"Is motivation really that important?"

Dorothea had never thought about the development of society from this perspective, but after pondering for a while, she felt more and more that Xia Lin's words made sense:

"In that case, I will meet your needs and ask a few court archmages to come forward in the name of royalty to convince President Fermi Yinlan and President Flynn Kundel.

However, I can't guarantee how much the Mage Guild and the Alchemist Guild will be able to contribute, after all, the royal family has no direct relationship with these two guilds."

"Thank you Your Majesty for your support, that's enough!"

Once the magic motive has the support of the empress, Xia Lin can easily mobilize more mages to be responsible for the testing and establishment of the spell model, and more alchemists to be responsible for the production of the expected wand-shaped magic motive.

However, Xia Lin was not satisfied with this, and after talking about the research and development support of the magic motive, he said a little greedily:

"If you can, in addition to the magic motive, I also hope that Your Majesty will promote the joint research and development of several key projects in cooperation with the R&D Center and the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce, such as better alloy smelting, more powerful new explosives, new pottery, clocks, and so on."

"A new and more powerful explosive? Then I would say yes, but what good is the other projects? Can Viscount Charlin explain this to me in detail?"

As soon as Dorothea heard that Xia Lin planned to develop a new type of explosive with more power, she immediately paid attention to it, and almost immediately nodded her head in agreement, but she had no idea about the other projects that required a lot of manpower and capital research and development proposed by Xia Lin's words, and asked with a bit of exploration on her face with a blink of her eyes.

"Your Majesty, that's right.

Previously, the technicians of our Xinye Chamber of Commerce found in the smelting of the steel mill in Xinglan Industrial Park that the performance of steel has a great relationship with its composition.

The so-called alloy is the mixture of metals that I envisioned by adjusting the formula of steel in smelting, by mixing different other components into the molten steel.

This alloy has various properties depending on the composition, allowing us to use different types according to the needs of the time.

For example, the swords of the knights need rigidity, elasticity, toughness and sharpness, while the armor needs rigidity, high strength and low density.

As for the new type of pottery, it is a new type of ware that I wanted to develop based on pottery, and I have noticed in the pottery workshop that potters make some ware that looks and feels very smooth.

The sealing and acid resistance of this kind of pottery are quite good, and it is very useful in industrial production, but the performance of this kind of pottery is not quite enough to meet my needs, so I thought about whether I could further develop a new type of pottery with better performance on the basis of this kind of vessel, and I named this new type of pottery "ceramic" for the time being.

As for the clock, I envisioned a sundial-like chronograph that could be fixed by a mechanical escapement, so that it could accurately indicate the time without worrying about the weather."

Xia Lin explained in detail. These projects will play an extremely important role in the construction of the chemical system he wants to carry out next, and Xia Lin wants to use the power of the various guilds in Helgana to develop these things as soon as possible.

In addition to these things that are expected to be developed jointly with the R&D center and the craftsmen of the various guilds, Xia Lin is also preparing to start the production of glass with the technical strength of the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce.

The reason why the first few projects adopt joint research and development, and the glass adopts its own research and development, is naturally due to cost considerations.

Glass Xia Lin still remembers the detailed production flow chart and related process details, and for several other projects, he had only seen the general recipe of ceramics in his previous life, and the clock only knew that the most primitive clock was to use the escapement mechanism to complete the pendulum oscillation timekeeping.

The production process and process are specific

The internal structure and other details are not very well understood, and if you want to light up these technologies as soon as possible, you can only rely on a large amount of manpower and material investment.

The matter of funds is still easy to say in the Xinye Chamber of Commerce, but a large number of skilled craftsmen are not so easy to find, and Xia Lin proposed joint research and development in order to achieve his purpose of borrowing chickens and laying eggs.

"Sounds useful, but these things should require some capital investment, right? What is the way to work together?"

Dorothea immediately asked after hearing Xia Lin's explanation. Not to mention anything else, the "clock" that Xia Lin said can accurately time time regardless of the weather, Dorothea cares a lot.

The current precision timekeeping of the Sassen Empire is basically carried out by the sundial, which is a timekeeping tool on a sunny day, but it will basically lose its effectiveness on a rainy day, and if there is a timekeeping tool that is not affected by the weather, it will come in handy in many places, such as in the vital maritime field of the Sassen Empire.

"Of course, we need a lot of money, so after I propose this joint R&D plan, after these technologies are developed, the patent rights will be distributed according to the funds and technical forces provided by the three participants, and will not enter the conference allocation procedure according to the regulations of the alliance R&D center."

Xia Lin nodded affirmatively.

"And how much royalty can the royal family get from these things?"

Even if the funds brought by the national debt are counted, it is far from enough to satisfy the appetite of the three major armies, and Dorothea has to invest the share she originally obtained from the Star Blue Industrial Park and the funds accumulated by the industries under her royal name.

"If it's just the cooperation of manpower and policy, the royal family deserves a 30% share of the patent rights of these three new products."

Charin gave a rather large share, much to Dorothy's surprise:

"So many? What if I put some more money in?"

"One thousand gold lunents in exchange for one percent of the patent rights of a technology, and I can give up another twenty percent for Your Majesty. There will be no more, because the future industrial park will only need the cooperation of these industries to develop and grow."

"A thousand gold lunts?!"

Dorothea, still wearing the sky-blue gown she wore last night, was surprised to cover her delicate lips with her right hand, which was wearing white lace gloves.

After a short period of surprise, the gap between Xia Lin's front and back bids suddenly made Dorothea a little confused:

"Viscount Xia Lin, why am I able to obtain a thirty percent share of the patent right just by providing a nominal cooperation, but I need such a huge amount of money to achieve another achievement?"

"Because Your Majesty's current words can bring us a lot of manpower and convenience, and can speed up our research and development speed by several times, and this effect cannot be compared with other investors I expected.

But the amount of money required to develop these technologies is huge, and I expect that these technologies will bring us a lot of profits, so we will naturally have to sell the patent share at a good price."

Xia Lin explained, of course, this is also because Xia Lin wants to pull the royal family into his own interest alliance and try to maintain the stability of the external political environment of the Xinglan Industrial Park, as long as Empress Dorosia can profit from the industrial park and continue to support herself, Xia Lin will not have time to develop and grow.

"Is that so? Then I'll put in another 8,000 gold lundes!"

Dorosia thought for a moment, gritted her teeth and made a decision, anyway, the military expenses of the three major legions do not need to be allocated for a year at a time, if they are allocated quarterly, if the national bonds are successfully issued, plus the savings of the treasury, she can still have a lot of remaining funds in hand, rather than putting them there to be moldy, it is better to invest in Xia Lin's project.

"Thank you for the trust of Her Majesty the Empress, I will definitely develop these new products as soon as possible, so that you can enjoy a great reward!"

Xia Lin happily stood up and gave a noble salute to Empress Dorothea.
