Lord of Arcane

At this moment, some were excited, and some were calm. The one-month elf mage asked without hesitation: "Consultant Xia Duo, when can we use a formal and complete public computing power pool? The complete computing power pool Will the bonus effect be stronger?”

This question is a good one!

The elf mage of this month who asked the question was standing next to the representative of Ye Erlan. Xia Duo looked a little strange. At this moment, he was too lazy to search his memory, but to appear here, he should have followed the representatives from various countries after receiving the news.

If he was an acquaintance, he would even suspect that the other party was deliberately acting as a bastard.

"When will the complete computing power pool be used? This question does not depend on me, but on the countries in the alliance. I have done everything I can do in the alliance. On the other side of the countries, when will the sub-networks be able to access Mainnet, when will everyone be able to use the complete computing power pool. As for the bonus effect of the computing power pool——"

When talking about this point, Xia Duo paused deliberately and his expression became serious to show that he was not joking——

“At present, everyone has experienced that the bonus of the computing power pool is already the peak that can be achieved under the current technical level, and it is not the normal state after the official operation of the computing power pool.

"The computing power pool cannot support all accessors to obtain such a bonus effect at the same time, so you know - on top of the regular bonus status, additional payments are required to subsidize all accessors.

"Of course, if there is a technological breakthrough in the future, the bonus effect may also be improved, and the relevant tariffs may also be adjusted. What you need to do now -

“I think we should seize the time to urge all countries to complete the construction of computing power pools and network as soon as possible, so that this system can operate as soon as possible.”

After Xia Duo finished speaking, most of the representatives from various countries frowned subconsciously. On the one hand, there was indeed pressure to complete the construction of the computing power pool network in advance, but on the other hand, after experiencing the effect of the computing power pool, they also wanted to Make this state permanent as soon as possible.

As for the risks of use, no one is discussing them now. Xia Duo initially gave two sets of avoidance plans, one of which can be enjoyed by all access users. It uses network architecture and gateway design to avoid various possibilities. risks encountered.

As for the advanced plan, although the cost is higher and not everyone uses it all the time, for those who are elite mages and above, it is not difficult to shell out the cost.

The main group in the Northland countries discussing public computing power pools is elite mages and above, or in other words, only they are qualified to decide whether to build this computing power pool.

As long as there are enough supporters, even if there are a large number of opponents, it will not affect the computing power pool's unanimous support from the top leaders of various countries. After all, those who oppose it can just stop using it. The supporters will use it anyway.

In the gateway control hall at this moment, there is almost no spellcaster below the elite level. At the same time, they can pay attention and come here immediately. They obviously support the computing power pool.

After hearing Xia Duo's urging, some elves hesitated, but they were more thinking about how to achieve the goal of Xia Duo's urging, rather than making excuses to shirk.

However, Xia Duo casually urged him. Anyway, the current computing power pool with only the main network and Akaola sub-network is enough for him to use (with the max bonus).

If other people want to use it this way, then hurry up and build the Kokubu Internet Cafe where you are!

"By the way, one more thing! Representatives from various countries happen to be here, so I will say here that regarding future issues such as computing power pool charges and subsidies, we also ask all countries to send professionals as soon as possible to assist the research center in calculations."

Because the standards are consistent and the same for any country, such calculations are more about allowing each country to obtain the maximum benefit - that is, the subsidy fee - without losing money to the alliance.

The subsidy fee is actually related to the number and quality of users in each country. If countries want to get more pumps, they can only find ways to encourage mages to use the computing power pool domestically.

Therefore, in terms of fee calculation, Xia Duo has made a big concession. As long as the Lingsi Network Research Center can operate normally and have stable research funds, the remaining money will be given to all your countries!

The most worth entangled thing among them is research funding, but this has long been the case in the North. Generally speaking, to support magic research, at least provide research funding consistent with the researcher's salary. For example, if a research institution has only one researcher and his salary is 1000 gold coins per month, then the corresponding research funding must be at least 1000 gold coins per month.

Of course, funds may not be directly released in the form of gold coins, but can be provided in various ways such as materials, facilities, equipment, manpower, and information.

In addition, research funds do not have to be released on a monthly basis, but can also be released on an annual or even longer basis. At the same time, fund providers can also require review of the use of funds and the results obtained after using these funds.

In general, Xia Duo is not worried about the research funding of Lingsi Network Research Center. Anyway, there are minimum standards. At worst, you can get subsistence allowance. Once there are results, you can ask for more funding and salary increase.

As for the other costs of the research center, they can generally be expected, with the bulk being nothing more than equipment updates, staff salaries, etc.

Although the final financial management authority of the research center will most likely not fall into Xia Duo's hands, he is actually not worried at all. As long as things are done according to the rules, he still has the final say in this research center.

……

Representatives from various countries did not express their opinions on the matter of accelerating the construction of separate networks for computing power pools, but they were still very active in sending professional financial personnel to assist the research center in calculating future tariff standards.

Because after these financial personnel come, there is a high probability that they will not leave. Of course, Xia Duo still has considerable decision-making power in terms of specific personnel appointments.

Who you want to keep may depend on the financial staff's own wishes; but whoever you want to leave, no one can keep.

In the afternoon of that day, a total of nineteen financial personnel from the fourteen countries in the North arrived at the Lingsi Network Research Center. Of course, nearly half of the nineteen were make-up. The real decision-makers were the ten from the five major countries and Avery. One of the ska.

Most of the rest come to provide data on users in the country where they are located. For example, how many are the first batch of people to connect to the network now, what is the maximum expected number in the future, and how much daily activity can be achieved after stabilization.

These data are closely related to the revenue of the computing power pool, and more closely related to the income that various countries will gain from this in the future.

Therefore, after these nineteen cross-racial financial teams composed of elves, humans, and dwarves arrived, they only met Sha Duo once and immediately got to work.

Regarding the tariff standards, Xia Duo did not provide specific figures, but he made a requirement that the subsidy fee for regular users of the computing power pool should be higher than the usage fee.

In other words, he hopes that most access users can use the computing power pool for free and obtain a basic bonus effect.

Profit mainly comes from the additional bonus effect, so these financial personnel must consider the proportion and willingness of additional payment when calculating.

Whether it is a small profit or maximizing profits is entirely decided by these financial personnel (from each country).

Xia Duo is actually looking forward to what kind of plan these financial teams can come up with in the end. (End of chapter)
