Scientific Travel

“I’m a jinx.” Chi Lin grasped Deng Yin’s hands that were holding his wrists with his right hand, but he didn’t use any force, just a loose grip. “I said we would meet again someday, and I will definitely meet again someday.”

"Really?" Deng Yin's free hands grasped the hands that Chi Lin was holding. The scene looked strange; it didn't seem like a confrontation, but rather rather comical.

"What if I kill you today? Would we never see each other again?" Deng Yin said with feigned regret, "What can we do? You're not working anymore."

Chi Lin smiled, not afraid that Deng Yin would make a move.

"You won't kill me."

"Oh?" Deng Yin released the hands that were holding Chi Lin's hands, and the next second, those hands appeared on Chi Lin's neck. "Now? Do you still think I won't kill you?"

Deng exerted some force, and Chi Lin's face quickly turned red.

"You...cough cough cough...I...still think...cough cough cough...you won't kill me."

"You've got some nerve." Deng Yin released Chi Lin.

Chi Lin was panting heavily, his coughs profusely demonstrating just how strong Deng Yin had been.

Deng Yin was taught from a young age that human life is of utmost importance. Although he had blood on his hands after arriving here, it was all an accident.

If you were to ask her to commit murder willingly...

Unless the other party poses a threat to her life.

“I won’t kill you, but that doesn’t mean I won’t make you suffer,” Deng Yin said. “If you want to suffer less, stay away from me.”

Despite the clearly threatening tone, Chi Lin seemed oblivious. "All living beings suffer; who can escape it?"

"I will come back to find you. I hope you can live to see that day."

Deng Yin stared in the direction Chi Lin had left, lost in thought.

......

Deng Yin wasn't going to let this little incident affect her mood; she hadn't forgotten why she had to go home so early.

Electric bikes can be ridden on both land and water, but they cannot carry passengers on waterways.

She also needs to take Gou Dan back with her.

Since she was going to do it, she might as well make a big one. Deng Yin didn't have many cypress metal sheets left, so she opened 200 more cans and planned to make a larger boat.

Building the hull is not difficult; the difficulty lies in making the ship sail on its own.

If you had to row such a long way yourself, it would take at least ten days to half a month to row back, and you would have to row non-stop without sleep.

Deng Yin had never worked on a ship, but he had worked on an engine.

This kind of thing isn't difficult to do, but the difficulty lies in the fact that Deng Yin had no materials whatsoever.

In the past, when she repaired something for others, the other party would provide the materials, and only old equipment needed to have its materials replaced. Now, the equipment can be constructed using brainpower. As long as the physical form is changed, a broken thing can be restored to its original state.

The engine is embedded in the hull and cannot interact with the sun or moon. There are two ways to make it run continuously.

One type is inlaid with jade energy stones, which contain powerful energy. A jade energy stone the size of a baby's fist is enough to provide the engine with energy for hundreds of millions of years.

Another type involves carving water energy runes on the hull. As the name suggests, water energy runes are runes that can provide energy when there is water.

However, to inscribe a water energy talisman, one must possess strong mental strength and endurance.

When people are born, a chip is implanted in their brain. This chip has many functions; it represents a person's identity and plays a significant role in their future life and work.

For example, Deng Yin's jade bracelet can only be opened with mental power.

She can use it now because the system helped her remove the restrictions on the jade bracelet.

Basically, people use mental energy in everything they do, and mental energy is entirely controlled by chips.

Using mental energy to create things can save time, improve accuracy, and most importantly, provide mental empowerment.

Many things, without spiritual empowerment, are merely aesthetically pleasing but serve no practical purpose.

For example, a water-powered talisman, without spiritual empowerment, would just look like a string of patterns.

Anything that comes with the word 'talisman' must have great endurance.

Chips can give people the ability to remember things they see at a glance, and they can draw them out.

The same goes for talismans. To put it simply, they are nothing more than a string of patterns. Even if the process is complicated, it is not difficult to draw them after seeing them once.

What's remarkable is that it must be drawn in one stroke.

Drawing talismans requires complete concentration, maximizing mental energy.

Mobilizing one's mental energy is very tiring; a score of 10 or 80% is manageable, but very few people can continuously mobilize their mental energy for more than an hour.

The larger the object to be carved, the larger the symbols to be carved on it. For the boat that Deng Yin made, it would take at least an hour to carve the whole thing.

Since we can't make an engine that can run continuously for a long time, we can settle for something that can run continuously for a whole day.

Deng Yin plans to build an external engine, which has the advantage of being able to be disassembled even when on a ship.

It will take a few more days to complete the hull; it's not too late to work on the engine after the hull is finished.

While buying materials for engine manufacturing, Deng Yin also paid a month's rent for his house and shop.

Judging by the time, the heat wave should be almost over. Deng Yin only paid for one month's worth of cakes this time, and regardless of whether the rainstorm comes next month, she doesn't plan to sell cakes anymore.

The houses in Shimu City are really different; even the building materials store is three stories high.

Deng Yin visited three different material stores, but still couldn't buy all the necessary items.

Forget it, I'll just do it myself, it'll just take more time.

When Deng Yin arrived home, Gao Ruizhe had already prepared dinner.

He must have just finished; there were still beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Next time you cook, put the kite in the kitchen," Deng Yin said. "I'm not hot, so you don't need to keep it in my room all the time."

This was the first time Gao Ruizhe had felt that Deng Yin was responding to him, and he chuckled to himself, "It's okay, I'm not hot either."

The weather has been getting hotter these days, with temperatures in the thirties after sunset and reaching as high as fifty or sixty degrees during the day.

Nowadays, almost every slightly larger shop in the city has an ice room to lower the temperature; otherwise, no customers would be willing to come.

Those young masters and ladies no longer go shopping; they just order their servants to buy whatever they want. Going out in this sweltering weather would be unbearably hot.

Now that Deng Yin is back, the three of them can no longer sleep on the floor in her room. The main house is the largest, so Deng Yin let the three of them live there together, and Feng Yuan is also kept in the main house.
