Greetings, Mister Principal

Chapter 19: Interlude

Reiner vaguely remembered that on the earth, there was a concept of an impact factor for the ranking of academic journals, which was roughly the ratio of the number of times a paper was cited to the total number of papers. It was often used to refer to the quality of papers in journals. Were there similar indicators to judge various academic journals?

However, it was a pity that this world did not yet have such a mechanism. Since modern magic has only been established for three hundred years, various systems were still being explored, and in most cases, people would only pay attention to some things when the problems occurred.

Reiner even thought that if he could become a member of the high-level magic council, you might be able to promote academic reforms. However, it was just a thought.

Putting down the catalog in his hand, Reiner thought for a while and finally decided to wait for the review results of the paper to come back before replying.

It was late at night, and Reiner stretched and decided to read some books for another hour and go to bed.

He had a very fulfilling life these two days. The books in this world contained a lot of knowledge. Reiner combined them with the knowledge in his own mind and figured out to what extent the magic of this world had developed.

Magic was divided into Elements, Alchemy, Astrology, Necromancy, Transformation, Law, and other categories. Among them, astrology and necromancy were more derived from ancient magic. Modern theories have not yet delved into those areas. Element and alchemy were relatively easy to understand.

From the comparison of the various theories Reiner gathered, the study of magic theory in this world was basically equivalent to the embryonic period of science on earth, but it was developing rapidly. His Excellency Isaris Alberton, the master of the law category, proposed the three laws of motion as early as fifty years ago, and directly rewritten almost all related spell models.

Reiner also saw many familiar theories, but in the end, he set his sights on the alchemy category.

With the concept of element mass proposed by His Excellency Eagles Ferdo, the determination of the mass of each element has been popular in the alchemist community for nearly fifty years. So far, the masses of the forty-six elements discovered have been determined. Everyone's goal was to find the law between finding new elements and finding elements.

New elements could still be discovered occasionally, but the laws between the elements seemed to be invisible.

"I wonder if this world also has a periodic law of elements?"

Reiner thought for a while, then he noticed that something was outside the window.

Looking outside, he realized that it was a small feral cat with tiger stripes.

"How did it get up here."

Reiner smiled, opened the window. The little feral cat immediately jumped into the room, seemingly to be frozen by the cold wind outside.

The little feral cat looked around in the room, then looked at Reiner.

"Meow"

It gave a soft cry.

"Are you hungry? But I have nothing to eat."

Reiner put the unfinished dinner on the table on the floor. It was a bacon sandwich. He originally kept half of it for supper.

"Meow~"

Seeing food, the little feral cat seemed to be very happy. It circled around the dinner plate before touching the food.

Unexpectedly, the cat stretched out its paws and pulled apart the sandwich, then grabbed the bacon inside, turning a blind eye to the vegetables and bread on both sides.

Were the cats in the magic world all this smart?

Reiner's lips twitched. He watched the little feral cat finish eating the bacon, lick its paw, and then walk through the room as if patrolling the territory before jumping out from another window..

Everything was quiet again, and Reiner tidied the plate up and lay down on the bed.

The moon outside the window was bright, the stars were shining. The night scene was like calm lake water.

......

At noon the next day, Reiner received the news that the first batch of Cola samples had been produced, and took Claire to the Antoine Alchemy Workshop in the town.

"It's so efficient, Mr. Antoine.".

Reiner praised. The one hundred bottles of Cola placed in front of him were packed in lightweight glass bottles with metal caps. The label on the bottle was designed by Reiner with help from Sharon. It said "Luna Nova Cola ", using black and red color, simple but not ordinary.

In the process of reading Sharon's experimental notes, Reiner discovered that the girl's sketching skills were very good. After inquiring, he found that Sharon was good at drawing when she was a child, but because of her father's insistence, she gave up drawing and concentrated on studying magic.

Hearing this, Reiner proposed to sponsor Sharon to continue to study painting. In his opinion, image design would definitely be of great use in the future.

"As long as the alchemy magic circle is completed, producing these things is very simple."

Antoine pointed to the shining magic circle in the room.

Over there, a bottle was taken from the box in midair by an inexplicable force, and the sugar water in the other bucket was lifted up and slowly flowed into the bottle, forming a curve in the air. Then, the bottle unexpectedly turned upside down and quickly flew to a glass container that had a tube.

The tube was inserted into the mouth of the bottle until it reached the bottom of the bottle, and then an airflow emerged from the tube. At the same time, the bottle began to vibrate slightly, mixing the gas with the sugar water.

Immediately afterward, the bottle was turned upside down and sealed by the metal bottle cap with wrinkled edges designed by Reiner.

After that, the printed label flew to the bottle and stuck on the bottle. Then the entire bottle of Cola fell into the temperature-controlled box. In this way, the production of a bottle of Cola was completed, which was different from the earth.

Although the whole process was complicated, it actually took no more than one minute. Including the time to replace the raw materials, it took only two hours to produce a hundred bottles of Cola. And this was just one production line.

This kind of efficiency was absolutely impossible on the earth. The preparation of the production line alone would take a lot of time, let alone the manpower required to work in the product line. But in this world, it could be easily handled by a none-ring alchemist.

Praise the magic.

Surprised at how productive this world was, Reiner nodded and then asked.

"Mr. Antoine, do you have any thoughts on the distribution channels?"

Antoine heard Reiner's question and picked up a small stack of letter paper from another table.

"I contacted a few old friends who always look after my business, and for the time being, this is the shipping list for the first batch of customers."

Reiner looked at it and found that most of them were pharmacy stores, which was far from the catering industry he initially envisioned. However, thinking about it, Cola on the earth originally existed as a medicine, Reiner was not surprised by it.

It was just that the quantity of these orders was very small, and the largest order was only about twenty bottles. No one wanted to accept this novel beverage. The order was placed only for the sake of Antoine.

"It seems that if we want to sell, we still have to look at word of mouth.".

Reiner was not worried that Cola wouldn't be sold, but it seemed that if he wanted it to become popular, he still needed an opportunity
