Cultivation in the city

With a loud bang, Duan Xiaolou's experiment ended in failure again.If it weren't for Duan Xiaolou's protective array, Chen Yan's small apartment would have been completely different.

"Why can't it work? It shouldn't be!" Duan Xiaolou muttered, "What went wrong?"

He picked up the broken pieces one by one to check.

In fact, the cooling and heating effects of the air conditioner just now are very satisfactory to him, the switching time is also very short, the power consumption is very low, and there is no danger of polluting the atmosphere like ordinary air conditioners, and it has no impact on the environment. .But if you switch between cooling and heating several times, the shell of the air conditioner will burst because it can't bear it. Is it necessary to control the switching time?

But Duan Xiaolou doesn't want to start from this aspect, after all, it will affect the user experience, which is really the next step for him who is striving for perfection.

Chen Yan looked at Duan Xiaolou's frowning face from the side, and asked, "Material problem?"

Duan Xiaolou nodded, not surprised that Chen Yan could see it.

"Is there no more suitable material?" Chen Yan asked.

Duan Xiaolou pointed to the broken air conditioner shell and replied: "This is the most suitable synthetic material I can find on the market so far. If I can't find a suitable material, I can only start with the material. Start, but in this way, the progress will be slow.”

To be honest, Duan Xiaolou is already a little tired of the research and development of air conditioners. If he is in Luoxian Continent, he is tired of refining weapons, and he can still study formations. If he is tired of formations, he can also study elixir.But now, research is not only his own entertainment, but also a responsibility.

Every thing developed has been endowed with higher value, and has a wider and more important role.Although this is a burden for Duan Xiaolou, it is also more fulfilling.

It's hard to say which of these two situations is good and which is bad, but Duan Xiaolou doesn't hate the current situation.

Duan's father never said that he was eager to launch a new air conditioner, but Duan Xiaolou could tell from Duan's father and Duan Tiancheng's preparations that they were looking forward to the new air conditioner he was researching.

"The materials on the market are limited after all, and many military materials may not be sold publicly. Do you want to ask Li Shu and the others?" Chen Yan suggested.

Inspired by this, Duan Xiaolou immediately called Li Shu.

When Li Shu learned that Duan Xiaolou wanted new materials to make air conditioner shells, he immediately became interested.

"At present, there are several materials that meet your requirements. When do you think you have time to come and choose?" Li Shu said, without mentioning the price at all. I want to see how satisfied Duan Xiaolou is with this material before making any plans.

Duan Xiaolou's desire for materials was extremely urgent, so he asked for leave the next day and went to the place Li Shu mentioned.

It was a material processing factory, and it looked quite ordinary.That area belongs to the new technology development zone, so there are especially many material factories of this kind, large and small.If you really want to compare, the only difference may be that the environment of this place is a little cleaner.

Chen Yan had nothing to do, so he came along as a driver. After finding the manager whose surname was Qian that Li Shu mentioned, the two took out the certificates of the ability team, and the other party took them into the inside.

Passing through the long factory building, the inside is their warehouse.

"Captain Li has already told me your requirements, and these are the materials that meet the requirements." Manager Qian pointed to the materials that were specially separated in the warehouse and said, "This brown-red material is more resistant to low temperature. It also has a certain ability to withstand high temperatures. If it’s just the air conditioner shell, there should be no problem. There is also this milky white material, which can withstand both high and low temperatures, but the price is more expensive. And this blue-gray material..."

Manager Qian explained very carefully, and he told Duan Xiaolou and Chen Yan the advantages and disadvantages of each material in detail.

In the last section, I chose the milky white and azure blue based on the performance of the materials and my own needs.

The milky white material has the best performance, but the price is relatively expensive, while the azure blue material is relatively inferior, but the cost performance is the highest.

If it was before, Duan Xiaolou would definitely only consider milky white materials, after all, this kind of material is the most suitable, but now, under the guidance of Dad Duan and Brother Duan, he has learned to consider the market and customer needs.

Just like Luoxian Continent, there are two pills that are taken during the Qi refining period, Qi Lian Pill and Hui Qi Pill. Qi Lian Pill can not only quickly recover the lost true Qi, but also make the true Qi in the body more condensed, while Hui Qi Pill It can only replenish the true energy lost by the body.

However, the production of Lianqi Pill is much more troublesome than Huiqi Pill, and the materials are more precious, so the price is several times that of Huiqi Pill.Many monks with poor families and no sects to support them will choose the relatively cheap Huiqi Pill.Therefore, although Qi Lian Pills can completely replace Hui Qi Pills, there are still a large number of Hui Qi Pills on the market.

Duan Xiaolou took the two selected materials home. As for the cost, Duan Xiaolou asked Li Shu to deduct it directly from his salary.

With the new materials, Duan Xiaolou was even more unwilling to go to school. He locked himself in the laboratory and studied obsessively, and finally made a more satisfactory finished product.

He made a total of three air conditioners, one is milky white, one is blue, and the other is a mixture of two colors. The materials used in the three air conditioners are clear at a glance.

The three air conditioners worked well after trial, but the performance of the milky air conditioner was obviously better.

Duan Xiaolou finished the air conditioner, and immediately called his father. Duan's father ran over joyfully, tried one after another, and couldn't stop the smile on his face.

"It's not bad, the cooling effect is good, and the heating is very fast. It can be switched almost instantly, and it will definitely kill the existing air conditioners on the market." The more Dad Duan watched, the more satisfied he was. If something goes wrong, just leave it to me, and you don't have to worry about such trivial matters."

Father Duan was extremely satisfied with these batches of air conditioners, even the blue ones with the worst effect, he thought they were pretty good.

"Dad, there is one more question." Duan Xiaolou couldn't bear to dampen his father's enthusiasm, but the sooner this kind of thing is clarified, the better.

"What's the matter?" Father Duan suppressed his smile and looked at Duan Xiaolou with a serious expression, expressing that he was listening carefully.

"This material was provided to me by a friend of mine. It is an internal material and is not for sale." After Duan Xiaolou finished speaking, Duan's father's face turned pale, and he quickly added, "But I think he means that it should be It will be sold to us, but I don’t know whether to sell it directly or take a share, this is still open to discussion.”

Only then did Duan's father recover his complexion.

"It's good to have some discussions. Do you think I went to discuss with him?" In Dad Duan's mind, his second son is a scientific research talent who does not eat the fireworks of the world. This kind of bargaining behavior is not suitable for him to do, but He was also worried that this "friend" only recognized Duan Xiaolou, and it would not be appropriate for others to negotiate.

"Uncle Duan, if you don't worry, I'll go and talk for you. This friend's status is a bit special. I'll tell you when we finish the deal. What do you think?" Chen Yan said suddenly.

Duan Tiancheng had doubts about the identity of this "friend" when Duan Xiaolou said that the materials used to make the air conditioner were "internal materials". Now hearing what Chen Yan said, he confirmed his thoughts.

It is very appropriate to leave this matter to Chen Yan.

Firstly, from Chen Yan's tone, he knew the other party, and the conversations in the past were not abrupt, and secondly, Chen Yan was smarter than his second boy, and he was not afraid that his family would suffer if he came forward.

If Duan Tiancheng was wary of Chen Yan when they first met, then this wariness was replaced by trust and appreciation in Chen Yan's caring care of Duan Xiaolou.

Chen Yan's personality can't be said to be very good - he is domineering, shrewd, and loves to calculate, especially now, I don't know if it is because he has been with him for a long time, he is more and more developing towards a smiling tiger.But no matter how many shortcomings he has, only one advantage can completely make up for all of them, that is, his kindness to his own people is absolutely speechless.

The Duan family could clearly see how Chen Yan treated Duan Xiaolou. Even relatives might not be able to do that kind of care and consideration.

What's even more commendable is that Chen Yan's kindness to Duan Xiaolou is not just a day or two, but has always been like this.This satisfied Duan's father, who cherished Duan Xiaolou in his heart.

Duan Tiancheng patted Chen Yan on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, I'm absolutely assured!"

Chen Yan smiled, but did not speak.

Li Shu, who was in the distance, shivered as if feeling something, and he tightened his clothes with some doubts. Could it be that the sky is about to change?

Chen Yan as a helper and him as an opponent have two completely different performances—this kind of performance specifically refers to Duan Xiaolou beside him and Li Shu who is sitting opposite them.

At this time, Duan Xiaolou was drinking mandarin duck milk tea leisurely, with freshly baked egg tarts next to him, while Li Shu on the opposite side was sweating profusely in a restaurant with a moderate temperature in this autumn, which had gradually turned cold. But he didn't care to wipe it.

"Chen Yan, it's not that I don't want to give up profits. It's really your way of distributing benefits. We really don't make much money!" Li Shu's attitude was sincere, with a hint of pleading in his tone.

"We can help you make these two materials famous." Chen Yan said with a smile, "Didn't I say, can we use our air conditioner to advertise the two materials?"

Li Shu felt a bit of a headache. He shouldn't think that the Duan family needed these two kinds of materials so they would open their mouths. Now that Chen Yan is pressing him every step of the way, he can't get off the tiger. Is it really necessary to use advertisements to offset the cost of materials?

But besides Duan's air-conditioning needs, where is there much market for this material?

"Of course, we can also change to another way of cooperation." Chen Yan stirred the coffee lightly, and the spoon and the cup wall made a crisp collision sound.

"What method?" Li Shu fixed his eyes on Chen Yan, and asked as if he had received amnesty.
