Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

Whether to choose a fixed return location?

Currently available fixed return locations: within a ten-mile radius of Daxia Bay, Jinzhong.

What does this mean? Ren Zhong's mind couldn't process the message the moment he saw it.

Until now, Ren Zhong's traversals and returns have always involved him traversing to a location of his choosing, then automatically returning to the location of his last traversal.

For example, if he traversed from a cave, then his return would definitely be to the same cave, and on the same timeline as before the traversal, without any deviation.

Now, the prompt says he can choose a fixed return location. What does that mean?

Ren Zhong stared at the information and pondered for a good while, feeling like he had gained some insight. It seemed the system had activated a function that allowed him to re-designate the location for his return traversal. In other words, if he designated a new return location, such as the Clothing Factory, even though he was currently traversing from a cave, his next return would not be to the cave, but to the Clothing Factory?

The literal meaning seemed to be that, but Ren Zhong couldn't be sure until he put it into practice.

However, now that there was a choice of location, Ren Zhong chose another cave next to his usual traversal point as the return location.

Sure enough, a new option appeared:

"Bright Sword Traversal System.

Current Time: February 1940, Daxia Bay, Jinzhong.

Ren Zhong seemed to understand. The system really provided an optional designated location as a return point.

This way, the starting point for traversal was no longer necessarily the return point. Although it seemed useless at the moment, since the timeline was the same regardless of where he returned, Ren Zhong didn't see the point.

Because Ren Zhong's external environment was quite safe now, whether or not to transfer the return point didn't make much difference.

However, now it was verified that system points were indeed used for upgrades, and although this upgrade didn't seem to have any use, it was still good news.

The various preparation teams at Ren Zhong's 81 Chemical Factory were now working according to their design drawings or process flows, diligently studying or starting to experiment. There was basically nothing for Ren Zhong to do.

The earthen kiln side was even faster. After understanding Ren Zhong's needs, the kiln workers in charge of building the earthen kiln began to arrange earthwork!

There was no lengthy process of design, construction, or supervision. After figuring out that Ren Zhong needed earthen jars, the kiln workers began to build the earthen kiln. For them, there were no precise design requirements. Based on the size of the earthen jars, they just needed to enlarge it so that people could move the earthen jars inside and arrange them side by side, with a suitable passage.

The main thing to consider was how to solve the firing of the earthen jars after completion, and how to stack the coke to ensure even firing of the large jars.

However, Ren Zhong had provided all the design points, all of which were effective methods from his original timeline. As long as they followed Ren Zhong's design, it would be pretty much the same.

Ren Zhong was very satisfied with the work of his teams, but as they worked, the large amount of money he felt he had disappeared like water, making Ren Zhong realize that earning money in the Bright Sword world was also urgent.

The one hundred small gold bars earned from Zhang Wanhe were certainly a considerable fortune, but Ren Zhong didn't plan to spend this money in the Bright Sword world. Instead, he planned to bring it back to the main world and liquidate it to start synchronous research in the main world.

The funds from the first transaction hadn't had time to be auctioned and liquidated yet. After all, Ren Zhong didn't know if the antique-quality Three Birds sailing ship could fetch a good price. The price fluctuation of this thing was quite large in different places.

But gold was different. No matter what era, gold was one of the strongest hard currencies with the strongest purchasing power.

The actual weight of the small gold bars Ren Zhong received was one tael, according to the 16-tael-per-jin system of the Republic of China, meaning each small gold bar was 31.25 grams, and 100 bars was 3125 grams!

According to the latest price of gold, which is over $2000 per ounce, this gold was worth $220,000, and this was only one-third of the price of Ren Zhong's goods this time, meaning the total value after receiving the final payment would be $660,000!

If simply compared to the gains from the first transaction, it seemed that this gold transaction didn't earn much, because just relying on the more than one hundred silver dollars that were picked out, the money earned from those 10 boxes of amoxicillin exceeded one million. Now the quantity was more than ten times that, but priced in gold, it was less than 5 million. So, taking gold was a loss.

But things couldn't be calculated so simply. Gold was something that could be easily liquidated at any time, and the discount price was about the same.

But the price of antique silver dollars fluctuated too much. Ren Zhong didn't believe his luck would always be so good, that he could pick out very valuable treasures from any pile of silver dollars.

If the price of ordinary silver dollars was calculated according to the silver content, the silver content of one silver dollar was only worth more than 90 yuan. The value of 16,000 silver dollars was more than one million, which was a big difference compared to gold.

Of course, Zhang Wanhe couldn't pay entirely in gold. He would also pay a lot of silver dollars in the future. Moreover, silver dollar transactions were somewhat different from pure silver transactions. Selling in large quantities, an ordinary silver dollar could still be sold for more than 200 yuan in the antique market if sold slowly.

So, Ren Zhong could accept either payment method. Gold pricing was very stable, while silver dollar pricing might have surprises. It had a sense of opening a blind box, each with its own advantages.

With a feeling of verification, Ren Zhong patiently waited for the countdown in the Bright Sword world to end, and brought the small gold bars back to the main world.

This was the first time he had achieved cross-dimensional transfer with kilogram-level gold. When he appeared in his residential apartment in the main world, Ren Zhong, wearing the heavy special cargo-carrying clothing, took out one hundred small gold bars and piled them on the table. Ren Zhong's heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement!

This time, he brought back solid hard currency. Cross-dimensional buying and selling transactions were getting bigger and bigger, and were entering an era of large transactions. He could earn several million at a time. Although these transactions couldn't be carried out every day, it was already enough for Ren Zhong.

However, Ren Zhong soon discovered a new problem. How could he liquidate such a large amount of gold now?

It should be known that Ren Zhong's gold now had no source of purchase, and they were all "antique" gold bars. Many gold bars had the words "Republic of China" on them. This was not comparable to a small amount of silver dollars, which you could say you bought by picking up a bargain, but how could you pick up a bargain for this kind of standardized gold bar?

With these questions, Ren Zhong didn't have time to study how to solve them for the time being, but this was not his top priority.

After returning to the main world, Ren Zhong found that the prompts in his main world had also changed.

"Bright Sword Traversal System.

Current Time: February 2024, Balizhuang, Jincheng.

Return Countdown: 23:59:59.

Points: 17200.

Whether to choose a fixed return location?

Currently available fixed return location: within a ten-mile radius of Balizhuang, Jincheng."

Sure enough, after returning to the main world, the option to choose a fixed return location also appeared.

But when Ren Zhong chose the rural courtyard he had just rented, he found that the system didn't support the selection successfully.

Because that rural courtyard had exceeded the ten-mile radius of Balizhuang, Jincheng. It seemed that the system was still quite rigorous and didn't have so many bugs.
