Lord Harland.

Chapter 246 Create Elemental Magic Research

Through experiments, Li Cha discovered that if you put in six points of spiritual power, you will generate iron metal, if you invest twelve points of spiritual power, you will become copper metal, and if you invest eighteen points of spiritual power, you will generate silver metal. Once you invest more than 24 spiritual power At this point, about one kilogram of gold metal will be generated.

Gold is a very precious precious metal. Even if the value is not as high as gold coins of the same quality, one kilogram of gold is worth about thirteen gold coins and four silver coins.

According to Li Cha's estimation, the ratio of his mental power to magic power is higher than that of ordinary people. A normal magician wants to use the creation technique to transform gold, and the investment of mental power is about [-] points.

In order to verify his conjecture, Li Cha had Sophia and Wendy learn the Creation Art successively, and devoted all his mental power to release this spell.

Wendy's spiritual power is still a little insufficient, so she can only wear the star necklace to release the powerful creation technique.

Through continuous research and testing of mental strength, Richard found that Sophia needs to consume about 27 points of mental power to make gold, and Wendy needs to consume 29 points of mental power.

Why do different kinds of magic power produce different metals?
Why do different people need different mental energy to produce different metals?
Why is the magic structure of Creation so special?
With a strong desire for knowledge, Li Cha especially wants to figure out the principle behind it.

In the knowledge that Richard learned in his previous life, elements are the general term for atoms of the same type with the same number of protons.

Atoms are made up of nuclei and electrons, and nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons.

Infinite substances are all composed of different combinations of two types of basic substances, namely nucleons and electrons.

Among them, the positively charged nuclei are protons, and the uncharged nucleons are neutrons; electrons are negatively charged.

What keeps the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus is cohesion.

But the interior of the nucleus is still unstable, because half of the nucleons are positively charged protons, which makes there are two opposite forces in the nucleus: one is the surface tension that binds the nucleons together, and the other is the nuclear force. The repulsive force between the charged parts in the atom tends to split the atom into several pieces.

If the surface tension prevails, the nucleus will not split itself, and two such nuclei will tend to coalesce and fuse when they come into contact with each other;

If repulsive electricity prevails, the atomic nucleus has a tendency to split itself into two or more fragments that fly away at high speed, a process called fission.

However, whether it is fusion or fission, it is possible to achieve it only by exerting a strong influence.

It is assumed that the onlooker physics of the dawn plane is also an atomic structure, except that among the protons, neutrons, and electrons, there is another elementary particle, the magic energy particle.

Magic energy particles exhibit various magical effects through special operation rules.

Although it is now necessary to study the laws of the operation of magic energy particles, the conditions are not yet ripe.

But you can study the spell structure of Creation and create new spells.

From the knowledge he learned in his previous life, Richard knows that metal elements have fewer electrons in the outermost shell of atoms, generally less than four; non-metallic elements have more electrons in the outermost shell of atoms, generally greater than four.

Why can creation make metal?This may be the key factor.

In addition, there is a magical water-making technique, which can also create things out of thin air, creating hydrogen and oxygen elements.

With doubts in his heart, Li Cha set up a research team, organized the most thoughtful magicians in the territory, and calmed down to study the structure of these two spells.

By splitting the two spell structures, Sophia keenly found the key points and the most critical base spell structure, which can bring together different elements.Using this most basic spell structure, Sophia creatively added a new spell structure and researched a four-ring spell, Gold Manufacturing.

After releasing this magic, about [-] grams of gold can be produced by consuming ten points of mental power.

An ordinary four-ring magician, with a mental power of around sixteen, can release a four-ring magic gold manufacturing technique, which can produce gold worth about six gold coins and eight silver coins.

If the mental power is consumed too much, ordinary magicians will recover in about three to four days without the use of potions to restore mental power.

A magician with four rings can use the gold making technique once every three days, and can make gold worth about 800 gold coins a year.

The Dawn plane is a gold-magic crystal joint standard system. Both magic crystals and gold are extremely scarce resources. Because of the lack of gold-magic crystals, almost all regions are in deflation.

An economy under deflation, falling asset prices, and sluggish market demand are very unfavorable to economic development.

Hundreds of years ago, the Glorious Empire of the Holy God wanted to break the status quo and issued a parchment currency based on national credit.

However, the surrounding countries refused to accept the account, the second anti-counterfeiting problem could not be solved, and the rulers of the Holy God’s Glory Empire did not cherish the national credit and issued paper money indiscriminately, destroying the most important circulation foundation of parchment currency.

Various reasons led to the failure of parchment currency issuance.

Although the gold coins of the various kingdoms have different weights, they are still mainly made of gold smelted and discarded magic crystal powder.

Normally, it is difficult for an ordinary four-ring magician to earn [-] gold coins a year.

A magician of this level, if he is not proficient in potion, enchanting, alchemy and other sideline jobs, is placed in the main army, and his normal salary is about 120 gold coins.

But the magician of the four rings can be regarded as a big shot in a certain area, relying on the protection of some merchants, the combined annual income is between three and four hundred gold coins.

Before William became a hereditary nobleman, his annual income was only [-] gold coins including the dry shares offered by his uncle Grande.In addition to Mrs. Ola, Powell's part of the business, and Bernie's military salary, the Harland family, which had no family at that time, had an annual income of about [-] to [-] gold coins.

Now an ordinary four-ring magician, as long as he learns this new spell, his income can be doubled immediately.

The gold created by the magician is equivalent to increasing the amount of gold put into the market, and it is also quite good for alleviating deflation.

However, compared to gold manufacturing techniques, iron, copper, and even silver are metals with relatively large reserves. Using these three magics is not so economically beneficial.But in special circumstances, creation out of thin air can play a very important role.

Because gold manufacturing has a great impact on the economy, Richard has no plans to make it public for the time being.

When Harland's territory has developed to a certain level, there are a large number of fourth-order magicians in the territory, and the royal seal in the family's hands can prevent magicians from leaking secrets, then Richard will spread this spell in a limited way to make gold , to increase part of the income for Harland's territory.

After Sophia created the gold manufacturing technique, Richard, Wendy and others also created the steel manufacturing technique, brass manufacturing technique, and silver manufacturing technique.

After mastering the element aggregation structure, the magician can study different elements, create different magic structures, and use them to make different elements.

If you go deeper into the research, you can also refer to the water making technique to create different elemental compounds.This research must be very promising in the wizarding world.

After inventing a new magic, Sophia's meditation speed immediately increased by about ten times. This kind of rapid progress, like an empowerment-like meditation, lasted for about two months.

Because the feedback from meditation is particularly good, in just two or three months, the effect of meditation is equivalent to two or three years.However, it is still short for her to break through the six-ring magician, and it will take some time to accumulate before the meditation method is advanced. According to the normal meditation speed, it will take about four or five years.Unless new magic can be created again and new magic theories can be researched, the speed of advancement can be accelerated.

After entering October, Li Cha began to patrol the territory, contacted the most grassroots free people and contract slaves, broke the information cocoon room set up for him by the bureaucrats, vindicated the grievances of the people, and dealt with bureaucrats who were corrupt, dereliction of duty, and bullying the people.

By the end of this year, according to the statistics of the Civil Affairs Department, the territory of Harland had a population of 25, an increase of about 8000 compared with last year, of which 8000 were contract slaves purchased by Richard and the Duke of Guise .

Of the other 8000 people, more than 1000 are private slaves bought by merchants in Harland's territory, and more than 1000 are foreigners who migrated into the territory for the sake of name.

Last year, there were about 5000 newborns in the territory.

The fertility rate in Harland's territory is about 5%.

Because of adequate food and clothing, the territory has maintained a high fertility rate for ten years. The total population of children under the age of 12 exceeds 6, accounting for about 23% of the total population.

Whether it is a private slave purchased by a merchant or a migrant who migrated, they can only settle in agricultural planting areas such as Vicburg and Malte Castle to prevent the core secrets of the territory from being leaked.Only a small number of foreign populations can pass the review of the territorial intelligence department and enter the core castles such as Fort William and Fort Sophia, and must be subject to strict supervision. They can only move around in specific places and cannot wander around at will.

For example, private slaves purchased by merchants in Fort William must not appear in secret-related places such as the City Lord's Mansion, Riverbank Elementary School, research institutes, and laboratories.If something goes wrong, many people will be held accountable by the law.

Secret-related departments such as Fort William, Sophia, and Marsh Basin have soldiers standing guard and patrolling.

After so many years of education and the lessons of blood, no matter if they are free citizens or contract slaves, they have all formed the habit of staying away from secret-related departments.In order not to be thrown into the mine because of being too curious and commit a taboo, and become food for orcs.

The area of ​​Harland's territory is not small. It covers an area of ​​more than 8000 square kilometers. There are more than a hundred villages, large and small. In addition, there are various factories and mines. It takes about two months for each village to go around. .

After Richard inspected the territory and returned to Fort William, it was already mid-December, not far from the goddess' birthday.

Before the Goddess' Day, Li Cha first summed up this year's income and expenditure.He summoned the bureaucrats of the territory to the City Lord's Mansion to count this year's income and make a budget for next year.

The first person to report was still Gibson. He was William's butler and a member of the distant branch of the Harland family. According to his seniority, he was William's cousin.

Because Richard and William have no separation, William's territory has always been managed by Richard. Although Gibson has no position in Harland's territory, his status is very high, second only to Richard's uncle, Brother Rogge, and he is regarded as a civil servant. No. [-] character in .

"The business of Black River Fort this year is very good, with a net profit of 160 gold coins, but this year Mrs. Ola spent [-] gold coins to buy a manor. The manor has about [-] acres of farmland and [-] slaves. The manor is close to the river. There are waterwheels irrigating the farmland, which is a very high-quality property. If the owner of the manor was not planning to live in the royal capital, we would have never been able to purchase this property. After buying the manor, there is not much liquidity in the treasury of Heihebao. Mrs. Ola also owes a short-term debt of one thousand gold coins."

Gibson talked eloquently and clearly introduced the various businesses of Heihe Fort.

After William became a hereditary baron, the business of the Harland family in Heihe Castle developed rapidly. Mrs. Ola not only owned a large number of properties for rent, but also hotels, chain pubs, wool spinning and clothing stores, grain stores, shoe stores, and cobbler stores. There are also farms, waterwheel mills, four-wheeled carriage transport teams outside the city, and a large mercenary dedicated to serving Mrs. Ola.

Mrs. Ola has a hand in almost any business that makes money.

In the past few years, the territory was unable to make ends meet, and cash was drawn from Mrs. Ola every year.Madam Ola dared not to speak out, and when she had money in her hand, she immediately borrowed money to invest, fearing that Richard would borrow it away, and the meat bun would beat the dog.

Mrs. Ola's property is going to be passed on to her children, and Li Cha knows this well.Of course he would not object to his younger siblings inheriting the property.As long as he doesn't compete with Li Cha for the inheritance of William Land, Li Cha will try his best to satisfy some property requirements.

After Gibson, it was Richard's cousin Tang En who reported.

Tang En was in charge of the agricultural work in the Harland Territory.

Agricultural income is the bulk of a territory.The same is true for Harland's territory.It's just that Richard takes out the agricultural income every year to buy slaves, which is reflected in the cash flow, as if there is no income from agriculture.

In fact, relying on the accumulation of agriculture to purchase contract slaves, coupled with the population entangled in the war, Baron Cisse compensated the population, and Harland's territory could develop to the present level.

"Deducting this year's grain reserve, we sold [-] tons of grain in exchange for about [-] indentured slaves. In terms of grain trade, there is no cash income this year."

"The growth momentum of textile trade this year is very good. Wool spinning has brought a net profit of [-] gold coins, and cotton spinning has a profit of about [-] gold coins. Wool spinning plus cotton spinning, the net profit of the textile industry adds up to [-] gold coins, which is already [-] gold coins. The largest income of the territory. The most important point is that half of the income from textiles depends on the internal market of the territory, and half depends on the outside."

The head of the textile department was Scott, who had invented a new loom which increased the efficiency of weaving more than eightfold.

Because of his outstanding contribution, he was promoted by Li Cha to be in charge of the textile business.
