1779 Episode 1765: Your Majesty's Direct Organizational Meeting. 5 (I will work hard to raise the price to everyone in Steno Technologies.

"What do you think of First Lab?

Olcott asks Alderson what King Azpearl thinks.

"As a first laboratory... I certainly want a new material for its performance.

And anyway, we're going to do research.

I wonder if it would be a waste of time to develop the same thing from scratch as a result of starting research.

But I can't afford to compensate First Nations alone.

In return, you can disclose the research results of the materials to the development workshop.

Alderson says worried.

"Hmm... what about the second institute?

"This workshop will be responsible for prototyping the equipment that was conceived in the Second Laboratory.

In the future, there may be a small number of products produced when First Laboratory prototypes are developed and commercialized, but we will certainly be responsible for this.

However, since it is a workshop where you can make materials, you can confirm the results of the Daiichi Laboratory on the components.

There is a non-disclosure agreement around here, so I think it is okay to spill it.

I cannot buy it at the second laboratory because it is as difficult to fund it as the first laboratory.

At present, it is best to keep the formula exclusive in the state, use it for development in only three laboratories, and conclude contracts with individual workshops to prevent the leakage of information when it becomes a product.

The exception is the continuation of the right of use in this workshop.

At least it is needed for the production of pocket watches.

"Hmm... Takeo, Ste... do you have a confidentiality obligation to the workshop?

King Azpar asks.

"The current confidentiality obligation is only what I asked for.

I do not have permission to keep this material secret.

It may not be necessary to sell it if the funds become difficult, but that's not what we're talking about so far.

"Hmm... if you're going to do it, you'd better get your hands on it.

What do you think of the amount?

"It is the right to formulate and sell products that are commercialized.

I don't know the exact price.

Well, including being a material for all magicians... it's not too cheap or too expensive.

In a way, it seems that this workshop will allow us to continue our research on new materials.

"Sure.

It is not necessarily necessary to study materials in the laboratory alone, and there is a possibility that new materials will be developed in line with practical use because products are being made.

All right, Alderson, Takeo, let's get that new material from the monopoly office.

For the time being, I only use it in the lab, with the exception of products from the workshop.

The purchase price... I'll try my best, and Takeo will try his best to convince the workshop.

Try not to tell the other shop the formula until the purchase price and the sales contract are complete.

"Don't be too cheap.

Even if you persuade him, he won't be convinced unless he presents it to you fairly well.

"Okay.

I'll have the monopoly meet you later.

I will try to make a contract early so Alderson can use it for research as soon as the ingredients are known, and I expect results.

"Yes, we strive to meet your expectations.

Alderson lowered his head.

"Well... you seem to be getting together.

Is there anything else?

Yes.

Is it necessary to standardize the equipment of the Second Laboratory?

Neil raises his hand to Orcott's words.

"What do you think of the Second Institute?

Yes.

At present, I believe that the absence of standards within the Kingdom of Azpal is a problem in itself.

In the first place, the armor used by the soldiers... well, the sword is easy to understand.

I don't mind a short sword, but...

The length from the tip of the sword to the pattern, the length of the pattern itself, the thickness of the sword, the overall weight, the placement of the center of gravity... Why is it all up to the craftsman?

No, I know it's personal, but I also know that the craftsmanship is different.

But... should there be a minimum sword?

If you know this sword as the minimum shortsword in any village or town, you can go out of your way to buy it without placing an order.

And if you get a sword of the same specification every time, you won't need much time to get used to it.

If you want something that suits you, you can make it bespoke.

Conversely, if you are not interested in making a special order, there are odd stories, and it may be cheaper to use a minimum performance sword while replacing it immediately.

Therefore, I would like to formulate a minimum standard rather than a unified standard.

Otherwise it is a bespoke product, so I think it should be made individually.

Takeo was going to say it.

"Takeo, isn't that... making a lot of stuff?

King Azpar asks.

"That's not true.

As a result, it may be made in large quantities, but as it stands, there is no market trend.

However, if the standards of swords, armor, etc. are shown, the buyer will know what suits him, and the producer will also be easy to get a special order, and I think it is easy to attach a price for a reason if it is out of the standard.

The price for a reason?

Materials?

"Materials are also good.

For example, if the standard specification short sword is 2 silver coins and the item placed in the store is 1 gold coin, it is probably the reason why the material is good or the sharpness is good.

Conversely, a single silver coin is likely to be a bad item and may not have passed any standards.

Create standards for good and bad things.

I think this is important.

"Hmm... why can't I make it in King's Landing?

It seems like it could be done in King's Landing.

"King's Capital has a higher basic salary than any other region, whether it's a knight or a soldier.

Does a local workshop with only rich people create minimum standards?

Do you know how different the salaries of the soldiers here are compared to those of the Earl of Elvis soldiers?

Almost all regions are bad if priced according to King's Landing standards.

Besides... even if the Workshop, which is not the front line (...), makes a minimum sword.

It is unclear whether it is in line with practical use.

"... I see.

Earl Elvis has had the most combat experience (...) in recent years.

Besides, if we leave it to the Takeo and the others, we'll be able to set a good standard.

"I've been doing mock fights with Alice from time to time.

There are dragons (sturdy subordinates) if you like, so you can have enough combat experience in simulated battles.

I don't need any testing or verification.

That's what Takeo says.

Takeo didn't know that his subordinates in the neighborhood and behind him were getting sloppy.
