survival in the wilderness

Chapter 170 Technical Fee
On the way back, Lin Yan asked Mao Mu, "You made the crossbow, how much do you plan to sell it for?"

"I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet. What Heitu said is right, it's for the military's better development, and I'm happy to give it to them for nothing."

"I didn't expect you to still have this awareness, and you are really willing to give it to the military department?"

Momo nodded, "Yes."

"You are the person in charge of the weapons research laboratory, and the crossbow bolts are your research results, so you can do whatever you want. But the budget for the laboratory has been allocated to you, so what can you explain to me? Let's produce, our laboratory will not be able to sustain it soon."

"So serious?" Momu was stunned, "But our laboratory has been like this for the past few years. We haven't sold much technology, so it's not bad."

"That's the appearance. You haven't understood the essence, of course you don't know, let me explain it to you."

Mao looked obedient and obedient.

"A few years ago, when the looms and spinning machines were researched, they sold the technology to the garment factory. The technology of the smelter and the wood factory were all from the laboratory. You think they are useless. There is a Accounts, at that time it was handled by the finance department.”

"It's different now. The finance department is busy. Each department has to manage its own accounts. The laboratory's accounts have to be done separately. Every research result needs to be paid for. It's the first time you're in charge of research alone. I don't know. I also understand that in the future, you have to remember that this is a process that must be done.”

Mao Mu listened to Lin Yan babbling a lot, and was taught: "So it's like this, I haven't heard of it before, and I know how to do it in the future. How much do you think it is appropriate to sell the crossbow bolts to the military?"

"It can't be too expensive, and it can't be too cheap. The price should be around 6 yuan."

"So expensive?" Mogi was taken aback. "We are only responsible for technical guidance, and we don't provide materials and labor. It's not good to ask for such a high price."

Lin Yan looked at Mao Mu helplessly, "Is it expensive? The technology we produced is an invisible fruit of labor. It needs to use our brains and rely on our ingenuity to make it. It is very precious. I think the price is very reasonable."

Mao Mu is still a little worried, 6 yuan is a huge amount of money for him, and he can't earn 5 yuan a year.This is the case when he holds several positions.

Lin Yan said angrily: "Go and ask, how much did Shi Zhi sell the technology of the trolley, and he sold it to his family, so he knows the price of the laboratory technology. I want to tell you solemnly, the technology is very valuable. Work hard in the future, and the money from the sale will be shared with you personally.”

When Mao Mu learned that Shi Zhi's cart was sold for 5 yuan, he believed what Lin Yan said.

Shi Zhi's trolley is still sold at a friendly price, just like the crossbow, it is sold at a cheap price.Just last year, the wheel technology of the shelf car was transferred to the smelter, and it was all transferred out at a price of 15 yuan.

Momo really believed it now, technology is really valuable.

Mao Mu went to the military to implement the matter of the crossbow arrows. Lin Yan didn't pay attention any more. She simply drew a picture of what she saw and heard after going out for three days.

The most obvious reference is the Sun River. Considering the upstream situation, she called the river before the branch Yang River.The large lake they saw was named Pinghu, and the large flat land around it was named Fengyuan because of its rich resources.The continuous mountain range before entering Pinghu Lake is named Hengshan.

When Shi Zhi came in, Lin Yun was bowing his head to draw a picture. He stood by and watched for a while, and waited for Lin Yan to finish drawing before saying, "Is this the place you passed by by boat?"

"That's right. I marked and named all the mountains and rivers I saw along the way for easy location. This area is Pinghu and Fengyuan, where the terrain is flat, the water source is abundant, and the species are more diverse."

Shi Zhi nodded, "When will you go out next time?"

"I just came back, and I have no plan to go out again." Lin Yan looked at him in surprise, "Do you want to follow?"

"Yes. Seeing that you are all running outside, I want to go out to broaden my horizons. You are right. Only by seeing the size of the world can you move forward bravely. I have never left this place since I was born. It is time to go out and have a look gone."

"Can you let go of the research you're doing?" Lin Yan didn't quite believe it. Shi Zhi was a research madman, and he was obsessed with the laboratory all day long. He had never been to Sun City.

Shi Zhi was silent for a while, "I can do experiments on the ship."

"Okay, you can just make up your mind. I'll fight for a spot for you when you go out next time. However, there are still too few boats, and there will always be no sense of security if there are fewer people going."

"The wood factory is already rushing to make two ships this year, and a fleet of four ships can travel far."

After sending Shi Zhi away, Lin Yan continued to draw the map, combined with Fat Bao's records, trying to make the terrain and distance on the map more accurate.

At the beginning of March, Bai Chen asked Lin Yan to go to the paper-making workshop to see the printing progress.

The first printing achieved initial success. Bai Chen carved out twenty typefaces out of wood and made tools for lettering.

Lin Yan carefully observed the printed characters on the paper. They were clear and neat, and the ink was not smeared. It looked neater and more beautiful than hand-written ones.

"That's right, the method is right, that's it. When more fonts are made, the book can be printed. You can ask Hua Min to help you pick out the commonly used characters in the dictionary, and make the fonts of commonly used characters first."

Bai Chen nodded, "Hua Min has already sorted it out. It takes time to make fonts, and you have to find talented people to do it. The progress is very slow."

"It's quite slow. But it's the only way to do it now. You need to work hard and choose some people who can use it. In the future, you will be responsible for papermaking and printing."

After looking at the newly made yellow paper, the quality was relatively stable and could be produced in large quantities, so Lin Yan left.

A few days later, the frame car that the family ordered was ready ahead of time. Hua Hong and Jin Zai were so happy that they drove the car around the street before returning home.

These days, there are very few people who can own a shelf car, and everyone's envy can be imagined.

When Lin Yan returned home, there were still some people watching, clamoring for a bonus treat. Buying a small car is a great event and worth celebrating.

Hua Hong said: "The money is all used to buy a car, so what are you going to treat? Wait until you have money. It's time for dinner. Let's go back quickly."

Lin Yan was overjoyed when he heard this. The bonus is because he loves money, and he doesn't want to spend money on treats.

After everyone had left, Hua Hong said, "See their envious eyes, it feels so good."

"A Niang enjoys other people's compliments very much, it will be spread all over the city tomorrow."

"It's just to let everyone know that our family has a car."

Jin Zai smiled stupidly, "It's not good, it's too ostentatious, and it's easy to arouse the jealousy of others."

Lin Yan nodded in agreement, "Father can understand."

"Aniang, our family has a car. If someone else borrows it in the future, will you give it or not?"

The smile on Huahong's face froze, she hadn't thought of that much.
