Chapter 17 Disaster Dolls (Part 2)
The pen tongue needs to be soft. Ordinary fountain pens on the earth are made of synthetic plastic, but the Star Refining World has better materials: iron sinker wood. It is harder than ordinary wood, but softer than metal. Ge Zheng used this material to make the pen tongue and capillary structure, and a pen has been completed most of the time.
The remaining question is what material to use instead of rubber to make ink gallbladder.
The ink is stored in the ink gallbladder. If there is no ink gallbladder, the pen will still be a dip pen, which cannot achieve the effect required by Ge Zheng.
...
The old Hans smiled and said, "Your master invites me to dinner? Is there such a good thing?" Honest Dunk said, honestly, "Yes, the master asked me to treat you." The old Hans always had a free meal, but this time he was suddenly invited, and he was really uncomfortable.
He touched his greasy head: "Okay, since Xiao Ge sincerely invites me, I'll give you a look."
After the old Hans was full of wine and food next door, Ge Zheng played with a picture and found it: "Brother Hans, the last time you received in Wangshan City, is the bag of lacquer gum you received still?" The old Hans' eyes turned: "It's still here, why do you want to buy it? Brother, I'll settle the score clearly, I'll settle your twenty gold coins."
Old Hans received two gold coins and sold them to Ge Zheng for twenty gold coins. Although ten cheaper than the market price, Ge Zheng always felt a little uncomfortable. He sighed quietly: "Okay, since you have to settle the score clearly, you have eaten and drunk here before, how many gold coins are these big meals worth?"
Old Hans gave him the glaze with his hands with bitter face. Of course, Ge Zheng could not go too far, so he gave him ten gold coins.
Ge Zheng locked himself in the laboratory, picked out a small ball from the bag of lacquer gum, inserted it into it and blew it, and made a capsule. Then he added some calcium to it, and the capsule immediately hardened and became almost the same as rubber.
He then extracted a blood vessel from the body of a big fish and used the replacement equation to replace the biological cells in it with a metal material - an ink guide tube.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is not needed. That night, Ge Zheng assembled all the parts, and the first fountain pen in Xinglian was born!
He inserted it into the ink bottle and pulled out a tube of ink. Ge Zheng wrote a few words, adjusted the tip of the pen according to the degree of ink, and finally it was done.
That night, with the help of the pen, Ge Zheng completed thirty difficult problems in one breath, twice as fast as using a dip pen, and his handwriting was neat and elegant, without a single ink dot.
...
When Ge Zheng was rushing to make a pen overnight, there was still no one in Wangshan City who fell asleep.
Gorfa hid in his bed and was playing with his new toy. Dorsey doll is the latest toy. Few alchemists will refine a toy by themselves, so alchemy toys are particularly expensive. This toy is made very exquisitely, with every joint moving and wearing an armor.
It was not until the middle of the night that Gorfa fell asleep in his arms with the toy. Under the quilt, a strange red light suddenly appeared in the eyes of the doll that looked cute during the day. Then it mechanically twisted its neck and bit Gorfa's wrist...
The bloated city lord Stroka was lying on his mistress and panting heavily. He loved to do this. With a clang, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Ilmeda, dressed in tight samurai, broke in: "Father, there is a plague in the city!"
"What!" Both the father and daughter forgot about the embarrassment, and Stokka shrank directly and retreated from her mistress's body.
"Please give an order immediately to close the city of Wangshan!" said Ilmeda. Although this is an act of suicide, there is a plague in the city. If the city is not closed, it will spread the plague to the entire continent, and it will be a great disaster at that time.
Stokka hesitated and put his boots on his hesitantly. Ilmeda couldn't wait any longer and grabbed his wrist: "Father, make a quick decision!" Stokka sighed to the sky: "Can the foundation of our ancestors be destroyed in my hands like this?" He waved his hand violently: "Guards, send an order to lock down the city!"
At this time, ordinary people didn't know what happened, which was sad for these people. When the heavy city gate was closed, the iron bar outside the city gate also fell - this was the iron bar that fell only in the moment of war. But at this time, it was not to deal with foreign invasion, but to block the citizens waiting to die.
The ignorant people asked each other anxiously: "What's wrong? Has the enemy been called? Why didn't we hear any news?"
The soldiers didn't know what was going on, they just faithfully executed the orders - the orders equivalent to suicide.
Ilmeida's actions reflect her brilliant political wisdom. Even if she does not take the initiative to lock down the city, after the news comes out, the three major priests will send troops to block Wangshan City. By that time, even if Wangshan City can escape the plague, she will not be able to escape the army of the three major priests.
If she takes the initiative to lock down the city, she will win the favor of the entire continent. If Wangshan City can escape this disaster, she will receive praise and support from the entire continent. It seems that a suicide move actually hides deep political thinking behind it.
Wangshan City is a typical dictatorial city-state. There are almost no other government offices in the city. All government and military orders are issued by the city lord Count Stokka. Therefore, the layout of the entire city is centered on the city lord's mansion in the central city lord as the center.
To the north is a concentrated commercial area, Ge Zheng's alchemy shop, dwarf master Feorre's weapon shop, and wretched goblin Horns' alchemy material shop are all in this area. To the south is the rich area in the city with many luxury houses. To the east is the military camp of the city guards, and to the west is the area where the poor live in concentrated areas, which is what is commonly known as the slum.
In a block in the slum, the well-equipped City Lord's Guards had surrounded the entire block, only allowed to enter and not leave. The City Lord Stokka rode a tall horse, followed his daughter and the commander of the City Defense Army, Bamos, to the front of a low house in the block.
All the priests of the temples in the city were urgently requisitioned. Seeing the city defense army hurriedly asking the priests to leave their homes, everyone had a premonition of something. By noon, the news spread like dandelion seeds in the wind.
