180. Purchase conditions
The seventh princess Eliza stood up with her desk and strode to the mercury mirror: "If it is unique, I think this perfect mirror will cost more than 2 million gold."
"It's just a gift they gave." Rowling smiled awkwardly.
"How many have you bought?" Eliza asked hurriedly.
"Then, this new mirror process is relatively complex and has limited annual output. The next transaction will be a batch," Rowling explained.
Eliza caressed the mercury mirror in a daze. The beautiful woman in the mirror looks young. But when she looks carefully, she can still see some of the subtle parts of the corners of her eyes.
Even if it is well maintained, it cannot resist the erosion of time. Usually, it cannot be seen clearly on the bronze mirror.
The hazy feeling makes people have beautiful hallucinations.
Eliza suddenly remembered that she had been no longer young...
The only bad thing about the mercury mirror is that it is too real.
The primary color feedback is revealed, leaving any shortcomings exposed.
"By the way, Lord Eliza, the manager of Fort Fulin also gave another gift, called soap, which can wash your body very clean. I have tried it and the effect is very good."
The precedent of mercury mirrors, coupled with Rowling's praise, successfully aroused the curiosity of the two.
"Or why don't you go and try it now." Vina took the soap handed over by Rowling and called the servant to prepare the water.
Eliza was reserved to wait for her great-granddaughter to return, while checking for other goods. The focus was on paper, followed by porcelain and glass.
"Their craftsmanship is also leaner," Eliza commented objectively.
Rowling echoed: "Yes, they have been able to draw patterns on porcelain. The paper is much thinner than last time, with more pages of books and thicker. They invented a new ink and a fountain pen that replaced quill pens. I heard it is more suitable for writing on paper, but unfortunately I can't buy it now."
"It's hard for me to imagine that such technology can be developed in the environment of the East Continent."
When I was young, Eliza once traveled to the Eastern Continent. I was impressed by the bad weather, wilderness and primitive architectural style there.
The development of civilization is far behind the Central China, and most civilians are unable to solve the problem of food and clothing. However, the nobles are indecently extravagant.
The technical reserves derived from understanding the rules of the world, soil fertility and geographical location correspond to climate, human moral conscience, and social harmony and stability. There is no comparison between the three aspects of the right time, place and people.
It can be said that even the most backward country in the Central Continent has far surpassed the most outstanding country in the Eastern Continent.
However, in the most abandoned corner recognized by the Eastern Continent, such a wide variety of new technologies suddenly broke out!
Is it an accidental development? Or is it artificially promoted behind the scenes?
Eliza fell into deep thought in silence.
She had a premonition that a new spark of civilization was nurturing and a new round of changes in the world was coming.
About half an hour, Vina changed into a new dress and came out: "Great-Grandmother, the soap is really useful! The dirt on her body has been washed off, which is much better than the juice of the vine tree."
The girl raised her arm that had washed until her brightness increased, and showed off her joyfully.
"It's easy to use. I'll buy more of them next time." Eliza said absent-mindedly.
Any item can be bought as long as it can be bought. For the nobles of the Eternal Kingdom, it is just a word. Naturally, countless people are rushing to serve.
She was thinking about one thing, whether her mother's attitude was too radical.
I just received a message from the capital of the Eternal Kingdom. It was actually my mother's thought clone personally shuttled through the world.
"Paper making technology must be obtained no matter what!"
"I know, Mother. The key is how we take, directly rob, threaten by force, lurking spies, or buying directly at a cost."
"With the strength of our country, we can give priority to purchasing. This will avoid being criticized by others. Now all countries pay attention to patent rights, which actually makes sense.
Only when the inventor is profitable can all kinds of new things that are beneficial to the country appear enthusiastically.
However, this time the situation is different.
We need to pay any attention to all costs. Because the significance of paper itself to the development of civilization is far greater than the consequences of overturning patent rights.
Paper represents the inheritance and accumulation of civilization, and patent rights only bring about environmental gains for the development of civilization."
The eternal Alice, the master of the Eternal Empire, said at the time: "Even if the empire's reputation is damaged and we pay the price of future development, we will get this technology, and there is no doubt that..."
"I understand, sir, Mother. What price can we get at the highest price?"
"The materials of ten million Jinlong, or more, can be exchanged with the right to use multiple top-secret technologies, and need to be reported to me for approval. I can promise to demarcate a kingdom's territory for generations, and I personally grant him the title of kingdom."
"The Kingdom of the Central Continent?" Eliza confirmed again in disbelief.
Alice, the eternal master, affirmed: "Yes, if Love chooses the inheritance of the kingdom and needs to swear allegiance to the lifelong empire, I can make a vow on the eternal stone slab. As long as the empire continues, the kingdom is guaranteed to be inherited by his descendants of blood."
"Have the papermaking technology of Fulinbao, the Legend Research Institute, confirmed its practicality and generality? If the materials are too rare, I think the value of this technology will be limited."
"It's very ordinary bamboo fiber material." The eternal Alice told the conclusion.
"The Legend Research Institute cannot directly crack it? If it can be directly researched, we can give at most certain compensation and rewards, and the initiative is with us."
"No, Legendary Research Institute has no clue. The simpler the material, the less simple it is..."
Vina accidentally looked at the glass, and the outline of the black mist scared her.
After trying hard to distinguish, Vina recognized the appearance of the empire's grandmother Alice, and hurriedly restrained her emotions, lowered her head and stood quietly aside.
As a young man under twenty years old, Vina has not yet broken through the mental barrier and cannot perceive the existence of the spiritual body.
But it's not without hope.
As long as the subsequent resources are in place and the caster's bloodline is gradually developed step by step, she will sooner or later take this step.
Of course, Vina's talent must be much worse than those geniuses who made natural breakthroughs. Basically, she will reach the top when she reaches the formal level and there is no chance to go further.
Only by breaking the mental barrier before the age of twenty can you have the opportunity to climb higher magical peaks.
The probability of a senior caster being born is about one in 100,000.
Due to the longer lifespan of immigrants from various continents and the longer life spell casters, the actual proportion will be higher, and the official statistics have not been disclosed.
There is a saying among the people that has been widely recognized. There are 300 apprentice spell casters. One example is 1 out of ten thousand. One of the senior spell casters is very common within 100,000. The one who casts the holy land relies on luck. The legend is high above and overlooks hundreds of millions of sentient beings. The strongest one dominates an era and leads the charm of a hundred years.
