Magus Tech (Technological Wizard)

The old man in the wheelchair heard Li Cha's words, his eyes flickered, as if he was distinguishing the truth from the false, and after a long while, he slowly put down the gun in his hand, and said slowly: "That guy Sherlock...Hmph, okay , what help do you want from me?"

Li Cha didn't talk too much, and said straight to the point: "Sherlock has a clock made by you in his hand. The outer casing is a special silver-white metal. I don't know if you have any impression. I need some of this metal now and do some research. .”

"The silver-white metal of the watch case?" Lawrence said, "Are you talking about Toso silver?"

"Toso silver?" Richard blinked, "I'll call it Barras silver, or metal palladium. But it doesn't matter, I think we should be talking about the same thing, and I do need it, if Lawrence If you have enough here, Master, I hope you can give me some."

"I do have here, and there are enough." Lawrence said, and then changed his tone, "But the question is, why should I give it to you? Is there any benefit for me to give you Toso silver? Hmph, boy, But don't tell me, you will give me money, do you think I am short of money?" Lawrence pointed at the many wooden frames while speaking.

"This—" Li Cha raised his eyebrows, glanced at Lawrence, and said after thinking for a moment, "How about I exchange knowledge, for example...help you improve existing technology?"

"Help me improve the existing technology?" Lawrence was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed out loud, as if hearing the funniest joke in the world, "Hahaha, boy, are you stupid or arrogant? What do you think? , you can’t understand anything? Do you think you can improve my technique? How ridiculous!”

"This kind of thing, if you don't try it, how will you know if it's true or not?" Li Cha didn't get angry, and kept calm. He looked around at the wooden frames and saw a nearby clock with a black case. He reached out and took it down, and put it on On the table in front of Lawrence.

Li Cha pointed to the clock with a black casing, and said solemnly: "Master Lawrence, this clock is one of your proudest works, but have you noticed a problem with him, that is, the movement of the hands is unstable. Yes. Sometimes faster, sometimes slower?

Although this kind of problem can be solved by finishing, it cannot be completely improved. And I can help you basically solve the problem through technical upgrades. I don’t know if you want to know how to do it. In case you're wondering, I need three things right now, a quill, ink, and paper. "

After hearing Li Cha's words, Lawrence looked at Li Cha, staring firmly into Li Cha's eyes, as if he wanted to see through Li Cha.

After a while, Lawrence made a decision, turned his head to look at the two students next to him, and shouted, "Give him what he wants!"

"Um, yes." After hearing this, Mu Tuo and Lake didn't dare to say anything more, and quickly sent a brand new quill pen, a bottle of ink and a scroll of papyrus to the table.

Li Cha didn't say much, unfolded the papyrus scroll, dipped the ink with a quill pen, and quickly drew, drawing each part and the schematic diagram of how the parts work together.

It took tens of minutes to finish drawing an extremely complicated picture, and then stretched out his hand and pushed it in front of Lawrence. Li Cha made a gesture of invitation.

Lawrence lowered his head, his eyes fell on the scroll, and he began to observe carefully. At first, I was a little repelled, and the expression on my face seemed to say: "Nonsense!"

Then the expression changed a little, and became: "It seems to be interesting."

Then it was: "How can this place be made like this?"

Afterwards: "This place is a little hard to understand, but it feels very powerful."

Finally: "This... this... this... is everything true?! If this can really be realized, it will be really powerful, and it can completely solve all problems!"

Lawrence kept looking at the picture,

There was no other movement for more than half an hour, like petrification, because the eyes were blood red because they didn't blink for a long time.

Lake and Mu Tuo were a little worried, they couldn't help leaning over, and whispered: "Teacher, you...are you alright?"

"Hmm—" Lawrence moved now, as if he had regained his senses.

"call--"

Lawrence let out a long breath, turned his head to look at Li Cha, showed a strange expression, and said, "Boy, did you come up with this way of improving clocks?"

Li Cha was noncommittal: "In any case, I helped you improve your technique, didn't you? According to the agreement, Master Lawrence, can you give me the Toso silver?"

"Okay, here it is for you." Lawrence listened to Richard's words, and didn't talk nonsense. He looked at his students and quickly ordered, "Give him all the Toso silver in the warehouse."

"All of them, teacher?" After hearing the voice, Mu Tuo and Lake couldn't help but confirm.

"All!" Lawrence was sure.

"Uh, okay." Mutuo and Lake ran into the next room through a small door. After a while, the two jointly lifted out a heavy iron box, put it in front of Li Cha, and made a "bang" sound. There was a muffled sound.

Li Cha opened the iron box, and saw that there were pieces of cast metal palladium inside, neatly arranged, like gold bars.

Nodding in satisfaction, he closed the iron box with a "snap". Li Cha looked at Lawrence and said, "Master Lawrence, thank you very much." After speaking, he picked it up and left.

"Slow down, please wait!" At this moment, Lawrence called out.

"What, Master Lawrence?" Richard stopped and looked at Lawrence, "What's the matter?"

"Hmm... It's still the same problem as before." Lawrence spoke up, then continued after a pause, "I admit that your method of improving the clock is effective—it can be said to be very effective, far exceeding my expectations. Because of this, I'm also very curious as to how you came up with it.

According to my opinion, this should definitely not be something you researched alone!

After all, I have spent my whole life researching with blueprints, and I have only reached this level. How can you be better than me at such a young age? Plus, you don't have the drawings yet!

You tell me, how on earth did you get this technology? "

Richard looked at Lawrence and smiled: "Master Lawrence, this question seems to be beyond the scope of our transaction, and it has already touched my privacy."

Lawrence said: "Since you say that, it means that you can actually tell me, right? Then what do you want me to exchange? I gave you all the Toso silver, and there is really no more, but I still have There are many other things, such as gold, silver, gems, as long as you want, they can be given to you."

"I have these too." Richard said, eyes twinkling and said, "Master Lawrence, if you really want to know my secrets, why not exchange them with your own secrets."

"My secret?" Lawrence was taken aback.

"Yes, your secret." Li Cha nodded, and said with certainty, "Aren't you very curious, how did I get the technology to improve clocks? Actually, I'm also curious, how do you know how to make clocks, guns, etc. Things. Neither clocks nor guns exist in this world, how did you make them, and why did you make them?"

"This—" Lawrence made a sound, leaning in the wheelchair, his expression became a little cloudy, and he didn't speak for a long time.

The atmosphere in the room became a little dull.
