Chapter 195, Part 3
After Jiang Luoluo finished breakfast, she washed the wooden bowl she used for eating clean and filled the stone pot on the fire with water.
He Shou checked the position of the sun and judged that it should be about time, so he carried his small backpack, which was full of stuff, and walked with Shou toward Qing's house.
As expected, by the time Jiang Luoluo and Shou arrived, the three of them had almost finished exchanging feelings and their attention had shifted to their business.
They were holding a pile of transparent stones, exchanging ideas and arguing with each other.
The Qing group has already discussed half of the directions and goals that Jiang Luoluo had previously determined.
After all, they already had a general idea of what they wanted to discuss before they came, and their exchanges were only about some details and specific implementation.
Most intelligent people have equally good minds, and since things aren't that complicated, the methods they come up with are mostly similar. Even if there are some subtle differences, they can still determine whether it's something they should get involved in.
If it's not something you're primarily responsible for completing, then there's no need to meddle too much. It's not like you feel you have too little to do and you have to interfere with how others do things.
Moreover, Qing, Heng, and Yuan all respect and trust each other, so they are respected and trusted by the other to have the ability to accomplish this task.
Jiang Luoluo listened for a while and quickly pieced together the progress of the discussion. She then naturally found a gap and joined in the discussion.
Watching over Jiang Luoluo, he was shocked once again. Compared to the equally talkative cub, he could only act as a gofer, constantly going among the transparent stones to select those that met the requirements and delivering them to the group.
After a whole morning of discussion, the telescope project has a complete production process.
From the very beginning, it should have been the children of Yuerdong who regularly provided a certain number of transparent stones, which were then delivered to the homes of Qing, Heng, and Yuan in different proportions.
These transparent stones will receive three different percentages of payment depending on whether they are "raw stones", "preliminary polishing", or "fine polishing".
Because the children of Fish Cave are only one link in the entire production line, they cannot receive payment directly. They can only receive a corresponding proportion of the payment after the final telescope is completed and successfully exchanged.
It sounds a bit irregular, there's no guaranteed minimum wage, and if they can't "exchange" the telescopes, they're basically working for free.
But in reality, this was considered quite generous treatment within the tribe.
Not all efforts yield results, especially in tribes.
Just like hunting, not every hunt yields a sufficient harvest; sometimes, not only is there no gain, but the lives of the tribe are also lost in the process.
Compared to such a tragic consequence, merely "losing everything" is a very mild price for the children of Yuerdong.
Then came Qing, who obtained these transparent stones. He didn't need to undertake the heavy production work, but he needed to constantly study the relationship between the thickness of the lens and the magnification effect until he determined a stable and standard thickness difference requirement.
It sounds simple, like you just need to find the best ratio.
However, Qing is looking for more than one standard ratio—how thick should a lens be to see 100 meters away, and how thick should a lens be to see 150 meters away…
What Qing needs to do is to be as meticulous as possible, and determine the most suitable lens thickness for each distance according to different distance and distance requirements.
It can be said that Qing's task, though seemingly simple, could be completed in a very crude manner, such as determining a standard for a transparent lens every hundred meters.
To put it simply, it wouldn't be unreasonable to establish a standard for a transparent lens every ten meters or even one meter.
To what extent one can achieve something, and to what extent one should achieve it, depends on one's own physical condition.
Currently, Qing's priority is to first research and develop several standards for transparent lenses based on the field of vision required for hunting, and then hand them over to Henglai for processing.
