"In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that this is a very simple truth. HMM... to put it simply, according to your design, this element machine in Pelican town can provide night lighting for our town for a year. Until next year, the only thing we need is to buy a magic crystal again. "
"From another perspective, if our town, like now, needs a bright mage to light each element lamp every night for a year, rain or wind, and can''t have any rest, how much does it cost?"
Tesla was stunned, and Napa next to him was silent now.
Ailuo smiled and said, "if someone entrusts our guild to light Margo for a year, I''m afraid it can''t come down without one or two thousand gold coins. And the price may need to rise the next year. It is impossible to buy a piece of magic crystal to solve the problem. "
"So here, the contradiction between the element machine and the magician appears."
"Before the appearance of the element machine, magic was a thing that only a few people selected by God could use. For most ordinary people like me, a magician is a very noble and mysterious existence. Because they are noble and mysterious, because these magicians can use some powers that we ordinary people can''t use, so we respect them and even worship them. In terms of economy, we will also strive to fulfill the expectations of these magicians. "
"Just like the element lamp I just mentioned, if the night in our town is too dark and we want light, we can only pray for those magicians to give us light in addition to making more fire. Magicians will get our reward and have excellent social status. "
"But in other words, if we have an element machine, there is no need for us to invite these magicians and give them money. These magicians will be cut off part of their income. What they can do, we ordinary people can do by using the element machine, so the status of magicians in our minds will gradually decrease. Finally, we treat magicians like ordinary people, with neither respect nor contempt. "
"Therefore, if the element machine is really successfully expanded, so that each of us ordinary people can compete with and even surpass the power of those magicians by operating these machines... This also means that the end of those magicians has come."
At this point, arrow paused a little. He gave Napa and Tesla a a little time to think carefully. When their thoughts finally turned around, he smiled faintly and said, "now, do you understand why the Royal Society has to work so hard to prevent the development of the element machine?"
After listening to the whole process, Napa''s ears hung down involuntarily. The cat shook its head helplessly and said, "money, interests, power, social status... You humans really can''t deviate from these things no matter what you do. Even a magician cannot avoid vulgarity. "
Arrow smiled and said, "what is free from vulgarity? In my opinion, this is really normal. If you have powerful power but can''t bring yourself a lot of benefits, then these power are equivalent to waste. During the war years, the income of magicians doubled. In peacetime, the income of magicians will never be too low. This is a very normal phenomenon. "
Napa snorted, didn''t look at ello and continued, "well, even if you''re right, they''re too anxious, aren''t they? The element machine looks unstable. Do you think this kind of thing can compete with the mature magic system? It''s a little too exaggerated. "
Arrow held his chin and said, "no, I don''t think there are many smart people in the Royal Society. Once the development of something may threaten your position, you should immediately nip it in the bud. "
Napa shook her head. "I still can''t believe it. If, as you said, the development of element machine is likely to replace the position of magician, then this will be an epoch-making reform! It will also rapidly enhance the national strength of this country! After all, this means that the mature element machine can make every ordinary person become a magician. Why do you think leaders will refuse such things that are beneficial to the country? "
In this regard, arrow laughed. He kept waving his hands, as if he had heard something very funny. After a long time, the president finally stopped his laughter, wiped tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Napa, you really underestimate us humans. How can vested interests sacrifice a small part of their interests for the sake of the overall situation? "
"In this world, what those who have mastered power, status and wealth fear most is not the stagnation of social progress, but the great change of society. Because this kind of change is very likely to make their current advantage disappear in an instant! "
"Therefore, once this phenomenon that may produce change is encountered, even if it is really something that is of great benefit to the country, the people and the society, the vested interests will try their best to use all the resources in their hands to suppress it."
"As long as we can ensure that these interests in our hands will not be separated, no matter how small, as small as the power to eat more meat and drink more water than others every month, even if we can only use stones and sticks like the ancient times, It doesn''t matter to hunt Warcraft in the jungle in animal skin clothes. So, if I''m not mistaken... The last explosion of the element machine hurt people was the result of repression. "
One side heard Tesla suddenly anxious: "President arrow! You mean that the explosion of our guild''s element machine was deliberately caused by those magicians'' Association? They didn''t even hesitate to kill a man for it! "
Arrow shook his head and said, "no, no, no, you understand something beyond what I said. I don''t know exactly what happened to the explosion of the element machine, but one thing I''m sure of is that a few months after the explosion, there is still no sense of cooling down. On the contrary, it is more and more widely spread in the scope of public opinion, and the description of the element machine is more and more terrible. There is no doubt that this is the result that the royal society would most like to see. Therefore, there is no doubt that these propaganda against your guild comes from the Royal Society, which should be no problem. "
Tesla, who just seemed to want to fight back, immediately sat back in his chair like a deflated ball again.
After the installer sat back, Napa suddenly asked, "so? Why are you so bold? "
Ailuo was slightly stunned: "bold? What''s bold? "
Napa ignored the guy''s pretending to be stupid and continued to hum: "since she knows that this thing is strongly opposed by the upper class, and it is likely to lead to the invention of social change in the blue bay empire. More importantly, it has clearly been listed as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and has been banned by the Royal magician association through the promulgation of laws. In this case, would you support this guy to continue to develop the element machine? It''s really not like you. "
All along, arrow said these words with a smile. Although the topics discussed just now are very realistic, his performance seems to have nothing to do with himself, just talking about some interesting gossip news.
But now, the smile on ello''s face, which was directly exposed by Napa, gradually solidified.
He no longer faced the Warcraft, but with a slightly stubborn smile, silently looked at the account book in his hand, as if he were trying to figure out his mind.
After a long time of thinking, he finally breathed out slowly and turned to Tesla: "so, do you have the confidence to make a better element lamp?"
Tesla was a little stunned. It seemed that he couldn''t understand the president''s meaning. He hesitated and said, "I''ll try my best to make... This. But? President arrow, is this really all right? I thought it was our guild''s element plane that killed an aristocrat, so it came to this point, but now it sounds that this problem is much more serious than the death of an aristocrat! Do you really... Want to continue to support us? "
Arrow took a long breath, like making a very stubborn decision, and said slowly, "as long as you can insist, I will support your guild within my ability. The only question now is, can you do it? If you can, show me. I''ll help you with the next things. If not, then all the support I just said will be invalidated. "
Facing arrow''s serious eyes, he also looked at the meaningful smile on the corner of the president''s mouth. For a long time, Tesla could not help but gently clench his fist and nodded: "I... understand. I can do it. "
"Very good."
Arrow reached out and patted the guy on the shoulder——
"Now, go to bed and put me into research immediately after waking up tomorrow. I need to see your research results in the last three days. In addition, you''d better help me deal with the unstable factors of the element machine at the same time! Go! "
