Chapter 290: Difficult Newspaper

From a distance, the salted fish merchant saw a row of orcs standing at the door of the printing house, with a strange smile on their faces.

Olife didn't know what was going on, he couldn't figure it out, but the characteristics of a businessman made him very slippery, so he asked with a smile if he didn't understand, and if he didn't work, he would stuff some money and make some connections, as long as it didn't involve politics or military, there was nothing he couldn't ask.

The salted fish merchant stood at the door of the printing house, grabbed a drinking friend who often drank, and asked softly: "Brother, what happened, everyone looks at me strangely." ”

"Everyone comes to see you buy the newspaper, you can buy it quickly, and you can read it when you buy it." The drinking buddy smiled.

This drinking friend was also sincere, and the other orcs all showed surprised eyes, for fear that the salted fish merchant would temporarily change his mind and not buy the newspaper.

The salted fish merchant said "oh", it turned out to be to see him buy newspapers, really, what is there to see about buying newspapers.

Oliver walked into the printing house, brought a group of small slaves with him, pulled a few carts and placed them at the door, ready to transport the newspapers back to Zhuhai Port.

A few minutes later, the salted fish merchant walked out of the printing house, and the little orc behind him put bundles of newspapers on the cart and built them into a small hill.

Seeing the salted fish merchant going out, the orcs of Tomorrow City surrounded him, and asked as they walked: "Orife, have you read the newspaper, what do you think?" ”

Olife was the name of the salted fish merchant, and he didn't have time to look at it just now, but when he heard the orcs tell him twice, his curiosity was also aroused.

These orcs care so much about reading the newspaper, there must be something in the newspaper that the orcs from other towns are concerned about.

His eyes flickered, and he lowered his head to spread out a newspaper, his eyes scanning the first page.

The first page is the serious page of Tomorrow City, where there are war reports on the war situation, political affairs are reported when there are political affairs, and people's livelihood is reported when there is no military or politics, such as the progress of a construction site, or a touching little story of an alien orc after becoming a regular.

As an old fritter, Oliver is already familiar with the content of the newspaper, and presumably the news on the first page is inseparable from the three contents of politics, military affairs, and people's livelihood.

I saw the bold text on the first page read:

"The lion miners discovered 'wolframite' for the first time, and Tomorrow City is expected to realize the application of electricity within two months!"

After reading the title of this line, Olivee did not waver, his mind went blank, and he could not understand the new words in it.

"How's it going, how do you feel when you see the title?" The drinking friend poked the salted fish merchant's arm and said curiously.

The orcs of Tomorrow City are not as blank as Olive, they are all orcs with elementary chemistry and physics education, and they can barely understand the literal meaning of it.

They wanted to see the expressions of the orcs in the outer town, no, the salted fish merchant in the eyes of the orcs showed a confused expression, his head was empty, and he muttered, "I don't understand." ”

"What?" The drinking friend didn't seem to understand and asked.

"I don't understand, what is electricity, and what the hell is wolframite?" The salted fish merchant asked first about electricity, and then about ore, and in his heart "electricity" was obviously more important than ore.

"Ahem, since you don't understand, why don't you keep reading?"

The salted fish merchant rolled his eyes, if it weren't for their eagerness to ask how they felt after reading, he would have planned to read it.

Then he looked down, and the general content was to talk about what wolframite is and what elements are contained in it, and then talked about the melting point of tungsten and the industrial application of tungsten.

Filament, tool steel, is what Tomorrow City is going to develop next, the emergence of wolframite has accelerated Tomorrow City's technology, has better lathe tools, and at the same time tungsten filament also makes electricity work, it's time to study large generators.

The whole story uses a lot of technical vocabulary, which Alan made up out of thin air with certain words, and there is no such technical vocabulary in the teaching of the lingua franca of Lionheart.

The salted fish merchant frowned more and more when he looked at it, and couldn't help muttering: "What is this report about, it's a bunch of rare words, and I can't understand it at all." ”

He couldn't read it, but the orcs of Tomorrow City looked happy.

"Hehe, you don't understand this, this report uses both physics and chemistry knowledge, and orcs who have not taken physics and chemistry classes can't understand today's science and technology reports."

"Tech reports?" The salted fish merchant was stunned, another obscure word.

"It's the meaning of technology, such as iron-making technology, steel-making technology, we call them smelting technology, and the discovery of wolframite yesterday can promote the development of another technology."

Drinking friends don't understand the meaning of science and technology very well, only understand some fur, and when they meet people who don't understand, they will have a natural sense of pride, as if they are superior.

"I see, technology is the meaning of technology, so it means that the city is about to develop new technology in two months?" The salted fish merchant was in a trance, his understanding was not bad, and he vaguely caught the key information.

"Hey, that's right."

"So what's the new technology?"

"Well, when it comes to confidentiality, I can't say it."

"I'll invite you to the bar for a rum white bar, and a soda, if you have one." The salted fish merchant said excitedly.

Hearing rum liquor and soda, the orcs were thrilled and shouted that I was going too.

An hour later.

The salted fish merchant waited for an hour before taking a boat out of the city, and his heart was full of excitement.

The orcs of Tomorrow City didn't know much, and the salted fish merchant wanted to inquire about the power technology contained in the tungsten ore, but he didn't ask anything, only asked some high-level explanations, and barely understood what was reported in the newspaper.

The salted fish merchant had not studied physics or chemistry, and he could not read the contents, even if there were local residents who read them word by word, but he could not understand them thoroughly, only thirty or forty percent.

On the way back, he showed the newspaper to some literate orcs and asked them if they understood what it was about.

The orcs shook their heads, "My lord, we really can't read the content of the first page, but we will read the content of the other pages." ”

Olife scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, the content of the other pages is either related to eating, or with short stories, I won't read it, use you to say." ”

After turning around, no one on the ship could read the knowledge of the first page, only that the content on it was jerky and difficult to understand, and there were too many obscure words, which affected the sense of coherence.

Sometimes three professional words pop up in a sentence, and the meaning of the whole paragraph is broken, and if you can't read this sentence, you may not be able to read the next sentence.

"Originally, I thought that the gap between Shuizhu Port and Tomorrow City was not so terrifying, but in fact, ......" The salted fish merchant shook his head, and he had made a solemn decision in his heart.

Move and work towards the official citizenship of Tomorrow City!

As long as he has the opportunity, he will say that he will become a native of Tomorrow City, and he can no longer be a salted fish merchant in Shuizhu Port.

Losing the identity of Shuizhu Port will directly destroy his salted fish business, but it doesn't matter, selling newspapers now is also a new way out, and he can't starve to death.

With a bang, the fleet broke the shore with the waves and went south along the river.
