Arcane Lord

Although the plan to export bicycles has been made clear, the territory currently does not have the actual production conditions. Although it can be produced by the Tower of Time, the purpose of producing bicycles is to build the territory's magic industry.

Compared with the result of export, what Xia Duo wants to see more is the process of production in the territory.

While the two were chatting, they walked along the main road north of the Public Security Bureau towards the New Government Affairs Office. When they were about to reach the door of the Government Affairs Office, Sha Duo suddenly stopped and asked Leiden:

"By the way, now that bicycle tires have been made, is there any other results from the Magic Glue Research Center? Can Magic Glue Shoes be mass-produced?"

"The magic rubber shoes are ready for mass production, but the magic rubber products factory mainly produces water pipes for the subsequent construction of residential areas. It is expected to be completed this month, and then they can be used to produce bicycle tires or rubber shoes."

"So fast?"

Xia Duo originally thought that Leiden would say that mass production might not be possible in a short period of time, but he did not expect that it would start this month. This was somewhat unexpected. However, considering that the rubber shoes themselves do not have much technical content, as long as the materials are ready, mass production will be possible. easy.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo asked again: "Are there enough magic glue materials prepared?"

"The breeding farm has been expanded to increase production, and it can almost keep up with production needs."

"We still need to continue to increase production. The rubber shoes will first meet the needs of the people in the territory, and then they can be sold to other territories."

Of course, industrial products need to be sold. Unlike bicycles, which require a mature industrial foundation before the cost can be reduced, the cost of rubber shoes is very low from the beginning.

Basically, it is the maintenance cost of the magic glue monster farm. The glue monster itself does not need any additional expensive feed. It only needs to be fed with water. The consumables used for subsequent acid removal and dehydration are also very cheap.

At least from Xia Duo's perspective, the cost of magic glue products is much lower than the cost of rubber products in his hometown. It is so low now. In the future, whether the technology or industrial base matures, the cost will only be lower.

But magic glue products do not necessarily have to be sold at low prices. Just like bicycles, a single business can set any price. However, for daily necessities such as rubber shoes, Xia Duo does not want to set excessively high prices.

At least his subjects and the vast majority of Nese people can afford it, but the elves can cut some off and use it to subsidize domestic industrial construction.

…

Speaking of magic glue products such as rubber shoes, Leiden immediately started chatting and proudly introduced to Sha Duo: "The Magic Glue Research Center is developing a brand-new adhesive that can be used to bond masonry materials, and even Can be used to build one-piece stone pavements.”

"New adhesive?"

Xia Duo was stunned for a moment, and then realized, isn't this just cement? How long has it been since I went to Inuvich, where they made the magic version of cement?

You must know that this thing is a necessary condition for building high-rise buildings on earth. Even if cement is not necessarily needed in the magical world, there must be alternatives.

For example, [Stone Shaping Technique], [Turning Mud into Stone], etc.

These spells can also act as adhesives. Otherwise, if a high-rise building is so big, would it be necessary to collect such large stones and carve them bit by bit?

Daxia Territory will definitely have construction technology like elves in the future, but now, if there is a magic glue adhesive like cement, high-rise buildings can be built without magic.

Currently, most of the buildings in Xia Duo's territory only have two or three floors. This is of course not because the bricks produced by the brick-making workshop are not up to standard, but because the construction technology is not up to par.

When there are drawings, they can only build by feeling. Even most workers cannot understand the drawings, and a special mage is required to interpret them.

Of course, the drawings given by Xia Duo are not professional. It may not be a big problem to guide a two or three-story brick-concrete structure building, which is all supported by materials, but if it is any higher, it will not work.

There were too many factors to consider. Xia Duo was not that capable of mastering everything. In fact, the drawings he gave mostly imitated the structures of common buildings in his hometown. It was indeed very difficult for him to design out of thin air.

…

“When will the magic glue adhesive be put into use?”

"This is still uncertain, but it should not take long. The young people at the Magic Glue Research Center are very attentive."

"The production side can push them, but not the research and development. If they have any needs during the research and development process, the territory should provide as much support as possible."

"yes."

Leiden responded, and then took Xia Duo into the new government affairs hall. Although it was called "the hall", it was actually a large building covering a large area - in terms of the current territory.

The first thing you see when you enter is a government affairs hall, with long counters blocking both sides and inside. Inside are clerks sent by various departments in the territory to handle citizen affairs.

Taking the current territory as an example, if you want to open a small shop, you need to come to the Government Affairs Department to apply for a business license. You also need to come here to apply for an ID card when a child is born, including the replacement of a lost ID card.

Even making suggestions and reporting is all here.

The police station only deals with public security issues, specifically maintaining public order and arresting people in serious cases, while the court is responsible for trials and executions, and the territorial prison is located inside the court.

Walking further in from the Government Affairs Hall is the office space of the relevant personnel of the Government Affairs Department. All departments are there, but they belong to different offices.

The left and right sides of the government affairs hall are not empty, but are used as archives, utility rooms, or rest rooms. If the number of civil servants increases in the future, they can also be used as their offices.

After a brief walk around, Xia Duo was very satisfied with this place. After all, it was designed by him and realized by the hands of the people. It is not only practical, but also of great significance.

The only shortcoming is that the current interior decoration of the Government Affairs Office can no longer be said to be simple, it is not there at all. A group of civil servants sit in a rough room to work. I don't know if these people will miss this scene a few years later.

After leaving the Government Affairs Office, we have just passed by the police station in the southeast. We haven't had time to introduce plants to the garden in the south. There is nothing to plant in the cold weather now.

Next is the court, which can be regarded as Leiden's home court. Currently, Leiden has offices in both the Government Affairs Department and the court. This also represents Leiden's two current identities in the territory -

Consuls and Chancellors.

But it is not appropriate to let Leiden hold both jobs all the time. Even if we do not consider the checks and balances of power, we still need to consider the complexity of the work itself. Now Leiden can still support it alone, but he can only barely maintain it.

It will definitely not be possible in the future, let alone the future. Now, when the more than 200,000 people from the three sides of Tianshui integrate into the territory, Leiden may be too busy.
