"How about it? Let me dress you up beautifully?"
When the package expired in two days, Shen Le took off the plastic wrap, rinsed and washed it, and thoroughly tossed the dough on the outside of Brass Burner and in the belly of the burner.
After this cleaning, the burner completely changed its appearance:
When I wrapped the dough, it was still a lump full of patina and couldn't be turned around. After washing off the dough, it turned around beautifully and turned into a shiny, shiny piece!
The wick of Little Oil Lamp barely lit up, indicating its existence. Shen Le laughed and flicked its outer shell:
"How is it? Do you like it?"
[Humph!]
Shen Le is still laughing. Ever since he was stuffed with dough and wrapped up tightly, Little Oil Lamp has not been very happy. He doesn't light up, doesn't make a sound, and pretends to be dead the whole time.
Now, are you finally willing to speak out?
It seems that it has been taken care of beautifully and there is not a trace of rust on its body. It is still very happy!
What a arrogant little guy...
After cleaning the burner, Shen Le picked up the brass utensil in his hand and inspected it carefully. Well, there was only a little residual patina left, and the internal gears rotated sensitively without any sluggishness.
The only additional trouble was that a thin crack appeared on the burner, which was supposed to be hidden under the rust.
Okay, let's keep polishing!
Shen Le picked up Electric Grinder, wrapped Sandpaper in circles, and worked hard to polish the surface of the burner. Pieces of rust flew out, and from the bottom of Shen Le's heart, Little Oil Lamp's exclamations and laughter kept coming:
[It's so itchy! Hee hee hee, it's so itchy! Shen Le What are you doing! Stop tickling me!]
Fall!
This job is impossible!
Shen Le really threw the tool. Not only did he throw it, he also warned Little Oil Lamp:
"Do you want to remove the rust? If you want it to be clean and beautiful, just don't make a sound! Otherwise,
Just wear the patina all over your body, since you are the ugly one, not me!"
[Ming--..--Bad guy-.--I'm really itchy! The itch is on me, not on you----·
?
Little Oil Lamp complained loudly. After complaining for a few words, the silvery white light floated outward and disappeared.
Maybe it's because you don't feel the itch anymore when you leave your container?
Only one person, Shen Le, was left to work honestly and hard. He had to polish off the rust and weld the cracks. After welding the cracks, he had to smooth the solder joints.
After smoothing, it was then sanded and polished. Even with power tools doing most of the work, these tasks took another Shen Le two or three days.
When the burner turned into a shiny one, Shen Le felt that his face and hands had changed from shiny to Black Lacquer paint--···
[Is it finally done? Can I pretend?]
Little Oil Lamp's light ball floated back again at some point, and stuck to the side of Shen Le, asking around. Shen Le raised his hand and patted it:
"Don't worry! There is still one last step left!"
[Then hurry up! Hurry up!]
The light group buzzed and buzzed impatiently, flying around Shen Le like a wasp. Figure eight, S
Shape, irregular Brownian motion jumps.
Shen Le was so annoyed that he stretched out his hand to grab it several times but failed to catch it. He had to pretend not to see it and lowered his head to do his own thing:
Pick up a piece of Cork Gasket, draw a circle on it according to the pre-measured radius. Then change it to Compass Cutter, turn it once, turn it twice, and the appropriate Cork Gasket will be processed!
This Cork Gasket is inserted into the lid of the oil can, and it fits perfectly. Cut a piece of cotton wick.
Insert it into the burner, twist it slightly, and you will see the wick rising slowly.
Then came the lampshade, frame, handle, all assembled like building blocks. Finally, a dark, yet clean and beautiful coal lamp, Oil Lamp, stood steadily on the table.
Shen Le asked the landlord for a funnel and poured in 100 ml of kerosene. Press the lighter and light the wick -
[I'm bright! I'm bright! Shen Le, I'm so bright!]
Little Oil Lamp shouted happily:
[I haven't been this bright for a long time! I haven't been this bright for a long time, a long time, a long time--·]
As he yelled, his voice became softer and lower, gradually taking on the tone of crying. Little bits of silvery white light flew away, as if he was crying with joy, but also as if he had accumulated years of grievance and sadness.
Shen Le sighed softly.
Alas, how many years has it been since this Little Oil Lamp was lit?
Five years?
Ten years?
Or even more?
Poor child...
A child who has no way to communicate with others and can only use occasional tantrums and power outages to attract others' attention--.
Even so, it has always been covered in dust. The owner would rather light other coals Oil Lamp or light candles, and just keep abandoning it in the corner...
"Well, you have repaired it now, and you can light it very brightly." Shen Le gently touched the outer shell of Xiaomei Oil Lamp. He put down the glass cover and picked up the handle:
"It's really, really bright--"
In the eyes of ordinary people, this coal Oil Lamp is just a little brighter than usual. If ordinary coal Oil Lamp has the brightness of a five-watt incandescent lamp, this coal Oil Lamp can have at most ten watts;
However, after opening the Spirit Eye, the light of the coal Oil Lamp illuminated the entire room. From the ceiling to the floor, every corner was clearly visible, and even the yard outside the room was clearly illuminated.
Compared with when Xiaomei Oil Lamp first arrived in Shen Le's hands, the silver-white aura only had a layer of intensity on its body. This time, it was more than ten times stronger.
Why can it rise ten times? What did I do to make it so much stronger than before?
Shen Le Use Spirit Eye and observe carefully. After a long time, I finally got some clues:
When Little Oil Lamp first came into my hands, the silvery white breath was on it, not a little bit, but not at all. Although it could flow, it was intermittent in many places;
After being repaired by myself, those silvery auras penetrated deeply from the outside to the inside, covering every part.
Every detail is dyed very evenly and flows without any obstruction.
It's like a human-shaped Gundam. The power supply lines and conductive optical fibers inside are broken in many ways, but only two are intact, and smoke is coming from all sides.
Thank God if such a Gundam can move two steps, I can only dream of how much combat power it can unleash.
After the repair, everything that needs to be connected is connected, and information and energy can flow normally. Will the power exerted increase significantly?
"And I think--·..Copper Fragment's enlightenment is also of great help...
Shen Le pulled out Copper Fragment and looked down. After this glance, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Why are you getting bigger and bigger--."
Copper Fragment, which is half the size of a palm, became palm-sized after repairing Ink Marker. After repairing Little Oil Lamp, it grew another length, extending by a full knuckle in length.
The shape also changed a bit. This time it was extended, not evenly pushed forward, from a square,
It becomes a rectangle; instead, the two sides are extended and the center does not move.
Extended to the end, it turns out to be a rough "∩" shape!
"What on earth is this thing? It seems to be a fragment --- but what kind of bronze vessel is it? Which part of it is it?"
Shen Le held it in my hand and looked left and right. I thought it looked familiar, but I couldn't figure out what it was:
""I am engaged in the restoration of ancient buildings! I am not engaged in the restoration of bronzes!
What is the original shape of this Copper Fragment? I really can't recognize it!"
Besides, even if someone is engaged in bronze restoration, they will pull out seven, eight, ten, or dozens of bronze fragments from the soil at one time.
Some are crooked, some are broken, some are deformed, and some are so rotten that you can only recognize them as bronze. Then, the repair teacher will select and try out these crooked things little by little to figure out what they are. Take a piece out alone, and it's hard for others to recognize ---"
Shen Le sighed, shook his head, and shook off the inquisitive thoughts. This Copper Fragment, if you repair an old object, it will grow a part; if you repair an old object again, it will grow a part.
As long as you persist and keep practicing, maybe it will grow on its own?
More importantly·
Holding Copper Fragment in your hand, it already feels heavy, and the palm of your hand is sinking a little under the pressure. There is one more raised stroke on Copper Fragment, although you can't tell what the word is.
"If you continue like this, do you want me to use you as a goggles or a breastplate? Then you won't be able to wear it close to your body! Let's discuss it one by one. Can we make it a little smaller?"
The Copper Fragment in his hand squirmed for a while. Then, in Shen Le's surprised and distraught eyes, it actually shrank back bit by bit, bit by bit---·
Copper Fragment length shrinks from the knuckles to the palm, even the lifeline is exposed:
The width of Copper Fragment has also shrunk a bit in the middle. Nearly one finger's width is exposed from the left palm edge and the right palm edge.
As for the weight, Shen Le was not weighed just now and there is no data comparison, but it should be a lot lighter?
Otherwise, if the volume changes and the weight remains unchanged, the pressure on the palm of the hand will definitely double!
It will really shrink!
No, this is not the key. The key is that it can really understand my words and can really communicate with me. No, this is not the key. The key is----·
Shen Le felt that his mind was confused. He subconsciously pressed Copper Fragment, poked it, pinched it and shook it:
"Hey, can you get bigger?"
The next moment, Copper Fragment slowly but firmly spread out between his index and middle fingers, and soon touched his tiger's mouth.
Very good, it can really become bigger or smaller. As for the limit of change, Shen Le plans to test it in his own Old Mansion after he goes back:
What if it changes significantly?
"Big, big, big, big" means big enough to hold the sky? "Little, little, little, little" means small enough to fit in your ears or eyes?
At that time, there was no doctor on site to help him remove his ears!
Shen Le stuffed Copper Fragment back with satisfaction. He stood up with Oil Lamp and went downstairs step by step:
"? What's going on?"
The crowd was noisy. More than half of the people, old and young, came out and formed a semi-circle, crowded at the entrance of the village. The old electrician Xiang Guoqing and the young electrician Xiang Yang stood side by side, standing in the most conspicuous position, constantly maintaining order:
"Stand back!"
"Stay back!"
"Don't interfere with other people's work!"
What happened?
Shen Le quickly squeezed in to take a look.
Under the telephone pole, four bright yellow construction vehicles were lined up, which was larger than the last time the technicians came.
Two pickup trucks and a bucket truck were transporting people and goods to a high place next to the telephone pole. In the dim night, it was hard to tell what they were.
Another car has "Mobile Transformer Vehicle" written on it, with a bunch of cables connected to it, and the staff are busy around it...
"Hey, what are you doing?"
