Solar Douluo

Seeing this piece of Hanxin Iron Essence, Qian Yao was completely shocked that such metal actually existed in this world.

This is a piece of azure metal crystal, existing in a regular shape like extremely pure crystal.

This piece of metal no longer exudes a cold breath all the time. Although it is much weaker than when it was opened, it still makes people feel like when they opened the freezer.

Qian Yao couldn't hold back and tried to lift the Hanxin Iron Essence with his hands. This Iron Essence only occupies a very small part of the big stone, less than one-twentieth, and it doesn't weigh as much as the whole piece. It's so heavy, only about 200 kilograms in total, but according to the original book's description that 2 kilograms is enough to make the Buddha's Angry Tanglian, this weight is completely enough.

Maintaining the breathing method, Qian Yao lifted the stone, which still weighed close to 6 tons, and then put the stone back into the soul guide and placed it with the ice-attribute herbs and ice marrow that Qian Daoliu had given him. together.

Everything is over, the next step is to find the location of the building.According to the original story, Lou Gao had an apprentice named Silong, who owned a famous shop in the central area, but he had no interest in this guy, so it was better to go directly to Lou Gao.

It was getting late, so Qian Yao thought of going back to the house to rest for a while, and practice while the afternoon sun was still strong enough.

Sit cross-legged and enter meditation. Red energy emerges from the whole body and begins to absorb the gathered sunlight and soul power like a sponge.The soul ring also appeared, its color getting darker and darker, and its age rapidly increased.

Three hours later, it was time for dinner. I made something to eat, and then came to the left wing, which was decorated as a study room and placed all kinds of books of my own.

Qian Yao sat on the desk and chair in the study room, and then took out a stack of thick, well-made paper from the soul guide ring. On it, page by page, he drew the overall design of the bicycle that he had drawn during the half-month journey. Drawings and processing drawings of parts.

There are two versions in total, one is the 24-inch version that adapts to his current height, and the other is the 26-inch version.

Each version of the design drawing is more than 30 pages thick. Each page contains three-dimensional renderings and three views, with the exact length of each place marked down to the millimeter.

Then there are the parts processing drawings.Including the frame, front fork, bottom bracket, pedals, crank, chain, etc.

The most laborious part is the design of the front fork and the diagram of the bearing. Even for the simplest bearing, it took Qianyao three drawings to explain one by one how to assemble the bearing and produce the components.

Of course, there are still many things that I don't understand about materials science, and I need help from people like Lou Gao. After all, Qian Yao is not completely familiar with what kind of good materials in the world can better adapt to this design.

Generally speaking, the assembled bicycle uses the simplest spring shock-absorbing front fork, and then omits the gear change and adopts a lower transmission ratio, which can make it easier to cross even mountainous terrain.

The handle is made of the butterfly handle that I liked most in the previous life, so your hands will not feel particularly sore when traveling long distances.

The frame is specially designed with a hollow triangular shape to maintain strength and eliminate the need for frequent parts replacement and maintenance.

The tires are considered to be solid mountain tires, which is no problem considering Qianyao’s power.

These were detailed design drawings of each part, totaling nearly a hundred pages of drawings. Although the second large version was drawn much faster, it also took Qianyao almost all of his travel time.

He read his manuscript again, knocked it on the table twice, and put it back into the ring.

I looked at the map of Gengxin City again. There was no very detailed record of where there were better places to eat. I was a little disappointed. Qianyao couldn't help it and went out again. This time, my goal was exactly what was marked on the map, Gengxin. The city's auction house.

After leaving the door and looking at the map, it became increasingly prosperous, with more and more people, and the costumes of pedestrians became more and more gorgeous and high-end.

Qian Yao didn't care about that at all and walked directly to the auction venue.

Soon, we came to a quite tall building. This building was a classic classical British style building, with colored broken glass windows, a huge spire, and a doorway at the entrance below.

There is a huge red carpet spread on the ground from the doorway, with several gorgeous carriages parked on both sides.

Qian Yao ignored these carriages and walked through the doorway under the surprised and disdainful eyes of the people next to him. He followed the signs and arrived at the auction house.

At the entrance, there was a well-dressed female soul master in her 30s who looked like a child, Qianyao, and was wearing the tattered clothes of an adventurer.

"Child, you are not here, get out quickly!" At this time, the female soul master saw a person in Chinese clothes coming from behind, so she had to put away her original curse words and try to be as gentle and polite as possible to chase Qian Yao away. .

Qian Yao glanced at her and sighed, then a flash of light appeared on his hand, and a card worth 100 million gold soul coins appeared. It was shining with gold and had the logo of Wuhun Palace printed on it.

The female soul master had never seen such a card before, and she was a bit arrogant. She wanted to take it over to take a look, but Qian Yao was not angry. She just dodged the hand that the female soul master extended, and then deliberately put the Wuhun Palace logo on her hand. He waved it in front of his face to confirm that the female soul master had seen it, and put the card away.

The female soul master was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this was a distinguished and important customer. She quickly apologized to Qian Yao with a ninety-degree bow, and then led Qian Yao into the second-class private room of the auction house with fear.As for the first-class private rooms, only powerful people such as the Bishop of Wuhun Palace can enter by default.

Qian Yao didn't want to expose his identity just for a fun auction, so there was no need.

After entering the private room, the service staff thoughtfully handed out clothes that concealed one's identity. Because the items being auctioned were relatively precious things, it was natural to ensure the identity and safety of the guests here.

In the second-class private room, after closing the door, Qian Yao took a look. The higher storage and transportation position here is different from the rows below. This position is in the visual blind spot of the seats below, which can ensure that the identity is not exposed, and There is a window of just the right size to clearly see the auction items.

There are some fruit drinks prepared, and there is a comfortable atmosphere and space. It can be said that the service is very attentive.

The service staff handed over the auction process and time chart. Qianyao took a look and found that the auction would not start in about an hour.

Feeling a little impatient, Qian Yao simply sat cross-legged on a soft chair that was a little too big for him and started practicing.

Qian Yao didn't know how much time had passed before he heard the bell of his life, "Boom!"

Then suddenly, a very beautiful female soul master quickly walked up to the auction table downstairs in the box, and then the already bright lights became even more dazzling.Tables covered with red cloth were pushed up one by one, containing items waiting to be auctioned.

Soon, less than 5 minutes later, the seats below were filled with a lot of people, and the auction started with a slight delay.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the Gengxin City Auction House. I am your auctioneer today!" The female auction soul master preached passionately, speaking as loudly as possible so that everyone could hear it clearly.

After another long and passionate speech, it was finally the turn of the first auction item.

As two staff members came up and lifted the red cloth on the first display stand, a bracelet-like thing was displayed, facing the crowd below at a 45-degree angle.

"Everyone, please take a look! This is a storage soul guide bracelet, which we found among the ruins of the ancients. As we all know, the manufacturing technology of space soul guides has been almost lost, especially the storage soul guides in large spaces. . This bracelet has two gemstones, each with about two cubic meters of storage space. The starting price is 5 gold soul coins! Each increase in price must not be less than 5000 gold soul coins."

Huo Hong introduced it passionately and emotionally, and it felt like listening to a primary school student from Qian Yao's previous life reading the text.

The bracelet on the platform is about 4 centimeters wide.There are two red gemstones inlaid on one diameter of the ring. The entire bracelet is dark green and the material is not particularly good. After all, the main selling point is storage.

"Start!" Fiery Red yelled.

"Fifty-five thousand!" someone from the seat below shouted,

After a while, someone raised the price again. After six rounds of price increases, the price rose to [-] gold soul coins, and was finally photographed by a bearded businessman.Qian Yao didn't bid, he just watched quietly because he was not interested.

After the bearded man was photographed, a staff member immediately handed him over, and then the auction continued.

The next auction item is an exquisite cup. It is said to be made of precious minerals with water attributes. It can improve the taste of what you drink. It is said to have the effect of increasing the feeling of water attribute soul masters practicing. Long-term use can slightly improve the water quality. The training effects of attribute soul masters.

Qian Yao had a dark look on his face as soon as he heard the introduction of this thing. Good guy, isn't this a health product?It's still the kind of useless health product that seems to have more psychological effects.

This cup actually sold for a high price of 3500 gold soul coins. I really don’t know what these people were thinking.

Soon, four more items were auctioned that Qian Yao thought were of little use. The fifth item was more peculiar. When the red cloth was lifted, Qian Yao actually saw two rough metal stones, and they were inside. Made of extremely pure metal.

The color of the metal turned out to be black, which was different from the dullness of black iron. It shone with metallic luster and was surprisingly bright.

Huo Hong didn't know how to introduce it. After reading the manuscript, he still said: "This auction is a strange metal. It is different from other metals. Its melting point is frighteningly high. Our staff tried their best. It cannot even reach its smelting temperature. And this strange raw metal, as the temperature rises, its toughness, elasticity, hardness, etc. will become larger and larger. As long as it does not reach the melting point, it is almost impossible to forge."

After reciting a long list of words, Huo Hong also found this thing unbelievable. He couldn't help but look back at the two stones, and then continued: "Because it cannot be processed, I will transfer it to the destined person. The starting price is 3 gold soul coins. Each time the price increases, No less than 5 gold soul coins."

After saying this, there was silence. For the bidders downstairs, 3 gold soul coins was too extravagant and wasteful to buy something that was not known to be useful. Today was a small auction upstairs. There are only a handful of people, and they basically come with a purpose and don’t just buy things they don’t like.

But Qian Yao was moved when he saw this thing. The melting point is high, so it's not a problem. The sun will take care of it.And because it gets stronger the higher the temperature, it is extremely suitable to be used as his weapon or tool.

But Qian Yao was not in a hurry to bid immediately because he wanted to see if anyone made a bid and try to buy at the lowest price.

Sure enough, after 5 minutes, no one bid. Just when Huo Hong on the stage thought that this strange thing was going to fail again and started counting down, Qian Yao directly bid a low price of 3.

"3." Qian Yao shouted in a more childish voice.

Then he scolded in a low voice with a faked deeper voice: "You kid!"

After waiting for a while, Huo Hong thought it was really the child who shouted by mistake. Without confirming, Qian Yao shouted again in a rough voice: "Thirty thousand!"

The voice came from the box, and Huo Hong finally confirmed.

"Once in thirty thousand."

"..."

"3 million twice"

"..."

"Thirty thousand three times,...deal!"

Huo Hong felt that he was lucky today, with more commissions than he thought he would have.

About half a minute later, a staff member delivered two stones directly to Qian Yao's room and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Qian Yao stopped him.

"Can you help me find out where Master Lou Gao is?"

Qian Yao made the request straight to the point, because he believed that the auction house should have this channel to contact the master craftsman Lou Gao and know the location of his mobile iron castle at this time.

"Sir, please wait a moment. We need to ask our supervisor for instructions on this matter." The service staff was stunned for a moment, then politely said, opened the door and left.

After about half a minute, a tall, thin middle-aged man came in and stood at the door.

"Sir, Master Lou Gao's situation is not a secret, but you need to pay a fee to buy some information from us. Our bank has always been honest and clear in settling accounts." After saying that, the middle-aged man bowed. , but his attitude was obviously not as fearful as the person just now.

"Well, there's no problem with the fee, as long as it's reasonable. I'll also pay for the stone. Please give me some information."

After Qian Yao finished speaking, he got down from the chair with his back to the supervisor, and inadvertently revealed the Spirit Hall Elder's Order for Contacting Ju Ghost Douluo around his waist.

The supervisor was obviously someone who had seen the world. When he saw the token, he understood that Qian Yao's identity was not simple, and he broke into a sweat immediately.I quickly pushed it down and got ready to go.

Qian Yao waited for 2 minutes. The supervisor came back and brought a scroll, which recorded the walking route of Master Lou Gao's iron castle in Gengxin City, as well as the current approximate location of the building.

The supervisor did not dare to ask for a price, but Qian Yao took the initiative to pay 3 gold soul coins for the stone and 150 gold soul coins for the information, which was considered very high.

After finishing everything, Qianyao drank the last sip of the drink, then accepted the two ores in the storage ring, put on his adventurer cloak suit, and walked out of the auction house with a swagger.
