Chapter 45 The Olympics are coming and lottery tickets are released!
Under Mavey's supervision, the Ministry of Magic established by the Moscow Royal Academy of Sciences conducted an in-depth analysis of teleportation magic in conjunction with the "Magic Analysis Volume" left by Mikhail Belinsky.
The Ministry of Magic was established a year ago specifically to study the principles of the formation of magic circles. The ancient books left behind when the Apocalypse Church was destroyed are enough to prove that magic can be explained in another way. The biggest difference between metaphysics and science is that metaphysics only knows how to use it.
Without knowing its principles, science is about studying its principles and applying them perfectly.
Whether it’s physics or mathematics, it’s all about exploring the laws of metaphysics and turning them into truth.
In the past year, the Ministry of Magic has analyzed all the ancient magic books left by the Apocalypse Church and reclassified them according to their uses, but still retained the original sequence system to distinguish the differences in power and difficulty of construction.
Teleportation magic is classified under the category of space magic, along with the heart of the jungle, mud shadow and other magics that can cover the breath and move. The difference is that the heart of the jungle and teleportation magic belong to directional movement under the category of space magic.
Classification, while magic that covers the aura like mud shadow is classified into the invisible classification.
With the template of the parchment, the Ministry of Magic produced the prototype of the teleportation magic circle in just half a month. The teleportation magic invented by Anatole is similar to the Heart of the Jungle, and both require anchor points to be set in advance.
Teleport.
According to Minister Georg, the teleportation magic circle is divided into two sides, AB, and each side has the effect of receiving and transmitting. When the A magic circle runs forward, the B magic circle will run in the reverse direction, transmitting people or objects.
.
After Anatole's improvement, the advantages are obvious. The teleportation distance is linked to magic power. The more magic power is input, the farther the teleportation distance will be, breaking the distance limit in the heart of the jungle.
The ability to teleport over long distances is an advantage, but the only directional transmission mode of A-B, B-A is a disadvantage. The teleportation magic circle is a complete set, and the A-side magic circle can only teleport people to B magic circle or receive reception.
People teleported by magic circle B cannot be teleported to magic circles such as C and D.
On the other hand, there are no restrictions on directional teleportation in Heart of the Jungle. Although the teleportation distance is short, you can theoretically go wherever you want. As long as you are lucky, there will generally be no problem.
Mosk is 2,500 kilometers away from London. After testing, teleporting an adult man weighing 80 kilograms requires all the magic power of a priest. Assuming that Yunia gives a priest a standard magic power of 1 gold per day, the magic power consumed is 1
gold.
Even a bishop can only get 10 gold in total magic power every day.
Of course, if the priest needs to replenish his magic power, he only needs to appeal to Junia, and Junia will continue to send gifts. The magic recovery time is based on the distance between the requester and Junia. For example, Gang on the other side of the ocean
Tsalov, even if he appeals to Yunia, he still has to wait a day to get the magic power replenished.
If Yunia is in London, it only takes a few minutes for the London priest's magic power to be fully restored.
Teleporting an adult man weighing 60 kilograms requires 1 gold of magic power, while a child weighing 30 kilograms only costs 0.5 gold. The magic power consumed is related to the weight, and the volume...
As long as the coverage area of the magic circle is not exceeded, the size is not a problem.
Soon, the first London-Mosk teleportation magic circle was established. All you need to do is stand up and input magic power into the magic circle. When the magic power reaches the critical point, the teleportation will be started. If the magic power is not enough, the teleportation will fail.
First, they tested it several times with stones, and then made Edward the experimental subject for the first teleportation. As the leader of the blood clan, if you want to kill Edward, you must kill all the vampires, otherwise Edward can be reborn from the body of any of his dependents.
This is the innate ability of vampires.
Even the black sun cannot completely kill them.
It was perfect to let Edward serve as the experimental subject. Input enough magic power into the magic circle, and the magic power circulated at high speed in the ravines, coating Edward's body with a layer of golden light. With a 'swish', Edward disappeared out of thin air.
!
Within a few minutes, the magic circle suddenly started on its own. Even though there was no input of magic power, the magic circle started to operate automatically. With another 'whoosh', Edward appeared out of thin air with a bowl of nut milk ice cream in his hand.
Before Mavey could say anything, members of the Ministry of Magic swarmed around Edward to check, and finally concluded that everything was normal.
"How do you feel?" Ma Wei asked.
"Very good, nothing different." Edward handed the ice cream in his hand to Yunia: "This is the ice cream that the Ministry of Magic in London asked me to give to you. It was made with the freezing magic this morning."
"Thanks!"
There was ice cream to eat, and Yunia laughed happily. Seeing this, the Ministry of Magic immediately felt the crisis. Minister Georg immediately decided to build an ice room to provide the goddess with delicious ice cream 24 hours a day.
In exchange for more research funding...
After Edward finished the test, Levin couldn't wait to jump up. Ma Wei hurriedly stopped him: "What are you doing?"
"Go back to London! I've been staying in Moscow for more than half a month! It's time to go back and have a look!"
"You come down first. Who knows if Anatole has tampered with the magic circle. Before you use it, let others try it."
"Didn't Edward pass the test just now?"
"It is a transcendent, different from you." Ma Wei said: "Teleportation magic is very complicated. It is activated based on weight. Edward is heavier than you, so it cannot be used as a model. It should be tested several times before it can be officially used."
At Mavie's request, Levine could only wait for two more days. During these two days, Mosk's Ministry of Magic conducted hundreds of tests, from mild to severe, small to large, and with countless cases piled up, finally...
The safety of the teleportation magic circle has been determined.
This time, Ma Wei did not stop Levin, and launched the magic circle with him to return to London. When they walked out of St. Paul's Cathedral and saw the familiar streets outside, they were completely relieved.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Returning to Flower Street, Ma Wei went to the cafe to find Xiao Hei and let him pay more attention to the traces of Seokula. If Seokula did not go to Mosk
, then you must come to London.
"The convenience of teleporting magic circles has been confirmed. Next, we should lay it out in more cities and build urban networks to ensure the convenience of mutual communication and support."
At the regular meeting, Christopher put forward the suggestion to lay more teleportation magic circles, which was unanimously approved by everyone. However, in which city and where in the city to lay the teleportation magic circle still needs to be carefully considered.
"According to research, the teleportation magic circle can perform one-way transmission, that is to say, transmission from A to B does not require B's consent, and vice versa."
Salina, who was sitting on the bishop's seat, said: "This will leave security risks. If an enemy invades a church in a small city, can the teleportation circle be activated to enter the next city? Can it suddenly descend on London?
Where’s Mosk?”
"The teleportation circle needs to be improved, and it must not be teleported without restraint. I suggest that before improvements are made, it should only be laid in major cities, and not in main urban areas. The location should be located in the Witcher branch."
Large cities like Moscow and London with millions of people have installed defensive magic arrays. In times of crisis, the canopy can be opened to block enemy invasion. If the enemy directly rides the teleportation magic array into the city, the canopy will lose its defensive role.
become a burden.
Fixed-point teleportation is convenient, but you must also pay attention to safety. Salina's words were affirmed by everyone. No one wants to see a powerful enemy suddenly appear in the church one day...
After careful consideration, the church has only left the London-Mosk teleportation circle for the time being. The teleportation circles in other cities are not connected to London and Mosk. In this way, even if the enemy uses the teleportation magic circle, they will not be able to invade London and Mosk.
Sk.
Thinking of Goncharov who was far across the ocean, Mawe also asked someone to send him a teleportation circle, intending to connect Mexico City and Birmingham.
As August approaches, there are more and more news about the Olympic Games in newspapers. The Olympic Games are about to be held, and Stockholm has long been prepared to welcome the athletes. Compared with the Olympic Games four years ago, there are more countries participating in this Olympics, and it is
The first Magic Olympics attracted far more attention than ever before.
The people are paying attention to the news in newspapers, and wealthy people will go to Stockholm to watch the games in person. In order to let more people enjoy the Olympic events, and to do their best to promote the Olympics and the Church of Truth, Ma Wei issued in the name of the church
You can buy a temporary Olympic ticket for only 5 cents. It has an exclusive 7-digit number. Three hundred draws are conducted every day. Any ticket with all winning numbers will receive the entire Olympics provided by the church.
Tickets for the game.
Whether it’s a hotel or three meals a day, the church will make all arrangements for the winners and give them special souvenirs.
When he heard that Ma Wei was going to sell lottery tickets, Dino not only did not stop him, but was filled with joy. After his calculations, the amount each lottery winner would need to spend to participate in the Olympics was about 70 yuan, which was about 10 gold coins when converted into gold pounds.
Accommodation and food expenses are the least, and the most expensive ones are travel expenses and tickets. Although the Olympics are organized by the church, Stockholm spent a lot of money to host the Olympics. The Church of Truth will not take advantage of them. They just buy the tickets when they should. They just got a big deal.
Only a 20% discount on additional orders.
One quota is 70 yuan, and 300 quotas are 27,000 yuan. The lottery is held every day for a month, and nearly 10,000 quotas are given away...
Is it a loss?
not at all!
Dino, who is very careful about his budget, has already thought about it, because Olympic lottery tickets are jointly issued in the Northern Alliance countries, and the number of buyers is not simply millions or tens of millions, but hundreds of millions!
The Romanov Kingdom alone has a population of 200 million, and the other allied countries combined also have a population of 100 to 200 million. They have been selling tickets for 30 days in a row at 5 cents each. The estimated sales volume is about 1 billion. Converted into northern coins, the income should be
Around 50 million!
How much is 10,000 places worth?
700,000 is as high as the sky!
This rate of return is simply as high as the sky!
"The priest finally knows how to make money, good, good..."
After settling the account, Dino picked up the tea cup and took a sip, feeling comfortable.
Now he doesn't have to do anything, just wait for the money to fall into his pocket.
Somehow this matter reached Ma Wei's ears. When he learned that the expected income was 50 million and the cost would not exceed 700,000, Ma Wei was silent for a long time and decided to change the lottery sales rules.
"The price is reduced to one cent per ticket, and the winner can bring up to four friends and family members with him."
"What?!"
When Dino heard the news, he almost jumped out of his chair. His originally white cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning purple. Several veins burst out near his temples. He froze for a while, and lost his mind.
I left my official duties and took the teleportation magic circle directly to London, where I found Ma Wei.
"Are you crazy?! Why are you changing the rules at will? Now it's better! The church will lose money!"
Ma Wei, who had long expected that Dino would come to kill him, looked calm: "How can it be a loss? The income is 10 million and the cost is 3.5 million. No matter how you look at it, you will not lose."
"You have to consider other costs! How much does it cost to print the lottery tickets? 1 billion lottery tickets! There are also labor costs and tobacco shop sales costs. In order to promote the Olympic lottery tickets in the Union countries, we spent ten
Tens of thousands of people! How much does it cost every day? On the surface, we made 6.5 million, but our costs should be more than 12 million!"
Ma Wei opened his mouth: "I really didn't expect this, but it's a loss. It was originally a publicity, and it was all used as advertising expenses."
"You have to make me mad!" Dino rolled his eyes: "How can you spend money like that! I very much suspect that the church's poor economic situation in the past few years is because you don't know how to settle accounts! Even profitable businesses can be ruined by you.
Got it!"
"Don't talk nonsense about this. I didn't make any money at all in the past few years. I just put money into it, okay? Also, isn't the Manstein Potion Company quite profitable?"
"The way a church makes money is different from starting a company! If you continue like this, you will become a loser sooner or later!"
Dino rolled his eyes and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the only way to kill is..."
"What do you want to do?"
"Let's recover the losses! Newspapers have their own printing plants. We can bind the right to announce the winning numbers to the newspaper. If the newspaper wants to publish the winning numbers in the newspaper, it will print the lottery tickets for free for us! This way we can save money.
Cost of 3 million!”
With his eyes shining, Dino said quickly: "Maybe we can also ask the newspaper for 5% of the sales as a reward! By the way, we can add advertising space on the back of the lottery tickets! The advertisers will be changed every day for the lottery tickets issued, and they will be auctioned.
The one with the highest price gets it!”
"In addition, we can change the lottery ticket sales location from a tobacco shop to a fixed stall, place it in a market, park, etc., and rent out the surrounding stalls on a rental basis, saving sales costs and earning rent at the same time! Not only can
It will boost the local economy and also take the opportunity to sell Olympic mascots! Develop supporting industries!"
Ma Wei looked at Dino dumbfounded: "You have so many ways..."
