Chapter 758

Tang en, who received the news from Angus, immediately rushed to the magic Energy Engineering Research Institute. At the moment, a group of people in the research institute were gathering together and staring at a glass bottle in his hand.

The excited Donne pushed aside the crowd and asked, "how's it going?"

"Pretty good!"

Angus looked back at him, grinned and shook the glass bottle in his hand. The light green liquid in it shook gently: "after reading the detailed records, I tried to extract some."

"How difficult is it?"

"It's not very high. After several failures, the success rate is very high."

After a pause, Angus said again, "I feel that if you are ready to refine into an array in advance, a slightly trained alchemy apprentice can basically refine, and the success rate is acceptable."

Donne's eyes brightened: "what about the cost?"

"That's what I'm going to say next."

Angus smiled and said: "According to the formula recorded by hornheim, the material cost of a bottle of plant growth catalytic solution was about two gold coins. However, after reading the formula, I found that I had just used one of them before, and I also found an improved optimized formula. If I use my improved formula, the cost can be saved to less than one gold coin."

"A gold coin?"

The price doesn't sound expensive, but don't forget that it's just the price of a bottle. Don frowned: "how much area is a bottle of catalytic liquid enough for use?"

"It's hard to say. It involves a very complex formula."

Angus stood up: "although the use and effect of the catalytic liquid are increasing, there is an effective threshold. If it is close to the threshold, it is useless to sprinkle more. According to hornheim's statistics, a bottle of catalytic liquid can catalyze after dilution... Well, if it is converted into Ellington units, it is almost 2300 square meters of farmland."

A bottle of catalytic liquid and a gold coin can catalyze more than 2300 square meters, and the cost is barely acceptable.

Although it takes a lot of gold coins to ripen a large number of plants, the output of grain has increased, which is the most important.

Donne looked up 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've brought all the materials and equipment needed to refine the catalytic liquid. This is a complete set of equipment."

After Dunn checked it, he asked Angus to refine a catalytic solution himself, and he recorded all the steps involved in material conversion and reaction, especially the steps of raw material treatment and extraction, which is very important for his next plan.

"... then the last step is to fully mix the two melts in the refining array and wait for natural cooling."

Angus put the glass bottle on the side shelf, which is the semi-finished catalytic liquid waiting to be cooled.

Donne stared at the information he had recorded, and his mind was spinning fast.

"What's the matter? What's the question?"

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

Donne knocked on the table, pointed to the raw materials on the book and said, "the cost of ice fog grass and bleeding vine accounts for a large part of the cost price. If you can hire people to plant in large quantities, the cost can be further reduced."

Angus shook his head: "these two herbs have strict requirements for the growth environment. They can only be cultivated in a small amount. It's difficult to grow them like vegetables."

"If you grow in a harsh environment, find ways to meet their requirements."

Donne smiled very brightly. If you want to say something, the Chinese say second. Who dares to say first?

"You mean... Something like a shed in the suburbs?"

Angus will be interested immediately, and he can't help but palpitating: "if you can achieve a large number of cultivation by using that technology, you may have solved a big problem."

"Trust me, there must be no problem."

Donne knocked on the table and said, "the problem of raw materials has been solved, so the next problem is the problem of refining... When watching you prepare the melt, I observed the amount of raw materials, but this is not enough. If we want to industrialized mass production, we need more accurate values."

"What do you mean?"

"The effective components of raw materials are extracted and quantified. Liquid is expressed in volume and solid powder is expressed in weight."

Donne said decisively: "only in this way can we ensure that we will succeed in each configuration process, and also enable the artificial soul to complete the refining work accurately and incomparably."

"Quantification... This is a new concept."

In the past, alchemists basically improved their proficiency through repeated experiments, but without auxiliary tools, even highly skilled alchemists sometimes failed. Perhaps someone once germinated to develop a set of measurement auxiliary tools, but everything disappeared with the second chaotic invasion war and the progress of civilization The step was beaten back to its original shape, and everything began to unfold from the hair again.

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

"What's that?"

"That's all."

Donne snapped his fingers, and all the crystal utensils he had prepared to make medicine for himself appeared on the table: "I think you will soon learn how to use them. Now your task is to further extract and purify the raw materials used in the experiment, separate the effective components separately, prepare more, and then count the quantity required for refining, which is very important."

There is no doubt about the importance of plant growth catalytic liquid for the development and progress of the whole society. I'm afraid this magical thing will only appear in a magical world such as prandal. On earth, it is estimated that the food futures market can collapse every minute after the news is made public.

Angus reluctantly surrendered: "well, well, I owe you. Will it be done before tomorrow?"

"As soon as possible, I will design an automatic production line according to the subsequent refining steps. After your data is determined, modify the artificial soul, and you can directly start the initial production."

Although the wheatgrass and blood weeping vine have not been cultivated yet and need to be purchased on the market, the strategic significance of plant growth catalytic liquid is too great. Putting into operation as soon as possible can bring more food in one day. Don can't wait.

When Donne was about to leave, he suddenly asked, "by the way, don't just talk about plant growth catalyst. Have you forgotten your business in hornheim?"

"Of course not."

Angus looked straight and said, "I've begun to analyze the technology left by hornheim. Believe me, give me another period of time, I can thoroughly understand the technology in the Royal scepter, and I'll be more sure to repair it at that time."

"Well, after the plant growth catalyst solution is solved, you can concentrate on solving this problem."

Donne then hurried back to the Lord's house: "Fiona!"

"Say."

"I need you to buy a lot of herbs."

"Herbs?"

Fiona stopped writing, looked up and asked, "isn't there enough medicine to refine the blood of the goddess?"

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

Tang en shook his head, put a list in front of her and said, "this is the list of raw materials. Except that the price of ice fog grass and blood weeping vine is a little more expensive, other herbs are not too expensive. I will take as much as there is in the market, as long as the price fluctuation is no more than 30 percent."

Fiona glanced at the list and found that most of them were commonly used herbs. After the price was not expensive, she nodded: "I know. Let Owen take charge of it right away."

Owen was the boss of the potion house in caspamiburg. Later, he moved to Ellington. Later, he simply joined the Datang chamber of Commerce and became a member of the Datang chamber of Commerce. Now he is regarded as a veteran employee of Donne. His status and income are not too high compared with the original.

"Not only the acquisition, I also need a group of people to plant ice mist grass and blood weeping vine in the greenhouse."

Donne tixingfiona said: "I have just studied the characteristics of these two herbs. I can fully simulate their living environment in the greenhouse for large-scale planting. The consumption of these two herbs will be very large in the future, so it is best to form industrialization."

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

Fiona was helpless: "if it weren't for the help of yustisa, I'm afraid we'd still be stuck with the bus project."

Donne frowned and said decisively, "we can't contract all products from beginning to end. Since our people are really busy, we will outsource these projects with less profits and let those who want to make money contract them."

"Contracting?"

"Yes, we send people to teach technology, and then they contract it. We buy the things we grow at the contract price."

Donne explained: "Although it seems that it has increased our production cost, think about it. This will not only reduce our labor cost expenditure, but also effectively promote market-oriented competition. When there are more planting people, the supply of raw materials will naturally fall short of demand. Only when we master the technology of large-scale production of plant growth catalytic liquid, they can only sell it to us, and they are not afraid of technology leakage."

"Sounds feasible."

Fiona immediately became interested after listening to Donne's explanation. If Donne really said, many similar projects can be subcontracted under the contract system. As long as they hold the technology of the most critical finished products, Datang chamber of commerce can ensure their position.

"Of course it's feasible. Otherwise, what do you think I'm promoting the industrial reform of the Ilus empire for?"

Donne said: "Ellington's population seriously restricts our development. We need to become a product output base rather than a raw material production base. After splitting the production process, hand over the parts to others for completion, and finally gather in Ellington for assembly."

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

Does this business model look familiar?
