Moonshine made me blind to this pyramid scheme (BL)

Moonshine made me blind to this pyramid scheme (BL)

Mani had a lot of secrets. Hiding in his office, he pretended to be someone he was not until his safe space disappeared in a day. Coworkers that he ignored for years pulled him along to participate in saving their world. None of them knew what they were doing, yet they marched forward together. Once out of his shell Mani stepped into the greatest adventure of his life. (Included: mature topics of young adults self discovery, middle age identity crisis, and senior citizen moonshine addiction. Consider yourself warned.) *** Mani swirled pink liquid in his cup "This is called a moonshine right? Moonshine.. it should not make us blind right?" he drank it while still pondering pros and cons of drinking it in their current situation. "Well, did not make me blind," Yax offered his expert opinion "and I've been pilfering it from my dad since like.." he really could not remember, seemed like forever already. He reached to get another bottle and tumbled all the empty ones to the ground. Cid pulled him back by his shoulder "Sit down, I'll do it." he refilled Yax's cup on the right and Mani's cup on the left, then filled his own in the middle. With closed eyes, he enjoyed strawberry aroma wafting up from this holy drink. Mani bravely emptied his cup "Did we really saw it back there" he whispered from left "it was so much bigger than.." he trailed off in search of proper example. "Yep, we saw it" Yax's answer came from the right "it was absolutely huge." Mani leaned over Cindy and looked at Yax seriously "Do you think we will need magic to move it?" He did bring along his beads. Yax also leaned over to give his most serious answer "Naah, it should have an engine somewhere in there to move it. I heard" he looked around carefully and whispered so only Mani could hear "my dad said it's technology so ancient that it was sealed away, to keep it safe. It's better than magic." At the other side of their campfire, Ivory huffed while trying to snatch last bottle of holy moonshine from Jone who gently pushed him back while seriously stating "All technology at certain point starts resembling magic to those who do not understand it." "Hear, hear" Blaze confirmed from his spot on the ground with one hand waving up and showing a peace sign for some reason. Next to him, twins were out and snoring already. Mani pursed his lips and looked up into the sky. He could not see any real moonshine, leaves blocked the sky, but it should still be up there somewhere. He still hoped to get some magic, it would be awesome to get some real superpowers. He hiccuped, while leaning on Cindy next to him. Well, he kinda did have some already, or those do not count? Yax leaned fully on Cid, snuggling. He had to admit some parts were rather mystical. Like this holy potion. Or Mani. Mani was most definitely something magical. But he is not going to say it. And no one can know what he thinks to himself. He grinned, satisfied by himself and his skill to keep secrets. Squished between two drunks, Cid rolled his eyes, there goes Yax, spilling the beans to whoever wants to listen his 'secret thoughts'. Not like anyone was sober enough to pay any attention. "Time to end this party." Cid said while standing up and dragging Yax towards the tent he shared with Ivory. "Tomorrow is another day where we have to rise up and do our best to save the world." Even though he knew that all they were saving is themselves. And their friends. Well, that is his whole world, really. The forest was silent, darkness was endless, beasts were hiding. With closed eyes and half asleep, Blaze was sure that he can hear gods above laughing, louder and louder from that abyss they call home. ...___...

Blowing Principle
The principle of bleachings was to make objects lose their color through the oxidisation properties of bleaches. Different types of bleaches had different principles. The principle of the bleaching-powder was that the bleaching-powder would produce hypochloric acid when it came into contact with water. The hypochloric acid could catalyze the coloring matter, thus achieving the purpose of the bleaching-powder. The principle of hydrogen dioxide was that hydrogen dioxide was a strong oxidiser. It could destroy the " chromophore " inside the organic color substance and cause it to lose its original color. The principle of the absorption bleachings was that the substance had a large surface area, which could absorb the dye and make the substance fade. Other bleaches such as sulfur dioxide and ClO2 had similar principles. In general, bleaches change the color of objects or fade them through an oxidization reaction.

Appreciation of the Pyramid
The Pyramid was one of the representative works of ancient Egyptian civilization and one of the most well-preserved and famous ancient buildings in the world. It was built about 450 years ago by the order of the Pharaoh Anatoliya Isis to erect an eternal monument for his dynasty. The unique shape of the pyramid was made up of three independent basic parts: the base, the body, and the tip. The base of the tower was rectangular and gradually reduced in height, while the body and the tip of the tower were conical and of different heights. The construction of the pyramid used various techniques and materials, including clay, stone, bricks, etc., to ensure its sturdiness and durability. The interior of the pyramid was very spacious and layered with various architectural structures and decorations, including murals, carvings, windows, and doors. In addition, the exterior of the pyramid was also decorated with sculptures and hieroglyphic characters to express the rule and power of the Pharaoh. As a masterpiece of ancient architecture, the pyramid had extremely high artistic value and cultural significance. Its height, stability, and durability made it an important heritage of human civilization, attracting many historians, archaeologists, and tourists to visit and explore.

Pyramid Material
The main construction materials of the pyramid included stone, concrete, wood, brass, metal, and porcelain. During the New Kingdom period, the builders of the pyramids began to use a stone called granite because it had extremely high compression strength and wear resistance, and was stronger and more durable than limestone. In addition, the construction of the pyramid required other materials to make it stable. One of the important materials was concrete, which was used to fill the cavity inside the pyramid or as a structural filling, increasing the stability of the pyramid and helping to share the pressure exerted by the stones above. In general, the construction of the pyramids demonstrated the wisdom and technical level of the ancient Egyptian people.

The Pyramid of Menkaure
The Pyramid of Menkaure was an Egyptian pyramid near Cairo. Together with the Pyramid of Giza and the Pyramid of Kafra, they were known as the Three Great Pyramid of Giza. It was the tomb of Menkaure, the Pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt. It was built in the 26th century B.C. It was 65.5 meters high, 103.4 meters high, and had a slope of 51°20 '25 ". The Pyramid of Menkaure was the only known pyramid in Egypt that was built with granite. It was the smallest of the three Great Pyramid of Giza, only one-tenth the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The internal structure of the Menkaure Pyramid was complicated, including the tomb and the temple. At present, Egyptian archaeologists were working hard to restore the pyramid to its original state, which was known as the " Project of the Century." However, the search results did not provide any specific information about the Pyramid of Menkaure.

Principle of typhoon eye
The eye of a typhoon was a special area in the center of the typhoon. The formation principle was that the wind inside the typhoon rotated counterclockwise, causing the air in the center to rotate. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation and the wind force rotating toward the center balanced each other, resulting in a windless phenomenon within dozens of kilometers of the typhoon center. In addition, the air in the eye area of the typhoon sank and warmed up, causing the clouds to dissipate and the rain to disperse. The weather was clear.

The principle of reducing bleacher
The principle of reducing bleaches was to make use of the reduction effect of the dye to fade. The color of organic matter was produced by the color groups contained in its molecules, and the color groups contained unsaturated bonds. The reducing bleaches release hydrogen atoms, causing the saturated bonds contained in the coloring base to become single bonds, and the organic matter would lose its color. This kind of bleacher can make the coloring in food decompose and fade through reduction.

The Principle of Boiling Qi
According to the information you provided, it seems that you want to understand the principle of "Qi Refinement", but this term does not appear in the given context. If you are referring to the word 'compressor', I can provide you with the relevant information. The air conditioner was a mechanical device that raised the pressure of a gas from a low pressure to a high pressure. A turbine usually consists of a rotating wheel (or a valve), which uses rotation (or reciprocation) to compress the gas. The principle of the compression machine was to increase the pressure by reducing the volume of the gas. In the turbine, gas enters the turbine's entrance and is accelerated by the rotating impellers. The accelerated gas enters the turbine's diffusing (or stators), where the speed of the gas is reduced and the pressure is increased. This process was usually repeated in several compression stages to further increase the pressure of the gas. Compressors are widely used in various fields, including cooling, air conditioning, industrial gas production, gas transmission and storage, etc. There were many types of processors, including piston-type processors, centrifugal processors, axial-flow processors, cross-flow processors, etc. Each of them had its own specific working principle and application range. If you have any more questions about the compactor or other related equipment, please provide more context or detailed information so that I can better help you.
