Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1650 Cultivating Upstream Differences of Ideas
Only by building, accumulating, and growing can the efficiency be maximized.

Of course, this is only Xia Duo's current estimate. As the construction period progresses, he may have some new ideas, which may increase the expenditure.

After all, the first floating city was built more for experimental purposes, and it is certainly impossible to create a perfect one all at once.

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

Obviously, if all places that can use standard Mithril can be replaced with high-grade Mithril, it will undoubtedly improve the performance of the Floating Void City.

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

Although Xia Duo has now mastered the technology of refining high-grade mithril, he never thought of using all high-grade mithril for construction.

He only plans to use high-grade Mithril at some key nodes where energy flows at a high frequency, so as to reduce the rate of element transmutation reactions.

……

Soon, Xia Duo visited the three-furnace workshop accompanied by Lord Leisen. The finished products produced by this workshop were not standard Mithril, but [Silver Mithril] agglomerated.

Although Lord Leisen didn't say anything about the subsequent refining process, Xia Duo was also the one who bought the Nethercolor version of Mithril refining technology from Severton. more insurance.

In fact, even ordinary mithril mines can be refined in the mage tower by Xia Duo.

He obtained [Element Extraction] from the projected plane, which can be used to refine high-grade Mithril, and naturally can also be used to refine standard Mithril. However, the lower the purity of the sample, the greater the intermediate loss.

If it is directly refined with ore, it is likely to be unable to make ends meet.

Instead, it would be more cost-effective to only use it to refine high-grade Mithril. Of course, if it is only used for emergency, it is still very good.

……

After leaving the smelting workshop, Xia Duo and Lei Sen led them back to the mage tower, where Xia Duo formally proposed to the other party to purchase standard Mithril.

"I wonder how much Lord Xiaduo plans to purchase?"

"About 20 pounds!"

"so much?!"

Lord Leisen's eyes widened immediately. The monthly production of 500 pounds that he and Lord Xiaduo said just now did have reservations, but it is definitely not possible to easily accept such a large order.

If only the current production capacity is used to calculate, this will simply cover all the production in the next 20 years!

Lord Leisen seemed to agree, but he still shook his head firmly, "Lord Xiaduo, it's not that I don't want to accept such an order, but that I really can't do anything about it. Even if all the mithril mines in Leisenland are mined, it may not be possible. It can smelt 20 pounds of standard Mithril, if the amount is less, the Leisen Territory still has some accumulation, but if there are so many—”

"Lord Leisen, don't rush to refuse. 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 the 20 pounds of standard mithril. You can treat him as a standing order."

The sudden quotation of 20 pounds of standard mithril was of course not a casual remark by Xia Duo, but the result of careful consideration.

Leisen possesses the potential to become a major mithril smelter, and Xia Duo, as a large mithril consumer in the future, naturally needs to cultivate upstream resource suppliers on his own side.

Providing stable orders is undoubtedly a way of cultivation.

Before coming, he originally thought that it would be enough to order [-] to [-] yuan, and the rest could be handed over to the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, or other territories that produce standard Mithril.

But after coming to Leisenling, he noticed that Leisenling had already started to purchase foreign mithril mines and started the road of resource integration. Since this is the case, it is better to deepen cooperation.

After all, Xia Duo and Cliff, the great arcanist behind Leisenling, are a deadly friendship, and it is basically certain that Cliff, who is a believer in the Lord of Radiance, will at least not become his enemy in the future.

Of course, if Xia Duo becomes the enemy of the Lord of Radiance, then Cliff may be on his opposite side.

Of course, this situation is possible. After all, at Midsummer Festival last year, he had argued with the Lord of Radiance, which resulted in Leiden's divine favor being withdrawn.

The biggest ideological difference between Xia Duo and the Lord of Radiance is whether the spirit of legislation is needed, and Xia Duo's point of view is of course necessary.

As for the Lord of Radiance, although he didn't say whether he wanted it or not, judging from the teachings recognized by the other party, he obviously didn't think it was necessary.

However, this difference in concept does not involve the core essence of the Lord of Radiance, and can even be understood as a positive extension of the concept of the Lord of Radiance.

As long as the opponent is not short-sighted, it is basically unlikely to be an enemy. At most, he will not respond to the call perception of Xia Duo's related people.

Judging from the still light of the Codex sculpture on the Territory Square, at least it hasn't developed to that point yet.

As for the future, we can only take one step at a time. Anyway, there is little possibility of hostility.

And now, Xia Duo can rest assured to cooperate with Lord Leisen in Cliff's camp.

……

For such a long-term order, Lord Leisen will undoubtedly not refuse. He produces so much Mithril, and he will definitely not be able to use it for his own use. If he does not sell it to the outside world, should he keep it for laying eggs?
The only question now is the purchase price.

However, before discussing the price, Xia Duo took out a measuring instrument using Daxia standard weights and measures. Of course, this instrument is not encrypted, in order to facilitate other mages to learn related measuring spells and achieve the purpose of promotion.

"Lord Leisen, if possible, I hope that our transaction will be calculated using the measurement standard of the Tower of Time."

"The measurement standard of the Tower of Time?"

Lord Leisen glanced at the magic item that Xiaduo put on the table. He lost the ability to cast spells, and the magic vision naturally couldn't continue to exist, but in the mage tower, he could still use the mage tower to make some simple research and judgments. of.

He could see that the magic item should be a measuring instrument, which was no problem, but he still had doubts about whether to accept the standard of the Tower of Time.

After all, if Cliff's camp doesn't use the standard of glory, it's really a bit outrageous.

Xia Duo saw Lord Leisen's embarrassment, so he didn't insist on it, but put away the measuring instrument, "If Lord Leisen is in a dilemma, then pretend I didn't mention it."

In fact, he believes that the high degree of order and logic measured by the Great Xia standard is more likely to be favored by the Lord of Radiance, and he plans to let Layton "dedicate" it on Midsummer Festival this year.

The Lord of Radiance may not care about the spirit of the legislation, but he cares about the law itself. Weights and measures are undoubtedly law and order, and they are obviously better than the standard of Radiance.

Xia Duo speculated that even if the Lord of Radiance did not issue an oracle to change the standards of weights and measures, at least the priests would be able to perceive the default permission.

In this way, it may not be difficult for Lei Sen to accept it.

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

Gains and losses are sometimes reversed back and forth.
