Chapter 188 Magic Research

The price of a hemostatic ointment is not high, about one silver coin.

Because the hemostatic ointment needs to use a small amount of purple head peak royal jelly, Richard's profit is not high, and the net profit is only about 25%.

But the three main legions add up, each legion purchases 20,000 hemostatic ointments a year, and the profit brought is also not small, adding up to about 1,300 gold coins.

Due to the limitation of royal jelly production in the territory, the annual production of hemostatic ointment is about 80,000.

Sell 60,000 copies to the main legion, the territory needs to keep 5,000 copies, and there are 15,000 copies available for sale.

Hemostatic ointment is a very scarce therapeutic drug in the North, and the effect is very good. Once it appears on the market, it is immediately in short supply.

The nearby barons and nobles came to the Harland territory again, wanting to buy this medicine.

However, there is no discount this time. Richard set the price at two silver coins per copy, and does not accept any premium, but can accept barter.

Selling hemostatic ointment to small nobles has a profit of five times that of the main legion.

Although only 15,000 copies were sold, the profit was several hundred gold coins higher than the 60,000 copies of the main army. However, selling to the main army was the political correctness of the Grant Kingdom, which was equivalent to paying protection fees, and Richard was very clear about this.

The income from 80,000 hemostatic ointments added up to about 3,000 gold coins.

Not long after the Goddess's Birthday Festival, it was time for the Riverbank Primary School to start school again.

There were quite a few students enrolled this year, and even though the tuition was expensive, there were still about 80 people.

The new students were basically children from wealthy families. Only a few of them came from ordinary families.

Although the war broke out last year, Richard still built student dormitories, expanded classrooms, and recruited two new teachers.

Although there were two new teachers, the number of teachers was far from enough.

In the end, Flora personally inspected several students with fast learning progress and recruited several students aged 15 or 16 who were good at learning as trainee teachers, who learned knowledge while taking charge of teaching tasks.

Sophia tested the magic talent for all the children who enrolled this year.

Among the 80 or so children, only two had magic talent. The two children are named Harrison and Greta, and they are about twelve or thirteen years old.

Children with magical talent will receive special attention from the territory.

According to the average of the past two years, one out of every fifty children has magical talent.

Magical talent is not too rare, but high-level magical talent is undoubtedly very rare.

Even if it is medium-level magical talent, Sophia has only found Anne after testing more than three hundred children. According to the current probability, it is about one in three hundred and fifty.

However, according to Richard's estimation, the actual probability may be lower.

There may not be one person with high-level magical talent like Wendy and Sophia among tens of thousands of people. Richard actually has only medium-level magical talent in magic.

This year, the territory has three formal magicians and five magic apprentices.

Among them, Anne and Adrian are both medium-level magic apprentices, and they can already participate in some magic experiments and listen to the exchanges of formal magicians.

Richard likes to communicate with different magicians, but the magicians in the Dawn Continent are generally conservative.

Richard could only hold magic meetings with Sofia and Wendy to exchange their experiences in learning magic.

He had called Adrian and Annie several times recently and asked them to write minutes of the meeting.

It would be very beneficial for apprentices to listen to the views of formal magicians on magic.

"Wendy, how is your recent research on ultrasound going?"

"After your suggestion, I studied the body structure of bats and have made some new discoveries.

The mouth and ears of bats are very special. The mouth and nose have a nose-shaped lobe structure, and there are complex special skin folds around.

Relying on this special body structure that can emit ultrasonic waves, it can continuously emit high-frequency ultrasonic waves. Through ultrasonic reflection and echolocation, the feedback information can be analyzed in the bat's brain, so that the flying posture can be adjusted and food and obstacles can be distinguished.

I have successfully made a tool for emitting ultrasonic waves by dissecting and studying the nose-shaped lobe of bats using blood steel and a small amount of mithril. You can try it."

Wendy took out a reddish-brown magic whistle from her pocket and blew it hard. Richard only felt a special vibration, but the sound was not clear.

Richard knew that normal people could not hear ultrasound, but the Dawn Plane was a magical plane, and many people had special talents, such as Richard's second uncle Powell, who had an extraordinary sense of smell, and some people had extraordinary hearing talents.

There happened to be such a talent in the territory, and he had been specially recruited into the army.

This person was named Luciano, and he was just eighteen years old. Although he was not very qualified to practice breathing, he was a very important assistant under Hayden.

"Luciano has an extraordinary hearing talent and can hear ultrasound. I will write a note to Hayden and ask Luciano to cooperate with you to do a good job of research."

After listening to the communication between Richard and Wendy, Sofia nodded and said, "The wavelength of ultrasound is shorter than that of ordinary sound waves, with good directivity and can penetrate opaque substances. Ancient magicians also did some research on ultrasound.

Research and treatment I have some in my hand, placed in the third row of the twenty-sixth bookcase, you can find it if you need it."

Richard nodded and said: "You can use the magic of transformation to temporarily transform into a bionic device, and you can use this device to complete echolocation. If you complete this magic, I think you can restrain invisibility."

The invisibility in magic is actually optical invisibility, which Richard has studied clearly.

Since it is optical invisibility, it does not involve plane space science, and it must be restrained by ultrasonic detection technology.

"In fact, there is another way to study it, which is to dissect Luciano's body structure to see what's special about him? If we figure out the principle of the talent of extraordinary hearing, we may not need to go through so much trouble."

"Wendy, we are emotional people, not cold magic machines. The study of magic should be kind and humane. Using human bodies for experiments has already broken the moral bottom line. If this is the only way to study magic, what is the difference between us and demons? Although we pursue power, we should not be lost by power.

A magician should establish a correct moral value. I think we can open a magic ethics course to educate magic apprentices in the territory."

Richard's righteous words made Wendy speechless. She waved her hand and said, "Okay, brother, you are right."
