Alien Knights

　　 Listening to the cheers of the people in his ear, Todd looked at the flower pot in front of him, wiped his forehead with his hand, and wiped his sweat.

　　 Fortunately, things are going well.

　　 The flower pot in front of her eyes is a specially made utensil, which is divided into three interlayers: outer, middle, and inner. The inner layer is an upright copper pipe with small holes at the bottom ring; the part that connects the middle layer and the outer layer is all sealed and welded with iron sheets for stacking soil; the iron sheets are about one centimeter away from the flowerpot shell. A concealed outer layer is formed, with a hollow inside and a small hole at the bottom of the inner layer.

Before the formal preparations, Todd went to the beach to find a natural sponge called "Zoofiton", which is a simple multicellular marine animal with a honeycomb-like structure, tough and compact spicules, large pores, and fine distribution. It has a strong water absorption capacity. In previous ancient Rome, it was widely used as a scrub ball for bathing.

Dry this natural sponge in the shade and squeeze it, layer it into the bottom of the inner copper tube, put the buds and young leaves of the plants on top of the sponge, and then carefully spread the soil in the middle layer and above the inner layer. .

　　 During the performance, just pour water along the outer interlayer, and the water will flow into the bottom of the flower pot and be absorbed by the sponge through the small holes of the copper pipe. After the sponge expands, it pushes the buds and young leaves upward, penetrating through the thin soil, and it looks like it is "rapidly growing."

　　 As for the buds that meet water to produce small blue flowers, this is a little troublesome to prepare.

　　 1. The sphalerite is forged into zinc oxide in the air, and then reduced with carbon to obtain zinc powder.

2. Use iodine-containing table salt as a raw material for refining, and add water to mix it into a saturated solution; then pass a large amount of sulfur dioxide into the salt solution to reduce the high-valent iodine in the iodate; then add chloroform to the solution, from the mixed solution The elemental iodine is extracted; finally, the discolored upper layer is distilled in a distillation flask to obtain elemental iodine.

　　3. Use tweezers or a small wooden stick to dip the moist flour and apply it evenly to the inside of the flower bud.

　　 Fourth, mix a small amount of zinc powder and iodine flakes in equal proportions (this step is extremely critical and requires repeated experiments to determine the amount), stir evenly into a powder, seal it with wax paper, open it up, and put it into the bud.

　　 Make the above preparations. When water is poured into the flower buds, iodine and zinc will generate zinc iodide under the catalysis of the water, and release a lot of heat to open the petals bound by the flour. The high temperature will cause part of the iodine and water to evaporate into gas, which looks like the effect of "holy fog". Iodine vapor contaminates the white flour, which will make the latter turn blue.

　　 The trick of "rapid growth of plants" is not difficult, but the difficulty is the effect of "Holy Mist and Blossom" in the back.

　　 Fortunately, everything went well.

　　 Putting the white cloth on the flowerpot, Todd raised his hands to the people, their voices lowered, but the excitement on his face did not subside.

"Everyone, I have an idea." The priest held the cross on his chest with one hand and pointed to the sky: "Since the heavenly Father has given the blessing of "West Town", why don't we use this favor to improve our lives a little bit Woolen cloth?"

　　 People's eyes lit up, and they understood what the priest meant.

　　 But there are still cowardly believers who asked anxiously: "If you borrow God's love for personal gain, won't you be punished by God?"

Todd nodded, pretending to be meditative: "You are right, but if we use this gift to get a little bit of benefit by helping the most suffering brothers and sisters, we will not blame us if we want to come. ."

　　 Watching the priest turn his face to the old farmer Sassoon, some smart people in the audience probably guessed one or two.

　　 "I plan to set up a "Muxi Mutual Aid"."

　　 "Muxi Mutual Aid"?

　　 Hearing this new term, everyone looked confused.

　　 Todd clapped his hands to the stage, and the two catechumens carried a big basket onto the high stage. He took out something from the basket and showed it to everyone.

　　 That seems to be...

　　 Bones?

　　 To be precise, it seems to be the leg bones of a pigeon.

　　 "There are a total of one hundred holy bones, one per silver moon, anyone can buy it, and the number is unlimited."

　　 It takes a silver moon to buy a bone? You can buy a lot of these things with one bronze star. People with their brains full of question marks are waiting for the priest's next words.

"Anyone who bought the Holy Bone, their name, and the number of purchases will be registered in the church and become a member of the "Muxi Mutual Aid". The 100 Silver Moons from the sale of the Holy Bone will be used as a farmer in Mushi Town. The principal amount. The return they use the gift of Heavenly Father will be distributed proportionally according to the number of sacred bones of each person."

Seeing that many people in the audience were still confused, Todd sighed: "Let me give you an example, I spent a silver moon today to buy a holy bone. In the future, farmers in Muxi Town will use this The 100 silver months raised are used as the principal, and 200 silver months are earned, then I can be divided into two silver months."

　　 Most people understand, but more questions have been raised.

　　 "What if I want to sell the sacred bone after I bought it?"

　　 Todd: "Sacred Bone allows free trade, but the trader must be a resident of Mussey Town; and after the transaction is completed, he must go to the church to re-register."

　　 "After I buy it, how long will it take to return?"

　　 Todd: "It's hard to say the specific time. The first return should be within three months."

　　 "I want to buy ~www.readwn.com~ but the spare money in my home is less than a silver month..."

　　 Todd: "You can find your friends, share capital, and subscribe for a sacred bone. By the way, remember to find someone to give you how much money each, and make a notarization."

　　 At this time, a businessman in the crowd stood up, touched his head and asked: "I bought the holy bones and loaned the money to these farmers. If you lose, what should you do?"

After asking, people immediately looked at him with angry and contemptuous eyes, which made the businessman immediately realize that he had said something wrong: "Look at my mouth! How can you lose money when the Father gives the gift of business?" He finished speaking. He sat back in a jealous manner.

　　 Todd saw that the people had no more problems, he raised the bones in his hands, and said loudly, "Okay, then I announce that now the subscription for the "Music Mutual Fund" has officially started."

　　 The square fell silent, no one spoke.

　　 People in Muxi Town, although the talk was full of enthusiasm just now, when it's time to pay the money, you look at me and I look at you, no one dares to be this early bird.

　　 Todd sighed slightly, he also knew the difficulties of everyone in the audience. A silver moon doesn't seem to be much, but now when everyone is using money, where is there so much spare money. Besides, for this fresh "mutual aid" funding method, even with the previous "miracles" as a foreshadowing, coupled with their own verbal incitement, once people really calm down, the effect will naturally slowly decline.

　　 It seems that the first person to stand up is only oneself.

　　 Todd put down his bones, waiting to speak.

　　 Two voices under the stage sounded at the same time.

　　 "I want to buy ten!"

　　 "I will buy fifty."

　　 Todd looked at the sound, the one who wanted to buy ten was Karin, and the one who wanted to buy fifty was actually...Richel.
