Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 22:


“This? Isn’t it too… simple?” Sui Xiong frowned as he looked at the gray-white box.

Akain sighed: “Of the ideas submitted in the past month, this is the most reliable one.”

Sui Xiong pressed his tentacle lightly, and the box opened. There was no cold inside, it was just normal temperature. This surprised him a little, and asked: “Isn’t it cold storage?”

“The low-temperature refrigeration method is difficult to achieve large-scale storage, and the storage time and storage cost are much higher.” Akain replied, and took out an exquisite silver-white box at the same time. A refrigerated box for high-end food is worth about 500 gold coins, and even people with higher incomes are generally willing to rent it. It can store food for about two days, but in fact, after more than one day, the taste of the food will be obvious Down.”

Sui Xiong nodded. Although the silver-white box is very delicate, it is actually clear at a glance-it’s nothing more than the outer shell, the insulation layer, and the ice tray inside. After the food is put in, it is equivalent to keeping it in the ice cellar, so it can naturally be kept for a longer time.

“This kind of refrigerated box also has advanced, using magic to reduce the temperature inside the box, the lowest can reach the point where the ice cubes will not melt for a long time.” Akain said, “but the cost is higher, the cheapest Don’t even talk about thousands of gold coins, but also need to frequently replace the magic spar in it as an energy source. It is a real super luxury-anyway, I have lived so much, and only recently I saw a real object because of the need of investigation.”

Sui Xiong nodded slightly, he understood the actual situation of the “cold storage” technology in the world.

As far as technology is concerned, the level is quite high.

As far as the degree of promotion is concerned, **** is not as good.

“In contrast, the idea of ​​this new’fresh-keeping box’ is completely different. It uses magic sterilization, which can kill all bacteria or fungi that may rot and spoil food, and then there is no need to lower the temperature. It can keep food fresh for a long time.” Akain said with a smile, “I never thought that my research can be used in this aspect!”

The inventor of this fresh-keeping box was an assistant of Akain before he became a god. The mid-level mage was very curious about Akain’s research and has been learning from him. However, unlike Akain, his main research direction is “how to eliminate bacteria and fungi” and “what effect will be produced if they are eliminated”.

Over the years, he has been studying these things silently, enjoying himself in the research. If it hadn’t been for this time that Sui Xiong had issued the oracle, he might just keep studying like this, never considering practical applications.

“Is this a theoretical scholar?” Sui Xiong looked at the inventor’s information and couldn’t help but smile. “Jules, this name is quite familiar…”

“What’s wrong with this name? It’s quite common. Have you ever heard of a big name called this name?” Akain asked curiously.

Sui Xiong shook his head. He couldn’t say that the author of a series of science fiction novels he read when he was a child was called by this name.

At this time, he couldn’t help but feel a move in his heart.

(By the way, this world has always only had fantasy-oriented works, and science fiction hasn’t appeared yet. Why didn’t I write a few science fiction novels?)

There is no doubt that the well-known bard who never shows up in front of people, “Through”, will have a new work coming out.

As a friend of Akain, Jules naturally changed his beliefs and became his believers after he was ordained. As one of the few high-level believers of the **** of medical care, Akain specifically contacted him and talked to him about “collecting magical ideas that can improve people’s living standards”, and Jules pondered for a while. , And made this crisper.

“So easy?” Sui Xiong asked in puzzlement after hearing the introduction.

“Almost.” Akain said happily, “If you have accumulated enough, it is a logical thing to produce results-it’s nothing more than that he had never thought about turning his research into practical things before.”

Sui Xiong nodded, carefully studying the crisper.

Because it does not pursue a strong heat preservation effect, its production cost is not high. Although a low-level mage is required to charge the magic array before saving something, but after a charge, the thing is put in and activated Magic circle, even if it’s over. After that, as long as you don’t open the fresh-keeping box, it will be no problem for ten days and a half months.

Although it is not very cheap to ask a low-level mage to cast spells and charge, but at least it is much cheaper than the previous cold box.

But there is also a problem with the fresh-keeping box. Most foods can be stored well, but there are a few foods that are put in, and the taste will change slightly. The taste is almost the same at first, but you can have a fine aftertaste. When chewing, you will feel less delicate and changeable.

For this, Jules himself didn’t know why, and of course Akain didn’t know.

There are too few samples for research, and there are only so few varieties. Why do the same spells and the same environment, the taste of these foods will become less detailed, while other foods have not changed?

Jules has made this one of his preparatory research topics. After completing the current research, he will study this topic carefully.

Sui Xiong also pondered for a long time, and he also didn’t understand where the problem was, but he was certain that even with this small flaw, this invention could still be regarded as an important achievement.

Not only that, Jules also proposed a special magic model-to eliminate all kinds of bacteria, fungi, and any other vital things in food without distinction.

This spell sounds cruel, but in fact it has a very narrow scope of application, basically it can only be used to help preserve food. After Jules’ experiment, after using this spell, as long as you pay attention to sealing and isolating the air, the preservation time of food can be greatly extended.

…His “preservation box” was actually designed based on this spell. The main difficulty lies not in casting the spell, but in sealing it.

The reason that really troubled him for a while, so much so that it took more than half a month to make the real object, because he never had a proper sealing method. Finally, after discussing with a few businessmen in the food business, I found a better idea and completed the design and manufacture of the fresh-keeping box.

The next day, Sui Xiong personally met Jules to learn more about the causes and consequences of the entire invention, and then praised him, saying that he would calculate the path of legend specifically for him, and **** him when he hits the realm of legend. convoy.

Of course Jules was very happy, but at the same time he did not forget to emphasize the help of those businessmen and their contribution to the invention. So those businessmen were also fortunate enough to meet the great designer and builder of the void city, your Majesty the Void Mask that shook the heavens.

“I have given him what Jules wants. What do you want?” Sui Xiong asked with interest.

Businessmen, you look at me, and I look at you. After a while, a bolder reply: “What we want, your majesty, you have given us.”

“Huh?” Sui Xiong was taken aback, carefully recalled for a long time, and was sure that he must have never seen these people before, let alone give them anything.

“In the Northwestern Republic, our businessmen can do business with peace of mind. We don’t need to be afraid of evil forces to conquer our property, and we don’t have to worry about the jealousy and oppression of the nobles… This is what we have been pursuing. You have given us peace In this place, we have always wanted to do something for you to repay you. We can make a little contribution to you. We are very happy.” The businessman laughed as he said, “Really, this is enough.”

Sui Xiong was stunned, he thought for a long time, and finally smiled.

“I never thought that what I did would get such a high evaluation.” He said, “In fact, I just did what I wanted to do and established the satisfactory social order that I love. You can agree with it, I am also very happy.”

So the atmosphere became very harmonious and friendly. In the end, Sui Xiong left the businessmen to eat in his kingdom of God, and then gave them a bottle of special wine-the taste is naturally needless to say, the most important thing is, This wine has the effect of prolonging life.

In fact, it was researched on the basis of life-enhancing potions, something that Sui Xiong designed for Kalisa Riley.

“The First Beauty of the East Coast” is now over half a hundred years old, but still young and beautiful, no different from a girl in her twenties. Her own strength is not strong, and the key to maintaining her youthful and beautiful appearance lies in this strange wine.

As for her own efforts…hehe, it can’t be said that it didn’t work at all…

For this gift, the businessmen like it very much, and they are grateful for all of them when they leave. Sui Xiong is also very happy. In the past few years, he has never been in such a good mood.

A few days later, Jules was called out of the laboratory, and together with the merchants he built a workshop ~IndoMTL.com~ to produce this kind of fresh-keeping box. And the magic model he researched has also been widely disseminated. Any interested mage can learn this model as long as it pays a small amount of study fees through the Mage Association or other organizations.

As for whether they can master this spell smoothly, and whether they can perform it well after mastering it, that is their own business.

70% of this study fee will go to the organization that preserves and teaches spell models, while the remaining 30% goes to Jules. This is also a common practice, every inventor of practical magic, as long as they are willing to spread their magic, will get a lot of wealth. From this they can continue to research and get new results…and embark on a virtuous circle.

“The author can only get 30%, so stingy!” After learning about this, Sui Xiong muttered a little dissatisfied, “I drew comics for people back then, and I can get half of the subscription income…”

So he ran to negotiate with Imia Lamperus, the **** of spellcasters, and finally changed the share ratio.

Because Jules is the first mage to benefit from the new share ratio, this new share ratio is called “Jules share.” ***3***6***9***
