Arcane Lord

Xia Duo's proposal to establish a public computing resource pool certainly has his own selfish motives, but his selfish motives will not hinder the interests of the Northland Alliance. This is the real reason why he can talk here now——

Have a clear conscience.

…

After Chateau answered the two security protection options, Osmantus continued to ask about the costs of the two options, to which Chateau was a little more cunning:

"The number of gateway magic devices is determined by the size and quantity of the small network. Here I suggest setting the scale at 50 to 100 accessors. In this way, if 10,000 spellcasters are connected, only 200 sets of gateway magic devices are needed at most. .

"If you buy these 200 sets of gateway magic weapons from the Tower of Time, you will only need 400,000 Hilmel (Cormanso gold coins) in total."

In fact, when it comes to this number, it is even difficult for Xia Duo to say it, because not long ago, the Tower of Time just made more than 10 million from the third generation communication weapon, and it was in just a week (there will be no such thing in the future) efficiency).

However, because Lingsi Network's gateway magic uses ectoplasm-like materials, it should actually be regarded as consumables, rather than equipment that can be maintained for a long time.

In other words, 400,000 is only the cost of one use cycle. In the future, as long as the public computing resource pool wants to maintain it, it will continue to purchase gateway magic weapons from the Tower of Time on a regular basis. This is a long-term and stable source of income.

…

The actual cost of a set of 2,000 gold coins for a gateway magic weapon is about 1,000 gold coins, which is slightly less. If it were not for the convenience of the Northland Alliance to establish a public computing resource pool, he would actually be willing to pay several times more. Anyway, it is a public account, no Zaibai is not slaughtered.

In addition to the gateway magic weapon, the same is true for the special connector. The quotation given by Xia Duo is 2,000 gold coins per piece, but the actual cost is more than 1,000 gold coins, which is higher than a set of five gateways.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Although the material cost of the special connector is not high, the manufacturing cost is relatively high. It requires the use of a high-level mage, but the gateway magic weapon does not.

Of course, this kind of special connector can also be regarded as a consumable material, but because its essence is a combination of "consciousness projection carrier + ordinary connector", the former is easily damaged, while the latter is not.

Users can actually only purchase the "Consciousness Projection Carrier" component, which costs about 1,000 gold coins. If they are not willing to spend this money frequently, they can only choose to directly connect to the real consciousness, or not use it at all.

In fact, with the existence of the gateway, this kind of protection is almost enough for ordinary users, and there is not much need to equip it with a "consciousness projection carrier" component.

According to Xia Duo's calculations, the "consciousness projection carrier" component of the Lingsi network connector can only be used for one or two months. This is the total time. Considering that no one will stay connected all the time, the actual service life will be more than two months. moon.

…

As for the service life of the gateway instrument, it is related to the traffic of consciousness information passing through the gateway. If the traffic is high, the service life will be short, and if the traffic is low, the service life will be long.

Judging from the actual use of Xia Duo in the Tower of Time, 50% of the people in the Level 3 perception depth access state need to replace ten sets in about a month.

If it is a public computing resource pool established by the Northland Alliance, it may be used more frequently, which means the traffic will be higher. Estimating based on 10,000 access users, about 150 units may need to be replaced a month!

Calculating this amount based on Xia Duo's quotation to several representatives, it is almost 300,000 Hillmel, which is equivalent to about 360,000 Netheril gold coins.

For the Tower of Time, half of this is pure profit. In other words, if the Northland Alliance builds a public computing resource pool and the number of users reaches 10,000, the Tower of Time will be using the gateway method every month. There will be a net income of 180,000 gold coins on the device.

Considering that the settlement currency is Hilmer, the actual income is actually higher. (A set of Gateway Magical Artifacts costing 1,000 Nise gold coins is sold to the Northland Alliance for 2,000 Hillmel)

…

Seeing that Xiaduolian had given out the specific quotation and even the service life of the relevant magic weapons, even Osmantus, who was still doubtful, couldn't help but feel a little more confident.

Subsequently, the representatives of the five countries and the German elders of Evereska asked some questions one after another, and the meeting officially ended.

"Thank you to Consultant Xia Duo for taking the time out of his busy schedule to answer our questions. We will carefully consider whether to establish a public computing resource pool. Thank you again. We will notify Consultant Xia Duo as soon as there is news."

"You're welcome. As the creator of Lingsi Network and a researcher who has a need for computing resources, I very much hope that this public computing resource pool can be built."

When he walked to the door, Xia Duo said one more thing, "Actually, it's better to have an actual experience than to discuss it. When this temporary recruitment is over, I can provide the alliance with a batch of gateway magic weapons and special connections for experiments. "

Hearing what Shado said, the five representatives were also moved. As a Nese person, Tirion took the initiative to ask: "Isn't there now?"

"The gateway magic weapon still needs to be improved. I hope that by then the gateway magic weapon of the Tower of Time will be unanimously recognized by spellcasters from all over the world for its excellent performance."

Xia Duo is not an excuse. Although the Tower of Time already uses gateways as an important means of protection for the Lingsi network, it is more commonly used in combination with the Intelligent Brain. There is indeed no version for commercial sale alone.

Moreover, it may not be possible to restore this thing within a day or two. The demon's temptation and attack must be thwarted first before there is time to produce a commercial gateway magic weapon.

It is really not an easy task to weaken the performance while ensuring that it passes the Northland Alliance test as much as possible!

…

On the way back to the lounge from the conference room, Shado suddenly remembered that the action team was agitated because of the demon's repeated attempts. After contacting Tirion, he turned back again.

Before several representatives left, Xia Duo immediately responded to the situation, "It is difficult for a temporary spellcaster to last long. It has only been two days and he is already a little restless. It is not yet sure what the demon will try next." When do I feel the need to consider the arrangements of these mages?"

"What's your opinion, Consultant Xia Duo?"

"First of all, of course, the alliance needs to come forward to appease and stabilize the emotions of these mages. Secondly, we can consider forming a standing team of high-standard mages, so that we don't have to recruit them temporarily every time."

After saying that, Xia Duo didn't give several representatives time to react, turned around and left. It was enough for him to start the matter of forming a standing mage group. The real decision-making was made by the top leaders of various countries. The most he could do was advocate it in the Severnton Parliament.

He has too many things to do on his hands now, and he actually doesn't have much energy to take care of it.
