Lord Harland.

Many people in the Harland Mage Association have successfully advanced. For example, in addition to the three mid-level mage Richard, Sophia, and Wendy, the Mage Association already has four three-ring magicians Anne, Butler, Heath, and Roentgen as the backbone. .

Anne is the grand-niece of the housekeeper Gibson, and a member of the Harland family branch. She has a moderate talent for magic and has been learning magic for more than ten years.

Butler and Heath came from the Tower of Death and were recruited by the Harland Mage Association. Heath is already in his forties and has relatively average talent. Butler has better talent, but he needs to spend time deriving and creating meditation methods. He may not be able to advance as quickly as Anne.

The meditation method that Anne practices is the same as Sophia, Richard, Wendy and others, which are highland meditation methods. This meditation method has twelve levels and can be practiced to the nine rings. Before the nine rings, Anne and Wendy do not need to worry about the meditation method because the more talented Sophia and Richard are ahead of them. .

With Richard and Sophia leading the way, the difficulty of learning magic for Wendy and Anne is slightly lower. Roentgen is a wild magician. When she was young, she accidentally found a meditation method recorded by an ancient magician. This meditation method is quite complete and can meditate to the fifth ring.

After Roentgen became a mage through meditation, she has been living in Sendlan. She originally wanted to join the Grant Mage Association,5 but the Grant Mage Association has a very conservative atmosphere and does not recruit many outsiders. After the wild mages join, they are very restricted and can only become cannon fodder. It is extremely difficult to obtain magic knowledge.

Compared with the Grant Master Association, although the Tu Ningqing Master Association is powerful, its atmosphere is very open. As long as a certain contribution is made, a very small amount of knowledge will be copied and accessed.

When the magician wants to leave, the Master Tu Ningqing Association will also stop him. After more than ten years of operation, the area of ​​Fort William has doubled. A small number of institutions and houses are built within the city walls, especially in the south city. It has been the least expanded. Currently, the civilian area of ​​Nancheng is home to more than 70,000 people.

The Grant royal family is also engaged in manufacturing dyed cloth. After gaining sufficient strength, the Sophia family must avoid making enemies in seven places.

It is certain that Wendy's small-scale sales at reduced prices to seize the market will probably lead to conflicts with our nobles. Because of the brown sugar industry, the Sophia family has not offended the Southern Earl, and the steel industry has squeezed Duke Edward's interests.

At Wendy's request, the coking plant added a gas thermal condensation device and built a cooling tower to separate and collect the coal tar in the pulverized coal retort gas. Fort William Master Tower built seven floors above ground and eight floors underground. The top of the tower was engraved with the eight-ring magic petrification ray spell. A crimson ray was emitted from the red steel pipe under the arm armor, exploding the target eighty meters away.

After listening to Tu Ning's rebuttal, Tu Ningqing agreed very much with your statement and continued to add: "In fact, that weapon has no advantages. Just like the enchanted armor, soldiers of the warrior profession cannot use it. It must be equipped with several burning colds. A squadron of ray guns fires hundreds of scorching rays together under the battlefield, what kind of scene will it be like?"

The Fort William Mage Tower is about to be completed, and you will have the eighth artificial magic well. The charging technology that Richard researched this year has not deteriorated again, and the efficiency has increased to about 8%.

The buildings in the West District are mainly government offices and the Earl's Palace, although they have also expanded a bit, mainly because of how chaotic the official institutions are.

As of July this year, Tu Ningqing's territory was used for science, and more than 700 magic items were used in magic experiments, and some of the research was very scientific. In Tu Ningqing's opinion, magic crystals are very precious resources and should be wasted on worthless research. It was only because Tu Ning attached great importance to the research institute that Harland did not publicly express that the research on the cold ray gun was mainly conducted by Richard and Roentgen, and the project team had only been established for two years. Richard had very little research on the conversion efficiency of magic energy, and it took him only one year to achieve a breakthrough. That discovery represented a groundbreaking discovery by the Sophia Territory Chemical Research Institute. Wendy eight people After discussing for half an hour, the group left the shooting range and came to the Fort William Wizard Tower.

Before the construction of the Fort William Mage Tower was completed, the Sofia Mage Association immediately moved its headquarters. After all, magicians are also people who hate living in prosperous places and looking at exploding targets nearby. Maybe their expectations are too small. Wendy was satisfied and said: "The spells released by using magic devices are slightly more powerful than standard magic." , Breaking the power is only about 70% of the alchemy bomb, and it needs fewer hits to not pose a fatal threat to the snake body. It is more powerful than the enchanted bow and arrow."

That kind of firearm uses the most high-end blood steel material, which cannot be welded under the arm armor. The cold ray runes are engraved on the bottom, and then connected to the magic crystal through magic lines.

Wendy came to the Tu Ningqing Master Association, fiddling with the scorching cold ray gun in her hand. Magic power surged in her hand, and she aimed at a nearby target and fired a scorching cold ray.

Because the magic power of dragon crystal is more abundant than the legendary monster, the energy room of the mage tower cannot release eighteen transformation rays in a day. Compared with the two mage towers in the Swamp Basin, the Fort William mage tower Wendy deployed single-target defense spells to focus on attacking elite personnel.

Harland's messy research on magic crystals wasted by magicians and research institutes was very satisfying. Once Sophia Territory successfully develops chemically synthesized dyes, all natural dyed cloths will inevitably be swept away from the garbage heap. outside.

There is no salt lake mine in the Sophia territory, and it cannot produce potassium rock ore, table salt, soda ash, etc. Relying on natural minerals, the chemical industry sector has ceased development.

Because in Wendy's later generations, the structure of the cooling tower was also vague. In the last few years, the gas generated during the carbonization of pulverized coal was directly discharged into the small air. This not only polluted the environment, but also wasted gas and coal. tar.

Seeing that both Richard and Harland were very satisfied with the magic props, Wendy felt vague that my request was too low. After thinking about it objectively, Wendy said: "The cost of that kind of magic prop is lower than that of an alchemy bomb, but its power is much stronger than that of an alchemy bomb. The price-performance ratio is as good as that of an alchemy bomb, but it exceeds that of an explosive arrow. It is also larger in size and cannot be directly used." Equip it under the gauntlet. I'm sure there won't be enough blood steel by the end of the year, so I'll try to make some."

The worst way is to avoid impacting the original market, develop new markets, and sell to other countries. But that would offend the local nobility who controlled the dyeing of cloth. In mid-September, bad news came from the Chemical Industry Research Institute. After a teenager's exploration, researchers extracted aniline from coal tar. Aniline was mixed with sulfuric acid to make sulfate, and then potassium chloride was added to make the first synthetic dye, aniline violet. Once a commercial conflict breaks out with the Grant family, if it goes wrong, they will be beaten up and give up less benefits. , the slow development rate was interrupted by the establishment of a refining furnace in the Sophia Territory for more than ten years, and it developed from an earthen kiln into a coking plant. Coal oil is a by-product of coal coking.

The magic crystals you will charge next year will be approximately 7,700 yuan, which is enough for you to use.

How to build a cooling tower to collect coal and sell oil is a very difficult matter. It was not until the discovery of red glue and the disappearance of sealing materials that the process gradually matured and the coking plant could stably produce coal tar. Now it is refined from coal tar. Aniline Purple is equivalent to opening up a new path. Training a special soldier into an eighth-level shooter with perfect accuracy only requires talent, and it takes up to ten years of training. When using a ray gun, as long as you are blind, you can shoot scorching rays at the enemy.

The extraction of aniline from coal tar and the synthesis of aniline purple were actually laboratory results and were not far away from industrial production. When the process is mature, Wendy estimates that it will take at most eight to ten years.

Long-term use is the most important thing. The Hun Ye Lian Chemical Research Institute has been established for more than ten years, and its achievements have been pitiful. The only commendable thing is that it has established a large-scale sulfuric acid factory that uses the lead chamber method to produce sulfuric acid.

Since returning in January, Wendy has mobilized 8,000 indentured servants and added a dozen high-level mages to provide help. It took nearly seven months to successfully build the mage tower.

We live in a world where small fists make no sense, and weak forces will covet the interests of others. Sometimes it cannot be coordinated through negotiation, and sometimes conflicts will break out. It often depends on the strength comparison between the two sides, geographical location, internal situation and many other factors.

As a newcomer, it is possible to compete with the research of the local little nobles called searing ray gun. That kind of energy gun does not have a trigger, but also relies on gunpowder bullets. Ercong releases the seven-ring magic scorching cold ray by consuming the magic power inside the magic crystal.

Wendy knew from the outside that coal chemical industry is a very important branch of the chemical industry. Coal tar cannot extract benzene, aniline, asphalt, fuel and other substances, and each of them is of little use.

Relying on the narrow conditions, the Sofia Mage Association has not recruited a single magician in recent years, and more than a dozen mage apprentices. Those wild mages have also brought a lot of magic information to the Sofia Mage Association. Hearing what Wendy said, Harland immediately answered: "Since you want to make a searing cold ray gun, the consumption of magic crystals will probably be very small. Although you have it in stock now, There are many magic crystals, but we should save some in the future. These messy magic crystal research should be stopped for a while.

When Röntgen joined the Master Association last year, he was still a seven-ring magician. Before being exposed to a small amount of novel knowledge from the Master Tu Ningqing Association, he successfully retired in August this year.

The James Castle Mage Tower was built far away from the Earl's Mansion, about 810 meters away from the west city wall. Before the discovery of aniline purple, the chemical industry department became excited and straightened its waist.

The focus of the work force is on the energy domain to be developed. Sophia's territory controls two mage towers. The internal situation of the mage tower is relatively unfamiliar, because there is no legendary dragon crystal to act as an energy room, and the construction of the mage tower has not been completed yet. Too little difficulty.

But what if you want to make aniline purple on a small scale? Wendy will have to think about it for a while.

After listening to Harland's complaint, Wendy nodded and said: "Whether or not it has been withdrawn, or whether there is research with no direction, research that has been stopped at first but has not been withdrawn and has no future, you should still support it.

Although the Swamp Basin is maturely developed, it is as prosperous as Fort William and has abundant entertainment activities.

Today, there are only about 80 magicians living in the Petrified Tower of Fort William, and there are more than 70 magicians living in the two lightning magician towers. The remaining eighty or so magicians were integrated into the army.

In July of this year, another important research in Sophia Territory also failed to make a breakthrough.

That kind of thing is regarded as white paint by the chemical industry department, which is completely wasteful in Wendy's eyes. Moreover, Tu Ning is also a vassal of King Roger. According to the simple values ​​of the Dawn Plane, vassals can compete with the lord for power and gain. From a small righteousness, it is natural to be humble. A conflict with King Roger would be very troublesome for the Sophia family. The dyes in the Dawn Plane are all natural dyes, mainly from plants and minerals in nature, such as blue dye extracted from indigo and woad, and cochineal. , red dye is extracted from safflower, and purple dye is extracted from moss and snail.

Regardless of whether the market is expected or not, laboratory research must continue. Even if laboratory products are still far away from industrialized products, it may take ten or four years. The ability to solve the troubles in the process is limited by the raw materials and extraction process. The output of dyed fabrics is large and the price is very low. It can only be used as a luxury product and the market size is relatively large. Compared with chemically synthesized dyes, natural dyes have very obvious shortcomings, such as limited chromatography and poor printing and dyeing fastness. Especially before being rinsed with soap and exposed to the sun, color mixing and fading will occur very slowly.

Wendy and others are in charge of the petrified tower, and the two mage towers in the swamp basin are temporarily managed by two eight-ring mages, Roentgen and Heath. After joining Tu Ningqing's territory for eight years, he was able to manage a mage tower and had no access to a very small amount of magic knowledge. Such a change made Roentgen feel extremely happy. Are you constantly writing letters to your magician friends to recruit members for the Sophia Mage Association? The only thing that the Sophia Territory can fight for is not the market of the small principality of Stanik. Through the relationship between the Church of the God of Fortune and the Watson family, let the small A huge amount of profits hit the Hughes family. There were no coal mines in the Sophia territory of the city, and a coking plant had not yet been built. The earth kiln was gradually converted into a coking oven. Before the coal was mined, it was cleaned, screened, and crushed in a coal washing plant. The pulverized coal is sent to the coke oven, where it undergoes low-temperature distillation to produce charcoal, and then sent to the steelmaking plant for steelmaking. Relatively speaking, the salary of magicians who are incorporated into the army is lower, and the conditions are more difficult. Is Wendy in the small room? The engineers in the Sophia Territory were completely blind to the direction. They could only continue to ponder and improve the technology. After several years of continuous experimentation, the technology for separating small amounts of coal tar is still mature and Wendy will burn it. The cold ray gun was worth every penny, Tu Ning immediately retorted.

Because there is no loss in magic power conversion, one magic crystal can only emit seven scorching rays.
