Chapter 215 Industrial Products

With the support of sufficient manpower and material resources, the alchemy factory located on the edge of the town was finally officially completed, and at the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the factory, Gawain also agreed to let Rebecca throw several large fireballs into the sky from a safe distance to help the fun, and the magical flames that exploded in the sky were both a celebration and a message to the people, and soon the people of this land would know that their survival was further guaranteed - there was no shortage of food, no shortage of clothing, no shortage of firewood for heating, and now, they will also be short of medicine.

Most people don't understand the mechanics of the new "Alchemy Factory", or how the metal pipes and jars brought into the Factory have anything to do with the magical art of alchemy, but the notice posted on the town's central square makes it clear that with this new facility, there will be no shortage of all the healing potions and druid potions needed for farming throughout the territory, and the new alchemy shops on Trade Street will sell cheap potions of all kinds, which are so low that even the poorest can afford themThis is undoubtedly very exciting news for everyone.

And in the workshop of the alchemy factory, Gao Wen was inspecting the first batch of rejuvenation potions produced.

The potions were packed in finger-sized faux crystal bottles, neatly stacked in wooden boxes with many lattices, and filled with fluffy wood chips around the vials to prevent collision damage during transportation, and according to Gawain's requirements, the alchemical potions were neatly packaged with matching "labels" - each crystal bottle had a small note with the name of the potion, its effect, the date of manufacture, and the date of expiration, and the emblem of Cecil's collar on it.

This unified label is particularly novel in the eyes of many people, especially the "expiration date" mark on it is even more fresh, because the traditional alchemy potions actually rarely consider the problem of "expiration date" - alchemy potions are handmade by extraordinary professionals, the output is very limited, and they are always in short supply, and their users are usually large and small nobles or transcendents who need to go to the battlefield, and the former naturally has their own cronies or magic advisors who are responsible for managing the potions in the treasure house. They don't have to think about the expiration issue, and the potions in the hands of the latter often don't stay until they expire, so those traditional alchemists will at most put a name on the bottle after concocting the potion, and the expiration date is ...... It's up to the "users" to care about themselves.

But of course, the products produced by the factory could not be like this, and Gawain had to instill the people in the territory with a standardized idea from the beginning.

Now that everything is in its infancy, the content on this label is of course very simple, but even so, the neat label and pleasing packaging of the mass-produced potion still left a deep impression on the people present, Rebecca opened her eyes and looked at the potions neatly stacked on the table, and couldn't help but scratch her hair: "It's strange...... Looking at these bottles neatly arranged together gives me an inexplicable pleasure......"

"You're called obsessive-compulsive disorder satisfied," Amber explained, who was standing on the side, with a very understanding look, and then pointed at Gawain, "I didn't say you were sick, these words were said by your ancestors." ”

"It's the first time I've seen a precious alchemy potion in this way...... Stacked on top of each other," said Hetty, with some emotion, "it suddenly felt like they weren't worth much." ”

"Actually, compared to ordinary alchemy potions, they are indeed 'worthless', ma'am," Pitman said proudly as he stood beside the table, "Originally, the biggest cost of alchemy potions was the caster, but now the reaction tank and its matching magic device have taken the place of the caster, and the amount of potion that this big guy can produce in one operation is not comparable to a few flasks and test tubes on a small alchemy table, in fact, the most valuable part of these potions in front of you is not the liquid in it at all, It's something you probably can't even think of. ”

"The most valuable part?" Rebecca blinked, "The potion itself isn't worth much, so what's worth it?" ”

"Bottles," Pitman spread his hands, "the cost of these crystal bottles is even higher than the potion inside, and if a bottle of potion sells for thirty copper coins, there are at least fifteen copper coins in it that are actually buying bottles." ”

Amber was taken aback: "The bottle is so expensive?!" ”

"The bottle hasn't become more expensive, it's just that the production cost of the potion is too low," Rebecca had already reacted, she looked at Gawain thoughtfully, "Ancestor, I remember that you mentioned before that there is an artificial crystal called 'glass' that will be cheaper than all the artificial crystals now......"

Gawain coughed lightly twice in embarrassment: "Ahem, glass...... Don't think about it yet, I haven't found a replacement raw material for production yet. ”

It is said that the three treasures of the traverser, paper-making glass and black powder, but Gao Wen didn't catch any of these three things - this world already has papermaking, although there is some room for improvement, but it is already a mature technology, and it is not his turn to "invent" again, and black powder is a project that failed in the early stage of territory construction, and as for the glass......

According to Gao Wen's judgment, the most common "white crystal" in artificial crystal is actually the "glass" that can be realized in this world, and the main materials of this artificial crystal are quartz sand and colorless crystal rock, and these two things are ...... It's all magic material.

Quartz sand is the cheapest of the magic materials, but the colorless crystal rock ...... While it's not expensive, it's definitely more expensive than sand, and until a replacement is found, crystal rock is the highest cost in the process of making artificial crystal.

"Actually, it's okay, the smaller the size of the artificial crystal vessel, the easier it is to make, and the bottle of the alchemy potion is the cheapest crystal bottle, which is already very cheap," Pittman explained, "Our alchemy potion already has an unimaginable advantage in cost, and the bottle is a little more expensive...... Not much impact. ”

Hetty nodded: "That makes sense, too." I'm a little worried, though, about the alchemy potions made from these metal jars and magic circles...... Can it really be as good as a potion made by a druid or an alchemist or mage? ”

"You don't have to worry about that," Pitman laughed proudly when he heard this, "In fact, in my opinion, the potions produced in the alchemy factory are much more reliable than the potions made on the alchemy tableβ€”these reaction tanks and magic arrays are precisely modulated, as long as the initial setup is fine, the raw materials are fine, and the reaction vessel itself is not faulty, then whether they produce one bottle or ten thousand bottles of potions, they can guarantee that each bottle of potion is exactly the same, However, traditional alchemists have high and low skills, and even the most skilled alchemists have made mistakes, and many of the so-called toxic side effects of alchemical potions actually come from this - I don't rule out that excellent alchemists will prepare potions that are more effective than factory potions when the conditions are right, but can you imagine how many defective products will flow out of their colleagues' workshops while they are making a good potion? And how many potions can our factory produce in this process? ”

Pittman's face was so red that he even blew his beard up, and Amber couldn't help but mutter, "Bang Bang Bang...... An old and unserious guy has been talking more and more like an old zongzi lately......"

Suddenly, all the deaf people at the scene looked at her, and several voices said in unison: "What are you talking about?" ”

Amber's pointed ears tensed suddenly, and the whole person rushed out two or three meters: "In the end, you are elves or I am elves!" Why are all ears so smart! ”

"I'm staring at your mouth, as soon as you open your mouth, I'll sift the sand out as soon as you open your mouth," Gawain glared at the half-elf who was running away with a mouth, and then looked at Hetty, "These potions give priority to the internal supply and marketing of the territory, and the army will also distribute the potions to each soldier to ensure that each soldier has three copies of the rejuvenation potion and three copies of the reserve of the disease dispelling mixture under any circumstances, you can count it, and then keep an additional fifty percent of the medicine reserve after meeting these requirements, and the rest are packaged, The first signature merchandise that Cecil received was them. ”

Hetty sighed from the bottom of his heart: "With this alone, the combat corps led by Cecil is probably already the most extravagant army in the world. ”

Gawain smiled, "From the time we sent the enchanted equipment to everyone, they already were. ”

At this moment, the door of the workshop was suddenly opened, and an apprentice walked in quickly, he came to Gawain and the others and saluted respectfully, and reported: "My lords, the carriage from Kant has crossed the bridge. ”

"It seems that Mr. Padraic has arrived," Gawain turned and patted the box of alchemical potions, "Pack up this batch of samples and send them to the lord's mansion, and I will have a good talk with the gentleman who has been praised by Knight Philip in person." ”

And when Cecil's alchemical potion trade route kicked off on this historic day, a special gathering was taking place in a hidden temple in the Typhon Empire.

In the center of the circular main hall was a circle of chairs, some of which squirmed in the darkness as if they were living creatures, and a large number of nerve cords extended from the holes in the floor and walls to connect with the biological parts of the seats.

A dozen people dressed in white or black robes stood around the seats, their faces wearing sleek, eerie masks that made it impossible to tell the identity of each of them from their faces, nor to see any changes in their expressions.

One of the white-robed men stood up and looked around, and a low, incompatible, male and female voice came from under the mask: "Very good, everyone has arrived, then 22, you will preside over this ceremony." ”

The white-robed man and the black-robed man each took their seats in front of their seats, while one of the black-robed men raised their hands: "Then, begin the seventeenth 'Deep Dive Test' to try and decipher the fragments of memories that Gawain Cecil has escaped." Nightmare Bishops, signal to your 'swarm', and in a minute, the connection begins.

"Everyone, safety first."
