After saving half of the plane, Xia Duo checked the progress of the plane creation of another [World Incubator]. It has now reached the element filling stage, and it is estimated that it will not be long before another one is harvested.
"Very good!" Xia Duo nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, he can ignore it for the time being. The eight and a half planes built in the first phase of the new city are only short of two, and he has two [Plane Incubators]. These two manufacturing slots are enough for him. After using it, it’s not too late to come back when everything is ready.
…
After leaving the Plane Exploration Center, Sha Duo stopped by to see the current high-level mages of the Tower of Time. Because the new city construction plan has been determined, all other work of these people has stopped recently except normal maintenance and production work. Come down and concentrate on spell-casting training.
Although he is a high-level mage, in terms of spell-casting proficiency, he may not be as good as some low-level wandering mages who have been around for many years. After all, everyone has a comfort zone. The spell elements involved in the daily use of spells by these high-level mages are actually very limited. of.
It is true that there are people who have been practicing spellcasting for many years, but after all, they are a minority. Even Xia Duo can only guarantee the absolute accuracy of commonly used spells. Other spells depend on luck.
Fortunately, he has studied the principles of spells carefully, and most of the time even if he makes a mistake in spell casting, he can remedy it without causing too serious consequences.
But this time it is a collective spellcasting after all, and the error tolerance rate rises sharply when there are more people. Even with the help of psychic spells, there is always a basic lower limit of proficiency. Xia Duo does not want to try over and over again. He hopes to get it right once. can succeed.
…
After the inspection, Sha Duo called Ai Bok out alone, "Where are the high-level mages you brought back?"
"Temporarily settled in Linshui Village, together with the high-level mages who came to see the situation, they visited the territory in the past two days, and two more high-level mages agreed to join the Tower of Time."
"Is that so?"
Sha Duo nodded and once again expressed satisfaction with Aibok's work. It is now confirmed that fourteen high-level mages will join the Tower of Time.
Although these people will not be used in the construction ceremony of the first phase of the new city for the time being, they can also fill the gap of high-level mages in the Tower of Time. There is a lot of work for him to do here!
"I'm going to hold a welcome dinner for them, and I'll also ask Uncle Aibo to go to Linshui Village again and send them an invitation. The time will be tonight, and the location will be in the banquet hall on the first floor of the Tower of Time. I will bring the Tower of Time to Hengchun Square later, and if they want, they can visit the Floating City or the Tower of Time in advance."
"Okay, I'll go now."
After saying that, Aibo was about to leave, but Sha Duo stopped him, "Wait, I haven't finished yet. Tell them they can bring their family members."
Since it is a welcome dinner, it will be more lively if you bring your family members. Anyway, Niya on Sha Duo's side will definitely attend. Although his arrangements for the new high-level mages are still based on magic technicians for the time being, after all, they are old people. The high-level mages of the era were somewhat outstanding.
As long as they are given a chance, their future ultimate achievements in the Tower of Time will be at least in the middle or above. As long as they sincerely support the order of Daxia and obey the arrangements of the Tower of Time, they can be trained as the backbone.
In addition, Xia Duo's personal welcome can also show that he attaches great importance to those people. To a certain extent, it is also a way of "buying horse bones with a thousand gold".
The Iolum Territory may not be able to recruit more people in a short period of time, but there are opportunities in other places, especially after the emergence of the three planes of Sweet Water, Golden Plains, and Qiya.
With a population of more than seven million, let alone how many high-level mages there were, the number of ordinary people alone already made him salivate.
If only 10% or 20% could be recruited, the Great Xia Territory and the Tower of Time would undergo a qualitative change in an instant!
Although those three planes are not yet connected to the main plane, Sha Duo has already begun to plan to recruit people. When he performed the prophecy ceremony before, he saw that the portal connecting the three planes to the main plane was provided by him. David string permanent portal.
Except for David string materials, there is no material that can withstand the migration of such a large number of people. The reason why the Austrian Law Federation's teleportation array costs one thousand gold coins per use is because the maintenance cost is high.
The teleportation circle is slightly higher, and the maintenance cost is about 500 or 600 per time. Not everyone can afford it. The only advantage is safety.
However, compared to the instant-connected portal, the security of the teleportation circle is actually lower, but the portal also has its shortcomings, that is - as soon as it is opened, it will start to depreciate, and maintenance fees will start to be calculated.
And the most critical point is that if you open it when it is still unusable, activating the portal and maintaining the portal will cause completely different damage to the base. If you activate it a few times, it will be scrapped directly.
Therefore, most organizations with portals prefer to maintain portals in the long term.
In this comparison, the cost of the teleportation circle is lowered. Although the safety is slightly lower, as long as it is higher than self-teleportation, it is still relatively practical.
But all this is based on the premise that "the energy-guiding materials of the portal or teleportation array are consumables." Once the energy-guiding materials are not consumables or are very durable, the advantages of the portal will immediately become apparent.
Safe, instant and efficient.
Even if it is a teleportation array that does not require the consumption of energy-conducting materials, the array must be activated every time it is teleported, and the teleportation gate is essentially to fold and connect the two spaces, and just go through it directly.
As long as the teleportation gate is built larger, it can completely replace the teleportation circle.
The David String Portal exists like this. It requires almost no maintenance, and even the construction cost is much lower than that of a regular Mithril Portal.
If the millions of people in the livable planes of the Seven Towers used conventional portals to migrate back to the main plane, the maintenance costs of the light portal would probably be a huge pain in the Seven Towers.
Of course, not everyone wants to move back to the main plane. The main thing is to move some of them back to make room for survival and development. Then the remaining people may not want to move.
After all, for ordinary people, the cost of migration is very high, even in the same plane, let alone across planes.
But the main plane is home after all. Even if they settle in a small plane, coming back for a visit may or should be the thought of most Nese people in the alien plane.
If there is a low-cost transportation method at this time, and the main plane has a broader development space, Sha Duo believes that most Nese people in the alien plane will still be willing to return to the main plane.
In a certain future timeline, the reason why he provided the David String Portal for use in those three planes may be to make it easier to attract people from those three planes to join the Great Xia Territory.
At the previous Grand Arcanist joint meeting, Seven Towers controllers such as Skum and Badigal raised the issue of transfer costs. The other Grand Arcanists were obviously unwilling to bear it, and neither was the Seven Towers.
It's not good to let the people in those three planes bear the responsibility. After all, their ancestors voluntarily opened up the alien plane in order to "leave incense" to the main plane of Netheril. Now that they want to come back, who has the nerve to accept the money?
If Xia Duo does not participate, several parties may eventually jointly invest, and very few people will come back. Even if all the great arcanists can return to the main plane, as long as the plane is still controlled by the Seven Towers, as long as there is There are enough people who cannot migrate, and those great arcanists born and raised in other planes will still have a high probability of being influenced or even dominated by the Seven Towers.
This is not in Xia Duo's interests.
