Chapter 1120 The little expert of defrauding funds, the successor of miscellaneous crystal research
In the past six months, I have accumulated a stack of parchment documents that is almost half the height of a person. Although the amount seems to be a lot, Xia Duo is not impatient at all.
Because the material subsidy applications submitted by these private research laboratories include the experimental process, number of times, and material consumption on a specific topic.
Looking at these documents, Xia Duo seemed to see the exploration process of each researcher on these topics. There were many highlights, which made him, a senior arcanist, quite fruitful.
But some of them were obviously perfunctory, games, deception, etc. Xia Duo shook his head repeatedly when he saw them.
…
More than half an hour later, Xia Duo finally read all the subsidy application documents for the past six months. He did not pay attention to the numbers in detail. There may be more applications and concealment of consumption, but that is understandable.
After all, in a place with strict auditing like the Earth, there are also situations where money is used unexpectedly, and it is not uncommon.
There are currently no real mages working in the Tower of Time Audit Office, and Xia Duo is not prepared to pursue too many investigations, but those research topics, research progress, and experimental processes that have obvious problems must be dealt with.
He handed over nearly twenty problematic application documents that he had deliberately selected to Director Wendell of the Audit Office, and then gave instructions:
"These three people, Master Sandur's 'Design of three-ring-like spells at the 1st level' project, have obvious loopholes in the experimental design principle. In view of their relatively complete experimental records, only their subsequent subsidies for this topic will be cancelled."
, no other punishment will be imposed;
"Master Sande's 'Practical Exploration of Magic in Cooking' project has obviously been completed, but from November last year to now, he has been applying for material subsidies and forwarding my opinions to the Personnel Department and Materials Department to investigate the matter.
The whole story, and recovering three months of subsidized materials;
"Finally, there is a long-term serious discrepancy between the experimental consumption of Master David's 'Research on the Realization of Magic Network Strings' and the experimental process submitted in the project application report. We have also transferred it to the Personnel Department and Materials Department for investigation, and asked about all subsidized materials.
"
"Yes!" Wendell replied respectfully.
When Xia Duo saw this, he was about to leave. He had just read so many subsidy application documents, and he remembered something, and now it was time to make arrangements.
"grown ups!"
Just when Xia Duo had already stepped out of the door of the Audit Office, he was stopped by Wendel's sudden voice. He looked back and saw that Wendel was hesitant to speak.
"Is there anything else?" Xia Duo asked.
"Sir, the review of subsidy applications for the Tower of Time Private Research Laboratory is considered the core business of the Audit Office, but we are ordinary people after all. I am worried that situations like today will continue to happen in the future."
Wendell looked at the stewards who came with him from the Savile Fourth Chamber of Commerce to the left and right, and their eyes were quite helpless.
Is this complaining? Or is it showing merit? Or is it asking for power and people?
He probably wanted someone, but after thinking about it carefully, Xia Duo realized that this problem was really difficult to solve!
The Audit Office is busy with general affairs, and most of the new mages are outstanding students under the academic training model. It is somewhat inappropriate to waste money in the Audit Office.
Furthermore, those new mages are relatively young, and in Xia Duo's opinion, they are still underage! They are suitable for continued training and further study, rather than starting formal work prematurely.
However, many of the mid-level mages in the Tower of Time are so old. If they do not have the confidence and ability to achieve high-level achievements, they might as well retire to the second line as soon as possible and take on more mundane tasks so that young people can have more opportunities.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo thought of a way, so he said to Wendel:
"I give you the authority to send an invitation to any existing mid-level mage in the Tower of Time, inviting them to join the Audit Office. Of course, the premise is that they must have basic auditing capabilities. I will let De Parker and Cecily join.
We have negotiated a high position allowance, and I hope you can select the person appropriately!"
At this stage, if you want to allow formal mages, especially mid-level mages, to serve as general officials for a long time, it is impossible without subsidies. However, compared to letting them set up private research laboratories to cheat funds, it is more cost-effective to give them some job subsidies.
At the same time, in order to prevent mid-level mages from coming to the audit office where there are only ordinary people and making it difficult for these ordinary people to do things, Sha Duo also gave them a reassurance:
"You just have to do things according to the rules. As long as you are in the Tower of Time, you don't have to worry about being harmed. Even if you encounter an accident while leaving the Tower of Time, I will investigate to the end and I will not let the meritorious people bleed or shed tears.
"
"Thank you for your care, sir. Wendell will definitely fulfill his duties and not cause any loss to the Tower of Time!"
"Wait for notification in a few days!"
After saying that, Xia Duo left the audit office.
…
During the trip to the ruins of Master Innocent's Tower, Shado not only obtained a vivid case in the realm of planes - the ruins themselves, and some [Plane Creation] research notes, but the most important gain was the use of mixed crystals to replace mithril.
Technology.
Although the conditions for the realization of this technology are very harsh, it is feasible after all. Compared with [Plane Creation] which has no successful cases, it is already quite perfect.
Unfortunately, this technology is somewhat useless to Xia Duo, who has already mastered the mithril refining technology. In addition, he has already chosen the plane field as his main research direction in the future. Although he is quite interested in this technology
, but I wasn’t prepared to study it myself.
Having just read the subsidy application documents at the Audit Office, Xia Duo thought of a successor who could continue to study this hybrid crystal to replace mithril technology——
Siore!
This guy is one of the more unique people in the Tower of Time. He often makes some weird gadgets, such as a little puppet that can talk and move, a magic potion that can change the hair color of people after drinking it, and has certain
Rings with special long-lasting effects, etc.
What impressed Xia Duo the most was the time when Siole turned himself into a puppy. Fortunately, he finally changed back, otherwise it would have been too tragic.
In the previous wave of mid-level mages embracing the new system and establishing new private laboratories under the new system, Siole also established his own private laboratory as a matter of course, and also applied for an interesting new project.
Xia Duo just saw that his subsidy application document contained a detailed research process, clear logic, well-organized, and most importantly, very imaginative, which is commendable.
In the subsidy application document called last month, his project "Some research on transformation from orc shaman witchcraft to arcane magic transformation" has been completed.
In fact, the arcane magic version of [Transformation] has been developed by him, and only some derivative application testing and optimization have not yet been completed. If nothing else, it will be within the next month or two.
To study hybrid crystals instead of mithril, you must find a trustworthy person who is interested in this type of research and has the ability to do so. Siole is undoubtedly such a person.
