From Wild Mage to Wizard King
Chapter 378 Sugar
The Rainbow Project is a derivative research project on the Fountain of Life based on the design structure of the Fountain of Life, combined with the advanced machine theory provided by Roland, the basic machine learning of dwarves and the dwarven runeology.
The main purpose is to explore the possibility of miniaturization and convenience of the Fountain of Life, to find the universalization and applicability of resurrection, and to explore the possibility of convenient resurrection props.
Looking at the explanations of the machine masters represented by Siqi on the Rainbow Project, Roland was also a little helpless. Is this a bit too radical?
Although Roland brought a lot of advanced machine theories, the idea of universalizing and applicating resurrection methods is still a bit too taken for granted.
In Roland's memory, even in the late game, unscrupulous players could not achieve universalization. Convenient resurrection props were more expensive than one another. Most ordinary players chose to register at fixed resurrection points similar to the Fountain of Life in various player guilds. Only a few players would spend a lot of money to buy such luxury goods.
Although the system can also revive, the system's resurrection will lose experience, and resurrection at the fixed resurrection point of the player guild will only have a severely weak limited-time debuff.
Of course, this fixed resurrection point also has disadvantages. You need to leave something like a life mark to hang it up.
And this kind of mark is basically made of the origin as the raw material. Basically, every life mark left will weaken its own strength.
For ordinary players, this is naturally not a big problem and does not affect their daily play very much.
But for players who specialize in PVP, this difference in data is very important and fatal.
Therefore, the convenient resurrection props were born. Since the life mark is carried with you, the combat power will not be affected.
The convenient resurrection props have no disadvantages. If you insist, there is only one disadvantage, that is, it is expensive, especially expensive.
Looking at the Rainbow Project in front of him, Roland thought about it and did not agree to start this big project.
Although the current level of the committee's strange machine masters has been forcibly promoted by Roland, the current theory of strange machines is based on the basic theory of dwarves and the advanced theory provided by Roland. The two sets of theories lack connection and are still in a state of abnormal development.
In terms of conventional supernatural knowledge, the War Committee's development in traditional knights and spellcasters is not very good. For knights, there is only Donnar's damaged knight heritage, and for spellcasters, there is only the simple system built by Roland.
Although knights and spellcasters have a relatively complete general upgrade plan, which is unique and advanced, the supernatural system is not comprehensive and lacks supplements, and is still in a state of neither good nor bad.
In short, with the current level of the committee, it is still too difficult to start this project.
In addition to the Rainbow Plan submitted for review by the strange machine masters, the Ministry of Law also submitted their projects.
Compared with the Rainbow Plan of the strange machine masters, the project of the Ministry of Law is relatively conservative. It only expands the scale of the Ministry of Law, adds subordinate departments and increases manpower to revise the Golden Law, and the reported funding needs are also very conservative.
This project was too practical. Roland didn't hesitate. After looking through it and finding no problems, he directly agreed to the project of the Ministry of Law.
After deciding on the project of the Ministry of Law, Roland also looked at the agenda of the Executive Committee. In addition to the two projects of the Qiji Industrial Zone and the Ministry of Law, the rest were regular topics, and there were no projects from other departments.
Roland glanced at the requests for meetings from representatives of various departments on his communication device and said.
"Hela, are there any vacant conference rooms?"
"Yes, conference rooms 7 and 10 are currently vacant."
Hela pointed at the Qiji communication in her hand, looked at the information on it, raised her head and said.
Roland rubbed his head helplessly and said.
"Let's decide on conference room 10 tomorrow, notify them, and submit any plans first. Tomorrow,
I will meet everyone in conference room 10."
"Okay."
Hearing Roland's words, Hela immediately took action.
As Roland's order was passed down, the departments that received the order also obediently submitted their plans and proposals to Roland.
Since they had already prepared everything, and those who dared to apply for a regular meeting basically had a complete set of plans.
Therefore, in less than half an hour, all the plans and proposals from various departments were submitted to Roland.
Except for the Ministry of Law and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which had a small number of people, the Ministry of Administration, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Engineering, the Ministry of Management, the Ministry of Military Affairs, and all the departments of the War Committee submitted at least one plan. The internal factions of the slightly larger departments even proposed a plan each, so there were several sets of plans.
The Administration Department was okay. Although it was the largest department of the committee, due to the pressure from Julius and the busy work of the Administration Department, there was only one plan that was obviously made up.
Although it wrote several pages of reports, the Administration Department's plan was simply to unify the architectural style and planning of the city hall and spend some money to unify the styles of the city halls in various places of the committee.
There was no need to write a report for Roland for such a small matter. It was just to make up the numbers. There was no application for funds.
If the proposal from the Administration Department calmed Roland down a little, then the proposal from the Finance Department made Roland's blood pressure rise.
In order to alleviate the financial problems of the committee, the officials of the Ministry of Finance used their amazing wisdom to increase taxes and taxes on a large scale, and enforced the implementation of food stamps. Food no longer served as the anchor of food stamps, and improved the relationship between food stamps and grain. The exchange ratio was set, and a large number of restrictions were placed on exchanges. At the same time, people were prohibited from using food stamps to pay taxes, and only gold and silver were accepted.
Where did this little genius come from?
Looking at the first half of the Ministry of Finance's plan, Roland felt completely unmoved and even wanted to laugh. Is there such a genius in the committee?
After seeing the first half of the content, Roland had already completely put the Ministry of Finance's plan into the trash can. However, in order to see what else they could come up with, Roland still looked at the second half. .
In order to strive for economic effects, the area of grain planting was reduced, and instead a large number of cash crops were planted. Specifically, after calculations, the Ministry of Finance believed that the high returns of cash crops were much higher than that of food crops, and the committee's cultivated land could be replanted into crops with higher economic value. tall crops.
As for the food problem, it can be solved by importing food from abroad or using food-making techniques.
Roland took a deep breath, resisted the urge to throw the plan into the trash can, and put it down.
Afterwards, Roland looked at other plans from the Ministry of Finance and glanced at them twice. Roland's blood pressure was higher, and his thoughts were all about making the people more miserable.
In addition to increasing taxes and growing cash crops, there are also cuts in education funding and military spending...
The only relatively reliable plan is to start from the perspective of alchemy potions and gadgets, invest in the construction of some simple alchemy and gadgets workshops, encrypt some basic alchemy potions and gadgets and export them to the outside.
Use this to obtain external funds.
Although it requires a large amount of start-up capital and a certain amount of labor, the Ministry of Finance still believes it is worth the investment based on the calculated benefits.
After much searching, it turned out that the Ministry of Finance's opening of alchemy and gadget workshops was acceptable, but the rest were a bunch of unnatural operations.
After reading the Ministry of Finance's outrageous plan, Roland thought that the remaining departmental plans would be relatively normal.
But it turned out that he still thought too much, and the plans he proposed were either a bit unreasonable or unreliable.
The agricultural plan set by the Ministry of Agriculture is too radical. It either purchases a large number of slaves for agricultural development, or encloses land to develop animal husbandry. In addition, there are extraordinary vegetation cultivation and large-area planting plans, which are all unrealistic. plan.
The composition within the committee is already complicated enough. Bringing in foreign slaves is completely thankless. As for the development of agricultural pioneering and animal husbandry, let alone development, they have not yet recovered, and they have not learned to walk yet. How can they fly?
The Engineering Department wanted to do a big job, encircling a large piece of land in Apocalypse City and building a palace complex for Roland, but Roland didn't have such high requirements for housing, so why waste the money.
The management department was even more outrageous. They made a plan that even Roland couldn't stand. They built a statue of Roland in every city and village. They planned to build one in every place with a population of more than a hundred people. A statue.
The people of Roland were speechless. It was even more useless than the Engineering Department. The palace seemed to be used to live in it, and some government agencies could be put in it. But the statue that the Management Department wanted to build was of no use. Does it allow people to pray to his statue?
Compared to these departments, which have astonishing wisdom that even Roland could not imagine, the military department's plans were all within Roland's expectations. The messy plan can be summed up very simply. It has two purposes, to expand the army and to fight against green enemies. Skin.
After reading the plans of various departments, Roland suddenly felt that the Rainbow Project was actually quite good.
Although there are many difficulties, it is at least an internal research project of the Magic Weapon Master. Apart from asking for money for scientific research, it will not make any big noise or affect people's livelihood. Moreover, if it is shipped, it will be a win.
It's not that the plans of these departments are without benefits. From the perspective of the world's traditional monarchs, Roland believes that even the unfavorable plans can still be used. There are still many benefits for the committee, and it can speed up the recovery and development of the committee. At most, it will only cause hardship to the people.
As for palaces, statues and the like, they are also very common in this world, not to mention Roland's killing of Kan'aozu.
He is a leader who has made great achievements in repelling the green tide. Even some nobles who sit in their palaces and do nothing will try their best to erect statues for themselves.
Nobles and monarchs who are a bit vain will play this way. The money in the treasury is their money. If you want to spend your own money, you have to spend it on yourself.
Although Roland is also somewhat vain, Roland still has a certain bottom line. Roland cannot do such a feudal job when the people are in dire straits.
Moreover, Roland has no interest in palaces or statues. If he doesn't have any of these things, he might as well get some food for Roland, so that he can improve his food.
Roland rubbed his head, and then he took out the white paper, flipped through the plans and plans, and picked out some parts worth using.
Although the plans of various departments are not in line with Roland's ideas, their ideas can still be used for reference.
It can still be used if you take out some of them, copy them, and revise them.
It is true that taxes can be increased, but we cannot increase them to death as planned by the Ministry of Finance. We can simply increase business taxes.
As for food stamps, they cannot be decoupled from grains yet. They still have to be anchored by grains, and they can be promoted more.
However, it is still necessary to rely mainly on voluntariness and inducement, such as copying food stamps to harvest private wealth, and banning the use of food stamps to pay taxes, this is definitely not acceptable.
Planting cash crops is indeed a good development direction, but food still has to be planted. On the premise of maintaining sufficient food production, cash crops can be developed.
As for cash crops, what is better to grow?
Roland turned his pen and came up with the idea of growing beets.
Sugar beet can not only make sugar, but its by-products also have high comprehensive utilization value. After processing, they can become various raw materials. The filter mud after sugar production can also be used as fertilizer. Sugar beet stems and leaves, green heads, tail roots and Beet pulp, etc., can be used as a makeshift meal at first. When you become rich in the future, you can also use it as high-quality and juicy feed.
Although in this world where extraordinary power exists, the process of making sugar from beets has already been created,
And due to the existence of the spell caster, the sugar making process is not bad and can produce very high quality sugar.
However, the caster's sugar making process has a big limitation, that is, the labor cost is too high.
High-quality sugar must be made by the caster personally, while low-quality sugar does not require the caster to make it personally, but including the cost of setting up the workshop and training skilled workers, the total cost is directly equivalent to that of the alchemy workshop.
Moreover, even if there is a workshop and skilled workers are trained, the sugar output of the small workshop is very limited and cannot produce much.
Therefore, the current sugar production in the world is not high. Sugar is still a luxury product with high price.
Moreover, only low-quality sugar circulates in the market, and the production of high-quality sugar can only satisfy the consumption of the top small group of ruling classes.
It was not until the dwarves moved to the New World and the magicians developed the technology to produce sugar on a large scale that sugar was transformed from a luxury product into the cheapest placebo.
Although Roland does not have the details of this technology in his memory, it is not a big problem. A rough direction is enough. With the committee's current level of gadgets, it is impossible to develop a convenient resurrection item, but it is still possible to research a sugar-making process. Easily.
As long as the sugar making process is developed, sugar may become the main commodity exported by the War Council. From the top nobles to the common people, who can resist the temptation of sugar?
Of course, cheap sugar must be supplied to the committee first, so that it can slightly improve the quality of life of the people.
While making the candy plan, Roland was also thinking about what he would say during the meeting tomorrow, and mentally prepared a draft in advance.
