Chapter 784 But I only know how to play in the mud
One month later.
Tina observes the latest construction progress at the construction site.
The area where this group of houses is located was officially named "Dags Manor".
The originally desolate and rugged stone mountain was carved out into winding veins like tree branches, the stone road was built into the shape of tree bark, and a small half of the mountain was transformed into the exposed roots of some giant tree.
The workers were still clanging and hammering.
The housing part is actually easy.
Thinking is the most difficult.
Whether it is building stone houses, paving roads or beautifying the environment, these experienced workers can complete the relevant technologies according to the architect's requirements.
After the model house was opened to the public, under the promotion of the business, the Dagus-style house became a hot spot in Yancheng. Many people come to visit and inquire every day, full of curiosity and appreciation for this place.
"Is this the kind of house the Daggs live in?"
"Yes sir, that's why it's called Dagus style. We have kept the Dagus style and added the comfort, convenience and advanced aspects of Yancheng, so you don't have to worry about your daily life."
"How much does a house like this cost?"
"There are several specifications depending on your needs... Our pricing is not cheap, and we strive to create a high-quality living environment of the signboard and a unique and elegant design. In this world, beauty is a luxury, isn't it?"
"But it's not very convenient here. I don't have a car to go out."
"Miss, please don't worry. Soon, a special railway line will be opened from Yancheng to the famous ancient salt pond in the west. It will also become a scenic spot open to the public, so the value of this place will only increase further."
…
The agents of the Chamber of Commerce were all eloquent and described the Dagus-style courtyard in great detail.
Tina was used to it.
What people pay for, besides the function of the item itself, is the extra value and subjective emotions given to the item… To put it in more familiar terms, I pay and I am happy to do so.
As an architect, it is a great pleasure to see that the buildings I designed are loved and sought after by people.
But she has more important things to do now.
After confirming that there were no problems at the construction site, Tina drove quickly back to the college office.
In the mailbox at the door, she unexpectedly saw the long-awaited letter.
Signed "Mrs. Matthews".
This is my mother's handwriting and name. My father Pava's other identity is the storyteller Matthews.
Tina took it apart and took a look.
It's written inside.
"Got it, take it, and I wish you good luck."
It was concise and to the point in the mother's style, and it also contained a large city bond with a face value of 3 million.
Very good!!
Fortunately, I managed to hold on by selling everything I had.
Tina flicked the papers in her hand and said to the young assistant who was busy inside, "Don't worry about the materials for the second issue. The sponsorship has arrived."
Vilia said "oh" and she was concentrating on making clay figures.
The mud she uses now is not the common white or reddish-brown clay, but a lead-gray soft soil with a smooth surface and stronger viscosity.
This is an extremely expensive alternative.
Forbidden land.
It comes from the distant Xirang Mine, and the output is not large. It is currently only supplied to qualified scholars or research institutions, and the price is still high.
The shaping function of forbidden soil is much stronger than that of clay, because it has stronger viscosity and elasticity, and is not easy to collapse or deform naturally.
It is the impurities stripped out of the Xirang, which is itself the powdered forbidden stone. It does not need to be burned with the fire of faith. It only needs to be heated at low temperature or wait for it to dry naturally, and it will solidify into the forbidden stone again.
The forbidden stone has the ability to isolate various elements.
At present, Yao scholars have tested and found that by adding a small amount of fine sand and iron sand, the forbidden soil can be solidified into a new material with both strength and stability. It will be able to conduct power through the iron sand, and the conduction speed can be determined by adjusting the iron sand content.
It’s just expensive.
Tina almost emptied her savings to buy enough forbidden soil for Vilia to use in the first stage.
Facts have also proved that there is a reason why it is expensive.
Runes engraved on forbidden soil are very stable and will hardly deform. They have strong bearing capacity and are not as easy to break or become uneven as pottery fired from clay.
Vilia used forbidden soil as raw material and pieced together a finished prop using new clay pieces.
Tina looked at the shelf against the wall, where there was a tall and big hammer. Its surface was made of square gray forbidden stone, and both the handle and the hammer head were square.
This is the magic wand made by Vilia.
In the actual production, because the bending of clay pieces would cause the runes to become ineffective, and the bending technology had not yet been mastered, Vilia used pieces of clay to piece together a long column, and then made the head of the magic wand based on it...
In short, due to technical difficulties, the magic wand eventually turned into a shape like a gray giant hammer.
But it can really fly.
When they first tried it in the suburbs, Tina sat behind Vilia and was extremely surprised when she saw the girl slowly moving the handle to control the wand to fly.
She originally thought that at best she could levitate.
Flying is a very complex sport, which requires staying in the air and floating, moving forward and turning, as well as controlling speed and balance.
Even in the fields of magic and engineering, flying is a very difficult subject.
The fact that the Flying Boat Project took a hundred years to achieve initial success is enough to illustrate its complexity.
But Vilia found it very easy to control. She was like a magician riding a goose and could fly easily by twisting the handle of her hammer wand.
"Teacher, every piece of clay on this wand is useful. As long as there are enough of them, you can do a lot of things."
The girl rode on the hammer-shaped magic wand and flew happily at a low altitude.
"I reinforced the head of the wand, which is also the heaviest part, with a lot of clay pieces. The power they provide can push it forward, just like someone is always pushing us from behind."
"The long handle of the magic wand has evenly spaced clay flakes, so it won't lose balance. The end of the magic wand, where I hold it, is similar to the reins of a horse. It can be done by gently turning it, because the power here is not sealed..."
What she said made Tina secretly frightened.
The small clay piece became a magic part with infinite functions in Vilia's hands. The magic ability alone could produce incredible qualitative changes through different combinations and arrangements.
Tina thought, she is indeed a genius.
“I envy the teacher.”
Vilia's short hair fluttered in the wind. "You can do everything. You can draw blueprints, speak at least four languages, build houses, mix clay, bake bricks, use [Magic Box Garden], use elemental crystals to build various models, understand all kinds of spices, cosmetics and clothes, and master difficult mathematics. You are an architect, understand business, and come from an enviable family... You can do everything. As long as I ask you, you will teach me."
"But I only know how to play in the mud."
Tina was stunned. In the eyes of others, was she such an omnipotent person? Maybe everyone tended to ignore the things they mastered.
Maybe there are no geniuses in this world.
Or maybe, everyone in this world is a genius.
It's just that sometimes people are like clay, living deep under the leaf litter and in the ditches and rivers on the mountains, and may never be able to get to the right workbench to play a role in their entire lives.
She thought.
What exactly is the difference between the Dags and the Yao?
Is it the difference between Odin and Yao?
Is it the result of inferiority and self-confidence? Or is it the inevitable result of poverty and wealth?
Maybe both.
Tina touched Vilia's head and said, "Don't doubt yourself, you are a genius."
The girl said somewhat sadly: "I just hope my mother can recover her health."
"Don't worry."
Tina told her: "The social rules of the Yao tribe are - what kind of treatment and resources you can get depends on the ability you show. If your ability is strong enough, even the gods may be able to treat your mother."
Vilia nodded: "I will try my best!"
Tina said: "I will report to Yancheng's current Apostle Yan Hu. You will be required to present this achievement at that time. This will enable this invention to be truly recognized and applied on a large scale, and it will also help your mother get better treatment."
"Really?! Thank you, teacher!" Vilia looked excited.
…
However, when the day really came, Velia stuttered and could not speak clearly.
The girl stood under the statue of God Yao in the temple, and she was so nervous that she almost cried.
Her shoulders trembled slightly. "... This... I call it [Plastic Sheet]. It has a strong shaping ability. It is, that is, a piece made of forbidden soil, just like ordinary mud, no, it is a piece of clay, like a very small brick, and also like a handkerchief..."
Her incoherent speech made Tina next to her anxious.
It’s not Vilia’s fault.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After all, she is just a child of thirteen or fourteen years old.
Here, everyone standing in a circle is a famous figure.
Blackforge, the father of the [Elemental Demon Realm].
【Flying Boat Ring Road】The general manager is Fahai.
The Blood Hill Apostle, the legendary hero of the Yao clan and the light of warriors Yan Jiu.
The regent of the Resurrection Kingdom and the apostle Maocao.
Yazdan, the representative of Sand City, the founder of Sand City Gazette, and the apostle of the god Billions of Bodies.
The apostle of the island, the assistant of the god [the King of Light], [the vengeful spirit girl] Neferi.
Even Philus, who was far away in the mine, rushed back just to meet with Vilia to discuss the [Plastic Film].
Among them, Yan Hu, the apostle of Yancheng appointed by the Tyrant, is considered a young man and a younger generation.
In addition to these great apostles who have gone down in history, there is also a heavyweight god sitting in to listen.
On the blood throne suspended in the center, the god [Tyrant] wearing a bone deer antler helmet and a blood-red cloak rested his chin with one hand, overlooking the entire scene.
Being watched by the gods and so many apostles made it hard to breathe.
Tina took a deep breath and decided to help her assistant out: "Respected God and fellow apostles, I am Tina, Vilia's teacher and agent. She is not very good at reporting in public. Please allow me to speak on Vilia's behalf about her findings and achievements."
Vilia gave him a grateful look.
The apostles looked at Tina.
The female architect picked up the square gray block in her hand and said, "This is a [plastic sheet]. You have all seen and tried it. Its greatest function is that it can be standardized in size and can be combined with each other, just like the standards of the White Bone Project, just like a classical wooden building."
"It can carry the power of runes and can maintain the power of spells for at least 15 days. As long as there is a magic bottle, it can be recharged at any time. Of course, the biggest advantage is its detachable assembly. If we want, we can assemble a magic wand with plastic pieces at any time and take people flying."
Tina gently grabbed the huge hammer-shaped wand, rode on it, and slowly floated up. As she pulled the end of the wand, the plastic wand slowly turned in the air.
This caused a discussion among the apostles.
"In addition, there is this full body armor made by Vilia. Although it is a bit crude, its function is very clear."
Tina landed on the ground, took down a set of large lamellar armor from the shelf on the other side, and took them apart and put them on.
She buckled the last piece of armor belt, and her whole body slowly floated up, walking slowly up and down in the air.
"My Lords, this is the [Plastic Flying Suit]. After putting it on, ordinary people can also float."
The apostles became quiet at this time, each of them fell into deep thought, staring at the equipment on her body.
After getting confirmation, Vilia pulled Tina down with the armor belt.
Tina took off her armor skillfully and continued, "The most important thing is that this is a very strong support for the Rune. In the past, we always thought that the Rune was useless, but we used it improperly and did not discover its internal format and various combinations. Whether it is Dragon Language or Rune, only the characters that can be used by the Yao Clan are truly useful tools!"
There was silence.
This is equivalent to directly denying the judgment of Apostle Longji in the past, and criticizing the Yao clan's decades of wrong thinking on rune runes.
The apostles also fell silent.
In the end, it was the Skeleton Apostle Philus who laughed: "Very good, you are right, Tina."
"Your experiments and results have overturned the existing Longji's judgment and inference, which is a good thing. If there are no new things to replace the old things, then our Yao civilization will truly stagnate. We must persist in doing the right thing. You have done a good job."
Tina felt a little relieved.
He can be said to be the most senior apostle except Miss Isabel, and is also the one who opened the door to the Fire Age for the Yao civilization.
What Philus does is the ultimate goal pursued by all engineers - that is to lead the entire civilization forward and change.
Tina continued: "Based on this judgment, we made a model."
Vilia took out a gray house model from the box.
After taking the little house, Tina gently rotated the twist piece below, aligning the last piece of plastic, and then let go.
The house hovered steadily in the air.
"This is a model we made in proportion to ordinary houses in Yancheng. The plastic sheets are enough to make them suspended in the air, and we can even make a large number of flying houses."
"If we can add the [Elemental Magic Well] and [Magic Bottle] to it, then theoretically, we can create a city that has never existed and will never fall."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
The apostles gathered around the floating house and began to discuss, each with their own opinions.
"I believe that the achievements of the Yao civilization so far are inseparable from the creations of our ancestors in the past. But now, with the plastic pieces and the expansion of runes, we only need the magic well and magic bottle to supply--"
Tina picked up the gray cube in her hand: "We can gain another power to rewrite the world."
After many apostles asked about the various details, they repeatedly verified it, and the results proved that Tina was not making random comments.
On the throne, the god [Tyrant] also slowly raised his head.
“What you have created is indeed valuable.”
"You can ask for anything you want, and I will do my best to meet your needs."
The tyrant's voice was cold and unquestionable.
Tina looked at the young assistant next to her and knelt on one knee: "God, Vilia's mother is suffering from a serious illness. Can you make her healthy again..."
The tyrant was about to say something, but suddenly He slowly stood up, raised his head and looked up: "It seems that I don't need to interfere."
He bowed slightly toward the sky.
Tina felt a vast force enveloping her.
Even tyrants have to stand up and salute... It's the God Yao!
She and Vilia quickly knelt down and prayed.
Then a moment later, the goddess of medicine, bathed in golden light, descended into the temple.
Sekhmet, with a noble and cold face, appeared, and his voice was as clear and penetrating as the rumors said.
"Don't worry, your mother's heart problem has recovered, but she still needs more rest."
Vilia kowtowed vigorously in excitement: "Thank you, great God Yao... Thank you, Lady Goddess, thank you, Lord Tyrant!"
Tina was immediately relieved.
Now that Lord Yao has shown up, everything will be fine.
She looked at the apostles who were arguing with each other, their faces flushed and their voices getting louder and louder, and suddenly she wanted to laugh.
There are also various problems in the Yao civilization today. There are many hypocritical and annoying opportunists, there are also various elites who are just filling in the numbers and have a reputation greater than their actual ability, there are shameless people who buzz like flies and are complacent, and there are endless system comparisons and sense of superiority... These are all objective facts.
But here, as long as you keep moving forward unremittingly, you will definitely be able to reach higher places and closer to the sun.
The closer you get to the top of the mountain where Lord Yao is, the more scenery you can see.
Do you want to see the apostles cursing at each other, glaring at each other and stiffening their necks?
Then let's move forward.
