Chapter 951 Equipment Upgrade

Rebecca Levishing hurriedly went with Tang Qunying to buy new year's goods.

The journey was long, and neither Jiang Jian nor Tang Qunying, nor any of the new public officials who joined Lubin Mansion, returned to their hometown.

"Xitao, New Year's Eve is a grand event. Appetizers, soups, side dishes, main dishes, fruits and vegetables, and desserts all come with salty side dishes, okay?"

Tang Qunying shook his head: "The Spring Festival evolved from the ancient sacrifices to pray for the good year at the beginning of the year. Eating, wearing, wearing, using, affixing, and welcoming people are collectively called New Year's goods. The Taiping New Year also depends on the sky for food, you and me. Na, Lord Magistrate, cooking six dishes to make a meal of dumplings is enough, and the remaining money will be spent on other things. You should not be extravagant, and you should not follow the Western method, otherwise it will be self-defeating and hurt your sweetheart."

Rebecca Levi immediately became nervous: "Xitao, you still make the decision, I'll pay for it."

Tang Qunying rolled his eyes.

Two women, wrapped in thick cotton-padded jackets, were walking in the bustling streets of Lubin Mansion, while carriages and their drivers were waiting outside to load their goods.

Lubin Mansion is really lively this year.

Since the Qing army entered the country and made the capital the capital, Manchus and Han people have lived together, and economic and cultural exchanges have closely influenced each other.

The customs of the Han people were absorbed by the Manchu people, and the Spring Festival became a common custom between the Han and Manchu people.

Tang Qunying took Rebecca Levi to buy rice cakes and fire spoons first, saying they would use them when they enshrined the ancestral tablets.

And purchase some rosin candles.

Beef, sheep, chicken, fish, deer and pork, of which deer and pig are game.

Yogurt wine, Shaoguo, tea cakes, sugar balls, shredded tobacco...

Rebecca Levi was attracted by the peach wood carvings of door gods such as Shen Tu, Yu Lei, Qin Shubao, Yuchi Jingde, Fulu, and Banzi, and she couldn't bear to leave for a while.

Later I saw all kinds of Spring Festival couplets and wanted to buy them randomly.

Tang Qunying hurriedly stopped him: "These are Manchu Spring Festival couplets you are looking at. The custom of Spring Festival couplets was passed down to the Manchus from the Han people. The Han people wrote on red paper, while the Manchus used white paper. Influenced by the Han people, the Manchus also began to think that the color white was unlucky. A circle of white paper Spring Festival couplets is decorated with blue and red edges. As for us, we naturally want to buy all-red ones.”

Rebecca Levy had a sudden realization.

She still had a lot to learn.

As for the wooden horses, balalaikas, flutes, huqins, grimace masks, single ropes, stilts, wheelbarrows, etc. in the market, they are all needed by the local Mongolian people for their Spring Festival celebrations.

The Han people call it Spring Festival, while the Banner people call it New Year's Day.

It is different from New Year's Day, which was held on January 1 in the Western calendar in later generations.

The two girls wandered around in the market for a whole day, picking here and there, shopping around, and finally managed to get together the needed New Year goods.

I went home to unload the goods and went into the house to see that Zhao Chuanxin had not returned yet.

Rebecca Levi suddenly panicked: "The Spring Festival is around the corner and he still hasn't come back. Why do you want to know, Xi Tao?"

"If you can relax your mind, he might come back." Tang Qunying said helplessly.

"Xitao's words make sense." Rebecca Levi nodded with deep understanding, and then continued to worry about it: "Why hasn't he come back yet?"

Tang Qunying: "..."

I'm afraid the devil is stunned.

…

Zhao Chuanxin was at the white house in Kuitsalan at this time.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon in Qutsalam, the surroundings of the white house were extremely quiet.

Zhao Chuanxin and Xingyue now need a quiet and undisturbed environment.

Light a lamp in the yard and a lamp in the house.

It seemed like there was only one house with lights on in the whole town.

When Villa Galvez got up at night, he saw a dim and flickering light like a will-o'-the-wisp in the distance at the white house, and couldn't help but shudder.

In the past few days, he could see the lights on in that house every night. During the day, the door was locked and the windows were tightly blocked by curtains.

Are you afraid it's not haunted?

He pulled up his pants with a guilty conscience, looked at the bright stars in the night sky, finally dispelled the chill in his heart, and hurriedly turned back to the house.

In the white house, Xingyue controlled the black puppet craftsman to grind the true seeing crystal lens for several days.

In the past few days, Zhao Chuanxin has not refreshed the "Old God Code".

Apart from eating, drinking and sleeping, he spent every day accompanying Xingyue to create "new eyes".

Each piece of true seeing crystal is first cut into a roughly circular shape, and then the surface is ground with an elf carving knife to make the spherical curvature radius of the lens meet the requirements.

The surface of the lens is then ground and polished with shaped diamond grinding, and then carefully polished with silk fabrics of various meshes to make it highly smooth and translucent.

This will create a basic lens.

The new eyes Xingyue wants to make are equivalent to optical lenses and require multiple sets of lenses.

These lenses need to fit snugly into the lens barrel, and since there is no suitable plastic with a low coefficient of thermal expansion, the lens barrel has to be made of stainless steel.

The inner and outer diameters of the lenses need to meet the assembly requirements, and the lens barrel is integrally molded and wrapped.

The edges of the lenses need to be coated with ink to reduce reflections and stray light from the inner surface of the lenses.

These processes are complex and delicate.

Xingyue's true-seeing crystal eyes could not achieve microscopic effects, and the ground lenses could not meet the parameter requirements, so they had to make do with it at first.

After fitting the new eye, use the new eye for more fine polishing.

True seeing crystals inherently have imaging effects, both far and near. After high-precision grinding, the microscopic effect is outstanding, surpassing all contemporary microscopes.

This cycle continues until Xingyue is satisfied.

With a high-precision adjustable focus microscope as his eyes, Xingyue first transformed and upgraded the central control rune fragments in the puppet slave's body.

The central control rune fragment is the computing and control core of the puppet and the final unit for information processing and command execution.

Xingyue upgraded the puppet slave with the central control rune fragments, replaced the original low-grade micro-processing silk with finer high-grade processing silk, and ground the gem inlays to be finer. Not only did it integrate the calculation path and the control path into the same baseboard, but the instruction system was initially improved.

Xingyue called it - superscalar silk flow structure.

The central control rune fragments of the same size can already control the parallel movement trajectory of all silks in the puppet slave.

With this transformation and upgrade, the movement accuracy of the puppet slave is comparable to that of the black puppet craftsman.

At this time, Xingyue manipulated the puppet slave to disassemble the black puppet craftsman, and used the microscope to create a new central control rune fragment and install it in the black puppet craftsman.

After the black puppet craftsman completed the upgrade, he manipulated the black puppet craftsman to grind the true vision crystal lens with higher accuracy.

The process is extremely cumbersome and requires a lot of patience.

After the black puppet craftsman installed a more advanced true vision crystal lens set, the puppet slave and the black puppet craftsman were upgraded to each other.

Repeatedly, until there was no room for upgrade.

Xingyue upgraded the processing architecture of the central control rune fragment from 8 filaments to 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and finally 512.

At this time, the black puppet craftsman can process action tasks with multiple cores and high parallelism.

Then Xingyue began to transform Zhao Chuanxin's soft gold armor.

First upgrade the central control rune fragment, and then update the filament power system.

In the past, Xingyue's "metal" was very sloppy, but the soft gold armor shell parts he rebuilt were of moderate thickness, every inch of the joints was precise, and the sealing material fit was super high.

In the deep sea, under the high pressure of seawater, even a trace of water vapor is considered unqualified.

After evolving his eyes, Xingyue "saw" the subtle differences between black and white soft gold.

Black soft gold has a higher protection effect and higher density, but its flexibility is a little worse.

Therefore, black is used as the base material.

White soft gold has a slightly worse protective effect, but it is highly flexible and can easily stretch and deform after being stressed and then rebound. Therefore, Xingyue connected strips of white soft gold with black soft gold on the shoulder blades, inner and outer sides of the arms, elbows, wrists, hips, inner and outer sides of the thighs.

If the armor is hit by a bullet, the white soft gold is equivalent to shock absorption. It reduces weight, increases the protective effect, and achieves the purpose of shock absorption and damage prevention.

From the appearance, the new soft gold armor is equivalent to black as the main color, with more regular white lines.

Don't say it, really don't say it, the modified soft gold armor looks very cool.

Xingyue told Zhao Chuanxin: "Now, your armor has surpassed the old emperor's chaos armor in performance, so this armor is qualified to be called - Chaos Armor."

Before Zhao Chuanxin tested the performance of the Chaos Armor, he continued to transform the Eight-edged Light Sword with Xingyue.

Zhao Chuanxin and Xingyue tried several metal forging methods and alloys in succession, but none of them were enough to crush the puppet soldier's light sword base.

Zhao Chuanxin's Chaos Armor has improved performance, but the power improvement is limited.

He needs to break the force with cleverness.

The best way is to truly "cut iron like mud".

Not only the strength of the light blade is enhanced, but the strength of the base material must also exceed that of the light blade. The combination of the two can easily fight against the pure light blade of the old emperor.

Finally, unable to choose the best material, Xingyue suggested: "Maybe we should try to add the light blade rune to your elf carving knife."

"Uh..." Zhao Chuanxin was reluctant.

The elf carving knife can not only be used in war, but also as a life assistant. Zhao Chuanxin really doesn't want to take risks with it.

Xingyue persuaded: "Even if it fails, it will not damage the elf carving knife."

"What if you break it for me?" Zhao Chuanxin asked hesitantly.

Xingyue said calmly: "Then pretend I didn't say this."

"..."

When did Xingyue start to learn bad things?

Lao Zhao is the kind of person who will not believe you the more you swear.

On the contrary, he wants to try.

A model of not being led away and being beaten back.

Xingyue made a long hilt to accommodate the entire contracted elf carving knife.

Inside it are hidden worm silk and light blade rune fragments, plus simple central control rune fragments and energy gems.

In the first test, the extended elf carving knife cut off all the worm silk - failed.

Xingyue silently calculated and rejected countless plans.

Seeing that Xingyue was at a loss, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly said: "At the beginning, Nikola Tesla believed that Edison's direct current model was inefficient. Due to voltage limitations, direct current can only be transmitted from the generator to the user for more than 3 kilometers, and a large number of power stations are needed to provide electricity. So he proposed to use alternating current, which switches direction 60 times per second, so that it can span longer distances with minimal power loss. When I saw that the old emperor could now launch light blades over long distances, I suddenly thought of alternating current. Why don't you try this idea?"

Xingyue immediately tried to use the central control rune fragment to change the direction of the light blade rune fragment.

Tsk...

A light blade drilled out and shot a hole in the rocky ground.

Zhao Chuanxin retreated in shock.

If this cuts his foot, everyone may call him Zhao Lame in the future.

Xingyue began to upgrade the central control rune fragment, changing the simple 16-thread filament processing architecture to 32.

Switch the light blade rune fragment to stimulate the oscillation frequency, from 30 times per second to 60 times per second.

The light blade emitted by the handle was shorter, shooting a hole in the window glass of the white house, and the light blade hit a mesquite tree thirty meters away and disappeared.

Xingyue said: "It's really short and long."

Zhao Chuanxin asked: "Can it be thicker and longer?"

Xingyue: "That's impossible, absolutely impossible."

Xingyue changed the vibration from 60 times to 20 times, and a long light blade shot out, slowly and with a very short range, and disappeared three meters away.

Xingyue said: "Although it is long, it disappears very quickly."

Zhao Chuanxin shook his head and sighed: "It won't last long."

The stars and moon will vibrate from 20 times to 10 times.

A light blade ejected from the handle without any carrier, and actually extended about one and a half meters in front of the handle without scattering.

Zhao Chuanxin breathed quickly.

Xingyue said: "When the vibration frequency is high, the range is increased, the power is small, and the energy consumption is large. The vibration frequency is low, the range is short, the power is high, and the energy consumption is low. You are right, Nikola Tesla is indeed a genius. "

Xingyue upgraded the light blade rune fragments, reduced the size and increased performance, and then frantically installed 24 light blade rune fragments in the limited space of the sword hilt.

He manipulated the central control rune fragment to activate the sword hilt.

no response.

Zhao Chuanxin frowned: "Failed?"

Xingyue said: "No, it costs more gems."

He installed six gems at the same time in the hilt of the sword.

laugh……

24 light blades popped out at the same time, condensing into a lightsaber composed of pure light blades without any base material.

The black puppet craftsman handed the lightsaber to Zhao Chuanxin. Zhao Chuanxin waved the sword hilt and cut the window diagonally as if it were nothing, but the glass did not fall apart.

After putting away the light blade, the black puppet craftsman took the hilt of the sword, and Xingyue rearranged the light blade rune fragments.

The spine of the sword and the blade of the sword are densely packed, and the rest of the sword is even hollowed out.

He handed the hilt of the sword to Zhao Chuanxin: "Let's try again now?"

This time the chopping of the window is smoother and the cut lines are more delicate.

Zhao Chuanxin recalled the details of the battle with the puppet soldier and frowned: "It's really amazing to have no base. But have you ever thought about it, when the puppet soldier's light sword strikes at me, I use my lightsaber to block it, if the opponent's light sword cuts If you open my light blade, won’t I be facing the light blade without defense?”

"Absolutely impossible." Xingyue said confidently: "Although the old emperor controlled the light blade rune, he did not realize the potential of the rune. The world's thinking in the "Old God Code" is different from that of the earth, and they went astray. Look. The upgraded eyes of the old emperor and the puppet soldiers knew that the direction of their evolution was the breadth of vision, not focusing. The true-sight crystal craftsman collected by the old emperor and the new one should have ground the lenses, but he did not understand the lens combination and used a different lens. A lens is just a magnifying glass at best.”

Zhao Chuanxin recalled that the old emperor fired a light blade with a single range, power and length.

Obviously, the old emperor only accidentally mastered the vibration frequency of a certain light blade and did not even understand the principle.

And he and Xingyue completely mastered the secret of the light blade based on Nikola Tesla's ideas.

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin was really worried, Xingyue installed 32 light blade rune fragments and eight energy gems on the hilt of the sword.

The cost of making a lightsaber was astonishing, almost wiping out Zhao Chuanxin's family fortune.

Xingyue incorporated the elf carving knife into the back end of the sword hilt.

The lightsaber can be ejected from the front, and the elf carving knife can be ejected from the back, making it dual-purpose.

Zhao Chuanxin said very loyally: "This time I will let you name this new sword."

Xingyue was not polite: "Let me name it. The name of the sword is Spring Light."

Spring Sword, such a naughty name.

Xingyue also adapted the principle of excitation direction oscillation based on the light blade, and used soft gold to make a light blade gun for Zhao Chuanxin. The magazine was not a bullet, but a low-grade azure crystal.

Xingyue said: "This gun can fire a light blade, which is similar to the power of the old Emperor's Light Blade. It has a range of up to 100 meters and is indestructible. It is not affected by the wind direction and is 100% accurate within 100 meters. However, water vapor, dust, and particles in the air will Influence power. A low-level azure crystal can emit 20 light blades."

Zhao Chuanxin looked out the window and saw a stone fifty meters away.

Xingyue provided the crosshair and night vision function on the glasses, and Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand and fired.

laugh……

The glasses shared the view after focusing the black puppet craftsman's telescope. Zhao Chuanxin could clearly see that there was a hole in the depression of the fist-sized stone.

I really mean where to hit.

A low-level blue crystal worth 20,000 gold coins can emit 20 light blades.

The cost of this "bullet" is too high.

Xingyue said: "Take a rest for a while. After dawn, you must master the Wind God Brand and practice wind gliding. Chaos Armor, Spring Light Sword, Light Blade Spear, and Wind Gliding. You have four more trump cards."

When Zhao Chuanxin heard the word "trump card", he thought of the Chaos Predator.

His eyes flashed: "Maybe there can be one more."

He and Xingyue talked about a method of warfare that was not new - fire attack.

They studied until daybreak.

This season in Mexico is the dry season.

The sky is clear every day, the earth is dry, and the vegetation is wilting.

The rainfall in January and February is not expected to exceed 5 mm.

The landlord's sheep were so skinny that the boy herding them, Agure Ida, was scolded for two days and beaten for three days.

He prayed to God countless times, but God was stingy with even one drop of morning dew.

Finding that the garden light of John Constantine's house was still on, he rolled his eyes and went to knock on the door.

The door opened with a creak, and Agure Ida's dirty thin face broke out into a smile: "Sir, your garden lamp is still on. I just came to tell you, otherwise it will be a waste of lamp oil."

He found that John Constantine was full of energy, not like he had just gotten up.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded expressionlessly: "It's okay, my family has the conditions."

"..." Aguire Ida smiled awkwardly: "Sir, you are really rich. Unlike me, I can only chew some mesquite dregs to fill my stomach in the morning."

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and threw a piece of bread over: "In fact, I am as pitiful as you. At this time, I can only eat some big fish and meat, and I can't even eat some fresh fruits and vegetables. You can't eat rice, why don't you eat meat?"

Aguire Ida opened his mouth wide: "..."

Sure enough, meat eaters are despicable, and they can ask why not eat meat?

But his little cleverness finally earned him a large piece of bread, although the bread was very hard.

For the poor, food like bread is not unacceptable.

Aguire Ida happily said goodbye to Zhao Chuanxin and continued on the road with the sheep.

He heard a burst of dog barking and horse hooves.

The sheep were frightened and ran around. Aguirre Ida stuffed a loaf of bread in his mouth and stammered and cursed: "Damn it, who scared my sheep?"

Then he saw a group of people, some on horseback, some on foot, and there were dogs in the team.

The man on horseback, who was leading the group, was carrying a Winchester lever rifle. Although it was old, it was a good weapon imported from the United States.

Aguirre Ida did not dare to curse and drove the sheep out of the way.

"Child, this is Quetshalan, right?" The leading man asked condescendingly.

"Yes, where are you from?" Aguirre Ida saw that the group was all men and felt that they were not friendly.

"My name is Feliciano Carranza, we are from San Buenaventura." The man said in a gentle tone: "We are passers-by and want to find a place to rest."

Aguirre Ida breathed a sigh of relief and pointed in the direction of the white house and said: "There is no hotel in the town, but I see Mr. John Constantine is repairing the house and installing containers. Maybe he wants to open a store. You can try your luck and rest there."

Feliciano Carranza nodded and was about to tighten the reins to let the horse move forward, but suddenly turned to Aguirre Ida and said: "Child, I think you are a good and knowledgeable child. Do you want to make a name for yourself? Or, are you satisfied with your current situation?"
