Chapter 260 The Two Sect Masters

After the three of Roland Hill went to the beach, they looked around and soon found Letis and others in the seaside restaurant. They were eating cold drinks on the open-air balcony on the second floor.

Nia waved her hand above, and the three people below responded as well, then walked over.

"Want ice cream?"

A few people turned around the dark walls and stairs, walked up to the second floor, and saw Letis say to them.

The location of this restaurant is excellent. It is on a hillside overlooking most of the harbour. The spacious open-air balcony on the second floor is furnished with parasols, small tables, surrounded by rectangular wooden flower pots with long There are low flowers and plants, and a few round poles form a guardrail, which is quite poetic.

"I want to eat~" Lily, who especially likes sweets, answered with a jump, and then walked over briskly.

After the three sat down, a few cups of ice cream adorned with cherries were quickly served.

Blowing the warm and comfortable sea breeze and drinking the cold juice, several people began to chat, telling what they had seen and heard today.

"I saw a lot of new things, and I like them a lot." Lily said so, and Bumantha and Niya also agreed.

"Of course, this is a huge change brought about by technological innovation." Lettis said with a little smugness. As a descendant of mages born in Ruerna, she is naturally quite proud of this.

"It's really more comfortable." Alena also agreed, but she didn't envy Ruerna's new invention, because the Southern Islands under the Young Moon Council were also developing well. Both can be described as having their own merits.

"What do you think of Lorraine?" Bumansa looked at the girl quietly drinking juice.

"Me?" Roland Hill had experienced something similar in her previous life, and naturally she was not greatly affected. She just felt that the current technology was not developing fast enough.

Rourna, or the country of Oz, has reached a high level of technology such as machinery and power for hundreds of years, but it has not been popularized as quickly as in the previous life, but the progress has slowed down.

She was thinking about the reason just now. After all, this world is different from her previous life.

"It feels good, but why hasn't it been popularized on a large scale? This is Yubelei. Although all aspects are good, other small places are still the same." Roland Hill replied.

"Probably because I can't afford it." Niya said emotionally, good things are always expensive.

"It's a bit expensive, but the cost is there." Letice said with a raised finger.

"The purchase of raw materials, refining, processing, etc., all require money and costs."

"Which links cost a lot of money?" Roland Hill asked with great interest. She wanted to know the views of everyone in the world, and it happened that several companions came from all over the world.

"First of all, it's the materials." This point was deeply touched by Letis, who herself came from the Ruerna alchemy faction.

"Metal ore is mined from various countries and then transported. Every time it is transferred, every time it passes through a noble level, it needs to be paid. In the end, when we buy it from a merchant, the price is very difficult to lower."

"Manpower is also the reason." Alena talked about her own experience. She came from the Southern Islands, where the population has never been very dense.

"Many people want to farm, fish, do chores, etc. There are not many local people who can recruit work."

"Then let people from other places come." Lily asked simply and directly.

"For people from other places to come so far, they must give more money, otherwise they might as well stay at home, and when people from other places come, the local food may not be able to support it, so they have to import food, so the price is higher. already."

"Is that so." Lily was a little resentful.

"In general, the profit margin is not large enough." Roland Hill thought thoughtfully.

The high cost of materials and labor makes the profit margin of commodities smaller, and the price is difficult to be cheap, and only a small number of people can afford it, so the market cannot be expanded.

The market is not big, and the overall profit ceiling is not high. As a result, related technologies and products did not expand explosively, but progressed slowly.

"But it's better now." Letice said while holding the cup, looking at the busy port.

"After the merger of Lourna and Verga, the resources, land, population, and market have all expanded a bit, and it is not as difficult as before."

"If Frost Rose continues to expand and merges the resources of the entire Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua, it should be able to break through the previous imprisonment." Alena said with a sigh.

"Without the previous card restrictions imposed by nobles in various places, the import price of raw materials can be reduced, and the population flow can also reduce labor costs." Roland Hill added.

"Well, that's it, isn't it very powerful." Lettis said cheerfully.

"However, my favorite thing to do, Alena, is to break the illusions of your alchemist faction." Alena raised her finger.

"?" Letis looked at Alena in confusion.

"Our young moon faction is not bad. If we do it, the effect will definitely be good. It's really uncertain which side will win in the future." Alena waved her fingers.

"Okay, okay, you two don't fight."

Bumantha came out to smooth things out. Although Alena and Letis had been roommates for more than a year, they were like enemies, and some of their ideas were always different from each other.

After a few people sat on the second floor of the restaurant for a while, and then returned to the place where they lived, Alena and the three also retrieved the musical instruments they bought from each other.

At the dinner table, the two continued to argue before.

"

It's easy to cool down, preserve food, or make ice cream with alchemy items. "Letisse said about the advantages of the alchemist faction.

"It's not difficult. We have a kind of conch in the southern archipelago. After improvement, it is born with an inscription pattern. As long as a little magic spar is added, it can also release air-conditioning. And it is made without metal, and it is not easy to break."

"But the output is not high, and the cycle is long."

"The output is not low. Some islands are specialized in cultivating this kind of conch in the shallow sea area. As long as a few mages maintain it, there will be several thousand a year. Your production model needs more metals and mages." Alena retorted road.

"What about the magic locomotive, or even the airship, you can't popularize this." Lettis once again threw out the advantages of her own school.

"This, although the vehicle is not good, our special pack beast is better adapted to various road conditions, and can travel everywhere without repairing roads." Alena continued.

...

Roland Hill quietly listened to the argument between the two, feeling a burst of novelty, and at the same time slowly clarifying the characteristics and advantages of the two factions.

The alchemy faction undoubtedly has some overlap with the industrial machinery of the previous life. Heavy industry, large-scale machinery, unified standards, and production capacity do have advantages.

However, the Young Moon faction also has many advantages in biology, pharmacy, coping with various environments, small and flexible, and low material requirements.

It would be nice to combine the advantages of both factions. Unfortunately, it still seems a little difficult.
