Chapter 127 Tinari: Choose Fontaine Technology
Inside the Zubair Theatre, more people were rehearsing daily, including many desert dwellers with wheat-colored skin.
When they received the employment notice, they all felt unreal and could not believe that such a good thing would really happen to them. When they realized what was happening, they quickly took out their meager savings - which were barely enough to borrow a single Mora - and borrowed some money from the same mercenary group.
The mercenaries in the same brigade knew that these lucky people would get a job with a stable income and no bloodshed, so they were willing to lend the money out, and never mentioned the need for a written agreement with fingerprints to set a repayment date.
Many of them did not think deeply about the significance of theater rehearsals and performances. They simply felt that being able to stand on the stage and have the arrogant rainforest people impressed by their singing and dancing was a great honor for the entire tribe.
The selected mercenaries used the money they collected to buy soap, combs, razors and other items. Since they had to work in the theater, they could no longer go for months without taking a shower or taking care of their hair as they did before.
Of course, what they would not say was that they had seen the beautiful red-haired girl at the Zubair Theater from afar that day. Her dancing was so stunning that it made people forget the world.
After experiencing the beauty that touches the soul firsthand, the flower goddess and the noble hostess with a vague face in the minds of many of them have become clearer. If they want to perform on the same stage with such a person, they should of course be decent enough.
When they walked into the theater again and were given their respective costumes, their hands were trembling as they could not believe that they would be able to wear such gorgeous clothes one day.
At the same time, I was secretly glad that I had taken good care of myself before coming here. Only now that I am so clean and tidy, I am worthy of the clothes distributed by the theater.
Then, the theater playwrights Ghasani and Zubair took out the revised scripts, some of which were written in the Sumerian common script and some in the desert script.
The recruitment notice stated that being able to speak the Xumi common language fluently was a hard requirement, but Zubair did not stipulate that applicants must be able to use the Xumi script. He knew that in today's Xumi, the number of mercenaries who met this requirement was as limited as the number of desert people who had the opportunity to study in the School of the Order.
When they received the stack of documents and saw the densely packed words on them, all the mercenaries were stunned for a moment, either obviously or subtly, and some even swallowed unconsciously.
"These are the lines you are to say. There are notations on what your respective roles are to sing. The first few pages are the entire text of the opera, and the rest are the lines for the individual characters.
You can read the entire text several times first to familiarize yourself with the content. This can also help you understand your position in the play. If you want to sing with true feelings, it is far from enough to just memorize your lines.
Of course, this task may be difficult for you who have never tried to recite a text. I will give you a week to memorize the first chapter of the script. We will officially start rehearsals after a week. If you feel that you are really unable to do this job, you can choose to leave." Zubair said.
Since receiving Mr. Shakespeare's letter, he and Gasani have spent about a month adapting the novel and thinking about the form of the opera. Considering that most mercenaries have not received education, they need to train a group of actors in a short period of time and make the content of the opera more understandable.
They decided to reduce the lengthy monologues and increase the narration, but even with all their hard work, memorizing the adapted dialogue was still a big challenge for the mercenaries, especially for the selected main characters.
Everyone knew that they had to memorize their lines within a week, which probably meant that they would have to devote all their time except for eating and sleeping to memorizing them. But they just clenched the scripts and new costumes in their hands, and no one chose to leave.
...
In the Ami Lido Academy, the fourteen scholars have gained a deeper understanding of each other's exhibits. The ten freshmen have only been in school for a short time and have no outstanding research results.
What they brought were some potted plants, animals or crop seeds given to them by their tutors. Because most of their research direction was variety improvement, there was not much difference between these animals and plants and those commonly seen in Xumi. Some of them could not even be seen at all if one did not look carefully.
What Tinari brought was the Dun Dun peach extract. He and Nafis successfully extracted the refreshing ingredient from the Dun Dun peach and added it into the beverage.
"It's just that the quality of this substance that can be extracted from Dun Dun peaches is limited, and this beverage is not suitable for mass production, so my exhibits can't be given to everyone to taste like your Prank nectar.
If we can make perfume or essential oil, it will be a different way of thinking to solve this problem. We are currently researching this, but unfortunately we will not be able to attend the fun fair in time.
But I also brought some homemade leaf bookmarks." Tinari said, taking out a book for bookmarks, "The quantity is also limited, so it's first come first served."
After an hour of discussion, everyone had a deeper understanding of the academy's exhibits. After the gathering, Harold was surrounded by freshmen, who curiously asked for more information about his research.
Jenaji called Tinari and asked this seemingly easy-going and knowledgeable disciple of the Vijnanavada school to give some suggestions for her project. As a participant in the project, Elias also stayed.
"...if the temperature and light are consistent, the soil is carefully selected based on color and texture, and all nutrients have been tried, then it may be necessary to further test the soil.
But for the current college, there are not many professional tests that can be done. Use pH test paper to test pH value, use elemental conductivity method to determine salt content, use color-changing solvent to test organic matter content... these are all I can think of. "Tinari held his chin and thought.
"Thank you, but we've tried all of these, but we're still just a little short of success." Jenaj fiddled with the leaves of the windmill daisy and swallowed a breath.
"Well... in that case, we might need to use some more advanced equipment..." Tinari said when he saw that Harold had gotten rid of the entanglement of his juniors.
"Harold, the problems these two are facing may require the use of the theories in your paper to solve them."
Harold: "Hmm? What?"
"You don't seem to have a name for the tiny components in the soil," said Tinari.
In his mind, Harold improved the microscope and named the cells in order to study the hybridization of the decoy flower, so he should also use the microscope to observe other variables such as soil and water that may affect the decoy flower. It's just that he hasn't written the relevant paper yet, or he has forgotten, so this is a good opportunity to remind him.
"Microbes, how about that?" Harold said.
If these professional terms that he was familiar with became unfamiliar to him in Teyvat, it would be very troublesome for him to write reports in the future, so he did not refuse to name these things.
He plans to submit several more papers in the future and name some cell structures to facilitate his future research work.
"Well, simple and easy to understand is your usual naming style. Well, let's talk about the composition of the soil. This obviously requires the use of some of Fontaine's latest scientific research equipment. You may also need to make some improvements to the equipment according to your needs."
Tinari winked at Jenaj and Elias, signaling them to turn their attention to Harold. "For example, Harold's modified microscope,
It can help you understand the composition of soil and water more accurately, and compare the differences between these resources in Xumi and Mondstadt.
I recently bought a centrifuge from Fontaine, which is very useful. I think it will be very helpful for your project, but it is a little expensive. If you are interested, you can ask the merchants in Omos Port about its use and operation methods. They will be happy to answer your questions.
If you don't pursue perfection and service life, but just want to solve the urgent need, it is a good choice to buy second-hand equipment eliminated by Fontaine Technology Institute, which can save a lot of money.
This is not a sales pitch. To be honest, it contributed to my project being completed so quickly. Otherwise, we would not be able to separate the various components in Dun Dun peach so easily.
This is also the inspiration I got from Harold: when you encounter a bottleneck in your research, you can go to Omos Port for a stroll and see what scientific research equipment the merchants have installed. Although I hate to say this, most of the scientific research equipment in Fontaine is more practical than that in Xumi, especially those that are nearly a hundred years old. "
