapon expert Xing's mechanical arm was suspended in mid-air, and the blue light of the chip reflected the twitching corners of his mouth.

Chen Yao chuckled, and the words in the night lamp suddenly formed the lever principle diagram in the "Mojing".

Mou Xuan picked up the level meter dropped by worker Duan, and the markings of the twenty-eight constellations automatically arranged into interstellar coordinates: "Did you notice..." His fingertips brushed across the quantized river map of "Hefang Tongyi", and suddenly the vibration of the drum beats of "Zhezhi Dance" came from deep in the fortifications.

In the shadows where no one could see, the tattoo of the fragment of "Jinshilu" on the back of Chen Yao's neck was absorbing the star sand.

Three kilometers away in the resource warehouse, transport team leader Luan was scratching his head at a cargo box shaped like "Xuanhe Bogutu" - the copper turrets from the Yuan Dynasty that he was transporting were oozing bronze blood under the moonlight, slowly solidifying into new oracle bone characters.

(Continued from the previous article)

The golden jade soup on Mou Xuan's fingertips solidified into a glowing topological node on the edge of the porcelain bowl. Engineer Cui's Yin-Yang Falcon Head earthquake resistance data and weapon expert Xing's antimatter energy peak collided on the holographic sand table to produce bluish-white sparks.

Construction worker Duan suddenly poked his finger covered in bronze powder into the projection layer, and those suspended interstellar coordinates were suddenly strung on the level meter like candied haws.

"0.3 mm!" Engineer Cui's counting rods suddenly stood upright and began to dance on the river map of the "Hefang Tongyi". "If Engineer Xing's chip can simulate the Pythagorean theorem in the "Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art"..."

The futuristic chip on the Xing weapon expert's robotic arm suddenly projected the seven-balance and six-space diagram from the Zhoubi Suanjing, which perfectly matched the bronze mortise and tenon structure.

The defensive fortifications on the holographic sand table suddenly collapsed into a Tai Chi Yin-Yang fish, and then exploded into a formation of hundreds of tigers running together covered with quantum cloud patterns.

Those restless bronze curtain bombs suddenly quieted down, and a liquid protective film that was a fusion of star sand and oracle bone script flowed out from the muzzles.

"Done!" Construction worker Duan threw off his apron covered with bronze powder, and the movable type of "Dream Pool Essays" on the scaffolding automatically spelled out the celebratory "Pozhen Music".

As the first modified curtain bomb whizzed through the simulated acid rain, the bronze gears of the entire fortification area simultaneously played "Lanling King's Battle Song", and even the bronze beasts sleeping on the battlements swayed their heads to the rhythm.

At this moment, Chen Yao came over with a food box containing "The Chef's Record".

The food box contained the plum blossom soup cake recorded in "Shan Jia Qing Gong" and the crystal minced meat from "Zhong Kui Lu". Each piece of snack was carved with bronze patterns from "Jin Shi Lu".

The remaining tattoo on the back of her neck was slightly hot, and star sand fell into the tea soup along her hair, creating the "floating clouds and rainbows" scene described in The Classic of Tea.

"Engineer Cui should replenish his liver fire." She handed the xylitol with the recipe of "Essentials of Diet and Food" to the engineer with dark circles under his eyes, "Expert Xing, would you like to try the refreshing incense?
