In Magnay's office, Kayi sat across from Magnay.

Magnay pulled out a glass from a small box on the table, which contained a glass of orange-red juice with a layer of ice cream on top. Magnay scooped a mouthful of ice cream with a spoon, squinted his eyes for a while, and couldn't help nodding.

"The dessert you brought is good, but is there anything special about your little Xiaoice box?

Before Jia Yi came to Moshacher, he published a paper on refrigerators and air conditioners, but the cost of making them was not low, and the cost of using them was higher, so only some wealthy families or mages installed them in their homes, which was not unusual for Magnay.

So he felt a little strange when he saw Jia Yi coming to visit him with this Xiaoice box.

"This fridge is different. Jia Yi stopped the Xiaoice box, dragged out a wire from the back, and pressed it below, the bottom fell, which was a square metal plate, etched with simple magic patterns, without the kind of decorative patterns deliberately carved for beauty, the whole magic array was full of geometric beauty.

Of course, for some mages, it may be called monotonous.

"You are, add electricity?oh, you can still use both energy sources, and you can also use magic stones as an energy source, but your magic circle can not be designed very beautifully, some places are too circuitous, and streamlining it can reduce the difficulty of depiction, and you make the circle troublesome. ”

Magnay said and pointed to the center of the circle, and as he was talking, he suddenly paused, "No, with your level, such a clumsy circle shouldn't be shown to me. I heard that your printed rune board has been successful, so this one of you should be a printed rune board, right?"

The general magic circle, whether it is in the scroll or the magic props, is to follow the pattern of the portrayer when the magic power is penetrated, the pursuit is to complete it in one go, and ensure that the lines of the depicted circle are clear, the depth is consistent, and the lines are smooth. Jiayi's printing rune board has different requirements, he uses magic impact to instantly penetrate without before and after order, so the magic circle needs to be redesigned, adding a lot of balance modules that usually look unnecessary when portraying the magic circle.

"Your Excellency really deserves to be a legendary mage, you can guess it, this is the latest refrigerator designed by our studio, using the printing rune board to directly print the required magic circle, and also add the electric magic conversion circle, the power at home can directly use the socket, no need to install magic stones, it is cheaper. This is a portable model, the magic stone electricity is universal, we also have a home version, can only use electricity, cheaper, and there is also a basic version, cancel an air supply array inside, directly use the box to cool, the cheapest, is that there is a shortcoming, the freezer is easy to frost. ”

Among the several legendary mages that Jia Yi knew, Magnay had the best relationship with him and took the most care of him, so he brought it to Magnay as soon as he had results.

Magnay looked at the Xiaoice box and then at Jiayi: "You are attentive to these little things." But the hottest time is coming soon, and this refrigerator is just in time. How many rune plates can you make with the etching method you use now?"

"Although it takes four hours for a rune board to go from rough embryo to completion, an assembly line can go through a process every three minutes, and 20 pieces can be made in one hour. We're now working at night and we're able to make about 240 pieces a day. An assembly line requires 4 mage apprentices plus 6 ordinary workers, and the labor cost is about 20 times that of hiring a full-fledged mage. Of course, this is because they are still apprentices, and the wages will be higher in the future, but at most they are only one-fifth of a full mage. ”

Magnay was stunned, he didn't expect that the efficiency of this so-called printing rune board would be so high, and the labor cost was secondary, and this efficiency was not a little or two improvements, no wonder it was called a printing rune board, and it was really as fast as printing. And the labor cost is more than a fifth saved.

A mage engraving rune plate is at most four or five pieces a day, and carving a rune circle on a metal plate is much more troublesome than on a scroll, which not only consumes mana, but also consumes physical strength. In this way, even if a mage has five pieces a day, a rune board is counted as one-fifth of the cost of a mage per day, and a printed rune board is 240 pieces a day, and the labor is considered a mage in five, and the cost of that rune board is counted as one-fifth of a mage per day. The labor cost has dropped by 240 times, which is simply terrifying.

At this time, Magnay finally no longer regarded this technology as nothing, the labor cost of this magic prop accounted for a high proportion in the past, unless it was a particularly high-end prop, otherwise the labor cost was more than seventy percent, and now there is a printed rune board, plus the transformation of the assembly line, the cost can be reduced to almost one-fifth. Although the assembly line requires additional investment, there will be times when the mage engraving the rune board will fail to carve and the entire rune board will be abandoned, although this will also happen on the assembly line, but the probability is thousands of times lower.

"I originally thought you were just making a small fuss, but I didn't expect to really make a big deal for you, maybe what you said about letting magic go deep into your life can really be realized. Prepare if you have time during this time, and don't focus too much on these power-ups. ”

"What's wrong?"

"The council is going to build you a laboratory of your own, you can now think about how to set up your own laboratory, how to use it, and choose your own subject. You already have that qualification. ”

"Is the council really going to build me a lab?" Jia Yi looked at Magnay in surprise, he had thought that he would have to wait until he actually won an award, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"That's true, it won't be long before the council's executive committee will send someone to inform you, and with your current achievements, you can have your own separate laboratory long ago. Magnay said and suddenly sighed with emotion, "Originally, I saw the invention of the telegraph, and I had a lot of knowledge in electromagnetism, and I thought about accepting you as a student, but now it seems that it is no longer suitable, and I am a step late." ”

After glaring at Magnay to make sure he wasn't joking, he said, "If Your Excellency is willing to take me as a student, that's exactly what I wanted. ”

Magnay shook his head: "It was okay before you proposed the second law of thermodynamics, but now it is not appropriate, if I really take you as an apprentice, the Ice Witch of the Ice Castle must not run to Moshacher to fight me." Although I'm not afraid of her, women, have always been unreasonable, it's better not to provoke. ”

Magnay looked embarrassed, and he didn't know what had happened.

Jiayi's strength is nothing now, but because of his theoretical contribution to thermodynamics, he is almost the banner of thermodynamics, and if Magnay takes him as an apprentice now, it looks like he wants to take advantage of all thermodynamics.

In particular, the concept of absolute zero that he proposed has strengthened the power of the frost-based spells a lot, and the difficulty of releasing them has also decreased a lot.

The contribution of modern magic theory to magic is mainly reflected here, and through the summary of the theory, it makes spells easier to learn and more powerful. Many spells that previously required harsh conditions to cast were almost always down one or two minor levels after being backed up by a well-established theory.

Spells that require a peak white-robed mage to release are now likely to be released by a junior white-robed mage, and some spells have even dropped by a large level, and white-robed mages are able to release spells that previously required a purple-robed mage to release.

"When your lab is successfully formed, you can choose your own assistants, and I suggest you go to the academy and pick a few apprentices to take with you. Haven't you been teaching books at the academy for a while, pick a few talented ones to take with you. It's not the same as teaching with students, it's even different to be a good mage and teaching your own students, and it's good for you to experience more. ”
