862 late bloomer
After Lander's Guiyun left port, he did not contact Lan Ze again for several months.
Although he agreed to Lanze buying a stake in his fishing boat and sharing a room on the boat, he never responded to Lanze's invitation to participate in ocean plastic management.
But I finally agreed.
Because Lanze gave him something.
Twelve in a dozen, "Tianshan Ice Silk" men's underwear.
This fabric is a new product developed by several graduate students of Lanze.
Their laboratory is called "Tianshan School" and their product is called "Ice Silk". You can name it freely and the fabric they produce is Tianshan Ice Silk. There is no problem at all. Although there are no silkworms.
The biggest advantage of fabric is that it can adjust the body temperature according to the temperature and humidity, achieving the so-called warm in winter and cool in summer effect.
It is as smooth as silk and has excellent moisture removal properties.
The first few batches of trial production don't have a lot of fabric, and it takes too much fabric to make long clothes and trousers. Let's put it all together and make it into small trousers. This will save materials.
It's not available on the market yet, and the company's pre-sale price is sky-high, but it's free to try.
So, Lan Ze proudly sent a dozen shorts to the Guiyun. They were also shipped on an expedited basis.
A small cargo plane flew over from a transit island hundreds of kilometers away, leaving only a pack of brand-new underwear for the Guiyun.
Randshin opened the package, and after being stunned, he actually gave the new pants to his male crew member.
Each person is given two. There are no women's ones, so Sister Deloitte doesn't have them.
The male crew members actually wore them too.
Because, they really need it.
The drinking water on board is bottled water brought from land.
Domestic water comes from the seawater desalination device. When it is started, the filter element needs to be replaced regularly. In other words, consumables are consumed.
Floating on the sea, the purified fresh water is enough for washing your face and brushing your teeth, but taking a shower and washing clothes every day is a bit of a luxury.
As for normal healthy men, no one would remember to wash their private parts before going to bed.
Not a woman.
Living on a boat, even if you can't touch the sea water, you will still sweat.
If the trousers become smelly after being worn for a few days, they need to be soaked and washed with waves. If the waves are too strong, the clothes will wear out easily. Therefore, it is a vicious cycle and the consumption of tight-fitting trousers is a bit fierce.
Half a month after getting these new shorts, Rand landed on the shore and flew over to find Lan Ze.
Because he had a brother on board. He wore shorts for half a month without thinking of changing them.
It's so comfortable and refreshing that it feels like you just put it on.
If it's silk, it's probably as comfortable as it is in the first few days of wearing it, but it's definitely not as strong and resistant.
Lan Ze took some time to take Landshin to visit the Tianshan School laboratory.
The laboratory is in the university town anyway, to be precise, on his own territory in the Academy of Biological Sciences.
Lanze has a laboratory in the basement of the Academy of Biological Sciences, but it is basically an empty shell. Except for the pipette gun, there are few toys that he can operate by himself.
It just so happens that any laboratory his students want to set up can be installed in the empty shell of their mentor. In addition to the Tianshan sect, there are also Honghuahui and Jingjuecheng in his territory...For now, the Tianshan sect is the most prosperous.
All of Lan Ze's resources have been used by the students. If they need anything else, he can apply to the college. As long as he is thick-skinned, patient, and not greedy, there are no resources that he cannot get.
Ice silk is basically a piece of elastic "knitted" fabric that slowly grows out of a bare plant. It grows a bit slowly. But if you consider that it is directly from inorganic matter to fabric, the efficiency is quite high.
...worry-free.
It would be more worry-free if shorts were grown directly.
Lanze didn't know what the students were thinking when they designed this thing.
Anyway, the people in the northwest creation marketing department like this material and plan to put it on the international market.
The rich in a class society are extremely rich. There must be something that shows nobility that others cannot even touch, so that they can be happy.
Underwear is something that most people cannot touch when worn at the bottom. If someone touches it... just worship it.
It is precisely because the output is not high that it can be sold at a high price.
However, after Lan Ze heard Land Letter introduce their trial situation, he felt that these pants are actually more suitable for... extreme working environments where people often don't take showers and have no conditions to change clothes. High-end is quite high-end and is very suitable for...
Advanced labor protection supplies.
For example, it is used on space stations and airships.
The students were very excited after hearing the trial feedback. Because this fabric is useful.
However, how to sell goods is not part of their and Lanze's work. What they can do is just give feedback to the company about the situation.
Lan Ze doesn't care about selling goods either. Let the people in the company sell blindly.
After visiting the Tianshan School's "fabric tree", Lan Ze took advantage of the weekend to take RANDX to the beach to see the company's seawater test site.
Plastic organisms that collect ocean plastics are the company's priority, and several varieties and major categories are available in the test site. New varieties of cage culture are already being developed; experimental types are being cultivated, but they have not yet been formed; it is even early to finalize
Very.
Landsin visited carefully and asked in detail.
Then we signed a cooperation intention with the experimental group responsible for plastic biology.
Deep binding is inevitable. But there is no harm in it.
It’s not like we can’t accommodate a few more scientists on the Guiyun. After a while, new varieties will be formed and experiments will be carried out on the ship. If we can make more money, we can add a high-power desalination machine first to create conditions for bathing every day.
.
"How is the business now?" Lan Zedou asked before parting.
"The fishing industry itself is doing okay. However, we have no shipping channels for industrial seafood. It is not a problem to make ends meet."
Lan Ze pondered for a long time before he figured out what he meant.
Business is bleak and he doesn't say it directly. Lander is still as arrogant as before.
"You guys eat the edible fish that you can't sell?" Lan Ze asked suspiciously.
Lander Xinheheyile: "Would you like to have something to eat together?"
"Do you regret it?"
The boat was cramped and humid, and there was a fishy smell everywhere.
Occasionally staying for a few days to have fun is fresh and interesting. If you stay for a long time and have to work, it is definitely not as comfortable as on land.
"I originally studied this. If I don't go into the sea, how can I pick up my major?" Landsin said seriously. "That's my own boat."
What else could Lan Ze say? He patted his brother on the shoulder.
"Come on. Talk if you have something to say."
Those shoulders are extraordinarily thick. Over the decades, I have never let up in training.
Although he obviously has perseverance and ideals, he could only live in the world for the past few decades.
It is said that a late bloomer blooms. The waves in this world wash away all the heroes.
He was really late. He was late... If he hadn't built his own boat, such an old novice might not have had a boat at all.
Landsin just smiled:
Chapter completed!
