Chapter 678: The Buried "Dana...

Speaking of "paper", Rahiman's papermaking technology was originally ahead of the Karen Kingdom. After all, before Rody "invented" papermaking, the entire Karen Kingdom was in the stage of using "parchment". In contrast, because of the popularity of mages and spells, Laximan has already used mass-produced "grass paper".

However, this kind of "grass paper" is not an artificial product, it can only be regarded as a artificially processed product. To put it bluntly, it is made by directly cutting and drying the "Kori hemp grass" with broad and tough leaves.

Because of this, no matter the cost, quantity, type or even quality of the "straw paper" produced by the Rahiman Kingdom, it cannot compare with the "artificial paper" like Efta, which produces several tons a day. Regardless of the fact that there are people reading periodicals and newspapers everywhere in Duriel City, in fact, this city basically consumes more than half of the paper in the entire Rahiman Kingdom. In some remote cities, "straw paper" is also a rare thing, and magic apprentices often have to work part-time to plant "Kori hemp grass" to keep up with consumption.

Houdini did some calculations. If the paper was sold from Eftara, even if the freight and the turnover loss in the middle were included, the same amount of paper would still be 80% cheaper than Rahiman's "straw paper"!

The durability and writing convenience of Efta paper are all over the "Kori hemp paper", and the profits in it can be imagined.

Once Efta's paper appears, it will undoubtedly subvert the current market... Ultra-low-priced paper can directly destroy the "Kori Hemp" industry, and the result will be a near monopoly of the entire industry!

Roddy once told him that the most profitable business lies not in what to sell, but in "monopoly". So what he has to do now is just to declare the beginning of "monopoly".

In one day, Houdini easily sold a cart of paper to those "magic grocery stores" with small stores at four times the cost.

Afterwards, he returned to his residence, and without hearing anything outside the window, he enjoyed this truly relaxing vacation leisurely on the recliner.

"Test item No. 27, the third control group, the result of the second infection."

While reading the numbers and numbers on the fish tank in front of him, Rody quickly wrote the contents on the "experiment record sheet" that drew tables one by one. The blue-backed mackerel in front of him, which was originally only about 30 centimeters long, did not look dazed at all at the moment. Instead, it grew serrated teeth similar to piranhas, and the scales on its body also changed. There were bone spurs on his face, his eyes were protruding, and no matter how he looked at him, he looked vicious.

At this time, the mutated blue-backed mackerel was hitting the reinforced glass fish tank time and time again. The "bang bang" impact sound never stopped from the beginning to the end. However, the reinforced fish tank was still strong and did not appear. crack.

On the contrary, Misha, who was following Rody, was staring at the fish with a bunch of compound eyes, obviously thinking about when to eat it.

"The test items are not edible. How many times have I told you? I finished recording today, and I'll go buy you something delicious. Don't even think about eating them!"

Roddy slapped Misha, causing the latter to run to the corner of the laboratory and squat down. He quickly finished recording the data on his own, then stretched, sat down on the chair, and sorted out the data among the messy piles of paper.

Strictly speaking, his paper was not difficult to write. Roddy has a very deep understanding of "demons". He only needs to compare and display the "demonized" states of various creatures after being infected, and at the same time throw out a few important characteristics and inferences that have changed, which is enough to make this article Become the "pioneering work" of "Devil Infection".

Of course, this thesis was able to be written entirely because the changes in these fish were exactly the same as those strange fish killed by the "Polatini" at the beginning. Rody was not an expert in aquatic products, nor was he an oceanographer, but he read Houdini's papers and knew the key points of Rahiman's judgment of fish changes, whether it is the differences in fish heads, fish tails, gills, and even bones. , he made a special comparison and got a positive conclusion.

In short, this paper has filled about half of the outline and content in two days, and the rest is basically repeated operations and revisions. After finishing the current page, Rody got up and stretched, looked out the window, and realized that it was getting late, so he took Misha out of the laboratory.

After walking about ten meters, he came to another laboratory not far away. He greeted the Dragonlance Knight standing at the door, and then knocked on the door.

Sylvia who came to open the door stunned Roddy, because she was wearing a craftsman-style apron and protective glasses with obsidian frames, and her body was covered with sawdust. Seeing Rody, she patted herself a little embarrassedly: "Are you ready to go back?"

When Luo Di passed by the laboratory of the Department of Chemistry, he would always meet students in this state... Seeing how Sylvia was concentrating on the experiment and forgetting the time, he was actually very happy in his heart. The subject of "aircraft" was originally It should be a topic that can only be started by a team of more than ten people, and it was brought to Sylvia in advance, in fact, to find something for her to do.

But now he was a little curious about what step Sylvia had made, so he said, "If you're tired, take a rest. Can you let me see the progress of your research?"

"Ah, okay, no problem. I was thinking of some questions and wanted to explore with you."

Sylvia shook her sleeves, and used a spell to collect the debris on the ground into the trash box by the table. Then he got out of the corridor and led Rody into the house.

To Rody's surprise, this place is not as messy as his own laboratory. Although there are many materials, documents, and papers in front of me, they are neatly divided into several areas, and they are neatly stacked. Just glanced at the covers of those materials, and he saw that this should be the difficulty of several constructions of the "aircraft". Obviously, this is a mage with good working habits. After all, Sylvia is from a professional background, and she is much better than a half-way monk like Roddy.

But what caught his attention even more was the completed propeller model and the connected "spar engine" on the central test stand!

He took a closer look and found that the three-blade propeller, which was more than ten centimeters long, was no different from the external propeller of the World War I aircraft in his impression. The drive shaft connected to it is connected to a magic circle, and the inserted spar is transmitting energy, obviously to drive the propeller to rotate.

"Uh, the wing structure you mentioned, I just made a model sample, and I'm doing data comparison."

Sylvia took out a wooden board from another table, and there were still some rough grinding marks on it, but it can already be seen that the wooden board has different arcs up and down. As long as the wind blows, the pressure difference generated is enough to make it produce upward force.

Roddy was amazed. Although these were all things he had seen before, a high elf who had never learned modern "aerodynamics" or even "physics" could order them in less than two days. Make a model of the two most critical parts of the "aircraft" and conduct a certain degree of research... He really doesn't believe it.

Because even if it is a ten-person scientific research team, the efficiency is estimated to be no more than that.

However, when Rody remembered her past work, she suddenly patted her head to become the chief assistant of the demigod-level mage Khadgar's laboratory in the magic tower, not to mention her own strength, but in terms of scientific research ability and experimental level , if converted, it is basically equivalent to an "assistant researcher" of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, right?

He really felt that he was in Baoshan and didn't know his fortune: he was still having a headache before the "Elson Magic Research Department" couldn't find a suitable leader, but he forgot that Sylvia was a real magic research "master" !

He glanced at Sylvia, who looked a little nervous, and immediately praised her, and then waved his hand: "Let's go, let's continue to study tomorrow, and today I will ask Akasha and the others to have a big meal together!"

His dissertation was written smoothly, and the gold piece of Sylvia also radiated light. It can be said that Rody is in a good mood now. He led Misha and the Dragonlance Knights all the way back to the hotel in a carriage. Just as he got out of the carriage, he paused for a moment, and then walked into the courtyard of the hotel as if nothing had happened.

The feeling of being stared at reappeared, but Luo Di didn't bother to pay attention to the other party at this time. These two days, Melinthia and the others have gone out to make a fuss. It will be a matter of time to attract others' attention. So he didn't take it to heart.

However, as soon as he entered the outer courtyard of the hotel, he saw the captain of the Dragonlance Knight, David An, who was standing guard at the door, talking to a woman in a sexy gauze. This scene immediately made Rody whistle. David looked up and saw Rody, coughed twice, and quickly ended the conversation with the woman. When the woman turned around, Rody saw how pretty she was. Nice beauty.

Seemingly shy, she looked down at Roddy and left the hotel quickly.

Although there was no dialogue, the features of this woman's red eyes and black hair were quite obvious. Roddy immediately realized that the other party was the Touk tribe that Merlinthra had mentioned. Originally, he wanted to joke a few words with Davidian, but after thinking about the customs of the Touk tribe, he always felt that something was wrong with this, so he asked After Sylvia went upstairs and returned to the room, he gestured to David, and the two came to the corner of the rest area on the first floor of the hotel.

"Davian, what's the matter?"

"I'm wondering too. She said that she is from the Escar Kingdom Mission, and she just came over to chat with me for no reason." Davidian scratched the back of his head, puzzled: "Her accent is quite heavy, I can't hear it well. I understand, that means we are curious about where our mission is... You said before that we should be more high-profile now, so I replied that it is from the Kingdom of Karen."

"What is the envoy of Escar looking for us..."

Roddy thought of the four people he saw at the "Castec Fireplace" restaurant the day before yesterday, and felt that he should have nothing to do with each other. He wanted to end the conversation, but Rody laughed out loud when he saw Davidian's hesitant expression: "Why are you hesitating? If you fart, let it go! Those who don't know think you're constipated!"

Davidian is a veteran who grew up from a scout all the way. He followed Rody when he went deep into the grassland to kill orcs alone, so Roddy didn't fight with him at all in informal occasions. The latter also laughed dryly when he said "hehe", and then revealed the truth in a low voice: "Before she left just now, she asked me when I would take a break, and said she wanted to invite me to the tavern opposite for a drink..."
