Chapter 545: The System Does Not Deal with “Human Affairs”
After finishing her meal in the public kitchen, Shen Zheng went straight back to her room.
After making sure the doors and windows were fastened, she turned on the system.
Finished products.
"Acrylate... no, polycarbonate... no. What about acrylonitrile and molybdenum catalysts needed to synthesize them?"
not a single one.
Shen Zheng thought she had missed something, so she slid her fingers back and forth across the page, but no matter how hard she searched, she couldn't find any finished chemical raw materials.
Not right.
Shen Zheng still didn't believe it, so she looked through it several times. This search took her another quarter of an hour.
"Really do not have......"
Shen Zheng stopped moving and sat on the round stool, thinking alone.
The rice seeds rewarded by the known system, as well as the tool drawings and medical books she had exchanged, actually have similarities on some level.
That's "renewable" on some level.
As for why Shen Zheng used "certain levels" to describe this "renewable", it is because this "renewable" means "can be preserved", "can be inherited", and "can be mastered".
In other words, "it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."
The chemical raw materials were available, but how these raw materials were obtained from nature, how they were extracted, and how they were synthesized, many of which even Shen Zheng could not figure out all at once.
If the humanities represent the cultural heritage and inheritance of thousands of years, then the sciences represent countless explorations and innovations.
That's why the system wouldn't let Shen Zheng directly obtain the chemical raw materials she needed. How much could she exchange from the system? It wasn't enough.
Shen Zheng touched his chin and chose to change his thinking - looking for relevant books.
Instead of using ready-made ones, it's okay to extract the synthetic raw materials yourself according to the steps in the book, right?
Sure enough, after half a quarter of an hour of searching, she finally got what she wanted and found a book in a corner of the book section...
"A refined version of the junior high school third grade chemistry enlightenment textbook?!"
There is a line of obscene small words at the bottom of this textbook - Note: After completing the research on the world, you will be able to exchange for the advanced version of the textbook.
Oh—it’s still in a stepped style.
Shen Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The system actually has such a... plain and simple book.
Let's just be enlightened, Shen Zheng consoled herself with a smile. Some things have to be done step by step.
But the next moment, the smile froze on Shen Zheng's face.
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, pointed at the system screen and asked subconsciously: "System, is your price... wrong? This is just an introductory book on chemistry?"
One thousand points!
You can buy ten copies of the Medicine King Collection and still have some left! You can make ten Li Shiyuans grin with laughter! You can even exchange related items in ten areas such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, greatly improving the quality of life of the people!
The points that can be used to do so many things can be exchanged for a chemistry enlightenment book?
Shen Zheng felt that this deal was not cost-effective no matter how she looked at it.
And she still remembers clearly what was taught in the chemistry class in the third year of junior high school - water, air, metals and non-metals, acids, bases, salts and other knowledge that is so basic that it cannot be more basic.
One thousand points! This is pure rip-off!
Shen Zheng held on to the last glimmer of hope and clicked on the cover countless times, and finally confirmed that the system had decided to kill her this time.
"Okay, okay." Shen Zheng laughed angrily and poked the screen: "I'll think about it myself! I can memorize the periodic table of chemical elements and make my own enlightenment textbook, right? I can save a thousand points."
In fact, she can't even get a hundred points, let alone a thousand.
But this teaching material was made by her, and she didn't know how the system would judge it.
But there is no way.
It's obvious that the system is trying to force something to happen.
Shen Zheng sat on the stool and thought for a long time before he realized the purpose of checking the system this time.
——She wants to make optical glasses.
Synthetic resin is not an option because the raw materials are too complicated. Natural transparent minerals are also not an option because the raw materials are too expensive.
Natural resin...is yellowish and brownish in color and cannot meet the optical refraction requirements, but you can give it a try.
But right now, it seems that there is only one most suitable material for glasses.
--Glass.
In terms of comprehensive performance, synthetic resin lenses are definitely better than glass lenses, but glass lenses are not without advantages.
It has high hardness and is wear-resistant. Although its optical properties and light transmittance are not as good as synthetic resins, it can still be used. Its disadvantages are that it is heavy and not resistant to falling.
The higher the degree, the thicker and heavier the glass. But compared with being able to see things clearly, this shortcoming can be ignored, right?
Moreover, the production of glass is a thousand times simpler than that of synthetic resin, and the required raw materials can be found in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it will take some effort to find them in the early stages.
Shen Zheng remembered that when she was looking for a chemistry book just now, she seemed to have glanced at a book on glass production processes. She was silent for a moment, then found the book from the system.
Good news – cheaper than a chemistry book.
Bad news—not 998, not 698, just 198.
Can't afford to change.
Shen Zheng pinched her thigh, gritted her teeth, took out a pen and paper, frantically searched her memory, and then stumbled over and over to list the required ingredients one by one.
Silica sand - quartz sand.
Sodium carbonate - wood ash, salt.
Feldspar, fluorite and other minerals - common natural minerals.
Limestone… also has it.
As for other auxiliary materials, they are not like synthetic resins, which require several or even dozens of detours to obtain.
After Shen Zheng finished writing, she picked up the straw paper and blew on it with satisfaction.
It should be said that if the brain is not used it will rust.
Before she picked up the pen, she felt that she might have forgotten almost everything, but who would have thought that she would be "guided by God" and write more and more smoothly.
——Being able to write it down is almost equivalent to being able to create it!
If it really doesn’t work... ask the system for help.
The most urgent thing right now is to ask Diwu Tanwei and Wei Que to help find and select good quality quartz sand and fluorite - if the raw materials are used well, the manufacturing process will be more efficient!
Shen Zheng put the straw paper in her arms, got up and went out to find Liang Fu.
Liang Fu is also half a living map. He might know what these minerals are called in the Great Zhou and in which areas they are produced in abundance.
......
Now the cloth workshop and the printing workshop have started to develop land at the same time, and Wu Quan's construction team has also expanded.
The county residents gradually had more money in their hands, so their attitude towards their living quarters was no longer as "casual" as before - plugging a leak with straw and making do with mud when a wall collapsed.
Nowadays, if a house is truly uninhabitable, county residents will consider renovating it or building one or two new houses.
Wu Quan's construction team is just starting out, and most of the team members are apprentices, so the price is reasonable. County residents who really want to renovate their houses are also happy to find them.
To put it in the words of the county residents, "I can earn a few dozen coins a day working for the county, so why not go to work and stay at home to repair the house?"
After doing this calculation, many villagers really had an idea in their minds.
And there’s one more thing.
