Chapter 784 But I can only play with mud

  One month later.

Tina observes the latest construction conditions at the construction site.

This area of ​​​​houses is officially named "Duggs Manor".

The originally desolate and rugged stone mountain was carved out with a winding vein shaped like a branch, the stone road was shaped into the shape of bark, and a small half of the mountain was transformed into the exposed roots of some kind of giant tree.

The workers are still banging away.

 The house part is easy.

 Thinking is the most difficult.

Relevant technologies, whether it is building stone houses, paving roads, or beautifying the environment, these experienced workers can complete it at the architect's request.

After the model houses were made public, Dage-style houses became a hot spot in Yancheng due to the publicity and promotion of commercial banks. Every day, many people come to visit and inquire about the place, full of curiosity and appreciation for it.

“Do the Dagos live in houses like this?”

“Yes sir, that’s why it’s called Dagos style. We have retained the Dagos style and added the comfort, convenience and advanced parts of Yancheng, so you don’t have to worry about daily life at all.”

 “How much does such a house cost?”

“Here are several sizes depending on your needs... Our pricing is not cheap, and we strive to create a high-quality living environment with sign boards 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 when I go out.”

"Miss, please don't worry. Soon, a special line for steam, steam and horse carriages will be opened below, leading 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 here will only increase further. "

 …

 The agents of the Chamber of Commerce were all eloquent and talked about the Dagos-style courtyard.

Tina is used to this.

 What people pay for, apart from the function of the item itself, is also the additional value and subjective emotion given to the item...To put it in more familiar terms, I pay for it, and I am happy to do so.

 As an architect, it’s a pleasure to see the buildings you design being loved and purchased 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, and my father Pava’s other identity is the storyteller Matthews.

Tina takes a look.

 It says inside.

“I know, take it and wish you good luck.”

 Succinct and concise motherly style, there is also a large city bond in it, with a face value of 3 million.

Very good!

 Fortunately, I was able to resist by selling iron.

Tina flicked the paper in her hand and said to the busy girl assistant inside: "Don't worry about the materials for the second issue. The sponsorship is here."

Vilia said oh, she was concentrating on squeezing the clay figurine at the moment.

The mud she uses now is not the common white or reddish-brown clay, but a lead-gray soft clay with a smooth surface and stronger stickiness.

This is an extremely expensive top-level alternative.

 Forbidden land.

It comes from remote Xinyi mines, and the output is not large. Currently, it is only available to qualified scholars or research units, 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 prone to collapse and natural deformation.

It is an impurity stripped from the soil. It is itself the powder of the forbidden stone. It does not need to be fired with the fire of faith. It only needs to be heated at a low temperature or wait for it to dry naturally, and then it will solidify into the forbidden stone again.

 Forbidden Stone has the ability to isolate various elements.

At present, Yao scholars have tested and found that adding a small amount of fine sand and iron sand can solidify the forbidden soil into a new material with both strength and stability. It will be able to conduct force through the iron sand, and the rate of conduction can be determined by adjusting the iron sand content.

 It means expensive.

Tina almost emptied her savings to buy enough forbidden land for Vilia to use in the first phase.

Facts have also proved that there are reasons for being expensive.

 The runes engraved using forbidden soil as a carrier are very stable and will hardly deform. They are extremely durable and are not as easily broken or 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. There was a tall and large hammer. Its surface was made of square gray forbidden stone. Both the long handle and the hammer head were square.

This is the wand made by Vilia.

 In actual production, the bending technology has not yet been overcome because the bending of the clay sheets will cause the runes to fail. So Vilia made a long column out of square pieces of clay, and then made the head of the wand based on it...

 In short, due to technical difficulties, the wand finally turned into a shape like a gray hammer.

 But it can really fly.

The first time she tried it in the suburbs, Tina sat behind Vilia and couldn't help but be surprised when she watched the girl slowly move the handle and control the wand to fly.

 She originally thought that it was amazing to be able to levitate.

Flying is a very complex sport that involves hanging and floating, moving forward and turning, and controlling speed and balance.

 Even in the fields of magic and engineering technology, flying is a difficult subject.

It took a hundred years for the flying boat project to achieve initial success, which illustrates its complexity.

But Vilia's control is very simple. She is like a magician riding a goose. She can fly easily by twisting the handle of the hammer wand.

“Teacher, every piece of clay on this wand is useful. As long as there are enough, you can do a lot of things.”

The girl is riding a hammer-shaped wand, flying happily at low altitude.

“At the tip of the wand, which is the heaviest part, I reinforced a lot of clay pieces. They provide the force to push us forward, as if someone is pushing us from behind.”

"The long handle of the wand has uniform pieces of clay, so it won't lose balance. The tail of the wand, which is where I hold it, is similar to the reins of a horse. You can do it by turning it gently because of the power here. Not sealed…”

 What she said made Tina secretly frightened.

Small pieces of clay turned into spell parts with infinite functions in Vilia's hands. Just a magic ability can produce incredible qualitative changes through different combinations and arrangements.

Tina thought to herself that she was indeed a genius.

 “I envy the teacher very much.”

Vilia's short hair was blowing in the wind: "You can do everything, you can draw design drawings, you can speak at least four languages, you can build houses, you can mix clay, you can burn bricks, you can use [Spell Box Court], you can Use the crystal structure of elements to build various models, understand various spices, cosmetics and clothes, and master such difficult mathematics at the same time. Are you an architect, understand business, or come from an enviable and famous family...you can do everything, All I have to do is ask you and you will teach me.”

 “But I can only play in mud.”

Tina couldn't help but be stunned. In the eyes of the other party, was she such an omnipotent person?

 Perhaps everyone tends to ignore the things they have mastered.

 Perhaps there is no genius in this world.

 Perhaps, everyone in this world is a genius.

It’s just that sometimes, people are like clay, living deep under the dead leaves and in ditches and rivers on the mountains. They may never be able to enter the correct workbench to function.

 she thought.

What is the difference between the Dage people and the Yao people?

 What is the difference between Odin and Yao? .

 Are they the different results of low self-esteem and self-confidence?

 Or is it the inevitable result of poverty and wealth?

 Perhaps both.

Tina touched Vilia's head: "Don't doubt yourself, you are a genius."

 The girl said sadly: "I just hope my mother can recover."

"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 your ability. If your ability is strong enough, even the gods may treat your mother." Vilia nodded: "I will try my best!"

Tina said: "I will report to Yanhu, the current apostle of Yancheng, and you will be required to present this result at that time. This will allow 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 came, Vilia was stammering again and couldn't speak clearly.

The girl stood under the statue of Yao in the temple, so nervous that she almost cried.

Her shoulders were shaking slightly: "...This...I call it [Plastic Piece], it has a strong shaping ability. It is, it is, a piece made of forbidden soil, just like ordinary mud, ah no, it is Like lumps of clay, like very small bricks, like handkerchiefs..."

 Her incoherent appearance made Tina next to her anxious.

 I don’t blame Vilia either.

 She is only a child of thirteen or fourteen years old after all.

 Here, everyone standing in a circle is a famous person.

The father of [Elemental Demon Realm], Black Forge.

Fahai, the general person in charge of [Feizhou Ring Road].

 The Apostle of the Blood Hill, the legendary hero of the Yao tribe and the light of the warriors Yanjiu.

 The supervisor of the Resurrection Kingdom, the Apostle Mao Cao.

Shacheng representative, founder of "Shacheng Di Bao", and apostle of the **** [Billions of Bodies] Yazdan.

 The apostle of Zhoudao, the assistant of the **** [King of Light], [Wraith Girl] Nefeli.

Even Philus, who was far away in the mine, rushed back just to meet with Vilia to discuss the [Plastic Tablet].

 Among them, Yancheng Apostle Yan Hu, who was appointed by the tyrant, can be regarded as young people and juniors.

 In addition to these great apostles whose names are recorded in history, there is also a heavyweight **** who sits and listens.

On the Blood Throne suspended in the center, the **** [Tyrant], wearing a white bone antlered helmet and a **** cloak, holds his chin with one hand, overlooking the entire scene.

 Being watched by gods and so many apostles can inevitably make it difficult to breathe.

Tina took a deep breath and decided to help her assistant: "Dear gods and fellow apostles, I am Tina, Vilia's teacher and agent. She is not very good at reporting in public, please allow me, Come and tell about her discoveries and results on Vilia’s behalf.”

 Vilia cast a grateful look.

 The apostles looked at Tina.

The female architect pinched the square gray block in her hand and said: "This is [plastic sheet]. You have all seen and tried it. Its biggest function is to be like the standards of the Bone Project, with standardized sizes and mutual understanding." It can be combined, 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 are magic bottles, they can be recharged at any time. Of course, the biggest advantage is its disassembly and assembly. Just think about it, we You can assemble a magic wand out of plastic pieces at any time and take people flying.”

Tina gently grabbed the huge hammer-shaped wand, mounted it, and slowly floated up. As she pulled the tail 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 sheet armor from the shelf on the other side, took them apart and put them on.

She buckled on the last armor belt, and her whole body slowly floated up, walking slowly up and down in the air.

“Adults, this is the [Plastic Flight Suit]. After putting it on, ordinary people can float.”

 The apostles became quiet at this time, each one lost in thought, staring at the equipment on her body.

 After receiving the confirmation, Vilia pulled Tina down with the armor belt.

Tina skillfully took off her armor and continued: "The most important thing is that this is a very powerful support for the runes. In the past, we always thought that the runes were useless, but we used them improperly and failed to discover its inner meaning. Format and various combinations. Whether it’s dragon language or runes, only words that can be used by the Yao people are truly useful tools!”

There was a moment of silence.

This is tantamount to directly denying the judgment of the past apostle Long Ji, and criticizing the Yao people's decades of wrong thinking on runes.

 The apostles could not help but fall silent for a while.

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 judgments and inferences of Long Ji, which is a good thing. If there are no new things to replace the old things, then our Yao civilization will really stop moving forward. The right thing, Just keep at it, you’re doing a great job.”

Tina felt a little relieved.

This person can be said to be the oldest among the apostles, except for Miss Isabel, and he is also the person who opened the door to the age of fire and steam 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 over the small house, Tina gently rotated the twisting piece below, aligned the last plastic piece, and then released her hand.

 The house hovers steadily in the air.

“This is a model we made based on the scale of ordinary houses in Yancheng. The plastic sheets are enough to make them levitate in the air, and even create a large number of flying houses in the air.”

“If we can also add [Elemental Magic Well] and [Magic Bottle] to it, then theoretically, we can create a city that has never existed before and will never fall.”

As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar.

The apostles gathered around the floating house and began to discuss it, each with his or her own opinion.

“I believe that the achievements of Yao civilization so far are indispensable to the creations of our ancestors in the past. But now, with the plastic tablets and the expansion of runes, all we need is the supply of magic wells and magic bottles—”

Tina picked up the gray cube in her hand: "We can gain another power to rewrite the world."

 After asking about various details, many apostles have repeatedly verified this, and the results have proved that Tina is not without purpose.

 On the throne, the **** [tyrant] also slowly raised his head.

 “The things you have made are indeed valuable.”

 “If you have any requests, you can make them, and I will try my best to meet any of your needs.”

The tyrant’s voice is cold and leaves no room for doubt.

Tina looked at the young assistant next to her and knelt down on one knee: "Lord God, Vilia's mother is deeply troubled by illness. Can you restore her health..."

The tyrant was about to say something when suddenly he stood up slowly, raised his head and looked up: "It seems that I don't need to bother you anymore."

 He bowed slightly into the air.

Tina felt a vast power enveloping herself.

The tyrants all stood up and bowed... It's 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.

The noble and cold-faced [Sekhmet] appeared, and his voice was as clear and penetrating as the rumors.

"No need to worry, your mother's heart problem has recovered, but she still needs more rest."

Vilia was so excited that she kowtowed vigorously: "Thank you, the great God Yao...Thank you, the goddess, thank you, the tyrant!"

Tina was immediately relieved.

 Yao Shen actually came forward, then everything would be no problem.

She looked at the apostles who were blushing and their voices were getting louder than the last, and suddenly felt like laughing.

There are also various problems in the Yao civilization today. There are many hypocritical and annoying campers, elites from all walks of life who pretend to be more than they are, shameless people who are buzzing like flies and are complacent, and endless Endless systematic comparison and a sense of superiority...these are objective facts.

 But here, as long as you keep moving forward, you will surely reach a higher place and closer to the sun.

 The closer you get to the top of the mountain where Master Yao Shen is, the more and further scenery you can see.

Want to see the apostles scolding each other and glaring at each other's necks?

Then let’s move forward.
