Chapter 590: Research bears fruit and money rolls in
Searching for different rays in sunlight and proving the existence of such rays does not happen overnight. Of course, this is not a problem for Cerela:
Where to sleep is not sleeping!
When you sleep in the Star Dome, you can return to your original shape, and you can even lie down on the clean, flat marble floor to bask in the sun!
There is also a magic circle that gathers the sun's rays and basks it warmly on the body... and at the same time improves the efficiency of absorbing energy, increases strength, and kills two birds with one stone.
Just remember to open your eyes occasionally and tell them "I found different light, which direction", and that's it!
There are also people who bring the food to your mouth, you can order all you want, and there are people who help brush the scales, and yes, there is money!
You can put the gold coins under your belly and sleep under your body!
On the first day, it was Grete who urged her to get up and send her to work;
Starting from the next day, she automatically got up and caught the train without anyone urging her;
On the third day, before the sun came up, I went to catch the first train!
Grete settled down in Cerela and plunged into his own research. Learn about the progress of the mage tower, hospital, and partner locations one by one:
"Mr. Norwood, how are you doing here?"
The silent middle-aged mage emerged from the laboratory. Before Grete could ask a second question, he dragged a pile of the boss's experimental results and placed them in front of Grete:
"It's done! Mr. Nordmark, we finally made it!"
On the floating dish, there are all kinds of rubber skins, rubber tubes, rubber blocks, and rubber sheets.
Grete casually picked up a rubber tube as thick as his little finger and pulled it slightly in his hand. The rubber tube was stretched out and its softness and uniformity were not as good as those in his previous life, but it felt that it was suitable for use:
"The elasticity is very good! How about the heat resistance? Will it be denatured if it is steamed in high-pressure water vapor at 120 degrees for half an hour?"
"No, no!"
Mr. Norwood patted his chest and took out a pile of test materials to prove the truth of his words:
These requirements were all mentioned by Grete when he first placed the order. The boss specified them and they must be tested!
In addition to heat resistance, there are also various indicators such as acid resistance, alkali resistance, oil resistance, wear resistance, etc., each of which has been tested in detail.
"Well, it looks pretty good..."
Grete flipped through the information and expressed his satisfaction. He grabbed another piece of rubber and concentrated slightly. Under the influence of mental power, the rubber flowed, deformed, and solidified...
From the fingertips to the wrist, a thin layer is attached, turning into a translucent rubber glove.
Finally got some gloves to use.
Happy~
Grete raised his palm, turned it over, and turned it over again. He looked up and down, left and right, and asked Master Norwood:
"If it were you, how much would you pay for a pair of gloves like this?"
"At least one silver coin!"
Master Norwood blurted out without thinking. Looking at Gretel's gloves, his eyes lit up and he almost went up to grab it.
I often walk by the river, and my shoes don't get wet. When doing experiments in the laboratory, those acids, alkalis, and all kinds of weird magic potions will always get on my hands.
With these gloves, at least half of the damage from magic potions can be blocked. What's a silver coin worth?
Not to mention, the gloves bought with a silver coin are not meant to be used only once! They can be used again after being washed; even if there is a hole, it can be repaired by using the transfiguration spell to shape it.
"What about the cost? For one silver coin per pair, do we make a profit?"
"At least 70% of the profit!" Master Norwood counted his fingers happily:
"Mr. Nordmark, what is the cost price of raw rubber products you can buy?"
"stop!"
Just make money if you can. As for the specific costs, benefits, profit margins, and total annual profits, Grete doesn't care much about these things.
He directly wrote a letter, attached the finished product and instructions, and sent it to the Alchemy Guild. Come on, we have a new product here, let’s talk business!
That afternoon, the fat old man, the vice-president of the Alchemy Guild, walked straight to the door:
"Mage Nordmark, do you have new products for your mage tower?"
Not only is it a new product, but it is also a new product series. With a smile on his face, Grete went to the battle in person and showed him a variety of uses:
"Look, if you make a circular tube like this, hollow, and fill it with air, you can make it into a car tire. It can be used to absorb shock, and the effect is very good..."
"It can be made into thicker pipes, which are very convenient for water supply and pumping. I believe that the navy in the parliament will like this rubber pipe very much. It is much more convenient than the leather pipes they use."
"It is processed into a thin skin and attached directly to the outside of the wires. It has a very good insulation effect and is much more convenient than patent leather. How many motors does your workshop sell per year now? How many wires are needed?"
"Processed into a stopper, with a thin layer of skin on the outside, it can be turned down to cover the mouth of a glass bottle. It is much easier to use as a bottle stopper than cork, and it can effectively prevent air leakage. Magicians and pharmacists who need this, I believe
There will be a lot…”
"Rubber tubes with needles are the most convenient for blood transfusions. Most of the healers in the army are Ares priests. They won't cause vines to grow, right?"
"I don't need to talk about gloves. I believe that every mage, and even every mage apprentice, will need a pair as long as they do experiments with their own hands. In fact, I suggest that they become standard equipment in the laboratory."
"It can also be made into raincoats and rubber shoes, which are extremely waterproof and can greatly enhance mobility in rainy days..."
Gretel kept talking, and the assistant the old man brought was burying his head in writing. How did this Nordmark mage do it? He could come up with so many uses for things as soon as they came out...
Hey, hey, please stop saying a few words. The more products you propose, the more licensing fees we have to pay! The profits are different between selling raw materials and selling mature products!
The old man himself, while flipping through the test forms, oozed mental energy to feel the rubber skins, rubber blocks, and rubber tubes:
Well, it has good elasticity, good ductility, wear resistance, and heat resistance. By adding different materials and processing them in different ways, you will get a variety of products...
This kind of thing has great potential!
Alas, their own magicians clearly saw rubber, but why didn't they study it in depth? It's not easy to make sealing gaskets for steam engines, but they can be used for other things!
"We want the authorization for this product and all subsequent research and development based on it. Master Nordmark, can you give us a price regarding the authorization conditions?"
Grete laughed happily.
Authorization must be granted. Just because the old man helped him solve the problem of the gold box last time and didn't let him continue to burn chips, Grete owed him a big favor;
There is no need to cut the price too hard, the alchemy workshop has rules and everyone has always cooperated well, so he will not be treated badly;
It is necessary to ensure the supply of products. After all, hospitals have almost endless demand for rubber blood transfusion tubes, rubber tourniquets, rubber gloves, rubber bottle stoppers and the like;
The first payment of 1,000 gold coins will be received immediately. Even if 500 gold coins are given to Master Norwood, the remaining 500 gold coins will be enough to give pocket money to the spellcasters brought by Gretel!
One year is enough!
And then, more importantly...
"Remember to show me the new stuff you come up with! Maybe I can give you some advice or help you sell it or something!"
"no problem!"
Gretel soon regretted it. After signing the contract, the first new product delivered to him was a palm-sized, cylindrical, open-end, thin to translucent rubber bag...
"I asked, why should your creativity be used in this direction first?!"
