Chapter 587: Cost design and production method

The sixth floor of the Tower of Time, Tilak Research Room.
When Xia Duo came here, the door of the research room was open, and a group of people were sitting in the reception room chatting. Seeing Xia Duo coming, all of them stood up.
A trace of doubt flashed in Xia Duo's eyes, but he quickly reacted. It should be that he asked Taling to notify the members of the Tower of Time just now, so that these people knew that he had returned to the Tower of Time and made such a response.
Intellectually, Xia Duo did not agree with such a form, but it was indeed not annoying to fall on him. I skipped these thoughts and took the initiative to say hello:
"Tilak, Dean, are you still waiting for me here? Don't do this next time!"
"We happen to be during the break time, and it's not a special wait." Tilak said with a smile.
But Xia Duo didn't take this seriously. If it was a break, would it be necessary to drive all the apprentices away, leaving only the official mage? Furthermore, he hadn't heard of any rest time for the Tower of Time.
Even if there is, it is the official mage who wants to take a break, and then there is a break. This has nothing to do with the apprentice.
"Well, let's not talk about this, take me to see [Warning Talisman]!"
"Well, Master Xia Duo, please come with me!" Tilak reached out and led the way, "[Warning Talisman] is in my bedroom, always on, and there is a finished product placed in the green bead forest for testing. Its limit time."
The private residence of the mage in the Tower of Time, or the research room, has the same internal layout. It is not far from the reception room to the bedroom. When the two of them first stepped into the bedroom, Xia Duo heard a harsh hum. The sound, obviously the effect of [Warning Talisman] is not bad.
At Chateau's signal, Tilak didn't stop the alarm immediately, but kept it ringing. After about ten seconds, the sound stopped.
Xia Duo noticed that the warning barrier had not disappeared because of the sound of the alarm, so he turned and shouted in the direction of the reception room, "Dean, come here!"
Hearing the sound, Dean walked over quickly. Like Chateau and Tillak, when he first entered the bedroom, the alarm sounded again.
"Sami, Edridge, come here too, come in at the same time!"
Sammy and Edridge did it, and they had done similar experiments many times inside the research room. When they entered the enchantment at the same time, two almost identical ear-piercing buzzing sounds rang.
Although these two alarm sounds sound exactly the same, and they overlap more like only one sound, they can still be clearly distinguished as two sounds.
Chateau looked at the silver cube metal block on Tilak’s bedroom desk that could almost be grabbed, and nodded with satisfaction. Although there was still a gap with the [Warning Magic] performed by the wizard himself, it was not for adventurers in dangerous areas. In other words, such a [Warning Talisman] is completely enough.
"Except for the shape and size, I am very satisfied with other aspects."
Although he didn't actually pick it up, Xia Duo knew that most of the silver cube metal block was silver, and the weight was definitely not small, and the shape didn't seem to be portable.
After listening to Chateau’s evaluation, Tillak explained:
"The use of this shape is to maximize the adaptation to the internal mithril components. In addition, this volume is the smallest volume at the lowest cost. If you want to adjust to other shapes, you need to adjust the mithril components, or even add mithril. If you want to reduce the volume, you need to increase the amount of Mithril, and the cost will increase a lot.
"It's okay, as long as it is convenient for buyers to carry, use, and is slightly more expensive, they won't care at all!" Xia Duoxiang even said that privacy is exchanged for convenience. Now he just raises the cost slightly, which will not affect sales at all. .
After all, the cost of this cube amulet is only about 200 gold coins, and even higher will be lower than the cost of other similar magic items on the market. This is the advantage brought by technological progress.
Moreover, his cost has increased. It is entirely possible to increase the price in the same proportion, transfer this part of the cost to the buyer, and even charge a premium for the ease of use of the product. There are too many things to calculate.
Tilak nodded his head seemingly, "I know, I will finish the adjustment as soon as possible next."
"Don't worry about this. Apart from taking a look at the [Warning Talisman], there is another important thing that I need to tell you!"
Back in the reception room, Xia Duo was about to talk about the communication artifacts, but Dean inserted at this time, "Is it related to the meeting the day after tomorrow that Taring just notified?"
"Not relevant, but also relevant!"
Xia Duo glanced at the people and saw that they were full of doubts. Then he took out a thick pile of materials from the dimension bag, handed them to Dean, motioned him to distribute them to everyone, and then explained:
"These data record a new type of communication spell, and the manufacturing data of the communication artifacts based on this new type of communication spell. You can take a look at it first!"
With that said, Xia Duo took out two unencrypted and unencapsulated semi-finished communication instruments and put them on the table in the reception room~EbookFREE.me~ This is actually the laboratory version he first manufactured, and it has now passed. After a long period of testing, it was still undamaged.
Now it is given to Tilak and the others so that they can have a reference when developing and designing the "[Eternal Magic] Communication Magical Device".
【Permanent Magic】type magic item combines the advantages of "Mithril component type magic item" and "[Magic constant] type magic item". Of course, to a certain extent, it also has the disadvantages of both.
However, the biggest advantage of permanent magic items is not the advantages of the use level, but the cost is greatly reduced compared with those two manufacturing methods.
Of course, if you must pursue high-quality goods, most of the time it is better to use the two methods of [Mithril Component] or [Magic Constant] to make magic items.
For example, the several communication artifacts made by Xia Duo before were all manufactured using the [Mythril component] method.
...
After a while, Tilak closed the information. He looked at Xia Duo, and his eyes showed some confusion and doubts, "Mage Xia Duo, this [Mignet Background News] is a 2nd-level spell?"
"Yes! I know that most people on your side have not been exposed to the second layer of the magic net, but you don't have to worry, the situation will change soon!"
"It has something to do with the meeting the day after tomorrow?" Tilak asked the question again.
"Yes." Xia Duo didn't conceal it, and there is no need to conceal it.
Although he is now Niya's substitute, and before returning from Sevinton this time, he discussed with Niya about the transformation of the outdated tower, but the mage is a mage after all, and he cannot tell the transformation without saying a word. I was going to ventilate the members of the Tower of Time in advance.
