"How much does the official model cost?" Xia Duo asked.

"In terms of materials alone, it is similar to the magic stove, but the labor cost is more expensive. The total cost is about 220 gold coins. If it is mass-produced, it can be reduced to less than 200."

The cost of the magic stove is also about 200 gold coins. Today’s heaters are similar to it. It can be seen that Jie Yin’s intentions are more or less obvious. At least Xia Duo sees it for himself. The iron shell outside is enough to separate the magic stove from the magic stove. up.

Not to mention that it is more complicated to manufacture. Although the labor cost of the Tower of Time is no higher than that of other places, it is not completely free. As long as there is one, it is difficult to ignore it.

Jie Yin's ability to control the mass production cost so well is enough to prove that he attaches great importance to and loves the career of the Magic Affairs Officer, and of course his outstanding talent is also indispensable.

"Very good! I will continue to work hard to design more magic tools for the public! In addition, the general household magic tools will be limited to 200 gold coins in the future, and the cost is too high, so don't consider it for now!"

Xia Duo gave his praise and encouragement without hesitation, but here he also put forward a new request. The limit of 200 gold coins is a suitable choice for the current territory.

Although the people in the land will get a lot of money for granting land, the cost in Daxia is higher than in other places as long as they don't want to live a life of meager food.

Of course, as long as you are willing to work, your income is higher than other places.

The reason for doing this is mainly to balance the prices of magic items and general commodities. After all, those magic items need to be sold in the territory, and the prices need to be unified.

Since there is no cotton in Netheril and even the whole Northland, I never thought about the spinning machine-in fact, there are no spinning machines in the local area, but it is far from being called a spinning machine.

Xia Shao is too skeptical to say that Jie Yin improved the textile machine, but if it is said that it was improved by the magic officer of the steam engine group, there is some doubt.

For example, it's hard to imagine opening a portal with steam power.

"How did he think of that?" Xia Shao asked curiously.

Next, Young Master Xia visited some prototypes of civilian magic equipment in Jie Yin's laboratory, some of which were not reminded by me later, but also some of which were not reminded by me.

Although that system is still very strong and relies heavily on official subsidies and guidance, as long as it can continue, it will gradually mature.

There are so many excellent craftsmen in the territory gathered here, it's time to come up with something new!

…

But if the price and income level are still the same as before, how can the people afford expensive magic items, it will always allow the people to take advantage of their own people.

However, Shiro, the original inventor of the steam engine, is still trying to improve the steam engine, but it is enough without me, and it is necessary for others to get involved.

For farmers, it is even less, and the value of agricultural output is extremely high compared to the rapidly expanding magic industry. There must be other ways, so that farmers will never buy magic items that are constantly updated , even cheaper civilian models.

"That's actually the inspiration you got from the steam engine, but you think that the textile machine can't be powered by steam engines, and it can't be powered by magic."

That made me feel a little bit surprised, but also very strange.

At this time, with the blessing of the inner double cycle, the development of Xiaoxia Ling will go to the next level.

Raising prices and income levels here is also not conducive to Xia Shao’s more efficient transfer of wealth to the private sector. Although some people will save money, as long as no one uses it, it can also create a scale comparable to The economic circulation system of a few prosperous territories in the Mainland.

Surely we can find a way to stably convert magical power into mechanical power. In fact, the steam engine cannot be eliminated directly. Of course, in that case, engineering still exists.

At present, magical power sources such as Mythra can be directly converted into mechanical energy of invisible matter, and different energy conversion mechanisms need to be designed according to the same usage scenarios.

The looms outside Jie Yin and the Janes I have seen in the territory since then

The Yispin tool is exactly the same, and it seems to be specially designed on the basis of another new way of thinking.

Maybe it can't be weakened by magic, but why bother? Just walk on the ready-made Kangzhuang trail, but do you have to take the flat and narrow road?

The bad thing is that the magic officers of the steam engine group are all hesitant magic scholars. We devote less energy to engineering research, but to the steam engine itself.

The steam engine team is also Xiao Xialing's magic affairs officer, but it is composed of a small number of people, and has also recruited a group of skilled craftsmen to make various civilian utensils that match the steam engine.

My minimum expectation for the steam engine is not to hope that the magic officers will open up a new field of engineering, but to smash the steam engine itself. After all, no matter how inefficient the steam engine is, there is always no limit to the output, which is better than any Miser. pull.

Yes, the magic loom that Jie Yin built was also meaningless. On the contrary, Jie Yin also opened up a whole new field!

In the past, let alone 200 gold coins, even if there were only 20 gold coins, a small part would make people grit their teeth to get it out. After all, 20 gold coins was half a month's wages for a special craftsman.

Or more incorrectly, a modified magic-powered loom—a prototype!

The most important thing is that the power of the steam engine is the interaction force between invisible substances, and it is difficult to adapt to the wider magic field in the background.

Another example is the war spell [Light of Annihilation], which also converts the energy output by Mythra into spells, making the entropy value of matter constantly increase, so that even the original elemental state cannot be maintained, turning it into nothingness, or related to mechanical energy.

It cannot become an important branch of generalized magic, but it will never become the mainstream. It is similar to the difference between mechanical engineering and physics under the earth~

What Jie Yin’s magic loom embodies makes me explore and try in that respect~www.readwn.com~Xia Shao does not like that kind of magic loom, but he really appreciates the idea of ​​power transformation in it. Like the flying spell, but the energy output by Mythra is converted into a floating spell, which reconstructs the force and inertia of matter, and is related to mechanical energy.

The process of generating and transmitting steam power involves almost any magical element in a narrow sense, and it is destined that it will never become the mainstream in a magical country.

For example, the magic spinning machine!

In this regard, Jie Yin’s explanation is—

When Jie Yin said that, Shao Xia suddenly realized, but in the past, my view of the steam engine was less of a toy. Although it had no certain value, it was always about traveling the sky and exploring the plane with the steam engine, right?

As long as it involves the interaction force between invisible substances, it belongs to the category of mechanical energy, and the steam engine is not the most typical example.

But human beings live in that world, the first thing to grasp is not mechanical energy, the least contacted is also mechanical energy, and the least used is also mechanical energy. Of course, mages are excluded.
