As the transport ship carrying the new currency sailed into the port, the priests of the Church of Fortune quickly held a sacrificial ceremony on the ship. Then the new currency was delivered to the Rat People's 24-hour shift just a few hours ago.
After a rush of work, the main body of the vault was successfully built.
The reason why it is said that the main part is completed is because auxiliary components such as the steam machinery used in the vault elevator have not yet been installed.
So in the end, Lawrence summoned a bunch of monster phantoms and had them work as coolies to go down through the makeshift hand elevator for the boxes containing currency today.
Because the old bank made of wooden boards and rammed earth has just been demolished and a new bank is still under construction, the work of exchanging work-point coupons for new star haikron can only be done in some newly built straw sheds. Okay.
When we issued work-point coupons before, we had already accumulated enough financial talents, so the whole process was very orderly.
Of course, another important reason why the order is so good is that most people record their work-point coupons in their previous bank accounts through bookkeeping.
And those currencies will be automatically converted into new crowns. They only need to exchange the work-point coupons they had on hand for pocket money.
In addition to humans, tauren and rat people also exchanged a lot of new currencies. Even the newly joined Loka fish people also exchanged a lot of currencies. But what is different from ordinary people is that after the Loka fish people get the currency,
They all took out something similar to a plastic bag and put the currency in it. It was obvious that this transparent thing was waterproof.
"What is this?" After seeing the Loka fishmen doing this, Lawrence, who was observing the currency exchange situation, quickly invited several Loka fishmen and asked in their language. "This is what you use to pretend.
That thing about money, I think this kind of container seems to be waterproof."
"This is a plastic box. It is made of a seaweed extract we call algin." After seeing Lawrence, these Loka fish people seemed very excited. It was obvious that they recognized the man who brought their entire clan to the world.
The savior who saved them from the disaster of genocide. As a result, it took Lawrence several minutes to calm them down and answer his questions.
"Algin?" After hearing this word, Lawrence frowned and thought for a moment, then carefully looked at the two pockets handed to him by the two Luokayus.
The feel of this kind of bag is very strange, somewhere between a soft plastic bag and a hard plastic box. It feels a bit like the plastic tablecloths Lawrence saw in his previous life.
"Yes. This is algin, but I only know that it is a certain kind of algae that one of our compatriots found after entering the deep sea before and was processed by humans. It is mainly used to make some kind of container.
Preserve things that are not designed to be kept in a humid environment. You know, we live in an environment where salt water is everywhere.”
Having said this, the older-looking Loka fish-man shook his head helplessly. "But to be honest, before we came to this island and became your subjects, we had never obtained any
How many things from the land are worthy of being put in such a container?"
"It wasn't until I came to the island that I obtained iron tools for the first time here, as well as containers that could store these metal tools."
"These are all things I should do. After all, you are now my subjects. Naturally, you should be able to obtain the same supplies as other subjects."
Listening to the praises given to him by the Loka fish people, Lawrence smiled sheepishly, and then turned the question back to the original direction. "By the way, is it difficult to extract and process algin like yours?"
"It shouldn't be difficult. After all, this thing is sold very cheaply among us. It is used to hold the various metal tools sent to us." The younger looking one of the two Loka fishmen said.
"But we don't know the specifics. We only know that it was sold to us by a fish man named Lan Zhao."
When Lawrence expressed that he wanted to see this fish-man, the fish-man soon came up with a group of people accompanied by his attendants. Apparently he was also exchanging currency here today, so after Lawrence showed
After looking for him, he was quickly found and sent into the room where Lawrence was.
After meeting this Loka fish-man called Cyanobacteria, Lawrence discovered that this should be a female Loka fish-man. From the various exquisite small objects hanging on her body, they were made of different colors of seaweed and previously from humans.
Judging from the cloak woven together with some dyed fibers exchanged here, this Loka fishman should be an ingenious being.
In addition to this Loka fishman, there were five or six female Loka fishmen who went upstairs with her. In addition, a young man wearing a white robe also came up.
If Lawrence remembered correctly, he should be a mid-level researcher at the Institute of Medical Sciences, and he came with Lawrence by boat when he came to this island.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Miller." Lawrence immediately recognized the identity of this young researcher with his extraordinary memory after awakening his bloodline. If he remembers correctly, he is a descendant of a certain retainer in the family.
After graduating from medical school, he came to the island out of a noble traditional loyalty.
Of course, this tradition is just a tradition. There are still a lot of things that need to be done to make the subordinates truly return to Lawrence. Fortunately, the island is now developing rapidly, and it can be seen that the future on the island is very bright, and Lawrence himself can be considered
He knows people well and takes care of them. Therefore, basically all of his followers are willing to stay on the island with peace of mind.
"I'm glad to see you too, Your Excellency." Miller bowed to Lawrence and then pointed at these women, "By the way, what business do you have with these fish-men ladies?
?Just now I heard that the attendant who brought us up said it seemed to be related to the alginate pockets before."
"Yes, it is indeed related to algin." Lawrence nodded and said, "I think these things seem to be waterproof and can be made into various shapes. So I thought these things should be of great use, so I thought
Find someone to ask what these things are about."
"Oh, that's it!" After listening to Lawrence's words, the researcher named Miller nodded, and then said with an embarrassed expression. "Actually, this is one of our previous experimental products, it's just
But from a certain point of view, it was a failure. So we tried our best to think of some ways to use this kind of thing to try to get back the money."
The reason why Miller did this is related to the rules of the island research institute. According to the rules, researchers of different levels can apply for different levels of research funds for their own research in addition to completing the assigned mandatory tasks. However, if a certain research is obviously
If you lose money, if you want to apply next time, unless you can convince the review team, otherwise the research funds will inevitably be downgraded.
This is why Miller insisted on hiring this group of fishmen to sell pockets, because he hopes to recover the capital and keep his loss rate below the prescribed ratio. Otherwise, he will definitely not be able to get the approval from the review team next time he wants to experiment.
While getting enough trial funds.
"Actually, I think this system is quite good. It can give everyone a chance to choose." Miller said after explaining why he let this group of hired Loka fish people promote products. "At least in my opinion
Come on, the system of the institute here is much friendlier to us young people than those in the empire."
"That's good, that's good." After hearing what Miller said, Lawrence's face showed a smile. The rules of the institute were discussed by him, several scholars, and Nora after synthesizing the information from the two worlds.
It was formulated later, and now it seems that these rules have indeed had very good results.
