"No restrictions on energy use?"

The meeting room was in an uproar. It was not that they did not believe Niya, but that this was too incredible. Even a mage tower like the Tower of Time could not allow users to consume it freely.

This was the case in the past, and it was even more so after the transformation of the Tower of Time in recent years. Now every mage in the Tower of Time has a relatively fixed quota for energy use. If you want to break through, you not only need to have sufficient reasons to apply to the Materials Department, but also need to wait in line.

Because there is not only one person applying at the same time, but many projects are crowded together.

The reason why the Tower of Time did this was not to deliberately embarrass the mages, but it was forced by realistic factors. The speed of energy storage in the element pool is limited. If it is not restrained, the Tower of Time would have stopped long ago.

Now the mages in the meeting room are all middle and senior levels in the Tower of Time. Even if they have not actually participated in the maintenance of the element pool array, they have at least understood and heard about it.

But it is precisely because of this understanding that Niya's promise of "no restrictions on energy use in the new laboratory" is incredible.

So they all thought of the "floating city" that Xia Duo had just mentioned. Is it because of that that they have an almost unlimited energy supply?

"Xi Duo - uh - President, what kind of existence is the floating city you just mentioned? Is there really such a laboratory with unlimited energy?"

The questioner was Adrian. The independent research laboratory he founded was recently working with David on a project related to David's string, which was more application-oriented and consumed less energy than projects of verification and exploration nature.

But even so, he had a clearer understanding of the energy consumption of projects related to David's string. It cannot be said to be large, but it should be said to be very large.

In the past, he had run to the Materials Department countless times to increase the energy quota. Some of them succeeded, but more of them failed. Although the Tower of Time paid more attention to projects related to David's string, it could not let it occupy most of the energy quota of other projects.

So, when Adrian heard Nia say this at this moment, his first thought was disbelief, but then he realized that Nia could not make an unrealizable promise in front of so many people.

In other words, the unlimited energy supply is likely to be true.

But as a student of the previous tower master Epps, Adrian knew more about the Tower of Time than others. He knew very well that if there were no accidents, the Tower of Time would not have such technology. The only exception was Shado.

At this time, although Adrian was the only one asking Shado questions, almost everyone had the same curiosity and expectation in their eyes.

In this regard, Shado certainly would not disappoint everyone. He told everyone clearly:

"You can think of the floating city as an oversized wizard tower, and its powerful energy system is so powerful that it can supply at least hundreds of high-level wizards with uninterrupted consumption at the same time.

"Of course, before that, we need everyone to build the laboratory there together, otherwise it would be a pure waste to have energy but no supporting facilities.

"In addition, I can tell you one thing, that is, the focus of the Time Tower will gradually shift from here to the floating city. Now you have the opportunity to settle down in advance, and many people will envy you in the future." For the time being, Xia Duo has not made plans to move all the territories and the Time Tower to the floating city. At least the current floating city is not good enough. It is not too late to consider it after a few more versions are perfected. Now it is not bad to use it as a large mage tower.

...

After Xia Duo's confirmation, the atmosphere in the conference room was instantly pushed to the top. If Xia Dunya was not still there, this group of excited people would probably shout out on the spot.

But even now, the uncontrollable ecstasy still overflowed from the shining eyes.

"Great, if it weren't for the insufficient energy quota, my current project would have been completed long ago!"

"Me too, it's really hard to imagine what it feels like to use it without limit now!"

Almost everyone is intoxicated with the imagination of unlimited energy in the future, but now, there is still a very realistic problem in front of everyone, that is, how to make up their minds to temporarily put down the project at hand and build a new laboratory.

Sitting in the conference room, Xia Duo saw everyone's ecstasy, expectations, and a little bit of entanglement, so he added a code very considerately:

"In addition to the new laboratories and residences, all independent research laboratories participating in the construction of the floating city will be given priority to recruit the next ten new mages based on their contribution. The top ten individuals will receive customized communication instruments provided by me. In addition to the basic communication function, they can also decide two practical functions by themselves. As long as it does not exceed my ability, I will help you achieve it."

If you want the horse to run, you must give it grass to eat. Compared with mandatory regulations, Xia Duo is more inclined to be driven by interests. At present, most of the mages who are qualified to build the floating city are concentrated in independent research laboratories.

What independent research laboratories care about most, in addition to the energy issues related to the advancement of existing projects, is the issue of new blood related to future development.

At present, the supplementary personnel of independent research laboratories mainly come from new mages promoted from apprentices. The Tower of Time will conduct professional examinations regularly. If you pass, you will be a level 1 mage and can join the direct departments or independent research laboratories of the Tower of Time.

In the past, the direct-administered departments were given priority, and especially now that there were more and more new apprentices, the Academic Affairs Office's thirst for new mages was endless.

If it is searched first by the Academic Affairs Office every time, it will be a nightmare for the independent research laboratory.

Of course, priority is not mandatory. Sha Duo gives all new mages the opportunity to fully choose their profession. Even if a new mage with innovative intuition wants to become a magic technician, Sha Duo will respect the other person's choice, but reality will not Who is that stupid?

Currently, the Academic Affairs Office and the Independent Research Laboratory together account for the absolute majority of new mages in the Tower of Time, but there is not much difference between the two, and there may be more people willing to teach and educate people.

After all, out of respect for education, Xia Duo gave teachers more benefits and subsidies, and not all the new mages who were transferred to independent research laboratories joined the existing research laboratories. Many of them found a few by themselves. partners to establish a new independent research laboratory.

And those independent research laboratories established later are actually no less attractive to new mages than the old independent research laboratories.

Unless it's something like David's Laboratory that has made very impressive results, or one that has been assigned a research direction by Chateau, such as Horst's Mass Production Design Laboratory.

Or enter Tilak's laboratory where the top leaders of the society gather.

Generally, old independent research laboratories can only show that they were established early, and nothing else. In terms of the world, the transformation of the Tower of Time has only happened in the past few years. How can a new mage in his twenties even have such vigor? None!
