Chapter 144 Paper Exchange
"Well, this kind of book can't get the seal of the Council of Decrees. Fortunately, you invested in a printing factory to print "Slime Continent" - haha, now in addition to smuggling, we have to be charged with the crime of privately printing paper books," Harold said business, and couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"We have divided Xumi Common Language textbooks into four levels: children's enlightenment books, entry-level textbooks, advanced textbooks, and master-level textbooks. The four languages commonly used in the desert are all covered. Desert people of all tribes and ages can find textbooks suitable for their current level and start self-study."
That is to say, one cut at a time. Haroldt could not help but cross this sentence in his mind. Although he himself had no intention of cutting the leeks of the desert people, there was a deep meaning behind setting the price of books in this way.
He paused and continued, "The compilation of the textbooks still needs the final finishing touches. When all the books are completed, I will ask someone to send the original copies to you."
"Then I'll wait and see," Dolly replied.
“As for pricing… the printing house is your personal business. Although the printing cost is almost negligible, there is still a certain risk in printing. So it would be more appropriate to price the books sold in the rainforest at 5,000 Mora per copy, while the books to be shipped to the desert would be priced at 3 million Mora per copy.
This price is just a reference. When you actually sell the textbooks, you can adjust the prices of the four levels according to the content of the books and the actual needs of the mercenaries. "
Dolly agreed immediately, and Harold asked Dolly to pack some rubber products for him, intending to submit them together with relevant project reports, so that the House of Representatives could "stamp" their products by publishing academic research results.
At eight o'clock on Saturday morning, the five people carried out academic activities as usual in the research site assigned by the Ministry of Education.
Two weeks later, all five of them had completed the first draft of their final paper. Harold's paper was titled "Analysis of the Changes and Causes of Vegetation Coverage in the Xumi Desert during the Period of the Three Gods' Co-governance".
The main content of the paper is to explore the plant species, vegetation area, the impact of human activities on vegetation coverage in the desert during this period, and the reaction of vegetation coverage to human life.
Kavi's paper is titled "Classification of People's Dwellings in Desert Areas during the Red King's Reign and Exploration of the Load-bearing Structure of Houses".
In his paper, he divided houses into five categories according to their types: unit-type houses, duplex houses, split-level houses, garden-type houses, and small-sized houses.
Based on historical records and existing ancient desert buildings, the internal load-bearing structures of various types of houses were analyzed and restored, and structural diagrams were provided. A plan was proposed to optimize the load-bearing structure of houses in remote areas of Xumi with reference to ancient buildings.
The papers by Elhaisen, Senor, and Setare all tend to correct the grammatical and logical errors of several existing ancient desert languages, fill in the gaps in text interpretation, and explore the meaning of ancient runes.
The content of the thesis basically cites a large number of examples to deny the grammatical logic of predecessors, prove the accuracy of their own research results and explain their own methods of interpreting words and runes.
In addition, Seno also wrote an extra paper on the application of ancient runes in the field of design based on the costume design of the Fire Prince in "Slime Continent", exploring the possibility of using runes and text as decorative patterns. The other author of this paper is naturally Kavi.
Several people looked through each other's papers, and after confirming that they were correct, they began to chat in a relaxed manner.
"The pattern on the limited edition Fire Prince costume is actually a deformation of the ancient desert runes. After discovering this, I invited Kawi to draft this paper with me." There was a faint smile on Seno's face.
"Because the milk tea exclusive to the Fire Prince character is 'sweet', this paper will not be well received by the great 'sages'. You can regard this as my personal hobby."
...
Kavi, who originally wanted to say something, opened his mouth and forgot what he was going to say.
Don't just go so close to me and use your full power when you don't agree with me! Harold had a blank expression on his face, but he was screaming in his heart.
"...Actually, this research direction is very interesting. It will give me another direction to design homes and buildings in the future. If words and architecture are well combined, they will look very cultural!" Kavi finally remembered what he had intended to say. As soon as he said the beginning, he spoke more and more fluently, and even showed joy on his face in the end.
"You've found new ways to embarrass yourself so quickly. It seems like you're destined to never live a simple, happy life," said Elhaisen.
Kavi immediately showed a look of disgust: "People like you certainly can't understand the world of artists. Go get me a cup of coffee and stop talking nonsense here."
"Senior, you can take the revised textbooks from the study while the coffee machine is grinding coffee. Thank you for your hard work," said Harold.
Elhaisen groaned, and stood up with the book in his hand: "Two people with hands and feet, don't push all the troubles to me."
After Elhaisen went to the kitchen, Harold took out a stack of photos and said, "Some interesting things happened at this year's college carnival."
Sino: "I know that your nectar and dry powder have caused quite a stir, and the 'byproducts' of your research on the nectar flower have also attracted much attention."
When he mentioned the "by-product", Kavi felt uncomfortable for a moment, and he quickly added: "That was only the first three days. In the following days, it was the microscope that Harold brought that stole the show."
Seno nodded in agreement. "On the fifth day, the booth was able to attract as much traffic as the first day of the celebration just by virtue of the exhibits. At least, I have never heard of this during my time studying at the Institute of Teachings."
Kavi: "I wanted to try it out on the spot, but there were too many people queuing up. Although we have microscopes at Sahavara College, we can't see things that small.
Fortunately, Harold also had one at home, so I played with it for two hours that day. I was shocked to find that there were things that moved among the plants, but if I looked closely, the translucent particles and grids were quite nice.
Do you know, Senior Senor, that Harold can also use reagents to dye those small particles, and after dyeing they become more beautiful!"
Sino: "There is such a thing, but it's not mentioned on the introduction board in front of the exhibit."
"So I was the first one to see them?" Kavi said with some amusement.
Harold smiled and nodded.
“The on-site procedure was unsightly and time-consuming, so I didn’t instruct the residents to try it, but I mentioned it in my paper,” Haroldt explained.
"The microscope that was completely ignored in the first few days has attracted much attention in the following days. This is not a good thing for scholars in our college.
Originally, we only needed two people to look after the stall for the next few days, but there were too many people coming, so we had to adjust the number of people to six. As a result, my workload has tripled, even though I only had to work one shift.
I also promised Miss Mercenary that I would rush back in time to process the research materials. Now I can only send her a message to say sorry, and then guide her online to complete the experiment on my behalf." Harold said helplessly.
