Chapter 1662 - Establishing a Contract, Functional Platform
"Yes, yes!" Lord Rayson hurriedly shouted.
He was so excited just now that he almost forgot about this, he actually cared more about this rough refining furnace transformation plan than the airship.
"Still, let's make a contract first, and then let's talk about this plan!"
With the previous airship plan as the foundation, Lord Rayson no longer doubts whether Xia Duo can come up with a rough refining furnace transformation plan, and has already let the other party say a plan first, and he can't take advantage of it anymore.
Make a contract before this matter can be truly determined.
"Yes."
Xia Duo didn't object, although he didn't think that Lord Rayson would go back, but it was more in his interest to make a contract first, but-
"Regarding the content of the contract, I think it needs to be adjusted!"
"Tweaked?" Lord Rayson's face changed, as if he thought of the possibility of the other party lowering the price again, and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice, "I don't know what Lord Xia Duo wants to adjust?" ”
"The price, the standard Mithril of 300 gold coins a pound, can certainly cover most of the cost, but this does not achieve a win-win goal, I think 350 gold coins a pound is more reasonable."
"It's a price increase?!" Lord Rayson was amazed.
And then, Xia Duo continued: "Considering the fluctuation of the price of Mithril, and according to my speculation, the price of Mithril may increase in the future, and the cost may also increase, I think it is also in line with the purpose of negotiating once a year for both parties. ”
What Xia Duo needs is a reliable partner who can work together for a long time, not a one-time trading partner.
If he is bent on lowering the price, he may be able to take advantage of a lot in the short term, but after this order, can he continue to cooperate?
Even if we can cooperate, it will only make the resentment grow deeper.
Xia Duo walked the royal road, not domineering, and valued public welfare rather than self-interest.
Although this start is strong, but the luck is long, just like his hometown, although the inheritance has been broken repeatedly, there are always people with lofty ideals to continue it, which undoubtedly also has the role of the royal concept.
In modern times, in one sentence, it is "representing the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people."
Cooperation is naturally a win-win situation, rather than one person winning twice, and the so-called "more help for the righteous, less help for the unjust" can also be used here.
Lord Rayson didn't expect that Xia Duo would not only raise the price, but also give a relaxed condition for bargaining once a year, which made him a little unsure of what to say, and he held back a sentence for a long time:
"Lord Shado, you are such a special person!"
Although he wasn't sure what Lord Xia Duo was doing this, whether it was for a win-win situation as the other party said, at least at this moment, he thought that Lord Xia Duo was a very trustworthy and suitable person to cooperate!
Next, in a friendly atmosphere, the two parties completed the signing of the order agreement.
……
"By the way, Lord Saddo, I don't know what the use of you buying so much Mithril is? Of course, if it's inconvenient, I didn't ask. ”
"I'm going to build a new mage tower, and the other is the consumption of the Tower of Time."
Xia Duo is not lying, he really wants to build a mage tower, seeing that this month is almost over, and on the fourth day of next month, the Northland Demon Restriction Treaty will come into effect.
And his floating city hasn't even built a flight control system yet, of course, if he rushes, he can still drag the floating city out of the [blue crystal plane] before the fourth of next month.
But why bother?
Anyway, no matter how you rush it, it will definitely not be able to complete it all, and it is better to wait until it is completely completed than to drag it out to attract attention now.
The other is the problem of Mithera.
The one in the current Azurite Plane is an experimental type, and of course it can be used in the Floating City, but in that case, it will inevitably affect the subsequent arcane crystallization output.
And the output of the Arcane Crystallization is related to the efficiency of building [Mithera].
In that case, it would be better to build a few [Mithera] devices first, so that they can be used as backup energy centers in the Floating City, and will not affect the subsequent arcane energy crystallization output, but will increase it.
Anyway, there are a lot of things, and it will definitely not be possible to pull the floating city out before the fourth of next month.
However, the capacity of the Tower of Time is close to its limit, and a new batch of apprentices will be recruited at Midsummer Festival at the end of next month, which will require a new place to house them.
Of course, the new Mage Tower that Xia Duo wanted was not just to house new apprentices, but an important part of the Floating City.
In Shado's design, there will also be a number of floating platforms on the periphery of the spherical floating city, which will serve as a functional platform for outsiders to temporarily dock, inspect, or install attack weapons.
The mage tower he is going to build now is used to tow and anchor these floating platforms, which is also quite different from the normal mage tower.
To sum it up, it can be summed up as a single function, low cost, and simple to build.
However, it is also possible to occasionally modify a special traction tower with some of the functions of a normal Mage Tower, especially in this case.
For Xia Duo's explanation, Lord Rayson didn't have any doubts, after all, the mage tower that met the identity of the Great Arcanist did consume a lot, and the reputation of the Tower of Time communication magic weapon, he often heard about it in Rayson Lord.
It's also completely understandable to buy more Mithril and use it as a strategic reserve.
……
Leaving the Rayson Territory, the sense of resource crisis that had been lingering in Xia Duo's heart finally retreated, and as long as there were no accidents, the first floating city should be stable.
After returning to Severton.
Xia Duo began to prepare for his trip to the Kieran Tower in two days, which was as simple as making a culture vessel with cloning attached.
Whether it was in the projection plane or in the Tower of Time, he had done more than one before, and he could be regarded as experienced.
However, what to do after returning to the south needs to be carefully planned, this trip has taken a bit long, beyond his original plan.
The first is the Mage Tower, because it is built on the main plane, it needs to complete most of the supermagic operations before the Northland Demon Restriction Treaty takes effect.
Of course, overtime is not too important, it is nothing more than to consume his small share of super magic, and he will have to settle this account with the elves sooner or later.
Secondly, it is not without benefit that this trip takes a long time, at least the output of the arcane crystals on the side of the azurite plane has not stopped, and when he returns, he will almost be able to make the [Mithera] device at the same time.
As for the construction of the flight control system, this is a big project, and it is no simpler than building the [Mithera] device.
But its main trouble is not in the final casting phase, but in the previous part of arranging the Mithril components, and this part can actually ask for help from Nia, Abbeck and others.
For Xia Duo people, it is much easier.
