[xi-] Xena is in the [4] bathroom of the [-_] house where she is trying to make her own 矽 silicon computer chips. She has a 石 stone of 矽 silicon on the tile floor that is being shined on by 夕 evening sun. She then takes her sword and carefully cuts off "chips" of 矽 silicon, evidently unaware that a chip of 石 stone is not the same as a functioning 矽 silicon computer chip.
