"David's research may lead to a more efficient way of energy storage, and of course it may be the prototype of a completely new strategic weapon, but in either case, I think it is necessary to provide greater support for his subsequent related research."

"If you think it's okay, just do what you say!"

After saying that, Nia glanced at Xia Duo curiously, "Is there anything else?" I don't believe you're just coming to me because of this! ”

"I know I can't hide it from you!"

Xia Duo's authority in the Tower of Time is very high, and many things can be decided individually, and he is more like the leader of the Tower of Time than Nia.

But even if Xia Duo is the real leader, he feels the need to talk to Nia first on some major matters, such as the next one:

"You can also see David's energy consumption in the past few months, even if it is put in the high-level mage, it is the one with a lot, and then think about other people, unrestricted energy opening will definitely lead to a lot of waste.

"The Tower of Time does not yet have the capital to make people consume energy wantonly, and this batch of new apprentices will be promoted in large numbers in the near future, and the energy crisis will be more serious at that time, I think it is time to implement the energy restriction policy."

"And then?" Nia asked.

"I think the first step is to classify energy consumption, which is mainly divided into Tower of Time infrastructure consumption and Tower of Time member consumption.

Thinkers

"The consumption of members of the Tower of Time can be subdivided into pure personal consumption, research room consumption, and production consumption, of which production consumption mainly refers to the Magic Technician Department, and the remaining personal consumption and research room consumption are the main directions of energy limiting."

Subsequently, Shado ordered Taling to display the energy consumption of the Tower of Time in the past six months according to his classification, in the form of percentages.

Among them, the largest ones are the personal consumption of Tower of Time members and the consumption of research laboratories, accounting for more than half of the total energy consumption.

After that, the infrastructure consumption of such a complex behemoth as the Tower of Time accounted for almost one-third.

The remainder is also a number of unclassified miscellaneous items, which account for only about one-tenth of the total, which is about the same as the monthly balance.

"In the past, the Tower of Time used fees to suppress the use of infrastructure by members, such as the spell pacification field of the spell laboratory and the alchemy circle of the general laboratory, but after the transformation of the Tower of Time to release these restrictions, waste will inevitably be wasted, and I roughly estimate that at least one-third of the consumption of members of the Tower of Time is wasted."

"So much?"

Nya was surprised by such a number, and then asked, "How much improvement will there be if the limit is implemented?" ”

"From the perspective of energy storage alone, we can at least double the monthly balance, reduce the use of infrastructure, and extend the maintenance cycle of the Tower of Time, which is not to be underestimated! What's more—"

"What is it?"

"More importantly, this move has improved the internal order of the Tower of Time, and in the long run, the impact will be even greater!"

"So what are you going to do?"

How?

If before coming to see Niya, Xia Duo only had one budding idea, then now, after such an analysis of Niya, the vague thoughts in his heart have gradually become clear.

He took out a piece of paper again, listed a few numbers on it, and explained:

"I think 1,000 energy points per month is enough for a high-level mage, and then 500 corresponds to a mid-level mage, 300 corresponds to a low-level mage, and 100 corresponds to an apprentice."

"Is this purely personal use, or does it include the lab?"

"Personal use only, excluding the lab!"

Xia Duo continued, "The research room itself can be regarded as the affirmation and support of the Tower of Time for the mid-level mages on a certain topic, and according to the importance of their research, the Tower of Time can give different energy credit subsidies.

"Of course, this requires them to apply on their own initiative, and if they don't apply, even if a research laboratory is established, it will only consume their personal quota."

"You're doing that—" Nia frowned, thoughtful.

Xia Duo was not in a hurry, waiting for Niya to think slowly, and in the process of waiting, he could also see what problems Nia had encountered in the research of the communication lock.

……

"I think it's feasible, and in addition, I think the monthly quota of apprentices can be broken down a little more, in fact, level 1 and level 2 apprentices shouldn't use so much energy."

“……”

Xia Duo was about to turn the page, and when he heard Nia say this, he subconsciously paused in his hand, what Nia said was indeed very reasonable, but this too subdivided gradient quota reminded him of those evil capitalists on the earth.

Using big data to set a precise maximum fee that meets everyone's psychological limits is abhorrent.

Indeed, the Tower of Time now has the largest number of apprentices, and the energy consumption is also the largest, with nearly a thousand people combined, which is much more than the consumption of high-level mages who only have a single digit.

But Xia Duo felt that there was no need to be so precise in the calculation of the Tower of Time, and he had to stick the monthly quota at the minimum usage limit of each person.

Is this the benefit of the members of the Tower of Time? Or is it a shackle?

Energy caption is to avoid waste and promote sustainable development, not to limit Tower members.

If you want to truly gain "energy freedom", it is useless to throttle light, or how open source it is!

If there were an infinite amount of energy such as the [Mithic Energy Core] now, Xia Duo would definitely not limit anyone's energy consumption.

……

Seeing that Niya had already picked up the pen and calculated it on the paper, Xia Duo hurriedly stretched out his hand to block the paper and said:

"Forget about the apprentices, even if you subdivide the gradient quota for them this time, but when they are promoted in the future, do you still have to subdivide them, or do you subdivide them for low-level mages and middle-level mages now?"

"What if it weren't?"

Facing Nia's puzzled gaze, Xia Duo asked rhetorically, "If you were an ordinary member of the Tower of Time now, would you be willing to see an energy quota that happens to be stuck at your minimum consumption limit?" ”

"I don't want to!" Nia replied subconsciously.

After speaking, she looked at Xia Duo thoughtfully, and instantly had a new understanding of many of Xia Duo's past behaviors, and then she seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked:

"Is that what you've experienced in your hometown?"

"Pretty much, a relaxed environment can promote innovation, if there is a lot of material pressure, and you only think about a little material or energy all day, how can you think about studying magic?"

Appropriate pressure can inspire people to struggle, but once they are overwhelmed, let alone struggle, it is a luxury to be alive.

Thinking of the rumors of "retirement" at the age of 35 circulating within the company before the crossing, Xia Duo's mood suddenly became much heavier.

I don't know how long it has been since he traveled so long, on Earth? Is your hometown unified? Has it been revived? Has the kingdom of freedom been realized?

"Shado—"

Nia's soft call brought Shado's consciousness back to the present, and looking at Niya's concerned gaze, Shado was in a much better mood, he smiled, and then said:

"I'm fine, and the future will get better and better!"
