Lord of Arcane

When Xia Duo arrived at the laboratory, Simon had already left. Twenty soldiers were sitting in a corner of the laboratory, holding ID cards in their hands and simulating various transfer scenarios with their companions.

As for Eberk, he occupies the spell experiment area and is conducting experiments related to the power of order spell.

After stopping the soldiers from standing up and saluting, Sha Duo came directly to Ai Bok's side, observed for a moment, and then asked: "How is the progress?"

"It's okay!" Ai Bok paused the experiment he was doing, then turned around and said to Sha Duo, "It's just that I'm a little too busy on my own. What do you think about increasing the manpower I told you last time? Already?"

"Can't you just recruit people yourself? Do you have to have me come?"

"You know what I mean about adding more manpower!"

After Ai Burke replied, he turned around and went back to his own experiments. Sha Duo couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this. Of course he knew what Ai Burke meant by increasing manpower. He was not just recruiting new mages randomly. Instead, it requires a quasi-high-level mage who has undergone inheritance rituals.

There is a fixed process for selecting candidates for the inheritance ceremony, and the relevant people have already made arrangements. It can even be said that the personnel needs are first met before the selection of people to accept the inheritance ceremony is started, rather than the other way around.

It stands to reason that the research on the power of order is also worthy of a inheritance ceremony, but the problem is that people who want other projects have already queued for several inheritance ceremonies, so they can't jump in line.

Not to mention that the research on the Power of Order is not that urgent, and the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh. If you ask the Power of Order Laboratory to jump in line today, can you still refuse the request of other project teams to jump in line tomorrow?

In addition, the Tower of Time has now opened intermediate courses. Not everyone wants to take a shortcut and accept the inheritance ceremony. There are a lot of crooked melons and jujubes, but those people who recruit the Power of Order Laboratory can actually do it. How much value does it generate?

"You also know the schedule of the inheritance ceremony. You can choose the people in the fifth period as you like, or you can discuss it with Niya and ask her to give you part of the people in the fourth period. Anyway, the inheritance ceremony in the fourth period has not started yet. .”

Upon hearing this, Aibo suddenly turned around and said, "You are blocking me with Niya again. You also know that the fourth phase of inheritance has not started yet. Then when will the fifth phase of your promise be? You must be right." If you are serious about researching this power of order, you can tell Niya yourself."

"Okay, then I'll tell you!" Xia Duo thought about it for a moment and then agreed.

At this time, Aiboke felt a little embarrassed, "Do you really want to tell Niya? Then don't say it's me who wants it."

"Don't worry, I won't mention you, I just want someone, okay!"

After speaking, Xia Duo made another suggestion to Ai Burke, "Even if we squeeze in some people from the fourth phase of inheritance, it may not be enough. Some things that do not require high-level mages can be left to others.

"There are dozens of new mages in the Tower of Time every month. Not everyone wants to continue the middle school course. Later I will go to the mission office and send you a mission to recruit some assistants for you. This will also save you the need for experiment records. do it yourself."

It is the habit of all traditional mages to conduct their own experiments and records, or even take over the entire process by one person, but Xia Duo does not see it that way. When he was in the Red Heart Alliance, he was used to the different division of labor among laboratory personnel.

The person actually hosting the project doesn't even necessarily need to do it himself. The division of labor allows relevant personnel to focus on their own areas, rather than causing internal friction due to unclear responsibilities.

The Tower of Time currently does not have the conditions to provide complete staffing for the laboratory, but it is not difficult to provide Aibok with several experimental assistants.

However, when this matter was brought up before, Aiboke always refused habitually. This aspect was of course because Aiboke had studied the transformation of divine magic in the past, and it was not convenient for ordinary mages who did not perceive the holy power to intervene.

On the other hand, of course, is the inertia of traditional mages.

But now, Ai Boike has asked him for people, and he is still so insistent. Of course, Sha Duo will assign a few assistants to Ai Boke.

As for himself, because he can trace his memory at any time and has intelligent brain assistance, he does not need a conventional experimental assistant. In many cases, he does not make any records during experiments.

Afterwards, the experimental process will be unified and transcribed directly into the corresponding notes using spells. In fact, these physical records are not for himself, but are more prepared for the wizards of the Tower of Time.

...     After talking about recruiting people, Sha Duo asked about the key projects of the laboratory in the near future, "How is the virtual balance identification experiment going? I see the guards are having a lot of fun!"

"That means it went very smoothly! It's strange to say that there is no problem at all in finding real people to do the experiment, but there will be problems if we operate the virtual identity transfer ourselves. Do we have to do this in all future experiments?"

Regarding this issue, Sha Duo didn't think much of it at first, but now that Aiboike mentioned it again, he expressed his guess:

"Perhaps this is the essence of the power of order! Our experiments with virtual identities can actually be regarded as deviating from the order. As for the future, it is not a bad idea to conduct real social experiments."

The power of order comes from order, more specifically, from the real people who make up the order.

If it is research on order spells, it may be possible to complete it in the laboratory.

But if the currency mark involves a project that is the cornerstone of real order, I am afraid that real people will still need to cooperate with the experiment.

……

"Well, then I'll go over there and take a look. You can continue your work!"

After saying that, Sha Duo no longer disturbed Ai Burke, but came to a corner of the laboratory. Several soldiers saw it and wanted to get up again, but this time Sha Duo did not stop them.

After all, he can't squat on the ground and talk!

"Are you now able to use the balance function on your ID card proficiently?" Xia Duo asked.

Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, and finally a captain-looking man stood up and answered for everyone, "Lord, this balance function is very convenient. We have become very proficient after using it a few times!"

"Well, come and try to transfer money to me!"

As he said that, Xia Duo took out his ID card. Although it was strange for a lord to have his own ID card, he was not an ordinary lord. Of course, he recognized and abided by the order he established.

Xia Duo's ID card is also made of ironwood chips, but he has recently been considering changing the material of the ID card. The main reason why he chose to use ironwood to make the ID card was that the territory lacked more suitable materials. Material.

Now it seems to be somewhat outdated. On the one hand, the materials of iron and wood cannot be unified. After all, it is natural wood. There are always similarities and differences. Of course, the authenticity can be identified through the power of order mark, but the similarities and differences themselves are problems.

On the other hand, of course, the ironwood found in the territory is very limited. Even if the wood is called ironwood, it cannot actually be compared with steel. In the past, when there were hundreds of thousands of people in the territory, they didn't think it was anything.

Now that the total population of the territory has exceeded half a million (including Savile Territory), the consumption of ironwood by so many people is no longer what it used to be.

Ironwood has a long growth cycle, and even if it is spawned by magic, it is not easy to cultivate. Rather than investing too much cost in it, it is better to just change the material.

It can be standardized and supplemented more easily.

The material that Xia Duo is considering now is fine gold. Who can make this material inherently strong and not easily damaged, and it can be mass-produced!

In addition, the current ID card design is also a bit outdated. You can consider updating it when the balance function is launched!

The name of the second-generation ID card can give it a sense of history. (End of chapter)
