Chapter 36: Waiting (2)
Saying that he was going to go, but in fact he waited for another week, mainly to wait for the money from the auction of ancient books to arrive, similar to the estimated price of Lorraine, 11 books received a total of more than 3,200 yuan before tax, and the overflow estimate of Yanqiuzang's "Jade Frost Opera Banknote" reached 7.1 million, ranking fifth in the auction of ancient books in recent years.
The ratio of the renminbi to the real was around 1:0.24, but Sotheby's converted most of it into dollars and put it into Huang Xuan's account. If the rate of return is calculated, then Huang Xuan only took three days to achieve a 50-fold rate of profit, which was still due to Lorraine's lack of energy at that time.
To this end, Huang Xuan made a special international call to Li Shenggang, telling him to be ready to contact the generator leasing company at any time, and try to extract the power supply of the aluminum factory, storing tens of millions of kilowatt-hours of electricity.
However, when preparing the general equivalent, Huang Xuan encountered a little trouble.
After Lorraine successfully completed the upgrade procedure of the level 22 base, the number and type of materials that could be carried have greatly increased, and the energy required to be consumed has also been reduced several times under the same volume and weight base, and at the same time, being able to go to the time and space after T1600 has increased Huang Xuan's expectations.
However, it is precisely because of this expectation that it becomes slightly more difficult to prepare general equivalents.
Although the base stores tens of millions of degrees of energy, once you go to the different planes, not to mention the energy consumed during the period, if you really encounter a plane that has not suffered time and space shocks - although this probability is pitiful - you still have to leave some energy to be careful, so how to efficiently carry materials is a very important problem.
Lorraine gave a list of the materials that were usually used in the base, nothing more than a variety of food products - this is the most cost-effective option, in addition to crafts made by special processes - in general, resin consumes less energy than glass, and glass generally consumes less energy than metal, in line with this principle, in the past, or 100,000 standard years ago, time travelers always liked to carry delicate but fragile gadgets, their biggest disadvantage was that they were difficult to evaluate and sell, but the cost was low.
It is said that the specific mechanism of energy dissipation in the plane channel involves the relationship between molecular structure and energy spectrum, which is the central problem of previous scientists' research. Lorraine's explanation to Huang Xuan is that the more difficult the product to preserve, the less energy it consumes β but this does not explain why iron, which is prone to rusting, consumes more energy than diamonds, perhaps without considering the interrelationships between matter. But it is at odds with preservation itself.
Although His Excellency's own authority has increased and his intelligence level has improved significantly (Huang Xuan's statement), he still rarely understands Huang Xuan's thoughts.
Plane travel is so dangerous, of course, high risk must have high returns, and the benefits are linked to costs, so for a few days, Huang Xuan has been dreaming about what materials to bring.
Food is indispensable, and wherever there are people, this is the standard equivalent, and it is said that its value was quite high in the past. Cattle and sheep seem to be fine, but it is too much trouble, and the first thing to do is to cleanse the stomach and intestines, and travelers are rarely willing to ......
For plane travelers, Huang Xuan really encountered a happy problem, in the era of the great plane, the price of food and other products was once unacceptable to the merchants, in some planes, they even had to take away half of the profits, but Huang Xuan's energy problem that once scratched his head was easy to solve - in the plane era with an infinite thirst for energy, the cheapest was energy, because what they were pursuing was cheap energy. Of course, the era of the Great Plane cannot last after all, just like a beautiful utopia, free trade soon brings uncontrollable space-time shocks, and only those closed planes can have a chance to escape.
However, reality is reality after all, in the face of high electricity bills and limited material carrying, Huang Xuan finally bought 1,500 tons of grain, as well as a small amount of cane sugar, pepper, ** and other condiments. Although there are many of them, SΓ£o Paulo is the largest commercial center in Brazil, and the port of Santos can carry any commodity in the world for a fee.

At 7 p.m. on May 28, Huang Xuan quietly disappeared from his apartment. Huang Qunsheng will stay in the laboratory tonight, and although Li Qing will be at home, he will not enter Huang Xuan's room. So until 10 o'clock the next morning, Huang Xuan's whereabouts will be uncared for.
The plane passage is always so brilliant and colorful, and everything around it seems to have a different look, but if you look closely, you feel that it is the same.
Floating alone in the air is a very boring thing, especially when you can't find a reference around you, Huang Xuan asked Luo Lin boringly: "Why did I go to other planes, and when I returned to P112, the time was not uniform?" Then why can't I go to other planes on the P112 plane? How many planes will there be in that plane? β
"Because space-time is in accordance with naΓ―ve quantum theory." Lorraine replied very formally: "Time exists one by one, not continuously, simply put, it is a period of time and space that forms a plane, so as long as you return to the same time and space, for yourself, time is unified." The higher the level of the shuttle, the more energy consumed, and the more accurately it can control the time to enter and enter a certain period of time. If you leave as early as possible and enter later, the longer you stay in other planes, but not more than the total length of the time period you left, otherwise you will never be able to return to the original plane. β
"In addition, the length of the time period is also different, it is changing, some times, the time period may not even be a second, and sometimes, the length of a time period may be as long as several months, and the judgment of time and space is also one of the basic requirements of the shuttle, but the more accurate the judgment, the greater the difficulty of manufacturing."
Lorraine's explanation is quite popular, but it is also limited, at least for Huang Xuan, such an explanation is very unclear, but the purpose of his inquiry is just to pass the time, and he is not really prepared to understand a machine tens of thousands of years ago, so he joked: "Then you left me in another time and space last time, if you move slowly, won't you lose me?" β
"Of course."
"That's a cold answer." Huang Xuan smiled unmindfully: "Actually, even if you lose it, there is a way, as long as you keep traveling through time and space, won't you have a chance to go back?" β
"The odds are too low." Maybe even Lorraine couldn't judge how low the probability was, but he still said seriously: "There is also a limit to the number of times each person can enter other planes, and the number of restrictions depends on the energy ratio of the plane's buffer zone. So infinite entry is not possible. β
Huang Xuan was taken aback and said, "Then how many times can I enter?" β
"At present, this plane is in a state of space-time desert, there is only one known space-time base, and you have the second-highest clearance. Therefore, the energy of the entire plane buffer can be used by you, so you don't have to worry. β
Huang Xuan didn't like the idea of sitting and eating empty mountains, he was dissatisfied: "How many times is that?" What kind of buffer belt energy does it come from? Can't add it? β
"The buffer zone energy can be replenished, and the energy that can be used depends on the difference between the total energy and the need to maintain the balance of the plane, the higher the difference, the more times you can enter the plane, according to the theory you understand, the energy of any plane is conserved, so if you want to get more energy, you have to attack other planes, so as to seize energy and reduce the loss of your own plane."
"So complicated? Still fighting? β
"Of course, when the energy required to maintain the plane is higher than the total energy of the plane, space-time shocks will occur, which may destroy some space-time (time periods), or even the entire plane, resulting in a long-term space-time desert. This is currently the case with P112. β
Huang Xuan stretched out his tongue and wanted to ask again, but the light in front of him was strange, he was familiar with it, and he thought it was the place.
