When Xiao Yan heard this plan, he first felt that it was feasible, and then quickly shook his head.
"I have indeed thought of this possibility before. Refining the essence of medicinal materials does not necessarily require the participation of an alchemist. In theory, as long as the control is proper, some low-level medicinal materials can be extracted without even a fighter-level cultivation.
.
Using already refined medicinal materials can indeed greatly improve the effect of refining medicine. It can at least shorten the time of refining medicine by half, and because you save your own energy, the success rate of refining medicine will also increase.
However, the refined medicinal essence will gradually lose its medicinal power after losing the protection of the medicinal material itself. The longer it is stored, the more medicinal power will be lost. If a shell is specially designed for it to protect the medicinal power from being lost, the cost will be high.
It’s too high, and the gain outweighs the loss.”
When Lan Nuo heard this question, a smile appeared on his face. He took out a bottle of alcohol, opened the mouth of the bottle, dipped a drop of it with his finger, smeared a circle on the table, and then faced it
The trace of alcohol in the circle blew lightly.
I saw that in an instant, the alcohol smeared on the table evaporated.
"The essence extracted from ordinary medicinal materials is like alcohol smeared on the table. Naturally, it will dissipate completely in just a moment, but what if this is the case?"
Lan Nuo poured the alcohol into an open cup and then placed it on the scale. After a while, he didn't see much deviation in the pointer of the scale.
Xiao Yan was thoughtful when he saw this scene: "The contact area between the alcohol previously applied on the table and the alcohol contained in the cup and the air is almost the same, so the rates at which they evaporate into the air are also similar.
of.
I seem to understand a little bit what you mean. The best way to protect the essence of medicinal materials from being lost is not the carefully refined protective shell, but the essence of the medicinal materials themselves.
Even without a protective shell, as the volume of medicinal materials increases, the surface area in contact with air and the rate of increase in volume are also different. The former increases with the square of the diameter, while the latter increases with the cube of the diameter, so at the same time
The greater the amount of stored medicinal essence, the smaller the proportion of loss. This is really an unprecedented idea.
And according to this idea, the larger the protective case, the higher the cost performance. If it is huge enough to have a capacity of several cubic meters, it will be worth specially refining. It’s interesting. I can use the knowledge in my mind to help
You designed a plan for refining the protective shell of medicinal essences, but since I am unable to practice it myself, the feasibility of this plan can only be tested by you yourself."
Xiao Yan felt the joy of alchemy for the first time in a long time. This was a path he had never tried before, but it seemed very promising.
"More than that, I am also planning to standardize the medicinal essence extracted from various medicinal materials. The properties of many medicines are similar, and although some of their additional characteristics can play some unexpected roles in the process of refining medicine,
More often than not, it causes trouble to alchemists and makes the process of integrating medicines difficult.
Therefore, I hope that when formulating the essence of medicine, these additional characteristics will be removed directly during the refining process. Although a certain amount of medicinal power will be lost, under the premise of standardizing various medicines, the difficulty of making alchemy will be greatly reduced.
What pharmacists need to face will be greatly reduced in adapting to changes. Most of the time, they will just follow the steps and repeatedly practice the refining of a medicinal material. As their proficiency is continuously improved, the success rate and efficiency will also be greatly improved.
I even considered dividing the medicine refining into different steps and letting some pharmacists specialize in refining the medicine at a certain stage. Storing these medicines in large quantities can also reduce the rate of medicine loss, thus reducing the number of medicine refining steps.
If the steps are separated, each step will become very simple and very easy to master. The total time required to refine an elixir may be reduced to one-tenth or even shorter than it is now.
Just like extracting the essence of medicinal materials can be done by people who are not alchemists, the final step of making elixirs can also be done by people who are not alchemists. Just distributing these two steps can save at least three
In half the time, coupled with the improvement in proficiency caused by separating the steps, it is entirely possible to increase the efficiency by ten times."
Xiao Yan looked at the information in front of him, which showed the basic extraordinary structures corresponding to different types of medicinal materials, as well as the simplified structures of these extraordinary structures, and finally nodded.
"You can try this. At least your method doesn't have much problem in theory, but no one has ever organized such a large number of alchemists to participate in large-scale production before.
With your current production scale, if you want to ensure that there is enough medicinal liquid to avoid the loss of medicinal properties, you will need at least three digits of alchemists. Although the number of low-level alchemists is indeed not that scarce, if you want to hire them, you will need at least three digits of alchemists.
It also requires 30,000 gold coins a month. If you hire 300 first- or second-grade alchemists, you will have to spend tens of millions of gold coins a month. You must know that tens of millions of gold coins are enough to buy a very powerful low-level earth-level book.
Fighting skills." When Xiao Yan participated in the auction in the Black Corner Domain, a local low-level Sanqian Leidong only sold 10 million gold coins at the auction. This was because Sanqian Leidong was among the earth-level and earth-level techniques.
It is quite a powerful type, and the Earth-level intermediate skill Shadow Skill that was subsequently auctioned sold for 9 million.
"I can barely come up with 10 million yuan in working capital now. The biggest problem is not actually the problem of money, but the difficulty in gathering so many alchemists in a short period of time. I at least have to gather alchemists from the entire desert.
It takes 300 low-level alchemists to gather together, and the purchase of medicinal materials itself also requires a lot of money. My current foundation is probably only enough for me to make this big gamble." Lan Nuo couldn't help but sigh, even if his plan
It has gone through countless feasibility studies, but without practice, it is really difficult to determine whether it will succeed. If a large amount of money is spent to recruit alchemists, but the refining fails or the capital chain is broken, not only will there be losses.
I have lost all my money, and I am afraid I will still owe a huge sum of money, so I have no choice but to run away with my sister-in-law.
"You don't have to look at me. I don't have any money on me. Those precious medicinal materials and precious elixirs that I refined before were either given to my old subordinates or used up when I was being hunted. And you
You don't expect me to be a black account now and have money in the account, right?" Xiao Yan rolled his one eye.
Lan Nuo is also very confused now. If he was the only one, then he would definitely bet this time without hesitation. With his ability, it would be a true return of a thousand pieces of gold, only 10 million.
Let him change places and give him another year to recruit people, and he can still make money.
But he can't run away now. There are countless people waiting for his surgery. Motie Mining Company is related to the problem of feeding tens of thousands of people. If he really runs away, it will cause serious social problems. With him
You cannot do this kind of thing if you have no sense of social responsibility.
"The biggest trouble is that it is difficult to recruit so many alchemists in a short period of time. If we cannot recruit a sufficient number, we will not be able to start work. If we cannot start work, we will not be able to recover the cost. It is equivalent to raising them in vain. Although I can give them
They assigned some alchemy tasks to recover a certain cost, but overall they must be losing money. After all, if we don't offer them higher wages than their previous income, it's impossible to poach them. If we don't participate,
In large-scale production, the value they can create is definitely not as good as the wages I pay them."
Xiao Yan heard his student's distress, thought for a moment, tapped his fingers on the table and said: "I really have a solution to your problem. Your biggest problem now is actually the problem of connections, right? You have to hire alchemists one by one.
Pharmacists can only recruit manpower in the years and months of the monkey. Before that, they were purely losing money.
Then if someone can help you gather enough alchemists at one time and start work immediately, enough output can be produced within a month, which will naturally make up for the shortfall in funds. Even if they cannot help you gather enough
The alchemist can provide you with enough loans to support you through the most difficult initial stage and solve the problem."
Lan Nuo nodded: "If there is such a person, it can indeed solve my current troubles, but where can I find such a person? For Dou Qi Continent, I am a mere four-year-old child who is not familiar with the place, let alone
I have many connections. Before I came to this desert, I didn’t know many people. As for the teacher’s connections, are you sure they are not being hunted by heaven now?”
There was inevitably a look of embarrassment on old Xiao Yan's face. After the Tianfu Alliance was stabbed in the back by Tianting, they were indeed being hunted everywhere. Most of his old friends were not living a good life now, and there were really few who could help him.
Busy.
"Although most of my old friends are either being hunted or have betrayed me, there are still some trustworthy people who have taken refuge in Heaven on the surface, but are actually still secretly helping us," Xiao Yan said.
He couldn't help but recall the beauty he met by chance in the auction house when he was still a young boy from Wutan City.
The woman who is obviously about the same age as herself, but shows a mature and elegant temperament. Even though she is nearly sixty years old, she still has the same style, and she still controls the economic lifeline of the entire Gamma Empire.
"Ya Fei, you should have heard of her. Take my token to find her, and she will provide you with the help you need. Although after the defeat of the Tianfu Alliance, she immediately chose to seek refuge in Heaven.
But in fact, for us old guys who are on the run, she basically provides all the funds for our activities. Her current situation may not be very good, but she should still have some appeal."
Xiao Yan mentioned Ya Fei, and Lan Nuo immediately thought of this character who appeared in the early days of "Fights Break the Sphere". Ya Fei did not have much talent in cultivation, and her subsequent achievements depended on her own business and management.
Ability, to a certain extent, there is a considerable overlap between her ability and Lan Nuo, both of them belong to the kind of roles with full logistics. And if she joins Heavenly Court and is willing to serve as an undercover agent in Heavenly Court, then win her over
Not only can his help help him complete his plan this time, but there will definitely be considerable room for cooperation between the two parties in the future.
Thinking of this, Lan Nuo also decided to go to Yafei in person. This time, Hu Jiaming went with him as his guardian. It was really too troublesome for a child's body to do many things, but the young one
His body is very suitable for cultivation, but he is not willing to use hormone drugs to make his body grow too fast.
If it weren't for this young body, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate from a one-star fighter to a nine-star fighter in just one year.
This time, the two of them went to the Imperial City of the Gama Empire, where Yafei was stationed and in charge of the finances of the Gama Empire. Compared with her previous power in the Tianfu Alliance, this had shrunk by more than a hundred times, but this was also
There was nothing she could do about it. After all, she had surrendered. Even if she was among the first batch of rebels, her trust was limited and she could only work her way up from the bottom. If it weren’t for her great financial ability, she might not even have surrendered.
None of the qualifications.
…
In an elegant courtyard in the Imperial City of the Gamma Empire, a woman wearing a red dress with no makeup on her face was facing two powerful men in white with a cold expression.
One of the older men in white sneered and said: "Don't be so businesslike with us. Heaven only takes you in because of your ability. However, the financial income of the Gamma Empire in the past few years is...
But it fell far short of our expectations!
The Golden Queen who was once famous in the mainland would not only have this level of ability, right? Or, the financial income of the Gamma Empire has been quietly misappropriated by you to other places." At this point, the tone of the man in white has already become dangerous.
At the same time, she released the strong pressure of the Dou Zong level. Facing this pressure, the woman who relied on the elixir to be forcibly promoted to the Dou Huang level suddenly turned pale and couldn't help but take a step back, but she still said coldly:
"The Gamma Empire's annual fiscal revenue is 10% higher than that of its neighboring countries. I will also hand over all of this fiscal revenue. I think you two are looking for trouble because you didn't get any kickbacks!"
"Should you hand it all over? How capable are you, the Golden Queen? We all know in our hearts, Madam... If you don't want to expose the embezzlement of public funds, please hand over an additional five percent of this year's fiscal revenue.
We, I don’t care where you come from with this money, but as long as the money is in our hands, we can help you cover it up.”
After saying that the Douzong-level aura was withdrawn, the two heavenly envoys also turned and left, leaving only Ya Fei with cold sweat on her back: "There are only the last two months of this year, and the five percent of the fiscal revenue, I
Is it really necessary to deduct funds from supporting the remnants of the Tianfu Alliance? But the situation of Xiao Yan and the others..."
At this moment, a maid opened the door, and a familiar white jade plaque was held in her hand: "Ms. Yafei, a visitor said that he wanted to give this token to you, saying that you saw this token.
