Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1433 Variable Group of Seven

After listening to Lord Xiaduo's explanation, Charles Harlan fell into deep thought for a moment.

His intuition told him that Lord Xiaduo should be hiding something; but his rationality told him that if there was really a way to speed up production, Severton would have heard the news long ago.

Prince Pasteur's request needs to be taken seriously, but the relationship with Lord Xiaduo needs to be maintained even more.

Without much consideration, Charles Harlan made his own choice, "Prince Pasteur is only too worried about the war to make such a request, Lord Xiaduo, I will truthfully tell Prince Pasteur your answer. , I believe he can understand."

From Prince Pasteur, he can only get money benefits, but from Lord Xiaduo, he can get more.

Charles has never forgotten that the reason why he was able to talk to Prince Pasteur and gain the respect of the other party to a certain extent was not because Lord Xiaduo provided him with a continuous and stable supply of demon-slaying amulets.

If this line is broken, Prince Pasteur's side will probably be broken too.

It is impossible to judge which is more important.

Charles said that Prince Pasteur could understand, and it was not empty words. Maybe the other party could not understand, but he had to pretend to understand.

This is the situation. After all, even the other party said it was a request, a hope, not a request or a transaction.

……

After Prince Pasteur's episode, Xia Duo and Charles discussed the quantity of orders for demon-slaying amulets for next month. When Xia Duo suggested that the production might be doubled next month, Charles was really surprised and happy, and a little scared.

The joy is that the output has doubled, and his voice over Prince Pasteur has increased; the surprise is that the Tower of Time may really have some secret method for rapid production, but it has nothing to do with him.

As for the later fear, if he used Prince Pasteur to overwhelm him just now, maybe he would regret it now.

"Lord Xia Duo, being able to cooperate with you is one of the things I am most grateful for."

"I hope, the future is still very long, and I hope our cooperation can last for a long time."

In fact, Xia Duo had a bad impression of Lord Haran. He was too impatient and too focused on immediate interests. However, as a current collaborator, he still had the obligation to remind him a few words.

……

The specific gradient quotation for the Demon Slaying Talisman has been negotiated before. This time, Xia Duo did not get too entangled with Lord Harlan, and still maintained the previous negotiation results.

After sending Lord Haran away, Xia Duo sat in the reception room for a while, carefully thinking about the impact of Prince Pasteur's request. Now it is easy to find an excuse to refuse.

I'm afraid that the other party will make trouble in the Northland Alliance. If everyone knows about the trouble, maybe mass production will not be a secret.

In fact, as far as it is now, many mage tower organizations have touched the threshold of division of labor and cooperation in the production of magic items, but they may not have done a special mass production design to reduce the cost to a single person. degree of advantage.

As for standardized mass production, that is another threshold. Xia Duo has the background of the aborigines who traveled through the pre-industrial era, so he can take the lead in standardizing in a high-level way.

In fact, the standardization process on the earth was gradually developed after the industrial revolution, and it did not appear at the beginning.

The earth is like this, if it develops naturally here, it will not be too different.

"You are the variable!"

Xia Duo thought that every time he hoped to obtain a stable development opportunity, various things would come to him. This is the case with Miser Energy, and it is also the same in the current preparatory stage of industrialization.

Maybe he can use the passage of "heaven will send a great responsibility to the people", but Xia Duo really doesn't want there to be too many variables beyond his control.

It is enough to have such a variable as yourself, too many, it is really troublesome!
……

After thinking for a while, Xia Duo set off for Iolum's laboratory.

"Teacher, I left in a hurry and didn't have time to ask, what's wrong with the production of David's string member automatic preparation machine?"

As soon as he arrived at the laboratory, Xia Duo saw Iolum busy in the floating field in the center of the laboratory. As for the other students mentioned by the other party, there was not even a shadow.

At this moment, he had every reason to suspect that Iolum was just trying to trick him into coming back.

Of course, this was just a joke. When he saw Iolum's face, he knew that his cheap teacher must be cruel this time.

The eye sockets were almost flushed, and the eyes showed deep fatigue. Xia Duo even suspected that Iolum might not even have a rest in the past two days since he left.

"You came!"

Just as Iolum spoke, his hoarse voice seemed to scare even himself, he coughed heavily, and then adjusted himself, saying:
"I asked Brod just now, and he said that he couldn't understand the plug-in part of the component design drawing. Brod and the others are in the laboratory next to them. They studied the blueprint of the David string component automatic preparation machine you left behind. The actual production has not started for two days, go help them!"

"Okay! But—the teacher should go to rest!"

Xia Duo glanced at the half-finished independent Austrian fire device experimental machine behind Iolum, and reminded, "Don't let several days of work be destroyed by fatigue work."

"I see, you go first!"

When Iolum did this, Xia Duo didn't insist anymore. After all, he was just fulfilling his duty of reminder. Everyone is an adult and should be responsible for their own decisions. Presumably Iolum knew the seriousness.

……

Austrian Law Federation, Laboratory No. 012.

When Xia Duo entered, he only saw five people including Brod, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Iolum lived for hundreds of years, and the number of students is certainly not something that can be counted on one hand. .

But in this situation, more people may not be a good thing. Before, he was really worried that Iolum would call dozens or even hundreds of people at once, so he would have to re-evaluate Iolum's mental state at the moment. .

He didn't want to be tied to a wreck that was doomed to capsize.

Fortunately, Iolum has not been overwhelmed by the urgent desire for an independent Austrian fire device. Knowing the current situation, the fewer insiders, the less likely it is to reveal his flaws.

At this moment, in the laboratory, Xia Duo's arrival undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention, and Brod walked towards him with great strides:
"Xia Duo, you are finally here, let me introduce you."

As he spoke, he led Xia Duo to the four people who were trying to make David strings by personal casting, and then introduced them one by one:
"This is the teacher's students - Lowe, Boggs and Olsson; the rest is my student, my brother, and of course the teacher's student - Galvani. Among them, Lowe is a senior Austrian. As a magician, although the timing of the others is a bit off, their talents are not inferior to Luo Wei."

"Good luck, everyone!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you!"*4
