Chapter 7 The Birth of the Humanoid Calculator

With the increase in food and sugar prices in the past two weeks, the business of Zhangjiami Brewing Shop has indeed become much lighter. Maybe a few copper coins and a few silver coins will not make any difference to the rich, but for many people with income For those at the bottom of the society, a slight price change becomes a huge pressure to survive when they are passed on to them. They are also more sensitive to prices. A bowl of rice brewed by the Zhang family, even if it only adds one copper plate, But for some people, this copper plate represents a 20% price increase, which is difficult to accept.

Looking at the Chinese woman in front of him who was so determined to drag the slobbering child away from the rice brewing shop, Zhang Tie could only smile helplessly. This little guy used to come to eat often, but now, with the increase in the price of rice brewing Rising, his mother had no choice but to drag him away. For these ordinary people in small households, the rise in food prices will of course not only affect the price of a bowl of rice, but also increase the entire cost of living. The price of food is high, so why doesn't the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt rise accordingly? I heard that the price of coal in Heiyan City has also started to increase in the past two days. The most obvious thing is that those who deliver coal balls have increased by five copper coins per car. Naturally, it will also rise accordingly. Although the current price increase is still very small, it is not a good sign for many ordinary people.

Zhang’s modified ugly tricycle was borrowed by a neighbor early this morning, saying to buy some food. In the past two days, several families have borrowed it, and they all borrowed it to haul things. The sister-in-law went to the hospital this morning. The sister-in-law said she was not feeling well, and the mother became nervous. After getting up this morning, the two left. Then Zhang Tie was alone at home, looking at the rice brewing shop, chasing flies with a fan in the shop bored.

Zhang Tieren was in the rice brewing shop, but he was a little absent-minded, because at the moment his whole mind was concentrated in his own mind. At this moment, some interesting things were happening in Zhang Tie's mind...

The change brought about by the seven-fold increase in mental power is causing earth-shaking changes in the "Abacus Mind" that he has been studying for two weeks. Before yesterday, Zhang Tie had to visualize an abacus with three gears in his mind It will take a long time, not to mention that the abacus visualized is not stable, and the speed of mental calculation with any abacus is not very fast. The morning completely changed.

At this moment, in Zhang Tie's mind, a golden abacus with seven gears was steadily hovering in Zhang Tie's sea of ​​consciousness. The number beads on the abacus were flipping up and down automatically without hands, outputting Calculate the values ​​one by one.

How much is 36 times 98... 3528!

What is 1269 plus 9621... 10890!

How much is 362 times 125... 45250!

What is 639 divided by 12... 53.25!

What is 98564 divided by 125... 788.512!

...

At the beginning, Zhang Tie had to type the formulas to get the result, but in the end, as long as Zhang Tie saw the topic, his heart moved, those formulas flashed in his heart, the abacus had already calculated the results, and he practiced again. After a while, Zhang Tie found that he didn't even need to recite the formulas silently. Often when he saw the topic, the result would have already come out, too fast. After two years of abacus, Zhang Tie finally discovered the Chinese The power of this ancient calculation tool, Zhang Tie does not know where the book "Bacus Mind and Magic" is written, which is a recommended extracurricular reading for elementary school students, but purely in terms of the strength and quality of mental power, Zhang Tie does not believe in this world. There is no elementary school student who will be stronger than me now. Maybe my mental power was similar to that of a primary school student before, but now my spiritual power has reached seven times after merging with that glorious fruit, which is really too strong some. And after using seven times the mental power to push Zhuxin Shensuan,

The powerful side of Zhu Xin Shen Suan began to be fully displayed. Zhang Tie only took a look at any addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within seven digits. Zhang Tie found that it was easy to stabilize after the abacus was visualized. In the process, he even sold a few bowls of rice brew and made a few small businesses, but it didn't affect him at all...

My current calculation speed should be faster than those hand-cranked metal calculators in exchanges and commercial firms! Zhang Tie thought happily, but he didn't expect that the first benefit brought to him after the seven-fold increase in mental power would be to let Zhu Xin Shen Suan reach this level overnight. If he goes to the grocery store now, he must It can scare that fellow Tang De.

Because this bead-mind calculation is so easy to use, and it feels so magical and suitable, a very bold and even absurd idea popped up in Zhang Tie's mind—or, in the long time before the abacus was invented, the abacus was originally That's how it is used, as long as you visualize it in your mind, people in that era had very strong spiritual power, so they could easily use this calculation tool in their minds, but later people's mental power didn't know anything After the reason has declined, it is no longer difficult to realize this kind of calculation in the mind. Only then did someone make a real abacus and start to operate it by hand. Then at a certain point, I don’t know if it was hundreds or thousands of years Later, when everyone got used to operating the abacus with their hands, suddenly another guy had a flash of inspiration and felt that this thing could be visualized in his mind and operated with pure spirit and consciousness, so he invented the abacus. Divine calculation, unintentionally restored the real method of using this calculation tool...

If this is the case, wouldn't I be the only one who really mastered this magical computing tool now? I don't know if it is possible for this magical computing tool to evolve into a higher level of ability. It seems that guy Tang De I have said that in the magical east, there are some powerful professions, such as the mysterious fortune-teller who has a more magical calculation tool called "Yi". The calculation tool does not calculate numbers, but the good and bad fortune and the evolution of all things in the world, will there be any relationship between the two?

Just as Zhang Tie was thinking wildly, his mother and sister-in-law came back. Zhang Tie quickly dismissed the abacus in his sea of ​​knowledge, and then rushed up and asked with concern, "Mom, what's the matter with sister-in-law!"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Zhang Tie realized that the question was a bit silly, as if he was a bit awkward, the sister-in-law blushed slightly, and the mother stared at Zhang Tie's head fiercely, "It's about your size, Hurry up and cook..."

...

In the afternoon, as usual, Zhang Tie helped his mother make rice brew at home, and with the addition of his sister-in-law, the job was relatively easier. After lunch, the neighbor returned the borrowed tricycle, and Zhang Tie rode the tricycle down to buy rice and sugar. As expected, the prices of these two things rose a bit, because last week the family’s rice brewing business Not very good, this time I only bought two bags of rice. When I got home, my mother was teaching my sister-in-law how to make yeast liquid.

"This yeast liquid is very important. Whether the final taste of the rice brew is good or not depends entirely on it. Our Zhang family's yeast is all made by ourselves. These spare jars for yeast must be burnt before use. Scald it with boiling water, then shake it with boiling water and let it cool down for later use. Generally, there are two cans at home, one is in use, and the other is in the process of fermentation. Just make one can and wait until it is almost used. When the time comes, add water to it, put some chopped fruits, peels, cores and the like into it, open the lid and shake it every day to let the inside ventilate, usually about a week, a new can of yeast liquid It's ready, put two spoons of fermented yeast liquid in each can of rice brewing before sealing it, you can taste it, these yeast liquids are delicious, Zhang Tie used to come to steal them..."

Zhang Tie has been familiar with these contents for a long time, and he didn't care at first, especially when his mother was teaching her while exposing her shortcomings, which made Zhang Tie lose face, but I don't know why, listening to my mother talking about it today With these things, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across Zhang Tie's mind, and a thought suddenly appeared in Zhang Tie's mind...

Yeast - rice brewing -

The mutated and evolved yeast——the mutated and evolved rice brew—?

Zhang Tie remembered that there was a special option in the Black Iron Castle that could promote the evolution of all creatures. When he entered the Black Iron Castle for the first time, he tried it out and played with a sprouted potato in a pit. He didn’t receive any results for a few days, so Zhang Tie forgot about it. Today, when he saw his mother teaching his sister-in-law how to make yeast liquid, Zhang Tie suddenly had an idea—if he could make it If the yeast used to make rice brewing at home evolves or mutates to produce a new yeast liquid, will the taste of the rice brewing produced be better? If so, it can be regarded as opening up a market for the rice brewing business at home.

Zhang Tie thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method should be feasible. At least he could try it. The Zhang family had used the old method to make rice brew for ten or twenty years, so it wouldn't matter if they tried a new one. Even if you fail, you won't lose a few hairs!

Thinking of this, Zhang Tie became excited, and in the evening, while his mother was not paying attention, he found a clean glass bottle in the kitchen, quietly filled half a bottle of yeast liquid, and took it to his attic hut. Quickly came to the Castle of Black Iron, opened the "Microorganisms" management panel of "Carbon-based organisms and species management" under "Organisms and Species Management", and after selecting the bottle of yeast liquid, invested 300 aura points at a time , 5 merit points and 0.1 basic energy reserves go in, and start trying to carry out the first mutation and evolution process of yeast.
