With this in mind, Xia Duo still decided to wait until the water vapor migration plan was completed at the end of the month, and then have a good chat with Tarafu. It would be best to directly obtain the technology related to elemental breeding from the Mairead family.
The worst thing to do is to ensure a long-term, stable, and large amount of imported elemental essences at a relatively reasonable price. The prices of the essences that Xia Duo purchased from the Mairead family before were not reasonable, and the price of primary essences was obviously on the high side.
Even for high-level spirits, there is still a lot of room for negotiation.
Considering that the future automation industry will consume a large amount of elemental essence, it is now possible to negotiate prices in advance or even stock up on goods in advance.
If the blood of industry on earth is oil, then in this magical world, the blood of industry should be elemental essence. Without elemental essence, automation would be impossible.
There may be other ways to realize automation, but even Xia Duo has no clue about it. It can be said that Jingjing Automation is the only automation possibility in the magic world at present.
The importance of elemental spirits is self-evident. Xia Duo doesn't want to wait until the day when automation is fully rolled out to consider this matter. Why not do it in advance if the foundation can be laid in advance?
…
In the days that followed, Xia Duo had a relatively relaxed life, improving the Jingso automation equipment while giving tutoring lessons to the quasi-high-level mage who had accepted the inheritance ceremony.
By the end of the month, he had successfully improved the six-unit Jingspiri automation equipment, which was only a small improvement compared to the previous four units.
However, he recorded the research and development process as closely as possible, the most important of which was the improvement of ideas and the specific process of experiments.
In the future, when the new mage grows up, he can continue to develop according to his research and development process. Seven, eight, or even sixteen alliances are possible.
But just like the higher the complexity of the puzzle, the difficulty of updating will increase geometrically. The size of the array of spirits that can coordinate spellcasting has a limit under a certain design idea. In theory, there is no limit, but in reality, it is simply not possible.
.
When the scale of the Jingso array reaches a certain level, it is necessary to consider improving it from the direction of design ideas.
Of course, in addition to improving the automation equipment itself, if you want to improve production efficiency, there is a simpler way, which is to increase the number of equipment.
This will also have a limit to the marginal benefit, but under the current circumstances, it is far from a limit. In the process of improving to six-link automation equipment, Xiaduo also manufactured a lot of four-link, five-link, and six-link automation equipment.
Automation equipment.
Most of them are manufactured for experimental verification, but after the experiment is successful, those devices will not disappear, but will be slightly adjusted by Xia Duo to produce node magic weapons.
After this expansion of production capacity, all 280,000 node artifacts will be completed by the Winter Solstice at the latest. If maintenance during this period is abandoned, the completion time can be advanced by a few days.
If these automated equipment are used to produce conventional mass-produced magic items, the Tower of Time is fully capable of overwhelming the magic item market in Netheril, provided of course that other Mage Tower organizations do not intervene (by means other than the market).
…
In addition to completing the improvement work of Liulian's automation equipment, in the last half month of the 839th year of the Nese calendar, Sha Duo also completed the compilation of all teaching materials for the new mage middle school curriculum.
With the ready-made textbooks of the Red Heart Alliance as reference, this part of the work did not cost him too much energy. He basically translated the original textbooks into Nese language, and then replaced all the words and cases involving the Red Heart Alliance with new ones.
The magic system is the same. This is one of the fruits grown from the seeds Sha Duo sowed in the early days of that projection plane. If it were not for the fact that the new mage's Elvish language is still lacking, he could even use it directly.
.
Anyway, there is no True Heart Alliance in the main plane. The most new mages are curious about how such a force exists, but the knowledge in the textbook is true.
But now that he has decided to rearrange it, Shado is not just content with copying the teaching materials of the Red Heart Alliance, he has also added his own understanding to it.
In the middle school stage, and even in the subsequent university stage, there is a very big flaw in the textbooks of the Red Heart Alliance, that is, there is almost no content related to the plane field.
This is not deliberately ignored by the Red Heart Alliance, but is determined by the nature of the Red Heart Alliance. After all, the projection plane is not a real material plane, but is just a virtual world evolved by a strange spirit in the star realm.
But the new mages of the Tower of Time are in the main plane, a real material plane, and many of them will gradually join in the exploration and research of the plane field in the future.
Therefore, Shado must fill in this gap in the middle school textbook of Tower of Time.
In addition, there is content related to psychic spells in the Red Heart Alliance textbooks, but Shado feels that psychic spells—at least those involving external psychic spells—should not be open to everyone, but should be exclusive to specific law enforcers.
Ordinary people only need to know how to protect themselves from psychic spell attacks. This alone is not enough to allow them to fight against law enforcement, but it can avoid being harmed by the few criminals who master psychic spells.
Therefore, Xia Duo has greatly deleted the content related to psychic spells in the textbook.
As for other lethal spells, the Red Heart Alliance's approach is to reserve them as long as they do not directly kill. For example, the fireball spell is essentially just a directed burst of fire elements. This can indeed kill people, but a kitchen knife can also kill people.
Should we also ban kitchen knives?
What the Red Heart Alliance really restricts is various directional spells, or to put it more bluntly - curses, which are not allowed, at least students are not allowed to master them.
In fact, psychic spells can also be included in this list, but psychic spells are not directly lethal after all, and they are also more convenient to protect.
But in the main plane of Netheril, mental magic itself can be regarded as a taboo. The new mage of the Tower of Time is okay. He has grown too fast and has not been affected by mainstream ideas, but Shado is not very interested in mental magic.
The taboo is even more mainstream.
The current mainstream taboo on psychic spells in Netheril stems more from the selfishness of spellcasters. They only taboo against others using psychic spells on them, but not against themselves using psychic spells on others.
The root of Xia Duo's taboo is to respect everyone's freedom of personality. Not only does he not want others to use psychic spells on him, but most of the time he will not take the initiative to use psychic spells on others.
Unless they are enemies or criminals, this is the main reason why Shado lists psychic spells as exclusive to specific law enforcers.
This approach was not his first, but came from the Arcane Empire in the projection plane. Apart from the almost perverted population policy, Shado had a pretty good impression of the Arcane Empire. Of course, good policies must be introduced.
It is even said that in the current Tower of Time, Daxia Territory is still under his strong guidance, and the teaching materials are also compiled by him. Whatever he says is banned, it will naturally be banned.
