After Loran Hill and the other two arrived at the beach, they looked around and soon found Ledes and others in the beach restaurant, eating cold drinks on the open-air balcony on the second floor.

Nia waved her hand on top, and the three people below responded, and then walked over to this side.

"Do you want to eat ice cream?"

Several people turned over the dark walls and stairs, walked up the second floor, and saw Letis saying to the people.

The restaurant is in a very good location. On a small hill, you can overlook most of the harbor. On the spacious open-air balcony on the second floor, there are parasols and small tables. There are rectangular wooden flower pots around it. There are low flowers and plants growing inside, and a few round poles form a guardrail, which is quite poetic and picturesque.

"You want to eat~" Lily likes sweets in particular, jumps and answers, and then walks over briskly.

After the three of them sat down, they soon served a few cups of ice cream dotted with cherries.

Blowing the warm and comfortable sea breeze and drinking the cold juice, the few people began to talk about what they saw today.

"I saw a lot of new things, and some liked them very much." Lily said, and Bumansha and Niya agreed quite well.

"Of course, these are all huge changes brought about by technological innovation." Letis said proudly. As a descendant of the mage born by Rurn, he was naturally quite proud of it.

"It's indeed more comfortable." Alena agreed, but she didn't envy Rurna's new invention, because the Southern Islands under the Hinaki Parliament were also well developed. Both have their own advantages.

"What do you think of Lorran?" Bumansha looked at the girl who was quietly drinking juice.

"My?" Lolan Hill had experienced similar things in his previous life, so naturally he did not suffer a big impact. She just felt that the current technology was not developing fast enough.

Rurn or Oz, the country of Oz, has reached a very high level in the past few hundred years of mechanical and power technologies, but it has not been popularized as quickly as in previous lives, but has slowed down.

She was also thinking about the reasons just now. After all, this world is different from her previous life.

"It feels very good, but why is it not popular on a large scale? This is Yubaire. Although it is good in all aspects, other small places are still the same." Lorran Hill answered.

"It's probably because I can't afford it." Niya said with emotion. Good things are always expensive.

"It's a bit expensive, but there's the cost." Letis said with his finger raised.

"The purchase, refining, processing, etc. of raw materials are all cost and cost."

"What links are expensive and expensive?" Lorran Hill asked with interest. She wanted to know what everyone in the world thinks. Several of her companions are from all over the world.

"First of all, it's the material." Letis felt deeply about this. She herself came from the Rurn alchemy faction.

"The metal ore is mined from various countries and then transported. Every time the hand is turned, every time we pass a noble level, we need to pay for it. Finally, when we buy it from the merchant, it is difficult to lower the price."

"Manpower is also the reason." Alena talked about her own experience. She came from the Southern Islands, where the population has never been very dense.

"Many people want to farm, fish, do miscellaneous work, etc., but not many locals can recruit jobs."

"Then let people from other places come." Lily asked simply and directly.

"Foreigners come so far, they must give more money, otherwise they might as well stay at home. Moreover, when outsiders come, local food may not be able to support them, so they have to import food again, so they will be even higher."

"That's how it is." Lily felt a little disappointed.

"About this, the profit margin is not large enough." Lorran Hill thought.

The high cost of materials and labor makes the profit margin of goods smaller and the price is difficult to be cheap, and only a small number of people can afford it, so the market cannot be expanded.

The market is not big, and the overall profit ceiling is not high. This leads to the fact that relevant technologies and products have not expanded explosively, but have made steady progress.

"But it's getting better now." Letis said, holding the cup, looking at the busy port.

"After the merger of Rurnah and Velga, the resources, land, population, and market have expanded a little, not as difficult as before."

"If the Frost Rose continues to expand and merge the resources of the entire Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua, it must be able to break through the previous confinement." Alena said with sighing.

"Without the previous restrictions on setting up card for aristocrats in various places, the import price of raw materials can be reduced, and in addition, the population can be moved, labor costs can also be reduced." Lolan Hill added.

"Yeah, that's it, isn't it very awesome?" Letis said cheerfully.

"But, what I, Alena, likes to do the most is to break the fantasy of your alchemy." Alena raised her finger.

"?" Letis looked at Alena with some confusion.

"Our Hinamori Sect is not bad either. If we do it, the effect will definitely be good. It is really hard to say which side will win in the future." Alena waved her finger.

"Okay, okay, don't argue with you two."

Bumansha came out to smooth things over. Although Alena and Letis had been roommates for more than a year, they were like enemies, and their ideas were always different.

After sitting on the second floor of the restaurant for a while, then returned to where he lived, Alena and the other two also retrieved the instruments they bought.

At the dinner table, the two continued their previous arguments.

"It's easy to cool down, preserve food, or make ice cream with alchemy props." Letis said of the advantages of the alchemy genre.

"This is not difficult. There is a conch in our Southern Archipelago. After improvement, it has a natural inscription. As long as a little magic crystal is added, it can release air conditioning. It does not use metal to make it, and it is even less likely to break."

"But the output is not high, and the cycle is also long."

"The yield is not low. Some islands have specialized in the shallow sea areas to cultivate such conchs. With only a few mages to maintain, there are thousands of them in a year. Your production model requires more metals and mages." Alena retorted.

"What about magic motorcycles or even airships, you can't popularize this." Letis once again threw out the advantages of his school.

"This, although the vehicles are not good, our special pack beasts are more adaptable to various road conditions and can travel everywhere without building roads." Alena continued.

...

Loran Hill listened quietly to the two of them, feeling a burst of novelty, and at the same time slowly clarified the characteristics and advantages of the two factions.

The alchemy school undoubtedly overlaps with the industrial machinery in previous lives. Heavy industry, large machinery, unified standards, and production capacity do have an advantage.

However, Hizuki Yishang also has many advantages in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and coping with various environments. It is small and flexible, with low material demand, and other aspects.
