Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

This has also caused Anduin to feel a little worried recently. Although he obviously has a lot of wealth, he still feels short of money.

Faced with this situation, it was impossible to reduce expenditures. It seemed that he had to think of other ways to increase revenue. He originally planned to start a business after graduation, so he had to plan in advance.

One month after Anduin returned to his home at No. 277 Diagon Alley, he came to his alchemy laboratory as a routine, sat down at the workbench, and casually opened a large piece of parchment, with an item depicted on it.

Half of the alchemical instruments were in his hands, and then he looked at the drawings in front of him and became thoughtful.

He is seriously thinking about the next direction of work.

Since he is doing business, his first choice is naturally the alchemy product he is most familiar with, and being in a commercial location like Diagon Alley, he cannot waste it.

Just like the joke he had with Ms. Purnell, he was planning to open a company here selling alchemical goods.

Since he wanted to do business, he had to consider the relationship between supply and demand. Rather than going into retail and selling some lifestyle alchemy products, he preferred to do business directly with the Ministry of Magic.

If we could become a stable supplier to the Ministry of Magic, it would be no better than selling daily props one by one.

The Ministry of Magic would not refuse to sell some products that are highly practical, consume a lot, and can significantly improve work efficiency.

And he had already laid the groundwork before. After communicating with Aurors like Moody, he found that there was still a market for his tactical equipment.

Moreover, when doing business with an organization like the Ministry of Magic, you also need to consider the relationship aspect. It is unrealistic to expect others to come and buy from you because your products are of high quality.

Anduin had been a big help to the Minister of Magic before. Minister Badno must be easy to talk to. The new Director of the Department of Legal Enforcement is Professor Bones's sister, who is also half of his own people. He is from the Auror Command.

Not to mention Moody, the two of them are now in a good relationship and are about to give up.

Now that we have sales, we have specific ideas. Now we have to consider product issues.

First of all, the protective amulets, flash amulets, sonic boom amulets, etc. that he showed to Moody before can all be used as regular flagship products. These standard props are consumables that need to be replenished frequently.

Moreover, he can also cut corners a little after mass production and reduce their duration. In this way, even if a single amulet is not used, it can only last for three months. After that time, it must be replaced. Of course, replacement of the original can reduce the cost.

Price wise, this way you can ensure continued sales and cash flow.

Anyway, he was the one who made it, and no one knows the real duration of these props.

And better quality tactical equipment, such as magic handcuffs, phase shoes, tactical vests, etc., I believe will be of great help to those Aurors and strikers fighting on the front line, so whether it is the unified equipment of the Ministry of Magic,

Whether he comes to buy it privately or not, it can bring him enough financial resources.

At the same time, he is preparing to develop some attractive equipment for these Ministry of Magic field personnel.

Regarding this point, he actually had some ideas for a long time. Anduin and Moody had previously had in-depth exchanges on the problems that front-line troops often encountered. He planned to start from these places and get some targeted equipment.

However, what he is considering now is not the product issue, but the production capacity issue.

He put his hand on the parchment and groped carefully, thinking about using this instrument under development to solve the production capacity problem.

To make an alchemy item that can be used stably, three elements are needed: materials, runes, and magic power.

What should be considered when it comes to materials is the magical performance and magic storage capacity. The stronger the magical performance of the material, the closer the engraved runes will be to the original strength of the magic. Therefore, for the same alchemy props, good materials are better than worse ones.

high strength.

The magic power storage capacity can determine the upper limit of the inscribed runes and the time the runes can last. The so-called upper limit of the runes is similar to the fact that it takes at least 30 ticks of magic power to cast the calendar fire spell, but if the material can only bear 20 ticks of magic power at most, then use this

If you use the same materials, you won't be able to make a prop that can cast Calendar Fire.

What needs to be considered when it comes to runes is the accuracy of the inscription. This is not as simple as imagined, because the shape of many finished alchemy props is not a flat piece. Engraving on curved surfaces or broken line materials is very demanding, and it also requires

Continuously and steadily input magic power, otherwise it will be difficult to complete.

The last magic power is naturally the energy that drives the entire magic props. However, unless excellent materials are used, the magic power on many alchemy props will dissipate over time, and there are many alchemy props in use.

You also need to input magic power into it to activate it, such as those throwing talismans made by Anduin.

Of course, the alchemy tools used by Anduin himself will be equipped with a rechargeable function. If the magic power is insufficient, just replenish it, which greatly extends the service life.

If it were a mass-produced alchemy product, he wouldn't be so considerate. After all, only when it is lost can it be replenished.

Therefore, making an alchemy prop is not as simple as imagined. Cutting materials, shaping it, and maintaining the magic power to engrave it. Even for an experienced person like Anduin, such a process will take a lot of time.

If the products sold in business are all handmade one by one like this, it would be a waste of time. This is why many alchemy workshops do not produce a particularly large number of props.

To solve this problem, we either have to make high-end products and make one for a year, or we have to recruit people and ask employees to help with the production.

What Anduin wants to sell are consumable equipment commonly used by Aurors. The quantity will definitely be large, but hiring people will increase the cost.

If the product is sold too cheaply, the profit will be small; if it is sold too expensively, the sales volume will be reduced accordingly.

So in order to solve the problem of production capacity, he decided to first get the instrument on the drawing in front of him.

The drawing he is designing is a magic lathe that can independently process alchemical tools.

In his vision, as long as you add materials to this magic lathe, you can cut and shape the materials independently, and accurately complete the engraving work.

It is equivalent to setting up an automated production line in his underground laboratory to seamlessly produce those standardized props around the clock.

The material part is very simple. Anyway, he will not use high-hardness materials such as Ulim steel for this kind of standardized equipment. The power of the machine is enough to cut and press semi-finished products of fixed shapes.

Moreover, compared to hand-made products, machine-shaped finished products may be more accurate and have more consistent specifications.
