Christie looked at Ge Sheng's slightly shy expression and couldn't help but smile again, and then stretched out a hand towards the boy.
"Pull me up."
Ge Sheng hesitated for a moment before reaching out to grab Christie, and then forcefully pulled her up from the blanket on the dead leaves. Christie got up, stretched easily in the open space, and then rubbed her nose.
"Are you ready?"
"boy."
Ge Sheng didn't know what to prepare, but Christie didn't give him time to think.
She casually stretched out a finger and tapped it lightly on the open space covered with fallen leaves in front of her.
Rising without wind.
Ge Sheng stared blankly at the countless fallen leaves spiraling up and then dispersed in an orderly manner. Almost instantly, a large, clean open space of dirt appeared in front of Christie.
this.
Ge Sheng was a little crazy.
"You said you are only level nine?"
Creation comes into being when the mind comes to mind. This kind of handwriting is the standard of the heaven realm. Even if there is no realm to manifest, Ge Sheng almost has to believe that Christie is a strong man in the heaven realm who has hidden deep.
"Yes." Christie nodded and admitted, at the same time, she stretched out her finger and pressed down hard.
In front of Ge Sheng, the originally soft and moist soil immediately began to slowly turn gray, dry, and harden until it was as solid as a rock.
"Then what's going on!" Ge Sheng pointed to the three-foot-square rough stone floor that was cleaned up by her and turned into stone ground with a single press. He was almost intolerable.
The other party was simply provoking his basic common sense about magic.
"I have to explain to you that the magic knowledge you have is full of mistakes." Christie said lightly: "I am indeed only level nine, but it does not prevent me from using external objects to achieve these things."
"And." Christie turned around and gave Ge Sheng a calm look: "Instead of caring about my power that you can't explain with common sense, you should do your job well."
"In the following time, you have to ensure that nothing larger than a hummingbird can invade this workbench of mine. Likewise, you cannot walk in here, no matter what happens to me inside. Of course, if you feel bored , I can chat with you and maybe tell you some interesting things."
Saying this, Christie walked into the open space that she had just hardened into rough gray stone, and looked back at Ge Sheng: "Can it be done?"
"The workbench you mentioned." Ge Sheng hesitated and looked at the stone ground under her feet: "It refers to this open space."
"Yes." Christie replied briefly: "Next, I need to ensure that I will not be disturbed, specifically physical disturbance. I can ignore the impact of sound and light."
After Christie answered Ge Sheng's question, she looked at the boy again: "Is that okay?"
Ge Sheng took a deep breath, opened his left hand, and the golden Zhuiyan slowly emerged from the palm of his hand.
"OK."
He solemnly promised Christie.
"wrong."
Unexpectedly, Christie suddenly reached out and shouted to stop. She turned her head and thought carefully: "I feel like I have missed something. Can you help me remember it?"
Ge Sheng was confused, and he looked at Christie with both hands closed, but he saw the other person covered his mouth and suddenly laughed out loud.
"You idiot, are you really not hungry?"
Ge Sheng checked his body carefully, then shook his head seriously. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but silently look at the girl in the stone circle.
There is a ghost.
He had dinner with Christie at the Palace of Black and White at noon before falling into the space corridor on his way back, and finally escaped from danger and came here. The time in the space corridor was not clear, and he could not even recall the time in the space corridor at this time. I only have a rough memory of the specific details.
After that, he was injured and fell into a coma after escaping. When he woke up and looked at the sky, it was still noon. However, it was naturally impossible to have a seamless connection. The time from the space corridor to the time when he was injured and comatose and then woke up was no more than half an hour. So reasonable. The explanation is that the island at this time is not at the same longitude as Ye Ye City, and there is even a considerable difference. However, the specific numerical values and geographical knowledge in this area are not Ge Sheng's specialty. Christie must know it, but Ge Sheng There is no need to ask about this in detail.
After that, Christie performed non-stop surgery on himself to remove the carrion and treat the wound, and made himself take medicine to complete the repair of his body while he was in a coma. When he woke up again, it was close to midnight. After he woke up, Christie fell asleep. He had no choice but to Wait for her until dawn.
Then here comes the problem.
This was at least half a day and a night or even longer without eating, so why did Ge Sheng not feel hungry at all.
Christie looked at Ge Sheng staring at her and finally shook her head helplessly: "Yes, the medicine I gave you closed the five senses. Even now, it is still in effect, so you have only regained basic body control, but you are very slow to feel pain. , things like hunger are directly blocked. Although normally humans will not necessarily starve to death if they don’t eat for three days, let alone a disciple of Xia like you, but to be on the safe side, I suggest you eat something. .”
Ge Sheng is really full of black lines now.
Christie is completely beyond his ability to control.
Ge Sheng didn't know how many times his knowledge had been refreshed by this guy.
Just thinking about this, Christie once again stretched out her hand to her labia. When she took it out, there was another pile of candy. She stretched out her hand to Ge Sheng: "Time is tight and the conditions here are limited. I will do it." I don’t make anything for you to eat, so it’s better to eat candy. The first green piece can be understood as the antidote to that piece of ecstasy. After eating it, you will feel hungry, but you are only hungry for a day and a night, so It’s not too intense, there’s a bit of a regretful feeling in it.”
"For the remaining five white pieces, you eat the first piece first, and then eat the second piece when you feel hungry, and so on. It is enough to sustain three days of dry food. If I haven't finished it after three days, then I'm afraid We never get the chance to finish.”
Christie spoke slightly faster but calmly.
Ge Sheng took it. He followed the doctor's instructions and peeled off the first piece of green icing. Inside was a slightly green ball. Ge Sheng, who had already convinced Christie, no longer worried about whether it was poisonous, put it in his mouth.
Bland and tasteless.
However, at the second moment, a strong sour taste flooded Ge Sheng's mouth.
It is an extremely sour taste, just like the juice of newly red green plums blended with aged raw vinegar. Generally speaking, when the human taste is exposed to an extremely sour taste, it will It is closer to being summed up in the category of suffering.
However, this candy was different. It was absolutely sour, crazily stimulating every cell in Ge Sheng's mouth and every taste bud on his tongue. Even though Ge Sheng had already been mentally prepared for its strange taste, such a terrifying taste was still... Ge Sheng could only hold on for three snaps of his fingers before he couldn't hold on any longer and stretched out his hand to spit out the candy.
Christie watched Ge Sheng's reaction with a smile. Seeing that he only lasted five seconds, she couldn't help but feel even more happy.
"Are you hungry now? Classmate Ge Sheng."
Yes, when the sour taste spread in his mouth, it was as if a switch in his body was slowly turned on, and the raging hunger instantly devoured Ge Sheng.
Ge Sheng glanced at Christie with a wry smile, and then obediently put the white candy into his mouth.
I don’t know why, but Christie seems to have a special liking for candy as a carrier, although what she calls candy is closer to hard pills with great taste in terms of function and shape.
Unlike before, this white candy didn't have any weird taste in the mouth. It was slightly sweet, a bit like jasmine nectar, but it didn't disintegrate and explode instantly, and it didn't have an extreme taste like the appetizing candy.
The saliva melted the surface of the candy, and the syrup and saliva slid into the esophagus. Ge Sheng suddenly found that the hunger that was close to burning in his stomach gradually calmed down.
He held the candy in his mouth and looked at the girl, hoping that she would be compassionate and give an explanation.
If such a portable and efficient food could be used as military ration, what an incredible and great creation it would be.
As long as there are no special side effects.
"I'm sorry." Christie looked at Ge Sheng's expectations and shook his head lightly: "All my products are difficult to mass-produce. Under the premise of cooperation at the four major chambers of commerce at all costs, we still can't do it. If we improve the process, , if we improve them from the alchemy workshop method to the workshop method, there may be a slight chance, but my time is precious, and I can’t spend a lot of money on the by-products of a little research.”
"And I need to remind you." Christie's eyes were gentle: "The cost of all the candies you taste is higher than the equivalent price of gold. In any case, these are products that cannot be popularized."
Christie naturally lowered his hands and no longer looked at Ge Sheng: "If there are no problems, can I start?"
Ge Sheng nodded.
Christie opened her hands, and a clear and shallow light slowly emitted from her body.
In Ge Sheng's opinion, it was more like someone opening the door of space in front of him.
But the subtle fluctuations are as smooth as a pointing finger opening a window lattice.
A silver-white metal object was slowly "pulled" out of Christie's body. The moment the cube left Christie's body, it had a "stretched" feeling visible to the naked eye, and then it lay flat on the ground. , it is boxy, has a metallic luster, and is equipped with devices similar to calipers and knives.
This was the first one. Later, more and more creations were "pulled out" from Christie's body. Most of them were silver-white metal creations, completely surrounding Christie.
Ge Sheng was dazzled.
Those various instruments and workbenches surrounded the seventeen-year-old Queen, as if they were the Queen's most reliable bodyguards.
Christie has begun to work like no one else.
She was in this clearing that she had simply made, surrounded by rainforest and dead leaves that had been deposited for thousands of years, but she was still focused as if she were in her own alchemy workshop.
Ge Sheng watched her constantly "pull out" different metal ingots from her body, smelting, shaping, processing, and making exquisite and hard parts one by one. He realized what kind of help the so-called ninth-level magician had provided her. .
All processes are running nearly automatically.
While Christie completes the work at hand closely and efficiently, she always leaves about one-third of the way through to complete the next work, while the process she has shelved is still running slowly and accurately. The analogy goes from piece to piece until there are more than five processes working quietly without human control.
Ge Sheng first understood why Christie didn't need his help at all.
Because Ge Sheng couldn't help at all.
Without professional training and corresponding knowledge, Ge Sheng could not even complete the processing of one component on his own, not to mention dozens of components involving different fields. If Ge Sheng were to take over, it might only add to the chaos.
Later, Ge Sheng understood why Christie said that none of her creations could be mass-produced.
Because those creations can only be completed under Christie's hands!
With such precise and orderly control, one person can complete all the work of a project and experiment. This is something that others would dare not even think about, but under Christie's hands, it has become a burden for any assistant. degree.
She is the core of everything. Without her, those seemingly sophisticated and science-fiction creations are just a pile of scrap metal.
When she started working, all the instruments in the entire studio were connected to her breath, and her magic tentacles were linked to every instrument. Even if she left temporarily, her spirit still controlled the continued operation of the instruments.
What a huge amount of mental power and control this is.
Ge Sheng always thought that he got to know the girl in front of him again, but he found that what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg.
Ge Sheng also realized what Christie was doing now.
She is climbing a technology tree.
Yes, it is a technology tree that can only be developed step by step and cannot be encouraged.
Just like humans always master the smelting of bronze, which requires lower temperatures and easier raw materials, only then can they accumulate and master enough experience and knowledge to gradually complete the more difficult smelting of iron tools. If you want to cast a big ship, you must first open a canoe. and raft technology points.
This is especially true for the teleportation array.
Ge Sheng believes that Christie cannot complete the construction of the teleportation array alone. The most important reason is that it involves the crystallization of several important magical achievements of mankind.
In the simplest terms, if you want to make a component, first of all, you need its raw materials, which are smelted and purified metals. If not, then you must obtain its ore. If the ore of this metal is buried deep underground, , then you must have sufficient mine craftsmanship. Indispensable for these crafts are a large number of metal tools, necessary support structures, facilities and transportation networks for mine drainage.
But even if you finally complete all this, you will find that you have just obtained a small piece of metal to make parts, and you still need an entire workbench.
At this time, you will find that you originally only wanted to get a very simple product, but you find that if you trace the source, you must first have a more complex and sophisticated set of facilities. And when you dismantle those facilities, you face more intertwined difficulties.
This means that in today's world, any seemingly insignificant human creation is actually the product of the cooperation of countless people. One person cannot challenge a group.
However, this seemingly absolutely correct truth was shaken by Christie alone.
She is not only challenging, but also surpassing the technological tree created by the entire human group.
