With the support of sufficient manpower and material resources, the alchemy factory on the edge of the town was finally officially completed. During the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the factory, Gawain also agreed for the first time to let Rebecca throw a few big fireballs into the sky from a safe distance. To add to the fun, the magical flames that exploded in the sky are not only a celebration, but also a message to the people. Soon the people on this land will know that their survival has been further guaranteed. There is no shortage of food, clothing, or heating. firewood, and by now they will have no shortage of medicines.
Most people don't understand the principle of the new "alchemy factory", nor do they understand the connection between the metal pipes and pots brought into the factory and the magical art of alchemy, but the poster posted on the central square of the town The announcement can clearly tell them that with this new facility, there will be no shortage of all healing potions and druid potions needed for farming in the entire territory, and the newly opened alchemy shop on Trade Street will sell cheap All kinds of medicine, the price is so low that even the poorest people can afford it, which is undoubtedly very exciting news for everyone.
In the workshop of the alchemy factory, Gao Wen was inspecting the first batch of rejuvenation potions produced.
These medicines are packed in finger-sized man-made crystal bottles, neatly packed in a wooden box with many grids, and soft wood chips are filled around the medicine bottles to prevent collision damage during transportation. According to Gao Wen's request, these alchemy potions were neatly packaged, and they were also affixed with matching "labels". Each crystal bottle was pasted with a small piece of paper, which stated the name of the potion, its effect, and production. The date and the date of expiry, and the emblem of Cecilland is printed on it.
This unified label is particularly novel to many people, especially the "expiration date" label on it is even more novel, because traditional alchemy potions rarely consider the issue of "expiration" and all alchemy potions are made by extraordinary professionals. Made by hand, the output is very limited, and the supply is always in short supply. Their users are usually nobles of all sizes or superhumans who need to go to the battlefield. The former naturally have their own cronies or magic consultants to manage the potions in the treasure house. Well, they don't need to think about the issue of expiration, and the potions in the latter's hands often don't stay until they expire, so those traditional alchemists will at most put a name on the bottle after configuring the potion, and the expiration date... I will leave it to " users" to care about themselves.
But of course the products produced by the factory cannot be like this. Gao Wen must instill standardized ideas in the people on the territory from the very beginning.
Now everything is in the initial stage, and the content on the label is of course very crude, but even so, the neat and uniform labels and pleasing packaging of the mass-produced potion still left a deep impression on the people present, Rui Becca looked at the potions neatly stacked on the table with wide eyes, and couldn't help scratching her hair: "It's so strange... It's an inexplicable pleasure to see these bottles neatly placed together..."
"Your obsessive-compulsive disorder has been satisfied," Amber standing aside explained with a very understanding face, and then pointed to Gao Wen, "I didn't say you were sick, these words are yours. What my ancestors said."
"It's the first time I've seen precious alchemy potions piled up in this way..." Hetty also said with emotion, "Suddenly it feels like they're worthless."
"In fact, compared with ordinary alchemy potions, they are indeed 'worthless', ma'am," Pittman said proudly standing by the table, "Originally the biggest cost of alchemy potions was the caster, but now the reaction tank The magic device matched with it has replaced the position of the caster, and the amount of potion that can be produced by this big guy running once is not comparable to a few flasks and test tubes on a small alchemy table. In fact, these potions in front of you The most valuable part of it is not the liquid inside at all, but something that none of you can imagine."
"The most valuable part?" Rebecca blinked, "The potion itself is not worth much, so what is it worth?"
"Bottles," Pittman spread his hands, "the cost of these crystal bottles is even higher than the liquid medicine inside, if a bottle of medicine sells for 30 copper coins, then at least 15 copper coins inside are actually buying bottles. "
Amber was taken aback: "Bottles are so expensive?!"
"The bottle hasn't become more expensive, but the production cost of the potion is too low." Rebecca had already realized it, and she looked at Gao Wen thoughtfully, "My lord ancestor, I remember you mentioned before that there is a Man-made crystal called 'glass' will be cheaper than all the man-made crystals we have today... ”
Gao Wen coughed twice in embarrassment: "Ahem, glass... don't think about it for now, I haven't found an alternative production material yet."
It is said that the three treasures of the time traveler, paper-making glass and black gunpowder, but none of these three things Gao Wen has caught. This world already has paper-making technology. Although there is room for improvement, it is already a mature technology, and it is not his turn. Let's "invent" again, black powder is a project that failed in the early stage of territory construction, and as for glass...
This world has the special technology of "artificial crystal". According to Gao Wen's judgment, the most common "white crystal" in artificial crystal is actually "glass" that can be realized in this world. The main material of this artificial crystal is quartz sand And colorless crystal rock, and these two things... are magic materials.
Fortunately, quartz sand is the cheapest magic material, but colorless crystal rock... Although it cannot be said to be expensive, it is definitely more expensive than sand. Before a substitute is found, crystal rock is the highest in the process of making artificial crystal the cost of.
"It's actually good. The smaller the artificial crystal vessel, the easier it is to manufacture, and the bottle of the alchemy potion is the cheapest crystal bottle, which is already considered very cheap," Pittman explained, "Our alchemy potion is already expensive in terms of cost. There are unimaginable advantages, the bottle is a little more expensive...it doesn't matter much."
Hetty nodded: "That makes sense. But I'm a little worried, the alchemy potion made with these metal jars and magic circles... Can the effect really be as good as the potion prepared by druids, alchemists, and mages? ?”
"You don't have to worry about this at all," Pittman laughed proudly when he heard this, "In fact, in my opinion, the potions produced in the alchemy factory are much more reliable than those produced on the alchemy table These reaction tanks and magic circles have been precisely prepared. As long as the initial settings are correct, the raw materials are correct, and the reaction vessels themselves are not faulty, then they can guarantee that each bottle of potion will It's not bad, but traditional alchemists have high or low skills, and even the best alchemists sometimes miss it. Many so-called side effects of alchemy potions are actually caused by this. Under certain circumstances, they will make a potion that is better than the factory potion, but you can imagine how many defective products will flow out of their colleagues' workshops while they are making a good potion? And in the process How much quality medicine can be produced in our factory?"
Pittman's face was flushed, and even his beard was blown up. Seeing this, Amber couldn't help muttering: "That's like... an old and unscrupulous person who talks more and more like an old rice dumpling recently..."
Immediately, all the non-deaf people at the scene looked at her, and several voices said in unison: "What did you say?"
Amber's pointed ears tensed up suddenly, and she jumped two or three meters: "Are you an elf or am I an elf! Why are everyone's ears so sharp!"
"I'm focusing on your mouth. As soon as you open your mouth, I'll sieve the sand out." Gawain glared at the half-elf who was running the train with his mouth full, and then looked at Heidi. "These potions are given priority to meet the supply and sales within the territory." , In addition, the army also needs to distribute potions to each soldier to ensure that each soldier has three rejuvenation potions and three disease-dispelling potions in reserve under any circumstances. You can count them and reserve them after meeting these requirements Fifty percent of the medicine reserves, everything else is packed, and Cecil's first signature product is them."
Hetty sighed from the bottom of her heart: "Based on this alone, Cecil's combat regiment is probably the most extravagant army in the world."
Gawain smiled: "From the time we distributed the enchanted equipment to everyone, they already have it."
At this moment, the door of the workshop was suddenly opened, and an apprentice walked in quickly. He came to Gao Wen and others to salute respectfully, and reported: "My lords, the carriage from Kant has passed the bridge." .”
"It seems that Mr. Patrick has arrived." Gawain turned around and patted the packing box of the alchemy potion. "Pack up this batch of samples and send them to the Lord's Mansion. I want to talk to that person personally." Speak to the gentleman who has been praised by Philip Cavalier."
And when Cecil's alchemy potion trade line kicked off on this historic day, a special gathering was being held in an unknown hidden temple within the Typhon Empire.
The hidden temple is shrouded in a dignified atmosphere. A circle of seats is placed in the center of the main circular hall. The surfaces of those seats are engraved with patterns of closed eyes that represent dreams. Part of the chairs are like living creatures in the dark. The center was wriggling slightly, while a large number of nerve cords extended from the holes in the ground and walls, connecting with the biological parts of those seats.
More than a dozen people in white or black robes stood around the seats, with weird smooth masks on their faces, which made it impossible to judge the identity of each of them from their faces, nor could they see any of their faces. Expression changes.
One of the men in white robes stood up, looked around, and heard a low and indisputable voice from under the mask: "Very well, everyone is here, so 22, you will preside over this ceremony."
The white-robed man and the black-robed man each took their seats in front of their seats, while a black-robed man raised his hand: "Then, let's start the seventeenth 'deep dive test', trying to crack Gawain Se The memory fragments that escaped from Syl. Nightmare bishops, send a signal to your 'subordinate node group', and the connection will start in a minute.
"Everyone, safety first."
