Dawn of the Grey Tower

Latest URL: Hearing Goethe's words, Youni was silent for a while. He was a little confused, not because he thought it was difficult to keep the spider webs water-proof, but because he didn't have such knowledge himself, and to solve this problem, his teacher was bound to do it.

So will the teacher be willing to make a move? What would the teacher think of his conversation with these spiders? He expected a cue from his shoulder, but a few seconds later got nothing. In fact, when Youni turned his head, he would find that the feathered butterfly had turned into a feather-decorated button and attached to his clothes at some point.

This is a secondary change made by Cheese to avoid attracting attention, but like all magic, changes have a price. Butterflies are living beings, even if they are only in appearance, living things have a natural tendency to move, so the utensils whose appearance is based on animals and plants are more likely to have psychic phenomena than others. The price of losing the animal shape is that it is more difficult to convey information to others.

It's not that Gray Robe has given up helping apprentices now, but Cheese thinks it's not time to help Youni. Of course, these Youni themselves don't know.

"Okay, I'll do my best to help you." Youni finally decided to agree first, if he couldn't solve the problem, he would tell the spiders about his teacher's existence and ask him to exchange for materials for making fishing nets.

Here we can see the difference in negotiation strategy and experience between Cheese and Yoni. Youni made a mistake inadvertently, or was guided by the other party. Goethe claimed that the spiders would pay any price as long as the apprentice could solve the problem of the water-soluble silk. It sounded like he was saying he could bid as much as he wanted after Yoni had completed the task.

In fact, it didn't talk about what kind of remuneration the spiders can provide. The so-called "anything" sometimes gives everything they ask for, and sometimes it doesn't get anything. Not to mention that the reverse understanding of this sentence can also be regarded as saying that unless you can solve the problem, otherwise we are not willing to negotiate any transactions with you, which is very meaningful.

Request is a dangerous word in negotiation because it often implies unequal price and reward.

If the cheese is here, he will not take into account the earnestness of the request, and he will probably explain his intentions straightforwardly and propose a transaction instead of assistance. This may sound heartless and rude, but etiquette and emotion are meaningful only when they are equal, unequal emotion is a kind of spiritual shackles, and unequal etiquette is a brand on the body.

Man cannot think of himself too lowly, and he must never think of himself as a savior. The current situation of Youni is both. He has neither the self-confidence of equality nor the willingness to help the other party. With these two factors at work, the initiative of this conversation is destined not to be in the hands of the apprentices. These cheeses all know that because he has also experienced such a process, being a good person does not necessarily lead to good results, or in other words, it is difficult to be a really good person.

"It's like a miracle to get help from outsiders at this time. It seems that the web of fate has made your thread entangled with us at this time. This is really amazing, very amazing." Goethe's two tentacles were in front of his mouth Touching, like hands clasped together.

He led Youni into this severely damaged spider web, reminding them to avoid areas severely damaged by rain, and stop from time to time to repair some relatively intact places. Goethe's method of repairing is rather straightforward. He will secrete silk thread from his abdomen, weave through the last two pairs of long legs, and turn it into a wide or thin mesh or rope-like structure, inserting them into the damaged part, temporarily Relieves crashes caused by weight. But this is really a drop in the bucket for the entire platform in front of me.

"Boom!" The sudden collapse occurred not far from several people. The platform of about 20 square meters collapsed due to the pull of gravity. A chunk of baked too soft cheese bends down.

But its weight will not become gentle because of this, on the contrary, the spider silk that has absorbed water is many times heavier than when it is dry, and its fall directly caused greater derivative disasters in the lower space, dust and water splashes It flew around along the breach, and some viscous sewage hit Youni's face.

"The seventh field collapsed today, and the spider web is approaching its limit." Goethe said as if explaining, but also as if talking to himself. Without his summoning, a large number of spiders rushed from all directions of the platform towards the place where the groove was formed. They crawled into the gap and carried out the greatest possible emergency treatment for the damage caused by the collapse, including but not limited to using the heavy collapsed part Its own silk thread is tied to the side of the gap to prevent it from falling further. Youni looked at the place where the collapse occurred with some concern, imagining what kind of tragic fate the residents of the lower floors would encounter.

"Don't worry, these floors have been cleared, and the only active people on the upper floors are workers and weavers. Having said that, if this is not repaired soon, the collapse will spread like the lower floors sooner or later. We may have to hurry. "

There was no expression on the spider's face. After Goethe finished speaking at a much faster speed, he hurried forward in the original direction. The apprentice finally took a look at the collapsed place. A large number of spiders spit out new webs, forming a white film that was different from the damaged webs. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"It seems that what you need to solve most now is not the problem of spider silk dissolving in water. It is more important to restore this place to its original state first." Even if Youni has no experience, he knows this truth. If there is a fire in the house, the first thing to consider The problem is by no means that the fire prevention measures were not enough in the previous daily activities, but that the flame must be extinguished first.

The corruption brought by rainwater is the fire in the room. Improving spider silk can only be regarded as a preparation for the same situation in the future. Immediately repairing damaged and soon-to-be-damaged structures is the way to extinguish the fire.

Goethe did not stop, "You are right. But our society has a division of labor. It is because of the trust in our compatriots that the big network can replace the small network. Let them do the work here. We have to complete it. Our work."

Division of labor, a clear and high degree of division of labor, is a typical feature of cluster societies. Along with it comes the division of responsibilities and the generation of a sense of responsibility. From this point of view, spiders are no different from humans. But it's not a sign of civilization either. Ants and bees have similar strategies in nature.

"The front is the area I'm in charge of, my temporary research institute."
