Chapter 2915: Two Types of Currency Labels, Investigation into Label Failure

To demonstrate the effect of the Translation Device, Xia Duo would turn on the Translation Device for the first half of the experience and turn it off for the second half; only by going back and forth like this could a direct comparison be made.

Currently, these councilors of the Seventon Council are connecting to the Spirit Thought Network over at Evereska by forming a temporary independent network and then using Xia Duo's Permission Level.

As far as Xia Duo knows, there are at least three existing Spirit Thought Networks over there: one belongs to the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory, and the other two were formed by Elf Mages who were temporarily summoned but have not yet disbanded—one of which is the action group that handled the Demon Descendant signal not long ago.

The network Xia Duo linked these councilors to is the large network of temporarily summoned Elf Mages, which is notable for its large number of people and high quality; in terms of actual usage effect, it is not necessarily worse than that of the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory.

"Are you all connected? We are currently in the state with the Translation Device on. If there are no other issues, I am going to rest. At midnight tonight, I will turn off the Translation Device so everyone can have a comparison."

Resting was, of course, just an excuse; it actually meant ending the meeting. Badijiaer had just connected to the Spirit Thought Network and was preparing to experience it properly. Hearing Xia Duo say this, he immediately decided to adjourn the meeting, and the others naturally had no objections.

Afterwards, Xia Duo turned off the Remote Conference System and came to the Order Force Laboratory on the Floating City, where Aiboke was already waiting for him.

Xia Duo first glanced at the pile of wood chips scattered in the experimental area, then looked at Aiboke and asked, "How is it? Are there still data anomalies?"

"Yeah, as soon as the number of transfers decreases, it becomes normal. You were thinking about that problem for two days until your hair turned white!" Aiboke complained.

Order Force is different from Arcane Magic; the internal operating mechanism is mostly concentrated on the Order Lord side. Even if I can get authorization, it is still separated by many layers when actually processing it.

Although Xia Duo's words looked like he was asking Aiboke, he actually knew that Aiboke's operations were very standard when conducting experiments; unless it was a specific interference experiment, he would absolutely not let the experimental subjects be subjected to accidental interference.

Unlike other Gold Coins that have a circle of visible glowing textures on the edge of the front and back, this coin has nothing at all. This is the situation of label failure that Aiboke just mentioned.

As he spoke, Aiboke picked up the Gold Coin that Xia Duo had re-applied the label to earlier, then picked out the other coins with failed labels and placed them on the other side of the original coin pile.

The Order Force labels developed so far are divided into two categories: one is the halo on physical currency, and the other is the balance number displayed on the Identity Card.

Xia Duo decided to check them in detail, starting with the material. The currency specifications of the Yuanche Shanghui all have unified regulations; Gold Coins and Silver Coins are made of gold-silver alloys, just with different gold-silver ratios.

Xia Duo came to the front of the two piles of coins and scanned them back and forth. At first glance, there was indeed no difference; they were all Yuanche currency of the same specification, and all had varying degrees of wear and tear.

The latter was just mentioned by Aiboke—as long as the number of transfers is high, data errors will occur—but the former is essentially a Spell imprint developed based on Order Force, which in theory can be preserved for a long time.

"Most of the physical currency is fine for now, but a small portion of the labels have failed."

"No, but it's not too late to record it now."

But at this moment in Xia Duo's eyes, this coin stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens, appearing exceptionally prominent in the pile of coins because it had no Order Force label.

But in Xia Duo's view, this problem shouldn't exist at all. He couldn't figure out why labels that should be able to exist for a long time would fail so much in such a short period.

And the ones Aiboke took out right now were the ones they often used during their experiments these days, which is to say, the labels on these coins were at most no more than a month old, and the short ones might only be two or three days old.

In fact, this was also within his expectations. The Ming Shui Chamber of Commerce issuing new currency with unified specifications was for Zhenna to establish the Ascension Order; even at the cost of expense, they would ensure the specifications were unified.

With the equipment in the laboratory complete, Xia Duo and Aiboke acted separately to test the elemental content of the coins used in the experiment. About an hour later, the two gathered again and shared their respective test results—

"How about the physical currency? Are the labels stable?" Xia Duo ignored Aiboke's complaint and continued to ask, "That can't have anomalies too, right?"

The retention time of the labels that are still preserved cannot be determined for the time being, but it is almost certain that the failed ones all have problems.

"My results are the same as yours."

So Xia Duo asked again: "Have you made records of the coins with failed labels before?"

And Aiboke's next words confirmed this: "The Magic Net environment was recorded throughout. These coins were not subjected to any unplanned Arcane Magic interference. I think it's possible that the material or production method of these coins is different."

Aiboke casually put forward a seemingly nonsensical guess. Xia Duo just wanted to refute it, but felt it shouldn't be so arbitrary. At present, Order Force research has just started, and no possibility should be ignored.

Just like that, label failure still occurred frequently. Once put into use, I'm afraid there will be even more problems.

"Did you record the Magic Net environment? Is it because of Arcane Magic interference?"

Copper coins do not contain gold or silver, but because copper coins are almost never used in the Great Xia Territory, Xia Duo's experiments here did not use copper coins, only Gold Coins and Silver Coins.

Then what about the production method?

Xia Duo rubbed his fingers on the surface of the Gold Coin, added a label to it, and threw it back into the coin pile, but he couldn't deal with the problem Aiboke raised for the time being.

Saying this, Aiboke took a white cloth bag from the side of the laboratory bench, then held the bottom of the bag and poured a pile of gold and silver currency onto the laboratory bench.

Xia Duo carefully checked Aiboke's test records and did not find any essential difference from his own. It's just that if that's the case, the material is unlikely to be the reason for the failure of the Order Force labels.

Xia Duo walked over and picked up a Gold Coin to observe it closely. This Gold Coin was the same as the other coins: the front was a relief of Zhenna's profile, the back was the emblem of the Ming Shui Chamber of Commerce, and the edge had the edge teeth that Xia Duo had previously suggested for anti-counterfeiting or preventing private cutting.

"The gold-silver ratio of the Gold Coins I tested is about 9 to 1, and the gold-silver ratio of the Silver Coins is 5 to 95. There is a slight difference in the ratio between the same type of coins, but they are basically like this. The Ming Shui Chamber of Commerce is very rigorous in quality control. This difference should be caused by wear and tear during the circulation process, or it could be impurities in the material itself."

Maybe the truth is hidden in those seemingly inconspicuous details!

It couldn't be such a nonsensical reason, could it?

For a meticulous person, almost every coin can be found to have differences from other coins. However, since they have been divided into two piles based on whether the labels have failed, it shows that these two piles have certain commonalities.
