Lu Feng, who had transmigrated to the Wizard World decades ago, saw no hope of advancing to a First-Order Wizard. With regret, he returned home in glory, back to his native secondary continent, int...
Chapter 200: The factory restarts, and the era of large-scale potion making is coming!
With the warm welcome from everyone in the Green Tower, Lu Feng was treated like a hero.
After a lively celebration, Lu Feng returned to his room and had a good night's rest.
The next day, early in the morning, Lu Feng woke up early.
When he arrived at the office hall where he usually worked, Ms. Natasha and others were already waiting for him here. They looked as if they had been excited all night and had not even closed their eyes.
Of course, not having a night's rest had no effect at all on the formal wizards.
Formal wizards have strong mental strength and are sometimes so busy with experiments and training that not sleeping for several days is a basic skill.
"Rester, how are you? Did you have a good rest?" Ms. Natasha asked with concern.
She had learned about the assessment process for the pharmacist qualification certificate. It was long, tedious, and incredibly difficult. Even a second-level formal wizard like Lu Feng would have to use up all his mental energy to complete an exam.
It's not a pleasant feeling to have all your mental energy depleted. You need a good rest to make up for it.
"It's okay, I'm in good health and I'll be fine in one night!"
Feeling Ms. Natasha's concern, Lu Feng smiled.
As he said, Lu Feng has the function of Qingmu Spirit Realm in his body, which nourishes and restores his mental power much faster than ordinary second-level wizards, and one night is enough. Ms. Natasha's worries are actually not a big deal for Lu Feng.
Seeing Lu Feng's rosy face and high spirits, Ms. Natasha knew that Lu Feng was not talking nonsense.
"Then let's go first. When we were celebrating last night, I told you about restarting the alchemy factory! Our task today is to slowly restart the factory! As long as the alchemy factory is started up, it will be equivalent to a machine that produces an endless supply of magic stones," Ms. Natasha said impatiently.
Thinking of the beautiful sight of the magic stones rolling in, even Ms. Natasha could not escape the temptation. Seeing this scene, the people in the hall smiled at each other.
Magic Stone is always everyone’s favorite thing!
"No problem, let's go! I have long wanted to turn the medicine factory into a remote operation. After all, I am the core of the medicine factory and I get most of the profits. Now it will be my loss if the medicine factory stops for any longer!" Lu Feng laughed.
"Let's go, my factory boss!"
Everyone followed Lu Feng and cheered, and the hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Thinking about the huge amount of magic stones that Lu Feng could earn, none of Luo Ke and others in the field felt jealous.
Lu Feng was able to earn this income from magic stones entirely through his hard work.
He totally deserves it!
Luo Ke and others had also looked at the examination content for the Pharmacist Guild's first-level pharmacist qualification certificate. The difficulty was so great that they began to back off and were discouraged after just one look.
With the clamor of several people, Lu Feng came to the alchemy factory in the wizard tower.
The alchemy factory is also located in the green tower. It is a huge factory space made up of several layers of wizard towers, which uses advanced space expansion technology.
As soon as he entered the alchemy factory, Lu Feng saw huge tanks and reactors standing in the center of the factory. There were also various large-scale medicinal material processing equipment around them. Many wizard apprentices were cleaning and maintaining various equipment under the guidance of Talling Irene's clone.
This alchemy factory completely stopped production after Wizard Tia went to the Norton plane to participate in the war.
Without a pharmacist with a pharmacist qualification certificate, these huge medicine-making machines cannot operate completely independently.
Most of the key steps in refining potions require the intervention and regulation of the wizard's mental power. A potion factory without a pharmacist is like a wizard's treasure without energy, and it has to stop.
"These alchemy machines were all of excellent quality when Tia purchased them. Even after more than 20 years, they are still not outdated. You should get familiar with them first. If there are any that don't work well, tell me directly and we will buy new ones to replace them! After all, we are spending the money of the Wizard Tower!"
Ms. Natasha admonished Lu Feng in a generous manner.
"clear!"
Hearing this, Lu Feng chuckled and nodded, walked into the medicine refining factory, called Talling Irene, and carefully checked every medicine refining machine.
These machines are related to Lu Feng's future income from magic stones, so he cannot be too careful.
The first-level pharmacist qualification certificate that Lu Feng obtained also included a lot of knowledge about factory-based medicine refining, and he had also studied various medicine refining machines.
The amount needed for the exam is small, so there is no need for this kind of factory-style alchemy, but the theoretical exam involves quite a few such questions.
Now that it has been applied in practice, Lu Feng has quickly gotten the hang of it.
After a busy day, half a day had passed by the time Lu Feng finished checking the medicine-making machines.
"Madam, these medicine-making machines are well maintained, and their quality and performance are also OK. After these apprentices have taken care of them, I will test the machines the day after tomorrow. They will be stable in about three to five days, and we can start refining medicines on a large scale!"
Lu Feng told Ms. Natasha the results of his examination.
"That's great! This factory will make a lot of magic stones soon! In this way, you don't have to deal with official business anymore, you can just focus on taking care of this medicine factory! As for your original position salary, I will keep it for you. By the way, Lu Feng, have you thought about what potions our factory is going to make?"
Ms. Natasha was very happy after hearing this and said that she would allow Lu Feng to get a magic stone salary for free.
The free magic stone smells so good!
"Thank you, ma'am!"
Lu Feng smiled and said, "I checked the reactor in the factory and found that it can refine three kinds of potions at the same time. I am going to refine the Water of Life, Cold Moon Light Potion, and Pollitt's Howling Potion!"
"The Water of Life potion can replenish a large amount of nutrition and vitality. It is one of the daily essential potions for formal wizards. The potion has the largest sales volume and the profit is lower. However, the factory refines a large amount of potions, and the advantage of selling the Water of Life is that it is long-lasting and stable!"
"The Cold Moon Cold Light Potion is a potion that can quickly replenish spiritual power. It is one of the common 'little blue bottle' potions used by formal wizards. All the materials for the Cold Moon Potion happen to be grown in the Verdant Tower. It just happens to be a one-stop production and processing, safe and stable!"
"As for the Polit's Howling Potion, it is a high-quality potion that assists meditation. It is not cheap and is sold at a high price. With the stability guaranteed by the first two potions, we can try to increase the upper limit of the alchemy factory with the more risky Polit's Howling Potion."
After Lu Feng was confident of the research, he did some research on the medicine market while purchasing materials for Qingmu Lingjing and screened out a number of suitable medicines.
Today, based on the actual situation of the medicine factory, Lu Feng quickly selected suitable medicines from the list he had prepared.
"Okay! I'll do as you say!"
After a moment's thought, Ms. Natasha supported Lu Feng.
The lady was in charge of the financial expenditures of the Green Tower and had some understanding of the best-selling items in the market. She could not find any problems with Lu Feng's arrangement of the three potions.
Lu Feng discussed the details of the medicine factory with Ms. Natasha. After all, such a large factory could not be run by Lu Feng alone.
If he pulled out all the Taoist soldiers and captive creatures in the Qingmu Spirit Realm, he might be able to have some fun, but that was obviously impossible.
Therefore, Lu Feng also needs to coordinate with Ms. Natasha about the issue of workers in the alchemy factory. He needs to recruit some wizard apprentices with some alchemy skills from the large number of wizard apprentices in the wizard tower to come and work for Lu Feng.
However, this is not a difficult task.
Under the leadership of Tia Wizard, a certified pharmacist, there is a strong atmosphere of alchemy among the apprentices in the Green Tower, and the alchemy factory was in operation for a long time more than 20 years ago.
Before Lu Feng returned to the Trandi secondary continent, he worked in a factory and earned magic stones with his excellent apprentice-level alchemy skills.
Therefore, once Ms. Natasha posts the recruitment notice on the notice board of the wizard tower, it is estimated that Lu Feng will be able to recruit a group of qualified wizard apprentices soon.
In addition, the medicine refining factory also consumes a large amount of materials for refining medicine, all of which require Ms. Natasha's help in coordination.
There are other complicated issues
In short, running a pharmaceutical factory is never an easy task!
The second day, the third day,
After seeing the recruitment notice, a large number of wizard apprentices came to apply.
Lu Feng took Luo Ke to carefully select suitable workers and provided them with some basic on-the-job training.
The Green Tower paid a good salary in magic stones, and students could also learn formal alchemy skills at work, which attracted many wizard apprentices to sign up. In just one day, Lu Feng recruited enough people.
On the fourth day, after a brief training, Lu Feng led the wizard apprentices to start debugging the alchemy machine.
On the fifth day, Ms. Natasha delivered the first batch of pharmaceutical materials to the warehouse of the pharmaceutical factory.
That afternoon, Lu Feng and his wizard apprentices started up the medicine-making machinery and began to make the first batch of potions after the medicine factory was restarted.
The first time he refined it, Lu Feng chose the simplest of the three potions, the Water of Vitality.
The factory version of the Life-giving Water potion is much more complicated to prepare than the small dose of Life-giving Water in the laboratory. After all, the amount of materials used is not at the same level at all.
Various materials are carefully selected and processed by wizard apprentices, and the essence needed for the water of vitality is extracted through various machines.
Finally, Lu Feng put the essence of all the materials into a large reactor according to the refining order, and with the help of his powerful mental power, they were fused and reacted fully.
At noon on the eighth day,
With a loud bang!
With a roar, the cover of the large reactor in front of Lu Feng opened, and a burst of hot mist gushed out from the opening above the large reactor. Suddenly, the area around the large reactor was filled with a strong smell of life water.
The wizard apprentice next to him felt as if he had eaten too much just after sniffing a few breaths of the escaping mist.
"What a powerful medicine! It must have worked. I've smelled the water of vitality before. The vitality in the water of vitality is too strong for us wizard apprentices. Just one sniff is enough to make us full!" A wizard apprentice with good knowledge next to Lu Feng sniffed the mist and said with shining eyes.
Lu Feng ignored the talking pharmacy apprentice and took a sip of the water of vitality from the large reactor and tasted it carefully.
"Yes, it's still the same flavor! It seems that his strength is really at its peak!"
After drinking a mouthful of life-giving water, Lu Feng's eyes lit up.
Then he took out a professional wizard's secret treasure and conducted a detailed test on the water of vitality in the reactor.
Water of Life, first-level potion, quality rating: 7.5
"After factory-based refining in huge quantities, I can't achieve the ultimate refinement with my current mental strength. However, this quality of water of vitality is already considered good in the market! It can be put on sale now!"
Lu Feng raised his eyebrows, not very satisfied with his results this time.
Normally, the quality score of the water of vitality he refined himself could reach around nine points, and occasionally he could even refine a perfect quality potion that was close to full marks.
However, this is barely enough!
After all, this is factory refining and individual small-scale refining, which are ultimately not on the same order of magnitude.
After the test and scoring, Lu Feng instructed the pharmacist apprentice to start filling.
A large-scale reactor can produce eight to nine thousand bottles of standard dose of Life Water. It takes three days and requires a certain amount of manpower.
Excluding the cost of the water of vitality and the manpower, material and energy consumption of the factory, a bottle of water of vitality can earn more than ten magic stones, and the profit of a pot of potion alone is 120,000 magic stones.
It is equivalent to Lu Feng’s monthly income in the Green Tower, a second-level wizard.
"As expected, refining medicine is a business that can earn magic stones. After passing the pharmacist qualification exam, factory-style refining medicine has become a business that makes magic stones as easy as drinking water! No wonder teacher Tia was able to build the Verdant Tower."
After a little calculation, Lu Feng saw the bright future of the medicine refining factory.
After the wizard apprentice filled the water of vitality, Lu Feng took out the badge awarded to him by the Pharmacists Guild, infused it with mental power, and stamped his own pharmacist certification on each potion bottle.
After completing this step, this life-giving water can become a qualified product.
After packing the branded water of vitality and handing it over to Ms. Natasha, Lu Feng's task was completely completed. The rest of the sales would be left to Ms. Natasha, who specialized in this field.
Lu Feng just needs to sit back and wait to collect the money!
"You have performed well today. Each of you will receive a bottle of Life-giving Water as a reward! Go back and have a good rest. Next, our Green Tower's pharmaceutical factory will officially start operations!"
Lu Feng waved his hand and rewarded each wizard apprentice who worked today with a bottle of life-giving water.
"Long live Lord Rest!"
Upon hearing Lu Feng's reward, the wizard apprentices immediately cheered.
A bottle of Life-giving Water was sold for fifty or sixty magic stones outside, which was their income for two or three months.
Whether selling it or diluting it with water and using it slowly, it is a good extra income for wizard apprentices.
Next, the medicine refining factory managed by Lu Feng officially started remote operation.
Pot after pot of Life Water was continuously refined. Lu Feng refined the factory refining process, allowing the quality score of the Life Water to stabilize at around 8.1 points before he began to refine the Leng Yue Han Guang potion.
