Chapter 100 No money for research? Mountain cable car project!
The Meteor was driving slowly on the Felice winding mountain road.
Well, it's definitely not for motivation reasons.
It's because instructor Lewis said that if you dare to use that weird turning method again, you're going to get knocked on the head.
"Teacher Lewis, is there any new research coming from Magic Construction Society?" Looking at mentor Lewis in the rearview mirror, he said, "I want to do some research of my own."
"Actually, after the study of the Meteor, the research of the Magic Society has stopped." Instructor Lewis said afterward.
"Stopped? Why?" I said a little strangely.
"Because the research on the Meteor has invested most of the Magic Society's funds." Peter interrupted.
"Is it because I made this car?" I tilted my head.
I don't seem to have wasted any materials. The raw materials are all ready-made, and the magic core is also provided by myself.
"The car designed by Tutor Louis is the one you dismantled for raw materials." Peter snickered. "Teacher Louis was reluctant to dismantle it and sell it. In the end, it was cheaper for you, haha...
Tutor Lewis, I was wrong!”
The talkative Peter was beaten by Mentor Louis, well, the legendary Mentor Louis' corrective punch.
"Is it because of funding issues?" I tilted my head and thought for a moment. "What are the sources of funding for the Magic Building Society?"
"The operating income of the magic locomotive and the salary of tutor Louis." Peter calculated silently and said. "About 150 gold coins a month."
"So little? Isn't it true that one month's income can't even afford a magic core?" I said a little surprised. "Also, mentor Lewis's salary can also be considered as a source of funds for the Magic Creation Society?"
"The Magic Society can be said to have been founded by mentor Louis. Mentor Louis put a lot of effort into this." Peter looked at mentor Louis sitting next to him and said.
Instructor Lewis sighed and turned his gaze out the window.
"I can take out 00 gold coins for the time being, but it's not cost-effective to just throw them in for research." I lowered my head and calculated, and then said. "I will go back and think about it tonight, and then we will make a plan together tomorrow.
make money!"
There is no reason why something with such high technical content cannot be sold, it must be the wrong method!
The next morning, in the room of Mozao Club.
After Teacher Lewis explained to me the techniques that need to be paid attention to when using magic, Peter came to the room shortly after the bell rang for the end of get out of class.
"Now that everyone is here, let me tell you what I think."
Everyone had arrived, and Teacher Louis's lecture had ended. I took out the money-making plan I had planned last night from the inner pocket of my cloak.
"Last night I reviewed all our current technical reserves, and then I made these two sets of plans." I spread out the parchment and explained to the two people sitting across the table.
"One set is for the public facilities of the college, and the other is for the shops in the commercial street." I pointed to the information recorded on the paper and said.
"Let's talk about public facilities first." My finger stopped at a place on the parchment.
"This plan is similar to what Peter does every day. It also earns freight by transporting passengers and materials up and down the mountain." I raised my hand, indicating that Peter would talk later. "Peter drives the Passenger Magic every day.
When the locomotive goes up and down the mountain, after deducting the consumption of the magic core and the labor cost, the overall efficiency is very low. So I created this plan, a two-way cable car."
"Establish two large base stations at the top of the mountain and at the bottom of the mountain, install two powerful magic machines as power, and build a supporting steel frame every two hundred meters, with two steel cables pulled on top, and cargo or cargo can be hung on the steel cables.
People and cargo boxes." I pointed to the diagram on the parchment.
"But we don't have the strength to create such a large project." Instructor Lewis looked at the schematic diagram on the drawing and said with a frown.
Well, I don’t dare to tell Teacher Louis to shut up. Teacher Louis will definitely beat me on the head.
"Indeed, this is a very huge project." I nodded. "But it can solve a lot of transportation pressure."
"So my plan is like this." I pointed to a place in the plan and said. "We will work with Phyllis College to produce it. Phyllis College is responsible for the funding and manpower, and we are responsible for the technology. This plan is definitely tempting.
"
Seeing that the two people still looked unconvinced, I could only continue to explain: "Leave aside the price of goods in the college, let's talk about the commercial street. Because Felice College is in a strange location, all the materials are compared to those at the foot of the mountain.
In this town, the cheapest items have basically more than tripled in price, and most of them are transportation costs."
"If this cable car is built, I have calculated that the freight will be reduced to less than one-tenth of the current price." I took a pen and drew a few times on the blackboard and said.
"All the power of this cable car comes from two huge power magic machines, and the number of magic cores consumed will become an astronomical number." Louis stared at me after reading my design drawing and said. "Why do you think the price of goods is so high?"
Cheaper than current horse-drawn carriage."
"Because I have found this technology that you have always pushed aside." I threw a stack of information on the table. "With this technology, we can reduce shipping costs to almost nothing!"
"This technology seems to be useless, and the price-performance ratio is not as good as the magic scroll." Peter picked up the information I still had on the table and looked at it for a few times, and then said.
"Because you only study technology, but don't think about how to successfully apply the technology!" I said, pointing to the information in Peter's hand.
In fact, this technology is basically not worth mentioning.
I found a device for releasing high-level magic made by converting magic power in the information of the Magic Building Society.
The attributes are basically the same as the magic scroll, but no one will use this technology to release magic.
The magic power in the magic core is transformed through the magic circle, and then the magic is released through the magic circle. The process is complicated, the equipment is huge, and the price-performance ratio is extremely low.
It's better to grind and burn the magic core into a magic circle on the magic scroll and release it directly.
But there is one thing about this magic device that magic scrolls cannot do. It imitates a magician's use of magic power to gather magic elements.
"When a magician releases magic, he uses his own magic power to induce the magic power of nature and then releases the magic." I glanced at Tutor Lewis and said. "Even a ninth-level magician, if he only uses his own magic power to release magic, it will take about a few seconds.
After a fifth-level magic, your own magic power will be completely consumed."
"Then look at this device. Use your own magic power to gather magic elements to increase the damage of magic." I took the information in Peter's hand, opened it and pointed to one place. "We can convert this part of the magic elements into
Magic power provides power for itself. I have calculated that normal operations in a year will only consume up to two fifth-level magic cores."
"The magic core consumption is basically nothing compared to the income!" I looked at the two people in front of me with a fanatical look.
