She Is Not a Witch Chapter 260: 2 School Masters
After the three of Lorrain Hill went to the beach, they looked around and soon found Letis and others in the beach restaurant, they were eating cold drinks on the open-air balcony on the second floor.
Niya waved at the top, and the three people below responded, and then walked over here.
"Would you like ice cream?"
Several people turned around the dark walls and stairs, and walked up to the second floor. They saw Letis speak to them.
The location of this restaurant is excellent, on a hillside overlooking most of the harbour, the spacious open-air balcony on the second floor is equipped with parasols, small tables, and rectangular wooden flower pots around. , With low flowers and plants growing inside, and a few round poles forming a guardrail, it is quite poetic.
"I want to eat~" Lily likes sweets so much, she jumped to answer, and then briskly walked over.
After the three of them sat down, a few cups of ice cream dotted with cherries were served.
Blowing the cozy sea breeze and drinking ice-cold juice, several people began to talk, telling what they saw today.
"I saw a lot of new things, and some liked them very much." Lily said so, and Bumansha and Niya agreed.
"Of course, these are all huge changes brought about by technological innovation." Letis said with some pride. As the descendant of the mage born in Ruerna, he is naturally quite proud of it.
"It's really more comfortable." Alina agreed, but she didn't envy Rulna's new invention, because the southern islands under the Hinayue Council were also well developed. Both can be said to have their own merits.
"What does Lorrain think?" Bumansha looked at the girl who was quietly drinking juice.
"Me?" Lorrain Hill had experienced similar things in her previous life, and naturally she hadn't been greatly affected. She just felt that the current technology was not developing fast enough.
Rulner, or Oz, has reached a high level of technology in machinery and power for hundreds of years, but it has not been popularized as quickly as in the past, but the progress has slowed down.
Just now, she was also thinking about the reasons for this. After all, this world is different from the previous life.
"It feels very good, but why is it not popularized on a large scale. This is Ubere. Although it is good in all aspects, the other small places are still the same." Lorrain Hill replied.
"Probably because I can't afford it." Niya said with feeling, good things are always expensive.
"It's a bit expensive, but where is the cost." Letis said with a finger up.
"The purchase of raw materials, refining, processing, etc., all require money and cost."
"Which links are costly and expensive." Lorraine asked with interest. She wanted to know the opinions of everyone in this world. Just a few of my companions came from all over the world.
"First of all, the material." Letis feels more deeply about this. She herself comes from the Rulna alchemy faction.
"Metal ores are mined from various countries and then transported. Every time we change hands, we need to pay every time we pass through a noble checkpoint. Finally, when we buy from merchants, the price will hardly be lowered."
"Manpower is also the reason." Alina said of her own experience. She came from the Southern Islands, where the population has never been dense.
"Many people want to farm, fish, do chores, and so on. There are not many locals who can recruit to do work."
"Then let people from outside the city come." Lily asked simply and directly.
"Foreigners who came so far must give more money, otherwise they might as well stay at home. Moreover, if the foreigners come, the local food may not be able to support them, so they have to import food again, and set a price like this It’s even higher."
"That's it." Lily was a little sad.
"In general, the profit margin is not big enough." Lorrain Hill thoughtfully.
The high cost of materials and labor makes the profit margin of the product smaller, and the price is difficult to be cheap, and there are only a small number of people who can afford it, so the market cannot be expanded.
The market is small, and the overall profit ceiling is not high. This has led to related technologies and products not expanding explosively, but progressing slowly.
"But it's better now." Letis looked at the busy port, holding the cup, and said.
"After the merger of Rulner and Wilga, the resources, land, population, and market have all expanded a bit. It is not as difficult as before."
"If the Frost Rose continues to expand and merge the resources of the entire Xuehua Seven Kingdoms, it must be able to break through the previous imprisonment." Alina said with a sigh.
"Without the previous card restrictions imposed by the nobles in various places, the import price of raw materials can be lowered, and the labor cost can also be lowered as the population moves." Lorrain Hill added.
"Well, that's it, isn't it great?" Letis said heartily.
"But, my favorite thing Alina does is to break your alchemy fantasies." Alina raised her finger.
"?" Letis looked at Alena a little puzzled.
"Our Chuyue faction is not bad. If we do it, the effect will definitely be good. I really don't know which side will win in the future." Alina shook her finger.
"Okay, okay, you two should stop fighting."
Bomansa came out to make a round. Although Alina and Letis have been roommates for more than a year, the two are like enemies, and their concepts are always different.
After a few people sat on the second floor of the restaurant for a while, and then returned to their place of residence, Alina and the three also took back the musical instruments they bought each other.
At the dinner table, the two continued their previous argument.
"It's easy to use alchemy props to cool down, preserve food, or make ice cream." Letis said of the advantages of the alchemy school.
"This is not difficult. We have a kind of conch in the southern archipelago. After improvement, it has a natural inscription pattern. As long as a little magic spar is added, it can also release air-conditioning. Moreover, it does not use metal to make it, and it is not easy to break. ."
"But the output is not high, and the cycle is also long."
"The output is not low~IndoMTL.com~ Some islands specialize in cultivating this kind of conch. As long as a few wizards maintain it, there are thousands of them a year. Your production mode requires more metals and wizards. Right." Alina retorted.
"The magic locomotive, even the airship, you can't popularize this." Letis once again tossed out the advantages of her school.
"This, although the vehicle can't work, our special pack animal is more adaptable to various road conditions and can run everywhere without building roads." Alina continued.
...
Lorraine Hill listened quietly to the argument between the two, feeling a wave of novelty, and at the same time slowly clarified the characteristics and advantages of the two factions.
The alchemy school undoubtedly overlaps with the industrial machinery of the previous life. Heavy industry, large machinery, unified standards, and production capacity do have an advantage.
However, Chuyueyi faction has many advantages in biology, pharmacy, coping with various environments, small but flexible, and low material requirements.
It would be great if the strengths of the two factions were integrated. It's a pity that it still looks a little difficult at the moment.
