Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

Just as Zhou Feng was in the cat house choosing mineral distribution maps for Bai Ling and the others to take back, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a very precise and practical instrument recommended on the corner of a webpage!

It's called a handheld spectrometer. To put it simply, no matter what kind of rock it is, you can take a look at it and analyze what metals it contains in the blink of an eye!

This is hundreds of times faster than people in those days painstakingly testing things with chemical reagents bit by bit!

If you combine that with the mineral distribution map he downloaded, the efficiency of geological exploration would increase by more than a thousand times!

As he scrolled down the page, wow, he even found information on the evolution of iron smelting and steelmaking technologies from different eras.

However, he only added these materials to his favorites and did not intend to transfer them all over there at once.

We still need to take the distribution map and spectrometer back first, at least to test their attitude and what they'll give us in return!

However, when he found the seller of this handheld spectrometer, he was really shocked, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Four hundred and fifty thousand!

A full 450,000!

This is way too damn expensive!

Zhou Feng had originally been thinking of getting a car to drive!

As a result, this handheld device drove straight into a BMW 5 Series?

After contacting the seller on the website and getting the address, Zhou Feng made a trip there that afternoon and brought this precious item back.

This is also the most expensive thing he has ever bought.

The packaging covered in English definitely couldn't be brought back to the courtyard house; once it was handed over, they would have to translate all the text on it.

So Zhou Feng could only put the machine itself and the charger together, and then went to the electronics store to buy a small AC voltage stabilizer.

There's no way around it; the electricity over there is much "dirtier" than it is now.

Voltage fluctuations are common, and frequency deviations and harmonic interference are also major problems.

If the charging management chip misjudges the situation, the battery may not fully charge, may not charge at all, or may even be permanently locked!

The voltage regulator cost another 800 yuan, and Zhou Feng pursed his lips as he took out the money.

If it weren't for the fact that his own power bank was covered in model numbers and brand names, making it difficult to explain its origin to Sun Yue and the others, he would have simply brought a power bank with him to save trouble!

Fortunately, he could use his own company's name to account for these things, thus offsetting some of the taxes.

With these hopes in mind, Zhou Feng returned to his room in the courtyard house.

This time, he mainly prepared these things for Bai Ling and didn't go to buy rice, flour, or other food, so he didn't appear at the house that Bai Ling rented for him.

Zhou Feng had barely settled down in his room and hadn't even caught his breath when he heard a commotion in the courtyard outside, though he couldn't make out what they were saying.

Just as he was pondering how to explain the origin of these items to Bai Ling, there was a knock on the door.

"Zhou Feng, are you home?"

Ever since he left, the people arranged by Sun Yue have been keeping watch around the clock in shifts, and Bai Ling has also stayed in the courtyard without leaving.

The moment he appeared in the room, the news immediately reached Bai Ling next door.

The latter, of course, didn't hesitate at all and ran straight over to knock on the door.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhou Feng went over and opened the door.

Anyway, these things will have to be given to Bai Ling sooner or later, so there's no point in hiding them.

Bai Ling, who had just entered, had her eyes fixed on Zhou Feng's hand before she could even speak.

That was an oversized "handgun"!

And the gun was pointed directly at her at that moment!

Bai Ling's mind went blank for a moment, and the next second, the hairs on her entire body stood on end.

Without even having time to think, she hooked her right foot back and slammed the door shut to avoid startling the residents outside.

Using the force of the door closing, he twisted his waist and darted into the kitchen on the side with great speed, while simultaneously reaching for his lower back with his right hand.

"Comrade Zhou Feng, what are you doing? Let's talk this out, I mean you no harm!"

She thought Zhou Feng had discovered something they were doing and that this was a misunderstanding.

Bai Ling couldn't help but panic. If Zhou Feng really fired that 'gun', the bullets would probably blow people to pieces!

Zhou Feng was also stunned; the movements were too fluid and effortless!

From his perspective, Bai Ling's move just now looked like something out of a movie.

As soon as he entered the house, he slammed the door shut, and in a flash, he disappeared.

I have to say, with her figure, she looks quite good doing this kind of move!

"Uh...you must have misunderstood something. This is just an ordinary machine."

Zhou Feng then realized what was happening and quickly moved the handheld spectrometer forward and shook it up and down.

It has to be said that this thing does look a bit like a large handgun. The combination of the lower handle and the upper body and probe really gives it the feel of a high-tech handgun.

It's understandable that Bai Ling would mistakenly believe that this was a weapon he brought back from America!

It was fortunate that the two had gotten along relatively well before, so Bai Ling only hid in the kitchen and did not draw her gun directly. Otherwise, Zhou Feng would be giving a French military salute right now.

"A machine...a machine? What kind of machine is that?"

Bai Ling's gaze remained fixed on the spectrometer, but she hesitated before walking out of the kitchen. She believed that Zhou Feng would not suddenly attack her.
