Chapter 1245: New Coins
Who said that the economy of the gold standard system cannot be played, it is just that the economy of the credit standard is being played up. Even if he didn't plan to play the magic land, but this money was in his own hands, and he couldn't play with the flowers, so he wasted himself as a member of the Great Crossing Crowd and crossed this scene in vain.
Its importance has not yet been recognized by the world, and it is regarded as a femme fatale, if the coinage power can really be received in the hands...... Well, it should be said that it is monopolized by the goddess of gold coins, so it is not necessary to make a great innovation that has never been done on the earth, that is, a unified currency.
Although there is a distinction between bad money and good money, do those who mint bad money deliberately mint bad money? There is still a difference between inferior and false. The latter is deliberately deceiving, using low, cheap ordinary metals to pass off as precious metals, and taking fools' gold as gold. But the former is just because the casting process is not up to par. This is purely a technical issue, not a deliberate deception.
It was when it was discovered that it was possible to monopolize coinage that someone's plan to promote the Ninth Power with money was confirmed. If you want to establish the power of being like the pillar of the world, how can you climb to such a peak without achieving great unification? In contrast, if you want to start with the fighting spirit to promote the Ninth Power, just looking at the schools and gods involved, it makes someone want to die, and out of sight is pure.
Since it is necessary to mint coins, it is important to design a look that is difficult to imitate and quite recognizable. But that's not to say that it's a good design to design a coin as a flower that looks bells and whistles, and then a three-dimensional sculpture. It is also necessary to take into account the ease of carrying and counting the quantity, as well as the acceptance of the world.
The five most well-minted imperial coins are round, double-sided reliefs, with the head of a contemporary emperor on one side and the imperial coat of arms on the other. Ordinary coins are only engraved on one side, either the coat of arms of the organization or the head of the head of the family or the king.
Lin didn't plan to modify the general direction of such a classic design, but he just made a mistake here. Will the portrait of Ke Yin be engraved directly, will that one accept it? However, consider that the gods are not averse to building their own statues as a way to spread their faith. So the halfling goddess shouldn't care about privacy or portrait rights.
As for the other side, of course, he directly put on the holy emblem of the goddess of gold coins, and he didn't think about it. However, Lin added a laurel ring pattern to the outer circle. And the emblem of Corin is made into a hidden pattern, and when viewed from different angles, it is a prayer on the sacred canon of gold coins. The inscription of the year of minting is on the face of the human head, below the icon of Join.
The sacred texts of the gods are not like the Catholic Bible of my hometown, which contains many myths, fables, and poems. The first half of the sacred texts of the Lost Land is more like quotations, and the classics comparing the earth are like the Confucian Analects, but they are not like the Analects full of wisdom, which is a collection of advertising lines.
The second half of the canon is devoted to the various precepts. Generally speaking, the precepts of the good gods are self-cultivation and persuasion; The precepts of the evil gods are regular sacrifices and self-training. Interestingly, even if it is a belief in evil gods, the holy scriptures do not deliberately advocate people to do evil, betrayal, adultery, plunder, murder and arson. If you just want to live according to the precepts of the evil gods, doing those bad things is a shortcut.
As for the prayer that Lin had chosen, it was an interesting passage he saw when he was studying the sacred scriptures of Corn.
'I pledge to protect the safety of people's property'
The text is written in the divine language of Coyin. The gods of the Lost Land have their own languages and scripts, and unless they are specifically studied, there are only priesthoods such as monks, priests, and bishops, who can be directly 'understood' by the gods.
And the reason why that passage is interesting is that in addition to flaunting Keyin's importance to money, it also touches on the concept of another deity. But the relationship between the two seems to be so good, it shouldn't matter if the halfling goddess goes to eat the tofu of the guardian lord.
Should......
As for the appearance of the coin. Most of the coins are between 15 and 20 mm in diameter, but they are more than 5 mm thick. The thickness is uneven, and even the round shape of the coins is not so standard. Basically, when a coin is minted, it's remarkable to be able to notice that each coin weighs almost equally. It's hard to worry about consistency and standards in appearance.
Lin did not intend to maintain the common size of the original coin, but changed to a new size with a diameter of 39 millimeters and a thickness of 3 millimeters, which was larger in area but thinner. The weight of this new size is about the same as that of the coins in circulation in the Lost Land. This is conducive to setting the ratio of the old currency to the new currency, and does not make too many differences.
After the design is completed, of course, it is to create the physical out. This part depends on Freya's craftsmanship. Magicians claim to have a lot of hands-on ability, but in fact, they are all magic materials plus shaping. If they were to carve something out of ordinary wood or stone with a hammer and a chisel, nine out of ten would not pass. Someone can draw, and be good at drawing with a ruler, that's the ability that comes with before crossing over.
But when it comes to knocking and beating, the dwarves are still better than someone. Although the wealthy silverbearded dwarves mainly use magical materials, they do not trust the shaping skills of magicians, but believe that all iron cannot be beaten, and the more they fight, the better it becomes.
This kind of enigmatic self-confidence is actually unexpectedly in line with a scientific fact. It is in the process of forging metal objects that the red-hot metal is hammered to remove impurities. Proper removal of impurities can lead to a slight change in the properties of the metal. It doesn't necessarily get better or worse, it just depends on whether the characteristics of the transformation match the use.
And to create coins, Lin is still ready to create three materials of gold, silver, and copper in one go, which is a delicate job. Dwarves don't have as good finger dexterity as gnomes or halflings, but with the help of a time-traveling magician, crafting some refined tools isn't a big deal. And the use of tools is what the silverbearded dwarves are best at.
However, in the production of hidden lines, the two people, one tall and one short, hurt their brains.
The principle of three-dimensional invisible light pattern is very simple, but how to make it makes it difficult for someone. Even though I have an amazing memory now, I can clearly dig out all the things that are deep in my past memories. But what you don't know is still you don't know......
For the production process of three-dimensional invisible light pattern, I only vaguely remember that it was chemical etching with acid, but the information I have seen is for stainless steel plates, and it is a very simple description, not a real production process. Although the three metals of gold, silver, and copper can be solved with acids, which acid can target which metal, and someone will stare at it?
There's no need to take aqua regia, something like one nitrate and three salts. As soon as it is poured up, it will all melt away, and it is to play with some kind of chemical etching. What's more, I am a doctor of physics in my hometown, not a doctor of chemistry. For chemistry, we also know the degree of the three strong acids - sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid. The commercial play of applying chemical grades is really ignorant.
On Earth, if you don't do chemical etching, it's laser processing.
Well, that's the way to go. There are a lot of laser beams on their own, and the Star Destroyer cannon has been made, and someone doesn't believe that he can't deal with gold, silver, and copper metal plates. It's just that how to program the photosculpture process took Lin and Freya a lot of effort.
Fortunately, I have the experience of making jacquard machines in the past, although the two are completely different in use, but the machine logic can be referenced. Therefore, Lin was asked to make a small photosculpture machine in a short period of time, although the pipeline was exposed, and many parts were drilled to fix the machine. But at least you don't have to spend a lot of time researching it from scratch.
However, this research piqued Freya's interest.
The small photoengraving machine that has just been built is at most just carving some patterns on the metal plate, and it has not yet reached the point of making wafers and advancing the technology tree of the world to the semiconductor age in one fell swoop. But even this engraving is quite useful in the manufacture of cars. Because as long as the intensity of the beam is increased, the engraving can be directly turned into a cut. There are even more tricks to play.
Ignoring Freya's intention to move the mapping machine to the automobile manufacturing and R&D center, enlarge the machine, and enhance the beam energy, Lin still focused on the engraving of coins. With the assistance of the photoengssing machine, the invisible photo-pattern engraving on both sides of the yin and yang quickly found the correct design introduction plan, and actually used it on the gold, silver, and copper coins that Freya had been making for two or three days.
After it was finished, Lin held the coin with his index thumb and looked at it carefully. To put it bluntly, this money is made by imitating the shape of Yuan Datou in his hometown. However, there is no such thing as the earth's coinage habit of mixing other metals with coins to increase their hardness. Instead, three coins of 9999 purity were minted.
With the exception of copper coins, the purity is too high and the coins are thin, making gold and silver coins quite soft. Lin Ke tried, before the pattern was carved, the gold cake and the silver cake of the same size were repeatedly folded, and both hands were broken, but the gold cake and silver cake could be broken directly. So with this freshly minted coin, Lin was cautious.
It's just that this should be the first money mother in the world, why didn't there be a miracle such as a brilliant and auspicious celebration. Someone who used to be poisoned by Xianxia thought to himself. If it's not a lie, it's that the three coins haven't really been completed. And the fact is that these three coins are still one step away from their own ideas, and that is not something that they can accomplish.
Yet Lin held the coin so carefully, thinking thoughtfully. Freya thought that someone was distressed by the problem that the coin was too soft, and said, "Sir, the properties of the pure metal are not the same as what we usually come into contact with. Coins are too soft to use for this reason. And you've made the coins so thin, I'm afraid they're in a bag and they're crooked when you take them out. Why don't you make it a little smaller, but a little thicker, like the old money? ”
Lin didn't answer, picked up the silver coin, put it to his mouth, blew it towards the round edge, and then put it to Freya's ear.
I only heard a wonderful buzzing sound, coming from the money, which made Freya stupid. It was a voice she had never heard before, and she didn't know why she was drawn to it. But I just unconsciously want to hear more, so my ears are closer to the source of the sound, that is, the coin.
Lin smiled and said, "That's the reason. ”
