The top floor of the Tower of Time, the residence of the tower owner.

This was originally the residence of Lord Epps, and the conditions were better than the general private accommodation on the sixth floor, and when Xia Duo came to the study, Nia was sitting at the window, observing the Great Xia Ling through the projection.

"Nia even has it too!"

Xia Duo calmed down, walked behind Niya, and once again confirmed that Niya was also wrapped around wisps of "clouds", like light and fog, but it did not affect normal vision.

He carefully observed for a while, ready to observe some more targets, so he said: "There is still a little bit of farmland opened up this year, and there will be a bigger harvest scene next year!" ”

He came just in time, and the projection was the scene of the Great Xia leaders harvesting the more than 100 acres of wheat fields.

Since the farmland had not yet been divided, a row of people slowly moved from one end to the other, and patches of golden barley fell behind them, which were then carried by the people behind them in bales.

It's quite spectacular.

Xia Duo knew that Savile had not had such a large-scale collective harvest before this year, but this year was different, and he thought that Mayor Sain would arrange it well!

However, even if Savile Town has Mayor Sain to organize a collective harvest, it is difficult for the scattered farmland to appear on the scene of Xia Duo.

And next year, there will be more farmland on the side of Xia Duo.

In his plan, in the future, the distribution of land to the people will not be divided in physical space, but in property rights, since it is starting from scratch, then the foundation of the collective farm will be laid down in advance!

Just as Xia Duo was looking forward to the grand harvest scene in the future, Nia had turned off the projection on the window and turned it into a faint sky projection, and then got up and turned to Xia Duo with a somewhat serious expression:

"Shado, how long has it been since you've been paying attention to the Tower of Obsolete elemental pool?"

"Elemental pools? What happened to the Elemental Pool? Xia Duo asked suspiciously.

He hadn't paid attention to the elemental pool for a while, and he hadn't cared about it since the magic net environment outside the Tower of Time had been restored to a certain extent, and the pressure on the Tower of Time had been greatly reduced, allowing the energy reserves of the elemental pool to grow positively.

Now that Niya asked, could it be that there was something wrong with the elemental pool?

Nia did not directly explain Xia Duo's question, but projected a blueprint of the Tower of Time in front of him, of course, it was a little more sketchy than the blueprint that really preserved the core of the Tower of Time, but it could also explain some problems.

In fact, when Xia Duo saw the blueprint of the Tower of Time, he immediately understood, this diagram depicts the overall energy direction of the Tower of Time, including the amount of energy consumption and energy reserves.

In the picture, the energy consumption of the Tower of Time against the external magic network environment still accounts for a large part, but it is not the largest part, and the largest energy consumption is actually in the spell practice room of the library.

Although the rest of the protective and functional infrastructure has also been consumed, it is not much different from before, except for the spell practice room, which has changed significantly, which is very eye-catching.

"This-" Xia Duo was silent, he didn't know what to say for a while, he really didn't want to be stillborn in the blink of an eye after the transformation that had just begun.

"Although the spell suppression field in the spell practice room can subdivide the energy level and reduce the consumption, so many people continue to use it, the Tower of Time really can't last long!"

Speaking of this, Nia canceled the projection of the blueprint of the Tower of Time, sighed, and said with emotion: "I'm afraid that Savile's great-ancestor would never have thought when he was building the Tower of Time that one day in the future, the Tower of Time would have hundreds of apprentices at the same time!"

"Xia Duo, it's not that I don't approve of this kind of apprenticeship training, it's just that the reality of the Tower of Time has to be considered!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through!" Xia Duo looked at Nia and said solemnly.

This is indeed what he ignored!

However, the energy consumption brought about by a large number of apprentices is indeed a problem, and it is also a difficulty that has to be faced on the road to transformation, even if it is not revealed now, in the future, when those apprentices become official mages, there may be even more trouble.

Now that it was revealed, it was just the right time to give Xia Duo a chance to eliminate the hidden danger, he thought about it and asked Nia, "If you don't make any changes, how long can the energy of the Tower of Time last?" ”

"It's about half a year, but didn't you say that you want to step up the production of communication devices? And there are other mass production plans ahead, I'm worried—"

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out."

In fact, Xia Duo doesn't have too much to worry about the production of magic items, which is actually not much of a change in energy consumption from the previous mage personal all-in-one, but may be reduced due to the improvement of efficiency.

Only increased production with increased efficiency can lead to new energy consumption, but crafting magic items essentially solidifies the caster's individual spell ability, and the maximum yield is directly proportional to the number of spells cast per day.

Theoretically, no one would waste all of their spell casts on crafting magic items, but more on practicing spells or conducting spell experiments on their own.

Therefore, even if the output under the new model may be increased, but not too much, after all, Xia Duo is not a black-hearted capitalist, even if he is a magic technician, he will respect these people and give them room to grow.

Compared to this, the problem of these nearly 1,000 apprentices becoming official mages in the future is even more serious.

According to Xia Do's previous rough measurement of the cost of arcane spellcasting, the cost of a 0-ring spell is about half that of a 1-ring spell.

A 5-ring spell costs 10 times as much as a 1-ring spell.

Correspondingly, even if the energy consumption of the spell suppression field is not calculated based on the actual cost of the spell, the cost of the different ring level spells must be related to the ring level of the target spell.

Now that so many apprentices are about to drain the Tower of Time, if they all become full-fledged mages and use the spell practice room as they do now, the energy consumption of the spell practice room will almost double.

And if all of them become high-level mages, it will be 20 times the consumption now, which is not impossible, after all, in the vision planned by Xia Duo, most ordinary people have the opportunity to become arcanists.

To use the analogy of the college entrance examination on the earth, it is to give everyone the opportunity to pass the college entrance examination to become a college student, and a senior arcanist is equivalent to graduating from college.

As for the Grand Arcanist, this is the official researcher in Xia Duo's vision, and all under the Grand Arcanist can be classified as "Minke".

It's a bit difficult, but the vision is always a bit challenging, and it can't be easily realized.

From this point of view, a strong and stable energy source must be obtained, and the elemental pool may be fine, but Xia Duo prefers the Mithic core.

can make a mountain peak in and out of the clouds, and I think it can at least meet the consumption of a magic academy.
