Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2049 Two Choices, Two Paths
The inheritance ceremony in the two choices given by Xia Duo comes from Uvilon in the projection plane. The technology itself is relatively perfect, and it is only necessary to "record" some wisdom gems according to the actual situation of the Tower of Time.

As for the "learning machine", at present Xia Duo is not fully sure that he will be able to produce the finished product before a certain deadline. He can only say that the expected "smart learning machine" is achievable.

It's not the simple question-and-answer machine that the Tower of Time currently uses for apprentices, but the learning machine that is similar to how real people use "knowledge star maps" to teach students one-on-one according to their aptitude.

Choosing the inheritance ceremony means that there is a high probability of becoming a high-level mage, but it is not guaranteed. Inheritance can only pass on knowledge and part of experience, and there is still a specific individual away from practice!
But with the knowledge reserve and some experience of a high-level mage, as long as an individual is willing to spend time practicing, it is only a matter of time before becoming a high-level mage. (Life is too short, so there is no way~)

And if you choose a learning machine, it means choosing an uncertain future. Perhaps other people who choose to inherit the ceremony have already become high-level mages, and a perfect intelligent learning machine has not yet been created.

Looking at the expressions on the faces of the people in the meeting room, Xia Duo could probably guess their choices. If he thinks that becoming a high-level mage is easy, then it is naturally better to choose a learning machine.

And if you think that you don't have the potential to become a high-level mage, then the inheritance ceremony with a higher minimum limit is a good choice.

It's just that the choice of the two is to some extent Xia Duo's career diversion for the Tower of Time mages. If you choose the inheritance ceremony, you will be guaranteed a high-level mage, but you will be engaged in work that has nothing to do with magic research in the future.

Specifically, at present, Xia Duo will send all those who have chosen to inherit the ceremony to the Department of Magical Mechanics, and senior mechanics may be more suitable for them.

Only those who choose learning machines and take the initiative to learn can stay in the research department. In a normal magic society, it is not necessary for everyone to conduct magic research. Most people only need to know the basic principles and how to apply them.

This is actually an inevitable result of education for all. It is impossible to allocate a laboratory and corresponding resources to everyone. This is unrealistic, and it is easy to cause confusion and cause great waste.

In other words, Xia Duo intends to further deepen the ideological and institutional transformation inside the Tower of Time through everyone's choice of inheritance ceremony and learning machine.

If all goes well, the future will be seamlessly connected with the territorial order.

……

After talking about the benefits, the impromptu meeting was considered to be coming to an end, and Niya announced the end of the meeting after speaking a few words on the spot.

When everyone left, Cecily stayed behind without incident, her lips were tightly pressed, and she ran to Nya's side in aggrieved manner, holding Nya's hand and crying:

"The Tower of Time can't spare any extra resources to build some kind of floating city! Woohoo, it's so difficult for me!"

While comforting her little sister who grew up together, Niya winked at Xia Duo, Xia Duo couldn't help sighing, "This matter might not be easy to solve in the past, but now I'm more worried about which company's resources I should accept! "

The performance of the Floating Void City in Sluvand may not have spread to Netheril so quickly, but it will always come. In fact, for some lords who often pay attention to the international situation, they may have received relevant news a long time ago.

It's just that the news may be too shocking and needs time to buffer or verify. Once it is slowed down or verified, Xia Duo can almost imagine that what he wants here, someone will give it to him.

Worst of all, the Mithril mine discovered in the Green Pearl Forest can also be developed, so there is no need to worry about someone coming to snatch it at this time.

Of course, Xia Duo is still more inclined to make long-term plans. His own mine can not be opened temporarily, and others don’t need to accept gifts. He still needs to obtain resources through fair trade.

In fact, for the strong, ensuring fairness and stability is the greatest interest.

Those who act recklessly as soon as they gain power, looking for this point and that point, will eventually suffer backlash when their power declines.

And like Xia Duo, who practiced the kingly way, even if he declined in the future, others would only regret it rather than embarrass him.

The so-called "the right way helps more than the wrong way", the kingly way is easier to get the widest recognition, and it is more difficult to decline than "domineering".

In fact, this is the "sustainable development concept" that the sages in Xia Duo's hometown realized very early. In the era before Xia Duo traveled, he still pursued this concept. Is it simply a mischief of tradition?Without a little interest consideration?

Acting in the kingly way seeks far and loses, but gains more; acting in a bully is almost the complete opposite, only cares about short-term benefits, although gaining a lot temporarily, in the long run, it greatly reduces the potential for future development .

Regarding Cecily's concerns, Xia Duo only mentioned two points. One was that he had already contacted the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce and purchased a batch of basic materials on account.

Currently, the Tower of Time is preparing for Master Yerevan's ascension ceremony, and Yerevan is the ancestor of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce President Zhenna (just recognized not long ago). Xia Duo has clearly expressed his support for Yerevan's ascension to the gods before. .

Although the actual expression is no objection, but in this kind of matter, no objection is support, and Jenna naturally needs to appreciate it, let alone restore the alliance relationship that the two have agreed before. It is not a big deal to buy some materials.

The other is another important source of Mithril in the Tower of Time - Leisen Territory. At present, Leisen Territory has formed a Mithril output pricing alliance with several Mithril-producing territories.

Because of its special status, Leisenling has a lot of voice in this alliance, and can affect more than [-]% of Netheril's total Mithril output.

When Xia Duo proposed to Lord Leisen that he wanted to buy more Mithril, Lord Leisen agreed almost without saying a word. In addition to the relationship between Xia Duo and Cliff behind Lord Leisen, the Floating Void City also played a role. Great effect.

Although Xia Duo didn't drive the floating city to the door of Lord Leisen's house, and didn't even make a slight verbal threat, this kind of deterrence or power actually took effect.

Lord Leisen's side is still pending, and the price is even higher than the price agreed by the two parties before. It is certainly impossible to adjust production or transfer reserves without cost.

There is no reason for Xia Duo to let the helpers pay for this part of the price.

In actual calculation, Xia Duo has prepared a total of more than 1000 million gold coins of mithril for this floating city infrastructure construction, and the first batch will be delivered within a week.

Before that, the reserves of the Tower of Time can still handle it for the time being.

As for the five-color gems, Xia Duo has long been fed up with the wide variety and different specifications of the five-color gems. With [Mythra], he has completely given up the five-color gems.

Ao Neng Crystal is the best substitute.
