Lord of Arcane

Despite Atwood's recommendation, considering the importance of magic glue research, Xia Duo still did not hand it over to Inuvić directly, but proposed a gambling condition——

"I will first appoint Inuvic as the acting director of the magic glue research center, and provide all the convenience that can be provided. If the research center can make a practical rubber hose before the underground part of the Linshui Village reconstruction project officially starts, then this title The "agent" part of the admin can be removed directly, if not, I will appoint another supervisor. "

After finishing speaking, Xia Duo looked at Inuvic who was showing a shocked expression, "How is it? Are you confident to do well?"

Inuvich was stunned for a moment, and quickly reassured loudly: "Yes, I will definitely do it!"

"Very good! This is what a mage in the new era should look like!"

Shado is very satisfied with Inuvich's attitude. Next, he will fulfill his promise and provide Inuvich with a necessary convenience.

If Inuvic makes achievements, it will not only be the director of the Magic Glue Research Center, but he will also include the other party in a new batch of inheritance ceremony lists to help the other party grow rapidly.

Even if he failed to produce results, Inuvic's current performance has already left a deep enough impression in Xia Duo's heart. If there is a chance to cultivate him in the future, he will naturally not forget him.

……

A material and personnel authorization document was signed on the spot and handed over to Inuvić, before Xia Duo and Leiden left the barracks.

Considering the imminent reconstruction of Linshui Village, Jay's portable laboratory will not be taken back for the time being, but will continue to be handed over to Inuvić to form a magic glue research center.

It would not be too late to relocate after making practical water pipes. As for Jay staying there during this period of time, this is actually not a conflict. Jay is a magic affairs officer, and usually does research related to the civilian use of magic.

Although magic glue does not directly involve magic, whether it is the breeding of magic glue monsters, the extraction of colloidal materials, or the production of final products, magic is inseparable. This is entirely the responsibility of the magic affairs officer.

Therefore, in the next period of time, Jay will also work with Inuvich and others, whether it is studying magic glue or starting new projects, it will all be in this laboratory anyway.

The secondary lab is large enough to accommodate them all together.

……

After coming out of the barracks, Xia Duo did not go to the north again, but stood by the sentry post outside the barracks and chatted with Layton, "It will take some time to research the practical magic glue water pipe, and after researching it, it will take some time." Production, this time is probably not too short, do you have any ideas here?"

"It seems that the lord is really concerned about the application of magic glue. If you want to use it in this Linshui Village reconstruction project, you need to rearrange all the plans."

"When there is an opportunity to do better, of course we must strive to do better."

Xia Duo first set the tone, and then further explained: "Magic glue has a wide range of applications, and what we can see now is at least two applications, such as urban pipes and tires.

"And the latter is not only a bicycle tire, can it not be used for other vehicles? It is said that steam vehicles can not only be used as tires, but also as steam seals.

"Also, if you think about the shoes that most of the citizens wear now, would it be more comfortable if the soles were made of magic glue?"

If there are other applications, Layton has not had a very intuitive feeling, but when it comes to shoes, his feelings are too deep. As an orphan, he has never worn any good shoes since he can remember.

I was barefoot most of the time. I didn’t own my first pair of straw sandals until I was a teenager. Later, I also wore cloth shoes and leather shoes. The latter two are slightly more comfortable, but they are expensive, especially for ordinary people.

If you want to do it yourself, most people don't have that skill, and only a few shoemakers have monopolized the manufacturing method. It is conceivable that the output is very limited.

Since the Great Xia Territory opened up, the craftsmanship of linen shoes has been gradually developed and opened to all the citizens. However, in the southern part of the country, only the Savile Territory grows flax. There are wild flax, but very few, and you need to go deep into the forest to find it. The loss outweighs the gain .

A shoe can be made from the same material as a suit of clothes, and the production cycle is longer, so most of the people choose straw sandals.

Pick up some flexible blades of grass and vines from the river or in the forest, and you don't need any craftsmanship. If you can protect your toes and soles, it will be useful.

But are such shoes comfortable?

Obviously not comfortable. Layton is wearing a pair of straw sandals on his feet at the moment. He collects materials and weaves them himself. His craftsmanship is better than most of the citizens, but in terms of comfort, even the most common cloth shoes can't compare.

Not to mention leather shoes.

But now, the climate has entered winter, the straw sandals are ventilated from all sides, and the cold air invades from the soles of the feet. People with poor physique may not be able to stand it at all.

The reason for wearing straw sandals is that since Leiden became the consul of the territory, he made an oath that he would eat whatever the people eat and use whatever the people use.

Most of the citizens now wear straw sandals, so it is naturally impossible for him to choose the leather shoes that he is actually qualified and has the capital to own.

At this moment, when the lord mentioned magic rubber shoes, Layton's heart suddenly became hot. Being able to make water pipes obviously can release water, and being able to release water can undoubtedly prevent wind.

And better elasticity can bring a more comfortable experience. As for cold protection, as long as the shoes are made bigger, hay, linen or even fur can be stuffed inside.

Anyway, better than any kind of shoes that the people of the country are using!

"Lord, can you really use magic glue to make shoes?" Layton himself didn't even notice that there was such a tremor in his tone.

At present, the people living in Daxia have no major problems with food, clothing, housing and transportation, but there are too many areas that can be improved, and shoes are one of the most prominent aspects!
In response to Leiden's doubts, Shado asked: "Why not? The citizens can use magic lamps, magic stoves, and magic heaters, so why can't they send shoes made of magic glue?"

Speaking of this, Xia Duo reminded Layton, "If you want everyone to get a pair of magic rubber shoes as soon as possible, then the construction of the magic glue monster farm is urgent! I think the workshop area of ​​Linshui Town in the future can Start work early!"

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

"In addition to the magic glue monster farm, there is also the magic glue product workshop, and continue to prepare in advance. You don't need to consider the progress of Inuvić's side. No matter whether there is any result there, you must prepare the infrastructure in advance. Well, as soon as there are results over there, this side can be put into production immediately."

"Yes, I know."

"In addition, it is foreseeable that the magic glue production capacity cannot cover all aspects at once in a short period of time, so there must be a trade-off, estimate the consumption in advance, and give priority to ensuring the supply of the underground part of the reconstruction part of Linshui Village that is inconvenient to rework later."

"Yes." (End of this chapter)
