Chapter 339 Weights and Measures
As soon as the rough draft was completed, the Rock King blessed them. These objects were blessed by the Rock King's divine power. Although the materials of these objects were changing rapidly, their weight and precision did not change at all.
It's breathtaking.
"This thing is blessed by me, and its quality will not change for hundreds or thousands of years."
"Thank you, Emperor."
Then the Emperor disappeared.
Ren Lian Lingyi then called Lei Dan to refresh the exhausted and drowsy jade craftsman and drive away his fatigue.
"Thank you very much, master craftsman."
This person also deserves Ren Lian Lingyi's gratitude. His skills in seeing through everything really make people feel magical. According to the system's rating, his carving skills have reached LV10, which is a true divine realm in terms of carving.
"This..." The jade craftsman only knew that Ren Lian Lingyi was from Inazuma, but he didn't know his name.
"My name is Ren Lingyi, and I am appointed as the record officer of the Inazuma Shogun's attendant , and the new artisan magistrate."
The Artisan Trade Commission is similar to the Ministry of Industry in modern society, and is responsible for managing Inazuma's industrial departments and industry-related personnel.
Most of them are alchemists, industry-related scholars, and general blacksmiths. As for those families who forge weapons and armor, they are managed by the society.
From now on, those forging families will be responsible for high-quality swords, while Ren Lian Lingyi will be responsible for mass-produced standard swords.
In the world of Teyvat, it is still a bit difficult to surpass traditional forging by alchemy and industry alone, but it is still possible at the low end.
"Greetings, Brother Renlian. What kind of magic is this? It's so...?"
"Haha, this is the art of thunder pills." Ren Lian Lingyi said, "This is my unique technique."
After thinking about it, Ren Lian Lingyi took out a solidified thunder pill with a pain in his heart. This was a solidified thunder pill he made a long time ago. Among the thunder pills that could still be circulated to the outside world, this thing was considered to be relatively high-end.
"This is something I made using the Thunder Pill Technique. If you want to use it on a daily basis, you can add some Thunder Essential Oil to activate it. Once activated, it will automatically help heal the people around it."
"In an emergency, the electric crystal can actually activate the thunder pill, but it will cause some damage to the thunder pill."
Ganyu added, "I remember the Solidified Lightning Pill last appeared in the Feiyun Auction House in Liyue. The final transaction price was 500 million Mora. It was bought by several big families in Shenglu Hall. The most precious thing is that there is no market for this thing. Many people paid a lot of money to buy it but couldn't buy it at all."
Ren Lian Lingyi explained the function of the Thunder Pill. "The Thunder Pill can cure most physical diseases and has a restraining effect on most curses, karma and the like. The most important thing is that it can extend life in disguise. The material used to make this thing is quite rare (the Thunder Pill technique was created during a period of time after it was fully developed), so even I don't have much."
Well~ Ren Lian Lingyi has the art of thunder pill, and it is true that he cannot use this solidified thunder pill now.
The jade craftsman then realized the value of the solidified thunder pill and quickly put it away. Then the few of them chatted with each other and said goodbye.
Since Ganyu has to accompany Ren Lian Lingyi frequently these days, she will probably have to work overtime for a long time. Ren Lian Lingyi gave Ganyu another thunder pill out of pity .
Although Ganyu tried her best to refuse, Ren Lian Lingyi forced it on her on the grounds that he didn't need it.
Ren Lian Lingyi looked at the remaining dozen or so Thunder Pills with great sadness. Alas, why didn't he think of making more when they were so easy to make in the first place?
Now I don’t even have enough money to give away.
Among these dozen or so , seven cannot be moved. That is according to the plan. The championship rewards of the seven major competitions will be given out successively in the next ten years.
...Ren Lian Lingyi quickly rushed back to Inazuma...
Inazuma First Precision Instrument Factory.
This is the place where Lei Dianying secretly serves as the factory director. All the craftsmen working here are above Level 6, and their only responsibility is to create sufficiently precise machinery.
The craftsmen in the precision factory have obviously completed the initial differentiation of their jobs. They are currently divided into fitters, lathe operators, milling operators, planers, grinders, sheet metal workers, boring operators, stamping operators, shearing operators, bending operators, foundries, forging operators, heat treatment operators, etc.
Most craftsmen are actually all-rounders, and they are very skilled in each technique.
In its predecessor, Inazuma First Precision Instrument Factory had even learned and optimized Kanreya's Puppet Sword Ghost technology, and created a more powerful and precise Puppet Sword Ghost that could adjust the power of its attacks [Model Worker·Sword Ghost].
Unfortunately, although the maximum output of this sword ghost can reach LV90, for some reason it was not recorded by the earth veins.
But this is also very good. At least we don’t have to worry about such a guy suddenly jumping out of the earth veins and running rampant to hurt people.
After Ren Lian Lingyi rushed back to Inazuma First Precision Instrument Factory, he quickly arranged for people to manufacture relevant measuring instruments based on the master template, and then arranged for the shogunate's personnel to begin measuring the differences between the various weights currently on the market and the standard weights based on these measuring instruments.
The test results were not very optimistic.
The various measuring instruments produced by Inazuma First Precision Instrument Factory have the highest accuracy, but there are still some errors, but this error is still within an acceptable range.
But not to mention the things made in other places. There was a 10-gram weight that had an error of more than ten milligrams, and a 100-meter tape measure that had a standard error of up to five centimeters.
This kind of error, not to mention Ren Lian Lingyi, made all the people who participated in the test break out in cold sweats. You have to know that the measuring tape was produced by a leather shop that is quite famous among the people, and many craftsmen use the measuring tapes from this leather shop in their homes.
Then, of course, the data of Inazuma's various weights and measures were updated, and at the same time, various alchemy shops and blacksmith shops on the market that had excessive errors were rectified.
From top to bottom, the entire Inazuma's measuring tools began to be recycled and updated in order of importance, starting with the laboratories, then the factories, then the various large families, and then the civilian market.
At the same time, various formulas and other things had to be updated, which was another rather troublesome matter. However, there was no other way around it. Who had let us ignore the so-called weights and measures before? It was already a good thing that there were no casualties in the process.
Finally, when the measurement controversy reached the market that affected the residents, people were shocked to find that their understanding over the years had such a large error. In particular, the leather shop that sold products with a huge error was almost burned down. After all, among so many shops, theirs had the most outrageous error.
Then the entire Inazuma spontaneously carried out a unification of weights and measures.
The shogunate also took advantage of the opportunity to launch a long-prepared old-for-new campaign to help promote the recycling of old measuring instruments, while also making new measuring instruments out of more sturdy and durable composite materials and returning them to farmers, fishermen, vendors and other residents.
