Days turned into weeks, and Fang Er found himself settled into a predictable routine, commuting between the royal estate and the workshop.
It was the first day of October, in the morning.
Upon waking, his first action was to open the system panel and check the goods refreshed for the month.
Number of goods: 20/20
Refresh attempts: 3/3 (including one category-specific refresh)
What greeted his eyes, besides the uniformly packaged food items, were these two lines of text.
However, after a moment of scanning, Fang Er noticed something amiss.
Borodino bread, Daokou roast chicken, tuna sushi, multi-topping pizza~
What in the world was this!
He wasn't confused by the food items themselves, but by their origins.
Previously, the twenty items refreshed each time had all originated from the same region.
But the ones before him were a mix of products from various countries from a later era!
“System Sister, why has it become such a hodgepodge?”
【The Great Tang has become a global village~ What hodgepodge is there?】
【Hurry up, cash it all in and pay your tribute to me!】
The system's voice was impatient; it had been a month, and it was getting agitated!
Fang Er's eyes lit up at this.
Swish!
So that was the reason!
After exchanging everything, he pressed the garish yellow refresh button.
He decided to save the category-specific refresh opportunity for last.
Bling bling~
A flash of golden light passed, and the gray food icons instantly transformed into a complete arsenal of weaponry!
AK47, AN94, Barrett, Type 95, Gatling,
The giant timbers from the East Coast, each weighing over two thousand tons, would require thousands or even tens of thousands of people for manual loading if cut down!
With these items, they could be easily lifted~
And the domestically produced TCL900C1 girder transporter made him almost jump out of bed with joy.
With a carrying capacity of 1000 tons and a total length of 42.6 meters, three units linked together could be used to transport the giant timbers.
As for the workshop, he'd let them continue their work for now, considering it as skill improvement.
However, only three of these engineering vehicles could be exchanged each time, and they were needed on the American side for loading onto ships and on the Kaifeng side for unloading, making it difficult to allocate them.
After careful consideration, Fang Er's gaze fell upon the single category-specific refresh opportunity.
“System Sister, refresh, category: engineering~”
“Wait a moment!”
Halfway through the command, he seemed to recall something and continued with a mischievous grin.
“Category: TLC900 series!”
【Category specification failed, the number of products in this series is less than 20~】
The ideal was robust, but reality was skeletal, and the flame of hope was ruthlessly extinguished by the system~
This was quite awkward!
Speaking of which, which company produced the TLC900C1? It was too weak to even muster 20 products, damn it!
【Little brat, you think you can play games with me~】 The system's voice was full of disdain.
Fang Er remained silent, glancing at the nameplate on the TLC9001C1: Qinhuangdao Tonglian Heavy Industry~
Nice!
“Category specification: Qinhuangdao Tonglian Heavy Industry series products, refresh!”
【Refresh successful!】
“Hahahaha~”
Upon hearing this confirmation, Fang Er burst into laughter. After giving Chai Yue a loving kiss, he got up, put on his clothes, and ran out.
Chai Yue woke up from her sleep, looking at his departing back with confusion, completely unaware of what had happened.
Out in the backyard, he ducked into the study and could no longer contain himself, chuckling creepily.
Various specialized engineering equipment almost blinded him.
Besides the TLC9001C1, there were also large girder cranes, gantry cranes, tower cranes, and more. These were all, without exception, giants ranked among the best in China in later eras!
After exchanging them all, he did the third refresh.
It seemed his luck had run out, yielding only some ordinary general merchandise.
But it didn't matter anymore; with those engineering vehicles, Fang Er was content.
As a person, one shouldn't be too greedy, right?
【Little thief, hurry up!】
In his mind, the system's impatient voice came.
“Hiahiahia~ Little lady! Master is here~”
Fang Er grinned wickedly, then got up, closed the study door, sat back in his chair, and closed his eyes.
~~~~
Two hours later, he emerged from the study refreshed.
This method of stress relief that didn't harm the body was, to be honest, quite good~
Just then, Li Tai came running over in a hurry.
“Mountain Chief, finally found you!”
Fang Er looked at him in confusion: “Something wrong?”
Li Tai explained: “The gold prospecting ship was disassembled into over seven thousand parts, and it's giving me a headache. I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for all these days.”
“Can we go to other worlds? I want to bring myself over!”
“If I have a thousand or eight hundred of myself, I still don't believe I can’t figure it out!”
Fang Er: ……….
What was he thinking? Having a thousand or eight hundred Li Tais would cause chaos!
“Mountain Chief, can it be done? Give me an answer~” Li Tai was getting anxious.
He had an idea but couldn't implement it, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
“What are you looking for?” Fang Er asked curiously.
Li Tai solemnly explained: “I have a hunch that there must be something in the gold prospecting ship that records the magnetic frequency of gold, so as long as that thing is found, the working principle of the gold prospecting ship can be deciphered!”
“So, what I just said, can it be done?”
Gold magnetic field??
Fang Er was stunned for a moment, then asked, “Doesn’t gold have no magnetism?”
“How can it have no magnetism!” Li Tai retorted instantly.
“As long as it has an atomic structure, it must have magnetism!”
“Just because a magnet doesn't stick to it doesn't mean it has no magnetism.”
He paused here, grabbed his hair, and continued with great distress.
“Ah, I don't know how to explain it myself right now.”
“Perhaps it's due to the difference in the number of electrons in the atoms, or maybe it's due to a difference in frequency, or perhaps some other unknown reason.”
“In short, the magnetism and magnetic field of gold definitely exist!”
Fang Er was completely petrified after hearing these words.
What the heck?
It can be explained like this?
It seemed the system had also mentioned before that the gold prospecting ship could absorb gold, and it was related to magnetic fields?
