Arcane Lord

People can be affected by the surrounding environment, but they can also create the environment according to their own ideas, which is what Xia Duo is doing now.

In fact, whether it is himself or anyone else, there will be more or less a "utopia"-like existence in his mind, which may be in line with the mainstream of society and historical trends, or maybe not.

But given the opportunity, who can resist the temptation to change the world according to their own ideas!

On earth, most of human conflicts are fought for such an opportunity - the opportunity to explain the world and transform the world!

Even the battles initiated by primitive people for survival also contain the meaning of control, control of resources, control of the lives of the enemy and ourselves.

But later, science was quickly recognized by most people with its unparalleled reliability, and then it exploded with unprecedented potential, giving birth to weapons of mass destruction like nuclear weapons, which eliminated countless conflicts.

Of course, as long as people's thoughts continue, conflicts will always exist. It's just a matter of frequency and intensity.

Some of the causes of conflicts are illogical and extremely absurd in Xia Duo's view, but they have just appeared, and they are spreading wantonly and are difficult to eliminate.

This is actually a difference in outlook. What you think is correct may not be considered correct by others. Similarly, what others may think is correct may not be considered correct by you.

The easiest thing for people to change is their thoughts, and the hardest thing to change is also their thoughts.

In a sense, the promotion of an idea is no less than pouring one's own will into other people's heads. As long as the idea exists, the founder of the idea is almost immortal.

Xia Duo was more or less influenced by the ideas of others, most of whom were sages from his hometown.

The ideas of the sages are thought-provoking, and their spirits are shining and everlasting. Even if Xia Duo comes to another world, this influence will not change.

In fact, the shaping of Xia Duo's personality involves the participation of these sage thoughts and ideas. If they are completely abandoned, wouldn't it be like abandoning oneself.

Of course, after Xia Duo's three views are basically formed and his personality is relatively perfect, he will also sublate the past and even the thoughts of contemporary sages based on his own cognition, so as to make his three views more coordinated and his personality more complete.

From this perspective, Xia Duo has actually embarked on the path of a sage pursued by many successful people in his hometown.

But compared to the spiritually immortal sages in his hometown, Xia Duo, who traveled to the magical world, is likely to gain material immortality.

(The substance here refers to the objective entity that is different from the conceptual existence of thought, including body and soul. Of course, in the magical world, conceptual existence may also have some kind of objective entity, similar to the belief in the holy light in wow)

…

After watching the 022 workshop for a while, Xia Duo and Ganal went to the 021 workshop next to it. There was also a communication magic weapon production line here. The number of people was similar to that of 022, and they were all more than 20 people after adjustment.

Shado only took one look here, then retreated to the circular corridor outside. He asked Ganal: "How long do these magic technicians work every day now, and is there any room reserved for them to cast spells individually?"

"some."

Ganal glanced at the closed workshop door and replied, "The current production plan is that each workshop has three production cycles per day, which is used to balance the energy consumption of personnel in each position. Each cycle is about one hour. "

One hour per cycle, which means these magic technicians only need to work three hours a day. It is really the dream of countless workers on the earth!

Fortunately, Xia Duo came here in the morning, and it was relatively early. Otherwise, by the time he came, the two workrooms would have finished get off work!

After thinking for a while, Xia Duo asked again: "Have you calculated how many communication instruments can be produced in each cycle?"

"Three pieces per cycle, but they may still be in the running-in stage, and the yield rate is very low. Almost one-third failed before reaching the inspection stage."

Speaking of this, Ganal showed a helpless expression on his face. He had obviously taken most of the influencing factors into consideration, but the yield rate still could not be improved, which made him very helpless.

"Don't be anxious, take your time." Xia Duo comforted casually.

In fact, he would be very happy if there was a two-thirds yield rate. You must know that based on this yield rate, each workshop can produce 6 quality communication instruments every day.

Two workshops can produce 360 ​​pieces in a month. If a high-level mage produces it alone, can he produce so many pieces without eating or drinking?

Totally impossible!

As for these 360 ​​communication instruments, if according to the quotation given to the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, each communication instrument requires an advance payment of 600 gold coins, which is a huge sum of more than 200,000 gold coins.

What about the cost?

In fact, the communication magic weapon produced by the Tower of Time in this way only costs about 300 gold coins. This includes all costs including personnel wages, raw materials, and depreciation of the alchemy circle.

This is the advantage of large-scale and standardized mass production.

Calculated based on the current yield rate alone, a net profit of at least 100,000 gold coins can be obtained in a month, which makes money faster than mining a gold mine!

How could Xia Duo be unhappy and dissatisfied?

Even this speed of money made him a little scared. In the past, Savile's net income for a year was only about 50,000 gold coins, and this did not include the Tower of Time. If not, then It's even lower.

Now one month is equivalent to the past two years. This kind of leapfrog improvement is indeed a bit big.

Of course, even so, the net income was only over 1 million gold coins a year, and he still couldn't build a mage tower. Thinking of this, Xia Duo felt a little dissatisfied.

Fortunately, mass-produced magic items are not the only type of communication magic items. Tower of Time has also completed the mass-production design of [Alert Talisman] and [Missile Wand].

It's just that the market for these two magic items has long since stabilized. Unless prices dive regardless, it will be difficult to capture more market share even if higher production efficiency is achieved.

Profits in this area are relatively conservative.

At present, there are only communication instruments based on [Magic Network Background Communication], and the market is blank, which is the easiest to fill. As long as you build a reputation, there will be a steady stream of leeks waiting to be harvested in the future.

…

However, while production efficiency is improving, the problem of raw material supply has become more and more prominent, especially for mithril, a precious metal that can only rely on imports and has quota restrictions. It is basically unrealistic to stock up on it.

This made Sha Duo think of the mithril refining technology he brought back from the projection plane. Maybe it's time to put it to use!
