Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2616 Family Dialogue Mechanic Questions

After leaving the detection laboratory, Xia Duo went to the Tower of Time, but he didn't see Niya in the study on the top floor. He inquired about Tower Ling, only to find out that Niya was drinking tea with Epps in the Arcane Garden.

It's autumn now. Affected by the abnormal climate, these days have become significantly colder and the sky is gloomy. It seems that snow may fall at any time.

In addition, it is almost impossible to snow before the Moon Festival, but now there is more than a full month before the Moon Festival, and there are already signs of suspected snowfall.

Xia Duo just came back from the ground not long ago. When he came to the Arcane Garden, he also guessed why Niya and his daughter came here to drink tea. I am afraid that it is like a midsummer environment all year round.

"Niya, Epps, you guys are so relaxed!"

Just in front of the warehouse at the entrance of the Arcane Garden, Xia Duo greeted Niya and Epps, took out a low stool, and sat down.

Niya turned pale when she saw this, Xia Duo glanced at her, but began to pour tea for Xia Duo, while Epps said suspiciously: "Xia Duo, why are you here? Just now Niya said that you might be busy in the laboratory. It's been a long time!"

"It seems that you guys have taken a lot of laziness here! I only told Niya to go to the laboratory in the morning, and now it's almost evening!"

"Huh? It's been so long?"

The surprise in Epps' eyes did not seem to be fake. He looked at his daughter and sighed, "It seems that our father and daughter have not had a good chat for a while. It goes by so fast."

"I also feel that time flies." Niya silently added some water to her father's teacup, and then asked Xia Duo as if she suddenly thought of something, "By the way, why did you come to find me specially?" Is there something urgent?"

"It's not urgent, I just call you for dinner."

"Not honest, repeat! In the past, it was called by subpoena."

"All right!"

Xia Duo glanced at the smiling Epps, didn't feel any embarrassment, and went straight to the business, "I already have an idea of ​​the communication fan lock node magic weapon you asked about earlier, and if there is no accident, it will be very easy. It will be resolved soon."

"It must be more than this!" Niya suppressed her curiosity about the solution of the node magic weapon, and continued to ask, "What else?"

"Of course, I would like to ask Madam who is able to do more work, to help out as a foreman, and hurry up to make the empty warehouse." Xia Duo continued.

"I knew it!"

Niya burst out laughing, "Didn't Uncle Eberke tell you? Every time you want to arrest someone for work, you always have that look on your face!"

"Is there?" Xia Duo showed an innocent expression.

But I didn't expect Niya to clap her hands suddenly, holding Xia Duo's arm and said with a smile: "Yes, that's the way, those who can do more work, Uncle Eberke probably heard the cocoon in his ears when he said this. It’s the first time I’ve heard it, it’s really interesting!”

Maybe it's because the father's body is recovering well, or because the father and daughter chatted happily, but Niya's state is obviously much more lively and cheerful than usual.

Seeing Niya like this, Xia Duo was actually happier, and he also joked, "It seems that I will change the term next time I work with Eberke!"

"No need to change, no need to change! So that sentence is very good!"

At this moment, Epps also interjected, "I think Eberke is actually very happy to hear that!"

"This--"

Xia Duo and Niya looked at each other, and ended the topic very tacitly. Epps can say this, but it is somewhat inappropriate for them as juniors.

After chatting for a while, the three left the Arcane Garden together, and went to have dinner at the lord's villa in Facing Water Village. On the way, Xia Duo privately sent a message to Epps:

"Your current state is not suitable for a high-concentration positive energy environment. I will lower the concentration of positive energy in the Arcane Garden later. If Nya asks, you can say that the Tower of Time stops in the floating city and there is no food worry." , I am going to transform the Arcane Garden into a tea garden, and I am currently adjusting the environment."

This was actually a plan that had been planned early in the morning, but he had been so busy during this period that he didn't think about the tea garden or anything. It was only when he saw Epps in the Arcane Garden that he thought of it today.

Of course, Epps' body is indeed not suitable for staying in a high-concentration positive energy environment for a long time, but a lower concentration is conducive to Epps' recovery.

In addition to external weather reasons, the positive energy environment may also be an important reason for Epps to linger in the Arcane Garden. After all, the body sends out a signal, and people will naturally make choices, as if they are hungry and want to eat.

In addition to the adjustment of the Arcane Garden itself, Xia Duo is also planning to make a talisman for Epps that can adjust the parameters of the surrounding environment. Now Epps seems to be recovering well, but in fact it is very empty.

Epps himself should be aware of this, only the silly girl Niya is still in the dark.

……

During dinner, Xia Duo talked about the idea of ​​using elemental essences for automated production, and also mentioned the reality that a large amount of elemental essences may be imported from Calimshan in the future.

"It turned out to be so?"

Niya knew about the existence of the soul talisman before, so she probably had some psychological expectations for the automation of the soul, but Epps was completely unprepared.

In his past impressions, the production capacity of the Tower of Time's magic items was astonishingly low, but he didn't expect that it could be produced automatically now, which really exceeded his cognition.

"Xia Duo, since you mentioned this, I have a question. I have seen a lot in the Tower of Time these days, among which magicians are the most puzzling to me. Now that there is automation, then the meaning of those people's existence what is it then?"

This is not only the confusion of Epps, an old man who has just traveled from the past to the present, Nya also casts a puzzled look at Xia Duo after confirming that automation is feasible.

"Magic mechanics, originally set up for the standardized mass production of magic items, will definitely play an important role in the future. As for their relationship with automation—"

Xia Duo paused, thinking of the relationship between industrial workers and industrial robots in his hometown, "Actually, they are not either-or, automation will allow them to focus more on breakthroughs in the field of technology.

"Of course, some low-end technicians will inevitably be eliminated in this process, so at this stage, I will not focus on automation. It is necessary to maintain a large team of magic technicians."

In fact, most of the magic technicians in the Tower of Time are low-end technicians in Xia Duo's mouth. In the future, they need to develop in the direction of more professional engineers.

For Epps and Niya's doubts, Xia Duo spoke very generally, but surprisingly, both of them understood it. It is not surprising that Nia understood it. After all, Xia Duo had told Nia about many of Xia Duo's blueprints, and Ep It was surprising that Si understood.

It seems that during this period of time, Epps has indeed received a lot of new thinking and concepts in the Tower of Time.
