However, his explanation made everyone more confused. Of course, they were confused, but they also felt relieved. At least they knew that their future work would be related to the manufacturing of magic items.
"More professional? Just us?"
"Of course it's more professional. Even if you don't believe me, don't you still believe Lord Shada?" Danos tried hard to explain.
But everyone obviously would not let go of this opportunity to learn more, and continued to ask: "Then what happened when they said they wanted to train us before? Isn't it like training us like those new apprentices?"
"I don't know about this, but I believe that Lord Xia Da will not let us down, and our situation will definitely be better than before!"
Danos said with confidence that compared to others, he had been paying attention to Tilak Research Laboratory for a long time.
He even dreamed of one day being able to receive support from the Tower of Time like Tilak and establish an independent research laboratory that only mid-level mages had in the past.
"Lord Adrian?"
Someone soon thought of the old lord's students Adrian and Bert. Maybe they would know more, but it was not until then that they discovered that Adrian and Bert had left long ago.
In fact, Adrian and Bert left early not long after the interview. There were several others who left early like them, but everyone here was focused on worries about the future and did not notice.
At this moment, they found that Adrian and Bert were not there, and everyone discussed for a while before they dispersed. However, when they left, they had naturally formed a new small circle.
…
On the other side, Xia Duo visited all the mid-level mages in the Tower of Time one by one.
With Depak achieving a high level and supporting Shado, Tower of Time's current income structure has changed.
Intermediate mages can no longer resist Xia Duo with passive work. After all, even if a high-level mage just has an extra name, the same product can be sold at a higher price. (The negativity in the contract, if Xia Duo
Too much would be a breach of contract by the Tower of Time. They can also choose to leave. Of course, after leaving, they may not be able to find a Mage Tower to stay in, and they may not be able to receive the current treatment. At the same time, they still have to worry about being pursued by the Tower of Time.)
Not to mention, high-level mages can easily surpass mid-level mages in terms of quantity and quality of products. In the true sense, one can only have more than one.
The result of this visit was much better than before, at least this time there was no excuse to avoid it.
In addition to a certain degree of comfort, this visit was more importantly about finalizing two things——
One is to let these mid-level mages accept the existence of magic technicians and outsource part of the business to them;
The other is to have these mid-level mages accept the existence of the low-level mages' training classes and agree to go there regularly to teach and answer questions.
Under the pressure of the general situation, the price Xia Duo paid was to set up a training class for mid-level mages and arrange for high-level mages to give regular lessons and answer questions.
To be honest, Xia Duo had mentioned this condition before, but these mid-level mages were conservative and short-sighted, and they also valued collective interests, so they did not agree.
Of course, it may also be that they are too far-sighted and can see that waves of waves are about to appear and squeeze their living space, so they are very resistant to academic-style active education.
However, after experiencing the expansion of apprentices and the transfer of low-level mages, they gradually realized that the trend was unstoppable. Now all they can do is to strive for more benefits within the framework set by Xia Duo.
…
the next day.
Leonard Research Laboratory, which was included in the Tower of Time key support plan, and Horst Research Laboratory were established at the same time.
At the same time, the private laboratories of other mid-level mages also began to undergo rectifications.
Under the guidance of the new "Tower of Time Laboratory Management Standards (Trial)", the phenomenon of mid-level mages squeezing low-level mages for free will be completely eliminated.
Instead, there is an hourly salary system linked to the spellcasting level, and the salary is paid personally by the person in charge of the laboratory. Correspondingly, low-level mages no longer enjoy the dividends of the private laboratory (it mainly depends on the conscience of the instructor~).
In addition, certain adjustments have been made to the fixed tasks undertaken by the private laboratory to better adapt to the new production relations after the transformation of the Tower of Time.
As for the low-level mages, except for some who joined the Academic Affairs Office as teaching staff, some joined Leonard and Horst Research Laboratory as researchers, and the rest were all converted into magic technicians.
Of course, these low-level magic technicians can also choose to accept employment from mid-level wizards and join their private research laboratories.
Compared with before, the work content has not changed much (maybe it is to cooperate with research, or it may be to be a human battery, there are no chores anymore, it is outsourced~).
Only this time, they have relatively stable wages.
…
As noon approached, there were actually 11 low-level mages left who had not been hired back by the mid-level mages or who were unwilling to join the private research room.
Except for 4 people who joined the Academic Affairs Office and 6 people who joined Leonard and Horst Research Laboratory, only 3 people were rehired by mid-level mages.
These 11 people are now considered the first batch of junior magic technicians in the Tower of Time, and it was at this time that the magic industry of the Tower of Time officially began.
…
Seeing that the Tower of Time was about to enter a new order, Shado couldn't help but come to Horst in the end, wanting to speed up the progress here. Of course, it also reflected the importance he attached to this side.
The main work of the Horst Laboratory is mass production design, while the Leonard Laboratory is similar to the Tilak Laboratory in that they both explore new technologies.
Of course, they will all receive key support from the Tower of Time.
As for the private laboratories of other mid-level mages, from Xia Duo's perspective, they are actually outsourced factories, and even most of the workers are not theirs.
Of course, the private laboratories of these mid-level mages can also conduct private research, but without the support of the Tower of Time, they have to bear their own profits and losses.
If results are produced, they must be shared with the Tower of Time unless they have been keeping it secret. After all, they also used the environment and equipment of the Tower of Time to achieve the results.
Furthermore, the Tower of Time will also pay for their achievements. If they register patents or develop products in the future, there will also be a corresponding division of labor.
In this regard, the Tower of Time has already made an agreement with them in their contract.
Of course, these mid-level mages can also apply for support from the Tower of Time. For a single project, similar to Tilak's permanent magic project, the Tower of Time will receive a higher share of the results of such a project.
In fact, Sha Duo is preparing to strictly block the project applications of these mid-level mages. This can be regarded as the most important way to save money at present.
Even in the future, he is planning to set up a special organization to review projects applied by private research laboratories to avoid the loss of the Tower of Time's property.
…
Horst Research Laboratory.
It has just started to operate again, and Horst doesn't understand what Xia Duo, who just came here not long ago, is doing now.
"Master Horst, except for communication instruments, the current production of the Tower of Time has almost completely stopped. I hope you will come up with the mass production plan for each product as soon as possible. I will ask Dean and others to come over to assist you. They have
The experience of mass-producing communication instruments will definitely be of great use."
