Complaints are complaints, hard work is hard work. Even if the Lord of Thunder has a stomach full of things to vomit, even if he wants to slap Gretel on the head with a magic crystal board, even if he wants to turn around and leave - he must fulfill his duties as a teacher before that.
What does a teacher do? Isn’t it just about collecting resources for students? No need to do that, little Grete has grown into an expert at collecting resources, able to share the benefits with his disciples, senior brothers and sisters, and even share the benefits with him as a teacher; he can set up topics for students and point out the benefits. Research direction - there is no need for this. Now Little Gretel has come up with a lot of topics, and then respectfully brings them to him. Even he, the teacher, is researching the topics created by the students; answering questions for the students. Confused - Okay, this must be done. If we don't do it well, the status of teachers and students will really be lost!
"First of all, do you have to solve all the problems before you start helping the Dragon Clan have children in batches?"
"Uh... But this is very expensive and the success rate is very low..."
"Secondly, if you don't solve the problem of dragon eggs hatching and dragon hatchlings awakening, but start directly, will the success rate be completely lost?"
"It's not that...but..."
"Again, if you solve a batch of problems first and create a batch of children for the Dragon Clan, will it hinder you from solving subsequent problems?"
"This will never happen...but..."
"But wasting too many resources? Will a group of dragons be delayed in pregnancy and childbirth? A waste of time and energy?" Grete nodded, nodded, and nodded vigorously.
If he really messes up and develops a technology, he will help the Dragon Clan to do a batch of assisted reproduction, and then develop a batch of technologies, and do a batch of assisted reproduction, and now he has made a lot of money - just combine the fertilized eggs, no matter what Pregnant, not to mention giving birth, let alone hatching!
Just like in the previous life, those assisted reproductive institutions paid once for examination, once for artificial insemination, once for ovulation induction injection, once for egg retrieval, and again for test tube and transplantation - what?
The combination of sperm and eggs failed. None of the 4, 8, or 21 eggs that were retrieved developed into suitable morula, and none of them could be transplanted into the body?
Can the morula transplanted into the body fail to implant? Can I get back the money I paid before?
Absolutely impossible! If I couldn't get pregnant naturally before, there must be something wrong with the man, the woman, or both the man and the woman!
Or the fallopian tubes are blocked, or the endocrine system is not regulated, or there is less sperm and weak sperm. In short, there is something wrong somewhere!
If not, why seek medical help? Since there is a problem, then the sperm and egg cannot combine, the fertilized egg cannot divide normally, and the divided fertilized egg cannot implant in the bed - isn't this a matter of course?
Why do you think it's a medical institution's problem? If Gretel had this kind of attitude, he would be able to convince a large number of people, or indeed, a large number of dragons.
However, he couldn't bear it: Pregnancy for dragons is such a troublesome thing. From conception to birth, from birth to hatching, both parents, especially the mother, have to put in so much effort and mobilize so much energy.
As long as he thinks that if he forces a mount with incomplete research, three-quarters of his efforts and energy will be wasted, or seven-eighths will be wasted, he will not be able to be shameless and use immature methods to plunder the Dragon Clan. remuneration……
"And this is voluntary! Voluntary! Even they begged you!" The Lord of Thunder hated iron and steel: "They all came to beg sincerely, and even spent money to block the door. Please satisfy them. What's wrong? - It's not like you didn't explain the stakes clearly!"
"Uh..." That's true. Medical treatment is never certain, certain, certain, guaranteed to cure, or guaranteed to achieve the desired effect of the patient.
It’s always progressing day by day, year by year, layer by layer. Just like assisted reproduction, first artificial insemination solved the problem of being unable to mate naturally; then the first-generation test tube solved the problem that sperm could not swim through; and then the second-generation test tube solved the problem that sperm could not break through the egg barrier... It takes a mouthful to eat. Eat in one bite and do things one by one.
Every technological advancement can always solve some problems; looking at it from another direction, every technological advancement, there will definitely be a group of people crying: this time the technology still cannot solve our problems!
If we can't solve this problem, then we can continue to study it. What else can we do?
"Then... I'll put the batch number first?" Gretel hesitated. The Lord of Thunder was stunned for a moment, and then he understood
What does "release numbers" mean? He smiled and said: "Of course. Complete a batch of work first, send a batch away, and let the dragons see that your work is still very fruitful." The Lord of Thunder did not hesitate. He replied: "Of course, you will still receive the due payment, don't be soft-hearted. - Thinking on the bright side, once this batch of numbers is released, you will at least finish the simple batch, right?"... There are also The reason... From the perspective of avoiding excessive medical treatment, if artificial insemination can be used, first-generation test tubes are not needed; if first-generation test tubes can be used, second-generation test tubes are not needed.
On the one hand, the seeker will suffer less; on the other hand, experiencing less artificial intervention is equivalent to experiencing more natural selection. The fetus will be able to survive the pregnancy smoothly, be born successfully, and have a higher probability of being healthy, lively, and disease-free...
"Teacher, I'm going to assign the number first." Grete bowed respectfully and walked out.
Walking to the door of the study room, he suddenly stopped and turned around again: "Teacher, this batch of assisted reproduction has been completed and the money has been collected. What if they refuse to pay for the next stage of research?"
"..." The Lord of Thunder was speechless and choked for a moment. This kid is having such a good life that he has even forgotten the basic skills of cheating on a budget?
A research budget is not possible and will never be possible. As a magician, as a magician who advances through research, who has not fought with the parliament and the budget department of the parliament all the way to the top?
From a low-level mage to a high-level mage, from a young man working under a teacher to a high-level mage with an independent laboratory, to a legend with a complete team under his command... Year after year, one project after another, this profession I never put down my homework!
That is, this little guy, from the Eagle Kingdom to the Sun Kingdom, from the Elf Forest to the Dragon Island. Basically, every time, the financial resources of a kingdom are used to support one person's research, and the financial resources of a race are used to support a laboratory... What materials do you want, what energy do you want, and what do you want? That's it, basically getting what you want, never feeling it
What does it feel like to be "expensive"? Over time, he even forgot the ability to divide research into several stages, hand in tasks in stages, and apply for projects in stages!
"Have you never thought about who needs your research the most?"
"Legendary dragon..."
"Does your current research meet their needs?"
"It probably won't work. The pregnancy problem of the legendary dragon is still unclear. More research on chromosomes and energy is needed..."
"Then you're still worried that they won't pay?"
"Uh..." The higher-level magicians are richer, and the higher-level dragons are also richer. This wave of releases can solve at most half of the mature dragons, maybe only one third; next, most of the pregnancy problems of the mature dragons, the pregnancy problems of the legendary dragons, the hatching problems of dragon eggs, and the problems of young dragons Awakening issues...take your time, research one thing, ask for a wave of funds, provide a service, and collect a fee!
With the teacher's guidance, Gretel was shameless and generously let the public know. Male dragons in their prime, including male dragons under their prime, who need to have children, can bring their spouses to seek services.
Within three days, his mage tower was overwhelmed by young and old dragons. Grete had to build a small house outside the mage tower, lead out a transmission line, and let specially arranged demons receive them there: "Yes, it only serves older male dragons who have difficulty in reproducing, not older ones." Female dragons serve. Reason? - There are many reasons why female dragons have difficulty in reproducing, and research is difficult. The Mage Tower has not yet launched this research!"
"What should I do if the dragon couple is of the same age? - Then I can only ask you to know better. It is not our fault that the results are not good, and the failure to successfully conceive or lay eggs is not our fault..."
"Can't get pregnant the first time? If you can't get pregnant the first time, you can do it again for free. There is no additional charge within three times... Beyond three times? If you can't get pregnant even three times, it means that your problem cannot be solved by current research!"
"If you need service, please come here and queue up... Queue up and get the magic contract! Please be sure to read all the notices clearly, then sign the contract and pay the deposit... First come, first served! First sign, first pay the deposit, first to enjoy the service!"
"Legends will not be entertained! Legends will not be entertained! - Female dragons over 300 years old will not be entertained!"
"It only guarantees fertilization, not the survival of fertilized eggs, nor does it guarantee that the dragon egg will be pregnant until birth! Please pay attention to the magic contract and make sure you can accept it again! We will not accept requests for refunds or compensation due to later problems!" That is, the tower spirit! The controlling puppet has enough patience to repeat these requirements to each customer over and over again or even several times - no matter whether the customer is questioning or angry, attacking or noisy, hesitant or unwilling. He kept changing his mind, and both the tower spirit and the golem gave him a perfect service attitude.
Don't be impatient, don't get angry, don't jump around, don't spit on people with a croaking face - spray the dragon, don't slap the table and turn it over.
"Fuck if you want to, or get out if you don't", or
"Is your head filled with water? You can't understand such a simple condition?" The smile on his face is always perfect. At most, the customer's inquiry takes more than half an hour, and he will point out: "Hello, your consultation The time has expired, please leave the room temporarily and give the opportunity to the next person..." Then, the door opened, the walls of the room fell, and the puppet moved left and right, along the track to the edge of the room. , bowed to the giant dragon lining up at the door: "Please—" These numerous restrictions successfully dissuaded more than half of the customers.
In the end, only 11 older male dragons, with their spouses or other female dragons, came to line up at Grete's side.
Then, they saw a miracle: "Isn't it, so fast?"
"Isn't this too fast?"
"How many can you make in one day?"
"Give him a month, and he can finish all the dragons on Dragon Island, right?" Assisted reproduction, or in other words, sperm selection + assisted sperm and egg combination, has indeed formed a process.
The sperm selection process can take up to an hour, including half an hour waiting for liquefaction; then, it only takes half an hour to send the selected sperm, cast spells, and assist in the union of sperm and eggs.
All in all, one and a half hours. ——In other words, if each dragon couple casts the spell alone, it takes one and a half hours per pair, eight hours a day, and 5 or 11 dragon couples can be made, which can be completed in two days; if it is an assembly line operation, then Even more incredible.
Everyone lined up and went from link to link. In one day, 11 couples got it all done!
Of course Gretel couldn't go directly to the assembly line. ——After all, he still paid a lot of money, and his work must be worthy of the money given by the customer.
In other words, you need to give the other party a private hospital-level experience, and you cannot use the service procedures of a public university to trick them: pre-conversation, informing, comforting, and inspection before starting to cast spells. Everything requires him to go to the hospital in person and smile. communicate.
Read the notice aloud to confirm that both spouses are willing, informed, and agree... There is no way, until now, his disciples, or other high-level spellcasters in the same direction, do not have enough status to be recognized by the Dragon Clan.
If you want to make money, Gretel has to show off his face. ——He actually wants to charge hospitalization fees.
Since it takes about seven days to determine whether the spell is successful, it is best for the female dragon who comes to seek medical treatment to be hospitalized near the mage tower.
The problem is that the true forms of the dragons are too large. Building a large number of wards for them requires huge investment and the gains outweigh the losses. Building human-sized rooms is not suitable. Mainly during the fertilized egg division and implantation period, it is best not to mix humanoids and dragons. Changing between shapes may affect the success rate of pregnancy... I have to let them find a place nearby!
It doesn't matter whether it's the sky and the ground, whether it's drilling into a cave and soaking in sea water, it doesn't matter, the mage tower can't provide a ward! What a shame!
Except for technical assistance fees, no money can be charged! Even so, the speed at which Gretel was making money was so fast that the dragons who came to seek treatment could not close their mouths.
A pair takes half a day, a pair takes half a day. In just one day, you can earn the Dragon Clan’s decades of savings! Decades!
In five and a half days, Gretel dealt with all the dragon couples who came to seek medical treatment. When the last couple was finished, the first couple had a vague feeling: "I feel... I should be pregnant... I feel that this time there are four children, four little lives." ..." The first brass dragon couple who came to seek medical treatment cuddled together, rubbing their long necks and whispering.
Nearby, two pairs of metal dragon couples looked envious: Are you pregnant so soon? Then...can we have another litter?
