Chapter 242 New Project
The second Fengshan Market will be open for seven days. If nothing unexpected happens, the seven-day rule should be maintained for each session. It is said that there will be special activities on the last day.
The outer disciples of Mo Shuang Mountain performed instrument making and mechanical engineering, there was a fireworks display, and a small arena for the younger generations to relax and compete with each other. It was said that the winner would receive a prize from Feng Shan Association.
These are all promotional methods, created by Lao Si and Julie, and Jiang Xia was not involved.
Not only did he not participate, he also returned to Fengyang County City on the second day of the market. Lao Si and Wutong have proved that with the help of Ma Tishu, they can properly complete the management of the market.
Old Jiang also needs to delegate power to them.
Otherwise it will be difficult for subordinates to grow quickly.
He also left Ruyue there. With the secretary's current abilities, she would be able to handle any emergencies well.
"Smart guy, come to the study."
After returning to the county town by using the earth-moving disk, Jiang Xia took a bath first. Without Ruyue accompanying him, the bath took a very short time. After changing his clothes, he called out on the communication.
A few minutes later, Gu Miao came to Lao Jiang's study in a sneaky manner.
She rubbed her head from time to time, and it seemed that she was not quite used to the newly implanted chip.
"Have you finished your homework?"
Jiang Xia was not polite either. Facing this clever girl, he spoke with a thunderous tone.
Gu Miao's face suddenly fell.
The naughty kid took out a pair of unfinished gloves from the ring slowly and handed them to Jiang Xia with both hands. The latter took them in his hands, glanced at them, and frowned.
The gloves in his hands were woven from some kind of fiery red silk.
The main part is added with small jade balls that are carved into shape. On each jade ball, there is an engraved first-level ink symbol, seven fire symbols, and two water symbols, forming a miniature "water and fire complement each other" magic circle.
The combination of nine jade autumn pieces can give this magical weapon the ability to isolate heat and control fierce fire.
Gu Miao's knitting skills are quite sophisticated. He follows the manufacturing drawings one by one, intertwining the fine silk threads with each other seventeen times to make the gloves as tough as possible.
The carving and engraving of the small jade ball are also very delicate.
But it was this progress that made Jiang very dissatisfied.
He said with a straight face:
"It has been almost twenty days since we came down the mountain. It's just a Red Cloud Hand, not a very difficult magical weapon, and you haven't even completed the main part!
You are so lazy at such a young age! How can you achieve anything in the future? "
"No, boss."
Gu Miao shook his head, his bun and the red silk tied in his hair swaying back and forth. This "little Nezha" widened his eyes and muttered to himself:
“Although it’s been twenty days, it took me three or four days to fight the evil cultivators with Sister Ruyue. Before that, I followed Mr. Julie around, and later I went to the market to perform a double act to help.
The actual time spent on making the tool is less than seven days. It is already very fast to achieve this progress. Boss, you can't speak against your conscience."
"Um?"
Lao Jiang's eyes turned dangerous.
He stared at Gu Miao and said:
"You still dare to talk back? The first thing for a weapon maker like me is to arrange our time properly. You, kid, have been wild since you were wandering around the West Sea. Now that Ruyue is leading you, you will let loose and let your true self emerge.
He is obviously a talented person, but he doesn't know how to seize the time.
Forget it, I won’t say anything to you. After all, I’m not the type who studies hard.
I know you are not convinced in your heart."
Boss Jiang threw the unfinished Red Cloud Hand on the table, then leisurely took out an equally unfinished sun emblem from his ring and tossed it up and down in the palm of his hand.
Gu Miao's eyes widened.
She looked at the magic weapon embryo tumbling in the air, and knew in her heart that it should be the Fiery Sun Seal magic weapon that her boss promised to give her.
"It will take me about five days to complete the refining of this magic weapon."
Jiang Xia said to Gu Miao slowly:
"That day happened to be the last day of Fengshan Market. If your Red Cloud Hand was not finished by the time I finished the Fiery Sun Seal, I would put the magic weapon I promised to give you at the auction in the market.
You can get it too.
The prerequisite is that you can rob those wealthy Cunzhen monks of a magic weapon. I don't think they will let go of such a good thing, so you don't have to be nervous, Xiao Gu Miao.
As long as you are as rich as I am, you can learn my practice method and you can easily get what belongs to you.
Do you understand? "
"Five days!"
Gu Miao stepped forward and grabbed Hong Yun's hand on the table. She blinked her big eyes and said to the boss:
"It's five days, you can't go back on your word! Whoever goes back on his word is a puppy!"
After saying that, she rushed out of the study excitedly, holding the unfinished magic weapon. Looking at her heroic appearance, it was estimated that she would stay up late to make the weapon in the next few days.
That's right.
Jiang Xia nodded with satisfaction.
Ruyue has spoiled this girl too much. Gu Miao grew up alone. This girl has a wild nature and knows how to read people's expressions. It is impossible for Ruyue to turn her into a gentle and well-behaved girl.
To deal with a naughty kid like Gu Miao, you have to use a more direct approach.
After sending Gu Miao away, Jiang Xia flexed his fingers and continued to process the Fiery Sun Seal embryo at hand. Having already had experience in making it once before, he would naturally be faster the second time.
With the process stored in the chip, Lao Jiang does not have to operate his left arm. He can let the chip control it, just like a robot arm operating itself. Whether it is engraving or gold-touching, each step is extremely precise and fast.
At this rate, Lao Jiang estimated that he would be able to complete the main body of the Flame Seal in less than three days.
But he returned to Liu's house in the county city not just to make the Fiery Sun Seal, he had a more important matter to deal with.
"Mart, are you ready?"
Boss Jiang asked in the chip.
The next moment, the voice of Kunlunfang's weapon master rang out in the communications center:
"The machine tools for the precision machinery laboratory have been built, Boss. They are located in the basement of Liu's weapons workshop. There was originally a cellar there, and it was quite large.
When do we start?
"In the afternoon."
Jiang Xia glanced at the time and said:
"This afternoon, give your apprentices an early holiday. The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, so let them go home and reunite with their families. The weapons workshop will be closed for the next three days.
We have three days to figure it out!"
"Uh... Boss, um, how about the time, let's move it to the evening."
Malte, who is usually very straightforward, spoke haltingly and seemed a little embarrassed.
His answer made Lao Jiang raise his eyebrows and asked:
"What can I do for you?"
"Um...I made an appointment with Julie yesterday."
Malte said somewhat embarrassedly;
"I have to make some time this afternoon to go shopping with her, and maybe have dinner with her... I'm picking out clothes right now."
"Ah, I see."
Old Jiang laughed.
It seems that Julie accepted his advice and found a stepfather with the same culture for her future child. In fact, Malte's honest character is indeed more suitable for Julie than the fourth child.
"Go ahead, go ahead. This is a big deal and we can't delay it."
Jiang Xia smoked a cigarette and said to Malte:
"I'll give you a day off. You must take good care of Julie. She is now at the stage of starting a new life, and I don't want her to go back to her old self.
As for the work in the mechanical laboratory, I'll handle it first. You can come back in a day. It's not particularly urgent."
After agreeing on a time with Malte, Lao Jiang felt quite relaxed.
Julie is now managing the huge Kunlun Square together with the fourth brother. Her mood is very important and directly affects work efficiency. Besides, that woman’s experience was too miserable.
Time passed quickly and it was already afternoon. Jiang Xia followed the schedule, put away the embryo of the Fiery Sun Seal, had a meal in the study, and then came to the closed weapons workshop.
Following the basement of Malte's private workshop and pushing open a secret door, we came to the decorated cellar.
This place has been renovated. Steel plates have been used to reinforce the surroundings and high-powered lights have been installed to make it as bright as day. In the corner are several precision machine tools brought from the wasteland.
There is also a data workbench for operating machine tools, with several boxes stacked on it containing alloys processed by Malte himself. As for power supply, it uses a generator set buried underground in Liu's house.
There are a large number of pre-stored high-energy batteries.
The kind that can also burn coal when necessary.
"Establish new mission project, demand level, medium."
Jiang Xia walked to the workbench, flicked his fingers on it, and the storage ring flashed faintly. Then a wooden box as tall as a person was thrown onto the table with a clanging sound.
He issued new instructions in the chip task manager.
explain:
"Codename: 'Unit-01'. The data system will establish A-42 partition to store data on this project. The authority level will be the highest. The project progress will be shared with Jasmine in real time.
I need her experience working for the Eternal Life Society to help me."
“The new project has been established and data sharing has been completed.”
A voice prompt came from the chip.
Jiang Xia turned on the communication system next to the workbench. After a minute of fine-tuning the data connection, Jasmine's face appeared on the optical projection.
"Hey, Boss, are you going to do another big job?"
The wasteland girl seemed to be in a good mood. Her back seemed to be in Wang Liufu's workshop, with a mess of blueprints and spiritual materials behind her. She picked up the rabbit running around at her feet and said to the boss with a smile:
"Boss, I received your gift. I like it very much. Thank you. But Xirui is a little bit hard to place. I sent it to Master Sanbao's Shangxian Peak.
It's just right for Liu Hui to teach it the rules of being a monster."
"Ciri?"
Lao Jiang, who was opening the wooden box, was stunned for a moment. He asked back:
"Who is that?"
"That big axe head, the one you asked Shimao to send over here, is very smart and intelligent. After it came over, it kept bowing to me, but it couldn't speak.
It's still a tigress. Hehe, I named it Xirui. I wanted to call it Space Tiger, but it felt weird. "
Jasmine said a lot all at once.
This surprised Lao Jiang, and he said to himself :
"I didn't expect you've seen that... It seems that the civilization template of the wasteland is very similar to my hometown. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Take a look at this first."
Jiang Xia flicked his fingers, and the command was issued. The viewing angle of the optical projection changed slightly, allowing Jasmine to see the opened wooden box on the workbench.
There is a "person" inside.
The fully mechanical body and highly bionic structure are exactly the same as a normal person except that it has no head.
Its head is specially placed on the other side.
It was still the same helmet, with a mechanical head with a Y-shaped observation hole, but the black box containing the brain tissue had been taken out and thrown away.
Lao Jiang does not intend to use Emma's crazy "new technology".
In Kumu Realm, he has better alternatives.
"Hey, is this the new combat robot developed by the Eternal Life Society?"
Jasmine carefully observed the structure of the robot and said:
"When I was an apprentice in the Eternal Life Society, I seemed to have seen similar experimental subjects. At that time, they said that this thing was a police type used to maintain urban order."
"I plan to transform it into a Mohist puppet, a combat puppet."
Jiang Xia picked up the robot's cutting sword, put it in his hand and rubbed it with his fingers. He said to Jasmine:
"I need your help with this. Lao Wang is in charge of the market now and can't leave. I need you to go to his workshop and help me find a way to implant the spiritual jade."
"Okay, boss, please wait a moment."
Jasmine quickly entered working mode, the optical projection was turned off, and a few minutes later, a piece of information that was printed out as data was sent to the Jiangxia chip.
Lao Jiang picked up a wrench and looked at the robot in front of him.
He narrowed his eyes and said:
"Come on, baby, you've slept long enough."
"It's time to get up and fight for me!"
