Tang En, who received the news from Angus, immediately rushed to the Magic Engineering Institute. At this moment, a group of people in the institute were gathering together, staring at a glass bottle in his hand and looking at it.

Tang En, who arrived excitedly, pushed away the crowd and asked, "How is it?"

“Very good!”

Angus turned around and saw him, grinned, shook the glass bottle in his hand, and the light green liquid inside swayed gently: "After reading the detailed records, I tried to extract some."

“How difficult?”

"It's not very high, the success rate will be very high after a few failures."

After pausing, Angus said again: "I feel that if I prepare to refine the array in advance, a slightly trained alchemy apprentice can basically be refined, and the success rate is acceptable."

Tang En's eyes lit up: "Where is the cost?"

"That's what we're going to say next."

Angus smiled and said, "Originally, according to the recipe recorded by Hornheim, the material cost of a bottle of plant growth catalytic liquid is about two gold coins. However, after looking at the recipe, I found that one of the reactions I happened to use before, and I also found an improved version of the optimized formula. If I use my improved recipe, the cost can be saved to less than one gold coins."

"A gold coin?"

This price may sound inexpensive, but don’t forget that this is just a bottle of price. Tang En frowned slightly: “How much is a bottle of catalytic liquid enough to use?”

"It's hard to say, this involves a very complicated formula."

Angus spread his hands: "Although the usage and effect of this catalytic liquid are increasing, there is an effective threshold. If it is approached, it is useless even if it is spread more. According to Hornheim's statistics, a bottle of catalytic liquid can be catalyzed after being diluted... Well, if it is converted into an Ellington unit, it will be almost 2,300 square meters of farmland."

A bottle of catalytic liquid and one gold coin, catalyzing more than 2,300 square meters, is barely acceptable.

Although it costs a lot of gold coins to ripen a large number of plants, the yield of grain has increased, which is the most important thing.

Tang En raised his head and said, "I need a detailed refining process."

“It’s all here.”

Angus dispersed the others, pointed to the table behind him and said, "I brought all the materials and equipment needed to refine the catalytic liquid. This is a complete set of equipment."

After checking, Don En asked Angus to refine a catalytic liquid himself, and he recorded all the steps involved in the transformation and reaction of substances, especially the steps of raw material processing and extraction, which is very important for his next plan.

"…Then the last step, after thoroughly mixing the two melts into the refining array, wait for natural cooling to complete."

Angus placed the glass bottle on the shelf next to it, which contained the semi-finished catalytic liquid waiting to cool.

Tang En stared at the information he recorded, and his mind was spinning rapidly.

"What's wrong? What's the question?"

"No, I'm thinking about how to produce on a large scale."

Tang En knocked on the table and pointed to the raw materials on the notebook and said: "The cost of ice mist grass and blood-wailing vine occupies a large part of the cost price. If people can be hired to plant in large quantities, the cost can be further compressed."

Angus shook his head: "These two herbs have very strict requirements on the growth environment. They can only hire people to cultivate them in small quantities. It is difficult to grow them like growing vegetables."

"If you want to find a way to meet their requirements in the growth environment."

Tang En smiled very brightly. If you want to talk about something, who dares to say first when the Chinese say second?

"You mean...thing like something like a greenhouse in the suburbs?"

Angus immediately became anxious and couldn't help but be amazed: "If you can use that technology to achieve large-scale cultivation, you may have solved a huge problem."

"Believe me, there must be no problem."

Tang En knocked on the table and said, "The problem of raw materials has been solved, so the next problem is the problem of refining... When I was watching you prepare the melt, I observed the amount of raw materials, but this is not enough. If we want to produce large-scale industrial production, we need more accurate values."

"You mean?"

"After extracting the active ingredients of the raw material, quantifying it, it is expressed by volume when it is a liquid, and it is a solid powder, it is expressed by weight."

Tang En said decisively: "Only in this way can we ensure that we will succeed in every configuration process, and at the same time, we can allow the artificial soul to complete the refining work accurately."

“Quantitization…this is a fresh concept.”

In the past, alchemists basically used repeated experiments to improve their proficiency when conducting experiments. However, without auxiliary tools, even alchemists with very high proficiency will fail. Perhaps someone once developed a set of weight and measure auxiliary tools, but everything disappeared with the Second Chaos Invasion War, the progress of civilization was defeated back to its original form, and everything began to develop again from scratch.

"I think you need thermometers, measuring cylinders, beakers, scale droppers and pipettes."

"What is that?"

“That’s all.”

Tang En snapped his fingers. All the crystal vessels he prepared for refining medicines before appeared on the table: "I think you will learn how to use them soon. Now your task is to further extract and purify the raw materials used in the experiment, separate the active ingredients separately, prepare more, and then count the amount required for refining. This is very important."

The importance of plant growth catalytic fluid to the development and progress of the entire society is unquestionable. This magical thing may only appear in a magical world like Plandal. If it were on Earth, it would probably be possible that the grain futures market would collapse in minutes after the news was made public.

Angus surrendered helplessly: "Okay, okay, I owe you what I owe you, can I get it done before tomorrow?"

"As soon as possible, I will design an automated production line based on the subsequent refining steps. After the data on your side is determined, the artificial soul can be modified and the initial production can be started directly."

Although the ice mist grass and blood-crying vine have not been cultivated yet and have to be purchased on the market, the strategic significance of plant growth catalytic liquid is too great. It can bring more food in one day as soon as possible, and Tang En can no longer wait.

When Tang En was about to leave, he suddenly asked, "By the way, don't just talk about the plant growth catalyst liquid. Have you forgotten your serious business in Hornheim?"

"Of course not."

Angus' face turned up and said, "I have begun to analyze the technology left by Hornheim. Believe me, and give me a while, I can thoroughly understand the technology in the King's Staff. Then I will be more confident if I want to repair it."

"Okay, after the plant growth catalytic solution is solved, you can concentrate on solving this problem."

After saying that, Tang En hurried back to the lord's mansion: "Fiona!"

"explain."

"I need you to buy some herbs in large quantities."

"Medical Herb?"

Fiona stopped writing and looked up and asked, "Isn't there enough medicinal materials to refine the goddess' blood?"

"It's not the goddess' blood, it's the catalytic fluid of plant growth."

Tang En shook his head and put a list in front of her and said, "This is a list of raw materials. Except for the slightly more expensive prices of Ice Mist Grass and Blood Crying Vine, the other herbs are not too expensive. I will charge me as much as I will do in the market. As long as the price fluctuates no more than 30%, eat them all."

Fiona looked at the list roughly and found that most of them were commonly used herbs, which were not expensive, and nodded: "I understand, let Owen take charge of this matter immediately."

Irving was the former owner of the Potion House of Fort Caspami. Later, he moved to Ellington. Later, he simply joined the Tang Chamber of Commerce and became a member of the Tang Chamber of Commerce. Now he is also a veteran employee of Tang En. Compared to the past, his status and income are simply too high.

"Not only the acquisition, I also need a group of people to go to the greenhouse to plant ice fog grass and blood-crying vines."

Tang En reminded Fiona: "I have just studied the characteristics of these two herbs. They can completely simulate their living environment in the greenhouse and carry out large-scale planting. The consumption of these two herbs will be very large in the future, so it is best to industrialize the planting."

“We don’t have that many people to use.”

Fiona was helpless: "If it weren't for the help of Yustisa, we might have been stuck in the bus project now."

Tang En frowned and said decisively: "We cannot contract all products from beginning to end. Since our staff is too busy, we will outsource these projects with relatively low profits and allow those who want to make money."

"contract?"

"Yes, we are responsible for teaching the technology, and then they contracted it down, and we bought the things we planted at the contract price."

Tang En explained: "Although it seems to increase our production costs, if you think about it, doing so not only reduces our labor cost expenditure, but also effectively promotes market-oriented competition. When there are more people growing, the raw materials will naturally be in short supply. Only we have mastered the technology of mass production of plant growth catalytic fluid, and they can only sell it to us without fear of technology leakage."

“Sounds very feasible.”

After hearing Tang En's explanation, Fiona immediately became interested. If Tang En really said that, many similar projects could be subcontracted in the contract system. The Tang Chamber of Commerce can ensure that their status is unshakable as long as they pinch the most critical finished product technology.

"Of course it's feasible, otherwise what do you think I'm promoting the industrial reform of the Irrus Empire?"

Tangen spread his hands: "Ellington's population is seriously checking and balancing our development. We need to become a product output base, rather than a raw material production base. After the production process is split, the parts are handed over to others to complete, and finally gather in Ellington for assembly."

The ultimate goal of this economic form is to leave all production to others, and they are only responsible for setting product standards so that they can get the bulk of product profits.
