Chapter 21 Historical Materials
Time flies, another two years have passed, and Sun Dao's age in this world has come to twenty years old.
A year and a half ago, because of a well-arranged coincidence, Sun Dao was appreciated by the prophet sage Turinophon, and his status changed from a miscellaneous freeman to a student who could officially audit, this is not a disciple of the sage, but he is already an official member of the Truth Academy, which has changed his situation dramatically.
At the very least, he can study and study some things in a bright way, and with the allowance in the academy, he can get off work to a certain extent, of course, because of his status as a foreigner, he has no background in Saab City, so he still has to spare part of the time every month to work in exchange for some living materials.
After all, in this world, the concept of money has not yet been fully popularized.
"Yard, you're still looking at these things here, you're too hypocritical, who is still looking at them now." However, when Sun Dao took out a few parchment scrolls that he had recorded as usual, his partners who lived in the same room as him expressed their dissatisfaction, and they all couldn't wait to go out to play.
"If you are bored in the house all day long, you will not be able to learn the truth, only by traveling everywhere like us, and experiencing the true self in the universe of heaven, earth and universe, can you gain something in the true sense and get closer to the truth step by step." Tyximeni, who had the best relationship with Sun Dao, kindly reminded him that he said these words from the bottom of his heart.
Sun Dao understood his kindness, but he also knew very well that Tyximene, who was a descendant of the Archon, could not understand his current situation, so he could only thank him for his kindness, and then returned to his research, until noon, when he got up, ate, and hurried out of the academy and into a workshop on the same street.
The workshops of this era were still very rudimentary. Even the proper utensils are not perfect, many tools are still bronze, only a small amount of ironware, and there is no strict industrial division, so in this store, almost all the tools that can be found at this stage can be found.
As soon as he saw Sun Dao come in, a shirtless and sturdy man in the middle of the store asked, "Yade, you are here again, the mining method you mentioned earlier." Have you already had results? β
"Yes," Sun Dao nodded, and took out a few parchment rolls he was carrying, "This is the structural diagram I designed, and as I said, the kind of thing called a 'ladder', this kind of ladder can be built with wood, and it occupies a smaller area than stone steps." People can go up and down almost vertically. β
The man was noncommittal when he heard this, but after taking the parchment roll and looking at it a few times, his eyes lit up, and then he looked Sun Dao up and down. Nodding his head, he said: "Very good, it is worthy of studying in the academy with the two great sages, your wisdom is indeed very dazzling, I believe in using this thing." It's okay to change your father's freedom, and even if it doesn't, his situation in the mine will change. β
Sun Dao frowned. He said in a deep voice: "You must at least ensure that this thing will set one of the Latour family free." β
The man smiled slightly: "Naturally, your two younger brothers should be able to obtain the status of free people, but their residence ......"
"You don't have to worry about the accommodation, I'll figure it out myself." After Sun Dao finished speaking, he didn't stop, turned around and left.
In fact, everything he did was for the sake of a little touch, and Yard's father gave him freedom, but he fell into misery and became the deadliest mine slave, working in a mine on the outskirts of Sabo.
In the past few years, Sun Dao has accumulated knowledge in this world and established a knowledge system, on the other hand, he is looking for a way to let his father leave the mining area and regain his freedom, and during this period, Yade's father has added two more members to his bloodline-
The relationship between slaves does not need to be bound by law, and there is no husband and wife status, but their descendants are also the property of slave owners, as long as they can survive, they will inherit the identity of slaves, of course, trapped by the times and medical and health levels, the survival rate of these slave descendants is very low, but the existence of Sun Dao has made the brothers of this body healthy, and finally the two little ones have survived the most dangerous premature death period.
Now, Sun Dao is planning to use a new mining method in exchange for the freedom of Yade's father and the two bloodline brothers (referring to the bloodline of Sun Dao's body), and the owner of this shop has a connection with the mine, acting as an intermediary to liaise with both sides.
On the other hand, this is also Sun Dao's gradual understanding of the knowledge system of this world, and he began to further involve and operate.
"The mining method I gave them is absolutely advanced in terms of the level of productivity in this world, not to mention the freedom used to exchange a slave, even if I take half of the slave in the mine as an exchange, it is more than enough, but my identity as a foreigner is congenitally insufficient, so this method does not reflect the value it deserves, and it seems that it is time to improve my social status."
Walking out of that shop, Sun Dao had a plan in his heart, and at the same time, wisps of strange mental fluctuations also flew out of the store, integrated into Sun Dao's body, and finally blessed his consciousness, making his spirit a little uplifted.
"This kind of mental signal is the feedback brought by this new mining method, which is really much stronger than last time, and I believe that when the mine popularizes this new method, there will be stronger feedback."
Sun Dao squinted slightly, savoring these spiritual signals that came back, forming a strange power in his body, which can be said to be a kind of spiritual power, which is very similar to data.
"This kind of spiritual power is also the source of alchemy's power, Turinophon has been studying alchemy for the past two years, and the results are not small, he has been able to purify iron ore, and the effect is almost the same as that of a blast furnace, it seems to be enough to promote the science and technology of this world, and embark on another path, I want to further explore the world, looking for a way to leave, contact with alchemy is the only way, and improving status is the premise."
With such an idea, as soon as Sun Dao returned to his room, he took out a few parchment rolls from under the bed, sorted them out, arranged them in different categories, and made a decision after some screening.
"Let's use alchemy as a breakthrough and follow the path of the Sage of Turinophon."

"Due to the lack of sufficient historical data, there is no way to study the activities of the great sage of Aad in his early years, but it is known that in the fourteenth year of the Aad calendar, because of the war in his homeland, he went to Sabo City with his father, and lived alone in Saab City as a free man."
"About the seventeenth year of the Aad calendar, the seventeen-year-old Great Sage joined the Academy of Truth, but his status at that time was only a miscellaneous servant, and this period is also one of the favorite time periods of novelists, sculptors, and painters today, and there are a large number of works of art that describe the life of the Great Sage during this period, the most famous of which are 'The Thinker' and 'The Alchemical Controversy'."
"In the two years after this, the specific activities of the Great Sage of Yard, the historical data are also incomplete, and it is rumored that the epic poem "Song of Truth" that records the life of the Truth Academy, it is said that there have been relevant records, but in the three wars, only the second half of the content of this epic has been handed down, so there are many debates in the historical circles about the early study and life of the Great Sage of Yard."
"Now the mainstream view is that the great sage of Yade had already aroused his idea and given special guidance before he officially worshipped the sage of Tuurinophon as his teacher, which seems to be proved from the recent unearthed cultural relics, and it is also the latent during this period of time that has created the foundation of the great sage and supported his outburst in the years that followed."
"About the twentieth year of the Yade calendar, the Great Sage began to guide the Great Sage of Yad, and the two of them worked together to sort out the scattered alchemy system at that time, laying the foundation for the technological development of the whole world later."
-- From the first chapter of "History of the Continent", The Origin of Alchemy.
"The statue of the Thinker, now very famous, though somewhat damaged, but largely intact, depicts the Great Sage with a broom, bowing his head to sweep, but his eyes looking into the distance, showing the great sage's curiosity;"
"As for the painting 'The Alchemy Controversy', it is by the hands of the Renaissance masters, and the whole painting depicts the great sages of the School of Truth, and there are sixty-seven figures in the whole painting, each with different expressions and expressions, all lifelike, but there are only two main points, one is the two sages in the middle of the crowd who are arguing, Burkser and Tulinophon, and the other is in the corner of the whole painting, the great sage of Yard with a broom in his hand."
-- From "Appreciation of Classical Art", Classical Period.
"Although the Great Sage of Yard was famous for his wisdom, in fact, he gained a certain fame very early, and it is said that when he was a child, the slave owner once gave him a knife and told him in a mocking tone, 'If you can cut off your own fruit tree with this knife, let him go free', and as a result, the Great Sage of Yard did cut off the fruit tree with a knife, so he got the status of a free man, and if it were not for this knife, today's history would probably be unrecognizable."

"This is your take on alchemy? Do you think that inside those alchemy arrays, there is information stored, and the whole alchemy is to activate this information and release enough energy to change matter? β
When Tulinophon received a few parchment rolls from Sun Dao, he just glanced at them a few times, and the relaxed expression on his face no longer existed, and his gaze at Sun Dao was full of shock and surprise, and this emotion was directly turned into a strong mental fluctuation and was received by Sun Dao.
But Sun Dao was still calm, and just nodded: "In the next few pages, there are also my experimental process and some data." (To be continued.) )
