"Lord Chateau, what I want to ask is, why can't the 'bridging' structural element elements be simplified by the joint elements? Wouldn't that make spellcasting easier? And why can 'invert' structural element elements be? ”

Hearing Jose's question, Xia Duo nodded slightly, and didn't say anything, just swept his eyes around everyone's faces, and he saw that some people showed expressions of surprise and disdain, while others were thoughtful.

This gave Xia Duo a deeper understanding of the current mastery of arcane geometry of these mid-level mages, and he replied:

"Very good, being able to ask this question shows that you have seriously thought about the five operations of the Strings of the Magic Net, but it also exposes your shortcomings in the accumulation of insufficient spell experiments.

Let's get off the book

"It's a pretty simple question, you just need to try a few spells with 'bridge' structural elements to see why you can't do the joint element simplification.

"To put it simply, if the bridging structure is connected to a multi-layered magic web, if you want to simplify the joint elements, you need to add more low-ring elements to maintain the integrity of its structure, which in turn increases the difficulty of casting.

"The inverter structure only involves a single layer of magic network elements, so as long as it can be simplified, it can be simplified as much as possible, in addition to the simplification of combined elements, it can also be simplified by overlapping elements, and the simplification process is like this——"

Xia Duo said as he manipulated the strings of the magic web with his will to weave a specific combination of elements and demonstrate the transformation process to give everyone a more intuitive impression.

……

After that, José continued to ask questions, and Chado answered them one by one, until he asked three questions, and Chado asked him to sit down.

"Next, Master Chaveira, three questions."

Chavira has only recently become a mid-level mage, and he has caught up with a good time, but he was still in an apprentice class before, so the recent mid-level mage assessment is still a little behind Jose and ranked second.

However, no matter how good the evaluation is, there are only three questions at most, and the top three can be filled, and if the evaluation is backward, there are only one or two, and even any questions cannot be asked.

Of course, no questions can be asked, or few questions will not affect their attendance and private communication afterwards.

This would have been almost impossible in the past.

……

Soon, Xia Duo finished answering everyone's questions, and he himself took this opportunity to reorganize the knowledge system he had mastered, and even found some blind spots that he had ignored in the past.

This made him feel very gratified, after all, a person's wisdom is limited, and the so-called checking and filling in the gaps is nothing more than that.

Walking out of conference room 045, Xia Duo looked at the time (the resident timekeeping spell [Magic Net Hour]) and found that there was still a while before lunch, so he went to the specially renovated papermaking workshop to check.

"Your Excellency!" *N

"No need to be polite, you're busy with yours, I'll take a look!"

Xia Duo waved his hand, refused everyone's salute, and then quietly observed, the basic process was similar to his before, except that after finishing the pulp, it was not shaped and dried with magic.

Instead, it uses non-magical methods to make paper and dry, Xia Duo looked at it for a while, and found that the efficiency was much lower than using the spell [Papermaking, Shaping and Drying].

The only good thing is that the bar is lower.

Even if it's not the Tower of Time that is in a paper panic, the previous steps can be solved in a non-magical way.

After observing for a while, Garnar, who received the news, rushed over from outside, and when Xia Duo saw the person in charge of the Magic Technician, he asked directly:

"Garner, how many standard pieces of writing paper can be produced per day in the two papermaking workshops of the Magic Lab now?"

"Xia Duo, the papermaking technique you provide is really amazing!"

Seeing Xia Duo ask about the output of papermaking, Garnal's eyes lit up and said excitedly: "Now there is more pulp in the two papermaking workshops, but it is limited to the site, and there are only five apprentices who are responsible for papermaking and drying, but the daily output is considerable, and now it has steadily produced 15,000 pieces of standard writing paper every day!" (Standard number of sheets after large paper cutting)

At first hearing this number, Xia Duo was also a little surprised, although this number was far from his expected goal, but compared to the difficulty of obtaining parchment or so-called "elf paper", it was many times easier.

Behind any piece of parchment is a living cow, sheep, and monitor lizard, and it takes time for a creature to grow.

And elf paper is a foreign product, even Nessreel has some territory that can produce it, but the price is too bad, and the cheapest ones are several times that of parchment.

Now the Tower of Time can produce 15,000 pieces of standard writing paper per day, how much money can be saved!

Of course, now that papermaking has magic involved, it may not be possible to save much money, but magic is not a necessary condition for the papermaking technique provided by Xia Duo, as long as the current paper panic in the Tower of Time is alleviated, it can be produced by non-magical methods immediately.

But it is also possible to scale up production to achieve higher yields.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo asked again: "How much gap is there in the demand for paper in the materials department?" Also, what do the apprentices think of the new paper? ”

"The apprentices are particularly fond of this kind of new paper with 1 copper coin, with the new paper, no one has bought the remaining parchment paper at all, as for the gap in the material department, I think it may have disappeared, but the price of the new paper is only one-twentieth of the parchment in the past, and the apprentices' desire to buy is getting higher and higher, and I am worried that if we can't expand the production capacity in time, there will be a paper panic."

Garner's worries are not unfounded, he himself is now accustomed to using new paper, and although the writing experience may not be as good as parchment, new paper is cheap!

Coming all the way from the apprenticeship, Garner knows best what the apprentice thinks, learning magic is a process of burning money, even if you are from a wealthy family, as long as you have the opportunity to save, you will definitely save.

Because you don't know when you might be missing that copper coin that could have been saved.

"In that case, let's expand production capacity as soon as possible! The target is tentatively set at 100 sheets of paper per day per apprentice. Chado was quick to give instructions.

"Yes."

……

After leaving the papermaking workshop, it was almost time to eat, and Xia Duo called Nia out of the Tower of Time and came to the Great Xia Ling, where Chef Cook had already prepared a sumptuous lunch for the two.

Looking at the steaming milky fish soup on the table, Chateau suddenly thought of the Wolfburg River, north of the town of Savile, which showed no trace of life at all.

If you're unlucky, you might not be able to eat fish again after eating this meal.

Taking advantage of the fact that you can still catch fish in the southern section of the Wolfburg River, you must eat more, thinking of this, Xia Duo can't help but speed up the speed of dry rice.
