He walked out to the balcony with squinting eyes and stretched. A lot of purple light flashed downstairs.
??? What's going on? Who bought so much amethyst ore and piled it up downstairs?
"Aji, Aji, where are the people?"
"I'm here!" Ah Ji ran upstairs, "Master, what can I do for you?"
"Did Uncle Fu buy these amethyst ore downstairs? Why did he buy so much?"
"Um, Master. These are grown from the ground. Ever since Master came back from Mount Ao Zang a few months ago and started his retreat, these amethyst minerals have started to grow on the ground of the villa. Uncle Fu also came and knocked some off, but they grew again the next day. Later, in order not to disturb Master's retreat, we just let them grow freely."
"...Oh, that's fine, you can go and get busy first." Lin Zixuan took out the purple Heart of God. He thought: Has the divine power begun to gradually affect the environment? I have to ask the Rock King to see how he solves it. If I can't solve it, I can't learn from him and wander around the world doing nothing all day, right?
After searching for a while, it seems that the Emperor is not in Liyue Harbor. It is too troublesome to find someone in a place with underdeveloped communication. I miss the mobile phone on Blue Star. I can know the other person's location with just one call.
Mingyun Town.
"Uncle Fu, how has the research on star silver ore been going in the past few months?"
"Master, there are results."
The two came to the research institute in Mingyun Town. A palm-sized light blue transparent crystal was placed on the table in the laboratory. There were stars on the crystal, and hundreds of runes were engraved on it. It was always in an activated state. A square-shaped purple crystal next to it was continuously providing energy for the crystal.
"Master, this composite crystal has been activated for three months and is still intact."
"Compound crystal?"
"Yes, a young man from the research institute discovered that Night Stone and Star Silver Ore form a new composite material. Thanks to his timely discovery, otherwise we would have missed it.
When he was experimenting with adding nightstone to star silver ore for melting, he discovered that very tiny crystals appeared in some places on the surface of the ore after it came out of the furnace, and he initially thought they were impurities.
After scraping off some with a knife, they found that there were actually some starlight on these crystals. After that, their team began to experiment continuously and finally obtained this composite crystal. The purity and ratio used for manufacturing have been recorded and sent to the Liyue Archives for filing. "
"Is that how it was created? Did they name this composite crystal? I said whoever discovers a new material first gets the right to name it."
"Not yet. That young man wants to meet you and apologize for his impetuosity. He was the one who ranked fifth in the graduation exam and gave up the electrical power research major you arranged for him to study minerals."
"Oh? It turned out to be him. I didn't blame him for making such a choice. After all, no one had ever heard of the power research major at that time, and they didn't know what it was about. Especially these smart people would choose something that would benefit themselves.
If there is no progress in power research and it is shelved for ten or twenty years, not everyone will accept it. It seems that we still need to do some ideological education for these researchers. "
"The power research major, which was not well-known back then, has now become a hot commodity. More than half of this year's new graduates chose to major in power research, far more than those who chose the mineral major.
Young Master, the high-risk major you mentioned, which will cause baldness and sudden death, has not had anyone sign up yet. Young Master, is this major of Xian Fu programmers really that scary? Not only will it cause baldness, but it also directly writes the words "sudden death".
"It's OK in the early stages, it's basically based on interest. As for the later stages, I'll think of a solution then. The best of those who choose this major can be called national treasures."
"Then I'll go find someone who has completed his studies in Immortal Talisman. The young man is in the laboratory upstairs, how about going to meet him first?"
"it is good."
Chapter 103: Immortal Talisman Black Technology to be Used in Civilian Practice
Qunyu Pavilion.
Lin Zixuan was sitting in the guest room sipping tea. Only here could he drink the top-quality tea produced by Liyue Qiaoying Manor for free.
I was flipping through the fifth volume of "Inazuma's Strongest Ninja Madara" in my hand. I didn't realize that this book has already been published for five volumes. I can't help but sigh that these ten years have passed so quickly.
Ningguang in the hall was walking towards the guest room after finishing her paperwork. The young and tender face she had back then had now transformed into Tianquanxing with the aura of a superior. It seemed as if the years had not left many traces on her face.
Ningguang sat next to Lin Zixuan and made tea for him.
"Is the retreat over?"
"Well, I witnessed the top power of Teyvat half a year ago. That trip to Mond was very important. Otherwise, if I had witnessed it in the future battle, I would probably have no chance of turning the tables, and it would be unknown whether I could survive.
Half a year ago, I had a huge amount of elemental power in my body, and I was complacent and thought that I was not much worse than the Rock King. However, now I know that the gap between him and me is a qualitative gap.
Ningguang, to control the ultimate elemental power is to control the laws. Those who can control the laws are gods.
Thinking back to the battle with the Queen of Winter Nation, she was simply giving in to me. At the moment of the death of my clone, I also sensed a strong force of rock element on the nearby mountain.
Now that I think about it, the only person who could stop the Queen of the Winter Nation from pursuing me was the Rock King. If it weren't for this trip to Mondstadt, I'm afraid I would still be in the dark. The King saved my life!"
Lin Zixuan touched the grass attribute God's Eye hanging on his waist and had some guesses. He only knew how to use it, but didn't understand the root law, so he only got the grass attribute God's Eye.
And through Blue Star's knowledge, he understands the power of thunder and lightning very well, and understands the laws of thunder and lightning. Coupled with the huge elemental power in his body, he was able to obtain the Thunder God's Heart.
"Control the laws? It's so far away. Is there any law that controls Mora?" Ningguang's eyes sparkled.
"Yes! You just need to become the new Rock God. Gods also cultivate step by step to the extreme. Take a small step first. Survive the heavenly tribulation and enter the immortal level."
Ningguang's eyes, which were shining brightly, suddenly dimmed. "I have already felt the bottleneck. After reaching the peak of the integration stage, it is too difficult to increase the elemental power in my body. I am afraid it will take a long time to accumulate."
"This is the accumulation stage, just proceed step by step."
"Is there something you want to do in Qun Yu Pavilion this time?"
"Well, there's a little gadget that I need you to try out. But before that, I just remembered something while drinking tea. I need you to think about how to solve it. I won't interfere."
"What industry are you planning to destroy?"
"Although it won't bring the whole thing down, you still need to regulate and manage it appropriately. It's actually a problem with tea leaves, which has a huge impact."
"As for tea, it's very popular right now and the demand is outstripping the supply. There shouldn't be any problems, right?"
"This is just the current situation. You have to look further ahead. Some policies need to be adjusted in a timely manner. Otherwise, the consequences will be serious.
The implementation of the Liyue pension security plan has brought the shipment volume of Qiaoyingzhuang tea to an unprecedented peak, and has also produced a lot of health teas made with new formulas and new processes. Even the price of ordinary tea has increased by more than 10% compared to before.
Overall, it has helped to promote the progress of Liyue's planting industry, allowing people to study more scientific methods of planting tea trees, and has also created a lot of jobs. Planting tea, drying tea, selecting tea, and a series of supporting processes all require human effort."
"Creating profits and developing steadily, isn't that a problem?" Ningguang looked puzzled.
"Yes, on the surface, there really seems to be no problem, but there is always a dark side to everything, and it will gradually become apparent in a few years. To put it bluntly, it is hatred of the rich.
Qiaoying Village became rich by growing tea, so the soil and water of the neighboring Qingce Village was also suitable for growing tea. The people of Qingce Village found that the money they earned from working hard to grow crops for a year was less than one-tenth of what they earned from growing tea in Qiaoying Village, so they would gradually become unbalanced.
I'm afraid that within three to five years, Qingce Village will gradually give up growing food and plant only tea trees. Liyue's largest food base, tens of millions of acres of fertile land have become tea trees, and no food will be produced. This situation will also affect many places with rich soil and water.
Many of the farmers in my family's land also suggested to Uncle Fu that they should stop growing rice and instead grow tea trees so that they could make more money.
If the situation of tearing up the land for growing crops and planting tea trees continues, do you think the price of food will rise? After the food price soars, ordinary people can no longer afford to eat, which will also affect the prices of other food ingredients. The most troublesome thing is that it will lead to a decline in people's consumption level in other areas.
To put it in an analogy: with a monthly salary of 30 Mora, only 10 Mora is needed for daily expenses, 10 Mora is used for pension security and emergencies, and 10 Mora is used for consumption.
As the price of food went up, other supplies also went up. It became 18 Mora for daily expenses, 10 Mora for retirement security and emergency, and finally only 2 Mora was left for consumption.
If people don’t have money, will they still go shopping? This situation will have a huge impact on all walks of life, and the market in Liyue will enter a state of depression.
If this continues, the factory's products will not be bought by anyone, and with goods not being sold and profits being low, it will not be able to pay wages, and the vicious cycle will continue.
Do you think it will turn into a man-made disaster?
If the situation is more serious, we can only rely on Mora to buy food from Xumi. Once the food sales ban is lifted, they will be able to control the core lifeline of Liyue. If we have money but cannot buy food, we want to buy food from them, and then sell it to us at 300 times the price. "
"Well, I'll discuss with the other seven stars to see how to better regulate it."
Ningguang frowned. It turned out that although the appearance was glorious, the consequences were very serious. She had suffered hardships and hunger when she was a child. If the land used to grow crops was turned into tea trees, it would be a big problem.
......
“What is that little gadget you were talking about just now?” Ningguang came back to her senses after finishing her brainstorming.
Lin Zixuan smiled slightly.
"Wood Release, Difference Machine Model".
A huge wooden model appeared in the corner of the room. Then he took out a square wooden box from the space ring and placed it on the table. Several question marks popped up in Ningguang's head.
"Recently, the secret agents in Fontaine have sent back a lot of news. You have also seen a lot of strange things.
Except for my 'remote audio and video simultaneous interpretation technology', they have not cracked it yet. The steam train has been cracked. The crystal engine has also been cracked by them.
However, they do not have the core components: Xiang Zhenjing and Ying Zhenjing. This makes it impossible for them to build their own crystal engine. However, some designs and ideas used in the crystal engine will undoubtedly allow them to grow greatly in some areas.
Their lack of materials and energy forced them to constantly look for new materials and energy. They used steam much earlier than we did in Liyue, and it was much stronger.
I heard that they have a project called "Number Pushing Machine" that has already been approved and should be completed in one or two years. Perhaps many people look down on this project, thinking that it is too big and heavy and useless. "
Lin Zixuan and Ningguang came to the model of the differential engine made with Wood Release. Various fine and precise wooden gears were embedded in it. They shook the handle, and hundreds of gears on the top of the model began to rotate.
"This is part of the 'number-pushing machine' that Fontaine is about to develop. Although this is just a wooden model.
If Fontaine really succeeds, it will be the pinnacle of both steam and machinery. To put it simply, it will use the simplest addition to replace square operations and automatically handle the calculation process of different functions. "
"Automatic calculation? Can it be faster than an abacus? I think you should wait until you figure out the numbers on this machine before shaking the handle. I have already figured out the result."
"......" Lin Zixuan sighed silently and then said.
"The speed of the abacus varies from person to person. If you deal with the abacus all year round, you will naturally feel that it is very fast. However, most people in Liyue are ordinary people.
Just imagine, if an ordinary 7-year-old child can calculate much faster than you with the help of some kind of machine, and can calculate for three days and three nights without making any mistakes. Do you think this thing is useful?"
"Is there really such a thing?"
"You have seen it. It is the one on the table."
The two came to the table, and Ningguang picked up the square wooden box with buttons with numbers and mathematical symbols on it, and a piece of glass above the buttons.
“Is this the thing that can calculate faster than me?”
"Yes, this is Liyue's first immortal talisman calculator. It is 200 years more advanced than Fontaine's 'Number Calculator'. The idea behind the two is the same, but the way they are implemented is different. Fontaine uses steam and mechanical structure, while we use immortal talismans."
"It shouldn't take long, right? A month or two?"
"Hahaha!" Lin Zixuan laughed happily and picked up Ningguang and spun her around. Ningguang blushed as she saw how happy he was. Could it be that there was a major breakthrough in the materials for the immortal talisman?
"The new Immortal Talisman material allows the core to have a lifespan of at least ten years. It needs to be used with a purple crystal battery, which can provide this Immortal Talisman calculator with enough power for about half a year."
"How do I use this? Will it be difficult?"
"It's very simple. Just turn on the switch on the right and it will work."
Lin Zixuan turned on the switch on the right, and a line of words appeared on the glass: "Welcome to the Liyue Calculator." Then the words disappeared, and a 0 appeared on the right side of the screen.
"Like this, enter 324, then the multiplication sign, then 26, then the equal sign."
The glass screen displays:
324*26
= 8424
“This... the result came out in an instant?” Ningguang was shocked.
"Even if you are adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing millions of numbers, you can get the result in an instant. Moreover, there will be no mistakes in the calculation unless you enter the wrong number. If you want to continue calculating, you can press it. If you don't want to calculate anymore, you can press reset. Of course, this calculator can also provide voice service."
Lin Zixuan turned on another button on the side and pressed the reset button.
"Reset to zero. Reset, reset, reset, reset to zero." I suddenly felt like playing and it was very relaxing to press the reset button frantically.
But Ningguang, who was standing by, had a dark face, her fists clenched, and black air came out of her body.
"Lin Zixuan, whose voice are you using?"
When he turned around and saw Ningguang emitting black air, he was so scared that his hands shook.
"Wouldn't it be better to use your voice to help this calculator sell better?" After saying that, he flashed and escaped from the Qun Yu Pavilion.
Ningguang looked at the calculator on the table, and then at the giant difference engine next to it. Is it 200 years more advanced than Fontaine's top technology? What kind of world would his world be like?
Chapter 104 Butterfly Wings
In March, Liyue’s Lantern Festival had already ended.
The people of Liyue discovered that there were still a large number of fresh violets and Inazuma-style fruit ingredients on sale in the market, and they were not affected at all by Inazuma's isolation order.
News from Mond said that another town and three nearby villages were destroyed by the tornado. After the tornado, thick clouds brought heavy rainfall, causing flooding in some areas.
Robbery, theft and other vicious incidents continued to occur, and treasure-stealing groups, ronin, and other people added fuel to the fire. The wind and floods, coupled with man-made disasters, had already overloaded the Knights of Favonius with disaster relief work.
The Knights had lost a large number of elite knights by the Grand Master, resulting in a shortage of manpower, which gave the acting master Jean a headache. Even Lisa, who read books and drank coffee in the library every day, was labeled as busy, and her lightning strikes became more and more fierce.
This is also the result of a butterfly flapping its wings. Several years ago, Liyue banned the emergence of treasure-stealing groups. Once they appeared, they would be dealt with most severely, with the highest sentencing standards.
The locals of Liyue are fine. If they haven't committed any serious crimes, their sentences will be reduced and they can also learn some life skills. However, the foreign treasure-stealing groups are dealt with in a different way, which emphasizes one word: "ruthless".
This also resulted in the number of treasure-stealing groups in neighboring Mondstadt's Inazuma Xumi increasing by at least two or three times as much as before, all of them eyeing the various goods and merchants being shipped back from Liyue.
The rampant treasure-stealing groups also made their Adventurer's Association have a large number of escort missions to do every day. The Adventurer's Association, which was already deserted in Liyue, was bustling with people in other countries. There were even many retired knights and retired soldiers (Inazuma soldiers) who formed adventure teams to take on escort missions.
Originally, it didn't take too many people to deal with these treasure-stealing groups. Now, a large number of people are needed to deal with them.
