Lin Hu continued: "In fact, the cost problem, the construction of the main array is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is the communication consumption between the array flags and the array flags. ”

Ma Shang's greedy voice came: "Yes, to establish a main array, you need more than 100 million spirit stones, and this is not the main problem, but the cost in use is very high, the distance is far and near, which greatly affects the cost, and now I can break even at most, and I don't make any money." ”

Lin Hu rolled his eyes.

I don't know if this guy's words are true.

But Lin Hu is sure that it is impossible not to make money, otherwise you Ma Shang can continue to do it?

Even if it is true that there is no money in terms of operation, as far as Lao Zhu is concerned, there is still a secret communication channel, a means used by the masters of the Royal Beast Sect to communicate.

For this alone, I'm afraid that the Imperial Beast Sect will post money for him to support it.

Lin Hu immediately asked: "In the final analysis, there are still too few people who use it, and if the number of users can go up to a higher level, the cost will naturally be reduced." ”

"Not many people can afford it." Ma Shang said greedily.

At this point, Bai Jianshi and Gong Yi were clever, and even Lao Zhu nodded secretly.

It's too expensive, to calculate the spirit stones, take a few breaths, even if there are dozens or hundreds of spirit stones, the ancestors of the Guo family will hesitate to do this, let alone promote it, if the Guo family has a few more people who use this, in case someone makes a phone porridge, I am afraid that the ancestor of the Guo family will collapse.

Lin Hu said: "Then reduce the cost, as I said just now, it is nothing more than a matter of distance, but if you add a small or medium-sized formation in the middle, can it be done?" ”

Ma Shang was puzzled: "You mean to add a formation transfer?" It can be done, but this ...... What's the point? ”

"Reduce costs, for example, if you build a main formation in White Tiger City, if you rely solely on this main formation to connect and communicate, the consumption of long distances will inevitably be too great!"

The communication formation is actually the same principle as the teleportation formation.

It's just that one is to transmit people, and one person is to transmit sound, both of which involve the mystery of space, and it is much simpler to connect sound than to connect people, but the cost may not be less.

Teleporting people, that is to open up the space, throw people over, and when they are done, they can close the connection between the two spaces.

To transmit sound, it is necessary to establish a spatial channel, so that the voices of both sides can be transmitted to each other in the two flags, which is a permanent means, so the farther the distance, the greater the loss.

However, if a transfer station is established in the middle to shorten this distance, the cost can naturally be compressed.

Ma Shang was silent, the method is feasible, but what's the point, there are not many people who use it, it's so troublesome, the cost can't be lowered, it's not that it can't make money.

He said tentatively: "The transfer formation is also fine, it can indeed save consumption to a certain extent, but even if it is so, how to make money?" ”

"As long as we can reduce part of the cost, then we can graft the cost onto the customer, so that more people can use it and alleviate the cost pressure."

"Our advantage lies in instant messaging, as soon as the array flag is inserted on the ground, we can communicate messages, if the monk goes out to explore, there is this thing, it will be very convenient to contact."

"Just imagine, a group of monks ambush the opponent, the transmission of news is extremely important, if it is just a few spirit stones, you can grasp the movements of your own people, grasp the whereabouts of the other party, will you be reluctant?"

Ma Shang said with a smile: "How is it possible that a few spirit stones can communicate once, and the cost is not money?" ”

Lin Hu hated that iron could not be made of steel: "According to the distance, for example, with a thousand miles as a hurdle, appropriately increase the cost of communication, close to the place of the transit formation, the cost will naturally not be too high, and the charge can also be appropriately cheap, for example, in the White Tiger City, it is counted as local communication, and the White Tiger City contacts Vermilion Bird City, even if it is a long-distance communication, the distance is far, and the cost is naturally high." ”

Ma Shang in the Imperial Beast Sect stared greedily, can he still play like this?

Indeed, the cost of being close to the transfer formation is naturally low, because the space that needs to be opened is not far, and the cost of the distance is naturally high.

In the past, he had never thought that such a detailed thing could be charged according to the distance.

In the past, it was an average, for example, it took ten spirit stones for close contact once, and a hundred spirit stones for long distances, so he compromised to calculate it with one hundred and ten spirit stones, and the price was naturally high.

But if you want more people to use it, the price must be controlled within the range that the monk can afford.

Measuring the price by distance, this is quite appropriate.

Ordinary monks, even if they are used to contact, at most they are to contact people within a thousand miles and eight hundred miles, no matter how far away, no matter how far away they don't know, contact a yarn.

For example, the little fat man, the acquaintances are all in the White Tiger City, the distance is not far at all, and the transit formation is nearby, the consumption is extremely rare, so the problem is naturally not big.

Baili Chess on the side also watched curiously.

Ma Shang couldn't leave the outside of the sect master's hall, so he naturally operated here, and Baili Qi arranged the formation, so he naturally didn't have to worry about safety.

Lin Hu's thoughts were quite interesting, and he immediately said, "If it can really contribute to this, it will also be a great thing for my Imperial Beast Sect." ”

Communication was inconvenient, which led to delays in many cases.

In particular, if the messenger is used to transmit information, if it is intercepted halfway, it may delay the fighter.

Ma Shang was also greedy in his heart, but he was still a little unconvinced on the surface, he said: "But according to what you said, in the White Tiger City alone, at least one general formation, three transit formations, and the scope of the nine cities is larger, and this cost is invested, and there will be no way to return to the original in the short term, not to mention that in order to improve the means of exploration and communication, it is also necessary to constantly establish the transit formation, as well as the operation of the formation, and the Royal Beast Sect does not dare to play like this." ”

"Isn't there still a formation flag, Uncle Ma is so powerful, the magic means of communication formation can be made, we can make array flags in batches for sale, to use communication means, array flags are necessary, we can't give it in vain, I have an industry to do in this regard, I have also studied, general array flags are not difficult to manufacture." Lin Hu followed.

"We sell the flag ourselves?" Marchand was dumbfounded.

Lin Hu sighed in his heart, isn't this a mobile phone, it is nothing more than the bells and whistles of a mobile phone, and it can communicate at present, but when it comes to the principle of space, it may be possible to directly transmit items in the future.

Lin Hu nodded and said: "Considering that after more people use it, there will be more array flags, so this aspect must be standardized, a number of array flags, it is best to set it up to more than eleven people, when you want to contact the other party, you can locate it through the number." So of course, the array flag must be manufactured by us, and this is where part of the profit lies, plus the array flag will be lost, basically it will be replaced once in a few years, and it can be cut again. ”

"The second is the problem of communication costs, considering the maintenance fee, as well as operating costs, if someone buys the flag and does not use it, it will cause a certain waste of resources, so the flag needs to charge a little package fee every month, of course, the package fee grade is high and low, when contacting each other, you can get a certain degree of discount."
