Arcane Lord
Chapter 587 Cost design and production methods
The sixth floor of the Tower of Time, Tilak Research Laboratory.
When Sha Duo came here, the door of the research room was open, and a group of people were sitting around the reception room inside chatting. When they saw Sha Duo coming, they all stood up.
A trace of doubt flashed in Xia Duo's eyes, but he quickly realized that it was probably because he asked the tower spirit to send a notice to the Tower of Time members just now that he let these people know that he had returned to the Tower of Time and responded in this way.
Intellectually, Xia Duo did not agree with such a form, but when it fell on him, it was indeed not annoying. He ignored these thoughts and took the initiative to say hello:
"Tilak, Dean, are you still here waiting for me? Don't do this next time!"
"We happened to be on a break, so we weren't specifically waiting." Tilak said with a smile.
But Xia Duo didn't take this seriously. If it was really a break, is it necessary to drive away all the apprentices and leave only the official mage? Furthermore, he had never heard of any rest time at the Tower of Time.
Even if there is, it is only when the official mage wants to rest that he has rest time. This has nothing to do with the apprentice.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Take me to see the [Alert Talisman]!"
"Well, Master Shado, please come with me!" Tilak extended his hand to lead the way, "The [Alert Talisman] is in my bedroom and is always on. There is also a finished product placed in the Green Bead Forest for testing. Its ultimate time.”
The internal layout of the mage's private residence, or research room, in the Tower of Time is similar. It is not far from the reception room to the bedroom. When the two of them just stepped into the bedroom, Sha Duo heard a harsh buzzing. Sound, obviously the effect of [Alert Talisman] is quite good.
At Shado's signal, Tilak did not immediately turn off the alarm, but kept it ringing. After about ten seconds, the sound stopped.
Shado noticed that the warning barrier did not disappear due to the sound of the alarm, so he turned around and shouted in the direction of the reception room, "Dean, come here!"
Hearing the sound, Dean walked over quickly. Like Shado and Tilak, the alarm sounded again when he just entered the bedroom.
"Sammy, Edrich, come here too, come in at the same time!"
Sami and Edrich did as they were told. They had done similar experiments many times in their laboratory. When they entered the barrier at the same time, two almost identical harsh buzzing sounds sounded.
Although the two alarm sounds sound exactly the same, and they overlap more like there is only one sound, they can still be clearly distinguished as two sounds.
Shado looked at the silver cube metal block on Tilak's bedroom desk that could be easily grabbed, and nodded with satisfaction. Although it was still far behind the [Alert Magic] cast by the mage himself, it was still useful for adventurers in dangerous areas. In other words, this [Alert Talisman] is completely enough.
"Except for the shape and size, I'm very satisfied with everything else."
Although he didn't actually pick it up, Xia Duo knew that most of the silver cube metal was made of silver, so it must be heavy, and the shape didn't seem to be easy to carry.
After listening to Shado's evaluation, Tilak explained:
"This shape is adopted to maximize the adaptability to the internal mithril components. In addition, this volume is the minimum volume at the lowest cost. If you want to adjust it to other shapes, you need to adjust the mithril components or even add mithril. If you want to reduce the size, you need to increase the amount of mithril used, and the cost will increase a lot.”
"It doesn't matter. As long as it's easy for buyers to carry and use, and it's a little more expensive, they won't care at all!" There is even a saying in Xia Duo's hometown that privacy is exchanged for convenience. Now he is just raising the cost slightly, which will not affect sales at all. .
After all, the cost of this cube amulet is only about 200 gold coins. If it is increased, it will be lower than the cost of other similar magic items on the market. This is the advantage brought by technological progress.
Moreover, as his costs have increased, he can completely increase the selling price in the same proportion, transfer this cost to the buyer, and even charge a premium for the ease of use of the product. There are too many things that can be calculated here.
Tilak nodded as if he understood, "I understand, and I will complete the adjustment as soon as possible."
"There's no need to rush. In addition to checking on the situation of the [Alert Talisman], I also have something very important to tell you!"
Back in the reception room, Sha Duo was about to talk about the communication device, but Dean interrupted at this moment, "Is it related to the meeting the day after tomorrow that Talling just informed?"
"It's not relevant, but it's relevant!"
Xia Duo glanced at everyone and saw that everyone was full of doubts. Then he took out a thick stack of information from the dimensional bag, handed it to Dean, and motioned for him to distribute it to everyone, and then explained:
"These data record a new type of communication spell, as well as the manufacturing information of communication instruments based on this new type of communication spell. Please take a look at it first!"
With that said, Xia Duo took out two more unencrypted and unencapsulated semi-finished communication instruments and placed them on the table in the reception room. This was actually the laboratory version he first made and has been tested for a long time. , but still not damaged.
Now it is handed over to Tilak and the others so that they can have a reference when developing and designing the "[Eternal Magic] type communication instrument".
[Persistent Magic] type magic items combine the advantages of "Mithril component type magic items" and "[Constant Magic] type magic items". Of course, to a certain extent, they also have the disadvantages of both.
However, the biggest advantage of permanent magic items is not the advantages in use, but that the cost is greatly reduced compared to the two manufacturing methods.
Of course, if you must pursue high-quality products, most of the time it is better to use [Mithril Components] or [Magic Constant] to create magic items.
For example, several communication instruments that Xia Duo made before were all made using [mithril components].
…
After a while, Tilak closed the document. He looked at Xia Duo, with some puzzlement and confusion in his eyes, "Master Xia Duo, is this [Magic Network Background Communication] a level 2 spell?"
"Yes! I know that most of the people on your side have not been exposed to the second level of the magic network, but you don't have to worry, the situation will change soon!"
"Is it related to the meeting the day after tomorrow?" Tilak asked this question again.
"Yes." Xia Duo didn't hide it, and there was no need to hide it.
Although he is now Niya's representative, and he discussed the transformation of the Tower of Time with Niya before returning from Severton this time, a mage is a mage after all, and he cannot inform the transformation without saying a word. He originally I was going to give the Tower of Time members some fresh air in advance.
