Lord of Arcane

Chapter 889
People can be influenced 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 is more or less a "Utopia" in his heart, which may or may not conform to the mainstream of society and historical trends.

But given the opportunity, who can resist the temptation to change the world according to their own will!
On Earth, most of the conflicts of human beings are for such an opportunity - the opportunity to explain the world, to transform the world!

Even the battles initiated by primitive people in order to survive contain the meaning of control in it, control resources, control the lives of the enemy and ourselves.

It was only later that science was quickly recognized by the majority of people with unparalleled reliability, and then it exploded with unprecedented potential, giving birth to a big killer like nuclear weapons, which eliminated countless conflicts.

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

In Xia Duo's view, some reasons for the conflict are illogical and extremely absurd, but they have appeared and spread wantonly, making it difficult to eliminate.

This is actually the difference between the three views. What you think is correct, other people may not necessarily think so. Similarly, what other people think is correct, you may not necessarily think it is correct.

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 ideas is no less than pouring one's own will into other people's heads. Afterwards, as long as the ideas exist, the founder of the ideas is almost equal to immortality.

Xia Duo was more or less influenced by other people's ideas, most of which were sages from his hometown.

The ideas of the sages are thought-provoking, their spirits are radiant, and they last forever. Even if Xia Duo came to another world, this influence would not change.

In fact, the shaping of Xia Duo's personality has the participation of these sages' thoughts and concepts. If they are completely abandoned, wouldn't they be abandoning themselves.

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

From this point of view, Xia Duo has actually embarked on the path of a sage that many successful and famous people in his hometown would pursue.

It's just that compared to the spiritually immortal sages in his hometown, Xia Duo who traveled to the magical world is very likely to obtain material immortality.

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

……

After looking at the 022 workshop for a while, Xia Duo and Ganal came to the 021 workshop next to it. There is also a communication instrument production line here. The number of people is similar to that of 022, and there are more than 20 people after adjustment.

Xia Duo only glanced here, then backed out, and went to the circular corridor outside. He asked Ganal: "How long do these magicians work every day now, and is there any room for them to cast their own spells?"

"some."

Ganal glanced at the closed portal of the workshop and replied, "The current production plan is three production cycles per day in each workshop to balance the energy consumption of the personnel in each position, and each cycle is about 1 hour. "

One hour per cycle, that is to say, these magic technicians only need to work for three hours a day, which is really the dream of countless workers on earth!
Fortunately, Xia Duo came here in the morning, and it was still relatively early, otherwise, the two workshops would be off work when he came here!
After thinking for a while, Xia Duo asked again: "Then how many communication instruments can be produced in each cycle, have you counted them?"

"Three pieces per cycle, but they may still be in the running-in stage, the yield rate is very low, and almost one-third of them fail before the inspection process."

Speaking of this, Gardner showed a helpless expression on his face. He had obviously taken into account most of the influencing factors, but the good product rate still couldn't be improved, which made him very helpless.

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

In fact, he is already very happy with a two-thirds good product rate. You must know that according to such a good product rate, each workshop can produce 6 good product communication instruments every day.

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

Totally impossible!
As for these 360 ​​communication instruments, if each communication instrument is paid 600 gold coins in advance according to the quotation given to the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, this is a huge sum of more than 20 gold coins.

What about the cost?
In fact, the cost of the communication magic weapon produced by the Tower of Time in this way is only about 300 gold coins, which still includes all costs including staff salaries, raw materials and depreciation of the alchemy circle.

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

Based on the current yield rate alone, a net profit of at least 10 gold coins can be obtained in a month, which is faster than mining gold!
How could Xia Duo be unhappy and dissatisfied!
Even the speed of this kind of money made him a little scared. You must know that Savile’s net income for a year was only about 5 gold coins. This still counts the Tower of Time in it. It's even lower.

Now one month has surpassed the past two years, this kind of leap-like improvement is indeed a bit big.

Of course, even so, the net income is only more than 100 million gold coins a year, and a mage tower cannot be built. Thinking about it this way, Xia Duo felt a little dissatisfied again.

Fortunately, mass-produced magic items are not the only communication instruments. The Tower of Time has also completed the mass-production design of [Vigilance Amulet] and [Missile Wand].

It's just that the market for these two types of magic items has long since stabilized. Unless the price dives regardless, it will be difficult to occupy more market share even if they have higher production efficiency.

Profits in this area are relatively conservative.

At present, there are only communication magic tools based on [Magic Network Background Communication], the market is blank, and it is the easiest to fill. As long as you make a name for yourself, there will be a steady stream of leeks waiting to be harvested in the future.

……

However, with the increase in production efficiency, the problem of raw material supply has become more and more prominent, especially Mithril, a precious metal that can only rely on imports and has quota restrictions. It is basically unrealistic to stock up.

This made Xia Duo think of the mithril refining technology he brought back from the projection plane, maybe it's time to let it work!
