Chapter 250 Alchemy Factory, Start!
The screws on the last metal plate were tightened, and Amber pressed the switch of the magic element refining furnace.
The energy in the gems was transformed through a magic circle and poured into this huge device. Indicator lights lit up one after another, and the blast furnace was completely started.
From now on, until the blast furnace is damaged, the core will continue to run and will never be able to stop.
Amber pressed a bunch of switches on the operating table and entered several alchemical formulas.
Hundreds of feed ports began to input various alchemical materials, and a few minutes later, an equally large number of discharge ports began to flow out refined liquid medicine.
Amberxiu had already prepared the bottling line here, and soon hundreds of bottles were filled with potions of various colors.
These are not finished products, but only basic materials for refining medicines. They need to undergo secondary processing and blending before they can become medicines that can be sold directly.
If Amber had another refining furnace, he could just plug these potions in and directly produce the finished product. But this thing was too expensive. Not only was it expensive, but the amount of magic power required for long-term use was also very scary. If he bought another Amber, he would probably lose a lot of money.
The packaged basic medicine will be automatically transported into boxes, and then carried by the puppets made by Amberxiu and sent to various warehouses.
Undead cannot be used here, because low-level undead cannot control the spread of dark magic and will contaminate these potions. The energy of the puppet is confined to the energy circuit of the mechanical body and will not leak unless it is destroyed.
The materials for these puppets were also obtained from Gustavo Flynn, and they are all the most basic styles. However, the work is just transportation, so there is no need to be too meticulous. Just make sure they are cushioned and shock-absorbing, and don't break the medicine bottles.
This underground factory looks very lively, but it cannot be compared with the former alchemy city.
Amberxiu had seen the alchemy center factory in their main city. There were hundreds of magic element refining furnaces alone, and there were millions of magic puppets working in them. It was so magnificent that it made his soul tremble.
How happy he would be if he could get half of the money earned from this factory!
But it’s not a big problem. Amber will be able to build such a magnificent alchemy city sooner or later, starting from this dungeon.
The basic medicines are sorted and placed in different categories. At the current rate, if the raw materials are sufficient, all the warehouses can be filled in about three months. With secondary processing, this time can be extended to half a year at most.
Therefore, the sales aspect also needs to be considered, and it is not enough to just stock up.
After Harvey's market research, Amberxiu prepared to sell two medicines in the desert.
The first type is the most common vitality potion. There is no way to optimize the formula of this type, and it is impossible to engage in price wars, so it can only compete with the original sellers for the market.
However, Amberxiu was lucky. Several of the sellers were cooperating with the original Alchemy City. After the president collapsed the Alchemy City, their supply channels were also cut off. Amberxiu had asked Harvey to contact them. Opening up these sales channels would save a lot of time.
The second is a new type of drug developed by Amber himself - sunscreen.
During the day, the desert dwellers would wear sunglasses and headscarves to wrap themselves up tightly, making it very hot and stuffy. But if they didn't dress so tightly, other races, except for the lizardmen, would get sunburned.
Sunscreen must have a market, at least it allows people to expose their arms and legs to breathe.
Of course, this market has been eyed by some people for a long time, and some people make sunscreen, but the price is extremely expensive. I'm afraid only the nobles in the desert can afford it. They mainly take the high-end route and have different models with various scents.
Amberxiu planned to go the civilian route, so he needed to make a cheap sunscreen.
This requires first cracking the other party's formula and then improving it. For other alchemists, this may be a task that takes many years of hard work to complete. After all, most alchemists will encrypt their own formulas and add various useful and useless auxiliary materials to make the products weird and elusive.
Only the formula of vitality potion, which has been studied thoroughly, is given to everyone, and it has reached the point where the entire competition depends on labor costs.
But Amber didn't need that much time. He just had to make a list of possible materials and then throw a few dice to get a pretty good guess.
I’m sorry, but the prophecy wizard is so powerful. If you believe in fate, fate will give you gifts.
It took Amberxiu a few days to almost crack the formula of the sunscreen, and then he understood why the other party's sunscreen was so expensive, because one of the important ingredients was very rare and the price on the market was also shockingly high.
This ingredient is the myconid spore powder from the Underdark.
Every year, countless adventurers enter the Underdark, a place full of dangers and opportunities. The fungus-man spore powder is also brought back by these adventurers, so the output is very small and occasionally out of stock.
This restriction makes sunscreen a luxury item for the nobility, just like Amber's modified version of the youth potion, which only cheats the nobility and not the poor.
After confirming this, Amberxiu immediately thought of the withered rose.
If he could purchase a large quantity of fungus-man spore powder, he could then produce a large quantity of cheap sunscreen and perfectly occupy the market.
As for the copyright issue... I'm sorry, the Dwarf Kingdom does not protect copyright. As long as you don't steal other people's products and sell them at home, there will be no problem at all. Therefore, Amberxiu did not have any psychological burden in cracking the software, and he was not afraid of being sued by others.
Since it is a product of the Underdark, Amber will naturally contact the Queen of Withered Roses. After all, she has the final say in the Underdark now.
I took out the Codex of the Undead and was about to send a private message to the Undead Queen, but I saw that the group chat was very lively.
This is rare. The members of the Mourning Poetry Society usually stay at home and rarely have such lively conversations. Amber looked at the chat history and was surprised to find that the protagonist this time was Herky Stone.
This dwarf vampire boasted about his recent research results in the group, which attracted the attention of the [Poet].
The name of the Mourning Poets Society comes from "mourner" and "poet".
The mourner is the president, and although the other one is not stated explicitly, everyone knows that he is actually the vice president.
After seeing Herky Stone talk a lot about Arthur Lane's research, this senior responded in the group chat.
[Poet: Arthur Ryan still has a heroic spirit? Is it the Lord of the Morning's mercy on him? ]
[Don't like human: pity? What does that mean, Senior? Arthur Ryan has done so much, why does it sound like he made a mistake? ]
[Poet: Don’t you know? After Arthur Ryan died, he couldn’t even enter the Kingdom of God. His soul must have been completely annihilated. This heroic spirit may be the only trace of him left in the mortal world.]
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This conversation shocked all the group members.
[Crown of the Headless Horseman: What's going on? How could Arthur Ryan's soul be annihilated? He is clearly the chosen one of the Lord of the Morning. It's not surprising that he entered the Kingdom of God while he was still alive. How is this possible?]
[Pale Little Skeleton: Right, right, that's impossible. He drove all of our dragons out. Even though we are enemies, this achievement is enough to get him into the Kingdom of God.]
Not only this undead couple were gossiping, but [Mute] and [Non-Vegetarianism], who had been silent for many years, couldn't help but join in the topic, expressing their incomprehension of Arthur Lane's fate.
When Amber opened the Code of the Dead, he happened to see the explanation of the Poet.
[Poet: I have seen this guy before. He was drunk and mocked my poetry with an elf thug, so I beat them up and locked them up for three days. In the end, I gave Arthur Ryan a punishment. From now on, whenever I write a new poem, it will be directly reflected in his soul. I want to see if he dares to mock me again. But later, this punishment disappeared. I can sense that his soul has completely dissipated. ]
Amber Xiu didn't know where to start complaining.
The elf gangster with Arthur Ryan...isn't that the old king of Silvermoon High Garden?
Just one heroic spirit can fight back and forth with the demigod, the Mute. When he was young, Arthur Ryan might be stronger than the old guy Silver Moon Knight.
Arthur Ryan and the old king of the elves, two legends in their prime, were actually beaten up.
This senior poet is very likely a true god.
The god of the dead... Could it be Velsharoon? Something is wrong. Velsharoon is not of this character.
Now is not the time to study this, so An Boxiu asked quickly: "Senior, could it be that the Lord of Dawn has removed this spiritual imprint?"
[Poet: No, He would not have waited so many years to take action, and I would have been able to sense it if it was forcibly destroyed. This mark was destroyed along with Arthur Ryan's soul, I am sure of that. It's a pity that I was asleep when Arthur Ryan died, otherwise I would have definitely gone to see what happened.]
The senior spoke so confidently that Amber Xiu also believed in his judgment.
The dead are very familiar with souls. A god of the dead says that a soul is destroyed and it is destroyed. Even the prince of lies may not be able to deceive him.
But this is not right. Why did Arthur Ryan end up like this? If a Saint King with such great achievements cannot enter the Kingdom of God, how can others have the face to do so? "What did the Lord of Dawn do? What accident happened to Arthur Ryan that year? Is it related to the dragon blood curse?"
Amberxiu felt that there were more and more mysteries, but this kind of gossip was just casual chat. What he should do now was to revive alchemy as soon as possible.
So Amberxiu stopped reading the gossip in the group chat and quickly sent a private message to Withered Rose.
It didn't take long for Withered Rose to send a reply.
[Dead Rose: Fungus-man spore powder? What kind of fungus-man do you want? ]
This question stumped Amberxiu. Are there so many kinds of mushroom people?
