Horst Research Laboratory

Shado was concerned about the mass production of various magic items in the Tower of Time. On the way back to his residence, he happened to stop by to see the progress of Horst's research on the mass production plan.

"Only completed the mass production plan of [Alert Talisman]?"

Xia Duo looked at the people in the research room expressionlessly. The number of people was much larger than the last time he came here, but the results had little to do with the number of people.

He asked Horst: "Could this [Alert Talisman] be the one that uses the permanent magic technology of Tilak Research Laboratory?"

"Well--"

Horst gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes."

"..."

Xia Duo was immediately speechless. It had been more than ten days since the relationship began and he hadn't even come up with a mass production plan! What's the use of having many people!

The so-called [Alert Talisman] mass production plan should actually be regarded as the result of Tilak Research Laboratory. From the beginning of the research, Sha Duo's instructions were to rush towards mass production.

Tilak has also done a good job, keeping very detailed records of each process, and has even developed a preliminary mass production plan.

If Xia Duo hadn't temporarily issued an order for them to conduct research on the permanent magic version of the new communication instrument, they would have completed the mass production of the [Alert Talisman] long ago.

Now this plan actually belongs to Horst Research Laboratory. I don’t know when they had this tacit understanding.

Of course, Xia Duo is also happy to see this. After all, they both belong to the Tower of Time. It would be good if unnecessary repeated research can be reduced as much as possible.

But the problem is, it's been more than ten days, has Horst not achieved anything at all?

Under Shado's gradually turning stern gaze, Horst said bravely: "Except for this, there is also the mass production of magic scrolls. We have completed all of them."

"stop!"

Shado quickly interrupted Horst. Does the magic scroll still need an entire research room to study how to mass-produce it? Is his magic scroll printing press fake?

"Dean, tell me what problems you encountered in Horst's laboratory during this time!"

"There are probably two problems. One is that except for those of us who came from Tilak Research Laboratory, everyone else is very resistant to discussion and unwilling to share any ideas. The so-called joint research is almost only discussed by a few of us."

Dean's eyes were obviously filled with emotion as he continued, "As for the Materials Department, the research on the mass production plan still requires materials. Although the Materials Department did not reject it, submitting applications repeatedly is a waste of time. "

"Any more?"

"That's all for now."

"Well!"

Sha Duo turned his gaze to the others, scanning these mid-level or low-level mages one by one, and then said: "Those who are unwilling to participate in the research on the mass production plan can leave now!"

As a result, no one left, and Xia Duo was not surprised by this. Even if he really had any thoughts, he would not show them in this situation. It was just a tacit understanding.

He continued: "I will transfer people from Tirak Research Laboratory again, and I will also tell Cecily to prepare relevant materials for you in advance, but Horst? Within three days? I need to see the real The first mass production plan is out!”

"This-" Horst hesitated.

Xia Duo was unhappy and asked again: "Just asking, can it be done?"

"able!"

Sha Duo glanced at Dean in surprise. He was the one who spoke just now? As for Horst? After Dean spoke, he immediately agreed.

"It is recommended that you set up an emergency research team and concentrate your superior forces to complete the plan as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Shado left directly without waiting for Horst to answer.

…

Two days later, Chateau received news that the fleet from Severington had arrived at Savile Land. Along with the ship, in addition to the appraisers from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, there were also more than 1,000 new citizens of Chateau.

In order to temporarily avoid Grand Arcanist Vader, Xia Duo did not come forward to hand over, but asked Mayor Thain to arrange for someone to board the ship for inspection, and then returned to Daxia to hand over together.

As for the appraiser? Xia Duo sent an invitation to Setos, the steward of the Minshui Chamber of Commerce, and asked him to bring the appraiser to the Tower of Time to discuss specific transaction details.

And he has also made preparations in advance. Whether it is the communication instrument sample or Derrick and Aibo as negotiators, they are all available at any time.

…

Niya's study.

Chateau and Niya sat in front of the window and looked out the window. Outside the window was the depressed scene of Savile Port.

Due to the drow war, the border trade between Netheril and Cormanthor in Conifera was temporarily suspended. As the transit point closest to the city of Conifera, Savil Territory is now in desolation.

But neither Shaduo nor Niya had any ability to interfere in the drow war. What they really wanted to see was not the depressing scene, but the seven or eight ships in the port.

There were more than 1,000 of Xia Duo's subjects on it. According to Belera, behind this fleet, there were some single ships also heading to the southern border.

However, Belera's influence in Severton is limited. If he tries to contact them forcefully, it will inevitably consume a lot of favors and money. In addition, there are many ships with different ownerships and it is not easy to control. This journey will take several months and the risk is not small.

Xia Duo did not ask Belera to contact him anymore. The seven or eight ships he saw in the projection on the window of Niya's study were the only unplanned transportation of the territorial citizens.

As for the plan, Belera's own fleet will send a group of about 700 people in early November, and the mercenary fleet she first contacted and has a contract with will probably have a group of more than 1,000 people in mid-November.

Finally, there is the fleet organized by Hans and other Savile local chamber of commerce. A group of about 500 new immigrants will come back probably in late November.

After that, the various fleets can still be used, but it is too late this year. None of the ships he can use now will be able to return to Severington this year.

It is true that Sevington can summon new citizens in advance. It only needs to notify the Sewington Parliament one month in advance.

But the problem is that once the collection is full, it must be transported immediately. There is no temporary care service there, so we have to do what we can and only collect the number that can be transported.

If temporary care services were provided there, things would be much simpler. He could have dozens or millions of people gathered there at once.

It is very convenient to transport them back slowly over several years or transport them when you want them.

But the reality is simply impossible for him to do this.

Based on the current situation, Xia Duo speculates that by the end of this year, the number of his subjects will reach about 7 or 8,000, and it is unlikely that there will be rapid growth like this year.

…

Keeping watching the seven or eight ships slowly leaving Savil Port and heading south, Sha Duo retracted his gaze, picked up the teacup on the table between him and Niya, took a sip, and then said:

"People from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce are coming, and the appraiser they come over this time is likely to be a high-level mage."
