Chapter 754: Completion within the deadline, the arrival of the northern fleet
Horst Research Laboratory
Chateau was concerned about the mass production of various magic items in the Tower of Time. On the way back to his residence, he happened to stop by to see the progress of Horst and his team's research on the mass production plan during this period.
"Only completed the mass production plan of [Alert Talisman]?"
Xia Duo looked at the people in the research room expressionlessly. The number of people was much larger than the last time he came here, but the results had little to do with the number of people.
He asked Horst: "Isn't this [alert amulet] the one that uses the permanent magic technology of Tilak Research Laboratory?"
"Well--"
Horst gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes."
"..."
Xia Duo was immediately speechless. It has been more than ten days since the relationship began and they haven’t even come up with a mass production plan! What’s the use of having more people!
The so-called [Alert Talisman] mass production plan should actually be regarded as the result of Tilak Research Laboratory. From the beginning of the research, Shado's instructions were to rush towards mass production.
Tilak has also done a good job, keeping very detailed records of each process, and has even developed a preliminary prototype of a mass production plan.
If Xia Duo hadn't temporarily issued an order for them to conduct research on the permanent magic version of the new communication instrument, they would have completed the mass production of the [Alert Talisman] long ago.
Now this plan actually belongs to Horst Research Laboratory. I don’t know when they had this tacit understanding.
Of course, Xia Duo is also happy to see this. After all, they both belong to the Tower of Time. It would be good if unnecessary repeated research can be reduced as much as possible.
But the problem is, it has been more than ten days, has Horst not achieved anything at all?
Under Shado's gradually turning stern gaze, Horst said bravely: "Except for this, there is also the mass production of magic scrolls. We have completed all of them."
"stop!"
Chateau quickly interrupted Horst. Does the magic scroll still need a whole research room to study how to mass-produce it? Is his magic scroll printing machine fake?
"Dean, tell me what problems you encountered in Horst's laboratory during this time!"
"There are probably two problems. One is that except for those of us who came from Tilak Research Laboratory, everyone else is very resistant to discussion and unwilling to share any ideas. The so-called joint research is almost only discussed by a few of us."
Dean's eyes were clearly filled with emotions as he continued, "As for the Materials Department, the research on the mass production plan still requires materials. Although the Materials Department did not reject it, submitting applications repeatedly is a waste of time.
"
"Any more?"
"That's all for now."
"Well!"
Sha Duo turned his gaze to the others, scanning these mid-level or low-level mages one by one, and then said: "Those who are unwilling to participate in the research on the mass production plan can leave now!"
In the end, no one left, and Xia Duo wasn't surprised. Even if he really had any thoughts, he wouldn't show them in this situation. It was just a tacit understanding.
He continued: "I will transfer people from Tirak Research Laboratory again, and I will also tell Cecily? Let her prepare relevant materials for you in advance, but Horst? Within three days? I need to see the real
The first mass production plan is out!”
"This-" Horst hesitated.
Xia Duo felt unhappy and asked again: "Just asking, can it be done?"
"able!"
Sha Duo glanced at Dean in surprise. Was he the one who spoke just now? As for Horst? After Dean spoke, he immediately agreed.
"It is recommended that you set up an emergency research team and concentrate your superior forces to complete the plan as soon as possible!"
After speaking, Shado left directly without waiting for Horst to answer.
…
Two days later, Chateau received news that the fleet from Severton had arrived at Saville. Along with the ship, in addition to appraisers from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, there were also more than 1,000 new settlers from Chateau.
In order to temporarily avoid Grand Arcanist Vader, Shado did not come forward to hand over the ship. Instead, he asked Mayor Thain to arrange for someone to board the ship for inspection, and then they returned to Daxia to hand over the ship.
As for the appraiser? Xia Duo sent an invitation to Setos, the steward of the Minshui Chamber of Commerce, and asked him to bring the appraiser to the Tower of Time to discuss specific transaction details.
And he has also made preparations in advance, whether it is the communication instrument sample, or Derrick and Aibo as negotiators, they are all available at any time.
…
Niya's study room.
Chateau and Niya sat in front of the window and looked out the window. Outside the window was the depressed scene of Savile Port.
Due to the Drow War, the border trade between Netheril and Cormanthor in Conifera was temporarily suspended. As the transit point closest to the city of Conifera, Savil Territory is now in a state of desolation.
But neither Shaduo nor Niya have any ability to interfere in the Drow war. What they really want to see is not the depressing scene, but the seven or eight ships in the port.
There were more than 1,000 of Chateau's subjects on it. According to Belera, behind this fleet, there were some single ships heading to the southern border.
However, Belera's influence in Severington is limited. If he tries to contact them forcefully, it will inevitably consume a lot of favors and money. In addition, there are many ships with different ownerships and it is not easy to control. This journey will take several months and the risk is not small.
Xia Duo did not ask Belera to contact him anymore. The seven or eight ships he saw in the projection on the window of Niya's study were the only unplanned transportation of the territorial citizens.
As for the plan, Belera's own fleet will send a group of about 700 people in early November, and the mercenary fleet she first contacted and has a contract with will probably have a group of more than 1,000 people in mid-November.
Finally, there is the fleet organized by Hans and other Savile local chamber of commerce. A group of about 500 new immigrants will come back probably in late November.
After that, various fleets can still be used, but it is too late this year. None of the ships he can use now can return to Severington this year.
It is true that Severington can summon new citizens in advance. It only needs to notify the Severington Parliament one month in advance.
But the problem is that once the collection is full, it must be transported immediately. There is no temporary care service there, so we have to do what we can and only collect the number that can be transported.
If there were temporary care services provided there, things would be much simpler. He could have them gather dozens or millions of people at once.
Afterwards, it is very convenient whether you transport it back slowly over several years or transport it when you need someone.
But the reality is that it is simply impossible for him to do this.
Based on the current situation, Xia Duo speculates that by the end of this year, the number of his subjects will reach about 78,000, and it is unlikely that there will be rapid growth like this year.
…
Keeping watching the seven or eight ships slowly leaving Savile Port and heading south, Sha Duo retracted his gaze, picked up the teacup on the table between him and Niya, took a sip, and then said:
"People from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce are coming, and the appraiser they come over this time is likely to be a high-level mage."
