Chapter 115 Harold: I want to take back everything I lost
"Rubber isn't actually used in daily necessities?" Harold stroked his lips as if thinking, "It's a material that can be easily produced in high quantities, and some of its properties are also very useful."
It seems reasonable. On the blue planet, although some Mexican countries used rubber to make some toys and daily necessities in 1600 BC, it was not until the th century that the application of rubber was gradually expanded after the rubber sealing technology was invented.
Moreover, this technology is generally used in the field of industrial production, such as pipes, valves, automobile tires, etc. Now Xumi has rubber, but its application range is obviously not wide.
I think I've found a business opportunity, Harold thought happily.
"Well... indeed, this material has good elasticity and should be able to be used for shock absorption." After listening to Harold's words, Kavi also began to think about the uses of rubber.
"And it's waterproof, so it can be used to make clothes and shoes. I think our rainforest residents really need these waterproof clothes, especially farmers, porters, and forest rangers. The land in the rainforest is always wet, and straw sandals are very easy to wear out and rub the feet, but rubber shoes are different." said Haroldt.
With an obvious smile on his face, he could already imagine how well the rubber rain boots and rubber raincoats would sell in Xumi. It was a must for everyone in the rainforest area to have one.
Kavi also smiled happily: "Yes! And this kind of clothing can also help residents block mosquito bites, but the breathability is not good, it will be stuffy to wear.
——Harold, you have come up with a good idea. Do you want to apply for a new project? The project name can be "Study on the Development of Rubber Industry"? Just write down your ideas just now, and this project will definitely be approved!
Rubber was originally invented by Ami Rido College, and the research on rubber products is also within your research scope. You can't find an excuse to ask me to write a research report for you this time, right?"
"Well, the topic level may not be very high. It depends on what the sages think..." Harold said with a smile, "...I will focus on making raincoats and rain boots."
In fact, rubber can also be used to make practical daily necessities such as hot water bottles and elastic bands. Forest rangers like Naslin should be particularly interested in hot water bottles.
With it, they no longer have to pay attention to their sleeping posture while sleeping with a hot water bottle made of the bladder of a pack animal on cold and wet nights, worrying about bursting it.
However, what the House of Worship would pay more attention to are raincoats and rain boots, while other daily necessities would probably be seen as practical but non-essential gadgets.
Submitting new topics is a must, although the review process for all topics is quite cumbersome, and several handwritten reports must be submitted in order to complete the course.
He could have simply skipped the Ministry of Education and directly worked with Dolly, letting Dolly make all the products according to his description.
But Xumi does not have the concept of invention patents, only the ownership of academic topics and papers. In other words, what is protected are the written texts and research results rather than the products themselves. Even product researchers have no right to say to the outside world that others are not allowed to use my ideas for profit.
Therefore, it is still a good choice to let the Ministry of Education stamp its seal, because in this way, all Xumi people will know that the ideas of these products come from him, and the projects he invests in will be more competitive. Even if others imitate their methods and copy these products one by one, they will not be able to seize the market.
Once Dolly makes these things, they can also link these products with the IP of Slime Continent to maximize the brand effect.
That’s really good. The outline of the next chapter "Slime Continent" also needs to be changed. I originally planned to let the Rock Prince Zhongli and the Grass Prince Bai Fugui, who have not appeared for a long time, come out for a stroll to accumulate popularity. But now it’s not possible. Let’s put them in the back row. The next chapter needs to promote rubber.
I have thought of the content. Prince of Thunder Ito and Prince of Fire Diluk meet Prince of Ice Dottore who no longer wants to be a slime. Dottore has always believed that my science and technology is the best in the Slime Continent.
After his plan of taking a potion to stop becoming a slime failed, he prepared a new potion while transforming his body. Now, his hands, torso, and penis are equipped with machine guns, which can fire twenty lead bullets at the same time in one second. He was also chosen by the relic in the competition and gained the ability of a stand that can control lightning.
Stand users are attracted to each other. When Dottore, Diluk and Ichido met, he immediately realized that Diluk had the same power as him. He attacked the two of them and wanted to snatch the holy relic from Diluk.
His Stand ability was too strong. The Fire Prince fought with him for less than half a minute before he was defeated by a combination of lightning and lead bullets. The moment he fell, Diluk thought to himself, "Is this ability of Dotole invincible?"
Yidou was also hit in the butt by a deflected lead bullet. He screamed and ran around to avoid the bullet, but he stepped on a holy relic buried in the ground and became a Stand user.
He discovered that his Stand ability had turned him into a rubber man. Now lead bullets could not penetrate his skin at all. The lead bullets that hit him were bounced back. The lightning that struck him could not cause any harm to him because rubber is not conductive.
One chapter promotes the properties of rubber such as elasticity and non-conductivity, which is great, so let’s set it up like this.
However, this kind of battle with a comedic plot may cause dissatisfaction among fans. How to make Diluk and Dottore maintain their own style is a big problem.
Fortunately, I only provided ideas. I believe that with Ms. Alice's writing ability, she will be able to handle this part well. Harold thought without any guilt.
"Once you submit your project, some far-sighted plantation owners will surely start planting rubber trees. The price of rubber should be lower in the future, right? The cost of making our cars should also drop. Now a tire costs 20,000 Mora, which is too expensive!" Kavi said with a sigh.
Harold: A tire snatcher?!
Rubber is so expensive now? He couldn't help rubbing his temples. Damn, I lost a lot. I was wondering why this project was so expensive.
Forget it. I will definitely earn back double the money I lost from rubber in the future.
"What's wrong? Are you sleepy? If you are sleepy, go to bed early. It's getting late." Kavi looked at Harold's actions and said with some concern.
"It's okay. I was just thinking about some things about the new topic... I feel that there are a lot of materials to prepare this time, not just text content. It would be best to investigate the distribution and yield of several types of rubber trees in Xumi, and then come up with product drawings and samples." Harold said.
"Yes, if you are not good at drawing, you can describe what you want to me and I will draw it for you." Kavi nodded to show his understanding, and then changed the subject.
"Thanks for this person's feedback. I didn't realize that the residents of Xumi City rarely come into contact with rubber. Harold, is your name on the document? I must find a chance to thank him tomorrow."
"Let me see." Harold said, turning the paper in his hand over.
Harold: "Ilias, his name is Ilias, senior, he is also a scholar of the Order."
It turned out to be him, the NPC that appeared in the Elhaisen legendary mission. In order to avenge his suicidal companion, he reported the tutor who exploited students and plagiarized their research results, resulting in the failure of a research project of a group of students led by that tutor. Elias was also isolated and finally accepted the olive branch thrown by Siraj and joined the Hive Project.
This is one of the three unlucky guys he has his eyes on. He has good character, a sense of justice, and a bit of clear stupidity, which makes him look easy to deceive. Number 36 in the hive, he is not weak in ability, but not sociable, which means he can devote more time to the earth.
"Eliyas? I don't seem to have any impression of him. Never mind, I'll go thank him tomorrow." Kavi said, touching his chin.
