Before Su Zhou could speak, he heard someone talking.

"It was Mr. Su who guided me in drawing this."

Upon hearing Newton's words, the members of parliament gasped.

You should know that although the members of parliament present do not understand calculus, they certainly understand what the name "Isaac Newton" represents in Britain and even in the whole of Europe.

This is a notorious academic tyrant and England's biggest troll!

This genius, who has an innate sense of intellectual superiority and wants the whole world to call him "Dad," actually admitted in front of the councilors that he was mentored by a young man from the East?!

Outrageous!

The way the councilors looked at Su Zhou completely changed.

It can keep Newton in check and invent this magical tool that instantly clarifies complex accounts.

What exactly is in the minds of these Easterners?

Faced with the probing gazes of the crowd, Su Zhou, the person involved, was extremely flustered.

This X should have been played by Lord Bull, why did it become me?

The young MP couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Sue! Could this tool, known as data visualization, be used... for the British Empire's annual tax and military budget reports?!"

The members of parliament present were not fools; in fact, many of them were political elites.

They know all too well how valuable this image is!

Britain is currently at war with France, and massive amounts of military spending, tax revenue, and logistical data are being sent to Westminster Palace every day. Members of Parliament are losing clumps of hair from looking at those incomprehensible ledgers.

If all government reports were turned into these charts... it would be a revolutionary change in administration!

"sure."

"As long as there is accurate data, any kind of chart can transform the complex logic of how a country operates into an intuitive image that even a six-year-old child can understand."

The eyes of the government officials in the gallery lit up.

Seeing that things were not going well, Charonna quickly said, "Gentlemen, now we should consider the authenticity of those data."

The red-nosed, chubby senator coughed awkwardly, then spread out several charts in front of him, examined them closely, and looked up to say, "Mr. Newton, can you assure me that these data are accurate?"

"Every number has original supporting documentation."

"If the committee requires, I can send all the original documents to Westminster Palace for your verification."

The councilors exchanged glances.

The atmosphere has clearly shifted.

Just as Su Zhou was feeling smug, Charona stood up again.

This time, Charona didn't dwell on the mold issue.

He was smart; he knew the line was broken, and pulling on it any further would only make him look worse.

But he still has a backup plan.

"Mr. Chairman."

"I acknowledge that the mint has made some progress in terms of output, and Mr. Newton's efforts are evident to all."

He then changed the subject: "But production does not equal security. No matter how many coins are minted, if the coins themselves are easy to counterfeit, then it is all in vain. In fact, the root cause of the recent proliferation of counterfeit coins is not the corruption of the management. I take back my previous statement on this point."

"The problem lies in the fact that the mint's current anti-counterfeiting technology is seriously outdated."

He took a roll of blueprints from his bag and spread it out on the table in front of the committee.

"This is a brand new anti-counterfeiting solution for coins that I spent six months researching."

The drawing shows a schematic diagram of the coin's cross-section, with the edge enlarged and marked with three different textured structures. The surrounding area is densely covered with process parameters and alloy proportions.

Charonna began his technical presentation by pointing to different parts of the blueprints.

"The core idea is to modify the formula. The new formula I adopted is copper-tin-lead, which allows me to add three layers of composite texture to the edge of the coin. The first layer is a basic anti-slip serration with a spacing of 0.8 millimeters, which is the current standard."

"The second layer involves embedding tiny letters between the serrations, which requires a special high-precision mold to press. The third layer, which is also the most crucial, forms a dark pattern on the side of the coin that can only be observed at a specific angle. The principle is similar to the difference in the refraction of light on different metal surfaces."

"The combination of these three layers of texture makes it dozens of times more difficult to counterfeit. Currently, no counterfeit coin workshop on the market has the equipment and technology to simultaneously press three layers of texture."

It must be said that these words were quite well spoken, enough to make the members of parliament appreciate Charona's professionalism.

The red-nosed, chubby senator even picked up a quill pen and wrote two lines in his notebook.

Seeing this, Charona pressed his advantage.

"I implore the committee to grant me permission to enter the Royal Mint and conduct a practical demonstration using its equipment. I believe..."

No demonstration needed.

Su Zhou's voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to shut Charona up.

All eyes were once again focused on the young man from the East.

Charona turned to look at him, her eyes slightly narrowed: "Mr. Su, I'm with the committee..."

"Your plan won't work."

Su Zhou spoke much more calmly this time than the first time.

The first time he was falsely accused, he had no choice but to stand up and confront the situation.

This time, he's going to take the initiative!

He's going to screw over Chalona too!

You know, he's only a hair's breadth away from mental illness, so who's afraid of who!

"Mr. Chairman, I request the committee's permission to raise technical questions about Mr. Charonna's proposal."

The chairman glanced at Charona, then at Su Zhou, but said nothing.

Su Zhou continued, "I believe Mr. Charona welcomes any technical discussions. True experts are never afraid of being questioned; truth becomes clearer through debate."

Charona snorted inwardly.

You delivered yourself right to my door.

If you embarrass yourself later, don't blame me.

When it comes to coinage, I am London’s number one expert.

What understanding do you, a kid who hasn't even grown a beard yet, have of the minting process?

Charona raised his head and said, "Mr. Chairman, since Mr. Su wants to question me, please allow him to speak."

Charona adjusted his luxurious silk cuffs, deliberately raised his voice, and adopted a magnanimous gentlemanly demeanor: "The British Parliament has always been known for its inclusiveness, and I myself am extremely happy to give this young Oriental scholar a free lesson on what true English heavy industrial craftsmanship is."

He had barely finished speaking when he abruptly changed the subject, his eyes fixed on Su Zhou with a sinister glint: "However, if it turns out that Mr. Su is merely wasting the committee's precious time with baseless nonsense, or even attempting to cover up your treasonous crime of stealing the molds..."

"Then I hope the committee will immediately strip you of your right to speak and transfer you directly to the interrogation room in the Tower of London!"

Several voices of agreement immediately came from the audience, and a few members of parliament who had been bribed by Charona also nodded in agreement.

In their eyes, Charonna was a minting expert who had worked his way up from the streets of London, while Su Zhou, no matter how good at math, was just a young man who hadn't even grown up yet.

Theoretical mathematics is one thing, but the real heavy industrial smelting and mechanical stamping in the workshop is another. How could this kid possibly understand it?

They desperately need doers like Charona.

"You may speak now, Mr. Su." The chairman tapped the gavel.
