Only by building, accumulating, and growing can we maximize efficiency.

Of course, this is only Xia Duo's current estimate, as the construction period progresses, maybe he has some new ideas, maybe he will increase the expenditure.

After all, the first floating city was built more for the purpose of experimentation, and it was certainly impossible to make it very perfect all at once.

In addition, there are different ways to do more money and less money.

Obviously, if you could replace all the places where you could use standard Mithril with high-grade Mithril, it would undoubtedly make Floating City perform better.

According to Xia Duo's current estimate, if it is a standard Mithril, it will cost at least about 100,000 pounds, but if it is a high-grade Mithril, the quantity may be less, but the price may be several times higher.

Although Xia Duo has now mastered the technique of refining high-grade Mithril, he has never thought of using high-grade Mithril to build it all.

He was only going to use high-grade Mithril at some critical nodes where energy was flowing at high frequency, thus reducing the rate at which elemental transmutation reactions occurred.

……

Soon, Chador, accompanied by Lord Rayson, visited the three-furnace workshop, and the finished product of this workshop was not standard Mithril, but [Silver Mithril] nuggets.

Although Lord Rayson didn't say anything about the refining process after that, Xia Duo was also the one who bought the color-resistant version of Mithril refining technology from Severton, and he knew very well that that step could be carried out in the Mage Tower, and it would be safer to do so.

In fact, even if it is an ordinary Mithril Mine, Xia Duo can be placed in the Mage Tower to refine it.

He obtained [Elemental Extraction] from the projection plane, which can be used to refine high-grade Mithril, and naturally it can also refine standard Mithril, but using this method to refine Mithril, the lower the purity of the sample, the greater the intermediate loss.

If you use ore to refine directly, it is likely that you will not be able to make ends meet.

On the contrary, it is not as cost-effective as just using it to refine high-grade Mithril, of course, if it is only used for emergencies, it is still very good.

……

After leaving the smelter, Shado and Rayson led them back to the Mage Tower, where they made a formal offer to purchase standard Mithril.

"I wonder how much Lord Xia Duo is going to buy?"

"About 200,000 pounds!"

"So much?!"

Lord Rayson's eyes widened suddenly, the monthly output of 500 pounds that he and Lord Xia Duo said just now did have reservations, but it was definitely not enough to be able to easily eat such a large order.

If you only calculate the current production capacity, this is simply the entire output for the next two decades!

Lord Rayson seemed to agree, but he still shook his head firmly, "Lord Saddo, it's not that I don't want to accept such an order, it's that I really can't do anything. Even if all the Rayson Territory's Mithril Mines are exhausted, it may not be able to smelt 200,000 pounds of standard Mythril, and if the quantity is smaller, the Thunderson Territory still has some accumulation, but if there are so many-"

"Lord Rayson, don't be busy refusing, of course this amount is not for you to take out at one time, even if you can take it out at one time, I can't afford to pay for this 200,000 pounds of standard Mithril, you can treat him as a long-term order."

The standard Mithril of 200,000 pounds was not a casual remark by Xia Duo, of course, but the result of careful consideration.

Rayson has the potential to become a Mithril smelter, and as a major consumer of Mithril in the future, it is naturally necessary for Xia Duo to cultivate upstream resource suppliers on his side.

Providing a steady stream of orders is undoubtedly a way to cultivate.

Before he came, he originally thought that it would be almost enough to order one or two thousand, and the rest could be handed over to the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, or other territories that have production standards of Mithril.

But after coming to the Rayson Domain, he noticed that the Thunderson Territory had begun to purchase foreign Mithril Ore and opened the road of resource integration, since this was the case, it was better to deepen the cooperation.

After all, the Grand Arcanist of Cliff behind Xia Duo and Rayson Leader can be regarded as a fateful friendship, and it is almost certain that Cliff, who is a believer in the Lord of Radiance, will not at least become his enemy in the future.

Of course, if Xodor becomes an enemy of the Lord of Radiance, then Cliff may be on his side.

Of course, this is possible, after all, he had argued with the Lord of Light at Midsummer last year, which led to the withdrawal of Leiden's divine grace.

The biggest philosophical disagreement between Xia Duo and the Lord of Radiance is whether the spirit of legislation is needed, and Xia Duo's view is of course that it is needed.

And the Lord of Radiance, although he didn't say if he wanted it or not, but judging from the teachings recognized by the other party, he obviously didn't think it was needed.

However, this philosophical divergence does not involve the core essence of the Lord of Radiance, and can even be understood as a positive extension of the idea of the Lord of Light.

As long as the other party is not lacking in heart, it is basically unlikely to be an enemy, at most, it is not in response to the call and perception of Xia Duo's related people.

And judging from the fact that the Holy Light of the Codex sculpture on the territory square is still there, at least not yet.

As for the future, it can only be taken one step at a time, and there is not much hostility anyway.

And now, Xia Duo can also rest assured that he can cooperate with Lord Rayson in Cliff's camp.

……

For such a long-term order, Lord Rayson will undoubtedly not refuse, he produces so much Mithril, he will definitely not use it for his own use, if he doesn't sell it, do you still want to keep laying eggs?

Now the only problem is the purchase price.

However, before talking about the price, Xia Duo took out a measuring magic device that used the Great Xia standard weights and measures, which was of course unencrypted, in order to facilitate other mages to learn relevant measurement spells and achieve the purpose of promotion.

"Lord Rayson, if you can, I want our transactions to be calculated using the Tower of Time meter."

"The measurement standard of the Tower of Time?"

Lord Rayson glanced at the magic item that Xia Duo put on the table, he had lost his ability to cast spells, and it was naturally impossible for his magic vision to continue to exist, but in the mage tower, he was still able to use the mage tower to make some simple judgments.

He could see that the magic item was supposed to be a measuring artifact, and that was fine, but he was skeptical about accepting the standards of the Tower of Time.

After all, if the Cliff camp doesn't use the Radiance Standard, it is indeed a bit unusual.

Xia Duo saw Lord Rayson's embarrassment, but he didn't insist, but put away the measuring artifact, "If Lord Rayson is embarrassed, then I didn't mention it." ”

tomato

In fact, he believed that the high order and logic of weights and measures according to the Great Xia standard were more likely to be favored by the Lord of Radiance, and he was ready to let Leiden "dedicate" it on this year's Midsummer Festival.

The Lord of Radiance may not care about the spirit of the legislation, but he cares about the law itself, and weights and measures are undoubtedly law, order, and are clearly superior to the Radiant Standard.

Shado speculated that even if the Lord of Light did not send down an oracle to change the standards of weights and measures, it would at least allow the priests to perceive the default permission.

In this way, it may not be difficult for Rayson's side to accept it.

At that time, it may be those organizations, forces, and camps that do not worship the Lord of Radiance who will choose to resist the Great Xia standard for various reasons.

Gains and losses are sometimes reversed back and forth.
