The prisoner and the sea

Chapter 134 Picking up leaks to improve technology, technology depends on picking up garbage

Since it is only equivalent to the fee of an intermediary, Laura's fee is not high, 45 military coins are used as a stepping stone, and then two pieces of 'equipment' that Gwen made from the lair in the wilderness are enough.

But it is not so much 'equipment' as it is rubbish.

If Long Gewen hadn't reminded him to keep the rubbish, I'm afraid he would have thrown it away.

……

Go to Gwen's room.

He opened the thousand-layer box, took out all the wilderness equipment hidden in the bottom layer, and threw it on the floor for Laura to study with Curseblade.

"Oh!" Laura let out a voice of surprise, threw herself on a broken brass pistol, and stared at it with wide eyes.

The origin of these wilderness equipment is very strange.

Some say it came from the abandoned warehouse of the witch, some say that the cat lamps do not succeed in bringing wealth to Utopia every time, and some say that it is the epitome of the power of the hell plane. The normal abandoned items in the room have become these rags.

Many people are buying them though.

Just like Laura is now.

"Obviously, this is the craft of imitating a witch!" Laura said enthusiastically.

When Gwen heard the word 'witch' at first, she was refreshed, and when she heard the word 'imitation' later, she sighed and pouted her lips.

"Is the craftsmanship of imitation worthy of your seriousness?"

"Of course it's worth it. Is this thing mine?" Laura asked holding up the wilderness equipment.

Gwen nodded: "Here, this kind of garbage, as much as you want..."

He hesitated, "...huh, two?"

Curseblade smiled beside him.

"it is good."

After Laura got the answer, she took the brass pistol apart on the spot.A small part was violently pulled out from it, a small part that cannot be ignored.

If you want to say something that won't be ignored-let's say it like this:
The brass pistol is like some kind of crude, stupid factory machine, but this part is a small precision chip, and the manufacturer seems to have carved all Michelangelo's paintings on it.

It is so exquisite that people can recognize it at a glance. It is a high-tech product that is completely different from the shell.

Gwen regretted it a little.

But he himself is a person who is willing to gamble and admit defeat. He didn't ask to be a hooligan, but decided to get some information and clues from Laura.

He and Curseblade quickly went up and down, first letting Sister Laura enjoy a hug from left to right, and then called Cat Lantern to play cards with Sister Laura, coaxing her almost to stay.

Why is Mao Lantern the top companion for playing cards?
First, although these cat lamps are delicious, they are really addictive, and they will not admit defeat.It's not like some players who, when they lose, talk hard and play badly, 'Oh, it's not interesting'.

Second, full of the spirit of trickery, the dish is the dish, but trickery is indispensable.The decks of Mao Lanterns are wild and unconstrained, and once they succeed or fail, there will be amazing programs and effects...

In the end, it's a cat ball, a large group of cat balls will play cards with you, good luck.

After coaxing Laura to be clear, Gwen finally got some information.

It is the internal confidential information belonging to the craftsmen that even the curse blade cannot grasp:

"Wildness equipment, after being collected, most of the time will be sold to artisans to see if they can be recycled. If they are well preserved, after polishing and enchanting with source power, you can get good magic weapons... This is most of them. usage."

Laura rubbed a cat lamp.

Because the cat is engrossed in playing cards, it doesn't even poke its tail.

"And the source of these equipment is what everyone guessed, but most of them have nothing to do with witches. Ancient witches are a very busy race, and many people try to summon devils, summon foreigners... Traveling to parallel time and space, these can be , indicating that our world is not an insulator in the universe. But the Witch didn’t even respond once, so we can assume that the Witch doesn’t care about our ‘small world’.”

Curse Blade frowned when he heard this: "I can understand that we are like... an ant nest? It is for viewing. After the witch built it, she walked away because of some things and didn't pay attention to it, so we returned this ant nest ...comparatively 'abandoned'?"

"Yes."

Laura rubbed the cat's ears and was finally poked by the cat's tail: "Although it's a bit sad to say this, we are indeed abandoned. Whether it's Void Sea or March, they are just doing futile actions Hehe, how could the ancient witch care about ants? On the ancient witch's side, the safety of a cat lamp may be more meaningful than the entire utopia."

Even Curseblade has never heard of such a thing.

The woman gave a thoughtful expression.

Laura smiled slightly: "But don't worry too much, ants also have the way of ants, and we are not the only ant nest. In the entire universe, the number of civilizations that Utopia has contacted so far has exceeded nearly three digits." , In these civilizations, there are also witches' offline civilizations. They will also buy the materials discarded by witches to practice, to manufacture goods, and to use these goods to complete trade... and the wilderness equipment we have seen is this kind of trade vehicle The 'loss' of the cat lights, and the 'loss' of the cat lights when they are carried."

"Therefore, from time to time, you will also get technological creations that are higher than Utopia's current technology."

She showed off the part she'd gotten from Gwen's scrap pile—she didn't pick a good thing for the second one.

"Imitation of witchcraft, this thing is very complicated, and I have to ask my craftsman friend to explain it. As for me, although I understand it a little, it is not as professional as her after all."

……

Play until night.

Just when Gwen started to feel that Laura might not be enjoying herself too much, and was deliberately delaying time, Laura looked at her watch and muttered, "It's almost there."

"Let's go, remember to bring a change of clothes, we need to stay for a day."

"..."

Gwen and Curseblade went back to their room to get their clothes.

In the corridor, Gwen complained: "Could it be a train going farther away? Then I can't stand it..."

Curse Blade glanced at him and smiled: "Maybe it's a place with complicated entry and exit conditions?"

How complicated can it be?
Gwen didn't quite believe it.

After returning to the room, I prepared a canvas bag with a set of pajamas, a change of underwear and two books.

Finally, there are resource packs that are ready for battle at any time.

After getting these ready.

Gwen went out with Curseblade who had changed into a black windbreaker.Laura was found at the place where the Missing Man got off.

The three of them went to the old street together, and then took two buses from the old street to a park.

The economic poor house.

I saw the young hunters who were practicing shooting.

"After a period of training, they can take on the responsibility of hunting the dark creatures on the train. As long as they carry a light source and a cat light with them, they don't have to worry about life-threatening...It's a good plan, right?"

Laura seems to be something of a keyboard statesman, applauding the utopian setting.

Cursed Blade sneered: "The Juvenile Hunter Act was promulgated by Long Yan—well, it's an outrageous bill."

*Long Yan promulgated the most outrageous bill. In Gwen's mind, it should be the prohibition of alcohol, but in the eyes of the smoking Curseblade, it is probably the ban on smoking?By the way, in these two bills, the alcohol prohibition survived for three weeks and two days, and the smoking ban survived for two weeks and ten days.

"The Teenage Hunter Act can reduce idlers, improve people's safety and health, and more importantly, under this bill, displaced people can have a new home and a new job."

Laura seemed to be giving a thought report.

It even made Curse Blade laugh and pat her on the shoulder: "Sister, Long Yan is not here, you don't need to talk about the theoretical benefits, let's talk about the basic disadvantages of the Young Hunter Act."

"First of all, this is a bill that requires reasonable supervision by people of a certain moral standard to be effective. The managers of the workhouse already have almost the rights of ancient lords. Even, which child they fancy, that child Whether you can refuse in front of those who manage your own food and future is another unknown.”

"Secondly, Long Yan's bill enforces the business. If some of the tasks are entrusted to young hunters, how will the reward be calculated? What about the resources occupied by a group of unskilled hunters? What about medical rations?"

"The last and most serious point is the danger of the mission. Although it is said that you don't have to worry about death if you bring cat lights and enough light sources, many people forget this under the fear. The young hunters who have only been trained for a month The probability of loss is probably more than 30 to 40%."

"..."

Facing the well-founded statement of Cursed Blade, Laura couldn't refute it, but just frowned: "Then how long do you think Long Yan's bill can last?"

"Persist for another two or three weeks. The training has just started and completed. After these little fellows go out on missions, Long Yan probably won't be able to see the horror of this situation."

The curse blade said maliciously: "At that time, we may still receive the task of saving these young hunters, maybe."

Laura lit another cigarette.

……

Steam Park is a large greenhouse garden, which is full of strange and mutated luminous plants. Because of the radiation, you must wear a gas mask—some children tried to take off the mask in it, and inhaled a lot of fresh air. After returning home, my animal ears will turn green like moss, and it will take many days to get rid of it-or shave.

Gwen, Curseblade, and Laura all have their own power, and they can enter this luminous and beautiful world without a mask.

After entering.

Laura walked left and right, and came to the front of a small man-made swirling lake scene.

"Tonight in March, the moonlight is a bit dim."

she says.

Gwen looked up, feeling nothing unusual.

Laura said again: "Whatever I do later, you must follow without hesitation, okay?"

"..."

Gwen was about to ask 'Is there anything I can't say?Preferring to be a riddleman', I heard the voice of Cursed Blade answering.

Looking at Curse Blade, she saw that Gwen was a little puzzled, so she took the initiative to say:
"The Proverbs of Confidentiality, obviously Laura has the restrictions of the Proverbs of Confidentiality. She can't say how to get in and out of her craftsman friend's house, but she can do it, and we just need to follow her to do it."

"That's it...well, I will imitate it perfectly." Gwen raised her left hand.

Laura gave him a gentle smile, and looked up at March in the sky.

Waited about ten minutes?Or fifteen minutes.

The light of March has reached its brightest moment, and the surroundings are as bright as day at this moment.

A large number of butterflies do not know where they came from in the whirlpool lake.

"go!"

After Laura said that, she took a deep breath and jumped into the vortex!

"Suka!" Cursed Blade cursed and jumped in.

With these two examples, even if Gwen had the idea of ​​being afraid of heights, she had to keep up.

Falling from the sky, it seemed that it was about to fall to the bottom of the vortex in the lake—it wasn't very high, about ten meters, after all, the Old Villager was not a super-large city, and it wasn't too deep.

Gwen suddenly felt a secret source of force sweeping across his body.

It's a moonlight-colored light.

Under the strong light, he closed his eyes, and when he struggled away again, the things in front of him had turned into a warm place like a hobbit hole.

Cursed Blade and Laura, who were one step ahead of him, were sitting on the ground, both sweating from tension.

"Suka, I really can't stand Suka, every time I come in like this..."

Laura whispered.

While she was talking, a red-haired woman walked out from the wooden door next to her. She mocked Laura mercilessly:
"That's because you don't want to cast a teleportation spell, idiot."

"Hello." Curseblade behaved very honestly and stretched out his hand, "I am Curseblade of Secret Detective."

The other party shook hands with her: "I'm Yeka from the Villager, a source craftsman. I heard from her a few days ago that you are coming..."

Unexpectedly, Laura is still reliable, and has already greeted her in advance, so as not to make the scene embarrassing.

"Okay, I'll talk about the pleasantries later, Yeka! Look what I got?"

Laura showed him the parts she got from Gwen.

The eyes of the red-haired Yuanli craftsman lit up: "Show me, move your stupid hands away, this is, uh, an imitation witch product?"

She saw at once that the performance was reminiscent of Laura.

Laura winked at Gwen: "Look."

She handed the parts to Yeka.

"Good sister, I'm giving you this thing. Can you tell me about the imitation witch?"

"Ok?"

Yeka is roughly the type of person who doesn't have much emotional intelligence.

Her expression was like that of a science student who saw a liberal arts student walk into a chemistry laboratory—oh, the teacher asked him to lead others.

Seeing her expression, Laura smiled again: "If you let them know the characteristics of these things, then they will pay attention to them when they go to the wilderness next time, so you can buy these products?"

Yeka's eyes lit up, and he said loudly:

"Okay, but I want your right of first refusal at, um, market price! Below market price you can sell to someone else. Above market price... um, I'll try to bid, ok, how many How much will I charge...then I'll tell you about the twists and turns."

　Damn, why is tomorrow the 31st, and it's not yet next month!

　　The cat wants to pull the hips, the cat wants to pull the hips!
