Arcane Lord

Of course, at this time, the Jingspiri automatic networking device could not be put into use immediately. He then transformed an alchemical array in a general laboratory in the Tower of Time specifically for making one-time encapsulated node magic weapons.

The creation of this quasi-magical item does not require the participation of a spellcaster, because it is not a magic item at all and needs to be connected to the magic network.

After the quasi-magic items are produced, they are transferred to the Jingso automated networking device, and the internal elemental souls are connected to the magic network. If they are sold to the outside world, they need to be packaged again.

However, these node magic weapons are used to control the communication mystery lock authority and will not be sold to the outside world. Therefore, the secondary encapsulation process can be omitted. As long as the magic network link is completed, it is actually equivalent to becoming a node of the communication mystery lock.

In terms of efficiency, the efficiency of the alchemy array is much higher than that of the Jingspiri automated networking device. Only one encapsulated node magic weapon produced by one alchemy array is enough to maintain the round-the-clock operation of ten networked devices.

It's a pity that a simple alchemy circle cannot produce real magic items. No matter how high the output is, if it cannot be connected to the magic network, it will be approximately zero!

…

Xia Duo linked the alchemy array with ten parallel Jingshui automatic networking devices. Then it was time to wait. The Jingshui would be replaced every five days and shut down for maintenance every ten days.

If he does nothing else, he will be able to produce 280,000 node magic weapons in just over half a year!

If used to produce magic items for normal sale to the outside world, such a powerful production capacity, combined with dumping, would probably destroy the entire Netheril magic items market.

Of course, Xia Duo would not do such an outrageous thing, but in the future, comprehensive price reductions for magic items will be a general trend, regardless of whether there is automation or not.

At least that's what Xia Duo knows. Many Mage Tower organizations within the Seven Towers and even in the central mainland have begun to carry out division of labor and cooperative production.

Although there is no such thing as assembly lines and magic mechanics, it can greatly improve efficiency and reduce costs compared to the past.

Moreover, after the establishment of the new covenant, there is a trend in various places to increase investment in magic education. With more new mages, the cost of corresponding magic items will also decrease.

In addition, the increase in the number of new mages has greatly increased demand. As long as one dares to cut prices to seize the market, it will easily trigger a wave of price cuts across the country.

It is true that Xia Duo will not sell at low prices, but that does not mean that he will not lower the prices. In the past, the magic items produced by the Tower of Time have been significantly lower than similar products on the market. Next, he needs to continue this style.

On the one hand, it allows more people, including new mages and ordinary people, to use cheap magic items. On the other hand, it also encourages various mage tower organizations to actively invest in technological innovation.

As long as a good positive cycle can be formed, by then, even if he wants to stop this trend, it is unlikely that he will be able to do so, because preventing the popularization of education, the number of new mages, and technological innovation at that time is to fight against Everyone is against it.

Until then, Netheril will be on the path of normal development. As for how far this road can go, that is another story.

…

Looking at the production scene in the general laboratory - or in the automated workshop, the pressure that Xia Duo had accumulated during this period was finally released.

After making a key breakthrough in Jingpo Automation, he devoted almost all his time to developing automation equipment, and his attention to the outside world was greatly reduced.

Today he finally "came out"!

The first thing after leaving customs is to check the progress of water vapor migration.

In the past few days, neither Niya nor Savile reported any bad news. It seemed that the water vapor migration was going relatively smoothly, but the specific progress of the migration would have to be seen in detail.

Xia Duo quickly teleported to Hengchun Square. Standing on the ground of the square, he could see the sky where the space spread out and was directly connected to the outside world. A transparent wind belt with only distorted light at the edge occupied almost half of his field of vision.

Although it was somewhat beyond the direct perception distance, how could he not sense such a powerful wind belt at all?

Based on the visible distance between the floating city and the wind belt, Xia Duo initially estimated that the diameter of the wind belt should be more than 500 meters, and the wind was surging. If you observe for a while, you can still see the wind elements moving in it.

The current location of the floating city is over a wilderness between Katemir and Zhamdas in the south. Later, Shado returned to the Codex Square in the territory from the portal in Hengchun Square.

Looking up at this time, although there are still dark clouds in the sky, they are much lighter than at the beginning of the month, and there is a flow state visible to the naked eye, and it is moving north.

Shado speculated that after the wind lord Rohasi established a stable absorbing eye, he moved it northward, which would be more efficient, and most likely moved it to the sky above Lake Macht.

Because Lake Macht is almost between Severnton and Daxia Territory, slightly to the south, absorbing water vapor from that location can have the greatest impact on the entire territory.

Shado cast a spell to check, and found that just as he had guessed, Rohasi also dissolved his form at this time, turning into a hurricane that seemed to be naturally formed, absorbing cloud water vapor from all directions.

Fortunately, the development level near Lake Macht is not high, otherwise the lightning caused by the friction of the hurricane would crackle all day long, and ordinary people below would probably be scared to death.

Later, Shado summoned Talaf to ask about the specific progress of water vapor migration. From his own inspection, he only knew that there were indeed fewer dark clouds over Netheril, but the exact amount needed to be answered by professionals.

And Tarafu soon sent the message——

"If there are no surprises, judging from the current migration speed, it will be completed by almost mid-December."

"What accident do you mean?" Xia Duo asked again.

"Atmospheric flow is difficult to predict through pure calculations, not to mention that a powerful eye of attracting wind appears over Netheril, and the surrounding atmosphere will flow in this direction accordingly. This is an accident."

Shado finally understood Talaf's explanation. The time he estimated was based on the amount of water vapor in Netheril's current state, but the world was not limited to Netheril.

The clouds above Netheril have been sucked away, and clouds from other places will also be attracted. Of course, the clouds here mainly refer to dark clouds with lower heights.

"Then how long will it take to end at the latest?" Xia Duo asked again.

"Based on Calimshan's domestic experience, the situation here will be over by January next year at the latest. But even if an accident occurs, there will be no rainfall or snowfall in Netheril this year."

"I see!"

After hearing that there would be no snowfall this year, Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about before was the snow disaster. As long as there was no snow disaster, even if the weather got colder and the winter got longer, he could still overcome it.

Afterwards, Xia Duo called Leiden again and asked about the availability of aid materials for the three lords of Tianshui, and Leiden also answered them one by one.
