He prepared various materials with ease. In view of the good price of white sugar last time, Huang Xuan deliberately purchased more than 10 tons. In addition, there were 5,000 tons of wheat and rice, and about 00 tons of corn. At the end of the 17th century, Europe This high-yielding crop has been widely cultivated.
The total volume of goods transiting the Port of Santos every year exceeds 70 million tons. Therefore, numerous import and export companies and agencies have been established in the neighboring cities of Santos and Sao Paulo. You don’t even need to know a person, just take out your credit card and swipe it. An enthusiastic Brazilian came forward.
Due to the level of the base, its material requirements are gradually reduced. Basically, as long as the material can be naturally degraded in a short time, it can be carried with a small amount of energy. The short period of time referred to here can be decay, or it can be loss of form such as dissolution.
A small trading company quickly purchased a sufficient amount of grain and shipped it to Santos. The price of medium-quality wheat was US$90 per ton, Thai rice was US$0, and corn was US$150. Together, it was only equivalent to more than 9 million yuan. It would be difficult to lose money if you were left in the jungle of the Amazon.
In addition, Huang Xuan also specially ordered a set of clothes made of natural fibers instead of artificial fibers, with no zippers or buttons, and the style was as retro as possible. Although Lorraine said this was useless, it was a psychological comfort to Huang Xuan It's huge, better than nothing, and it's the ugliest thing when it's stripped naked.
Get ready and set off on the afternoon of June 5th at the starting point of the ultra-long period declared by Lorraine.
…
"P18T1866W890."
Huang Xuan squinted his eyes and stepped out of the air, T1866? 19th century? Perhaps the only thing he knew about this era was the Opium War.
"Where are we?"
There are thick oaks all around, and occasionally there are a few poplars and the like standing high above the trees. There are lush branches above the head, and there are thick fallen leaves under the feet, which will make a squeaking sound when stepped on.
"Kaiserslautern, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. 96% similar. But now it's called Prussia."
"Kaiserslautern?" Huang Xuan patted his forehead and said, "Team? Football?"
"There are less than 10,000 people here now." Lorraine's voice was muffled in Huang Xuan's ears. He scanned the surroundings and said, "We are in a big forest. It may take a day to get out."
Huang Xuan looked at his feet and said I'm sorry, brother, I forgot to buy you a pair of good shoes.
Lorraine continued to scan the surroundings. Since the electrolytic aluminum plant was able to stably supply electricity, he has used energy much more frequently. However, the base has now been moved to Brazil, and the loss of energy transmission has gradually increased.
"I thought the teleportation point you chose has been passed by previous people." Huang Xuan tightened his clothes, looked in the direction and started walking.
"That's true, but after time and space oscillations, the plane will always change a little." Lorraine didn't like to waste time. He waited for a while and continued: "Currently we can stay in this time and space for about five days. Time, hope you can find something valuable.”
"It seems that the base upgrade is indeed useful." Huang Xuan said as he walked forward: "But five days is still too short."
"The length of stay depends on the time period when P11 leaves. Only if the time period when leaving is longer can the proportionally longer stay time be obtained. The base's current analysis capabilities have been enhanced, but a longer time cannot always be guaranteed. ”
"I know." Huang Xuan became impatient, "It takes a day to walk. Fortunately, we don't need to walk back, otherwise we wouldn't have to do anything."
…
In the second half of the 19th century, Germany had just entered the rhythm of unification. Four years ago, Bismarck became the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Prussia. In his first speech to the Prussian Parliament, he loudly declared: "What Germany pays attention to is not Prussian liberalism, but Prussian liberalism. It is power... Prussia must gather its strength and wait for the favorable opportunity, which we have missed several times... The great problems of the day cannot be solved by speeches and majority decisions - this is what happened in 1848 and 1849 Wrong—but with iron and blood.”
Prussia, under the control of the Iron Chancellor, won a decisive victory over Austria in 66 years, which is now, while its neighbor France will continue to launch a war four years later.
Lorraine's introduction gave Huang Xuan hope. No matter what era it was - at least in the thousands of years Huang Xuan knew, any war on earth would require a lot of food, and the more, the better.
It seems that there is an inherent reason why food has become the standard currency for plane transactions.
Walking in the forest is a disgusting thing. The forest mentioned here is not like the small bushes in the scenic area. There is everything in the inaccessible forest. Bird droppings are easier to tolerate. Reptiles are a matter of personal preference. However, rotten leaves not only emit a foul smell, but also hide mammalian excrement under the body. If you are not careful, you will There will be a slip, and what's worse, there will be moisture near the denser trees, which will save more descendants and, of course, hide more content.
Huang Xuan soon couldn't stand it anymore. He leaned on a branch and said, "Why can't you just teleport me directly to where I want to go? Isn't it possible to teleport within the plane?"
"You cannot determine time when you determine the space. Only the base itself can move within the space. This is because the base needs to occupy a coordinate. In fact, the things that the plane base can do in other planes are very limited."
"At least he can do a lot more than me." Huang Xuan shook his feet in disgust.
"That's not necessarily true." Lorraine said humbly: "The plane base can be understood as the air force of your era. Only the air force with control of the air can play a role, but this cannot replace the role of infantry."
Huang Xuan said dissatisfied: "You said I am an infantryman?"
"If you think Army sounds better."
"forget it."
While chatting wantonly, there was a whining sound in the distance. Lorraine raised her voice and said: "Congratulations, there is a sawmill nearby."
In Huang Xuan's eyes, the sky looked much bluer now, and his feet were not so slippery. The sound of the sawmill was of course more pleasant, well, except for being a little noisy.
There were only one worker and a woman cooking in the lumberyard, both farmers from Bavaria.
Kaiserslautern is in Prussia, close to the Rhine River, and nearby Bavaria. Red sausage and beer are produced here. The most famous Tsingtao beer in China also comes from the German colonial period.
Huang Xuan's arrival surprised the workers, but all the problems could be solved by saying they were lost. At this time, Germany had not yet entered the fog of militarism. Of course, no one had yet discovered the issue of the origins of the Aryans.
Lorraine's German was naturally good, but his Bavarian accent was a little off. Fortunately, the workers didn't mind this. They put down the tools at hand and treated Huang Xuan to eat bratwurst and vegetable soup.
There were very few red sausages, only two pieces as big as finger knuckles, and there was a lot of vegetable soup, but to be honest, it didn't taste very good. Huang Xuan drank it while holding his breath.
"Which is the largest city nearby?" Although he had already gotten the answer from Lorraine, Huang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"Kaiserslautern."
The worker's answer made Huang Xuan helpless. He continued to ask unwillingly: "How far is Hamburg from here? Can it be reached?" According to Lorraine's information, Hamburg should be the most economically developed city in Germany.
The female worker then served the black bread and said with a smile: "When we get to Hamburg, we have to go to the town to rent a carriage. We won't be able to get there."
"Frankfurt?"
The female worker smiled and shook her head.
"Berlin?"
Still shaking his head.
"What about Paris?" Huang Xuan's last hope is here on the border of France.
Of course it's impossible.
Huang Xuan gave up and sat down, saying, "It seems I can't buy a bunch of famous paintings and go home."
"Exchanging a large amount of materials for a small amount of goods is not cost-effective in plane transactions." What Lorraine said is naturally the knowledge of the era of big planes. The ultimate goal of transactions between planes is to obtain energy. According to Einstein According to the theory, any matter can be converted into energy. Therefore, the essence of plane trading is to save energy. After all, it is uneconomical to directly produce matter with a large amount of energy. If the required matter can be obtained directly, it will also The corresponding energy can be saved, which is also the theoretical basis of the free plane theorists.
However, these are ineffective for Huang Xuan. His purpose is not to obtain energy, but to obtain money. (To be continued)
