Despite Atwood's recommendation, considering the importance of magic glue research, Shado did not directly hand it over to Inuvich, but proposed a bet condition——
"I will first appoint Inuvich as the acting director of the Magic Glue Research Center and provide all the conveniences it can provide. If the research center can make practical rubber pipes before the official start of the underground part of the Linshui Village reconstruction project, then this title
You can just remove the "agent" part in the "Agent" part. If not, I will appoint another supervisor."
After saying that, Shaduo looked at Inuvich, who was showing a shocked expression, "How is it? Are you confident that you can do it well?"
Inuvich was stunned for a moment, then quickly assured loudly: "Yes, I will definitely be able to do it!"
"Very good! This is what a mage in the new era should look like!"
Chateau was very satisfied with Inuvich's attitude. Next, he would fulfill his promise and provide Inuvich with necessary convenience.
If Inuvich achieves results, he will not only be the director of the Magic Glue Research Center, he will also include the other party in the new batch of inheritance ceremony lists to help the other party grow rapidly.
Even if he failed to produce results, Inuvich's current performance has left a deep enough impression on Sha Duo. If there is an opportunity to cultivate him in the future, he will naturally not forget him.
…
A supply and personnel authorization document was signed on the spot and handed over to Inuvich. Only then did Chateau and Leiden leave the barracks.
Considering that Linshui Village is about to be renovated, Jay's portable laboratory will not be taken back for the time being, but will continue to be handed over to Inuvich to establish the Magic Glue Research Center.
It won't be too late to move the water pipes after they are practical. As for Jay staying there during this period, there is actually no conflict. Jay is a magic affairs officer, and what he usually does is research related to the civilian use of magic.
Although magic glue does not directly involve magic, whether it is the raising of magic glue monsters, the extraction of glue materials, or the production of final products, magic is inseparable. This is entirely the responsibility of the magic affairs officer.
Therefore, in the next period of time, Jay will also work with Inuvich and others to study magic glue or start new projects, anyway, it will be in this laboratory.
The secondary laboratory is large enough to accommodate them all.
…
After coming out of the barracks, Xia Duo did not go north again. Instead, he stood at the sentry outside the barracks and chatted with Leiden. "It will probably take some time to develop a practical magic glue pipe. After it is developed, it will take a while."
The production time is probably not too short, do you have any ideas?"
"It seems that the lord is really concerned about the application of magic glue. If you want to use it in this Linshui Village reconstruction project, all plans need to be rearranged."
"When there is an opportunity to do better, of course we must strive to do better."
Chateau first set the tone, and then further explained: "Magic glue has broad application prospects, and what we can see now are at least two applications: urban pipes and tires.
"And the latter is not only used for bicycle tires, can it not be used for other vehicles? For example, for steam vehicles, not only can it be used for tires, but it can also be used for steam seals.
"Also, if you think about the shoes that most of the citizens wear now, would it be more comfortable if the soles were made of magic glue?"
If Leiden didn't have a very intuitive feeling about other applications, when it came to shoes, he felt it too deeply. As an orphan, he had never worn any good shoes since he could remember.
I was barefoot most of the time, and it wasn’t until I was ten years old that I got my first pair of straw sandals. Later, I also wore cloth shoes and leather shoes. The latter two are slightly more comfortable, but they are expensive, especially for ordinary people.
If you want to make it yourself, most people don't have that skill. Only a few shoemakers have a monopoly on the manufacturing method. As you can imagine, the output is very limited.
Since the opening of Daxia Territory, the craftsmanship of linen shoes has been gradually developed and opened to all territorial residents. However, in the southern border, only Savile Territory can grow flax. There is wild flax but very few, and it requires going deep into the forest to find it. The gain outweighs the loss.
.
The fabric that can be used to make a set of clothes is used to make a shoe, and the production cycle is longer, so most of the people in the territory choose straw sandals.
By the river or in the forest, pick up some flexible grass blades and vines, and you don't need any craftsmanship. If you can protect the toes and soles, it can be used.
But are these shoes comfortable?
It was obviously not comfortable. Leiden was wearing a pair of straw sandals on his feet at the moment. He collected the materials and knitted them by himself. His craftsmanship was better than most of the people in the territory, but in terms of comfort, even the most ordinary cloth shoes could not compare.
Not to mention leather shoes.
But now, the weather has entered winter, the straw sandals are ventilated from all sides, and the cold air attacks from the soles of the feet. People with poor health may not be able to bear it at all.
The reason why he wears straw sandals is because after Leiden became the consul of the territory, he made an oath to eat whatever the people in the territory eat and use what the people in the territory use.
Nowadays, most of the citizens wear straw sandals, so it is naturally impossible for him to choose leather shoes that he is actually qualified and has the capital to own.
At this moment, when the lord mentioned magic glue shoes, Leiden's heart suddenly became hot. Being able to make water pipes would obviously be able to drain water. Being able to drain water would undoubtedly prevent wind.
And better elasticity can bring a more comfortable experience. As for cold protection, just make the shoes larger and stuff hay, linen or even fur inside.
No matter what, they are better than any kind of shoes that the citizens are using!
"Lord, can you really use magic glue to make shoes?" Leiden himself didn't even notice that his tone was trembling.
At present, the people in Daxia have no big problems with food, clothing, housing and transportation, but there are too many areas that can be improved, and shoes are one of the most prominent aspects!
In response to Leiden's doubts, Shado asked: "Why not? The citizens can use magic lamps, magic stoves, and magic heaters, so why can't they send shoes made of magic glue?"
Speaking of this, Xia Duo reminded Leiden, "If you want everyone to get a pair of magic glue shoes as soon as possible, then the construction of the magic glue monster breeding farm cannot be delayed! I think the future Linshui Town Workshop District can
Work has started ahead of schedule!”
"Yes, I will make arrangements right away."
"In addition to the magic glue monster breeding farm, there are also magic glue product workshops that are also continuing to prepare. There is no need to consider the progress of Inuvich. Regardless of whether there are results there, you must prepare the infrastructure here.
Well, as soon as there are results there, we can start production here immediately."
"Yes, I know."
"In addition, it is foreseeable that the magic glue production capacity cannot cover all aspects in a short period of time, so we must make choices, estimate the dosage in advance, and prioritize the supply of the underground parts of the Linshui Village reconstruction part that are inconvenient for later rework."
