According to the information provided by the 301st Battalion, the horn of the Ice Crown Ice Demon is indeed a magic material, and its position in the demon world is very embarrassing.
It is not a high-grade material in itself. As a spell-casting consumable or a magic array layout material, it cannot withstand fifth-ring magic. It must be used in conjunction with other uses for fourth-ring spells.
However, the basic spell of the Ice Crown Ice Demon is Ice Coffin, which is an extremely dangerous non-ballistic spell. They live in small groups and run very fast. It is extremely difficult to obtain horns. There are few demons. Specifically to seek death, usually the high-level demons who happened to be able to restrain them would pass by and kill a few of them.
The grade is not high, the output is low, the sellers are reluctant, and the buyers are unwilling to pay. This is the Ice Demon Horn.
There is no economic consideration in buying back the ice devil horns from the local area. It simply helps the local people form a barter trading system based on ice devil horns and bullets after being infiltrated by the demons. It also prevents them from losing weapons due to lack of funds. Inadequate supply.
The Ice Demon Horn cannot be used to record the number of kills of local people, because it is completely inaccurate.
Morality is used to restrain oneself, and the law is used to deter crime and provide a relaxing living environment. Wang Qi has his own classification standards for outsiders. The first priority of the people in the disaster-stricken areas is to stay alive. To survive in a high-risk environment, morality is not something they should think about or consider at all. What kind of conflicts can a horn worth 400 rounds of bullets cause? It can't be solved with a knee. I can think of it.
This is actually part of the process of refining Gu. The locals must concentrate their efforts. Even if they end up concentrated in the hands of a group of ogres, it is better than fighting alone and ending up with weapons falling into the hands of the demons.
In this era, it is inevitable that some of the foreign trade weapons will fall into the hands of the demons, but at least some efforts must be made to limit them and reduce as much as possible the possibility of the demons appearing in armed groups.
The ice devil horn is the handle of the southern demon world gate. At least it is indeed a low- to medium-level magic material with sufficient value density. It is much simpler than turning the entire demon corpse into material, and it is also easier to carry.
When the agency began looking for gun clients, the army organized a short-term special operation.
The 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the 1st Brigade were airdropped in platoon units to the floating island where the Demon Realm Gate on the southern line was located, and personally obtained a series of demon samples including the ice demon corpses.
Since the relevant departments have no time, these things are temporarily divided into two batches. One batch will be analyzed by the military itself, and the other batch will be handed over to the alchemy department of the Red Stone Magic Equipment Factory for analysis on a commissioned basis.
Deconstructed from the perspectives of magic materials and alternative materials for production, the Ice Magic Horn came in second place.
The first is a kind of fur called ice-crowned fox. This thing is disgusting. The tail is not a tail, but half a snake with a head, teeth, tongue and esophagus.
Its fur is naturally enchanted through certain types of alchemical treatments.
"Enchantment" is the basis of what is called "Savi's Enchantment". It is one of the most common enchantment methods. It has both long-lasting and one-time characteristics. The blessing spell will exist on the target object for a long time. However, after its effect is activated, like a normal spell, it will be attacked by a certain strength or disappear after a period of time, and the spell needs to be blessed again.
Its advantage is that any magician’s [Protection], [Blessing], [Illusion], [Protective Spell] and other personal buffing spells can be saved and become permanent. The disadvantage is that it requires the enchanted object to have " "Enchantment", this is a very rare characteristic.
The corresponding "Barbatas Enchantment" is the most commonly used type in the Phoenix Kingdom's industrial products. It will actually change the crystalline state of the substance, effectively make up for the shortcomings of the processing technology, and provide enhancement of specific indicators.
The advantage is that it has a wider range of uses and is useful for most common materials. The disadvantage is that the effect does not have "magic visibility", that is, the enchanted object will not show magical effects under any circumstances, and casting the spell also requires professional enchantment personnel or device.
Back to the fox skin, products made of Icecrown fox skin can withstand the permanent enchantment of up to four rings of shield. Once a suitable caster is found, it is equivalent to a second life. If placed in an area that is about to be infiltrated by demons, the price No amount is too high.
It was not chosen as a trading equivalent because the expected price was too high. The main reason was that the Icecrown Fox itself was too weak in the face of firearms.
Hino
The dog is slightly bigger, about the same as a big bad wolf. The magic it masters is the three-ring ice magic "Freeze Ray" which can be regarded as a version of "Ice Coffin" with ballistic special effects. However, the casting range observed by special operations is only less than 30 meters. , the results of the analysis of the data recorded by the magic reconnaissance equipment show that the maximum range is only one-third of the Ice Crown Ice Demon, about 80 meters.
At this range, the strength of magic has no decisive effect at all. Even an ordinary hunter with a powerful crossbow has a chance to kill. The threshold is too low and is not suitable as a carrier for the extension of strategic intentions.
From a strategic perspective, keeping these furs with magical protection potential in the local area will also help the local area form an effective resistance force, slowing down or even blocking the natural spread of the demons.
As for how to avoid the sharp edge of the demon army when it attacks, Wang Qi has no choice. Although there is corresponding equipment at home, the learning and training of systematic equipment is too time-consuming and economical. One person or even a large-scale enterprise is not enough. Small teams don't even have the qualifications to master it. There are various risks in bringing people to the country for training. It is not suitable for sale as general equipment. According to the current foreign trade price increase strategy, they probably can't afford it.
In addition to ice devil horns and fox skins, there are other things that can be used by the demons on the southern front, but those demons are closer to human form. It would be okay to get a few and give them to professionals for research. When recycling begins on a large scale, the threshold will be lowered and released. Going to the factory for batch processing involves the risk of mental illness, so I didn’t make a decision.
The intermediary responsible for this round of gun sales also needs some help.
After the first wave of gun sales, the two agents involved reported to the Trade Department that aircraft leasing was too expensive and they wanted to buy it themselves.
Originally it was not Wang Qi's turn to take care of this kind of thing, but at this time he was focusing on selling guns, so he happened to find the relevant management regulations from the central office, and called personnel from the relevant departments to come over for discussion and make some adjustments.
Existing aircraft in the country are subject to the second edition of the Regulations, which includes "long-term lease" items related to sales.
It is more like taking a loan to buy an aircraft. After signing the contract, the rent is settled annually, and there is no item for the rent to increase year by year. The payment stops after paying a total of 125% of the aviation bureau's book price, and only the venue fee and entrusted management fee are paid.
The transfer price is very low. For example, the deluxe decoration version of "Feathered Serpent 1" sold overseas for 320,000 yuan. The transfer price from the aviation bureau is 170,000, with 85% of the actual payment and the rest being tax refund.
This price is a figure that cannot be disclosed. It will cause a rebound from overseas customers and is not conducive to business. Therefore, a higher price must be given as the public price, which is the total value in the long-term rental item.
Wang Qi asked around. When this rule was originally set, he was mainly worried that someone would buy a plane and fly overseas and never come back. With the leasing method, the lessor pays for the personnel on board, and the aviation bureau makes unified arrangements, which is easier to manage. It can also prevent pilots who have insufficient flight hours from performing commercial flight missions, effectively reducing the rate of flight accidents.
It’s not that things were done wrong, it’s just that each period has its own situation.
When the aviation bureau was established, there was no Turbojet One, and the difference between military aircraft and civil aircraft was very small. Now the Thunderbolt has been in service for almost three years. Blue Sky Heavy Industry has started pre-research on turbofans and turbojets, and the new version of the civilian version of the Manniu has also been launched. It will be rolled off the production line soon. The other civilian glide types and piston types are more relaxed. Even if something goes wrong, it won't have much impact.
Wang Qi and various departments drafted a new sales license list and set rules for adding models to the subsequent list.
There is another situation here that has not been dealt with before. There is a mismatch between private demand and existing models.
Except for the passenger models of Wood Man and Quetzalcoatl, other models are actually not very suitable for civilian needs.
For example, for gun sellers, they only need a single-type Tornado II to transport goods in a conformable cargo box under the belly or under the wings. However, for safety reasons, it is best to add two or three more people in addition to the pilot.
The single-engine Tornado II has two seats at the front and rear. The rear seat of the reconnaissance type is for observation, and the rear seat of the combat type is for weapons. These two types are also recently sold overseas. Domestic private sales are open to domestic sales. These two functions should obviously be deleted. , in order to meet the need of "adding two more people when necessary", the cabin shape must also be changed.
It seems quite simple, but only Blue Sky Heavy Industry in China has a complete set of wind tunnels, static test benches, engine test benches, etc.
For developing devices, the other two manufacturing companies have to take many detours to change their models.
Qian, Hongshi and Pang Xun factories can produce it, but the construction and application of the experimental device include confidentiality technology and related mathematical tools, especially the latter, which are the crystallization of the intelligence accumulated by Blue Sky Heavy Industry through facility iteration for many years, Wang Qi I cannot trust the confidentiality capabilities of these two factories.
But he didn't want to leave the trouble of retrofitting outdated models to Blue Sky Heavy Industries.
Then take out the facilities of the earlier version and use them?
After much deliberation, this approach was too crude, so I had to find another way.
Establish a separate design institute.
Functionally, Blue Sky Heavy Industry originally had similar functions. However, when we asked them to make a modification plan before, we needed to put the report at a very high level and submit it layer by layer and finally get it stamped by the central office.
Now it is necessary to separate an aircraft design institute specifically to meet civilian needs, integrate the scientific research strength of the Magic Academy and two aircraft manufacturers, accelerate the improvement of civilian models and the incubation of new models, and save a little bit of administrative power in the procedures.
Such an aviation design institute also has the risk of technology leakage, but at least the three parties are keeping an eye on each other, and each has to protect its own skills for its own benefit, which is much better than being undertaken by a single company.
