Donne, who received Angus's news, immediately rushed to the Magic Energy Engineering Research Institute, where a group of people were gathering around and staring at a glass bottle in his hand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Don En, who rushed to the scene, pushed aside the crowd and asked, "How is it?" ”

"Pretty good!"

Angus looked back at him, grinned, and shook the glass bottle in his hand, the pale green liquid in it shook slightly: "After reading the detailed records, I tried to extract some. ”

"How difficult is it?"

"It's not very high, and the success rate is high after a few failures."

After a pause, Angus said again: "I feel that if you prepare the refining array in advance, a slightly trained alchemy apprentice can basically refine it, and the success rate is still acceptable." ”

Don's eyes lit up: "What about the cost?" ”

"That's what I'm going to talk about next."

Angus smiled and said, "Originally, according to the recipe recorded by Hohenheim, the cost of materials for a bottle of plant growth catalyst was about two gold coins, but after reading the formula, I found that one of the reactions I happened to use before, and I also found an improved version of the optimized formula, and if I used my improved formula, the cost could be saved within one gold coin." ”

"A gold coin?"

This price doesn't sound expensive, but don't forget that this is only the price of a bottle, Tang En frowned slightly: "How much area is enough for a bottle of catalytic liquid?" ”

"It's hard to say, it's a very complicated formula."

Angus spread his hands: "Although the amount and effect of this catalytic liquid are incremental, there is an effective threshold, if it is close to the threshold, even if it is useless, according to Hohenheim's statistics, after a bottle of catalytic liquid is diluted, it can be catalyzed...... Well, if converted into an Ellington unit, it's almost more than 2,300 square meters of farmland. ”

A bottle of catalytic liquid is a gold coin, catalyzing more than 2,300 square meters, which is barely acceptable.

Although it costs a lot of gold to ripen plants in large quantities, the production of food has increased, and this is the most important thing.

Tang En raised his head and said, "I need a detailed refining process. ”

"It's all here."

Angus dispersed the others, pointed to the table behind him and said, "I have brought all the materials and equipment needed to refine the catalytic fluid, this is a complete set of equipment. ”

After Don checked it, he asked Angus to re-refine a catalytic liquid himself, and he recorded all the steps involved in the transformation and reaction of the substance, especially the steps related to the processing and extraction of raw materials, which was important for his next plan.

“…… Then there is the final step, after the two melts are thoroughly mixed in the refining array, wait for natural cooling to complete. ”

Angus placed the glass bottle on a nearby shelf, which contained a semi-finished catalytic fluid waiting to cool.

Don stared at the information he had recorded, his mind spinning rapidly.

"What's wrong? Any questions? ”

"No, I'm thinking about how to mass produce."

Tang En knocked on the table, pointed to the raw materials on the notebook and said, "The cost of Ice Mist Grass and Weeping Blood Vine occupies a large part of the cost price, and if you can hire people to plant a large number of them, the cost can be further reduced." ”

Angus shook his head: "These two herbs have very strict requirements for the growing environment, and they can only be cultivated in small quantities, and it is difficult to grow them like growing vegetables." ”

"If the growing environment is harsh, find a way to meet their requirements."

Tang En smiled very brightly, if you want to say something, the Chinese say second, who dares to say first?

"What do you mean...... Something like a greenhouse in the suburbs? ”

Angus immediately realized, and couldn't help but feel excited: "If you can use that kind of technology to achieve a large number of cultivation, you may have solved a big problem." ”

"Trust me, it's going to be fine."

Tang En knocked on the table and said, "The problem of raw materials is solved, then the next thing is the problem of refining...... I observed the amount of raw materials used when I watched you prepare the melt, but this is not enough, if we want to industrialize mass production, we need more accurate values. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The active ingredient of the raw material is extracted and quantified, and the volume is expressed in the case of liquids, and the weight is expressed in the case of solid powders."

Tang En said decisively: "Only in this way can we ensure that we will succeed in every configuration process, and at the same time, we can also allow the artificial soul to complete the refining work with great accuracy." ”

"Quantitative...... It's a new concept. ”

In the past, alchemists basically improved their proficiency through repeated experiments when conducting experiments, but in the absence of auxiliary tools, even very skilled alchemists have failed sometimes, and perhaps someone once germinated the development of a set of weights and measures auxiliary tools, but everything disappeared with the second Chaos Invasion War, and the progress of civilization was beaten back to its original shape, and everything began to develop from scratch again.

"I think you'll need thermometers, graduated cylinders, beakers, graduated droppers and pipettes."

"What's that?"

"That's it."

Tang En snapped his fingers, and all the crystal vessels he had prepared to facilitate his refining of medicines appeared on the table: "I think you will soon learn how to use them, and now your task is to further extract and purify the raw materials used in the experiment, separate the active ingredients, prepare more, and then count the amount needed for refining, which is very important." ”

There is no doubt about the importance of plant growth catalyst for the development and progress of the whole society, and this kind of magical thing may only appear in a magical world like Plandal, if it is on Earth, it is estimated that the grain futures market will collapse in minutes after the news is made public.

Angus surrendered reluctantly: "Okay, okay, I owe you, it's okay to do it before tomorrow, right?" ”

"As soon as possible, I will design an automated production line according to the subsequent refining steps, and after the data on your side is confirmed, the artificial soul will be modified, and the initial production can be directly carried out."

Although the Ice Mist Grass and Weeping Blood Vine have not yet been cultivated and have to be purchased on the market, the strategic significance of the plant growth catalyst is too great, and it can bring more food for a day when it is put into production as soon as possible, and Tang En can't wait.

As Donn was about to leave, he suddenly asked, "By the way, don't just talk about the plant growth catalyst, have you forgotten what you did in Hohenheim?" ”

"Of course not."

Angus looked straight and said: "I've already started to analyze the technology left by Hohenheim, believe me, give me a while, I can completely eat the technology in the King's Scepter, and then I will be more sure if I want to repair it." ”

"Well, after the matter of the plant growth catalyst is resolved, you can concentrate on solving this problem."

After Tang En finished speaking, he hurried back to the lord's mansion: "Fiona! ”

"Say."

"I need you to buy some herbs in large quantities."

"Herbs?"

Fiona stopped her pen and looked up and asked, "Aren't there enough medicinal materials to refine the blood of the goddess?" ”

"It's not the blood of a goddess, it's a catalyst for plant growth."

Tang En shook his head, put a list in front of her and said: "This is the list of raw materials, except for the Ice Mist Grass and the Weeping Blood Vine, which are slightly more expensive, the other herbs are not too expensive, and I will be charged as much as I want in the market next, as long as the price fluctuates by no more than thirty percent, eat them all." ”

Fiona glanced at the list and found that most of them were some commonly used herbs, and after the price was not expensive, she nodded: "I know, I'll let Owen take care of this matter immediately." ”

Owen was the owner of the original Casparmiburg Potions House, and later moved to Ellington, and then simply joined the Datang Chamber of Commerce and became a member of the Datang Chamber of Commerce.

"Not only for acquisitions, but also for a group of people to go to the greenhouse to grow Ice Mist Grass and Weeping Blood Vine."

Don reminded Fiona: "I have just studied the characteristics of these two herbs, and it is completely possible to simulate their living environment in the greenhouse, so as to carry out large-scale cultivation, and the consumption of these two herbs will be very large in the future, so it is best to industrialize the cultivation." ”

"We don't have that many people to use."

Fiona was helpless: "If it weren't for the help of Yustisa, we would probably still be stuck in the bus project right now." ”

Tang En frowned, and said decisively: "It is impossible for us to contract all the products from beginning to end, since our manpower is really too busy, we will outsource these projects with relatively small profits and let those who want to make money contract." ”

"Contracting?"

"Yes, we send people to teach the technology, and then they contract it, and we buy what is grown at the contract price."

Tang En explained: "Although it seems to increase our production costs, but if you think about it, this not only reduces our labor costs, but also effectively promotes market-oriented competition, and when there are more people planting, raw materials will naturally be in short supply, and only we have mastered the technology of large-scale production of plant growth catalytic liquid, they can only sell to us, and they are not afraid of technology leakage." ”

"Sounds like a lot of work."

Fiona listened to Done's explanation, and immediately became interested, if it is really according to Donne's words, then many similar projects can be completely subcontracted by the contract system, and their Datang Chamber of Commerce can ensure that their position is unshakable as long as they pinch the technology of the most critical finished product.

"Of course it works, otherwise what do you think the industrial reform of the Ilrus Empire that I am promoting is for?"

Donn stretched out his hands: "Ellington's population is a serious balance for our development, we need to become a product output base, not a raw material production base, after the production process is split, the parts are handed over to others to complete, and finally converged to Ellington to assemble." ”

The ultimate goal of this economic form is to hand over all the production to others, and they are only responsible for setting product standards, so that they can get the lion's share of the profits of the product.

Does this business model sound familiar? (To be continued.) )
