The four elemental pools and positive and negative energy pools of the Tower of Time can draw a very limited amount of energy every day, which is about 10,000 points per day when converted into Arcanon points.

This income seems to be quite high, enough for the actual consumption of ten 10-ring spells, but if you deduct the basic operation needs to maintain the basic operation of the Tower of Time, as well as the daily consumption of the real boss, the members of the Tower of Time, there is not much left.

Especially now, with the Tower of Time training a large number of apprentices, the daily energy balance can reach 1,000 points, and Xia Duo will be thankful.

And even these 1,000 points are just a conversion result on the books, and there are not really so many arcane abilities.

In fact, the Tower of Time cannot convert the four elements, positive and negative energy, into arcane energy, and the consumption of several energies is not always evenly balanced.

It may be that today the fire element consumes more, and tomorrow the water element will be more, so when considering the actual energy reserves, it is necessary to set aside enough redundancy.

Of course, it is also possible to use the Arcane Crystal as an energy reserve, and the Tower of Time does just that, but that can only be the last strategic reserve, not for daily consumption.

The energy of a standard Arcane Crystal is almost 1,000 points, and this Arcane Crystal, if you change it to an advanced Arcanist to accumulate it, will have to accumulate it for at least three or four months.

It will take at least 5 or 6 days to do it in today's Xia Duo.

This is still not used by yourself, and if it is completely made into arcane energy crystals, if you use it yourself, it will be even more difficult to accumulate.

For a standard arcane crystallization like this, the Tower of Time consumes at least 8 or 9 of them every day, that is to say-

If you want to use the Arcane Crystal to maintain the normal operation of the Tower of Time, you need at least 40 senior Arcanists like Xia Duo who have come into contact with the ninth layer of the magic web, provide all the Arcane Balance Arcane to become full-time human flesh generators! (It's just Ao Neng, but you can still do other things)

It can be seen that although the energy utilization efficiency of the elemental pool and energy pool is lower, it is indeed an indispensable infrastructure for every mage tower.

And now, David alone consumes more than 1,000 points of energy a month, which is already the consumption of a high-level mage, and it may be even higher.

YY

If it weren't for him, the Tower of Time would have increased its monthly energy by at least one-tenth.

Or, if there were a few more big energy consumers like David, the energy balance of the Tower of Time would be broken!

This is much worse than a lack of money!

For a while, Xia Duo didn't know whether to continue to support David's research, but this hesitation only stayed in his mind for less than a second, and he abandoned it.

That strange silk thread, whether it is a materialized magic web string or not, must continue to be studied, and perhaps the next energy breakthrough of the Tower of Time will fall on it.

As for the energy crisis in the Tower of Time, this is actually a common problem, which was foreseen as early as when Xia Duo decided to train a large number of apprentices.

During this period, he also took a lot of measures to reduce expenditure, such as standardizing the use of spell laboratories, rectifying the waste of resources and redundancy of personnel in private research laboratories, and so on.

The most important thing is to separate the production of the Tower of Time and set up the Magic Mechanic Department, which greatly improves the efficiency of energy use.

Of course, all this is just throttling, not open source, as long as this new batch of apprentices grows up, it will be a matter of time before the energy balance of the Tower of Time collapses.

But how could Xia Duo watch the bankruptcy of Tower of Time Energy, whether it is the introduction of a new energy restriction policy or the opening of a sub-base, it will not be difficult to alleviate.

And if you want to completely solve this problem, you naturally have to rely on infinite energy [Miser Energy Core].

But now, David reminded Xia Duo that he could formulate some energy restriction policies now, and individual energy limits and daily energy limits of the Tower of Time could be done, and gradually became stricter, forcing the members of the Tower of Time to provide energy efficiency.

It is best to implement it while there is still a balance every day, lest these apprentices be promoted in large numbers and then put forward, but it seems that the Tower of Time is deliberately targeting them.

With this in mind, Xia Duo immediately contacted Nia, and after inquiring and learning that she was in the study on the top floor at the moment, he immediately teleported over.

……

In the study.

Instead of sitting behind her desk, Nia sat under the projection window, with only an open book on her lap, a few loose pieces of parchment, and a steaming cup of "Bonu IV" on the table in front of her, looking quite laid-back.

Seeing Xia Duo coming, Nia simply closed the book, picked up the teacup, took a small sip slowly, and motioned Xia Duo to the opposite side, and then slowly spoke:

"Were you in the territory just now? I saw several groups of people going to the villa. ”

"Yes. The Far Away is back, so I'll see you anyway. ”

Xia Duo glanced at the projection window and took advantage of the situation to the opposite side of Nia.

At this moment, the scene displayed on the projection window is the altar square of Linshui Village, where Xia Duo's elaborate sculpture of the Codex and the crowd around the sculpture are also clearly visible, and his lord's villa is on the side of the picture.

It's just that Xia Duo has the spell of "avoiding detection" almost all the time, so it does not appear in the projection, and it is not surprising that Nia does not see him.

"Is the communication lock eyebrow again?" While making himself tea, Xia Duo asked Nya.

"How can it be so fast! The last few days of experiments have failed, and I can't figure out what the problem is. Nia put down her teacup, her eyes confused.

But soon, as if she had thought of something, she turned her gaze to Xia Duo, who was taking a sip of tea, "Why don't you help me take a look?" ”

"Yes, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to give any useful advice."

The communication locks that Niya is currently working on are not strictly speaking, not a lock, or a conventional lock, but a communication network with a wide coverage and no material nodes.

Although the information of the communication array and the elven lock was given to Niya by Xia Duo, the communication lock is beyond the scope of these two, and even Xia Duo is difficult to give any constructive suggestions in a short period of time.

In this regard, his understanding is not as good as Nia's, and all he can give is some broad suggestions at the macro level, involving specific problems, which must be solved by Nya herself.

……

"By the way, tell you something!"

"Well, you say!" Nia responded, handing her research notes on the communication puzzle to Chado.

Xia Duo took the note, put it on his lap and did not hurriedly look through it, but briefly introduced what happened in the material department before, as well as David's research, and then said-
