Among the various products sold by the Haichao Chamber of Commerce, two types of products are the most popular. They have made great contributions to the expansion of the Haichao Chamber of Commerce.

The first category is rune magic weapons.

In the entire human world, no one can refuse rune magic weapons.

Small commodities such as magic stone lighters and magic stone lamps, as large as "Benz" and "BMW" two-wheeled magic cars, or higher-end and more expensive magic cars, are very popular in the major human kingdoms.

Even if they hate the Church of the Father God in the Thousand Lakes Republic, there are still many faculty members who are quietly using the rune magic weapons sold by the Haichao Chamber of Commerce, and there are even high-level faculty members such as bishops.

The second category is potions.

This answer is a bit unexpected.

Because the potion is a "special" commodity in another world, after thousands of years of research, potionists have developed and used it quite thoroughly, and Hai Chao Ling does not have much advantage in this regard.

Before the rise of Hai Chao Ling, there were many nobles and chambers of commerce who relied on potions for profit in the human world.

For example, the Castro family where Allietty belongs.

The reason why this family can climb to the high position of the duke is precisely because they have mastered several unique and extremely useful potions, such as the blood potion of the gods.

Relying on large-scale cultivation of magic plants and making potions, the Castro family obtained an endless supply of Kinnar, which allowed them to have sufficient financial resources to cultivate family power and establish a wide network of relationships among the noble circles. With the efforts of several generations of family members, the Castro family finally elevated the title to duke.

However, the so-called "large scale", compared with Haichaoling's Mozhi Research Institute, is not even worthy of carrying shoes.

The large potion chambers of other worlds, when cultivating a single magic plant, generally plant hundreds of plants, and the small potion chambers even only have dozens of pitiful ones.

It's not that they don't want to grow more, but that Mozhi Quante is a "freak" who eats meat and drinks blood. The productivity of the alien world is so low that even the rich potion chamber cannot buy enough. Fresh blood food, which greatly limits the scale of cultivation.

If any chamber of commerce can plant 1,000 magic plants, then it can definitely be regarded as a giant crocodile, with a decisive influence in the potion industry.

However, this restriction does not hold for the sea tide.

Thanks to the advanced mechanized fishing, it is so easy for the sea tide collar to obtain fresh blood food.

The fishing fleet under the Fisheries Department can catch hundreds of tons or even more than 1,000 tons of marine fish in one trip.

This greatly boosted the development of Haichaoling in the potion industry.

When the Magic Plant Research Institute grows magic plants, there are often an astonishing tens of thousands of plants of one type.

Massive magic plant is equivalent to massive potion.

As a result, the Haichao Chamber of Commerce began to sell common potions in large quantities by means of dumping.

For example, the "night vision potion" that allows people to see things at night, the price sold by the Haichao Chamber of Commerce is even lower than the cost of most potion chambers.

Then, after many handicrafts, the destroyer of the industry, the Haichao Chamber of Commerce, ran a large number of potions chambers into bankruptcy.

The few surviving potion commerce guilds all possess unique potions in order to survive.

However, in the foreseeable future, as more and more types of magic plants are planted by the Magic Plant Research Institute, it is only a matter of time before the bankruptcy of this part of the chamber of commerce.

...

Looking at the prestigious name of the Potions Research Institute, Arrietty will naturally not let go of the opportunity to visit it.

As soon as she stepped into this prestigious research institution, the Duchess' eyes were immediately attracted by several huge buildings.

"Oh my god... they are so beautiful..."

These buildings are quite large in scale, covering an area of ​​more than 5,000 square meters and a height of nearly 20 meters. Their walls are not masonry, but transparent glass.

And, this is a whole piece of glass!

Whether it is a huge roof or a wall of the same size, they are all connected together, and there is no gap in sight.

From a distance, they are like the legendary crystal palace.

Through the glass, you can see the supporting steel frame and the magic plants planted indoors.

"It's unbelievable... how did you do it?"

Arrietty turned her head and asked Scarlett "Three No Little Lolita", who is also the director of the Mozhi Institute and the lover of Madame Madame.

No, it should be called Sanwu Da Lolita.

More than two years have passed, and Scarlett is no longer the flat girl of the year, but a slim girl.

This time, Arrietty visited the Magic Plant Research Institute, and Madame Madame was not able to do so, so she sent her lover to receive the Duchess.

(For Scarlett’s introduction, see Chapter 481)

Scarlett replied blankly:

"It's just an ordinary glass greenhouse for cultivating magic plants, it's nothing..."

Although Scarlett's tone did not fluctuate in any way, as a woman, Arrietty was keenly aware of the other's indifference and a touch of hostility.

This reminded her of a certain rumor.

It is said that this young talented potionist, a few years ago, pleaded with someone who killed the Black Orc, the Upright, and the Flame King, to avenge her father. In exchange, she was willing to marry Mianxia.

(For related introduction, see Chapter 490)

When Arrietty heard this story, she treated it as a joke.

It now seems that this is likely to be a real thing, otherwise Scarlett would not be hostile.

Arrietty thought of inexplicable thoughts in her mind, and said quietly:

"Hey, if this is just a ‘normal’ glass greenhouse, then all the other glass greenhouses in the world can only be called glass toys..."

When speaking of the word "normal", she deliberately strengthened her tone.

After a pause, Arrietty pointed to the integrated glass again and asked curiously:

"By the way, Miss Scarlett, can you tell me how this super huge piece of glass was made? As far as I know, the glass factory's "float process" can only produce at most lengths. More than 5 meters of glass..."

"Of course it's because Lord Lord..."

San Wu Da Lolita continued to reply blankly.

Alietti clearly saw that when Scarlett said the words "Lord Lord, there was a glimmer of brilliance in the eyes that had not fluctuated."

"Damn Renault..."

She cursed secretly.

"Not even the little girl..."

But Allietty smiled more and more peacefully on her face:

"Oh? What did Lord Lord do?"

Scarlett replied coldly:

"When the Mozhi Institute was first established, it ordered a large number of large-size flat glass from the glass processing factory in the territory... and planned to assemble them to build a glass greenhouse... Later, during the construction process, Lord Lord passed by accidentally. He shot it himself and welded all the flat glass into a whole..."

"With the ability of Lord Lord, it is really easy to do this..."

Arrietty nodded clearly and said:

"Then, let's go and take a look inside the glass greenhouse. I've long wanted to see how the famous Potions Research Institute grows magic plants..."

...

The moment he entered the glass greenhouse, Allietty felt only a warmth rushing toward her face.

If you want to better cultivate magic plants, greenhouses are a must.

Although magic plants generally have strong vitality and can tolerate fairly low temperatures, in this case, they will stop growing.

If the temperature is too low, they will consume too much energy, leading to poor growth and even "underdevelopment".

Before Haichao Chamber of Commerce brought cheap glass to other worlds, glass greenhouses were definitely a luxury item. Even large potions chambers with rich financial resources could only afford the cost of small greenhouses for the use of certain rare magic plants.

As for common magic plants, either let them be invaded by low temperature and their growth stagnates, or the most troublesome method is to let them receive light during the day, and then move them into a charcoal-heated room at night.

After the advent of cheap glass, many potions chambers of commerce cheered for a while, and successively placed large orders with the Haichao Chamber of Commerce, ordering large-size glass, and the Haichao Chamber of Commerce made a fortune.

However, the good times did not last long.

After the horrific "dumping laws" were introduced by the sea tide merchants, the vast majority of greenhouses established during this boom no longer plant magic plants, but were transformed into gardens or used to grow off-season vegetables.

Yes, Haichao Chamber of Commerce is not very interested in off-season vegetables, and some small and medium-sized chambers of commerce took the opportunity to enter this field.

In the greenhouse, Arrietty found that everything in front of her was completely different from what she had imagined.

In this huge space, she did not see the cultivated ridges, and there was no dirt on the ground. Instead, there was a layer of cement ground.

The greenhouse was filled with half-person-height glass jars. They were neatly arranged, there were at least thousands of them. The glass jars were filled with a light red liquid, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

In each glass jar, there is a purple magic plant soaked.

Through the transparent glass, every tiny root and whisker is fully visible. The stem of the magic plant protrudes from the mouth of the jar. The wide purple leaves completely cover the stem, turning the greenhouse into a purple ocean.

"Oh my god, there is no soil...Will Mozhi die?"

Allietty was stunned.

The planting method in the glass greenhouse completely subverted her inherent concept.

"Of course not." Scarlett said faintly, "This is called'soilless cultivation.' This is a brilliant idea proposed by the lord... At the beginning, my teacher, Ms. Yuri, also thought it was not Possible things..."

There was a little more inexplicable meaning in Da Lolita's voice.

"However, Darcy and I, another student of the teacher, took time out to do many experiments...The results of the experiments showed that soilless cultivation is a completely feasible solution, and it is not inferior to soil cultivation at all..."

"According to Lord Lord, soilless cultivation is more conducive to the absorption of nutrient elements. As long as the nutrient ratio is adjusted, the magic plant grows faster and better... After a lot of experiments, we have verified Lord Lord's theory..."

Having said that, Da Lolita's expression became more and more proud.

"In addition, during the experiment, we have a deeper understanding of the nutritional elements that most magic plants need to grow, and at the same time we have mastered the precise ratio of nutritional elements."

"After two years of research, our soilless cultivation technology has become more and more mature... For some common magic plants, the Magic Plant Research Institute uses soilless cultivation, and the time required to mature them is compared with traditional planting methods. , Shortened by about 20% on average."

"So far, our most successful example is the cultivation of the magic plant'Moon Demon Grass' that refines the'sleeping potion'... The traditional cultivation method takes more than 15 months, and our soilless cultivation only requires 5 months..."

"what?"

Ali Eddie's mouth grew suddenly.

The Castro family she belongs to has grown magic plants all the year round. She knows better than anyone how amazing this amazing data is.

Da Lolita glanced at the other party without a trace, and said confidently:

"I will definitely become Lord Lord's best helper, refining more and better potions for him... I promised Lord Lord before that I will refine the legendary'Spiritual Power Potions' in the future."

"Now that my research has gotten a little bit of eyebrows, I believe it will not be too far from the birth of the world's first ‘psychic potion’..."

Alietti looked at this beautiful girl who had just had a little feminine appearance, and suddenly had an urge to laugh.

With her rich experience, of course, she understands what the other party is saying and what she said, but in fact they are only demonstrating vaguely.

"The best helper", "magic potion of mental power" and so on are just to express one point-I am better than you! I am more useful to Lord Lord!

Arrietty snorted imperceptibly.

"Innocent girl!"

"Do you think it's'useful' for Lord Lord, just to do things for him? You are still too young...you don't know men at all..."

She straightened up her chest, and the swing of her waist was greater when she walked.

However, there was still a deep bit of resentment in her heart.

If the Duchess has been to the earth, she will surely sing this lyrics-how many good sisters do you have...

as well as,

wQNMLgB, the old lady took a trip to the Mozhi Institute, and she was able to pop out a little girl with no hair, trying to steal a man from her old lady. Is there any reason for this?

...

"Ms. Alietti, the experiment you are going to see below is a very important secret of Hai Chao Ling... Since your authority is extremely high, you have the right to watch... But please don't tell anyone..."

Da Lolita said solemnly.

"I understand!" Arrietty nodded and said to the communicator near her ear, "I have received the most professional confidentiality training. I will not say anything that shouldn't be said..."

The two girls, one big and one small, wearing thick fully enclosed protective clothing, while talking through the magic communication headset, while walking quickly through a long stone passage.

On the surface of the stone walls on both sides of the passage, a magic stone lamp was hung at intervals. As the two of them moved forward, the shadows were projected on the stone walls and changed constantly.

From this posture alone, Arrietty immediately judged that the confidentiality level of this laboratory must be very high, and the test is very likely to be quite dangerous.

In the event of an accident, I am afraid that this extremely long passage will be closed for the first time, and the people stranded in the laboratory will be directly abandoned.

The location where the two of them are now is not the Magic Plant Research Institute on Odin Island, but a small island about 50 kilometers away from Odin Island.

This small island has no name, only a code-w5-11.

The "w5" in the code "w5-11" refers to the hazard level of the test item.

Since the tragedy in the Rune Research Institute, according to Renault's orders, all projects in the research and development system have begun to formally implement a grading system.

According to the different risk levels of the project, it is divided into 5 levels, from the lowest level w1 to the highest level w5.

Any project recognized as w5 must have one or more of the following typical characteristics:

Extremely lethal!

Highly infectious!

Extremely high variability!

Extremely destructive!

These projects were all arranged on remote uninhabited islands, and the laboratories were deliberately built underground, and numerous safety measures were set up.

In the event of a serious accident, the loss can be reduced to a minimum.

The "11" in the code "w5-11" refers to the sequence of items.

That is, this is the 11th item in the w5 level.

In other words, before that, there were 10 equally dangerous projects.
