Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2539 Civilian Market Prospects
The reason why there is such a thing, Layton also mentioned in "Measures", because after the magic stove, several household magic appliances will be withdrawn one after another. This mainly depends on the progress of Xia Duo's student Jay.

Just like the smooth popularization of magic stoves, it is also conducive to the promotion of subsequent household magic appliances. Although the initial investment of products such as magic stoves is high, in the long run, both the cost and the convenience are far superior to traditional ordinary appliances. appliance.

This is still a very important part. In the future, more and more magic tools will not have the similar existence in the past traditions. They are all brand-new concepts, and they are actually for the convenience of people's lives.

For example, the washing machine, in the past, it was almost impossible for ordinary people to imagine this kind of existence. Even the cleaning technique of the caster is actually not as easy to use as imagined, it can only clean up some floating dust.

Dirt such as oil stains, odors, juices, etc., are not so easy to clean.

Of course, this is a traditional cleaning technique. For example, Xia Duo developed a new cleaning technique very early on, but it can only clean up most common stains, and it is not suitable for all future scenarios, and this kind of spell is largely useless. To be specially adapted.

Adapting individuals, clothing, and various things that need to be cleaned may not be too much trouble for the caster personally, but it is not so simple when it is used in a general-purpose utensil.

And if you consider the principle of the washing machine on the earth, the detergent has become a big trouble.

In short, there is a lot of room for development of household magic devices, and it is also the main area of ​​investment in the civilian use of territorial magic in the future. The popularity of magic lamps has laid a good foundation for this work.

When the magic stove enters thousands of households smoothly, so that most of the citizens can enjoy the convenience of magic, then in the future, if there is such a magic appliance withdrawn, there is no need to try every means to promote it, but the problem of insufficient production capacity will be a headache up.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo pulled out the "Measures" document that was still pending discussion, left a mark of "agree" on it, and put it on the desk beside him, waiting for Leiden to come here next time You can see it in time.

Of course, it doesn't have to be Leiden. Leiden's clerks will come here almost every other day to keep copies of the documents. If they see a document approved by the lord, they will naturally bring it to Leiden. Xia Duo doesn't need to worry about this at all.

……

In addition to the specific promotion measures for magic equipment, there are some thoughts of Layton on the magic equipment used by the people of the territory on this row of bookshelves, as well as Jay's reply to this.

Introduced their team's research and development progress on magic equipment, as well as the feasibility answer to Layton's proposal, among which cost and manufacturing difficulty were the most mentioned.

Xia Duo roughly flipped through it. The cost of various magic tools being developed by Jay's team is mostly not high-of course, this is compared to traditional magic items. If the cost is found to be too high during the research and development process, Jay will decisively stop Research and development, save data, and wait for a chance to restart later.

The cost of these magic tools is no more than ten or twenty gold coins, and the expensive ones are no more than five hundred. Xia Duo noticed that the most expensive magic tool in Jay's plan was named [Household Force Field Barrier] by him. .

It has not yet entered the research and development stage, but based on the price of traditional magic items, it has initially estimated the cost of [-] gold coins. Of course, these costs are deducted from labor.

As for the labor cost, the cost of magic mechanics on the Tower of Time is relatively uniform at present. There is no situation where high-level magic items are expensive. The salary of magic mechanics has nothing to do with the level of magic items. The number of spell elements is related.

Although objectively high-level magic items contain more elements and require longer working hours, for the Tower of Time, a unified salary standard is more meaningful for long-term development.

"Perhaps we can add more manpower to the research and development team of household magic appliances!"

Although the Tower of Time is short of manpower, Xia Duo still seriously considered this matter. This will not only help promote the process of civilianization of magic in his own territory, but also sell these magic tools to the outside world in exchange for all kinds of land construction. resource.

For now, the only material that Xia Duo does not need to import from the outside is pure gold. Others, such as mithril, even if he has arcane strings that are close to the strings of the magic net, it is impossible to completely replace mithril.

To explain it in terms on the earth, it should be that the stability of Mithril itself is not as stable as that of arcane energy strings, but the robustness of magic items based on mithril materials is higher than that of arcane energy string creations.

After all, no matter how close the arcane string is to the magic net string, it is still not the real magic net string. It is essentially the material projection of the magic net string on the arcane energy.

Even if its nature is very stable, the essence of its energy is still not as reliable as Mithril as a substance when forming a complex system.

Therefore, for Xiaduo, he usually only uses arcane strings in places where Mithril cannot be replaced, such as Mythra, high-throughput portals, etc. Even if other places require more frequent maintenance, he prefers For the use of Mithril.

From this point of view, the superiority of Mysuo is even more prominent. It is reshaped directly by using the strings of the magic net, which has essentially broken away from the concept of general magic items.

It does not require frequent maintenance, and its robustness is also guaranteed. There are often mythos that have lost maintenance for hundreds of years and are still lingering, but it is rare to hear of any magic item that can be used for hundreds of years.

It's no wonder that even though the Red Heart Alliance in the Projected Plane has a brand new magic system, it still regards the magic lock of the elf magic system as the main application direction of the new magic system.

But even in the Red Heart Alliance, Mithril is an important magic material that is very excluded, and it is even more impossible for Xia Duo now.

Selling household magic equipment and other mass-produced magic items that may be more inclined to combat testing, in exchange for raw materials such as mithril, is in line with the general trend of the development of the territory.

Of course, if there is a chance in the future, I still need to find a few more Mithril rich mines. Earning others' money is not considered very capable. Only those who own mines are really capable and confident, and they don't necessarily have to immediately mining.

Xia Duo now has mithril mines, but he has no intention of mining them at all. Instead, he uses them as a strategic reserve. When he can buy them, he still tries to buy them from others.

In addition to mines, not only mithril mines, but also gold, silver, copper, etc., the best result is actually the discovery of the elemental composition of these substances.

At present, Xia Duo has mastered the elemental composition of a total of fifteen substances including fine gold and iron, which can be mass-produced. If he can master the elemental composition of more key resources, then the dependence of Daxia Ling on external resources can be said to be reduced. To the minimum, the greatest initiative can be grasped in all kinds of foreign exchanges.
