Chapter 1,295 The Troubles of the Country of Silk

,!

But even if you know multiple languages, deliberately speaking in a language that others don't understand in front of others is a kind of disrespect.

Even if you want to discuss confidential content, shouldn't it be done in private, but in front of others, even the target? Isn't this obviously bullying?

What's even more ridiculous is that these people are speaking the language of someone's hometown and neighboring country. As a lover of mystery films and h_games, how could I not be proficient in this language!

Therefore, the discussion between the two people in front of them, which they thought no one could understand except their companions, was clear to Lin's ears. And maybe Fen also understands. Because Lin had demonstrated all the languages ​​​​he knew in his hometown in front of the former lich and his apprentice.

The two female apprentices have learned it, but they just don't know what level they have reached. With Fen's wisdom, it shouldn't be difficult to understand.

But both Lin and Fen had a tacit understanding of pretending not to understand. Someone is still suppressing laughter in his heart, while trying to stop Fen from losing control, which is very sad. It's just that in the eyes of others, this kind of behavior is like a very good expression of the relationship between a man and a woman.

Princess Xindu and Count Guha of the Haider Empire remained silent, and even felt a little aloof from the matter. Only the dynasty and his companions had a minor dispute.

Although on the surface the three of them were just communicating normally in a language that was unfamiliar to others, it didn't look like they were quarreling at all. But the sarcasm in their words about the question of whether to fight or not to fight made it feel like two camps were attacking each other, not like a group of people.

Do they also have internal problems? This was the only thought in Lin's mind while watching a big show.

Compared to the princess, who seemed to have little control except for her noble female status, Lin set her sights on Count Guha, who was the old god.

Although Lin was relatively unfamiliar with the Hydel Empire, it was only compared to the Gwana Empire and the Vader Military State. He was not completely ignorant of the Hydel Empire.

At least one thing Lin knows is that a person who can serve as the captain of the most important airship regiment must have very good performance in terms of political strength, tactical thinking, and physical force. Or at least have outstanding performance in tactics, so that you can stand out and serve as the captain of the airship. An idiot with mixed qualifications will never be able to sit in this position.

When such a person appears among a group of guests, it is absolutely impossible for him to be just a soy sauce character. So Lin asked politely: "Your Majesty Earl, you know that the Kingdom of Silk came to investigate today, and so does the empire."

With a playful expression, Count Guha nodded and said succinctly: "That's true."

"So what is the attitude of the empire? Does it support all the actions of the Kingdom of Silk?" Lin was not sure whether the earl in front of him could understand the language spoken by those arguing, so he asked tentatively.

It is a pity that the airship captain is indeed a talent of the Haider Empire. He evaded: "I am only following the order of my emperor to carry the distinguished guests of the Kingdom of Silk with an airship and send them to Ace." It's just tower power. And this is not the first time this has happened. As long as the leader of a subordinate country or the head of a big noble makes a request, the emperor will send an airship as a escort and vehicle for travel. This is to protect important people in our empire from traveling. normal measures. However, I have no position on their purpose. I am only responsible for protecting them."

Only those who are confused will believe such words. Without enough benefits, would the empire send an airship to deal with the subject country? It’s impossible to send a paper airplane!

And the words are not without loopholes that can be misinterpreted. If there is a armed conflict between the two sides, will Count Guha intervene? There is nothing wrong with him not having a stance on things, but as long as he takes sides when a fight breaks out, it doesn't matter whether he has a stance on things.

"But -" Count Guha made a twist, attracting someone's attention, "- From my personal standpoint, it's not that I can't understand the concerns of the Kingdom of Silk. After all, the ancestors of the Kingdom of Silk were at the same time as the Empire. There has been an agreement that one of the conditions for them to protect their silk monopoly is that the technology will never be passed on to the outside world. Once the technology is passed on to the outside world, it means that they will no longer have the advantage of monopolizing the silk production technology. By then, as long as they are interested in this technology, People can do their own research. Your Excellency, who knows how to do business, should understand what this means."

What kind of weird patent protection system is this? Protection is the patent holder's own business. Once exposed, the patent will be directly disclosed and no longer subject to any restrictions or protection.

Someone was dumbfounded, but he also understood what the country of silk was thinking. Under such conditions, as long as it is confirmed that their silk-making technology originated from the Kingdom of Silk, they may face the situation of being forced to make this exclusive technology public. I won’t go into detail about how much profit will be lost in this.

It was precisely because of the possible losses to the Kingdom of Silk in this matter that Lin became more vigilant.

In fact, the whole matter of silk being monopolized by the Kingdom of Silk in Lost Land is very incredible. Because the technical threshold for making silk is not high, as long as there are suitable silkworm seeds and land capable of planting mulberry trees, there are conditions for developing the silk industry. Coupled with the huge demand and numerous participants, it is even more difficult to maintain confidentiality.

Throughout the dynasties in my hometown, the technology that can be protected has a major premise, that is, very few people know how to do it. Even if one person dies, the technology will be lost. There are still people trying to restore the Tang Mo sword in modern times, but Ou Yezi's sword forging technology in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods has been blinded. But with the amount of technical personnel involved in a product like silk, if you want to keep it secret, you can only rely on others to be blind.

Even with so many difficulties, the silk of Lost Land has only been produced in the Kingdom of Silk for hundreds of years. It would be impossible without a big force behind it to protect it from wind and rain. So the question is, what did the Haider Empire gain from this? If Silk is forced to make it public because of his relationship, who loses? Who benefits? What will be their respective positions?

In other words, the problem before someone now is not as simple as 'thief', but a major event at the national industry level. If he doesn't handle it well, he will be pushed to the opposite side of the entire mystery, or at least the entire silk industry, which will be troublesome.

And to be fair, the solution to the matter this time cannot be made public without hesitation like someone did with forums or mathematics in the past. Let those who want to profit from it witness how a good way to make money has been smashed to pieces.

Lin originally did not want to disclose the method of making magic silk.

Not to mention the difficulty of making the jacquard machine, the magic silk produced was not enough for his own use. Lin Ke never thought of using it as a commodity to make money. At most, it is regarded as a major bargaining chip in exchange of interests. For example, the energy pool of the magic tower was used to reshape the body of the former commander of the Guards, Stone. This was an opportunity obtained by using magic silk.

Besides, judging from the currently known clues, some people in the Kingdom of Silk may have the same origin as myself. Like the brown-haired, brown-eyed dynasty, and the veiled Xindu princess. Because of the love, even if I don't want to profit from it, I don't have to ruin the whole deal.

However, this time there is a trap in the trouble. That is, since the technical threshold for making silk is very low, how can you prove that your technology does not come from the Kingdom of Silk?

This is not a matter of explaining that he has never been to the Country of Silk, or that he has come into contact with its people. For ordinary thieves, in order to be convicted, there must first be evidence to prove the fact of theft and the stolen goods.

But how to prove something like technology? One person can think of it, so others must not think of it? Of course this is impossible! Just like the calculus dispute between Newton and Leibniz, as well as the patent laws of various countries on the earth, the basic rule is to win first if you get into trouble first. No matter whether latecomers learn from their predecessors or not, they will be regarded as plagiarism or infringement.

Judging from the results, it is a fact that one can make silk, but the country of silk can make silk first. In the eyes of those who don't know, he probably stole the silk-making technology from the Kingdom of Silk, and that's why he achieved today's results.

So if you want to solve the trouble at hand, the best way is to prove that your method of making silk is completely different from the method of the Kingdom of Silk. As long as it is recognized by them, it should be fine.

Thinking of this, Lin said: "Everyone, please listen to what I have to say."

The three people in the dispute stopped talking, including Princess Xindu, and looked at the magician who was about to speak.

Lin cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, do you know how to make silk? You don't need to be proficient, just know enough."

The dynasty guarding the princess in Xindu introduced at this time: "The skill of making silk is a skill that every person in the country of silk knows. And the princess is a well-known embroiderer, who can embroider all kinds of gorgeous and delicate patterns." It’s like, well—”

Chao Chao pointed at Fen's Qingyun uniform,

"——The embroidery patterns on this lady's body are easy for the princess."

Fen had no expression for the word 'ma'am'. Well, that's a good thing. Otherwise, she looks like her rationality is about to break, which is really scary. However, Lin paid more attention to another term mentioned by Wang Chao: embroidered girl.

Of course, someone is not regarded as a 'show girl' because of language differences. Besides, it’s not like choosing a harem for the emperor. A princess is a show girl. What kind of way is this?

Although there is no such title in the history of my hometown, it does not mean that Lost Land cannot have it.

To prove that his technology did not originate from the Kingdom of Silk, Lin thought he could start with the classification of silk.

Silk can be regarded as a general term for silk products, but in fact, under this big project, there are many different types of small projects.

What Lin makes using a jacquard machine can actually be called 'brocade'. For example, the famous 'Shu Brocade' in his hometown is one of the best. This uses complex changes in longitude and latitude lines and color changes in silk threads to form complex patterns during the production process. The completed silk products can be called 'brocade'.

Judging from the name of the Kingdom of Silk, the part-time job of Princess Xindu, and the silk native to Midi that Lin had seen before, it can be judged that the silk products produced in the Kingdom of Silk are the most primitive form of silk - silk.

This is a plain fabric with a plain weave. There are no complicated techniques in the weaving process. It is just a vertical and horizontal line of warp and weft. All the patterns on the silk are processed after the fabric is finished, that is, through embroidery.

This point of difference is what Lin intends to use to convince people.
