Chapter 222 Funds
Cheng Jinzhou has subtly changed the research methods of everyone in the team.

Standardized purification steps, standardized testing methods, standardized experimental procedures - standardization is the first step in modern experimental methods, and it is also a necessary condition for modern science.

With standardized conditions, the processing speed of serpentine and beryl has been increased several times, and even Yisu is very satisfied.

However, with the acceleration of research progress, the supply of raw materials is facing difficulties again.

For several astrologists, the most important thing for them is to study, and the second is to publish the results report. In fact, they don't care about what kind of raw materials are used and what kind of things are produced.Therefore, Cheng Jinzhou, who is suspected of using cheap labor, has no shirking responsibility for this.

The problem is that the church has a fixed supply of about 500 kilograms of such raw materials every week, and it is not easy to increase it.On the other hand, Cheng Jinzhou also asked Bishop Kant for more materials to use in building some detectors - the bishop's final reluctant agreement did not mean that he could suppress unlimitedly.

So, the other astrologists were busy looking up the information, and while doing the experiment, Cheng Jinzhou just sat there in a daze.

Yisu said helplessly: "You can't get money if you sit still."

"It's a pity that the real rice is not mature, or I would have money now." Cheng Jinzhou shrugged, for things like beryl, each kilogram is worth dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver.But now the weekly demand is around 1000 kilograms, which also means that the gap is as high as 5 taels of silver.

In fact, this figure is still 20% higher due to the higher price of chrysotile.

Although he has a certain amount of savings and can earn a lot of money through raising money from sea merchants, the throughput capacity of merchants is also limited. An average of more than [-] taels of silver per month is the limit. Explosive transactions may be able to raise money in an instant. Nearly a million taels of silver, but only occasionally.At least for now, the family including Qin Yu Commercial Bank is unable to spend a large sum of money.

This also means that for a long time to come, Xiao Cheng will have a monthly deficit of more than 10 taels of silver.Even for astrologists, this is an extremely large amount of money, equivalent to 300 million US dollars, 2000 million RMB.Skilled corrupt officials below the elite level cannot embezzle so much money in a year.

Yisu wandered around somewhere, sometimes in the left ear, sometimes in the right ear: "Planting is indeed a good choice, the environment of many planets is very bad, and it can no longer afford the cultivation of high-grade food. Waiting for your real rice When it matures, it will be a lot of money."

"If you had gotten me some high-grade grain seeds, all the problems would have been solved." Cheng Jinzhou shrugged dissatisfied.

"It's not that easy." Yisu didn't explain too much. In fact, he rarely talked with Cheng Jinzhou about the Star Alliance.

"Or just wait." Cheng Jinzhou rubbed his eyes tiredly. He often ate real rice, which made his body much better, but it was not a steel frame after all.

Waiting until the autumn harvest, that is, a few months, is indeed better than waiting with peace of mind instead of fighting left and right.

Yisu was silent for a moment and said, "It would be best if I could get my body in advance."

"I don't have any money right now." Cheng Jinzhou spread his hands and said, "Now there is a fourth-level astromancer who is eyeing him. I have to rely on the blessing of the church to push Bishop Kant, and the Astromancer Association doesn't want me. I have no life." gone."

"Where's your contribution point from the Astromancer Association?" Yisu followed Cheng Jinzhou every day, and knew him no less than himself.

It has been nearly two months since "A Wonderful Type of Calculation for Maximizing and Minimizing" was published, and it has brought Cheng Jinzhou more than 500 contribution points.It is equivalent to nearly 500 astro-warlocks studying calculus. From the perspective of the mathematics community, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "the whole world".

Even in China in the 21st century, the number of students who devote themselves to studying calculus or even the history of calculus is difficult to reach 500.According to the management of the Star Warlock World, starting from the third one, the increase rate of contribution points will be greatly reduced.Unless there are new achievements or special events, subsequent Star Warlocks will quote more articles from previous Star Warlocks - if there is no similar diffusion, it would be meaningless for everyone to rush to publish articles with great interest.

Tigers eat meat, jackals deboned vultures, and vultures make their own carrion soup. This is not only a tradition in nature, but also applies to any place where natural laws prevail.

"It's not that I haven't thought about contributing points." Cheng Jinzhou saw that the nearest star warlock apprentice was five or six meters away, so he let go of his throat and said in a low voice: "The supply of contribution points has always been in short supply. I will give the association 600 taels of silver. It is 1000 taels of silver outside, and I can exchange it for 50 taels of silver, but I may not be able to survive the autumn harvest if I don’t eat or drink the money. Moreover, the money to be returned to the court has not yet been secured. I can upgrade to a three-star warlock, but I have to spend a lot of money to buy contribution points back."

Cheng Jinzhou's deal with the Star Alliance is like the deal between the British and the Chinese before the Opium War.The former's technology is so advanced, and the profit after excluding transportation costs is so amazing, it seems that the market seems to be vast, but in fact, it is not big.It is said that China's industrial consumption capacity on the eve of the Opium War was equivalent to that of Honduras, which has a population of only a few million.Daxia, which has a population of tens of millions, doesn't seem to be much better.

Whether it is a maritime merchant, a commercial firm, or a smaller trader, the area they can cover is limited after all, and the consumption power of Daxia is also limited.Although Cheng Jinzhou can provide more and more food, the demand of the local residents is decreasing, and the amount of cloth and herbs they can provide is gradually decreasing.The result is like "low grain prices hurting farmers" in a good year. If the quantity exceeds a certain amount, business will not be able to continue.

Here, after all, is not a developed commodity world.

According to Uncle Ma's opinion, the essence of human commodity exchange is to increase social productivity: professional farming for farming, professional fruit picking for fruit picking, and professional basket weaving for basket weaving.Since everyone is professional, the speed of production is accelerated, and through exchange, the quality of life of the whole society will be improved.The division of labor and cooperation in modern factories is also a development based on this.

If Cheng Jinzhou spends 50 to [-] years to change the society of Daxia, let all the farmers plant medicines and trees, let all the pig farmers weave cloth and raise silkworms, and let him provide food and meat, it is naturally the most perfect choice.But it is basically delusional to want to adjust the production and life of the people of Daxia within a few years.Don’t you see that the post-imperialist US, Europe, and Japan are all desperately manufacturing raw materials and dumping industrial products. Their aid to the third world has the meaning of common prosperity in it, and it is also for the prospect of commodity exchange.If Saudi Arabia is still buried in sand, there will be no value in trading with them.

Yisu couldn't come up with any effective method.In fact, it is precisely his request that caused the current predicament: materials cannot be purchased from independent trading platforms.

If it weren't for this, Cheng Jinzhou would have earned more than one hundred thousand taels of silver in transactions every month, and he would have been rich already.

Classmate Xiao Cheng is happy and relaxed. He is only 14 years old, has a long life, and is an astrologer at the top of the pyramid. Why should he suffer in a hurry.

Cao Feng finished his work and saw that Cheng Jinzhou seemed to be idle, so he walked over slowly and asked with a smile: "My dear brother Jinzhou, do you have time to help?"

When everyone is familiar with each other, the address becomes more casual.

"Say." Cheng Jinzhou stood up and tugged on his gown.

Cao Feng fumbled for a lens and handed it to him, and said with a smile, "Although I'm doing purification, I still like the crystal-enhancing crystal."

He still refers to the microscope as the "magnifying crystal".

"Have you improved recently?"

The research of astrologists is generally based on personal interests.Everyone is willing to join the team of Star Warlocks, and they are also willing to work together to overcome certain difficulties and problems, but it does not mean that they will give up their interests, and Cheng Jinzhou has never expected this.

Cao Feng nodded, and took out a telescope-shaped vision-increasing crystal and said: "Now all the lenses are made with double lenses, and the magnification has been increased to 85, and I can already see many small things."

Cheng Jinzhou picked it up and looked at it. Although he still couldn't see anything like bacteria, there was nothing wrong with the cells.

It's a pity that many of the star warlocks of this era have ideas about amplified star formations, and Cao Feng has no chance to replicate Leeuwenhoek's success.

"What do I need to do?" Cheng Jinzhou spoke very well.

"The arc is hard to measure." Cao Feng said, and put a thick stack of straw paper in front of Cheng Jinzhou.

Over there, Jin Xi also finished the work at hand and walked over quickly.His mathematical research ability is weaker than Cao Feng, and he needs help more.

Cheng Jinzhou opened it with a smile. It was all about elementary geometry, not difficult, and certainly not easy—many self-righteous high school students and college students thought that if they went back to the past, they could become academic geniuses with poor grades.But in fact, even a university professor has to think about it if he wants to complete an elementary school Mathematical Olympiad problem.The problem of chicken and rabbit in the same cage is the best example. If you can't use equations, this problem alone can eliminate half of the stupid high school students.

The greater the curvature of the lens, the more difficult it is to calculate.Jin Xixing Warlock's star array is more like an automated machine. Various parameters must be measured perfectly before it can be started and run. If there is a slight change in the middle, the glass will break with a "pop" sound.

Xiao Cheng didn't answer right away, but kept it in his hand and said that he would continue to look at it.Now that the difficulty has increased, it is not easy for him to be sure.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao Feng said softly, "Liu Kuang and An Feng seem to have reached an agreement with the imperial court."

"Oh?"

"Be careful of Yang Zhanquan." Cao Feng shook his head gently as he spoke. Facing a fourth-level star warlock, few people could still maintain confidence.
