Chapter 545: Industrial development that bears fruit

Chapter 545: Industrial development that bears fruit

February 10th, the third day after leaving the El plane.

After a thrilling expedition, Richard had a rare few days of relaxation and was not in a hurry to do anything.

Everything in Twilight City develops steadily within the established framework, with no additional circumstances.

I woke up late, finished my lunch slowly, and was sitting in the hall sipping the hot tea made by the maid, when I heard footsteps approaching quickly.

Richard turned his head to look, and Karu, who had pale hair and wrinkled face but particularly bright eyes, appeared in his sight.

After standing still and saluting, he said slowly.

"Sir, there is new news from Vale"

Only then did Richard put down the teacup in his hand and narrowed his eyes.

"What happened?"

Karu calmed down his rapid breathing and said in a condensed voice.

"Weier said that the noble forces in Solan City are discussing your identity as Lord of Divine Grace."

"What is particularly hotly discussed is the hunting of the Lord of Greed in the plane of El."

Speaking of this, his eyes couldn't help but become hot.

He did not expect at first that the conquest of the El Plane would have such a big impact, and that such legendary deeds as killing gods would occur.

That is the Lord of Greed! !

An evil god of this level died in the hands of his master, and was witnessed by countless grace lords!

What a dazzling achievement is this? !

After he heard the news, he was stunned for a long time. He made sure that he heard it correctly before he believed it.

The evil god in charge of greedy power has a great reputation in the main plane.

The Seven Evil Gods, because of their original sins, have almost become fixed villains used by the Light Sect to intimidate believers.

One can imagine how strong the impact would be when a being of this level fell into the hands of his master.

It’s no wonder that Weier’s letter used very heavy words to describe the news.

After taking a deep breath, he continued.

"The Lord of Solan City, the legendary ascetic monk, sent news for the second time yesterday and wants to meet you."

"And this news was brought by Her Highness Chris herself."

Richard's expression did not change.

Because of the live broadcast, billions of viewers witnessed the battle, and it was impossible to hide what happened in the El plane.

He was mentally prepared for the turmoil this incident would cause.

"Duke Solan, what did you say?"

Karu said solemnly.

"My Majesty said he wanted to talk to you about plane development."

Richard narrowed his eyes slightly.

Has it really started?

After capturing the plane of El, he immediately sensed the business opportunities - as long as he mastered enough planes, he could open up trade routes to various areas of the main plane.

This is a temptation that no force can refuse.

I just don’t know if Grand Duke Solan, a legendary ascetic monk, has discovered the obelisk.

This is what matters most to him.

Ancient rules, for any ultimate existence above legend, that is an opportunity to become a god.

"Reply a message to Weir. I will go to Solan City at the end of the month. At that time, I will meet with Grand Duke Solan."

"Yes!"

Karu nodded immediately.

The Violet Chamber of Commerce is still in Solan City, and it is impossible to avoid the master of that city.

After Richard finished explaining, he seemed to have thought of something, and his tone was a bit joyful.

"Has significant progress been made in the research and development of the Magic Sound Box?"

Kalu's slightly solemn expression immediately relaxed and he said with a smile.

"That's right, sir, after the group of divine blood dwarfs you sent entered the Furnace City, they greatly accelerated the research and development of the magic sound box."

"Now, we have officially entered the mass production stage."

"The Furnace City can currently produce 100 units every day!"

A few months ago, the output of Magic Sound Box could only be two or three units a month. In comparison, it has already made leaps and bounds.

Richard was very interested.

"Yes, progress is rapid, but these numbers are far from enough."

"We need more!"

"Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times!"

"No matter how large the quantity is, the market can digest it!"

"Besides the black sorbet, this is another important product for us to earn resources. We must increase production at all costs."

Richard has high expectations for this fantasy version of MP3.

For those in the "Glory Era" who live in poverty, a magic sound box that can play music is undoubtedly an irresistible temptation.

And he asked Melting Pot City to change its research direction to mp3 mode, or recorder mode, from the very beginning.

The current magic sound box is just a player, and the carrier of music is another item——

Magic tape, a fantasy version of tape.

The advantage of this design is very simple. After selling the magic sound box, you can continue to sell tapes.

With the player, tape revenue will also become a priority.

What is even more important to Richard is that as long as the Magic Sound Box can expand, more industries can be extended in the future - star creation, cultural claims, advertising, etc.

Once Magic Sound Box reaches a large scale, the explosive industry will definitely make anyone's heart tremble.

There are many smart people in this world, and there may not be any players working in this direction, but Furnace City has taken over the complete scientific research system of the gray dwarves, and now there are hundreds of divine-blooded dwarves who have activated the knowledge of the gods.

The research and development of the magic sound box is definitely ahead of everyone.

As long as he is fast enough, he can eat this most abundant piece of fat before everyone reacts.

Even if players know this, there is nothing they can do about it. Without enough talent reserves, everything is just a fantasy.

Karu was also quite excited.

After coming into contact with the Magic Sound Box, I realized how much potential this alchemical item had.

During this period of time, in order to check the product, he tried a few, but after using it, he felt itchy in his heart, and he couldn't do it without listening to it every day.

Now what he must do every day is to listen to both magic tapes before going to bed.

The person singing in the magic sound box is a rare dark elf in the underground world. The beautiful singing voice is simply captivating.

If he saw a magic sound box outside, he would buy one even if he had to dig out the bottom of the box!

After Richard finished his instructions, he continued.

"Concerning the anti-theft issue of the Magic Sound Box, how is the development of the Divine Blood Gnome going?"

Although the design of the magic sound box is ingenious, it is not impossible to manufacture it with the background of those great nobles.

There is no copyright protection for "Glory Era". What can you do if others have the ability to produce it?

And the forces that can create magic items are generally not weak.

Karu's tone was filled with admiration.

"The divine blood dwarf deserves to have the blood of the gods flowing through him, and his knowledge reserve is so amazing."

"They came up with several special methods. First, they used a special energy source to provide energy for the magic sound box."

"After a special magic circle, the elemental energy is compressed into the crystal."

"Our magic sound box can only be activated with this special energy source."

"If the energy source is incorrect, the magic sound box will be damaged."

"Second, the more complicated magic array. The magic array used in the magic sound box is the knowledge inherited by the gods. Only dwarfs can understand it. It is extremely difficult for outsiders to decipher it."

"Third, the magic circles are fixedly upgraded. The dwarfs specially set up several imperfect magic circles. After the launch, they can be upgraded for free every six months or a year. This can cultivate customers' habits and loyalty."

"Fourth, the separated magic sound tape you mentioned before, the playback function of the magic sound box will only be activated if we manufacture the magic sound tape."

Richard smiled when he heard this.

"What if someone bypasses our magic sound box and develops their own magic sound box?"

"They don't need the rules and regulations we set."

Kalu said immediately without hesitation.

"Our think tank has discussed this in detail and finally concluded that this approach is inevitable and difficult to eliminate."

"So the best way is to occupy the market as soon as possible and make our magic sound box an item that everyone needs. In this way, even if other magic sound boxes are produced, buyers will not give up easily because of the cost. Us.”

“In addition, you can also do homework from the contents of the magic sound box.”

"For example, launch higher-quality magic sound tapes to allow more races to participate in sound recording."

"If a person owns hundreds of magic sound tapes, will the other person be willing to give up our magic sound box?"

Richard was basically satisfied with this answer.

Obviously, Carew has studied this matter carefully. Although there are still many imperfections and a bit taken for granted, it is almost the same.

And the perspective is very broad, so it was not in vain that he often instilled various modern ideas in him during this period.

"How much does it cost to produce a magic sound box?"

Karu smiled bitterly.

"Because the functional design is significantly different from the original version, the production cost of each magic sound box now requires 500 units of rare resources."

"The Magic Sound Tape requires 100 units of rare resources."

Calculating this, a set of magic sound boxes that can play will require 600 units of rare resources?

Richard was thoughtful.

"Where is the energy crystal that provides the operation of the magic sound box?"

"Energy crystals are transformed and suppressed by the alchemy magic circle of the divine blood dwarf. The manufacturing cost is only 10 units of crystals, and the production speed is also very fast. Each energy crystal can support the continuous playback of the magic sound box for a week."
< br>

"Have you discussed the price with Weier?

"The magic sound box comes with a magic sound tape, a set of 1,000 units of rare resources."

"If purchased separately, the magic sound box is 500, the magic sound tape is 300, and each rare resource is 300."

"Energy crystal, 30 units each."

Richard nodded, the price was quite reasonable.

This thing is different from black condensate sorbet, it cannot be sold so cheaply.

Production capacity is limited, and it is not a consumable product. It would be too wasteful to use a small profit but quick turnover method in the early stage for this kind of durable product.

Selling it too expensive is not conducive to promotion and popularization. Many of his subsequent plans will be useless if there is no large number of users as a basis.

“Increase production capacity as much as possible and reduce costs.”

"As long as the Magic Sound Box causes a sensation, we will have many competitors in the future."

Richard is very calm.

"Therefore, sales will be suspended until the daily production reaches 1,000 units."

"In addition, let the divine blood dwarves start researching the next version of the magic sound box. We need to consider new products."

"In addition, as I told you last time, the development of a magic sound box that can display images must also begin."

"These are not things that can be successfully developed in a month or two. They require long-term investment. The sooner you start, the sooner you will see results."

Above mp3, there is naturally mp4 that can watch videos. This thing is several steps more difficult than simply playing sound.

But if it can be developed, the profits earned will be absolutely huge.

No matter what happens, let a few hot-bodied races show some interracial love. I believe there will be many decent people who will buy it.

Watching movies is a basic need of the people.

Having just acquired three extraordinary troop lairs, Richard's desire for resources has once again reached a new level.

High-level units consume resources horribly.

If we don't expand our financial resources as soon as possible, Twilight City will be sucked dry by the military nests in our hands.

Being in the depths of the desert, it was impossible for him to rely on the abundant resources around him for development like other forces.

The underground world and the El plane each have their own situations.

If you want to grow quickly, the best way is to develop products with strong competitiveness.

Black condensate sorbet, White Tail Absolute Brew, Magic Sound Box, and even resource products - Desert Crown Honey, Flame Dragon Rabbit Fur, are his main means of earning resources.

After tasting the sweetness, I don’t mind digging deeper in this aspect.

After chatting for a long time, discussing the future development of the magic sound box in depth, and repeatedly urging the Melting Pot City to put the magic sound box in the first research sequence, Richard did not stop and continued to the next topic.

"How is the expansion and cultivation of raw materials for black sorbet going?"

Black sorbet is the fantasy world version of Coca-Cola that he wants to create, and black sorbet with perfect taste, powerful functions and low cost fully has this potential.

Especially in the desert, this kind of food that can bring absolute coldness is a killer.

"The planting bases in the underground world have expanded to 30, 15 of which use the alchemical harvesters produced by Furnace City."

"Because the Eternal Land is still expanding rapidly, there are still many uncertainties, and the Eternal City still needs to be built. We have only tentatively designated agricultural areas and have not started sowing seeds yet."

Richard nodded.

"The agricultural area in the Eternal Land can be postponed for a while. It will not be too late to cultivate it after it stabilizes."

"The plane of El still has a lot of land. You can send people to find suitable planting sites later."

Land and population are all resources, and the El Plane obviously has the potential to develop a large farming industry.

After Karu responded, he immediately added another sentence.

"How efficient is the alchemy harvester? Is there any planned use of it?"

Karoo beamed.

"It can be compared to the work efficiency of fifty or sixty people. If it is further improved, it will be even better."

He swore that if he hadn't seen with his own eyes how the huge machinery used in war could sow and harvest with ease, he would never have imagined that alchemy could be used in such a place.

The emergence of large-scale machinery has made harvesting and sowing extremely convenient, saving a lot of labor.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is an unprecedented leap.

Richard nodded, feeling much better.

Months and a lot of investment of resources finally paid off.

So comfortable.

Seeing that he didn't ask any more questions, Kalu took the initiative to speak.

"Sir, in addition to reporting the news about Weier, I also have good news - with the help of the divine blood dwarf, the white-tailed cat tribe has successfully developed a new 4-star wine, Dusk Rhythm!"

Richard's eyes lit up.

The white-tailed cat clan's white-tailed brew can generate hundreds of thousands of rare resources in revenue for Twilight City every month.

It's a pity that the output is too small, and it needs to be brewed by the white-tailed cats themselves, so there is no way to produce it on a large scale like the black sorbet.

Now that there is one more fine wine, there is undoubtedly another source of wealth.

This is definitely a major benefit for him who is tight on money.

"How does it taste?"

"It's hot and intense, as hot as lava erupting, and it's very exciting. We let the residents taste it, and it's very popular among the strong men. Women and the elderly can't accept it, and they still prefer Baiwei Zhuanjing."

Richard nodded, no wonder it was called Desert Rhythm.

"As for the production volume, can it keep up with Baiwei Zhuanjing?"

Karu smiled.

"Just a little more!"

“The first batch will be produced by the end of this month!”

Richard nodded happily.

The magic sound box was successfully developed, the black gel sorbet production base began to expand, and the white-tailed cat family had a new product.

This feeling of watching your layout bear fruit step by step is very fulfilling.

After thinking for a moment, he said slowly.

"The secondary research and development of black condensate sorbet needs to be accelerated."

"Although the solid black gel sorbet is not worried about sales, it may not be liked by everyone."

"You can try to turn a solid into a liquid to have the same effect."

"And you can follow the idea of ​​​​black condensate sorbet and look for magic plants that can ward off the cold. If you can produce a sip to keep yourself warm for a long time, I think its sales will not be worse than that of black condensate sorbet." (End of this chapter. )
