No. 131 New Idea - 132 Preference (Four Changes)
Chapter 131: New Ideas (3rd Update)
Qu Jianlei was sure that his idea was fine, and he began to code the article.
However, there are also many problems, such as...... Formatting and writing prescriptiveness!
Qu Jianlei was in Lanxing back then, and he really brushed top journals, and after he became famous, the queue for journal manuscripts was long.
At that time, the format and style were not important, as long as it was his article, top journals rushed to ask for it.
But he really hasn't forgotten how demanding the top journals were when he first submitted to the journal.
When he cared about the periodical, he was stuck on the other side.
When he didn't care, there were more people on the pole begging him to write.
Most of them come straight to the door with cash – nothing is wrong.
Qu Jianlei has read a lot of periodicals on this side of the wasteland, and he must admit that they also talk about format and writing.
But he reads the film...... I have read countless books, I can feel it, and the format requirements are not very strict.
After all, it is a wasteland after the apocalypse, and talents are withering, and many journals have even published a lot of popular science articles.
Popular science article, Qu Jianlei disdains to write - we are going for subsidies, we can't afford to lose that person!
But in the case of professional articles, in addition to the specification of format and writing, there is also a problem - professional terminology!
The language and writing of the wasteland are actually a bit strange, mostly phonetic, somewhat similar to the alphabet language.
But there are still quite a few of them, which are ideological, and even morphographic, which feels like a hodgepodge.
But here in the wasteland, these three have reached a perfect unity, which makes people feel ...... A little confused.
Qu Jianlei didn't dwell on this, he felt that it was really normal for the civilization tree to grow a little crooked in the process of development.
But the technical terminology still makes him a little big.
I thought I could write it in one day and perfect the format in one day, but now it took me three days.
He roughly calculated that this article could take up more than four pages, and less than five pages, and he felt that it was ...... A little less.
If it were sent to a journal subsidized by twenty silver dollars per page, it would be less than a hundred silver dollars.
It's a little speechless to earn this after three days of busyness,
But Qu Jianlei really likes to make money like this, which is what he is best at.
So he can only say to himself: After he is familiar with how to read journals and his reputation spreads, it will be much easier to make money.
Before he could write the article, before he could ask Bentley to help deliver it, the old man introduced him to another business.
Bentley's cultivation has recently been on the right track, and he is busy purchasing a large number of various resources, and he is particularly concerned about making money.
This order is still to detect the fresh air system, and Qu Jianlei was in the garrison team almost free to repair the mecha, which made the old man a little unhappy.
Qu Jianlei could only follow, although his appearance had been exposed, he was still wearing a mask.
Interestingly, he met the maintenance personnel of the system supplier at the customer's gate.
He didn't pay attention at first, but the one kept staring at him, with obvious malice in his emotions.
This sentiment even caught Bentley's attention.
He looked sideways and recognized the other person, after all, this person had been repairing the fresh air system recently.
But he didn't pay attention to it, even if the other party was born in Canterlot, what if he dared to bare his teeth at the ultimate warrior?
However, their ignorance completely angered the other, and the one stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice, "You have robbed us of our lives!" ”
Bentley gave him a faint look, not bothering to argue, "So what?" ”
This one's face suddenly turned red, "Ultimate Warrior, we have it in our family too!" ”
It turned out that he didn't know that the other party had killed an ultimate warrior, but he still couldn't swallow this breath.
Bentley waved his hand and replied impatiently, "Then you let him come...... Little people like you, get out of here! ”
With such an expensive system, the profits are beyond the sky, and it is impossible to say that there is no strong support behind it.
But in the entire Canterlot, how many ultimate warriors are there in total? So he didn't pay attention to the other party at all.
For this little money, at the risk of losing his life, he came to fight in the settlement below...... Crazy?
His arrogant attitude made the other party more and more angry, but at the same time, he also completely calmed down.
For such a small matter, do you have to move the ultimate warrior to come? Moreover, it seems that an ultimate warrior is not enough.
Qu Jianlei's test this time was also very smooth, it took almost half a day, and then collected the money and left.
The maintenance man was still waiting outside, but they ignored it.
Bentley cared, "Look, you're making a few hundred silver dollars in half a day...... Doesn't it smell? ”
Qu Jianlei glanced at him helplessly, "How many systems are there in Houjing?" ”
Bentley snorted lightly, "Four capitals and one capital...... Not enough for you to earn? ”
Qu Jianlei didn't look at him, and spontaneously spoke, "First of all, I'm too lazy to run, time is not such a waste of time......"
"Secondly, do you really want to provoke the ultimate warrior on the other side?"
Bentley was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time before he muttered under his breath.
"Back then, I really didn't take the ultimate warrior in my eyes, this is the more I live, the more I go back."
"The main thing is that you can cultivate," Qu Jianlei said lightly, "You were barefoot back then, and now you wear shoes." ”
Bentley was silent, and it took a long time before he muttered softly, "There are gains and losses." ”
After the two returned to the small courtyard, Qu Jianlei suddenly came up with another idea, "I can write another article." ”
This time he wrote about the improvement of geothermal heating, which combines the characteristics of the fresh air system.
Because of the emphasis on practicality, he wrote this article very easily.
It only took two days to write the article, and then he handed over the two articles to Bentley and asked him to go into the city to give them to Dai Xingyan.
When the acting president saw the manuscript, he almost cried, "I finally remember it, and promised me to submit!" ”
After a rough look at the manuscript, she was a little stunned, "This...... Why didn't he send it himself? ”
Qu Jianlei is now busy helping Hua Scorpion calculate the exercises, and he is not a doppelganger at all.
But Bentley wouldn't say this, he said that Jian Lei didn't have the identity of Houjing and couldn't enter the city.
"It's a big deal, I'll give him a pass!" Dai Xingyan said that this is not a problem.
But Bentley refused, "If he wants to go into town, how can he not get papers?" He is not interested in socializing. ”
"This is difficult," Dai Xingyan frowned in distress, "These two articles...... I'd like to talk to him. ”
Don't look at her youth, the theoretical level of mechanical maintenance is not bad.
In similar industry associations, if your own strength is not enough, even if you have a lot of energy at home, it is impossible to convince the public.
But she really couldn't fully understand Qu Jianlei's train of thought, and felt the need to communicate.
"Then you go to the outskirts of town to find him," Bentley replied as a matter of course, "and I think he is a bit out of business doing this." ”
The ultimate warrior is such a cow, he directly asks the president of an industry association to visit him, and he will complain about making less money.
But Dai Xingyan really didn't care, "Then I'll take a trip, this subsidy ...... It's still a bit little. ”
Even if this subsidy is given to A-level maintenance engineers, it can be handled, after all, many people still care about reputation in the maintenance industry.
If you give it to a B-level repairman, it is estimated that you will wake up laughing in your dreams.
But Jian Lei is not only a maintenance master, but also a transformation soldier, so this subsidy is really not enough.
Dai Xingyan is also a cool person, so she came to the outskirts of the city that afternoon and found Qu Jianlei.
The first thing she asked was the transformation of geothermal heating, "...... I feel that this transformation method uses the heat exchange idea of the gold industry? ”
"Other settlements have long had similar ideas," Qu replied, "but they don't have a channel to publish their articles." ”
"The main reason below is the lack of materials, the heat exchange efficiency is not up, and it is common for people to freeze to death in winter."
Dai Xingyan thought about it, and then said embarrassedly, "But these materials ...... It's expensive. ”
"You should know that in their eyes, Tianzi District is all wilderness, let alone other settlements?"
"But it involves a lot of lives," Qu Jianlei replied with a positive color, "I don't want to say whether it's expensive or not, at least I think it's necessary to bring it up." ”
Dai Xingyan stared at him for almost five seconds before she muttered softly, "You are a ...... It's kind of weird. ”
Qu Jianlei doesn't think he is to blame, "I just put forward ideas, and I am not responsible for solving problems." ”
"Okay," Dai Xingyan didn't want to argue with him anymore, she said with a little regret.
"This kind of article can only be submitted to relatively low-level journals, and the subsidy will not be high."
Qu Jianlei smiled disappreciatively, "It's just a matter of doing my best, mainly because I feel that the settlement area below is too bitter." ”
"Canterlot doesn't treat them as human beings," Dai Xingyan couldn't help but spit out.
Then she retracted her emotions, "What I want to ask about is mainly the bypass thinking of this sensor...... Amazing idea. ”
"What's that amazing?" Qu Jianlei shook his head disapprehantly, "It's just a rational use of resources." ”
"Very useful!" Dai Xingyan gave a thumbs up, "I'll let you go to "Mechanical Mysteries". ”
"Mechanical Mysteries" is the top journal, which is a high evaluation of the article.
"The main reason is that there has been a shortage of materials, and it is very important to make rational use of existing resources."
"But I don't understand your operation ideas for bypasses...... Can you talk about that? ”
Qu Jianlei nodded when he heard this, "Maybe the terminology I expressed is a bit wrong, you know, it's the first time I've written this." ”
Dai Xingyan's eyes lit up, "It doesn't matter, just tell me in detail." ”
"I'll tell you in detail," Qu Jianlei looked at her curiously, "You're still in charge of reviewing?" ”
"Review ......" Dai Xingyan's eyes lit up more and more, "You even know this?" ”
"Of course I'm not qualified to review it, but I'm going to send your manuscript to "Mystery of the Machine."
"They discriminate against the drafts in the ghetto, so I'm going to explain the idea myself......"
At this moment, her eyes lit up like two light bulbs, "Believe me, such a good manuscript, I can't tolerate being ignored!" ”
——————
Chapter 132: Preference (Fourth Update)
Qu Jianlei saw Dai Xingyan's eagerness, and almost thought that this guy wanted to plagiarize his article.
However, he could understand a little bit of what kind of character the other party was, so he put aside his doubts and communicated with the other party.
Dai Xingyan's level is indeed very high, and after a simple exchange of twenty minutes, she completely grasped Qu Jianlei's thinking.
Then she left, swearing, you just have to wait for my good news.
Qu Jianlei and Bentley summed it up, and felt that this generation of Xingyan might also be from Central City.
Ordinary people can't enter Canterlot at all, let alone lobby in various periodicals.
But twenty days later, Dai Xingyan came again in disgrace, "What article did you write again?" ”
"No, I can't take care of it," Qu Jianlei said very dryly, "Ben...... Terry feels that it is more profitable to engage in repairs. ”
In fact, he was mainly perfecting the cultivation technique of the Flower Scorpion, because it was of great reference to him.
Then he asked, "Is 'The Mystery of the Machine' out of the works?" ”
Dai Xingyan's face sank, and she muttered in a low voice, "I'll help you draft "Mechanical Exploration". ”
"Mechanical Exploration?" Qu Jianlei's face also changed slightly, "A page of fifty silver dollars subsidy? ”
Fifty and one hundred, that's twice the difference.
Dai Xingyan's face is not good-looking, how high-spirited she was at the beginning, and how depressed she is now.
She whispered, "That's a bunch of blind people...... But don't worry, I'll find someone else next time. ”
Qu Jianlei's brows furrowed, "Since you can find it next time, why don't you look for it this time?" ”
"I've already found someone this time, and it's not appropriate to find it again," Dai Xingyan said very bluntly, "It will be difficult for the parties to do it." ”
"Forget it, I think it's boring," Qu Jianlei was really a little excited.
He deliberately relied on this to make money, but it was so hard to earn it, there was no need.
He really doesn't lack the means to make money, but he just yearns to make money like this, is it difficult to help people repair or kill people to sell goods?
"You write, the subsidy is doubled!" Dai Xingyan said very bluntly, "I'm out of the money!" ”
Qu Jianlei looked at her and said very seriously, "I don't want money, I want cultivation resources." ”
"No problem," Dai Xingyan replied without hesitation, "I have to come out of this breath." ”
Gassing? Qu Jianlei shook his head speechlessly, "There is so much leisure to live?" If you're really angry, you can kill someone. ”
Dai Xingyan was stunned when she heard this, "Murder...... Why do you talk about this, you like to fight and kill so much? ”
Qu Jianlei spread his hands, "Can the maintenance master earn enough money for cultivation?" ”
Dai Xingyan was speechless for a moment, this is really not good, not to mention the ultimate warrior, the consumption of transforming the warrior is very large.
Then she thought about it and asked in a deep voice, "Can you kill anyone?" ”
Well? Qu Jianlei was stunned when he heard this, "I thought you asked me to write a paper...... Want me to be a killer now? ”
"Who doesn't have a few enemies?" Dai Xingyan has always been so direct when she speaks, "It's just that I originally wanted to solve it myself." ”
"Then you can solve it yourself," Qu Jianlei shook his head, he was not a murderer.
Dai Xingyan has always been more loyal to her duties, until just now, she was still thinking about how to let the other party write an article.
But once this thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed, "Then you help me kill, I'll give money." ”
"It's not a question of money," Qu Jianlei replied, "what do you think...... Am I that kind of person? ”
"Ten thousand silver dollars!" Dai Xingyan simply offered the price, "It's nothing more than two ordinary people, I'm not bad for money!" ”
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "Don't do it!" ”
"Fifteen thousand!" Dai Xingyan gritted her teeth, "This is really the upper limit, I can't afford more." ”
"Don't do it," Qu Jianlei continued to shake his head, he was a person with a bottom line.
"Forget it," Dai Xingyan shook her head dejectedly, her offer was indeed more sincere, and the space for activity was not very large.
"Let's discuss where you should focus your research, and don't go to "Practical Mechanical Technology" anymore."
On the "Practical Mechanical Technology", it is the article on the improvement of geothermal heating.
In Dai Xingyan's words, the article can be published in this publication, which is the result of her begging for others, otherwise she will not be able to pass the draft.
It can also be seen that those low-level settlements are really not valued by the central city.
"Wait a minute," Qu Jianlei said, "It's not that I don't think you give much, but I don't want to be bribed to kill people." ”
"I have killed a lot of people, but I dare to say that I have a clear conscience, as for the goods, they are taken from the other party."
He didn't wait for the other party to answer, and simply said, "Does the other party have a way to die?" The key is...... Rich or not? ”
Dai Xingyan was stunned for a moment before she reacted, "Are you so hypocritical?" ”
Qu Jianlei replied very calmly, "If you have a bottom line, you are worthy of being called a human, otherwise what is the difference between you and a beast?" ”
Dai Xingyan nodded thoughtfully, "The other party is also very strong, I'll give 10,000...... But there is a way to die. ”
Qu Jianlei raised his chin, "Then tell me about it?" ”
In Dai Xingyan's words, her home is in Taidu and she runs a big business.
There will inevitably be competition in doing business, and Daijia's convoy has been attacked several times.
The Dai family is not a soft persimmon, and he took revenge on possible competitors over and over again, and then this kind of thing no longer happened.
What made Dai Xingyan haunted was that her eldest brother was injured in the process of escorting a car and died.
Although the competitors were all retaliated, the robbers never caught.
Later, she roughly confirmed the news of the robbers, but the other party has become an official resident of Qianjing and has a lot of net worth.
In view of the competition between the four capitals and one capital, the hand of the Dai family cannot reach out to Qianjing for the time being.
Dai Xingyan's father has already said that when the conditions are ripe, he will never let those two go.
But now that Qu Jianlei can consider making a move, Dai Xingyan is also willing to pay.
After listening to this, Qu Jianlei bowed slightly, "I can take this order, but it will be at least half a year later." ”
Bentley's cultivation had just started, and Hua Scorpion's cultivation hadn't even started, so he had to calculate the exercises for her.
Their current wealth is said to be tight, but even if they only cultivate and don't make money, they can hold on for three or four years.
Qu Jianlei does not reject murder, killing people and setting fire to the gold belt, he can be regarded as having tasted the sweetness.
However, I originally wanted to make a fortune by writing papers, and this change ...... It's all of a sudden.
"No problem," Dai Xingyan nodded very dryly, she had waited for so many years, so she would not be short of waiting for a while.
"You can wait for a year, start next summer, rain is the best cover...... Those two guys do have money. ”
With this commitment, her attitude towards Qu Jianlei became better and better, and she even sent some maintenance tasks taken over by the association.
The tasks assigned by the acting president were easy and oily, and her decision even caused some complaints from the members.
Everyone knows that Jian Lei and Terry are not easy to mess with, but it is still possible to put some pressure on the young president.
However, Dai Xingyan retorted eloquently.
"Whoever can publish some articles in a heavyweight journal, I will also lean towards him in terms of resources, the question is who can do it?"
The maintenance engineers are all shut up, Jian Lei can get one or two articles to be published in journals every month, who is not jealous of the subsidies he gets?
But there are only red-eyed parts, and most of the maintenance engineers are still hands-on, playing with words...... It's too difficult.
Some maintenance engineers are not convinced, and they also try to write articles and submit, but few can pass the manuscript.
Three months have passed, not counting Qu Jianlei's manuscript, and only two articles have been drafted in the capital after that.
One was published in "Practical Machinery Technology", and the other was purely a popular science article, which could not be compared with the quality of Qu Jianlei.
At this time, Qu Jianlei completely perfected the exercises for the flower scorpion, but a new problem appeared.
The flower scorpion needs to transform the potion as an introduction, otherwise this threshold is too difficult to enter.
When Bentley heard about it, he offered to go to Canterlot to get the potion back.
His cultivation has now begun, and as his strength has grown, his confidence has also swelled a lot.
Qu Jianlei and Hua Scorpion were not very worried about him, and said that they would not go together, but he sternly refused.
After all, he was a native of Canterlot, and it wasn't an ordinary trouble to take these two with him.
At the same time, he did not forget to emphasize: I don't suspect that the strength of the two of you is not enough, it is purely that the identity check over there is too strict.
However, the flower scorpion snorted coldly, "You dislike me, it's not a matter of a day or two, do you really think I can't remember?" ”
The old man was really unkind to her, "Then it's good for me to dislike you, but Xiaoqu...... That's different. ”
However, even if he said so, the flower scorpion could only roll his eyes - after all, people had made themselves a transformation potion.
Bentley had been gone for four months, and when he came back, it was already the end of winter.
Qu Jianlei was not idle, in addition to making money through maintenance, he also referred to the exercises of the flower scorpion and perfected the "Nameless Qi Refining Technique".
Then, he rushed to the seventh layer of Qi refining very solidly.
In these four months, he did not write many professional articles, only four in total.
Dai Xingyan knew very well in her heart that Jian Lei was a prolific guy, but the other party was unwilling to write more, and she didn't force it.
The key is that the quality of this guy's articles is gradually improving, and the publishing platform is becoming more and more high-end.
The acting president even used his personal authority to take out some books that were forbidden for outsiders to borrow, and let Master Jian Lei read them.
In this case, Qu Jianlei's schedule is very tight, but he is not idle, but he enjoys this life very much.
During this period, some cultivation resources were also used.
Two days before Bentley returned, Qu Jianlei broke through the eighth layer of Qi training.
However, this is because of the accumulation of thick and thin, and he estimates that if he wants to break through the ninth layer of qi refining, it will take a year.
As for how long it will take to break through to the Qi refining period, it is difficult to say.
So he can relax a little more moderately and concentrate on making some money.
Just as he was considering which way to make money, Bentley returned.
(Four more arrived, the fourteenth consecutive day of 10,000 words update, asking for monthly passes and post-subscription support.) )
