Arcane Lord

To retain the idea of ​​​​this mobile spellcasting team, considering the impact on the next operations, Shado did not intend to make suggestions to the Northland Alliance immediately.

However, the idea of ​​a public computing power resource pool does not have much direct impact on the mages of the current action group. If it has an impact, it is also a beneficial impact.

Therefore, during a break after a rehearsal, Shado put forward this suggestion through Ambassador Tirion, and Tirion also said that this suggestion came at the right time.

If it had been proposed at another time, the elven countries might not be willing to comply with Sha Duo's wishes, given his status as a human and his special role in the Lingsi Network.

But now, they just need to make some noise to distract the demon descendants. Tirion said that he is relatively confident that the matter will be finalized in the near future.

…

Next, Sha Duo stayed at the Northland Alliance headquarters. Like him, there were also the volunteers recruited temporarily this time. Of course, only the people in the action team needed to be on standby at the Alliance headquarters, and the others only needed to stay. Just do it in Everesca.

As for when to start taking action, this is not decided by the Northland Alliance, but by the demons. The current fluctuation signal of the timeline monitored by the monitoring center shows that the overall trend is that the duration is getting longer.

But the intervals between signals are also getting longer, and not all signals last longer than the previous signal. Occasionally there are some shorter ones, as if the demon is teasing.

By the second day of Xia Duo's stay at the Northland Alliance headquarters, the longest signal detected by the monitoring center had reached three minutes. This time allowed a relatively accurate location to be located.

But a signal of only three minutes does not conclude that there must be a time-related ritual there.

In fact, even if the signal lasts for more than ten minutes, it may not be possible to conclude that the source of the signal must be a time-related ritual!

However, considering the window period for stopping the ritual, action must be taken within 6 or 7 minutes of detecting the signal. Otherwise, if it is really a ritual, it will be too late to stop it.

The reason why the source of the signal 6 or 7 minutes ago is not investigated on the spot is because of the possibility of demonic probing, and it cannot be exposed yet that the Northland Alliance has mastered the timeline fluctuation signal monitoring technology.

It was a comparison of patience with the demon. After all, the signal 6 or 7 minutes ago, even if it was caused by the ritual, was still within control.

However, Xia Duo had a hunch that the devil would not try it many more times, because the ritual window period was mentioned in Puffin's consciousness. Although Puffin did not know the specific time and place, he could still learn from the Illuminati. I feel a sense of urgency in all the arrangements.

It is conceivable that the current temptation of the demon is likely to be a preview of the formal ceremony. As long as the opponent is prevented from performing a ceremony and the opponent misses the window period, it will be even more difficult to perform the ceremony again.

Therefore, timing is very important. Although the Northland Alliance did not know the existence of the Illuminati's time-related ritual window period, it made a relatively correct decision invisibly, that is, not to strike directly to alert the snake, but to wait for the opportunity to move, and move to hit the critical point. .

…

At noon that day, Doom came to deliver food to Sha Duo, and also informed Sha Duo about the latest progress of the alliance's high-level meeting.

"Just now, the alliance meeting officially approved the Huifeng Mountains Resource Development Plan, and established the Huifeng Mountains Resource Management Committee based on this plan. If nothing else, it will be announced to the public this afternoon."

"It's really fast!"

Xia Duo sighed, and then asked: "What about the public computing resource pool? Was there any discussion at the alliance meeting? What was the result?"

"Ambassador Tirion has already mentioned it at the meeting, and representatives from various countries seem to be quite interested, but I don't know why there was no formal vote."

Without a vote, there is no chance, at least not for this meeting.

But Xia Duo noticed something unusual in Doom's words. He was interested but did not enter the formal voting process. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with something or had doubts.

Xia Duo felt that it might be because of himself, but it might also be because of the risks of spiritual linking. After all, the risks involved in using it on a small scale and providing it to everyone are completely different. The Northland Alliance should be cautious.

…

After that, Dumu stayed with Shado for a while and talked about the outside affairs before leaving. After Dumu left, Shado was on standby as usual - the Avatar side conducts action rehearsals with the mages of the action team every once in a while. .

The ontology continues to study the power of order.

At almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon, news came from the Lingsi network of the computing team that the Northland Alliance had officially announced the resource development plan of the Gray Peak Mountains, and someone even "forwarded" the complete plan to Lingsi Come to the network.

Shado had a general understanding, and it turned out that it was similar to what Tirion said before. The Gray Peak Mountain Resource Management Committee would be established first, and then resource development would be carried out under the framework of the committee.

Specifically, to establish a large-scale mine in the Huifeng Mountains, it is necessary to recruit a large number of grassroots managers and technical workers, and to purchase a large amount of mining and smelting equipment.

The so-called bidding means outsourcing the mine. It solicits the construction, management and operation plans of the mine from qualified chambers of commerce. After review, the relevant teams will be selected for recruitment and included in the Northland Alliance system. But in fact, it is more Hang a sign.

This plan is indeed just like what Tirion and Shado had discussed before. In all likelihood, Netheril's chambers of commerce and workshops will not be able to catch up with the first wave of dividends.

But the mithril mine discovered in the Gray Peak Mountains is too rich. With the current mining technology of various countries, if they are fully mined, it is estimated that a thousand years is a bit uncertain, but it is not a problem to support it for dozens or hundreds of years.

If you can't catch up with the first wave, you can catch up later.

The Northern Alliance will not allow individual chambers of commerce to monopolize the development of the Gray Peak Mountains. The initial plan is to re-tender every ten years.

Because the bidding plan involves the business plan, but what business plan does a mine have? In fact, it is the output and quality of various resource products.

Changing every ten years will certainly reduce the profits of the winning chambers of commerce and workshops, but it also gives other chambers of commerce and workshops opportunities. More importantly, this way will force technological progress and continuously improve output and quality.

Of course, because of this, it is more difficult for latecomers to get ahead, but at least there is a chance.

…

That night, Shado received a "call" from Jenna, asking for inside information about the development plan of the Gray Peak Mountains. This made Shado think that if he could integrate the relevant resources of Netheril, he might not be unable to win the bid in the first round.

Although the technical level of the relevant chambers of commerce and workshops in Netheril is generally behind that of the elves and dwarves, if the whole country is integrated, it will still lag behind, but it will not be completely out of touch with the elves and dwarves.

More importantly, the relevant equipment developed in the Gray Peak Mountains can be collected from the elves and dwarves. The rest is nothing more than providing people and plans, and humans may not be much inferior in this regard.

Even if the experience is poor for a while, at most it will give up the profits of the previous few years to explore experience, and it will always be improved later, and it can also drive the domestic technological progress of Netheril.

If we take into account the balancing measures of the Northern Alliance in the development of the Gray Peak Mountains, it may not be impossible to allow a human team that is still a little backward for the time being to exist.
