Chapter 393: A Letter from Far Away
Alex eventually left, crying and looking in a bad mood.
Richard knew that the reason why the other party was in a bad mood was not because he was reluctant to leave, but because he was reluctant to make him money in the future.
Shaking his head, Richard took the materials and walked into the world inside the box.
......
The world inside the box.
After some exchanges, Richard and Pandora have a more detailed understanding of Pandora's abilities and are ready to try to put them into practice.
Holding an iron ingot, he handed it to Pandora and let Pandora grab it, and Richard instructed Pandora to use her abilities to shape her.
"Hit the energy and make this ingot like this. Richard opened a papyrus scroll, showed Pandora a three-dimensional pattern on it, and asked, "Can you do it?"
Pandora grabbed the ingot, her eyes flashed, and she looked at the scroll for most of the day, first nodded, then shook her head: "No...... I don't know. ”
"Let's try it first. ”
"Ugh. Pando pulled his hand, grabbed the ingot, and exerted his ability.
The ingots turned red, softened, melted into juice at a rate visible to the naked eye, and then deformed, striving to approximate what it looked like on a papyrus scroll.
A little, a little, a little......
Richard looked at Pandora carefully, his brain racing, thinking about the principle of Pandora's abilities. It seems to be related to the fire-type spell of plastic energy, but it is more likely to be similar to the innate ability of the dragons, just like the instinct of some demonic creatures.
Considering that Gregory was a fire-breathing dragon during his lifetime, he could shoot high-temperature flames and directly burn most of the palace of the Blue Lion Kingdom. Pandora's ability now is not very powerful, but it ...... But it's really useful.
This ability makes Pandora a 3D printing queen...... Printers, for a lot of research, have a facilitating effect.
You must know that due to the current backward level of industrial science and technology in the world, many things are difficult to produce.
For example, things like reactors and high-pressure vessels are difficult to build. Even if you rely on craftsmen to barely make it, the rejection rate is extremely high. In the past, it was already the limit for craftsmen to make high-pressure tanks that could store chlorine and oxygen, and no matter how difficult it was, it would not be possible to force the craftsmen to death.
With Pandora, everything is much simpler, as long as Pandora is trained and the required raw materials are prepared, Pandora herself can quickly "print" things.
From this perspective, Pandora's role is far greater than that of the baby dragon she represents.
Richard thought about this, and Pandora, using her abilities, had already made what Richard had asked for.
Letting the made thing cool down quickly, Pandora looked at Richard and asked, "Richard, okay?"
Richard took it, looked at it, didn't have much verbosity, pointed out a few flaws, asked Pandora to improve, and soon got a near-perfect ...... Pipe.
Well, iron pipes.
Considering that it is not pure iron and has a certain carbon content, it can actually be called a steel pipe - a seamless steel pipe.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and Richard wasn't prepared to challenge Pandora with a high level of difficulty at the start, so he decided to start with seamless steel pipes.
In other words, although the scientific and technological level of seamless steel pipes is not high, it does not belong to high-precision products, but it is not very low, and it cannot be manufactured casually.
If nothing else, the new China on the earth was not produced until 1953, four years after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In addition, seamless steel pipes play a great role.
Perhaps the seamless steel pipe seems to be just a pipe, and there is nothing brilliant about it, but it has an irreplaceable role in machine manufacturing, transportation, geological exploration and many other aspects, and is known as the "blood vessel" of industry. If seamless steel pipes cannot be manufactured, then the development of many industrial fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, steel, machinery, military industry, aerospace and so on is impossible to talk about.
In many times in the world, things are actually like this - it is often not a handful of technologies of the highest level that restricts development, but the most basic parts, a material, and a screw.
The development of high-end technology is the goal, but before the development of high-end technology, the development of basic technology is the key.
Richard is ready to continue to develop Pandora's "shaping" ability, step by step to light up the industrial technology that is missing in the current world, and then he will be able to complete all the research he wants at will.
Of course, what he wants at the moment is to build a few large-scale experimental instruments that are more useful.
......
In the blink of an eye, a few days later.
Steel equipment with a huge volume appeared in various functional divisions of the world inside the box.
Distillation columns, fractionation columns, autoclaves, liquid yeast tanks, furnaces......
Richard looked at these things, nodded with satisfaction, and said to himself: "Although the overall appearance is still very simple, and the functions are not very perfect, at least a framework has been built, and a relatively qualified portable laboratory has finally been built." From now on, it will be called ...... The Garden of Eden, well, the Garden of Eden. ”
"Also......" Richard said slowly, sweeping over the Garden of Eden, "it's almost time to really leave White Rock City." ”
"It's just, where are you going to leave White Rock City? That's a question......
......
Ground Laboratory, Main Laboratory.
It's late afternoon, and the candles are lit and glow orange, making the whole room seem a little mysterious.
Richard sat at the slightly empty laboratory table, and by the light, opened a letter.
The letter was delivered from a very distant place in the north of the East Coast, after many people changed hands, with great difficulty, and the person who wrote the letter had left many days earlier...... Heidi - the granddaughter of the university scholar Thorady, a cat slave girl.
To be honest, in Richard's opinion, although the other party did say that he would write to him when he left, he really didn't think that the other party's letter could be delivered, after all, the distance was too far. This is not modern Earth - distance is a great obstacle to communication, not even a wizard is immune, let alone an ordinary girl.
However, the letter was delivered.
Was it luck, or was it some coincidence in the dark?
His eyes narrowed, and Richard opened the letter.
His eyes fell on the letterhead, and after only one line of reading, his eyebrows raised: "Hello Dear Mr. Richard, this is the 21st letter I have written to you. ”
"Smack. ”
Richard tapped his fingers on the table and continued reading.
"I remember you saying that because I came too far away, it was hard for you to receive the letters I wrote to you, so I wrote a lot of letters. I don't know exactly which letter you're going to receive, so I write every letter as if it were the only one you receive.
If you receive multiple letters at once, and there are some contradictions in the contents, it may be because I didn't understand it accurately at first, but then I figured it out, anyway...... Don't be surprised, please refer to the letter later in time.
Uh, I've talked too much nonsense, so let's get back to business.
I don't know if you remember, before sending me away, you said that you would also leave White Rock City, but you don't know where to go. I said, you can come to this place called Wood Island. But you thought you didn't know much about Wood Island and couldn't be sure. That's why I came here and tried to learn a lot of things. Now I'm telling you about it, hoping to have some help in your decision.
