The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

While Zhao Chuanxin was hiding in the room and letting Gulizar bring liquid food, Liu Baoguo and his party had also arrived in the capital.

Geologist Thomas Chamberlain invited them to go with him, and it happened that various places hosted banquets for the Olympic athletes who wanted to stay in Lugang Town.

Everywhere we go, there are local gentry who arrange food and lodging. Not only is the food, drink and fun good, there are always people coming to watch and point out.

Going all the way north, when they arrived in the capital, it was quiet and no one paid any attention to them.

Liu Baoguo had been pretending to be hot all the way and was already satisfied. His stomach was full from eating and drinking. Now he was relieved to see that it had stopped.

Otherwise, you will have to recuperate your health.

Thomas Chamberlain invited Liu Baobao and said: "We are going to Zhangjiakou for inspection on the newly opened Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. Mr. Liu, we are old friends. You can come with us."

It’s been almost a year since he left home, and now Liu Guobao just wants his wife and children to be on the bed.

He shook his head: "Forget it, we have gained weight along the way and have neglected training. We have to go back and recuperate."

As soon as this statement came out, it was not just Thomas Chamberlain who was disappointed.

A German-American student on the team, Amadeus Miller, was equally disappointed.

His eyes never left Miao Cuihua.

Sister Hua not only has fair and silky skin, but also has a unique and awe-inspiring aura.

Originally, it was just local and rustic, but with Zhao Chuanxin's request, Miao Cuihua has evolved many times in terms of aesthetics. Now, whether it is her hairstyle or outfit, she can still attract people's attention even if she puts it on the streets of Paris. Paired with her innocent face Feng's charming face has fascinated many men along the way.

Amadeus Miller looked at Miao Cuihua and hesitated to speak.

At this time, Thomas Chamberlain said: "Mr. Liu, to be honest, I heard that there are many horse bandits on the grassland, and Mr. Liu is quite prestigious in the north. If you can follow us, you may be able to save many people." unnecessary trouble."

If he said anything else, Liu Baogui would definitely ignore it.

But it can be said that he has a good reputation in the north, so Liu Baoguo quit: I have a good reputation all over the country, okay?

He gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, for the personal safety of all our international friends, it's not impossible for me to accompany you. However, once I get there and let you settle down, I will immediately leave for home. It's almost the Chinese New Year..." … It’s not Christmas, it’s our New Year.”

Thomas Chamberlain nodded and said with a smile: "Just in time, after we have gone to Zhangjiakou, we have to go outside the customs and take a look at Lugang Town."

Zhang Baogui: "..."

He looked at Miao Cuihua, trying to get her opinion.

Miao Cuihua said: "You make the decision yourself, but I want to go back to Lugang Town."

As a result, the team was divided into two. Liu Guogui followed Thomas Chamberlain to Zhangjiakou, while Miao Cuihua and others returned to Lugang Town.

There is a foreigner in Miao Cuihua's team - Amadeus Miller.

Wang Long didn't like this foreign devil and asked sullenly: "If you don't follow Chamberlain, what will you do with us?"

Amadeus Miller glanced at Miao Cuihua: "I am more interested in Lugang Town. I have already told Mr. Chamberlain that I will go to Lugang Town at my own expense to investigate first."

"You are so warm-hearted, are you afraid you are a spy?"

"Ah... misunderstood. I'm not a spy. I'm a student, a student of the Chicago Academy of Sciences. I don't mean any harm."

It would be fine for other Chinese, but Wang Long was different. When he was at Tianjin Wei Port, Amadeus Miller witnessed Wang Long breaking the hand of a pickpocket who wanted to steal something.

The pickpockets had accomplices and wanted to attack them in groups. Wang Long fought against four of them alone and was merciless, punching one child at a time.

The cruelty of his methods and the violent nature of his character made Amadeus Miller dare not provoke him.

When Wang Long heard this, he sneered and said, "There's no malice? What's the point? You're motivated by sex?"

Amadeus Miller was quite open in this regard and immediately admitted: "I admire Ms. Miao very much."

"..." Wang Long seemed to be looking at a fool: "Do you think we are all blind? We can't see Sister Hua's beauty, right?"

"What...what does this mean?" Amadeus Miller didn't understand.

"What do you mean?" Wang Long sneered: "We all know that Sister Hua is beautiful, but no one dares to provoke her. If you have any brains, you will not try to take advantage of Sister Hua."

That was Zhao Chuanxin's woman, although Zhao Chuanxin never admitted it.

There are even rumors that Liu Jiahui is also Zhao Chuanxin's woman, but insiders know that this is pure nonsense.

Amadeus Miller smiled disapprovingly: "In Europe, marriage and love are separate. Even as powerful as a king, he cannot stop his wife from having fun. A spouse is a spouse, and a lover is a lover."

Wang Long was furious when he heard this: "Bah, male thieves and female prostitutes are shameless, worse than pigs and dogs... You Europeans and Americans are just beasts who don't know etiquette and justice!"

Amadeus Miller was also angry and sneered: "Sir, look at it, your country is in a feudal autocracy. When your economy and living standards improve and you enter a civilized society, you will slowly accept this phenomenon." , you are just lagging behind now..."

Wang Long was even more angry. He had always felt that Europeans and Americans were barbarians. They had only been civilized for a few days and then they started to raise their tails? He said firmly: "Bah, we will never be like you."

On the other side, Liu Guogui followed Thomas Chamberlain and his party on the train. When passing through the Badaling Tunnel, Thomas Chamberlain saw a stone monument outside the window.

He pointed to the stone tablet and asked, "Mr. Liu, what is written on it?"

The train was very slow at this time, and Liu Guogui had excellent eyesight and could see clearly.

He was surprised: "Eh? Charcoal Works Monument?"

He read the big characters first, then silently read the small characters as the train approached.

Seeing his expression, Thomas Chamberlain became even more curious: "What is written on it that shocks you?"

"This is a carbon engineering monument. It records that a person made a huge contribution to opening the Badaling Tunnel." Liu Guogui said after coming back to his senses.

"Who is this person?"

"It's a salary transfer. Zhao Chuanxin is a charcoal worker!"

Thomas Chamberlain was shocked: "Ah... is he still an engineer?"

War, music, geology, proficiency in several languages, proficiency in painting, and even engineering as a child. Did he start learning it in his mother's womb?

…

Zhao Chuanxin was drinking meat porridge.

He turned his back to Gulizar and drank.

Gulizar wanted to turn around and look at him, so he turned around again.

Gulizar was unconvinced and turned around, finally lying down behind Zhao Chuanxin and sticking his head out to take a look.

"What happened to your mouth?"

Gulizal asked him in shock, because she saw his upper and lower lips were concave.

"Ahem, your eyes are dazzled. Don't delay me from drinking porridge." Zhao Chuanxin could feel her breath on his cheek skin. Normally he would have to tease her, but he was not in the mood right now.

"My A-Nang said..." Gulizar had already taken her mother to the sky: "If a man has to observe etiquette towards a woman in private, and if he even sleeps in the same room, then he will definitely not like this. woman."

Zhao Chuanxin put his back behind his back and gave a thumbs up: "You A Nang understands the relationship between men and women."

Gulizal became anxious and said angrily: "We sleep in the same room, and you haven't done anything."

"Although Zhao is terminally ill with Mengde syndrome..." Zhao Chuanxin sat up straight: "But I still have to satisfy such a strange request as yours. In that case, take off your clothes and I'll pull it. curtain."

"Ah..." Gulizar remembered what her mother had taught her, and suddenly her cheeks burned and she ran out quickly.

Zhao Chuanxin looked back and saw that no one was there. He breathed a sigh of relief and slowly finished the meat porridge.

He said to himself, he used to avoid me in the shower, but now he is so shy just talking about it. Her words are like the forbidden fruit that Adam and Eve ate.

After eating, Zhao Chuanxin put on his mask again and went out.

When we arrived at the restaurant, it happened to be Benjamin Goldberg paying everyone's wages.

Wang changed his name and flipped the money in his hand and said, "Okay now, I can go to Liangzhou City to have a good time. Guo Tuwa, are you going?"

Guo Tuwa hurriedly shook his head: "I want to save money to get a wife and have children, but all the romantic places are gold-selling caves, so I can't go there."

When Zhao Chuanxin came out and heard it, he sighed: "This era is so good. Sooner or later, one day, eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling will be cheaper than having a wife."

Everyone: "..."

Wang changed his name and his eyes lit up: "Shopkeeper, what era are you talking about? I secretly believe that it will be a grand event, which is really exciting."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "As I said before, we will fight gambling and drug abuse at the same time!"

"exactly!"

Zhao Chuanxin didn't talk nonsense to them. After going out, he went up to the watchtower.

Guo Tie'er, along with a man whom Zhao Chuanxin had never seen before, was standing guard above.

The wind at the top of the observation tower was very strong, and the howling cold wind made the two of them shiver.

"Shopkeeper, what are you doing here? You love your soldiers as much as your sons. Do you want to go into battle in person to relieve the two of me?" Guo Tieer asked with a smile.

"Look at what you said, am I that kind of person?" The cold wind blew Zhao Chuanxin's mask swaying: "I just came up to see the scenery."

"..."

Zhao Chuanxin saw the withered grass on both sides of the stone road that entered the sky, revealing a more precise slot for placing the fast gun, as well as the cable connected to the winch.

If an enemy attacks, this is the first line of defense.

Benjamin Goldberg made Flying into the Sky impregnable.

The roots of desert vegetation are very deep and can reach underground water sources under the sand.

With plenty of manpower this year, Benjamin Goldberg stretched the grass for miles.

He also cleared roads and areas for future housing construction in advance.

There are large areas of temporary tents and shacks in the east, where hungry people have settled in the sky.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the drawings he had drawn long ago and compared them with the actual terrain. There were several things that needed to be changed.

Guo Tie'er stretched out his head and came over to take a look: "Shopkeeper, is this picture of us flying in the sky? Is that a pagoda to the east of Tianshui Well? It's too big..."

Zhao Chuanxin said nothing and took out another drawing.

The pot sticker opened his mouth in shock when he saw it.

From its outline, he could recognize it as the building from the previous map.

But this one is more detailed.

The picture shows two not-so-high towers, connected by an air bridge that looks like an "umbilical cord" in the middle.

The tower has a polygonal base with a tall arched door on each side.

Why can Guotieer see that his door is very tall?

Because there are countless dense and irregular small doors on the tower.

It's like countless small houses hanging on the tower.

Go up from the thick rock base and enter the arch. Inside is a circular street that is wide enough for driving and spirals up.

Some arches are steps and can only be walked through.

There are slopes outside some arches, which can be used for driving.

There is also dense vegetation covering both sides of the road.

In fact, there are only five floors, and the top is a circular dome.

This building is complex and huge, with order hidden in the chaos. No matter how imaginative people of this era are, they would not be able to imagine such a structure.

There are four words written next to it - Peace Academy.

That's why Guo Tie'er was shocked: "Shopkeeper, do we want to build this tower?"

Zhao Chuanxin could only draw randomly.

But if it is to be practical, Xingyue must assist in design.

For example, residential area layout, transportation, and built-in sewage system planning.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Yes."

"How much money will it cost?"

"Haha, it doesn't cost a penny."

After Zhao Chuanxin finished speaking, he got off the watchtower.

Wearing soft gold armor, he went to the sky and flew sixty miles to the northeast.

Even if there are people flying in the sky, they will not come here, let alone outsiders, who will change their color after hearing about the desert.

As long as you keep planting grass, the green space flying in the sky will extend here sooner or later.

He released Xingyue, went to clean up the snow himself, emptied the secret area and put it on the ground, and ran to move the sand dunes.

The digger puppet leveled the sand, and Zhao Chuanxin did not dig the foundation because it was not necessary.

The sand dunes turned into rock bases and extended around.

Zhao Chuanxin followed the design saved in his glasses and used a clay trowel and gloves to create rocks with different levels of density and strength in a regular manner.

For example, the bottom sewage system is made of quartzite with the highest density, which has maximum wear resistance and durability.

After setting aside the pipe, the construction of the outer layer of rough rock continued, reaching a height of three meters.

At every interval, two-meter trenches were dug out by the digging puppet, filled with rocks, and connected to the base to maintain balance and stability.

No need to measure or level, Xingyue will give you the best construction plan.

Zhao Chuanxin moved around like ants before laying out a base of more than 300 square meters.

Because the built-in complex sewage pipeline consumes a lot of time.

He looked at the dazzling sun above his head and stretched, only to find Xingyue playing with a pile of debris.

He said, "Let's go and go back to eat first."

In the restaurant, Zhao Chuanxian saw Nikola Tesla.

"Why are you wearing a veil?" Nikola Tesla looked at the hidden Zhao Chuanxin with confusion, and was not surprised by his return.

"Well, it's cold outside, my face is freezing." Zhao Chuanxin said perfunctorily: "How is the radio transmission?"

If radio transmission can be realized, I am afraid that the pattern of the world will undergo earth-shaking changes in the future.

"Not yet." Nikola Tesla shook his head.

"UFO... I mean, how is the research on aircraft going?"

"Not yet."

"Zhao... I'm just such a bad-tempered person!" Zhao Chuanxin rolled up his arms and sleeves.

After spending so much money and so much energy, you still haven’t figured out anything about relationships?

Instead, I made the neon lights and water pumps that make the sky colorful at night.

Isn’t this not doing our job properly?

Nikola Tesla hurriedly said: "Zhao, don't be angry, I have something to say."

Zhao Chuanxin squinted his eyes: "But it doesn't hurt to talk."

"Although free energy, radio transmission and aircraft have not made much progress, I have found that radio transmitters and receivers that we can make from existing materials can help you achieve the kind of wireless communication you are talking about."

The reason why Nikola Tesla emphasizes existing materials is because he previously achieved the collection of free energy by using the starry sky root companion creature that Zhao Chuanxin took from the "Old God Code" as a material to make a collector. .

Later, Nikola Tesla expanded the capacitor so that the entire sky could be powered.

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up: "Is it a directional wireless communication that cannot be eavesdropped by others?"

"This..." Nikola Tesla scratched his head in embarrassment: "I have discovered some laws about resonance phenomena, and can also have directional communication, but I must use the scraps of materials you gave me to assist..."

Zhao Chuanxin understood.

This guy must have had the idea of ​​making a companion creature of Starry Sky Root. Maybe he used a hammer to knock off a corner of it as an experiment.

But this obviously did not meet Zhao Chuanxin's requirements, and he was greatly disappointed.

If the radio's level of technology is too unreliable, he can't provide more with the Starry Sky Root Companion.

At this time, Xingyue said: I think I have a solution.

Zhao Chuanxin was ecstatic: "Is this true?"
