Starting from Zero

Three crystal coins and one overcurrent protector, and each can be used at least 30 times, which is almost no money. Although the protector is not the bulk of the cost of the magic crystal cannon, it can save a little bit, and reducing the cost of the protector can definitely save a lot of money.

"What are the remaining two items?" After the research director finished introducing the formidable power amplifier and overcurrent protector, I couldn’t wait to ask about the remaining two items on the table. use.

The research director put down the overcurrent protector and picked up a bundle of things that looked like a rope, and then handed one of them to me: "Let's release the illumination technique on the other end and try it."< /p>

I Yiyan released an illumination technique on the rope in my hand. As a result, I saw that the end of the research director’s hand suddenly lit up with a dazzling beam of light, as if he was not holding it. The rope is like a light bulb. I glanced at the rope in my hand in surprise, and then took the initiative to turn off the lighting technique, and the rays of light on the other side went out immediately.

"This is the magic wire?"

The research director nodded said: "How? Did you find any difference?"

I picked it up in confusion. I took a look at the wire, and then bend it a few times with my hand. Finally, I suddenly found a difference that surprised me, so I hurried to get closer and took a closer look. After observing for a while, I finally realized the difference between this wire and the original magic wire. "Does this use a single core?"

The magic wire this thing is actually not many people using it. In fact, the use of the magic wire is very wide, and even every player can use it when fighting, and for the guild, this thing is absolutely necessary equipment.

Let’s talk about player applications first. The path of the magic wire on the player is to conduct magic. It can introduce the magic power released by the player from one point, and then release it from the other end of the wire. According to this principle, suppose a mage carries a lot of wires, and then he finds a monster with very fast speed, high level, but very low intelligence. What should this mage do under normal circumstances? Of course it was a detour. If the wizard wants to launch an attack, the opponent will rush towards him immediately after he finishes 1st Strike. Fast speed means that the mage will not have many chances to attack, and will not even have time for a second attack, and high level means that the defense and blood volume are high, and the mage cannot kill the opponent before the opponent approaches. as everyone knows The defense of the mage is quite fragile, once the mage is close, it means that the battle is over.

The above situation is the two choices and consequences of the wizard after encountering this kind of monster under normal circumstances. However, if the mage brought a few magic wires, it would be much simpler. He can first bury a wire in a location where it can attack the monster, and then bury the second wire next to the first wire to align it with the end of the first wire, and then he can also bury the third and the first wire. For four or even the Nth wire, just align the end of the wire with the end of the previous wire. After that, what the mage has to do is to stand on the other end of the buried wire, and then release the attack magic into the first wire, and then the other end of the first wire will release the attack magic to attack the monster. When the monster is attacked, it will rush over immediately, but not the rushing mage, but the location where the end of the wire is buried. If the monster finds the wire at this time, it will attack the end of the wire. Of course, it is also possible that he didn't notice the exposed end of the wire at all, but would continue to rotate in place. During this time, the mage can slowly prepare the second magic, and then instill it into the second wire. I believe everyone has guessed the next part, as long as the magic is continuously instilled one by one, the monster will die sooner or later.

The benefits of using this method are obvious. A mage can use this trick to kill a monster that is much higher than his own. Before this, this was basically impossible. Of course, the above are extreme applications of the magic wire. Under normal circumstances, the method of use is still similar, but it will not be so extreme that a mage can really kill the monster. Under normal circumstances, the mages will not go out to fight alone. They always have a team, and this wire can win the team several attack opportunities. Of course, a wider application should be used to allow nurses to add blood to combat professionals when dealing with certain high-speed and high-intelligence monsters, because when encountering high-speed and high-intelligence monsters, the opponent will often give priority to attacking treatments with weaker defenses. For such occupations, if you can drag a few wires and throw them in the field during the battle, then the nurses will not need to enter the battlefield directly. After all, the intelligence of monsters is limited. Usually they don’t attack enemies that they can’t see. They can only make a priority attack among the enemies within the range of sight. If the opponent can think of off-court Enemy, then he is not a monster, but a member of an NPC force in the wild.

In addition to the above several application methods, players can also use many methods. Just like the birth of every weapon will evolve many corresponding tactics, if the magic wire is used as a weapon, the corresponding tactics will also be Myriad Transformations. However, if you really want to say that the magic wire is important, it should be the guild application field rather than the personal application field, because the purpose of the magic wire is actually to transmit magic energy.

A guild, as long as it is a little higher, will inevitably have its own magic weapons, such as magic crystal cannons. Like those guilds that have their own cities, they not only have magic crystal cannons, but also city shields and even self-defense magic arrays driven by magic power. And if it is a super guild like our Frost Rose League, then magic equipment will cover almost every area of ​​the guild, from city defense to foreign operations, magic weapons are used everywhere.

So many magic weapons consume energy, and it is obviously not cost-effective to use a separate magic crystal energy extraction device. First, it is necessary to install a separate energy converter for each device. Second, it is a small device. The energy extraction rate is definitely not as good as that of large-scale equipment, and the energy loss caused during this period will be very considerable. If a city like Isinger had not used the central power core for centralized energy supply, then Isinger’s energy consumption would have increased by at least 30%. Don’t underestimate this 30%. In terms of Isinger’s magic crystal consumption, under normal circumstances, it’s more than 100 kg a day, and 30% is more than 30 kg. If it’s in combat, Then the consumption per hour may be more than 1,000 kg, and this extra 30% means that each hour uses 300 kg more magic crystal. Although white magic crystal is not a rare thing, it is just like gasoline in reality in the game. Do you say that gasoline is common or not? Think about gasoline expensive? If there is a way to save 30% of the fuel used by the devices that burn swimming, do you think their owners are willing? Anyway, if your brain is not sick, you will definitely be willing.

Because centralized energy supply can save energy, how to transmit magic power has become a top priority. The more commonly used transmission method is the magic channel, like the one used by Isinger. But the magic pipe has a characteristic, that is, it is a solid device, which means that the shape will be fixed after it is produced. If the product is straight, then it is straight. If you have to twist it, you can only use it. Broken, you only need to perform complicated processing before leaving the factory if you want to not break the pipe and make it bend. Therefore, the magic pipes produced by our guild are all straight. When in use, pipes of different lengths can be selected for on-site cutting or splicing. As for the places that need to bend, they can be connected by another special elbow. There are also many types of elbows, but they are generally multiples of forty-five degrees, such as ninety degrees, one hundred and thirty-five degrees, and of course, there is also a split line output interface with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. This aspect is a bit like a water pipe, using straight pipes with elbows to solve the problem of pipe turning.

However, although it is fine to use this method in the general direction, it will be more troublesome if it encounters a platform that needs to be rotated, such as the base of a cannon. Usually when this kind of device needs to be rotated, the method used by most guilds is to export the magic power, and then use the magic soft wire to transfer it. This magic wire can be bent at will or can be stretched and compressed to a certain degree, so as long as it is not the kind of platform that is endlessly turned, it can be easily handled with the magic wire. But the problem is that the special attribute of magic power determines that the magic wire is not as easy to make as the wire. Its technical content is much stronger than that of the magic pipe, so there are very few guilds that can produce it. At present, there are less than 20 guilds that can produce magic wires in the whole world, and the yield rate is extremely low without exception. Our guild's technology is pretty good, and the yield rate is only one-tenth. Note that this yield rate is not to make ten broken and nine roots, but to make ten meters and one meter can be used. This is completely different from making ten broken roots.

If we can make ten wires and break nine wires, it is nothing more than a problem of rising costs for us, but the key is that we are now making 10 meters and 9 meters, and you still don’t know it. Where is the specific fault? This causes the length of the manufactured wire to be short, and we can't control the length at all. If you only need a short wire, if you need a super long wire, it will be miserable. You may not be able to pull out a wire that is hundreds of times the length to make a wire of the required length. Of course, it can also be connected one by one with the transfer interface, but the transfer interface will have the magic loss, and the interface is usually the most prone to failure. If you can use one wire, whoever wants to use a bunch of short wires to connect The line coming out?

In fact, in addition to the platform that needs to rotate, which requires magic wires, other devices also need magic wires. For example, the magic circuit inside some magic equipment, because the design requires the mechanical structure to be as compact as possible, so the magic transmission route is often not straight. At this time, if a flexible wire is used, it will bring a lot of convenience to the overall design of the equipment. And the size of the equipment can also be reduced a lot.

In fact, in addition to the above, for some magic devices that can move, the magic wire is also very important. For example, the mobile angel and battleship of our guild. Our guild’s large battleships all use centralized power cores, which makes our battleship far exceed the average battleship in terms of endurance. Moreover, due to the concentrated use of power cores, it saves a lot of space for our battleships. More importantly, A larger power core means a stronger instant output, so our battleship far exceeds the battleships of other guilds in the formidable power and range of the magic cannon and the acceleration ability of the battleship. This is not only because of the technical problems of the artillery and the propeller, but also because of the power core of the ship.

However, although the centralized power core has many benefits, it also has its troubles. For example, the safety of pipelines. The power pipeline is a fixed line, let alone being interrupted, even if it is bent or deformed or even broken due to vibration, it will cause the transmission of magic power to be blocked. This characteristic means that the magic pipeline is very fragile, and it cannot withstand too severe damage. Although our guild’s battleship will add a special protective layer to the power pipeline, this thing is fragile after all, and it is easy to go wrong with protection.

If we can replace the magic pipeline with the magic pipeline, then things are different. The bendability of the magic pipeline determines that as long as it is not broken, general deformation and bending are not a problem at all for it, let alone the possibility of being shattered by a powerful explosion. Compared with the magic pipeline, the survivability of the magic pipeline is undoubtedly much stronger.

Such as battleship is actually quite good, after all, it can be done with magic channels, but the mobile angel is miserable. The fragility of the magic pipeline determines that it is definitely not suitable for mobile angels, which are unstable devices that often withstand dozens of G overloads. Therefore, we use super expensive magic pipelines and more expensive ones in the mobile angels. Small directional magic power transmission equipment. No matter which of these two devices, they have one thing in common, that is, the word "expensive".

Because the magic wire is so versatile, the benefits are so obvious, and the output and price are so headaches, so I pay so much attention to the wire in my hand. It is necessary to know that the reason why the previous magic wire is difficult to make is because it does not actually use a linear conductor inside, but a winding wire that looks like a spring. There is actually no way to use this method of wiring, because the previous magic wire itself was made of similar materials to the magic pipe, so its elasticity can be described as relatively poor. In order to ensure that the wire will not be broken during the bending process, it can only be It is made into a circle structure like a spring, which not only increases the diameter of the wire but also increases the material consumption. The most important thing is that this bending wiring method greatly increases the difficulty of production, so that the drawn wire will always be Disconnection, which led to such a low output.

However, this wire in my hand is not only very light and soft, but also has a small diameter. The most important thing is that its interface is actually single-core. You must know that the original wire is a spiral wire. There must be a steel cable inside as the main beam, and there must be a magic-resistant metal protective layer on the outside. This set has three layers of cores, plus the resistance The corroded and shock-absorbing coat layer, the entire magic wire is wrapped by the fourth layer. Can you say it is not heavy? But this one in my hand is actually a single core, except for the central wire of unknown material, there is only a layer of anti-corrosion and shock-absorbing protection layer, and the magic layer and the main cable are all gone.

"How much is this cost? What about the yield?" I asked excitedly while holding the wire.

The research director deliberately said slowly: "The cost of this is actually..."

"How much is it?"

"One crystal coin per meter."

"What? That's not the price of cabbage?" It's not that I'm not calm, it's mainly because of the contrast. Do you know how much the original magic wire is? One thousand crystal coins per meter, which is still the average price. Those shorter than one meter and more than half a meter are 500 crystal coins per meter, and those shorter than half a meter are 100 crystal coins per meter. However, the price of the magic wire that is more than 1.5 meters and less than two meters is 10,000 crystal coins per meter. If it is longer, the price is even more difficult, because our guild has pulled out the longest so far. A magic wire is only two meters and two or four meters long. I don't know how long the other guilds will be, but I have never heard of any of them reaching two meters and five meters. The reason for this foundation is that I was so surprised to hear that there is a crystal coin per meter. After all, the price difference is too big compared to the psychological price.

As if the shock to me was not enough, the research director immediately nodded after seeing my surprised expression: "Yes, it is so cheap, because we use single-core wire, and The raw materials are cheaper than the previous raw materials, and the amount used is much smaller. The raw material used to pull one meter of noodles can now be pulled at least three meters. Also, because the wire is much lighter and the strength is much greater, the main cable is cancelled. , This saves a lot of money. The technology we got from the book of energy also helped us solve the problem of magic dissipation, so now this wire can basically be regarded as zero magic resistance, and basically does not consume magic. Based on this feature , We also omitted the magic barrier layer, and as a result, there is only one wire with an anti-corrosion layer. Oh, yes, this anti-corrosion layer is also simplified, because the wire itself is very soft and does not need to be shockproof, so The new anti-corrosion layer is only used for anti-corrosion, so it is not as thick as before."

"Then the price can't be so cheap?"

"Of course it can be made cheaply. In this way, because the new magic wire production method is very simplified, the technical difficulty has plummeted, and the current yield is almost 100%, and there is no material loss at all. Can the price be cheap?"

" The yield rate is 100%?"

"Yes, it is difficult for such a simple route to be produced in a small workshop to estimate it. What's more, it is the high level equipment of our guild?"

"Then how flexible is this thing? Is it easy to break?"

"As long as you don't use it as a traction rope, there is basically no problem of breaking, even if you use it as a skipping rope. ."

"haha, we have made a fortune, and now we can monopolize the production of the magic wire of the whole world. Hey, no, this thing should be a strategic resource, and it is almost the same to sell some to the Iron Crusade. , Hostile or weak allies are not sold. The specific ones who don’t sell and who don’t sell roses will be discussed with them. First, tell me what is the last thing? He took out the metal ball and asked: "What is this for?"
