The First Evolution

Of course, Lu Laosi's luck is actually limited. It is acquired. To be more precise, it actually depends on the arrival of the Abyss Lord Yang Xiaokang.

Once Yang Xiaokang dies, this luck will decline.

Despite this, don't underestimate this luck, it is blessing from the whole world.

For example, Li Zicheng and Lu Laosi are very similar. Li Zicheng himself is just a small postman, and his destiny relies on the Ming Dynasty.

As long as the Ming Dynasty is still there, his luck will always be at its peak.

However, once the Ming Dynasty fell, his luck completely collapsed. The 200,000 troops who accompanied him to fight in the world could only support Li Zicheng in BJ for a mere 42 days.

In the end, Li Zicheng died in May 1645, which was only five hundred days, one year and four months before Chongzhen went to Diaomei Mountain, which was the sign of the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there is still a dispute between Brigadier General Jeffrey and Fang Linyan, and this causal dispute is unknown to anyone involved.

It was precisely because Fang Linyan and others had done something big in the Abnormal Human Research Center, which was a key area of ​​the church, that they asked the Bishop of Essex for help, and the Bishop of Essex wanted to mobilize the army. To help, you need Brigadier General Jeffrey's nod.

Under the influence of Gaia's consciousness in this plane, Brigadier General Jeffrey said some sarcastic words, which completely angered the church. Otherwise, with his strong backing, without the joint pressure of the church and his superiors, Brigadier General Jeffrey There is no way it will end up where it is now.

Soon, Fang Linyan and his party parted ways with Brigadier General Jeffrey, and then arrived at the address given before. The mood of the group was both curious and expectant.

After all, according to the prompts, the peerless secrets that could theoretically be obtained from Boss Tang have exceeded their imagination.

So what can you get from Tigris this time?

However, when they asked to see Tigris, they ran into a wall. The butler who opened the door rejected their request with an indifferent politeness:

"We don't have the person you're looking for here, and if you don't disappear within ten seconds, I'll call the patrol."

Omi also had a way to restrain such an arrogant person. She simply picked up a small stone and drew a simple mandala pattern in front of the door. This is the core secret of the Cross of Faith.

Then he said to the housekeeper:

"Look at this pattern, and then tell your master that we will only wait for three minutes at the foreign bank ahead. One second longer and it will be impossible to find us. If you dare to hide something in the middle, or the meaning conveyed is not clear , then you are dead."

After saying that, Omi turned around and left, followed by the others.

Obviously, Omi's trick is also effective. After all, if you have to deal with an arrogant person, being groveling will not help. On the contrary, if you treat him with a more arrogant attitude, it will be miraculous, especially when you have a strong trump card in your hand. .

Sure enough, the arrogant butler hesitated for a moment, then carefully looked at the pattern on the ground, then turned around and went in to report.

No matter how arrogant a steward is, he must consider his master's feelings and interests. Otherwise, if he misses the mark, he will know very well how cruel the master he serves is capable of.

Not long after, Tigris came out. His hair and beard were still very long, and he was wearing a white coat, but it was already colorful. When he saw the mandala pattern on the ground, his expression changed drastically, and then he said sharply:

"Where are their people?"

At this time, cold sweat broke out on the butler's back, and he hurriedly said:

"They said they were at Smith's out front and only had three minutes to wait."

Tigris nodded, then strode over there, and then was slightly stunned:

"It turns out to be you."

Yes, Tigris had dealt with Fang Linyan and the others before, although there was no direct contact between the two parties, because at that time Fang Linyan and the others were imprisoned in the Tigris Conjecture as prisoners, and Tigris didn't seem to take it seriously.

However, Tigris also recognized them at a glance.

The goat, as the negotiating representative, saluted, and then when he was about to speak, Tigris waved his hand calmly and said:

"follow me."

He spoke in an understatement, but there was an unquestionable toughness in his words.

And after saying that, Tigris turned around and left. It seemed that he was not worried at all that they would not come. With this kind of confidence alone, you can see his strong field control ability.

Of course, Fang Linyan and others had already figured out one thing before they came, that is, Tigris was probably very powerful.

Although he never took action from the beginning to the end, but was obsessed with collecting data on the Obsidian Gargoyle like a technical geek, his strength can be seen from just one thing.

That was the time for Fire Cloud Evil God to take action.

In fact, the Fire Cloud Evil God waited until Tigris left on the obsidian gargoyle, and then broke into the second underground floor and began to show his powerful strength.

Fang Linyan definitely didn't think this was a coincidence. Therefore, even someone as unscrupulous as Huoyun Evil God would have to shun him. If the Legend Team used force in front of him, there would be a high probability that they would attack him.

Tigris didn't show up either. Not only did he bring them into No. 37 of the French Concession, but he also led them into the laboratory. Then he was busy with his own experiments, leaving them aside.

As you can see, the alchemist's laboratory does not look much different from an ordinary chemistry laboratory, including aliquots, balances, test tubes, distillers, etc.

But there are also some special things that can only be found in the era of spiritual energy recovery, such as magic crucibles, self-priming bellows, and magic brooms that can automatically clean the floor against the wall.

After Fang Linyan observed carefully for a while, he found a damaged high-temperature blowtorch leaning casually against the wall. It was already covered with dust. He didn't know how long it had been there. It seemed that it had been included in the scrap list.

After looking at it for a while, he directly touched it, and the metal sense was activated. He immediately realized that the damage of this thing was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

It seems that the problem is that a copper pipe about five centimeters long is deformed and twisted. However, the small ball part next to the copper pipe that seems to be just for decoration is hollow. There are actually complicated textures inside, and it contains wonderful laws. It should be It belongs to the category of alchemy circle.

Fang Linyan thought for a moment, then took out the manual lathe and started processing it. As a very common and widely used part, copper pipes must be carried around. The difficulty lies in carving exactly the same magic circle inside the ball.

But this was an almost impossible task for ordinary people, but for Fang Lin Yan, it was an understatement. He reproduced it in three strokes, divided five by two, and then removed the broken parts and replaced himself. Install the DIY parts.

And this is also Fang Linyan's cleverness. Once something goes wrong, he can just reinstall the damaged parts, and the other party will have no losses.

Just when he was about to debug it, Fang Linyan suddenly heard a voice coming from his ear:

"It won't work. Even if there is no error when you carve the inscription, the fire spirit living in this copper burning lamp has already left, so in the end, a spiritual enlightenment ceremony is needed to officially activate it."

Fang Linyan looked back and realized that it was Tigris who was speaking, and immediately said respectfully:

"Master, I'm sorry. I saw that this blowtorch was damaged, and I felt a little pity. My hands were itchy for a while."

Tigris waved his hand, looked at Fang Linyan in disbelief and said:

"Are you sure that the inscriptions inside are exactly the same?"

Fang Linyan smiled and said:

"Wow, Mr. Tigris, this isn't anything too complicated."

Tigris narrowed his eyes and said:

"Really? Are you sure?"

Fang Linyan said:

"Facts speak louder than words."

Then Tigris picked up the blowtorch, assembled it skillfully, and then pressed it lightly, and the blowtorch shone brightly.

This already shows that it has been repaired. If we have to wait until it completely heats up and spits out fire, it will take at least half an hour. Tigris has no time to confirm this.

Fang Linyan said:

“While disassembling the blowtorch, I discovered that there was room for improvement in the design, so I made some adjustments on my own initiative.”

Then he pointed to an inconspicuous switch next to him and said:

"Under normal circumstances, this blowtorch needs to be warmed up for twenty-seven minutes before it can work properly. After pressing the small switch I installed, it only needs to be warmed up for thirty seconds before it can be used."

"What?" Tigris looked shocked for the first time.

After he pressed the switch according to Fang Linyan's instructions, he found that flames spurted out in about thirty seconds, and the flames shot out more than one meter high, making a whirring sound! Very impressive.

Tigris looked at it for a few seconds and said:

"This renovation is good."

Fang Linyan said simply:

"Everything has pros and cons. If I modify it like this, the service life of this blowtorch will be reduced by more than half, and the fuel consumption will double."

Tigris said slightly surprised:

"You should be honest."

Fang Linyan said:

"In fact, my companions usually call me: Honest Wrench."

Tigris nodded, then threw a drawing over:

"Do you understand?"

Fang Linyan took it and looked at it carefully:

"Most of them can be understood, at least more than 80%. It can be seen from the drawing that this is the core component of a machine. It uses the design of a crankshaft connecting rod, but its energy system is quite special. It is not like steam. Power, unlike electricity and petroleum power, is the core component of a nuclear power reactor?"

There was a trace of shock in Tigris's eyes, and then he said slowly:

"In the process of using alchemy to study crystals, I discovered that they contained huge energy, so I designed a device that can output the energy stably and effectively. The size and weight of the mechanical core of steam power are too large. It’s huge, so I just borrowed its design ideas.”

"If you must use your naming method, then it should belong to crystal energy."

Fang Linyan nodded silently after hearing this, and when he was about to speak, Tigris suddenly said:

"I understand the steam power you are talking about, and I have seen it before."

"I have also dabbled in electricity. Thunder and lightning in the sky are so powerful, but if they can be used rationally, they contain the mysterious power of life. Frankenstein Studio is currently deeply involved in this field. I can understand this motivation.”

"But what is a nuclear power reactor? Why have I never heard of it?"

Fang Linyan almost broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. Why was he so mean-mouthed? He could only look at Tigris with a contemplative look on his face, then pointed at the drawing and said:

"As long as you can tell me the dimensions of these parts, as well as the basic design concepts, uses, and taboos. It's best if you can also provide the corresponding materials, then I can make this thing."

Tigris took a deep look at Fang Linyan:

"How long do you need?"

Fang Linyan held his chin and thought for a few seconds, then made a "two" sign with his finger.

Tigris frowned and said:

"Two months is not impossible, but..."

"Cough cough cough cough." Fang Linyan interrupted Tigris's words in a dumbfounded voice.

"Sorry, Mr. Tigris, I meant two hours."

Tigris said angrily:

"I don't like to joke with others, and I don't like others to joke with me on such a critical issue."

Fang Linyan shrugged:

"What a coincidence. Me too. My requirements are just these points. If you satisfy me, I will make what you want within two hours."

Then Fang Linyan looked at Tigris and smiled:

"The crafting fee is free this time, but next time, we have to have a serious discussion."

After hearing this, Tigris didn't say much. He took out a black bell and shook it. Soon a tall servant came from outside. Tigris said simply:

"Dotos, you are now responsible for Mr. Wrench. All of his reasonable demands have been met. However, they cannot leave before getting my permission."

Dotos said nothing, put his hands on his chest, bowed deeply to Tigris, and then made a gesture of invitation to Fang Linyan.

Immediately afterwards, Dotos did another seemingly unnecessary thing. He suddenly pointed at Fang Linyan and opened his mouth. This seemingly rude action made Fang Linyan feel chilled in his heart.

It turns out that the tongue in Dotus's mouth has been cut out completely, and he is mute!

However, Dotos immediately took out a diary from his arms and showed it to Fang Linyan, and writing quickly appeared on the diary:

"Mr. Wrench, please contact me if you need anything."

Fang Linyan smiled and nodded.
