Chapter 384 Thinking about Changes
Cross-border trade on the same planet often has disputes and even wars, so cross-planet and cross-world trade is more likely to have problems. Decades of development are enough to form a crushing generation difference, while different technical systems, separated and then each - or lead - developed for hundreds or thousands of years, will form advantages that are difficult to understand similar miracles.
If you turn a blind eye to the difference between technology and productivity and do not restrict cross-world trade, the result of infinite pursuit of interests is that all other economies and production systems except one winner are destroyed. At this time, everyone looks at each other. The separation of the technical system makes no one guarantee that they will win, and the huge span of the multiverse in space and time cannot guarantee that the current victory is the final victory, so a common point is formed. In the short period of mutual deterrence, the rules of cross-world trade were created on the basis of common points.
"Resources and general daily consumer goods are OK, but all fresh and production tools cannot be sold to the low-tech world. Technology, humanities, art, religion, belief, and worldview products and media are also included in the prohibited operation list. Technical and low-level items can be sold, but they cannot be dumped. That is, he can sell me bread, but wheat seeds cannot; clothes can be done, but looms cannot; long swords and heavy crossbows can be done, but guns cannot." Feiqi took a note while watching, treating it as a contract, and looking for loopholes in it with the methods and experience of the contract demon.
Baiqi grocery stores purchased very few things, or there is no product that can be produced in Yongli Continent. Feiqi thought about it carefully based on his memory. Indeed, what can be produced in Yongli Continent is crushed by the earth in terms of quality and quantity, not to mention that the varieties are not complete. But what if we consider things that have not been produced yet?
"Toys," Feiqi compared the two lists and found a feasible direction. "Shani, he sells toys, which refers to safe and harmless entertainment products that children aged six and under can operate, excluding the knowledge and worldview education category. This category is very interesting, you can operate it and produce toys and sell them."
"Selling toys is a serious business, but what exactly do you sell?"
"First, second, must be fun, third,... it is very important not to be easily imitated. I am very clear about the ability to crack, learn, and imitate that world (Feich himself does this), and they can even develop further, which is better than the original one. The fourth is the consideration of cost and profit." Feich thought for a while, then snapped his fingers: "I have a plan!"
He bent down, put his palm on the ground, then spread his wings and released evil spirits, using the characteristics of the seventh floor of Hell to exchange for items, and a slender branch appeared in his palm. He used his sharp nails as a carving knife, processed the branches carefully, and then engraved the magic runes on it. After about half an hour, a wooden magic wand was made.
The wand is thirty centimeters long and has no sharp or sharp parts on the surface. The thousands of runes used are arranged in a dense array, just in between the fingers to prevent slipping. Feiqi gently waved the wand, drew a circle in the air and pointed forward, shooting an orange ball of light from the top of the wand, shaking and moving forward three meters quickly, and exploded like a miniature firework in the sound of "swoosh~~~b!". More than a dozen colorful light bands like chrysanthemum filaments bloomed and then dangled and drifted, disappearing quickly. Shani looked at it with concentration, waiting for the next change, but found that it was all.
"Toy." Feiqi used these two words to summarize its function in the word "Shaanie". Shani also followed suit, draw a circle and then pointed forward, and the wand would emit a fluorescent ball that was neither bright nor hot, without any power and no threat. It exploded with the sound of "Shaan~~bang!". The only feature was that the color combination of the light band was different every time it exploded.
"This... what's so fun about this?" Shani said, but she still emitting more than 30 fluorophores without getting tired of it, and then returned the wand to Feich. She noticed the smile on Feich's face, and felt embarrassed, so she found a new excuse: "I quickly got annoyed when I looked at the fluorophores. Is there no such thing on Qian Jing?"
"If there is no such thing, you will definitely sell crazy. At that time, many children will be holding this magic wand and playing with each other." Feiqi thought for a while, then snapped his fingers again: "What's missing if you sell it like this..."
He looked at the relatively thick bottom of the wand and used spell to dig out a groove. "Save a battery here - the artificial version of the elemental gem in our magic gun, which can only provide a little lightning energy. A small electric light is installed on the wand, which is forced to light up when used, so that it can explain how the emitted fluorescent balls are powered."
"Aren't magic wands all provided energy by soul power?"
Feiqi nodded: "That's right. But people on Earth cannot understand magic. They are more familiar with the application of electricity - this design is a necessary concealment. Shani, what they do with electricity is beyond your imagination, and some of them are not as good as my magic."
"It sounds like their world is also protected by the Goddess of Truth!" Shani always had a way to understand Feiqi's words.
There is really no Goddess of Truth on Earth. Will this affect the effect of the wand? Feiqi looked at the toy wand again and felt that there is still something that can be improved. The magic runes are the best in Yongli Continent. When they go to hell, their power will be reduced a little, but their functions can still be realized. But the earth is another environment, can magic runes still be used?
If you want to ensure the effect, then the hell runes are a safer choice than the magic runes. He is not sure about the other side that the earth world is indeed related to hell, otherwise that guy Qian Jing would not be able to do the hell business. Well, I have to change the runes, but this is not all improvement.
There are still risks in using the power of the soul. When encountering Rogers' physique, he fainted suddenly, which was a major safety accident. Through the magic school's continuous understanding of Rogers, Feiqi did have a way to prevent dizziness, but this required a large number of rune magic circles to further ensure safety, which would seriously affect the cost and was inconsistent with the need for miniaturization. Feiqi decided to change his mind, put himself from the perspective of the earthlings, and then cracked the magic wand to see if there was any method to achieve localization.
This is a crack that he has never used before: cracking something he knows completely. "If this rune can be driven with electricity, not the soul... not the soul..."
He fell into deep thought, and his whole body was thinking "forcedly". Magic spells, hell runes, and the lightning magic spells of Goddess of the Truth Thunder, all gathered together at this moment and kept moving closer to the direction of the earth's electrical industry. He regarded the battery as an elemental gem, extracted energy, supplied energy, and then converted into the power to drive the runes.
The spell that shoots fluorescent balls does not just require electricity - from the magic explanation, it is the seven-element gem - this is enough. It is a mixed application of fire, air and earth elements. The soul has the power to change the world and is the best provider of this mixed energy. A simple battery cannot do this. Installing fire and earth elements gems in advance is increased again, and it will be very troublesome to maintain.
The design of any product is produced in the process of continuous adjustment and choice, and the magic wand is no exception. Adding elemental gems is a lazy way. It is better to stuff spiritual coins directly into the magic wand and extract the soul power of the spiritual coins, so as to ensure that it can be used for ten thousand years.
He looked at the wand over and over again, and after a million thoughts turned in his mind, a thought suddenly appeared: Is there any material that can provide energy similar to the fire element and earth element, and can be used as the basic material of the wand? The wand in his hand is wood, is it feasible to replace the wood?
"Composite materials, alloys, alchemy paint..." After throwing the wood, the idea was instantly broadened. Toys are consumables, and children will soon break when they fight. Really, magic wands must be considered long-term and effective. Ten years are just the beginning. If you give the elves a magic wand, you will not be able to take advantage of it without a validity period of a hundred years. But this is not a "wire", but a "toy". One year's life span is enough to give the naughty kids.
"It's not just that you want long-term effects. Use elemental gems to make collections, commemorative editions, special editions, and then charge more money." This is the devil in Feiqi's mind talking. The devil is the earliest merchant in the multiverse. "Use flint powder as the main material to carry out alchemy transformation, plus some hell runes cooperation... Well, some elemental gems should be added inside, which is also in powder state, and only a little bit is enough. Yes, this is enough to simulate the fire element and earth element, and flint is flint..."
He designed and experimented. The best thing about the seventh floor of Hell is that it is convenient to do experiments. As long as he has a good impression of hell, he can summon various materials. The amount of flint is large and cheap, and it is almost as much as you want. The alchemy materials are more complicated, but Feiqi knows how to prepare them, so it is not difficult. After many experiments, he found that the method of using ceramic as the base and connecting the wooden poles is the most suitable. This is similar to the concept of ivory cane. The part that touches the hand is a material, and the other one that is poked out is another. The composite stone feels round and can dig out battery tanks that are not easy to deform. The part of the wood is easier to carve hell runes, greatly saving labor costs for processing and manufacturing.
In this way, the 1.0 version of Toy Dance Magic Wand was finalized, and the rest was to calculate the cost and set a reasonable price. Feiqi simply summoned a scroll and began to write all the materials and production steps on it.
"Flint and gypsum are grinded and mixed according to weight ratio, pressed clay and other ingredients, molded with molds, and then calcined. The wood also needs to be processed and cut, but it only needs to be determined by the runes and the part connected to the ceramics, and the rest of the natural development..." From the design function to the design process, this is the most important step before entering actual production. "After both parties are nested, they must be clamped with an iron piece to facilitate the connection of the runes arrays of the two parts. Fortunately, after the soul does not need energy, the runes are reduced by 60%, which saves much trouble. Can you directly press the hell runes on the wand?"
During the experiment, Feiqi can complete it manually, but he must consider how to manufacture it on a large scale. Carving runes on items is a skill that every magic user must master. The spell scroll is based on this skill, but this method that relies on human power is destined to not improve efficiency. Feiqi learned magical object manufacturing technology from Fire Dwarfs and other mages, after repeated practice and improvement, can barely be regarded as a "master". He cannot require every maker to be a master, and then he is still making toy wands for him.
"No, no, it depends on manpower, produce one by one. This is too slow and has no benefits at all. It will be a headache to consume the magician's own magic power to carve runes. Moreover, such manual craftsmanship is also a bottomless pit in quality control..." Feiqi stopped his action and re-entered the state of thinking. The market has created demand, and demand forces reform, which is essentially "those who are poor think of change."
Shani looked at Feiqi who was thinking focused. Although he was now in the Deep Demon, he still had a strong charm and deeply attracted her. She also watched Feiqi busy there, guessing his thoughts, and trying to keep up with his ideas. The continuous efforts made her unable to help but speak, "How about using spiritual coins at this time?"
Feiqi clapped his hands suddenly, rushed over and hugged Shani, and kissed her hard. "You are so smart! How did you come up with this wonderful idea? Although I can figure it out, this time it's really slower than you. Shani, you are so awesome!"
"It happened to me suddenly, don't praise me like that."
"I should praise you because of your words, the entire magic manufacturing industry will change." Feiqi was so excited that his thinking was completely opened, and he connected the manufacturing of magical objects at a certain point with the industrial manufacturing he knew in his previous life.
"The mana consumed by a magician is essentially an application of soul power. It only depends on its own mana and soul power, which is the level of the workshop; using spirit coins is a factory-level practice. The process of turning runes representing rules from patterns to capable of withstanding mana and forming spells is called enchantment, and the soul power in the spirit coins can also be enchanted under the guidance of a specific rune array..."
When Feiqi thought of this, the corresponding rune array had already been completed in his mind. The difference between handicrafts and industry is the use of large-scale machines, which handed over a large number of repetitive work to specific machines, and people completed the manufacturing process through machines rather than fingers and physical strength. The magic rune array has also changed from serving "products" to serving "manufacturing tools". The importance of this level of leap cannot be overstated. Shani cannot understand it yet, but Feiqi must be aware of it.
Soon, he completed the design of the entire "spirit coin-enchant" rune array. "Haha, as I thought, it is impossible to complete enchantment with just spiritual coins, and human souls must participate in it. That's right! My theory has withstood the test!"
If spiritual coins, rune arrays and machines can create magical items, then "soul changes the world" will be impacted. Spirit coins are just things that store soul energy without any initiative. For the devil, spiritual coins are things like sugar and Snickers, which can provide the energy consumed and can be used to advance (transform), but cannot be used to create prayers and inferior demons.
The devil often says that "spirit coins are dead, people are alive", which refers to this principle. Energy is different from the willingness and ability to change the world. This is also a person who knows magic to manipulate the machine to complete the enchantment work. "This time, even if people are still needed, they do not consume mana! The manipulator is just a medium, just a catalyst, and the consumption is borne by the spirit coins! Hahaha, this can be produced on a large scale! Shani, your idea is revolutionary, subversive, and fundamental! This equipment for making magic wands is named after your name! It's called Shani Staff Maker! "
