Arcane Lord

"Lord Chardonnay, as you know, all orders for the Talisman of Demon Slaughter are obtained from Prince Pasteur of Danzo. Not long ago, Prince Pasteur learned about the use I used to deliver the order. All the amulet of Demon Slaying came from the Tower of Time, from Lord Shaduo, so he made a request to me—"

Having said that, Charles Harlan paused deliberately and gave Xia Duo a tentative look. Xia Duo did not overreact to this, but urged lightly:

"What request? What does it have to do with me?"

Charles Harlan was an agitated spirit, and continued: "Prince Pasteur hopes to use me to obtain the key to the rapid production of the Demon Slayer Talisman from Lord Chardonnay!"

"The key to the rapid production of the Demon Slayer Talisman? Is the underground situation so bad?"

Chateau was stunned. Not long ago, he had just heard from Iolum that the situation under the ground after the opening of the second battlefield of Amarinda had stabilized, and the two sides were engaged in a tug-of-war and war of attrition.

Iolum wouldn't lie to him on this issue, so it can only be the exaggeration of Lord Haran.

However, strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as an exaggeration. Lord Haran represents the interests of Prince Pasteur to a certain extent, and Prince Pasteur undoubtedly hopes to end the war sooner than human beings.

For any thing that can play a positive role in the turning of the balance of war, Prince Pasteur will probably be very interested and try hard to obtain it.

"The underground situation is not very good. Drow's offensive is very fierce. The demand for Demon Slayer Talisman by underground soldiers is increasing day by day. If a large number of Demon Slayer Talisman can be obtained quickly, it may be able to play a decisive role in the battle!"

Charles Harlan said so, but Chateau secretly shook his head. If the war was determined by only one weapon and equipment, perhaps the Miser energy core might be, but it would definitely not be the talisman of the killing.

Inspired by the hatred of subjugation, even if there is no Demon Slayer Talisman, the dwarf may also burst out with a strong will\b resistance that is not inferior to the Demon Slayer Amulet itself.

This kind of thing can only be used as the icing on the cake, or even the existence of charcoal in the snow, but it will definitely not be the only decisive factor.

Perhaps the dwarf still hides the artifact at the bottom of the box, but it was not used because it was too expensive to use. No one can say this kind of thing at the last minute.

Of course, the real reason that made Xia Duo resist to Lord Haran was not because of this, but because of—

Once mass production, and even standardized mass production, are told to the dwarves, under the pressure of war, the dwarves who are not behind Netheril may quickly realize the industrialization of magic.

The dwarves are not without wizards, but their magic systems are different from those of Netheril and elves, or the holy hammer is actually their wizard.

Once the dwarves quickly realize the industrialization of magic, they may be able to show an overwhelming advantage in the war against the drow. In this process, will the elven countries remain indifferent?

Even if the transformation is not comprehensive, at least a few pilot cities will be established.

But this way, for Netheril who wants to develop, it is almost a disaster. In many cases, it does not mean that standing on the same starting line will definitely win.

Not to mention, Netheril was far from standing on the same starting line as the elven kingdoms.

At present, Netheril is able to maintain the great power in the North, to a large extent because there are more than a dozen on the bright side, as well as the unknown number of great arcane masters hidden in the seven towers, supporting the great power with individual strength. national power.

Once the industrialization of magic is achieved, in the foreseeable future, individual power will be quickly wiped out by weapons and equipment. At that time, it will no longer be the individual powerhouses such as how many great arcane masters or advanced mages a country has that determines the power of a great country. It is to master how many over-restricted weapons.

Xia Duo does not believe that Netheril is now ready to enter the industrial age, or even to compete in other industrial countries. Once the industrial revolution is started at an inappropriate time, the outcome may be better than Xia Duo knows. It's much worse.

Whether standardized mass production is the key to the industrial revolution, Xia Duo is hard to say with certainty, but he certainly wouldn't bet on how low the probability is that it must not be.

In fact, he himself believes that standardized mass production has a greater role in promoting the process of industrialization than the increase in productivity itself.

Productivity is indeed the foundation, but it is a qualitative change and is not easy to occur; while standardized mass production is a relatively easy process to achieve, which belongs to the category of liberating productivity.

Moreover, with a unified industrial standard, qualitative changes in productivity will also occur more easily.

Just like now, letting the dwarves hold their big moves to kill all the drows in a flash is probably not a big deal, but it is certainly not difficult for them to change the production method, liberate the productivity, and produce a large amount of war materials.

After being able to improve combat effectiveness in a short period of time, will it continue to integrate production, and even research and innovate? This is no need to think about it, it will definitely be possible.

Therefore, even if it is only a slight possibility, Xia Duo will not transfer the concept of standardized mass production to the dwarves, at least not yet.

However, it would be inappropriate to reject Lord Haran directly. After all, the opponent now represents Prince Pasteur, and to a certain extent represents the Kingdom of Danzo.

As an individual, it is obviously not a wise move for Xia Duo to directly confront a country.

"Lord Haran, the speed of the Tower of Time’s production of Demon Slayer Talisman is indeed faster than that of other mage towers, but that is completely because the Tower of Time is equipped with full-time production personnel for the production of Demon Slayer Talisman, and all production personnel are I dedicated all my personal time to those orders. If other mage towers can also do this, it is not difficult to achieve the same or even higher efficiency than the Tower of Time. UU看书www.uukanshu.com"

To a certain extent, Xia Duo is not a liar, he is indeed a full-time magician for the production line of Demon Tumulus.

As for personal time, it depends on how you define it.

The magic mechanics of the Tower of Time can also be regarded as full-time students and part-time mechanics. They just spend their spare time doing odd jobs to earn some living expenses, nothing more.

As for the production efficiency of other mage tower organizations, if there is a mage tower that can recruit a large number of full-time alchemists, it might be possible to do so.

It's just that the cost is a lot more expensive than the Tower of Time.

The production efficiency of the Tower of Time is far from that. At this stage, Xia Duo only uses the relatively backward manual production line to allow more people to have a stable job, so as to prevent them from doing nothing.

If you switch to a fully automatic assembly line, the efficiency will take off.

It's just that there is no need to talk to outsiders like Lord Haran.
