Putting away the Arcane Federation monthly, Xia Duo walked to the Tirac research room not far from his residence, since the [Magic Web Background Communication] plan has been forcibly authorized to each mage tower, then the communication magic weapon based on this spell can also be arranged.

It was already the end of August, but this was the first time that Shado had come to the Tirac laboratory this month, and as soon as he walked in, he was clearly aware of the deserted atmosphere here.

Of course, there are still people, but compared to the busy scene before, now there are only Tirak with a few apprentices who don't know what they are busy with, and there are no other official mages.

Xia Duo thought for a moment, and felt that he seemed to have overlooked something, so he beckoned Tirac to come over and ask, "Tirac, why are you the only one here, and the others?" ”

It's not that Xia Duo deliberately neglected the apprentice, but the apprentice was not in the formal establishment of the laboratory, and the only people who had joined the laboratory as apprentices were Dean and Sammy before.

However, now Dean and Sammy have long since become official mages.

Tirac was not at all surprised by Xia Duo's sudden arrival, and when he heard Xia Duo's inquiry, he casually took something from the corner of the laboratory table, and then walked out of the general laboratory in the research room:

"Xia Duo, you came just in time, I originally wanted to contact you! I didn't expect you to come here first, before you asked us to try out the communication device, we have already completed, you look at the sample! ”

As he spoke, he handed the things he had just brought out to Xia Duo.

Xia Duo took a look at his hand, it was a palm-sized crystal ball, gray and opaque, it seemed that something had happened when it was encapsulated with crystal material, and it was contaminated with impurities.

Of course, it is also possible that [Eternal Magic] has a special effect.

Under the magical vision, this crystal ball emitted a faint but long-lasting magical aura, and Xia Duo took a closer look and found that this magic item was more delicate than the [Long-Term Reflector] and [Vigilance Talisman] that Tirac had made before.

It seems that their craftsmanship is also improving.

Instead of using it, Shado asked Tirak, "Have you tested it?" How long is the interval between a single communication? How long can it last? ”

"Only some simple tests have been done, and the interval between a single communication is about 3 minutes, after all, there is still a bit of a gap with the traditional production method, but if you switch to a higher purity Mithril component, provide energy flux, reduce buffer time, or improve the production process, the communication interval will be reduced again, and theoretically the interval time can be reduced indefinitely."

After a pause, Tirac continued, "As for the service life, it depends on the actual use scenario, the production method of Eternal Magic is between the traditional production method and the Magic Constant Technique in terms of stability, and if it is used normally, there should be no problem in five to ten years." ”

The previous answer was decent, but when he heard the service life, Xia Duo raised his voice slightly, "Five to ten years?" ”

"If you improve the process, you can increase the service life!" Tirac replied immediately.

Xia Duo does not doubt this, but he is dissatisfied not that the service life is too short, but that it is too long, how can someone use a "mobile phone" for five years, or even ten years?

The market is limited, a few rushed into it, and it was full in an instant, which is not a one-shot deal, only continuous renewal can maintain a steady stream of income.

In the same way, competition can also stimulate the sustainable development of related theories, technologies and processes, which is a healthy development model.

Like that kind of ancient magic weapon, which is still in use until now, and even outstanding, can only show that the development has stagnated terribly!

Xia Duo explained a few words briefly, Tirac nodded a little blankly, but Xia Duo didn't care, anyway, he would continue to output his ideas in the Tower of Time, as long as these people saw the actual effect, they would naturally understand him, he had time, and he was not in a hurry.

"By the way, where are the others?" Xia Duo asked again.

"They're going to teach the apprentices."

"Giving lessons to apprentices? Aren't the people in the research room without teaching tasks? ”

Hearing this answer, Xia Duo couldn't help frowning, he did need a lot of formal mages to teach new apprentices, but since the last time he found out that Devane was going to bring new apprentices, he had the apprenticeship management office change it to flexible teaching, making the most of the capable people.

He also took care that the people in the Tirac Lab didn't have to take on teaching tasks, hoping that they would focus on the study of eternal magic.

Although the teaching staff of the apprenticeship management office is relatively tight at the moment, there is no need to let the people in the Tirac research room come over.

Shado stared at Tirac to see what he could explain as the head of the laboratory.

Although Xia Duo usually has a very kind attitude towards people, his identity as an arcane is also difficult to ignore, and being stared at by Xia Duo with a serious expression, Tirac couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his speech became a little nervous:

"It's not exactly a teaching task, it's actually related to the current expenditure of the research room."

Income and expenses?

Hearing this answer, Xia Duo's brows tightened, the Tirac Research Room was the most important part of the Tower of Time besides apprenticeship, "What's the problem with expenditures?" Is it the Audit Office or Cecily's side of the trouble? ”

At present, the only expenses related to the Tower of Time Research Laboratory are Cecily's materials department and the newly established audit office, but the audit office is in the hands of Xia Duo, and if there is any problem, he has already been informed.

Xia Duo had an answer in his heart.

"It's Cecily." Tirak whispered.

And so it was!

Xia Duo immediately felt troubled, Cecily was completely responsible for Niya, she was Niya's little butler, Xia Duo was not good at forcing Cecily to agree to anything, and she was not willing to go to Niya to make small moves.

After thinking about it, Shado said to Tirak, "I probably already know the situation, so the others are going to choose a magic mechanic?" ”

"Yes."

At this time, Xia Duo finally realized what he had overlooked, which was the magic mechanic! Of course, it can also be said that it is the income and expenditure of the Tirak laboratory, which is actually about the same thing.

Magic Mechanic, as the name suggests, refers to skilled workers engaged in magic-related work, including but not limited to, making prefabs of magic items, and acting as a resonant spellcasting "battery" for magicians. (Enchantment, refers to the additional magic, that is, the [quasi-magic item] link to the magic net, the final step in the manufacture of magic items)

Of course, a magician is also a magician.

Xia Duo's idea is to complete the division of labor, including research, design, and production, among which the person who is specifically responsible for production is the [Magic Technician], similar to the foundry workers on the earth.

At present, all the expenditures of the Tirak Lab are provided by the Tower of Time Material Division, but the output is very small, except for a very small number of [Warning Talisman] outputs, there is no other output.

It's just that it's consumed every day, so it's no wonder Cecily is looking for trouble.

In Shado's plan, the [Magic Technician] will be able to quickly expand the production of the laboratory products of the Tirak Laboratory into products that can be actually sold.

With the low-cost advantage of [Eternal Magic], you can quickly open the market, grab profits, and turn the Tirac Research Laboratory into a profit.
