Chapter 45: The Olympics Are Approaching, Lottery Tickets Issued! (2-in-1, ask for subscription!! )
At the urging of Mavi, the Ministry of Magic, established by the Royal Academy of Sciences of Mosk, conducted an in-depth analysis of teleportation magic in conjunction with the "Magic Analysis Volume" left by Mikhail Belinsky.
The Ministry of Magic was established a year ago to study the principles of the composition of the magic circle, and the ancient books left behind when the Apocalypse Church collapsed are enough to prove that magic can be explained in another way, the biggest difference between metaphysics and science is that metaphysics only knows how to use it and does not know its principles, while science studies its principles and uses them perfectly.
Whether it is physics or mathematics, it is to explore the laws of metaphysics and turn them into truth.
Over the past year, the Ministry of Magic has dissected all of the ancient magical texts left behind by the Church of the Apocalypse, reclassifying them according to their use, but still retaining the original sequence system to discern the difference in power and difficulty in building.
Teleportation magic is classified under the spatial magic catalog, along with the heart of the jungle, mud shadow and other magic that can conceal the breath and move, the difference is that the heart of the jungle and teleportation magic belong to the directional movement category under the spatial magic catalog, while the magic that conceals the breath like mud shadow is classified as invisible.
With the model of the parchment scroll, the Ministry of Magic only took half a month to produce the prototype of the teleportation magic array, and the teleportation magic invented by Anatole is similar to the heart of the jungle, and it is necessary to set an anchor point in advance to teleport.
According to Minister Georg, the teleportation magic array is divided into two sides, AB, each side has the effect of receiving and transporting, when the A magic array is running in the forward direction, the B magic array will run in the opposite direction, teleporting people or things.
After Anatoer's improvement, the advantage is obvious, the teleportation distance is linked to mana, and the more mana entered, the farther the teleportation distance will be, breaking the distance limit in the heart of the jungle.
It is an advantage to be able to teleport over a long distance, but only A-B, B-A directional teleportation mode is a disadvantage, the teleportation magic array is a complete set, and the A side magic array can only teleport people to B magic array or receive people teleported from B magic array, and cannot teleport people to C, D and other magic arrays.
On the other hand, the heart of the jungle has no restrictions on directional teleportation, although the teleportation distance is short, but theoretically you can go wherever you want, as long as you are lucky, there will generally be no problem.
Mosk is 2,500 kilometers from London, and it has been tested that it takes all of a priest's mana to teleport an adult man weighing 80 kilograms, and if Unia gives a priest 1 gold per day, then the mana equivalent consumed is 1 gold.
Even if you are a bishop, the total amount of mana you get per day is only 10 gold.
Of course, if the priest needs to replenish mana, he only needs to ask Yunia, and Yunia will continue to send down gifts, and the mana recovery time is based on the distance between the needer and Yunia, such as Goncharov on the other side of the ocean, even if he asks for Yunia, it will take a day to get the mana replenishment.
If Yunia is in London, it only takes a few minutes for Father London's magic to recover.
Teleporting an adult man weighing 60 kg requires 1 gold of mana, and a child weighing 30 kg only needs 0.5 gold, and the mana consumed by teleporting is related to weight and volume
As long as it doesn't exceed the coverage area of the magic array, the volume is not a problem.
Soon, the first London-Mosk teleportation magic circle was established, just stand up, enter mana in the magic array, and when the mana reaches a critical point, the teleportation will be initiated, and if the mana is not enough, the teleportation will fail.
After testing it with a stone a few times, and then having Edward be the first teleportation experiment, as the lord of the Bloodline, if you want to kill Edward, you must kill all the Bloods, otherwise Edward can be reborn from any of your dependents.
This is the innate ability of the Bloodline.
Not even the Black Sun can kill them completely.
It was only fitting to let Edward serve as an experiment, and he injected enough magic into the magic array, and the magic power ran at high speed between the ravines, plating a layer of gold on Edward's body, and with a 'whoosh', Edward disappeared out of thin air!
Within a few minutes, the magic array suddenly started on its own, obviously without entering the magic power, but the magic array started to run automatically, and with another 'whoosh', Edward appeared out of thin air, still holding a bowl of nut milk ice cream in his hand.
Without waiting for Mavi to speak, the members of the Ministry of Magic swarmed around Edward to inspect him, and finally came to a normal result.
"How are you feeling?" Mavi asked.
"Good, nothing different." Edward handed the ice cream in his hand to Yunia, "This is the ice cream that the Ministry of Magic in London entrusted me to give you, and it was made with freezing magic this morning. ”
"Thank you!"
There was ice cream to eat, Yunia laughed happily, seeing this, the Ministry of Magic immediately felt the crisis, and Minister Georg immediately decided to make an ice room, 24 hours a day to provide delicious ice cream for the goddess, in exchange for more scientific research funds.
After Edward's test, Levin couldn't wait to jump up, and Ma Wei hurriedly stopped him: "What are you doing?" ”
"Back to London! I've been in Mosk for more than half a month! It's time to go back and check it out! ”
"You come down first, who knows if Anatol has done anything in the magic array, let others try it before you use it."
"Didn't Edward test it just now?"
"It's transcendent, it's not like you." "Teleportation magic is complicated, and Edward is heavier than you when it comes to activating based on weight, so it can't be used as a model, and it should be tested a few more times before it can be officially used." ”
At Ma Wei's request, Levin could only wait for another two days, and in these two days, the Mosk Ministry of Magic conducted hundreds of tests, from light to heavy, from small to large, and under the accumulation of countless cases, the safety of the teleportation magic array was finally determined.
This time, Ma Wei did not stop Levin, and returned to London with him to launch a magic circle, and when they walked out of St. Paul's Cathedral and saw the familiar streets outside, they were completely relieved.
Back at Flower Street, Mavi goes to the café to find Blackie and tells him to pay more attention to Seecula's traces, if Seecula doesn't go to Mosk, then he must have come to London.
"The convenience of teleporting magic arrays has been confirmed, and the next step is that we should lay them in more cities and build a city network to ensure the convenience of mutual communication and support."
At the regular meeting, Christopher proposed to lay more teleportation circles, which was unanimously approved by everyone, but in which city and where to lay the teleportation circle still needs to be carefully considered.
"According to research, the teleportation magic array can be teleported in one direction, that is, teleporting from A to B does not require B's consent, and vice versa."
Sarina, who was sitting in the episcopal seat, said: "This will leave a security risk, if an enemy invades a church in a small city, can it activate the teleportation circle to enter the next city?" Is it possible to suddenly come to London and Mosk? ”
"The teleportation circle needs to be improved, and it must not be uncontrolled teleportation, I suggest that before it is improved, it should only be laid in the main city, and not in the main city, and the location should be located in the witcher branch."
Large cities like Mosk and London, which live in millions of people, have laid defensive magic arrays, and in case of crisis, they can open the canopy to block the enemy's invasion, and if the enemy directly enters the city by teleportation magic array, the canopy will lose its defensive effect and become a burden.
It is convenient to teleport at a fixed point, but you must also pay attention to safety, and Sarina's words have been affirmed by everyone, no one wants to see a powerful enemy suddenly appear in the church one day
After consideration, the church temporarily only left the teleportation circle of London-Mosk, and the teleportation circles of the rest of the cities were not connected to London and Mosk, so that even if the enemy used the teleportation magic array, they would not be able to invade London and Mosk.
Remembering Goncharov on the other side of the ocean, Mavietto sent him a teleportation circle, intending to connect Mexico City with Birmingham.
As August approaches, there is more news in the newspapers about the Games, and Stockholm is ready to welcome the athletes, with more countries participating than the Olympics four years ago, and the first Magic Olympics is getting more attention than ever.
In order to let more people enjoy the Olympic event, and in order to try their best to promote the Olympics and the Church of Truth, Ma Wei issued a temporary Olympic lottery ticket in the name of the church, which can be bought for only 5 cents, with an exclusive 7-digit number on it, and 300 lottery draws will be held every day.
Whether it's a hotel or three meals a day, the church will arrange it for the winners and give them special souvenirs.
Hearing that Ma Wei was going to sell lottery tickets, Dino was not only deterred, but his face was full of relief, after his calculations, the amount of money that each winner needed to participate in the Olympic Games was about 70 yuan, which was converted into gold pounds, which is about 10 gold coins.
Although the Olympics are held by the church, Stockholm spent a lot of money to host the Olympics, and the Church of Truth will not take advantage of them.
A quota of 70 yuan, 300 places is 27,000 yuan, every day, a month in a row, nearly 10,000 places are sent
Is it a loss?
Not at all!
Dino, who is careful about it, has long thought about it, because the Olympic lottery tickets are jointly issued in the Northern Union countries, and the number of buyers is not simply a few million, but hundreds of millions!
The Romanov Kingdom alone has a population of 200 million, and the other allies add up to one or two hundred million, and they are sold for thirty days in a row, each lottery ticket costs 5 cents, and the estimated sales volume is about 1 billion, converted into Northern Currency, the income should be about 50 million!
How much is 10,000 places worth?
700,000 to the top!
This yield is sky-high!
"The priest finally knows how to make money, yes, yes."
After settling the account, Dino took a sip of the teacup and was in a good mood.
Now he doesn't have to do anything, just wait for the money to go into his pocket.
Somehow this matter reached Ma Wei's ears, when he learned that the expected income was 50 million and the cost was not more than 700,000, Ma Wei was silent for a long time and decided to change the rules for lottery ticket sales.
"Lower the price to a penny each, and winners can bring up to four friends and family with them."
"What?!"
Dino, who heard the news, almost jumped up from his chair, his originally pale cheeks turned red and purple at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a few green tendons broke out near his temples.
"Are you crazy?! Good rules, what do you change randomly! Now it's good! The church is going to lose money! ”
Ma Wei, who had long expected Dino to kill him, looked calm: "How can you lose?" With a profit of 10 million and a cost of 3.5 million, you won't lose no matter how you look at it. ”
"You have to think about other costs! How much does it cost to print tickets for the issuance of lottery tickets? 1 billion tickets! There are also labor costs, tobacconist sales costs, and we have mobilized more than 100,000 people to promote Olympic lottery tickets in the Union countries! How much does it cost per day? On the surface, we made 6.5 million, but our cost should be more than 12 million! ”
Ma Wei opened his mouth: "I really didn't expect this, but a loss is a loss, this is a publicity and distribution, and it is all advertising money." ”
"You've got to me off!" Dino rolled his eyes: "How can you spend so much money!" I doubt the church was doing well financially in the first few years because you don't know how to settle accounts! Money-making businesses can be ruined by you! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't make any money in the past few years, so I just put money into it, okay? Also, isn't Manstein Potions quite profitable? ”
"The way churches make money is not the same as starting a company! If you continue like this, sooner or later, you will get yellow! ”
Dino's eyes flickered, and he pondered: "It seems that he can only make a killing move"
"What do you want to do?"
"Recoup your losses! Newspapers have their own printing houses, and we can bind the right to publish the winning numbers to the newspaper, and if the newspaper wants to publish the winning numbers in the newspaper, we have to print the lottery tickets for free! In this way, you can save 3 million costs! ”
His eyes lit up, and Dino said quickly, "Maybe we can ask the newspaper for 5% of the sales as a payment!" By the way, add more advertising space on the back of the ticket! Every day, the lottery tickets will change advertisers, and the highest bidder will be auctioned! ”
"In addition, we can change the location of lottery tickets from a tobacco shop to a fixed stall, place it in a place such as a market or park, and rent out the surrounding stalls in the form of rental, saving the cost of sales and earning rent! Not only can it drive the local economy, but it can also take the opportunity to sell Olympic mascots! Development of supporting industries! ”
Ma Wei looked at Dino dumbfounded: "You have a lot of ways."
"I didn't force you to force it!"
