Chapter 3076: Project Initiation for the New Computing Power Pool Project

————It will be a bit late~~

————

Regarding the cooperation proposed by Xia Duo, Aosimantusi did not sternly refuse; instead, he showed an expression of interest, so Xia Duo proposed a more specific, further plan.

For example, one could start with the self-production and self-marketing of the Computing Pool Connector magic artifact, then gradually expand production capacity to sell outside of Ailan, and subsequently rely on the Computing Power Pool project to deeply cultivate related magic artifacts.

One could also develop new magic artifacts in other domains, either competing with other countries or creating entirely new categories; although Ailan's population is small, that is only relative to the total population of other countries.

If Ailan were developed into a super workshop, then the entire population could be counted as Magic Technicians, which would far exceed the scale of other countries.

At the same time, because Ailan is currently in a state where it cannot even be self-sufficient in food, the wages for Magic Technicians do not need to meet the standards of other countries at all.

Of course, this does not mean that in order to maintain the low-wage status of Ailan's Magic Technicians, one must constantly restrict the food within Ailan.

Rather, because of Ailan's own special state, even if it returns to normal, the wage level of Magic Technicians will still be lower than in other countries, not to mention that once it develops into a super workshop with a workforce of technicians, it will be even more of a reason to suppress wages.

If you don't do it, there are plenty of other technicians who will.

"Cannot."

Xia Duo certainly wouldn't call all Level 2 Researchers to a meeting just because of a Gateway Magic Tool issue; currently, the staffing of the Ailan Network Research Center is still very backward, and Level 2 Researchers are already the top tier, basically composed of Elite Mages and a few senior mages.

In the conference room, Xia Duo arrived early and was calculating in his heart the content he would speak about later; before long, Hewaisita came to the seat beside him and sat down, subconsciously looking around before asking in a low voice:

……

"Most are here, and a small portion has already been taken away by researchers for inspection and study."

When Xia Duo proposed building Ailan into a super workshop and put forward a series of specific implementation plans, Aosimantusi could no longer hide the extremely serious expression on his face.

And because the Tower of Time is the only supplier of Gateway Magic Tools, there is inevitably a delay when handling things; if it were other chambers of commerce, they would have long since ordered the relevant person in charge to come to the Alliance Headquarters to accept an inquiry.

He could smell something unusual from Xia Duo's narrative, but he couldn't figure out the deeper meaning for the moment; however, he was not in a hurry to express his stance, and he himself had no authority to do so.

Therefore, Xia Duo must resolve this matter as soon as possible; on the other hand, from the perspective of the Tower of Time, if the abnormal wear and tear of the Gateway Magic Tools is not investigated and properly resolved as soon as possible, it will lead to a loss of reputation.

Xia Duo considered it and agreed to temporarily pause food transport, mainly because a lot had already been transported in the past few days; after all, transport via the Void Warehouse is far more efficient than traditional methods, and there is no need to continue provoking Aosiman at this juncture.

"There is still a portion that hasn't been recovered in time. I have already sent new personnel to check, and there should be news very soon. However, various countries seem to have privately withheld a portion of the scrapped magic artifacts. How should this be handled?"

If that starts, perhaps other countries will also vie to cultivate Magic Technicians; although Magic Technicians are not proper Spellcasters no matter how low their level is, as long as the base number increases, a large batch of geniuses will always emerge to complete a true transformation.

Now is actually the time to cultivate the soil for transformation.

……

Below that, there are Level 1 Researchers and Assistant Researchers; the former can enter the Laboratory and also have the permission to operate the Computing Power Pool under the temporary authorization of Level 2 Researchers, while the latter are purely there to make up the numbers and mostly do odd jobs.

……

"It is related, but it is not the main point. You sit for a while first; when the others arrive, I will explain it all at once."

"Mm, understood. Notify all Level 2 Researchers to come to the large conference room for a meeting."

The recycling of scrapped magic artifacts is an extra income for various countries; of course, for the Ailan Network Research Center, it is an effective way to reduce costs.

After pondering for a moment, he told Xia Duo, "This matter is of great importance. I need to report it to my country, but please rest assured, Consultant Xia Duo, I will definitely give you a formal reply within a short time."

This is the most critical point.

The money earned by the Tower of Time simply cannot compensate for the latter's losses.

"Then I look forward to the reply from the Aosiman side."

Finally, Xia Duo is in charge of both the Ailan Network Research Center and the Tower of Time; in this incident, the interests are highly consistent, and there is no such thing as abusing public office for private gain.

After sending off Aosimantusi, Xia Duo sat in his office for a while, finished all the documents that hadn't been processed before, and then sent a Sending to Charles to ask how the collection of scrapped Gateway Magic Tools from various countries was going.

But all of this has not yet spread; if Aosiman is attracted by the huge benefits of what Xia Duo calls a super project, perhaps they will actively accelerate this process.

Even if Aosiman opposes or suppresses it, it actually doesn't mean much; Evereska has also gradually relaxed restrictions on the popularization of magic, and although it has only torn open a small gap, it will eventually continue to expand.

It's just that there was an accident this time, and the Gateway Magic Tools were scrapped prematurely before reaching their expected service life; the Research Center that received the relevant news must, of course, deal with it.

Currently, the person in charge of the Tower of Time externally is Xia Duo, and the Ailan Network Research Center certainly doesn't dare to question Xia Duo, but this is not a reason for Xia Duo to mess around.

……

"Of course, during this period, I still represent Aosiman in hoping that Your Excellency will temporarily give up transporting food to Ailan in a private capacity. As for Ailan, Your Excellency need not worry; Aosiman guarantees that not a single Ailan Elf will die of famine."

"Yes."

On the surface, the reduced lifespan of the Gateway Magic Tools is beneficial to the Tower of Time's shipments, but this is very unfavorable for the stable operation of the Computing Power Pool, which is to say it is unfavorable to the Ailan Network Research Center, and unfavorable to Xia Duo and all related stakeholders.

Not to mention, Xia Duo's Great Xia Territory has long since begun comprehensive popularization of magic education; if Aosiman cannot keep up with this, perhaps the status of an old power will come to an end here.

In fact, whether it is the Gateway Magic Tools or the Computing Pool Connector, it is all paid for by the Alliance; specifically, it goes through the accounts of the Ailan Network Research Center.

Although no one has raised any questions yet, those parties that have already profited from the Computing Power Pool must have already made a note of it in their hearts, just waiting for more such mistakes to pull Xia Duo down from his position in one fell swoop!

For example, entering the Laboratory to retrieve materials and equipment under authorization, helping formal researchers look up information, cleaning, and so on.

"The Sub-network is on their territory; if they want to withhold them, let them. In the future, just set a recycling deadline; anything past the deadline will not be accepted." Xia Duo gave a very decisive response.

Most of these recovered scrapped magic artifacts do not go through the Research Center but are directly handed over to relevant cooperative chambers of commerce for collection and processing, used to offset part of the payments due for new orders.

"Are all the ones that have been recovered in the Ku Fang?"

"Is this meeting related to the abnormal wear and tear of the Gateway Magic Tools?"
