In the early morning of the next day, a hoarse roar came from Xiaoxiang Pavilion, which startled the early birds catching insects on the peach trees in the courtyard.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah----"

Xiaoyue placed seven or eight large boxes in the lobby of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, patiently sorting out the things that need to be taken away when moving.

Jewelry, gold and silver, jade and ancient treasures...

Fortunately, Fang Yuwu ordered not to search the Xiaoxiang Pavilion at that time, so that the money collected by Qi Delong was spared.

"This, this, this..." Qi Delong held the lost signal pump excitedly, and chased after Xiaoyue with his eyes wide open, "Where did you find it?"

Xiao Yue hid Qi Delong's box of gold bars under the table of the Eight Immortals: "The prince gave it in the early morning."

At that time, he tried his best not to faint, and waited for Qi Chen to give him a gift, but he didn't expect that Qi Chen actually took out this "signal pump".

It's just that he was too tired at the time, and even his surprise and joy were overwhelmed by heavy weariness.

If he hadn't held the signal pump in his hand when he woke up, he would have thought he was dreaming.

In order to come back earlier and tell Qi Delong the good news, he took a lot of effort to send Qi Chen away.

Qi Delong let out a hey voice: "Good guy, it's so tricky to hide. We rummaged through boxes and cabinets a few days ago and couldn't find it... Huh? What's going on?"

Xiaoyue stopped moving his hands: "What's wrong?"

Qi Delong took the signal pump and tapped it on the palm of his hand a few times, and spat: "Damn, it's been too long and the battery has run out."

electricity? ?

Xiao Yue frowned: "Does this thing still need to be charged?"

"Nonsense, otherwise, how can it be called a high-tech electronic product." Qi Delong bit the word "electronics" hard, "It uses the core integration technology of ultra-modern electronic chips and quantum energy, and it is only produced when the metal shell releases radio waves Super-strong quantum entanglement has been several decades ahead of known human technology."

Xiaoyue blew the dust off the gold bars, and said awkwardly, "I thought the electronic products you made didn't need to store electricity."

Qi Delong pouted his buttocks, and dug out a charcoal pen and rice paper from the golden nanmu box: "Do you understand what it means to be inseparable from the original? Technology is based on experience, practice, human thinking, and electricity. Without electricity, what is it?" All blind."

Xiaoyue agrees with this statement, because of the existence of electricity, there are a series of great inventions around electricity, such as future electric lights, televisions, computers, trams, mobile phones... and most of human civilization.

However, there is no electricity here.

Even for hydroelectric power generation, the potential energy of water can be converted into mechanical energy and electrical energy by utilizing the water level drop and generating electricity with the hydroelectric generator. However, this generator is also a product of "electricity" and involves another science and technology.

Xiaoyue thought for a while, and asked, "Is it okay without charging?"

"That won't work." Chidron sat on the floor and drew with his pen. "I haven't invented anything that can replace electricity. This thing has existed since the birth of the universe. It can't be said to be eliminated."

Xiao Yue took a rag and wiped a small white jade bottle: "Why didn't you design it as solar energy?"

Qi Delong was stunned: "It makes sense...but it's too late to say anything now, let's find a way to charge it."

Xiaoyue was not familiar with this field, so he glanced at the pattern Qi Delong had put on the paper, which looked like a three-dimensional sketch of a large square box, and each special part corresponded to a special formula.

Xiaoyue found this thing very familiar: "Franklin's equation?"

Qi Delong's five fingers were scorched black by the charcoal pen: "You can do it, you know even this."

Xiaoyue probably guessed what he wanted to do: "You want to attract thunder?"

Qi Delong said in a strange dialect: "Congratulations to this classmate, you are very close to the correct answer."

He said and pushed the design sketch in front of Xiaoyue: "Franklin once used a kite to attract lightning from the sky and stored it in a Leiden bottle. We can follow suit."

Xiaoyue knew about this experiment. Using this method, he could indeed catch lightning and obtain part of the charge and energy, but they did not have a Leiden bottle, and the experiment was even more dangerous. It was a negative teaching material for the scientific community.

Xiaoyue remembers what the physics teacher said back then, and later scientific research practice firmly forbids anyone to imitate Franklin's experiment.

Xiao Yue said: "Thunder and lightning are very destructive, you are not attracting lightning, you are inviting the sky to strike."

Chidron picked the wings of his nose with his scorched fingers, and got a black ash on his nose: "The guy named Franklin succeeded, why can't I succeed? Don't forget, I, Chidron, am a great and outstanding scientist who opened the space-time gap. Why did you lose to him?"

Xiaoyue was helpless: "Great scientist, you yourself have said that everything is always the same. You have lost those scientific research instruments and informatization data. What do you use to study? Even if you have abundant scientific and technological knowledge, you don't have enough technical support. Impossible."

Zidron drew an exaggerated big circle next to a series of formulas: "That's why I said you are 'close' to the correct answer, look here," Zidron took a picture of the design, "I plan to make a metal storage tank like this first, Used to collect balls, shapes, flashes, and electricity."

Xiao Yue frowned slightly—ball lightning?

"Oh, that's what the folks call rolling mines," Zidron said. "Rolling mines generally occur after thunderstorms and before thunderstorms. They have a diameter ranging from 20cm to 50cm. They can move independently and slowly in the air and last for several minutes." , much gentler than the thunder in the sky."

"Where's the location of the electricity?"

"So I need a metal storage tank with a length, width, and height of at least one meter. Through the continuous reduction of the internal conductor's potential, it can be quickly converted into electrical energy to charge the signal pump."

Xiaoyue: "I mean the place where rolling mines appear."

"That's easy to say," Chidron took a new piece of paper, and began to draw like ghostly peach charms, "Rolling mines will move with metal objects, and they have appeared in open spaces, highways, train tracks, aircraft cabins and other places densely covered with metal. , as long as we arrange an area where metal is concentrated, there is a high probability that we can summon the rolling mines before the thunderstorm."

call?

Xiao Yue sounds like he has joined a cult.

Qi Delong suddenly had a bitter face: "It's just that in this age, where can I find so much metal? It can't enter the armory..."

"Silk Island." Xiao Yue said.

Chidron looked at him questioningly.

Xiaoyue smiled, and continued to pack his clothes: "Sizhou is the largest town of copper and iron in southern Guangdong, every family there forges iron, and every household has copper."

Silk Island... By the way, they are going to Silk Island.

Qi Delong patted the carbon dust on his hands, and said earnestly: "You didn't mention Bozhou, I forgot, you started packing up so early? Do you really intend to stay here forever?"

Actually... Xiaoyue never thought about this question.

He really doesn't want to go back, he is an orphan, unlike Chidron who has family and children, in that world, he has nothing.

Xiao Yue was silent for a while: "I want to stay."

Qi Delong knew that he would think so, lowered his voice and asked: "Have you thought it through? There are still landmines between you and Qi Chen."

Xiao Yue blinked, and said: "He has promised me that we will go to Silk Island to open a wine shop together, selling rose wine and flower cakes, and everything can start again."

"Flower cake??" Qi Delong was puzzled, "Yunnan flower cake or Baichuan flower cake?"

"It should be Yunnan flower cake. When I was traveling, I used to DIY it in a bakery, and it was very successful."

"Oh, that's pretty good... Oh, it's not important!" Qi Delong shook his head frantically, "Didn't you agree to go back and save Ye Zhao? You forgot about your Ye Zhao so quickly?"

Ye Zhao... Xiaoyue fell silent.

If he really left, Qi Chen would be very sad, right?

And he didn't want to leave that much.

"Why are you panicking?" Xiao Yue suddenly said, "There is still more than a month before the full moon in Mid-Autumn Festival. If there is no thunder and lightning this month, you will have to wait another year."

"No, no, no." Qi Delong took two deep breaths, "According to the recent changes in temperature and the humidity of the air, I deduce that within a month, there must be thunderstorms!"

Xiaoyue was dubious, and said, "You can also survey the weather?"

Qi Delong let out a "huh" and proudly said: "To be honest, I have contributed a lot to the humidity meter and wind meter at the Meteorological Station in City A... Oh, you don't need to bring that!" Qi Delong snatched the silk cloth from Xiaoyue's hand, still Drive far away, "Is there no silk in Silk Island? You are not fleeing, so just bring some valuable things."

Xiaoyue didn't want to compete with him, so he turned and walked towards the cabinet, on which were the seven treasures that Qi Chen gave him as rewards, because he couldn't find a suitable box to put them in, so he could only put them here temporarily.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

Another ear-piercing scream pierced Xiaoyue's eardrums.

Qi Delong quickly clarified: "I didn't shout!"
