Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1880 Combining work and rest

Only this time, Xia Duo did not discuss the experiment-related issues with Sergis as usual, but reminded Sergis very seriously:

"You have stretched yourself too tight, if you relax properly, there may be unexpected gains."

In fact, Xia Duo realized that Sergis's state had deteriorated a bit in the past few days, and the discussion was not as active as it was at the beginning, but instead had a feeling of rigid thinking.

On the contrary, because Xia Duo strictly implemented the plan to commute to and from work on time, although the time spent on the Mystic project was less than half of that of Sergis, but after discussing it, Sergis was led by him more and more later. up.

If it was Sergis in a normal state, Xia Duo would be so happy, and it happened to be convenient for him to carry private goods, but now Sergis, whose state has declined significantly, if he is allowed to continue, it will definitely affect the development of the mythos project. progress.

That is the so-called "half the effort with twice the effort"!
This was something Xia Duo couldn't tolerate, so he couldn't pretend he couldn't see it this time.

"Athos, last night I—huh?"

Just as he was about to tell Athos what he had discovered last night, Sergis realized just halfway through the conversation, realizing that Athos hadn't asked him about the experiment, but was reminding him to rest and relax.

So he immediately retorted: "I've already rested, listen to me, last night—"

But before Sergis could finish speaking, Xia Duo interrupted him directly, "I know you have rested, otherwise you wouldn't be able to persist until now, but has your heart rested? Don't you feel that the past few days Is the progress of the day's experiment slower than before?"

"Do you want to rest your heart?" Sergis seemed to be aware of something, but he was still stubborn. "The progress of the recent experiment has been slower than before because the project is getting more and more difficult!"

"Ha ha!"

Xia Duo suddenly laughed, "Sergis, you look like the excuse I made when I was young and didn't want to eat. I was so hungry that I was already growling, but you were so stubborn."

If it is an exploration project aimed at the unknown, it will indeed be like Sergis said, the more unknowns will become more in the future, and the advancement will be more difficult, but there are not many unknown things in this Mystery project in essence.

Not to mention that after research, the understanding of the new-style fanlock rules based on the adaptive framework is becoming more and more thorough, and the project is advancing faster and faster. Even if it is conservatively estimated, it will not be slower than the beginning.

In fact, the constant speed itself is already considered slow, let alone slower than the beginning, there is definitely a problem.

"Athos, I—"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Sergis's face, but he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged because the speaker was Athos, whom he regarded as his companion and friend.

He has become what he is now, although there are reasons such as the current unstable situation in the Northland and the threat of demons, but to a certain extent, he also has the idea of ​​​​comparing with Asos.

Why do I put all my energy into the project, but it is still not as good as Athos in terms of promoting the project!

The more Sergis wanted to surpass, the more trapped he was. If Athos hadn't woken up today, he would have almost delayed his work!
"Okay, it's not the first day you and I have known each other, so there's no need to say anything extra, leave it to me today, you go back and rest first."

After finishing speaking, Xia Duo seemed to have thought of something, and added, "I heard that Sai'an will organize a banquet tonight, I think you can go and relax, and we will work together again tomorrow."

Of course, a real work-rest combination is not a substitute for a day's rest and a night of carnival, but it's just the beginning.

Later, Xia Duo will continue to pay attention to Sergis' status, and must not let him affect the progress of the project.

……

When Xia Duo said this now, Sergis still hesitated and worried, but under Xia Duo's insistence, Sergis still agreed.

After briefly explaining the results of the last experiment yesterday and what he discovered that night, Sergis quickly left the Wild Vine Valley.

Next is Xia Duo's personal time, until the evening, after giving the next experimental adjustment plan, he will go off work directly.

In the evening, the two project teams will work overtime to conduct an additional experiment.

In fact, under normal circumstances, it is enough for a group to conduct an experiment once a day, and the analysis and adjustment after the experiment are the most time-consuming.

But in order to catch up with the progress, it can only be done at any cost.

Xia Duo's current adjustment plan may not be a complete adjustment plan under normal circumstances.

Use a small amount multiple times instead of a large amount at a time.The advantage of the former is that the cost of detours in experimental design is small, but the cost of the experiment itself is not small at all.

On the contrary, because each progress is relatively small, the cost will increase sharply, and it also puts huge KPI pressure on real researchers.

For Xia Duo who has long been accustomed to 996, this little pressure is nothing at all, but for the always "lazy" elves, it may be unbearable.

……

Leaving from the wild vine valley, Xia Duo didn't think about the problems related to the lock at all. When he returned to the manor, Sally had already prepared the experimental rabbit.

Just next to the laboratory, a row of simple rabbit houses had been built. When Xia Duo arrived, a male wood elf druid was casting spells to appease the restless rabbits.

At this time, Sally who accompanied Xia Duo took the opportunity to introduce:
"My lord, there are a total of 150 rabbits here, including 50 domesticated rabbits and 100 wild rabbits. In addition, in order not to affect normal reproduction, according to the druid's suggestion, there are 20 males and 130 females. .”

"There are still domesticated rabbits? Are there elves in Evereska raising rabbits?" Xia Duo asked curiously.

When he went out during the day, he asked Sally to buy healthy rabbits. He still wanted to find hunters to catch wild rabbits in the nearby forest. The reason why he wanted to recruit druids was because he was worried that wild rabbits would be difficult to raise.

"My lord, these domestic rabbits are pets kept by civilians, and they are also an important source of meat."

"So, there are a lot of rabbits in the city of Evereska?" Xia Duo asked again.

He knows that rabbits have a strong reproductive ability. If there are 50 rabbits as a base, it may be more than ten times in a year. He wants to know why Sally doesn't buy all domesticated rabbits.

"My lord, there are indeed many domestic rabbits in the city, but the number is relatively stable. Apart from the limited land in the city, it is also largely due to the deliberate control of the druids."

"I see!" Xia Duo said silently.

Although the elven society has various deficiencies, compared to humans, the elves are a race that can be called "pure and ascetic", even eating a rabbit will consciously plan to give birth.

"By the way, I used male rabbits for the experiment, and there are only 20 male rabbits now, which is too little, so I need to make up to [-] male rabbits."

If it is only used for reproduction, it does not need so many, the key still depends on the number of females.

However, if it is used for experiments, it will still be mainly males at the beginning, and the heredity of arcane infection may be studied later, and only female rabbits will be used at that time.
