Sang Fan did not lead Ye Chong out of the village, but towards the back of the village. Ye Chong had never been to the back of the village before. Ever since he arrived at the Sang Family Village, he had spent most of his time in the research lab, and did not survey the surrounding terrain. If this was in the past, Ye Chong would have thought it a fatal mistake.
Unlike the Five Galaxies, Ye Chong did not see a single idle person in the village. All the villagers seemed to be moving with vigor and vigor.
Sang Fan pointed to the entrance of a col in front of them and introduced, "That's the burial ground, there are many bones there. Are there any suitable for you, sir? "
The entrance to the col was not big, only able to fit two or three mechs side by side. However, it was wide enough for Sang Fan and Ye Chong.
As they entered the col, Ye Chong was shocked by the scene before him!
Mountains of bones! This was truly a mountain of bones. It reminded Ye Chong of the garbage mountains on the trash planet, except that this was a mountain of all kinds of bones.
Sang Fan explained, "The meat and fur of the wild beasts that we hunted can be used, but the bones are useless. However, there are too many of them, and it's not easy to dispose of them if we just throw them around. So, we might as well choose a place to dispose of them. Usually, no one comes here. Only some young people come here. "
Ye Chong had already recovered from the shock, and asked, "Why are we here?"
"These bones are hard, and many of them are brightly colored. Jewelry made from them will last for a long time. People have been using them as tokens of love since a long time ago, and this tradition has been passed down ever since. We call these ornaments as tokens of love. Every young person, regardless of gender, must learn to make tokens of love, to ask for a marriage. Without a token of love, it would be difficult to move someone's heart. " Sang Fan quickly added, "Tokens of love are very troublesome to make, it's all about grinding. The harder the bone used to make the pledge of love, the better. In the past, there was no lavagold in the village, so they had to find a grindstone to grind it bit by bit. A slightly complicated pledge of love often took several months, and the probability of success was very low. So, normally, no one would be willing to make a token of love unless they are truly in love with each other. "
Sang Fan's words reminded Ye Chong of Shang sighing in his ears, "These days, no matter where, girls are hard to get!"
Ye Chong suddenly turned to Sang Fan and asked, "Have you ever made a love token?"
Sang Fan's face turned red as he stammered, "Yes … yes."
Ye Chong was intrigued by Sang Fan's expression, and continued to ask, "Who is it for?"
Sang Fan's face, which was as red as a ripe persimmon, looked like it was about to bleed. His voice was as low as a mosquito's buzz. "It's Sang Ling."
Oh, no wonder Sang Ling looked at him with hostility when Sang Fan was injured. She was probably angry that he did not help earlier. So the two of them were a couple. Ye Chong was no longer the newbie he used to be after all these years of adventuring in the outside world.
However, understanding didn't mean that he agreed. Everyone had their own way of doing things. If Ye Chong could do it all over again, he would do it the same way.
Ye Chong turned his attention back to the mountain of bones. His usually calm eyes were now burning with passion. No skeleton carver would be able to remain calm in front of so many skeletons, and Ye Chong was no exception.
Ye Chong was not overjoyed by the number of skeletons, but by their quality. Ye Chong had seen more skeletons than he could remember. With his rich experience, he could now identify the quality of the skeletons at a glance. And in this mountain of bones, the quality of the skeletons had dazzled him, even though he was used to seeing all kinds of high-quality skeletons!
Heavens! What is this place? Ye Chong could not help but feel the urge to groan. Lavagold, non-linear cobalt, and countless other rare ores. Even the skeletons were the best of the best. It was as if the heavens were compensating the Sang family. They had suffered for so long, and now they were presented with treasures that many people would go crazy for.
Under high gravity, the skeletons of living things were much denser than in normal environments. That was why their physical properties were so outstanding. Ye Chong only understood this after a long time.
After picking a few suitable skeletons, Ye Chong and Sang Fan returned to the lab. Sang Fan was puzzled. What was the teacher doing with the skeletons? Could it be a love token too? He immediately rejected the idea. The teacher was such a cold person, how could he make a love token? After comparing the sizes of these skeletons, Sang Fan was even more convinced that this was an extremely absurd idea.
The first thing Ye Chong did when he returned to the lab was to make a few strange tools that Sang Fan found strange. These tools were made of lavagold.
What Ye Chong did next left Sang Fan and his assistants speechless.
Ye Chong took the self-made tools and began to work on the selected skeletons. The skeletons looked different in Ye Chong's hands. However, the strange shapes made them all look strange. They had discussed for a long time in private about what the teacher wanted to carve these bones into, but they still had no idea. But on one point, everyone's opinion was surprisingly unanimous, and that was that these things were definitely not decorations.
However, the teacher's skills made everyone jealous. The bones were modified by the teacher, and while the shapes were a little strange, they were all exquisite, and attracted everyone's attention. Even the village head, who walked into the lab and saw the half-finished products on the table, stopped and stared at them for a long time. If someone had the teacher's skills to make a love token, then wouldn't that be …
The few who had not finished the love token made up their minds. Once the teacher was done, they would shamelessly ask the teacher to teach them the art of carving. If they had the skill, the love token would be beautiful. It would be a great weapon for chasing girls, and the happiness of the rest of their lives would depend on it. However, no one dared to disturb the teacher now. Everyone was waiting for the teacher to finish his work. They were all very curious about the teacher's work.
The teacher's work was naturally extraordinary. As Ye Chong's assistants, these young people had a kind of blind admiration for Ye Chong.
Ye Chong finally stopped. In front of him were the results of his work from the past few days.
The moment that everyone had been waiting for was here. Knowing that Ye Chong had finished his work today, even the usually quiet Old Sang De came to the lab to see it with his own eyes. The village head was accompanied by Sang Pu, Sang Ling, and the rest. All eyes were on Ye Chong. The spacious room was silent.
Ye Chong had gone through every detail of the design countless times, and finally made sure that there were no mistakes. Ye Chong took a few deep breaths, and his expression turned serious. His hands moved like butterflies, picking up the parts quickly and accurately. He was confident. His movements were practiced, as if he had practiced them countless times. They were filled with a rhythm and rhythm that made one's heart palpitate.
Everyone in the room was shocked like never before. They did not know what Ye Chong was doing, but that did not stop them from feeling the intense visual impact of the whole process. Ye Chong's hands were as graceful as a magician's, flowing smoothly in everyone's mind. It was as if he was demonstrating the meaning of precision and proficiency.
Everyone stared at Ye Chong's nimble hands. The quiet room was now filled with the crisp clanking of the half-finished products. No one blinked. Everyone was curious, just what kind of perfect work would be born from these hands?
Ding! The last part was put in place. Ye Chong looked at the finished product with satisfaction. He was satisfied that he could make it this far, despite the lack of precision equipment. Even though he was mentally prepared, the hardness of these bones still exceeded his expectations. He had even used up quite a few lavagold tools.
In contrast to Ye Chong, everyone else in the room was disappointed. The final product was too unattractive. It was a huge egg made of bones of various colors. It was bald, and other than a few holes, there was nothing special about it.
"Sir, what is this?" Sang Fan asked the question that was on everyone's mind.
"An engine," Ye Chong answered simply.
Everyone in the room looked confused. The term "engine" was too foreign to them.
"It's the core of a mech," Ye Chong said.
Everyone immediately came to a realization, and the confusion and doubt in their eyes immediately disappeared, replaced by deep respect. To them, mechs represented power, the most powerful and mysterious power! One of the assistants, who was reaching for the engine, quickly retracted his hand.
Could it be, sir, that you want to build a mech? Those who were quick-witted immediately thought of this possibility. If that was the case, then wouldn't it be …
Some of them could not help but look overjoyed.
Ye Chong ignored them. He was thinking alone. This engine was a simplified version of the Destiny engine, using the mildstone that Ye Chong had just achieved a breakthrough in.
Now, it was time to put it to the test.
Ye Chong flipped open the lid and inserted a piece of mildstone that had been polished into a regular square shape into a groove in the engine. Ye Chong closed the lid and pressed a button. The engine hissed on the table. Several gusts of air blew out from the holes, which made Sang Fan and the others click their tongues in wonder.
The engine was running smoothly.
Ye Chong looked calm, but he clenched his fists tightly. It was a success!
