After the call was connected, Xia Ruofei didn't beat around the bush. He went straight to the point and told Ma Xiong about the matter.
If it were other people, they would inevitably worry about whether the other party would be unhappy because it would seem that they didn't trust them. However, Xia Ruofei didn't have such scruples with Ma Xiong.
Of course, Xia Ruofei still explained a little.
Ma Xiong couldn't help but laugh after listening. He couldn't help but tease Xia Ruofei with a few words — the general manager of the Taoyuan Company was a beauty. Ma Xiong also knew that.
Xia Ruofei could only smile bitterly, but he finally got the contact information of the person in charge of this matter at Hengfeng.
Ma Xiong still attached great importance to Xia Ruofei's matter. He directly assigned the general manager of Hengfeng Auction House to be personally responsible, and the relevant arrangements, plans, designs, and so on had to be reported to him personally.
The manager of Hengfeng Auction House was surnamed Dong, and his name was Dong Jiajun. He was forty-five years old this year. He was an old minister who had followed Ma Xiong for many years. Manager Dong was fully responsible for the business of Hengfeng Auction House.
Ma Xiong gave Dong Jiajun's contact information to Xia Ruofei and said that he would immediately greet Dong Jiajun. Feng Jing could contact him at any time.
After Xia Ruofei expressed his gratitude, the two sides chatted about the auction for a while before hanging up.
Xia Ruofei saved Dong Jiajun's mobile phone number, email, and other information. He didn't rush to give it to Feng Jing — he knew Feng Jing's style. If he got the contact information now, this beautiful boss would definitely get in touch with Dong Jiajun immediately and communicate about the relevant matters.
It wasn't good to disturb other people's rest at noon.
So after Xia Ruofei saved the relevant information, he directly put the mobile phone on the bedside. Then, he took out the Spiritual Map Scroll from his palm and entered the space.
Naturally, the space was filled with a flourishing scene.
Ever since Xia Qing's help, everything in the space was organized by him. Furthermore, Xia Qing didn't need to rest or eat. In addition, time flowed thirty times faster in the Archean Realm. Some of the more time-consuming tasks could be completed in the Archean Realm, so the efficiency was especially high.
Whether it was the Archean Realm's Golden Cedar, Da Hongpao tea tree, wild ginseng, top-grade Red arowana, etc., or the Mountain's medicine garden, tea, Dendrobium, caterpillar, sucker's seedlings, hornet's, and even the sea's's's........ the sea's the sea's, the's, and even the sea's's's's....
Everything in the space was growing and expanding according to Xia Ruofei's plan.
Xia Ruofei stood in front of the Mountain Sea Realm's herb garden and looked at everything in front of him. The rich spiritual energy made him feel relaxed and happy. There was also a faint smell of the sea in the air. It came from the distant sea in the space. He couldn't help but feel an endless sense of accomplishment.
With the Ring-Tu space in hand, Xia Ruofei felt very confident.
This was his foundation. Even if the Taoyuan Company in the outside world was gone, even if he became penniless again, he could still live a very comfortable life with the Ring-Tu space.
Xia Qing was busy cutting the succulent plants. Xia Ruofei had instructed him to speed up the work in the near future. The company's Tmall flagship store was about to open soon. When the time came, the Taoyuan succulent seedlings would be sold again. The demand for them would be very high.
When he saw Xia Ruofei enter the space, Xia Qing immediately stopped what he was doing and ran over to greet Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. After giving him a few words of encouragement, he said, "Xia Qing, put down your work for now. I have something else for you to do!"
"Master, please instruct me!" Xia Qing hurriedly said.
"Let's go to the Archean Realm!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
The two of them disappeared from the Mountain Sea Realm in a flash and arrived in the Archean Realm, where the flow of time was thirty times faster.
Xia Ruofei told Xia Qing about the purpose of his visit. Xia Ruofei had previously asked Xia Qing to think about the production process when he had time. However, he hadn't been too concerned about it. Now that Feng Jing had mentioned this matter several times, Xia Ruofei felt that it was better to focus on the production process first. He didn't want to feel guilty every time he saw Feng Jing.
Xia Qing had always carried out Xia Ruofei's orders to the letter.
However, the most important point was that Xia Qing was only a soul puppet. The knowledge he had was fixed. Although he had a certain learning ability, his knowledge was limited.
In particular, Xia Qing had never heard of modern assembly lines. Asking him to do the so-called mass-production work was undoubtedly a bit too much for him to handle.
Therefore, when Xia Qing lowered his head and told Xia Ruofei that he hadn't made any progress, Xia Ruofei only smiled and patted him on the shoulder to express his understanding.
Xia Ruofei said, "It's fine. Let's study it together today. You are more familiar with the process of brewing the Jade Muscle Ointment, so you will do most of the work. I will be in charge of testing and recording!"
"Yes, Master!" Xia Qing immediately said.
Without further ado, the master and servant arrived in front of the large wooden shelf in the Archean Realm. Xia Ruofei had stored a lot of herbs there. They were mainly used to refine the Spirit Pregnancy Soup, Body Tempering Soup, and Jade Muscle Ointment.
Xia Qing skillfully began to pick the herbs, while Xia Ruofei took out a laptop and opened a document. He first entered the required quantities, ratios, and pre-processing steps into the document.
While Xia Qing was processing the herbs, Xia Ruofei found a stopwatch, a thermometer, and other necessary equipment.
Xia Qing cast an inquiring gaze at Xia Ruofei. Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Let's begin!"
Xia Qing immediately placed the herbs needed for the first step into the clay pot and poured in the Spatial Spirit Pool water.
The Spatial Spirit Pool water used to brew the ointment was stored in a measuring cylinder. All the operations were done by Xia Qing, while Xia Ruofei meticulously recorded the data.
"60 grams of honeysuckle, 30 grams of pearl powder, 40 grams of white poria …"
"Add 1 liter of water …"
Xia Ruofei paid close attention to Xia Qing's process of brewing the ointment, while his fingers flew across the keyboard of the laptop, recording every step.
In order to achieve mass production, the first step was to record the entire process of brewing the ointment. Every step, every dose, and every other detail had to be recorded. Then, they had to break it down and analyze how to automate the production through a computer-controlled production line.
Xia Ruofei was doing this kind of work.
The Jade Skin Ointment didn't use many types of herbs, but the brewing process was very particular. This included the order of putting the herbs in, the timing, and so on. If there was a mistake in any of these steps, there would be no way to brew the real Jade Skin Ointment.
Therefore, when Xia Qing was brewing the ointment, Xia Ruofei was also very busy. When Xia Qing didn't put in a single herb, Xia Ruofei would record the time and use a thermometer to measure the temperature.
Because a computer couldn't control the temperature like a human, it could only control the temperature through some fixed parameters.
The brewing of the Jade Skin Ointment was roughly divided into three steps.
The first step was to mix a portion of the herbs with the spiritual pond water and gradually add in a few other herbs. At the same time, after the spiritual pond water gradually evaporated, water would be added. This process required about three times of adding water.
The second step was to take out the decoction, throw away the dregs, pour the decoction back into the casserole, and continue to heat it up. During this process, the last two herbs that had already been ground into powder had to be added. As they were added, they had to be stirred at the same time, causing the decoction to become more and more viscous.
The third step was to simmer slowly and continuously stir at the same time. As the water continued to evaporate, the final Jade Skin Ointment was a brown paste with a unique fragrance.
If these three steps were done by a human, as long as one didn't get distracted and had a good grasp of the temperature, it wouldn't be difficult to brew one portion of the ointment.
But if it was done by a computer, it would be a lot more complicated.
It was like a simple table on a web page. If it was drawn by hand, it might only take one or two minutes. But if it was implemented with code, it would take dozens of lines, and the structure would be very complicated.
Drawing a table might be faster by hand, but drawing ten or a hundred tables would definitely be faster by a computer. This was because the same code could be copied and pasted, and it was completely a batch operation.
This was also the reason for the assembly line mass production.
If it was done slowly by a human, it might take far less time to brew one or two portions of the ointment than to research and develop mass production. But if it was to produce hundreds or thousands of portions, even if a human was tired to death, it would still be impossible to be faster than a machine.
As long as the program was debugged, other than a few steps that required manual intervention, the rest would be done by the computer in an orderly manner by pressing a button. There would definitely be no mistakes, and there would definitely be no distractions.
If the three steps of brewing the Jade Skin Ointment were to be broken down, there would be twenty to thirty steps, including every addition of ingredients, water, and stirring … Every step required time, temperature, and other parameters to control the heat. Naturally, it was quite complicated.
As time passed by, Xia Qing was very focused on controlling the heat. Slowly, a fragrance began to fill the air. Xia Qing stared at the ointment at the bottom of the casserole. Finally, he put on the insulating gloves that Xia Ruofei had provided and removed the casserole from the charcoal stove.
Xia Qing said respectfully, "Master, the first batch of Jade Skin Ointment has been brewed!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and recorded the temperature that he had measured with the thermometer into the computer. Then, he said, "Check the quality!"
"Yes, Master!" Xia Qing immediately replied.
Xia Qing checked the quality of the Jade Skin Ointment very seriously. After that, he raised his head and said, "Master, this batch of Jade Skin Ointment should be of high quality, or at least medium to high quality!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Very good, continue to brew the next batch!"
Since he was recording data, he definitely couldn't just do it once. He needed to compare different data to minimize the probability of errors.
Xia Qing was only a soul puppet, so he didn't feel tired. As for Xia Ruofei, he was as strong as an ox. All he did was record the data by the side, so he naturally didn't feel tired. Therefore, the master and servant began the second experiment without stopping.
Of course, the Jade Skin Ointment that Xia Qing had brewed couldn't be wasted. Xia Ruofei got Xia Qing to scrape off all the ointment and store it in a small, clean porcelain bottle.
After washing the casserole, Xia Qing immediately followed Xia Ruofei's instructions and repeated the process of brewing the Jade Skin Ointment. As for Xia Ruofei, he naturally recorded all the data.
The Archean Realm had a time difference of thirty times compared to the outside world. Therefore, Xia Ruofei had enough time to do this.
He and Xia Qing did a total of ten sets of experiments. The data of each set was recorded in detail.
Xia Qing was even more proficient at brewing the Jade Skin Ointment than Xia Ruofei. Therefore, he naturally succeeded in all ten attempts. Three of them produced supreme-grade ointment, while the other seven produced superior-grade ointment.
Xia Ruofei noted the quality of the final product behind each set of data.
After completing the ten sets of experiments, Xia Ruofei closed his laptop and patted Xia Qing on the shoulder with a smile. "That's all for today! Thank you for your hard work … "
Xia Qing bowed slightly and said, "Master, you're too polite …"
"Continue with your work!" Xia Ruofei said, "I'll follow up on the production of the Jade Skin Ointment. You don't have to worry about it!"
"Yes, Master!" Xia Qing said.
Xia Qing returned to the Mountain Sea Realm and continued cutting the succulent plants. As for Xia Ruofei, he returned to his room in the outside world with his laptop.
He walked to the computer desk and plugged in the laptop. After working in the Archean Realm for so long, the laptop's battery was almost depleted.
Xia Ruofei also noticed a detail. The laptop operated according to the time in the Archean Realm. Therefore, more than half a day had passed in the system, but only a few minutes had passed in the outside world.
Of course, after the laptop was connected to the wifi in the room, it quickly checked the time.
Xia Ruofei sat down, turned on the computer, and lit a cigarette. After taking a deep breath, Xia Ruofei blew out a smoke ring and began analyzing the data he had recorded today.
It was naturally impossible for the parameters of the ten sets of experiments to be exactly the same. After all, the control of the fire was more of a feeling. Furthermore, the firepower of the furnace could not be completely balanced. There were also differences in heating speed.
Xia Ruofei created a new table and entered the ten sets of data for comparison. With the data of the three sets of experiments that produced the supreme-grade Jade Skin Ointment as the benchmark, and with the data of the other sets of experiments, he analyzed a set of parameters that he believed to be the most reasonable.
Following that, Xia Ruofei's mind raced. In his mind, he continuously split and combined the steps of refining the Jade Skin Ointment. He analyzed the steps that should be followed to optimize the process for mass production.
As he pondered, he quickly typed on the laptop's keyboard.
Time passed unknowingly. When Xia Ruofei heard Huzi's mother calling him downstairs for dinner, he realized that he had already constructed more than half of the entire mass production process.
Xia Ruofei replied loudly, "Got it, Godmother. I'll be right down!"
Then, he rubbed his aching temples and revealed a satisfied smile. He muttered to himself, "It looks like I'll work overtime tonight. At least the theoretical preparations are more or less done. As for whether it will succeed, I'll have to go to the pharmaceutical factory to test it!"
