Chapter Seventy-Seven: Scientific Thinking
"Your Royal Highness, it seems that this is indeed the case......
Elsa said to the princess Dorothea with a face full of disbelief, as the children of the great nobles, there is naturally no shortage of all kinds of widely circulated epics in their education, and Elsa is naturally quite impressed by the Black Sun Battle mentioned by Xia Lin.
"Seila, go and bring me the Epic of the Sun King from my study!"
Despite having a memory several times better than Elsa's, Queen Dorothea decided to see the accompanying pictures from the Sun King Epic with her own eyes.
When The Sun King's Epic was brought to the balcony, everyone watched as Dorothea flipped through the books, and everyone else waited for the results.
At this time, Xia Lin was afraid that the scholars who copied this ancient epic had carried out excessive artistic processing of the solar eclipse, resulting in a complete loss of authenticity.
"It's really an arc!"
Elsa, who was sitting next to the princess, saw the black sun, which looked a little hideous in the picture, and shouted in surprise when she looked at the edge of the eclipse that looked like jagged teeth, but could still be seen to be extremely exaggerated.
"I didn't think it was really like that, so our earth is a sphere like the silver moon and the sun? That's unbelievable!"
Empress Dorothea breathed a sigh of relief and sighed with disbelief on her face.
As a second-ring mage, Queen Dorothea also has the advantages of mages, with a strong memory and comprehension ability, as well as an extremely strong logical thinking ability and receptivity.
Therefore, after receiving a definite answer, she quickly accepted this theory, which was more in line with the actual phenomenon than the theory of the round heaven and the earth that prevailed in the empire at present.
"Sir Charlin, is that what you mean by learning from nature? Even with the wisdom of a mage, I can't imagine how you discovered this truth!
It's no wonder you've been able to invent so many new technologies and come up with groundbreaking plans like business alliances!"
After a short sigh of emotion, the princess Dorothea quickly sorted out what Xia Lin had explained before, and looked at Xia Lin with bright eyes and exclaimed again.
"Yes, Your Highness! I have named this kind of thinking scientific thinking, and science is the kind of power that I have spoken to Her Royal Highness and Miss Elsa about that can change people's lives together with magic.
And it's not mysterious, it boils down to seeing, listening, thinking, and asking.
Beneath the surface of everything we take for granted in the world, there may be laws that we haven't yet discovered.
Mastering these laws can help us transform nature, develop our productivity, and make everyone's lives better!
In the study of magic, I also have this kind of thinking, so I was able to find the connection between the variant runes through mathematical modeling and property analysis, and finally summarized the existence of the four basic runes."
Xia Lin carefully put away the chalcedony for the demonstration and handed them to the maid beside him, explaining the meaning of scientific thinking to Her Royal Highness.
"Perhaps in our empire, an incredible wise man was born!"
When the Empress Dorothea heard Xia Lin's words, she said her evaluation of Xia Lin to the other three ladies with some emotion, and just when Xia Lin hurriedly wanted to be modest, Her Royal Highness continued:
"Sir Charlin, I think I have been persuaded by you, and while I am interested in what you call scientific thinking, I am also curious about the problems that a wise man like you would encounter.
To get back to the point, you're here more than just to let me see the construction plan for the second phase of the industrial park, right?"
"Indeed, Your Highness, although the second phase of construction can bring us more profits, we currently have a problem, that is, the shortage of raw materials.
In our newly built factory, we need a large number of machines, each of which requires two or three hundred pounds of steel, and the total amount is about three thousand pounds of steel.
I hope that Her Royal Highness will initiate the Board of Directors of the Star Blue Industrial Park and convene the directors to discuss ways to resolve this issue."
Facing the question of the princess, Xia Lin nodded and said his troubles briskly.
"Three thousand?! That's enough steel to equip a Guards regiment! Do you know what that means?!
It's impossible for the board of directors of the Starblue Industrial Park to raise such a lot of steel, and even if our business alliance works together, it is impossible to raise so much steel, unless the Imperial Capital is stopped from building weapons and armor to be transported to the north!"
Princess Dorothea had been shocked enough today, but Xia Lin's lion opening still made her face full of shock.
Couldn't this clever guy think that he was just a princess? No matter how you think about it, there is no way to have the power to mobilize so much steel!
"Your Royal Highness, what if I say that when my steel mill is established, I will be able to produce at least 7,500 pounds of steel every day?"
Xia Lin smiled undeniably and said confidently.
"7500 pounds of steel? Sir Charlin, how is this possible?!"
Dai'er, who had been silently watching Xia Lin talking with admiration on the side, couldn't help but exclaim when she heard this terrible yield.
Although she doesn't like to study and do business very much, the Ervi family runs the coal industry, and under the influence of day and night, Dale also has an idea of some of the industries involved in the family, and when she hears the terrible figure of 7,500 heavy steel produced a day, she can't help it.
"7500 pounds of steel? I think it would be possible if Sir Charlin had said it.
It's just that unless we can convince the Minister of Fosk to stop the military's weapons order, as Her Royal Highness said, even with the power of the commercial alliance, we will not be able to get so much steel!"
Elsa had an experience, but she was slightly able to accept the frighteningly high yield in Xia Lin's mouth, and she calmly analyzed.
"That...... 1,500 pounds of steel, can the alliance make it up?"
Xia Lin thought about it, since this matter is so difficult, then simply build the electric arc furnace first, and then carry out the construction of other factories after the electric arc furnace smelts steel.
Although this lengthens the implementation time of the second phase of the plan, and also increases the processing difficulty of the machine tool factory, it is still a solution.
"1500 heavy? If we could extend the time to one month, I think it would be possible!"
Dorothea said after a moment of silence.
"Then 1500 pounds! Within a month, the alliance will provide 1,500 heavy steel, and in exchange, I will provide 25% of the equity of these six factories to Her Royal Highness, and 40% of the equity for the distribution of alliance members!
But I have a small suggestion that I would like to hear from Queen Dorothy, and that is that it is better if the ownership of the steel mill should be wholly owned by the royal family."
After saying this, Xia Lin felt that there were really many obstacles between running from the handicraft industry in the Middle Ages to the modern industry, if it weren't for the power of magic, he would probably still be thinking about how to build a crucible to refine crucible steel!
I just hope that the magic version of the electric arc furnace I designed can be successful at one time, otherwise I will have to ask the business alliance for more help.
"Only 40%?"
"Only 40%!
」
"There are so many members of the Alliance, Sir Charrain, you will become everyone's public enemy like this!"
Just when Xia Lin and Her Royal Highness the Empress looked at each other and expressed an attitude of not giving an inch, Elsa Hozia on the side heard the news, but she frowned slightly and reminded Xia Lindao.
