Chapter 23 New Standards

In the evening of that day, Wei Zhe, the representative of the sea clan, returned and brought all the items - 90 kilograms of sea soul silk, 10 low-level spirit stones, and 30 kilograms of other spiritual silk threads of various levels.

The 10 standard, fist-sized, complete low-level spirit stones made Li Xian happy, and his resentment towards the sea clan also dissipated a lot. Originally, Li Xian was still thinking: It would be a defective, low-quality spirit stone.

There are also the 30 kilograms of various silk threads, including fire spiders, and even a little jade silk, heavenly silk, human-faced spiders, etc. There are also a plant fiber called "Xian Vine", which is actually as high as the second-level (Golden Elixir Stage) material. It is a pitiful number, with only seven pieces, which adds up to five feet long.

There are dozens of other kinds of silk threads, each with very few. There are even the hairs of powerful monsters, tentacles of jellyfish, etc.

The reason why Li Xian reluctantly cut off 100 kilograms of sea soul silk this time was to exchange for these various silk threads. He wanted to study why these silk threads can transmit spiritual energy. If he could study thoroughly, even if he could only study one thoroughly, it would be a huge gain.

In addition, there are the ores promised by the sea clan, which will only be delivered after Li Xian delivered the weapon. Moreover, the number of ores is huge, and 1 million kilograms of weapons is exchanged for 20 million kilograms of ore!

After Li Xian verified all the materials, Wei Zhe finally spoke, "Mr. Li, you promised our princess 1,000 mirrors, are you ready?"

"Please come with me, senior." Li Xian took the lead in front and opened a warehouse. There were already a thousand identical, three-foot-sized mirrors in the warehouse neatly placed. These mirrors have the same decoration, but they are all equally perfect.

To be honest, the decorations of these mirrors are beautiful, but the decorations of a thousand mirrors are all one, which is a bit monotonous and boring.

"Why are they all the same?" Wei Zhe obviously found the problem.

Li Xian laughed secretly, if you don’t give the same thing to you, do you have to give it different things? That doesn’t mean being generous, but not being able to do business; you will leave a flaw first, and then you will have surprises.

Of course, thinking this in my heart, there was another saying: "Senior, I promised to give Princess Ao Qingxue a thousand mirrors. Before I got the princess' consent, I dared not change my style casually. This is a business reputation issue.

If the princess wants more styles, we have other patterns to choose from, and even accept customization for samples."

"Okay, then let's do it for the time being. You send all the mirrors to the beach, and I'll ask the shrimp soldiers to come and help."

A thousand mirrors said that there were not many, and a few carriages were enough. When Li Xian arrived at the beach, he was really eye-opening. There were really shrimp soldiers coming. Looking at the shrimp soldiers stretching out six legs and holding big pliers, he carefully and difficult to drag the carriage into the sea. Li Xian was really... speechless. Can't you send some advanced demons? Although these shrimp soldiers and crab generals seem to be good, this is too bulky.

As if seeing Li Xian’s doubts, Wei Zhe smiled bitterly, “The human race, the sea race and the demon race have agreements, and no one who is above the Jindan stage is allowed to randomly send people to the other party’s territory.”

"So that's it!" Li Xian's eyes were as bright as a small light bulb - Damn, this is simply an unimaginable huge business opportunity! No wonder the human race has poor materials for the monsters.

Taking this opportunity, Li Xian also took a look at the nearby coast. I have to say that the place chosen by the sea tribe is really good and is very suitable for building a port.

"Senior Wei, we are going to build a port here, what do you think?"

"Since you have chosen, I will report to the princess. I will send the crab general to protect him in a few days so that you can build it."

"That's great. As long as the port is built, we will be responsible for delivering goods to the designated locations that Princess Ao Qingxue needs, even the items that the entire sea clan needs."

"Yes." Wei Zhe responded, without denying it. Li Xian touched the soft nail slightly.

Later, when all the shrimp soldiers used spells and wrapped the mirrors and other bubbles to protect them, Wei Zhe said goodbye and followed the shrimp soldiers and crabs to step on the water. Li Xian was so envious - the foundation-building stage was the cow.

After waiting until all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals could not see the shadows, Li Xian happily collapsed into a three-foot height, "Haha, not only the ports are available, but also the new trade routes are available.

When we have a port and a ship, we will also explore new routes and new continents.

Oh, it's too urgent. The industry needs to be started step by step. The port needs to be built. For the time being, traditional wooden boats will be used first, plus the engine will be added. The most important thing is the cable problem. If this problem is not solved, it will be difficult to develop in the future. It will be a headache.

Wires, wires, why are you so difficult? Sister, at the beginning of the development of power technology on earth, I have never heard of wire problems. My buddy has no place to learn from this thing. Yayayayayayayayayaya... "

After complaining, why should I continue? Send all the silk thread, spirit stones, etc. back to the research department and everyone will study together.

When they saw ten standard low-level spirit stones, many people's eyes shone brightly; fortunately, the thing Li Xian was most worried about did not happen. Although everyone was jealous of the spirit stones, they just passed the eye and kept their greed.

Seeing this, Xu Ren congratulated Li Xian, which means that Li Xian really gathered these people! However, Li Xian seriously despised him - ya, you are boasting around the bush. Well, in short, this is indeed something to be happy about.

In addition, 90 kilograms of sea soul silk and 30 kilograms of other silk threads are a total of 250 miles long; this quantity is a lot, but compared with the requirements of industrial development, it can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, it can barely meet the current demand. Except for the research department to intercept part of the wire, the rest is used to produce engines and some important components - such as wires connected to additional spiritual gathering arrays. At present, the engine is mainly used in textile machinery and machine tools, which is temporarily enough. The road to industrialization is finally the first sight.

After two days of busyness, Li Xian finally sorted out all kinds of things clearly.

Machine tools and stainless steel are the primary projects, but textile machinery cannot be left behind. The development of machine tools and stainless steel is to obtain a large amount of sea soul silk from the sea people, and the construction of large-scale textile machinery is the most important first step in the rise of industry and the gathering of funds.

The research on engines, the improvement of the spirit gathering array, the research on wires, etc. cannot be stopped, but it can be temporarily suspended.

No, there is another very important thing, which is - standards! Without standards, industry cannot 'mass production'; if industry wants to produce on a large scale, it must have standards. In fact, there are divisions such as "big goods" and "little hands" in Daxia, and various strange measurement standards that dazzled Li Xian.

Since it is so chaotic, just plan another set of standards yourself! Just take the other world's hours, minutes, seconds, centimeters and kilometers to use. What's more, the setting of units and standards is also a good way to keep confidentiality.

I thought about it and did it. After a little sorting, Li Xian had a meeting that night and implemented this standard. One third of the 'Xiaozhang' was "one meter", and the remaining millimeters, centimeters, and kilometers were implemented in turn; 500 meters were "one mile" and 1,000 meters were "kilometers".

In addition, the past 12 hours of the day continued to be refined into 24 hours, and the following hours, minutes and seconds were executed in sequence.

In terms of weight, 'grams' is used as the unit, and one thousandth of the "one big kilogram" on the market is 'one gram'. The 100 kilograms behind are one stone, and 10 shi are one ton (june).

In addition, the amount of aura consumed by a one-horsepower engine in one hour is marked as "one degree" of aura.

The water temperature is used as the "temperature" standard, referred to as "degree" for short; the freezing point is 0 degrees, below the freezing point is below zero, and the boiling water temperature is 100 degrees.

Introduce the concept of acceleration, pressure, momentum, inertia, friction, synergy, angle, gravity, density, spiritual air circulation resistance, liquid gas solid colloid, fluid concept, etc., which facilitates everyone's calculations. Of course, many concepts are also available in the fairyland, but they have not formed a unified and open academic.

Update the concepts of mathematics and geometry, clarify the concept of "laws of the material world", referred to as physics for short.

There are many things, and Li Xian did not disclose them together, but only made one public every few days to make everyone adapt.

This set of standards is very good, with concise and clear rules, clear at a glance, and no confusion. After the implementation of the new unit, the work will be much smoother, especially the engine research process and the formation research process, which has a basis for mutual reference.

But using such a unit always has some problems, and Xu Ren was puzzled: "Why should it be called a kilometer?"

Li Xian said righteousness: "As a unit, 1,000 meters is easy to remember. The reason why it is called kilometer is because I believe that in the future it will become the widest unit in the world and a unit of measurement that everyone abides by!"

"Then why is the pressure called 'Pa'?"

"Because this force is equivalent to the pressure generated by placing a handkerchief on a plane."

"The handkerchief must be made of wire."

"Sir, you are so smart. We immediately weave a handkerchief with gold wire."

Xu Ren naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't care about such small things.

(Note: Many units such as rice, tons, dan, and pa are transliterated. If marked according to our traditional labels, rice should be called meter and tons should be called Jun. However, for the sake of easy reading, I will only make a point here that the unit adopts ordinary units.)
