Myriad Paths

The dilemma faced by the spiritual silk industry cannot be solved by uniting within them.

If it was just a matter of internal unity and everyone could solve the problem without competing with each other, then these people would have united immediately to form an industry association to jointly reduce production and maintain the world's ecology.

But the problem is that the opponents faced by Lingsijie are not themselves, but the entire foreign market. It is difficult for their products to differentiate. In this large-volume business, the opponents they face are all "magic weapons" assembly line'.

Yes, it’s not like your family owns this thing.

It is true that there are some differences in the spiritual silk world because of its unique magic weapon structure, which is why everyone likes it, but this kind of like does not reach the point of 'you have to', so if you dare to reduce production, others will dare to Use something else.

I can't eat Shaxian duck legs today, so I'll eat pig's feet rice. There is a difference, but not too much. You can eat both.

If the duck legs dare to be closed for repairs, then in two days everyone will eat pig's feet rice, and no duck leg restaurants will be able to open in the future, and the market will be emptied.

Therefore, the magic weapon silkworm is useful.

The things made by the magic weapon silkworm are indeed better than the magic weapon assembly line, and the performance can be improved by about 10%. The products made by the magic weapon silkworm can reach 75% or even 80% of the quality handmade.

Such a big difference can completely make up for the profit gap caused by production reduction, because it is different and powerful. The 10% performance gap is enough for the spirit silk industry to occupy a new market.

It is true that the magic weapon silkworm technology cannot impact the magic weapon assembly line market at all, because only the terrifying efficiency brought by the magic weapon assembly line can meet the magic weapon needs of so many people in the world, so the magic weapon silkworm will be divided into segments. Just a small market.

But the key point is that the spiritual silk world is only a fifth-grade world, and what is produced is not fifth-grade magic weapons. Most of them are seventh-grade and eighth-grade robes. The fifth-grade high-end products only account for a very small minority in the spiritual silk world. .

There are too many people in the world who are good at refining high-quality magic weapons. Some of them are even better than the refiners in the world, and they often go to learn the scriptures and principles.

However, for now, in the small market of the spiritual silk world, witchcraft silkworms can be completely replaced, at least according to Zhang You.

The actual situation will definitely not be known until it is actually implemented.

In the production line, Zhang You naturally introduced the various characteristics of magic silkworms to Mo Xiao, and showed him actual demonstrations and samples. He even directly touched the production line to explain in detail the advantages of magic silkworms.

"You see, witchcraft silkworms can completely solve these two problems. First of all, witchcraft silkworms are not picky. They only need the remains of the breeding industry. The spiritual silk world should have popularized the breeding industry. The residues of the breeding industry include Waste products such as residual souls can be directly put into production. Although they cannot be fully used, this greatly reduces the consumption of resources. "

"Secondly, the magic silkworm actually reduced the output. After all... the production efficiency of the assembly line is about two hundred times that of the magic silkworm. This is still the case where spiritual silk is limited to raw materials. If it is a full-power assembly line, the efficiency is at least One hundred thousand times more than magic silkworms, but that’s not important. We don’t need such a high output, and we don’t have that many raw materials.”

"With higher quality products, there will be opportunities for rotation. At least half of the raw material consumption of the magic weapon assembly line can be stopped and invested in the magic weapon silkworms. This brand-new technology from all over the world, Mr. Mo Xiao thinks, whether Can it solve your current predicament?" Zhang You said as he took a picture of the entire production line.

Mo Xiao raised his eyes and looked at everything in front of him, the witchcraft silkworms that kept eating and gnawing on the 'waste'.

The efficiency is not high, but the products produced are superior. In fact, Zhang You, a technical specialist, puts the artificial quality products too high.

Most low-level refiners may not be as strong as the magic weapon assembly line in refining magic weapons.

The craftsmanship of a refiner must be fed by resources. Apprentices are not qualified to enter the commercial market and can only rely on low-end customization to make a living. Only refiners at the middle level and above can win the magic weapon assembly line and gain a firm foothold.

But now, the wizard silkworms are even comparable to some mid-level refiners.

The development of technology is really amazing.

"It's... amazing. If everything is as you said, it can indeed maintain the world we have now to a certain extent. At least it can breathe a sigh of relief. However, there are still some problems. How difficult is it to breed and maintain magic silkworms? ?" Mo Xiao asked.

Zhang You explained: "Actually, there is almost no need for maintenance. The wizard silkworms themselves have the characteristics of being alive. As long as there is food and a clean environment, they will be able to multiply themselves as long as there is sufficient food." , otherwise it will stop multiplying.”

"Moreover, they have other properties, such as being able to perform self-sampling encoding..."

The introduction continues.

The same negotiations are being carried out with seventy or eighty different merchants in the spiritual silk world at the same time. Even outside the spiritual silk world, there are many introductions being carried out.

This is completely normal business behavior and is almost beyond reproach. At the same time, hundreds of layers of communication have almost completely blocked the existence of the Chamber of Commerce.

Even the Chamber of Commerce itself believes that this is a completely normal business behavior, everything is normal, and it is so normal that it easily passed the review of the spiritual silk industry.

——————————

While the business activities there were in full swing, on the other side, the Lord of the Lingsi Realm was talking to a humane young man.

This is a sixth-grade humane monk. He has an ordinary face and is not very handsome, but his eyes are quite sharp and impressive. He is wearing a typical Chang'an style green shirt, which makes people think of two words at a glance.

Too learned.

That's right, this is the robe of a student of the Imperial Academy. It has been worn out by him. This thing is a magic weapon. It can be worn to the point of being worn out. You can imagine how long it has been worn.

He was the envoy of humanity, but he sat majestically in front of the Lord of the Lingsi Realm, with a magic weapon assembly line in front of him.

It's this powerful machine. It's actually quite beautiful. It's said to be an assembly line, but it doesn't have that rough industrial feel at all. The whole thing is actually a translucent ball.

Like a... star.

So beautiful, so splendid, the whole is six feet, one inch and three points, and the circumference is one foot, eight feet, three inches and nine points. On it are carved the eight directions, ten heavenly stems, twelve Yuan Chen, twenty-four Qi, and seventy-two periods, defining the four-dimensional sun. Chen, one hundred moments of day and night.

It's more like a work of art than a machine.

This translucent sphere only needs to input raw materials, and it can be directly decomposed into gas. Then the gas can be weaved and assembled to quickly produce the preset magic weapon. The speed is astonishingly fast, as long as the raw materials are enough. , as long as one magic weapon assembly line can produce millions of magic weapons every day.

The Lingsi Realm Master looked at the magic weapon assembly line and was slightly absent-minded.

This... is much better than their assembly line.

Some of the magic weapon assembly lines they now have were obtained by chance, some were obtained through clever plunder, and some were obtained through treasure hunting and leakage. Anyway, they used various means to get it.

However, those magic weapon assembly lines are actually things that have been scrapped and eliminated long ago due to humane use. But even so, they are already treasures that are enough to change the ecology of the spiritual silk world.

The one in front of me is from Humanity, a brand new product, not only a new style, but also equipped with the corresponding plug-in developed by Li Dao, which increases the efficiency by thousands of times and can produce inferior seventh-grade magic weapons!

This one is enough to eliminate all magic weapon assembly lines in the spiritual silk world and change the ecology of the entire world.

"Boundary Master, this is the magic weapon assembly line that Youyi Dao participated in. Is this efficiency enough for your next expansion? It is not only limited to the present, but will also have great benefits in the future. The price is not expensive, and only a few sixth-grade You can get it in the world, and at this price... you can't even pick it up," the humanitarian messenger said.

The Lingsi Realm Master did not reply, but fell into deep thought.

Indeed, this magic weapon assembly line is enough for their next expansion.

However, as a fifth-grade person, she is not stupid. On the contrary, she can clearly know the outcome after accepting this machine.

The ending is that in order to meet the raw materials for the operation of this machine, she must launch an expedition to capture a large number of worlds and put them into magic weapons.

This small ball, at full power, can tear apart a hundred worlds in one day, turning all the world's resources and all life into a magic weapon of homogeneity.

With the support of this thing, the expedition will most likely be successful.

Because the resources she plundered can be quickly converted into combat power through the magic weapon assembly line, so that everyone can be equipped with magic weapons that match the level, and can easily create an invincible iron army. As long as they do not provoke the same fifth-grade world, then This kind of predatory war is a pure positive cycle.

It's like...humane.

This is the delicious fruit thrown by the humanitarian envoy.

If her world hadn't been in the middle of a whirlpool of war between humans and witches at this moment, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to taste such delicious bait until her death.

Yes, even if it's bait, it's too delicious to pass up.

But...they followed the witchcraft thousands of years ago.

Although there is a lot of confusion now, if you abandon the Taoist tradition, let alone revenge or anything like that, the shamans and Taoists may not retaliate. After all, their external image is generally more Buddhist, and they only talk about the practice of skills and their past Taoism. The foundation needs to be reshaped.

However, this kind of reshaping, because of the preparations made over the past few thousand years, actually seems...not so unbearable.

But making a decision now seems too...cheap.

Therefore, the Lord of the Lingsi Realm said: "The envoy... I still hope to allow me to think about it."

"Well, just put the things here. The world leader will think about it slowly, but there are not many worlds. After all, the envoy of the witchcraft has also come, and he comes with great fanfare. He is not as low-key as me." The humane messenger smiled, Then leave.

He's really low-key.

So low-key... He actually came here a few years ago, but with a little trick, he pushed the spiritual silk world towards the cliff of Dao Zheng.

It was originally planned to keep a low profile until the ideological trend in the Lingsi world fell and changed. It is very likely that no one in the Lingsi world would notice the subtle changes until the complete change.

Unfortunately, at this time, the sorcerer envoy openly displayed his talisman to indicate his arrival, so there was no choice but to show up and speed up a little.

But the other party seemed a little confused. He showed up with great fanfare and then hid again. Could it be that he was really practicing? That's really... quite funny.

————————

Regardless of what happened here, after the Lingsi Realm Master left, he quickly returned to his office.

Being a world leader is not an easy job, and she has to be responsible for handling a lot of things. She didn't want to take these things home, so she simply set up an office to deal with them.

In fact, she only needs to deal with it once every six months. After all, small things can be handled by her subordinates, and she only needs to make some important decisions.

But during this period, what happened was always a major event, and she had to decide everything personally to determine the future pattern of the world, which also put a lot of pressure on her.

There is no way. In fact, for them, people or witches are not important at all.

The Lingsi World only follows them in name. In fact... what dominates the Lingsi World is not the supreme Tao at all, but the 'Worldly Tao'.

That's right, even the fifth-grade world is just drifting with the world in the end. They still regard survival as their highest goal. The fifth-grade world is said to be so powerful, but how can they not be affected by the world outside this vast territory? ?

Live and live better, this is their entire goal.

For people outside the region, only by risking their chance of survival, or even directly leaving their own civilization and world, risking their lives to wander, can they have a chance to follow the path.

Zhudao, for some primitive indigenous worlds, is even simpler. After all, there are no outsiders in a closed world. There are always a group of top beings who have no worries about survival. They can chase Dao as much as they want, and finally break through the barriers of their own world and come to outside the territory. They generally maintain this momentum for a while.

Maybe some will eventually succumb to the world, but there are also a lot of people who can stick to their own way.

But for those so-called "enlightened" worlds such as the spiritual silk world, they had no chance to pursue their own path from the beginning. They were already in this world from the beginning. For them, no matter what, As you climb up, you will easily be chased and intercepted by the pressure of survival, such as the problem faced by the Lingsi Realm Master at the moment.

There is no other way. It is a good thing to follow the road, but you must also live.

Or simply give up on your own civilization, just like Li Shiwei's captain, break away and be alone, then the pressure of survival will be less.

But... the Spirit Silk Realm Master can't do it. She is the Realm Master. If she is gone, what will happen to civilization?

"Sigh..." She sighed and picked up a new report.

Um? Is new technology coming? Is there any hope of solving the world’s resource depletion problem?
