In the past, Xia Duo had tried to make paper, but at that time, he was a little negligent in his consideration, and he was approached by the princess's teacher, Master Byron.

Byron reminded him that there are people who are paying close attention to new technologies such as papermaking that have far-reaching implications, and that there are those who support and those who oppose it, but fortunately Byron is not the opponent.

But even so, Xia Duo never made any more paper after that, even inside the Tower of Time, without fear of being discovered through spells.

However, the situation has changed from before, and the biggest change is naturally Xia Duo's own strength, influence, and even his position within the Seven Towers Group.

Since the Seven Towers have made a name for him, and at the same time, whether it is Greta or the princess, they have directly or indirectly expressed their importance for him, although Xia Duo himself has some suspicions, outsiders will not care so much.

Right now, he has the identity of the Seven Towers, even if he does something a little out of line and not too excessive, will the Seven Towers still have nothing to do with him?

Of course, his own strength is Xia Duo's biggest reliance.

The trip to the [Projection Plane: Dark Region] made Xia Duo truly feel the power of the elven high mage, breaking his blind confidence in himself in the past.

But at the same time, that power is also very real and limited, and it is no longer as unfathomable as he occasionally frightens and fantasizes about.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, Xia Duo realized that the gap between himself and the elven high mage or the human grand arcanist, although there is a big one, but this gap can be seen, touched, and can be effectively avoided.

This is also a kind of self-confidence that has been re-established in an alternative way.

With this kind of understanding, Xia Duo is naturally not as wary of the conservative forces on the human side or the extremists on the elven side as before.

Even refining Mithril is on the agenda, so what a mere papermaking technique!

In addition, whether it is refining Mithril or making paper, Xia Duo does not plan to disclose it to the public in the short term, and only uses the finished product inside the Tower of Time.

is still timid like this, so what else is there to talk about attracting the trend of the times!

……

Looking at Cecily with a slightly resentful expression in front of her, Xia Duoming didn't say anything on his face, but he also knew in his heart that he was a little negligent in terms of finances and materials.

"I'll solve the problem of paper, and tell me in advance the next time I find any problems, I'm not blindly arrogant and can't accept other people's opinions."

Hearing Xia Duo say this, Cecily was a little surprised at first, but it was no longer that resentful expression, she hesitated for a moment, and whispered:

"Actually, I mentioned this to Nia before, and she told me not to make trouble for you, I thought she would tell you, and it turned out—"

"It's-"

Xia Duo was suddenly very surprised, he didn't expect that there would be this episode here, but Niya thought badly this time, and covering up the problem does not mean that it is solved.

Only by facing up to the problem can we solve the problem and be right.

"Next time you have any questions, remember to tell me in advance, I don't think you want Niya to suffer losses because of this!"

Cecily nodded, and didn't reply directly, Xia Duo only thought it was interesting when she saw it, maybe she still wanted to report to Niya first?

What a loyal little butler!

Skipping this section, Xia Duo took out some of the wood pulp paper he had made earlier from his personal space, put it on the desk, and pushed it towards Cecily, motioning for her to pick it up and take a look.

"Isn't this paper?" Cecily only glanced at it to know what it was, and she picked it up and flipped through it a few times before asking, "Do you want it instead of parchment?" ”

"Paper" and "parchment" in Chromay are not the same word, but two completely different words, and the former often has a prefix - "elf".

The so-called "elf paper" refers to the existence of similar wood pulp paper, and Nessreel can also produce its own, but it is expensive and cannot be used to make magic scrolls, so it is not popular.

Cecily's doubts were also there, but Xia Duo nodded and continued: "I know you want to talk about its price, but what if I tell you that I have mastered the method of making cheap paper? ”

"Cheap paper?"

Cecily was stunned for a moment, but then her eyes lit up with joy, "My lord, are you telling the truth?" Is there really a cheap way to make paper? ”

"Of course it's true!"

"That, that—"

Cecily was not happy for long to get a definite answer from Chado's mouth, and she soon realized that if there was a cheap way to make paper, and it was also made in large quantities, then the spread of knowledge was almost inevitable.

What are the implications?

Somehow, Cecily suddenly linked this to the changes that Chardo had made to the Tower of Time, and a terrible guess came to her mind.

"My lord, I can't decide this matter, I must report it to Nia."

"Yes."

Xia Duo didn't stop her, and he couldn't stop her.

However, in his daily interactions with Nia, he had revealed his plans more than once, and he had also described to her the kind of future he envisioned.

Nia didn't show resistance, and if she really refused, she wouldn't have to wait for Cecily to report the news.

In a sense, Nia can be considered his comrade, and Shado believes that the more gifted the caster, the less likely he will resist that future.

In the same way, the more talented the caster, the more powerful he will be, which is also the greatest boost to change.

Only those who feel that there is no hope of moving forward, or who are satisfied with the status quo, will resist progress, but once progress appears, the general trend is menacing, who can really resist!

Unless the gods destroy the world, otherwise, the tide of progress may have twists and turns, but the general direction must be forward, and the threshold for immortality in this world is not high.

……

After Cecily left, the supplies department was also deserted, and Xia Duo did not stay long, and continued to the Horst laboratory.

However, he already knew about the material application situation of the Horst laboratory, and had already estimated the progress of their mass production design research.

When he went there, as he expected, most of the new projects were still on paper, and they had not yet reached the stage of physical trial production.

Xia Duo gave a few words of encouragement and left, without putting too much pressure on them.

At present, the tower of time is already on the right track, of course, there are pains of change, as long as the internal stability is not chaotic, it will always be in the stage of rapid development, and everyone will benefit from it.

And when it works, it also promotes stability.

What we need to do now is to fill in as many gaps as possible and solve the problems that we have not noticed before, or that have been exposed in the process of development.
