"Is the cost of Pony One a total of 93 gold and 34 silver mar? It's a real headache."

Xia Lin had already expected the cost of the magic car, but the high price calculated on the report submitted by the dwarf master still made Xia Lin a little helpless, if the magic car was produced at this cost, the magic car would only be a toy for the nobles and big merchants at the banquet, and it would not play the role of changing people's travel conditions as promised by Xia Lin to Her Majesty the Empress.

"Boss Xia Lin, out of the cost of these 93 gold lunents and 34 silver mar, 81 gold lunt and 24 silver mar are the cost of six magic motiles, if you can reduce the cost of the magic motive, we will definitely not have a problem mass-producing this magic car!"

The dwarven master named Farr Bluehand eagerly stroked the hood of Pony One, clearly interested in the magic car that could run without the need for a horse.

"I also want to reduce the cost of the Demon Motive, but we don't have much to do at the moment."

In response to Master Farr's expectations, Xia Lin rubbed his fluffy chin with his fingers and replied a little helplessly.

Recently, he seems to have ushered in a period of development, but in just half a month, his height has grown by two centimeters, and the beard on his chin has gradually emerged, but at present, he is still the soft beard of a teenager, and it feels quite tactile to the touch anyway, so Xia Lin is too lazy to clean up.

Xia Lin has several ideas for reducing the cost of magic motives, but the current situation of each of them is not very mature, one of which is to reduce the magic consumption by upgrading the magic motive and increasing the power of the magic motive, so that fewer magic motives can play a greater role in reducing costs.

If the Mage Guild and the Alchemist Guild were to participate in the upgrading of the Demon Motive, I believe that they would soon be able to gain something, but Xia Lin listed the Demon Motive as one of his core secrets, so how could he be willing to share this hard-won result with the Mage Guild and the Alchemist Guild.

Not to mention, if the Spin Technique appeared in front of the mages, it would attract a lot of attention, and at the moment Xia Lin has not made public the idea of the Luna-Karl rune connection theory.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Lin felt that he had to start with other ideas, such as reducing the most critical part of the cost of the magic motive, that is, the cost of steel and magic copper.

At present, the market price of Hurgana steel has been maintained at the price of 4 silver mar 49 copper bias a kilogram, if you want to reduce it further, you can only wait quietly for the imperial coal and iron joint company to complete the construction of the coal and iron complex in the steel ridge valley, and then with these cheap pig iron sources, the price of steel can be further reduced.

As for magic copper, Xia Lin didn't have copper ore at hand and couldn't interfere with the magic copper market, but he felt that it was possible to solve this problem from another aspect, that is, to turn ordinary copper into magic copper through alchemy.

Alchemy, like magic, is a mysterious system with a long history and a long history, with all kinds of incredible abilities, and the greatest goal of alchemists is to solve the mysteries of gold and adamantite, silver and mythril, and complete the process of refining pure gold and mythril.

Although this ultimate goal has not been achieved for thousands of years, there is already a specific method for refining magic copper on a small scale, but refining magic copper is obviously not as convenient as mining magic copper directly from copper ore, and those alchemical potions that convert copper metal into magic copper are more expensive than the value of magic copper itself.

Xia Lin felt that he could start from the aspect of alchemy to see if he could find a cheaper and more common way to convert metal copper into magic copper, so as to reduce the cost of magic motives.

In addition, there is the problem of the Mithril shield that the magic motive currently uses to keep out the corrosion of the magic liquid, and if a cheaper material than Mithril can achieve the same effect, the cost of the magic motive will be greatly reduced.

However, due to various conditions, Xia Lin could not quickly complete a breakthrough with these ideas, so he told Master Farr that there was no way to reduce the cost of the magic motive at present.

"That's a shame!"

Master Farr said as he looked at the Pony One, who had been born under his hands.

"Although the cost of the Pony One can't be reduced yet, the cost of the magic liquid is still a little lower

Hopefully. And the Magic Pony No. 1 may not be able to receive orders, you must know that those nobles and big businessmen who have a lot of money are still very keen on things that can be in the limelight, so Master Farr does not have to worry that your magic car team will be canceled."

Xia Lin handed back the production summary report in his hand to a young employee of the Magic Motion Automobile team, and said meaningfully, his idea was naturally the same, that is, to reduce the price of magic stones, so as to reduce the cost of magic energy liquid, if he wanted to achieve this, he must let Her Majesty the Empress see the value and prospects of magic motives, and give him enough support.

Master Farr continued to preside over the Magic Car Team of the Machine Shop to solve the small problems he found in driving, and by the way, he tried to do as much work as possible on the appearance.

Xia Lin drove the Magic Horse No. 1 to the office building of the industrial park, and asked people to find Terry, the editor-in-chief of the "Imperial Capital Daily", and he took out the drawing tablet, found a suitable angle, and began to trace the shape of the Magic Horse No. 1 with a pencil.

The role of this white drawing is naturally used in the "Imperial Capital Daily" to let people have a more intuitive understanding of the Magic Horse No. 1, Gutenberg printing press can not only print pre-typeset text, but also for the printing of pictures is not a problem, but the printing of engraved pictures requires skilled plate-making workers, and the cost is high, usually the newspaper will not be specially accompanied by pictures for a report.

When Terry Elton hurriedly came to the industrial park with two capable newspaper reporters, Xia Lin, who had already completed the white drawing, let them sit on the magic horse No. 1 and personally drove them around the industrial park a few times.

"How? Editor-in-Chief Terry, and these reporters, are you confident that you will get the word out about the Magic Pony One, an unprecedented magic car?"

In the amazement of the three of them, Xia Lin patted the front cover of the Demon Horse One and asked them.

"Anya is on top! Boss, I think this magic car that can drive on its own without a horse is definitely worth a headline tomorrow!"

Editor-in-chief Terry sat in the co-pilot, watching Xia Lin operate the whole process, and was full of praise for the Magic Horse One, which can drive freely with the driver's intentions, if it wasn't for Xia Lin to explain that driving the magic car requires certain skills, he would have tried to practice it a long time ago, and when he heard Xia Lin's question, he immediately gave an affirmative answer excitedly.

"Tomorrow? I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow, tomorrow is the day when the new army will go out to fight the rebels, and your headlines can only be that thing, and I want to book the headlines the day after tomorrow!"

Charling thought for a moment and rejected Terry's idea, then added:

"However, at present, the cost of this magic car is still relatively expensive, a magic horse 1 costs 93 and a half gold lundes, and the price is at least 100 gold lunents......

When you advertise me, set the price at one hundred and fifty gold lundes! As for the magic energy liquid, about eighty silver mars can be used to run the Pony One for an hour, and you will also make it clear in the report when the time comes."

"One hundred and fifty gold lundes?"

Even if the editor-in-chief Terry had been running the "Imperial Capital Daily" for a long time, he didn't expect that the Demon Pony No. 1 would be so expensive, not to mention that eighty silver mar's magic energy liquid could make the Moju No. 1 run for an hour, and his mouth suddenly opened wide in horror.

"Boss, at this price, will anyone really come to buy it?"

"I didn't expect to sell a few units, mainly to use the "Imperial Capital Daily" to promote the magic car, if you want people to accept the changes of the times, you have to do it gradually, in short, you can report it according to my requirements!"

Xia Lin smiled indifferently and explained his request to Editor-in-Chief Terry.

The purpose of his propaganda is to cultivate the people's ability to accept the technological revolution in the future, and at the same time to see if they can provide some orders for the current Magic Motion project, so that the Magic Motion team can continue to improve the technology of the Magic Motion in production. As for how many Moju No. 1 can be sold, it is not within his consideration.
