Chapter 436: True Magic Mirror, Industrialization
It's been almost half a year since Junior Mage Tirak set up a research room on his own, and even the last time he came over was more than a month ago.
I don't know if there will be any unexpected surprises when I come over this time.
While walking to the Tirak Lab, Shado also contacted Dean, who had joined the Tirak Lab, but instead of asking about the progress of the research, he asked about the current status of the Society.
Previously, he set up a separate authority for the members of the Society to promote the transformation of the Tower of Time, and he has always been more concerned about the status of the Society.
"Xia Duo, you don't know, as soon as those apprentices heard that you created the Society, they desperately wanted to squeeze in, and our plan to enter the Society went very smoothly, and almost all the apprentices in the Tower of Time have been covered."
Although he didn't see anyone, from Dean's excited voice, Xia Duo could also tell that the recent development of the academy was quite smooth.
The so-called seminar plan is actually to promote the seminar model within the society to all apprentices, forming an academic atmosphere of "cooperation, development, sharing, and win-win".
After thinking about it, Xia Duo asked again: "How many apprentices want to join us now?" ”
"This-" Dean hesitated, "There are indeed quite a few people, but not all of them want to join us, I just counted the day before yesterday, and there are probably only more than a hundred." ”
It seems that Dean's previous words are still a bit exaggerated, but Xia Duo doesn't care, there are more than a hundred that have exceeded his expectations, and the total number of apprentices in the Tower of Time is only two or three hundred.
And even if so many people want to join the academy, it is impossible to accept all of them.
Otherwise, why should there be a division of "full members", "probationary members", "associate members", and "activists"?
After a few more small talks, Dean suddenly asked, "Xia Duo, what is the use of the new permission to enter the society?" We tried many times and didn't see any difference from before. ”
Of course, the new permissions are not just independent of the organizational relationship, but there are tangible new permissions that can be used in the Tower of Time, and in this regard, Xia Duo has planned for a long time, but the time is not yet ripe.
However, since Dean mentioned it, he didn't care about revealing it in advance, "The new permission allows members of the Society to use the spell laboratory for free, and it will be implemented after a while." ”
Whether it is the transformation of the Tower of Time or in order to adapt to the arrival of the new era, the demand for grassroots mages is always rising, but the general environment tends to be conservative, and Xia Duo can only come step by step.
Otherwise, the most direct, rapid, and certainly the most violent way to fully open up the basics.
At this point, Tirak's lab was already in sight, and Shado and Dean invariably stopped the communication. At the same time, the door to the laboratory opened, and Tirac came out with a flush of excitement on his face:
"My lord, our experiment was successful! It worked! ”
"Oh?" When Xia Duo heard this, his spirit was also lifted, it has only been half a year, and the eternal magic has borne fruit? If it's just a magic effect of a "magic effect" like before, it won't be a real result at all.
"My lord, please follow me! We really succeeded this time! Tirac said quickly.
……
Inside, the faces of many members of the Society appeared here, each with a sense of pride, excitement and excitement, and when they saw Xia Duo coming, the crowd immediately parted ways.
Xia Duo had been here many times before, nodded to the crowd, and then skillfully came to the general laboratory inside, and saw the goal this time on the alchemy circle in the innermost part of the general laboratory-
Like the "magic mirror" last time, this time it is still a mirror, but this time the mirror is like a bright lamp, and it is constantly shining!
At this time, Tirak also introduced in a timely manner: "Your Excellency, please see, we have just succeeded in making this mirror, although it has not been tested by time, I am sure that it will continue to shine steadily for more than a day!" ”
Shado nodded, agreeing with Tirac's words, spell identification is a final course that mages have learned since their apprenticeship, and with Shado's magical attainments, it is not difficult to judge the duration of the spell on this mirror.
"Three days, it lasts at least three days!" Shado affirmed, looking at Tirac for a few more moments.
Although there is still a certain gap between this mirror and the "lamp" made by the real magic constancy, it can last for three days, which is no longer a qualitative gap, but a difference in length of time and quantity.
"You're doing a great job!" Xia Duo did not hesitate to praise him, and then asked, "How much does this mirror cost?" ”
Speaking of the cost, Tirak's watch suddenly became entangled, "My lord, this is just the beginning, and the cost will be reduced later!" ”
"I know, let's talk about it first!"
"Yes." Tirac didn't pick up the mirror, but just deflected the mirror a bit, and then explained: "My lord, the main body of this mirror is pure silver, shaped by the alchemy circle, integrated into the Mithril thread, and used as a magic web link point, only the cost of these materials is less than 50 gold coins, plus the depreciation of the alchemy circle, the caster's labor, not counting the previous research costs, the comprehensive cost of this long-lasting reflector is about 120 gold coins." ”
When Tirac said it, Xia Duo himself was also silently calculating, and he calculated slightly higher than Tilac, but this does not affect it, the cost of this mirror is really low!
Even if it is 120 gold coins, combined with the Light Technique that can last for at least three days, it is quite cost-effective, and even after the technology is improved in the future, the longer it lasts, the more money it will save!
However, this is just a magic item with a 0 ring spell, and if it comes with a higher ring level spell, the cost will inevitably increase again.
But compared to the magic items currently on the market, it's almost the price of cabbage.
A Mithril Artifact's Luminous Amulet has a market price of around 250 gold, but it only lasts for a short time, after which it must be "cooled" for a period of time before it can be used.
This kind of permanent magic item, if the technology is mature, will have both the flexibility and long-term effect of the magic constancy creation, and the stability of the Mithril component creation, and the price can be maintained to a certain extent.
Extremely competitive!
Even now, when this mirror is sold for 250 gold coins, there must be a lot of people rushing to ask for it, not to mention the new technology used in this mirror, just the mirror book is worthy of such a price.
Xia Duo praised Tirac again, and encouraged at the same time: "Keep up the good work, I hope that the next item is related to [Magic Alert], and while researching, we should pay attention to discovering the inherent similarities between different magic items and how they are made, and summarize the common manufacturing experience." ”
It's still a bit early to talk about this, but if you don't plan it, you don't want Tilak to turn this new technology with great potential into a craftsman's craft.
He needed generic technology that could be industrialized, not a personal handicraft.
Otherwise, he made it himself, and with his success rate, no matter what technology was used, he could compress the cost, but this has nothing to do with others, nothing to do with the times, and Xia Duo does not take it.
