Chapter 113 Energy Conservation

The pace of summer is gradually accelerating, and the weather is gradually getting hotter. ,

Different from previous years, this year just entered the middle of May, and people have already started to frantically snap up the new flying magic fans and magic air conditioners.

Because according to the experience of previous years, due to the limited production of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the annual production of magic fans and magic air conditioners is far from keeping up with the demand on the market. If you buy them late, you may not be able to buy them at all.

Moreover, this summer is the season when Xinfei Chamber of Commerce jointly launched a new generation of magic fans and magic air conditioners, which naturally aroused widespread attention from people, and it is necessary to act first.

According to the propaganda made by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in major newspapers, the new generation of magic fan adopts the related technology of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce when it developed the wind magic engine, which makes the wind stronger, and at the same time cooperates with the water magic array to make the magic power The wind blown by the fan has a touch of water, which is more cool and moist, making people feel more comfortable when blowing.

In addition, while the new generation of magic power fan increases the wind power, the efficiency of magic power conversion by the magic circle is improved due to the improvement of the magic circle erection technology, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the magic power fan.

The energy consumption of the previous magic fan was kept at about three days for a unit of high-concentration magic crystal, but the new generation of magic fan can increase this time to four days.

Although it seems that it is only an extra day, if you look at it cumulatively, the energy consumption saved every month is very considerable.

The improvement direction of the new magic air conditioner is similar to that of the new magic fan, both of which are mainly focused on power and energy consumption.

Moreover, the energy consumption of the magic air conditioner is far higher than that of the magic air conditioner, so the energy saving is more obvious in the new magic air conditioner.

According to a small data calculation made in the "Banta Daily". It proves that if the new magic air conditioner is used. Calculated on the basis of eight hours of daily use. After one month, three standard units of high-concentration magic crystals will be saved.

Based on the current pricing of the standard high-concentration magic crystals at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, saving three standard units of high-concentration magic crystals would save as much as 30 silver coins.

"That's not too much?" Steele frowned and looked at the report on the new magic air conditioner in the "Bonta Daily", and couldn't help shaking his head. "It's only 30 silver coins, which is still a month's savings. For those who can afford a magic air conditioner that costs 30 gold coins, this will not be taken seriously at all."

Xu Yi laughed, shook his head and said: "Steel, you are a typical full man who doesn't know how hungry a hungry man is. It's not much to save thirty silver coins a month? Could it be that you have forgotten that many people in this world don't even have food? Don't you have enough to eat?"

Steele glared at Xu Yi angrily: "How can someone who can't eat enough to afford a magic air conditioner? How can someone who can afford a magic air conditioner care about such a mere thirty silver coins a month?" spend?"

"The first half of the sentence is correct, but the second half is completely wrong." Xu Yi laughed and said: "In this world, there are many people who are more reluctant to spend money the more they have money, such as We are all familiar with the great magician Truchi. If he can save thirty silver coins a month, he will be very happy."

Steele chuckled: "Hey, Xu Yi, if the great magician Truchi heard what you said, he would definitely be angry."

"Don't worry, he will only be happy when he hears it. Because that's what he is." Xu Yi shrugged. "In addition, you overlooked another problem. Steele, it's just a magic air conditioner. It can save 30 silver coins every month. Then if you add a magic fan, you can save at least 40 silver coins a month. If you add more Extend this energy saving to magic stoves, magic rice cookers, magic bread machines, magic lamps, etc., etc. These household magic machines that are usually used at home, you don’t think the money saved every month will be quite considerable Yet?"

"But whose family would use so many household magic at the same time..." Steele stopped suddenly when he said this.

After glancing at Xu Yi, she suddenly remembered that Xu Yi was actually right.

After years of promotion and development, the concept of household magic machines has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the surrounding countries.

Basically, as long as a family with sufficient conditions will buy one of the household magic machines, it will gradually purchase other kinds of household magic machines, and eventually the family will have all kinds of household magic machines.

Because when you have used one of the household magic machines, you will be deeply impressed by the convenience brought by the household magic machines, and you will naturally think of buying more household magic machines to make your life more convenient and comfort.

The profit of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's household magic machinery department has been rising in the past few years, and it has been exaggerated year by year, because the new magic house concept proposed by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce several years ago has been truly accepted by everyone.

And if you want to enjoy the convenience brought by these household magic machines, you must pay a corresponding price.

In addition to the expensive gold coins required to purchase these household magic machines, these household magic machines must consume magic power crystals during use, which also incurs costs.

A newspaper in the Kingdom of Lampari once made a similar statistical report, proving that if a family owns all kinds of household magic machines that appear on the market, then under normal circumstances, the high-concentration magic crystals used in one month will A minimum of sixty to eighty standard units is achieved.

Based on the current pricing of high-concentration magic crystals by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this will cost six to eight gold coins per month.

So the newspaper came to a conclusion.

The new concept magic house life model proposed by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is very good, but if you want to enjoy this new type of convenient life model, you must bear the corresponding energy consumption.

Although this point of view has been refuted by many other newspapers, because even if the household magic machinery is not practical, there will still be various consumptions at home.

For example, the traditional method must use fuel such as firewood or coal, which not only takes longer, but also consumes a lot of materials. compare. I'm afraid it's not as cheap as using a household magic machine.

However, it is difficult to quantify the consumption caused by traditional living patterns. Using household magic machinery can easily quantify the consumption, and even give a very accurate figure, so it seems that the consumption of household magic machinery is much higher.

Of course, this point of view does not hinder the hot sales of household magic machines.

No matter how much it consumes, the substantial improvement brought by household magic machinery to daily life is obvious, and no one wants to continue to maintain the previous life mode under conditions.

It's just that if you can reduce some consumption under this situation, it will naturally be greatly welcomed.

Think about it, just the magic air conditioner can save thirty silver coins a month. Then counting all the household magic machines used at home, if there is a certain amount of savings, wouldn't it be possible to save one or two gold coins in this regard after a month?

After a year, that's a dozen or even twenty gold coins!

You know, just six or seven years ago, whether it was the Kingdom of Lampari or the Principality of Standing, the combined annual income of many families was probably only a few dozen gold coins.

Thinking of this, Steele instantly understood Xu Yi's thoughts.

"Well... that's not bad. For ordinary families, it is still necessary to be able to save a little every month." Steele nodded. After thinking for a while, he asked again: "But Xu Yi. Haven't you been vigorously promoting the standardization of household magic machinery? Now all the household magic machinery produced by other chambers of commerce have finally adopted the standard high-concentration magic crystal of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. But putting forward the energy-saving slogan at this time will greatly affect the sales of high-concentration magic crystals?"

Xu Yi shrugged: "This is my purpose."

"Oh? Why?" Steele looked at Xu Yi in wonder.

Xu Yi has always attached great importance to the magic crystal refining technology, and at the same time has been working hard to promote the standardization of household magic machine energy.

In Steele's view, this is obviously laying the foundation for the standard high-concentration magic crystals sold by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

But now Xu Yi is actively trying to reduce the sales of high-concentration magic crystals. What is the reason?

Xu Yi pondered for a moment, not knowing how to answer Steele.

The idea of ​​reducing energy consumption is deeply rooted in the mind of Xu Yi, a person who traveled from the earth. He has had this idea since the beginning of his research on magic machines.

Just like the most popular energy source on the earth—oil reserves are limited, even though the magic crystals on Sainz continent are everywhere and worthless, they are also limited.

If you don't know how to consume arbitrarily, the magic crystal will eventually be used up one day.

Even with the current reserve of magic crystals on Sainz Continent, it may take at least a thousand years before this day arrives, but Xu Yi hopes to formulate this principle for this continent from the very beginning.

Of course, this is for long-term reasons.

However, due to practical considerations, it is an old problem-the lack of production capacity of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

At present, only the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can refine and produce high-concentration magic crystals, and because this is extremely important, Xu Yi does not intend to transfer this technology to others in the short term.

Then, for a long period of time that can be imagined, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must undertake the task of providing high-concentration magic crystals for all magic machines.

Even though Xu Yi has already attached great importance to this issue, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's increase in production capacity of high-concentration magic crystals is still far behind the rapid growth of market demand for high-concentration magic crystals.

According to the evaluation data given by the Magic Research Institute, if the current situation continues, then at most three years later, the high-concentration magic crystals produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not be able to meet the market demand.

If this situation really happens, the consequences will be extremely serious. It will not only affect the sales of various household magic machines, but also shake Xu Yi's effort to promote the energy standardization of household magic machines.

When there are no high-concentration magic crystals to use, there will inevitably be many chambers of commerce that no longer abide by this standard.

Xu Yi's solution to this problem is to divide it into two aspects.

On the one hand, it is to strengthen the research and development of high-concentration magic crystals, and strive to increase production capacity and energy utilization of high-concentration magic crystals as soon as possible.

On the other hand, it is the new concept that he wants to convey to everyone through the new magic fan and the new magic air conditioner.

That is energy saving. (To be continued..)
