Chapter 207 Botany Department Research Group
Locke said: "This... should consume a lot of resources."
Hip "Besides, I don't know much about this aspect."
Captain Jack nodded. "That's right."
Senior Zach put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth with a napkin, "It's not as complicated as Locke thinks. I understand this. I am responsible for this aspect of the college's work, so I know some situations."
"If the project you are working on is very popular, these research groups will even come to you and give you money to complete the project. Of course, in that case, your voice in this area will be much weaker."
Locke took a sip of the witch's watermelon juice and frowned. "Looking for it on your own initiative?"
"If the project does not go well, it may cost 20,000 to 30,000 magic stones, depending on the scientific research level of the research team you are looking for. A mature research team should be able to compress the funds for developing a new supporting plant spell to about 10,000 magic stones."
Locke nodded slightly while listening. At the same time, he sighed in his heart. It really cost money to find someone to develop a set of matching plant spells.
Ten thousand magic stones is a lot.
Had it not been for the custom-made magic plant competition and the curse of the magic plant, I would not have developed a defensive magic plant by coincidence that required the development of new plant-based supporting spells.
Zach said to Captains Locke and Jack: "These magic stones are funded by individuals, and the cost is indeed quite high."
"But the academy has a lot of support for this field and has set up special funds to support it. Not only that, the White Wizard Association can also set up corresponding funds, which can be applied by these research groups."
"Therefore, if the project you are working on is really popular, you can find those research groups to develop new plant spells without spending a penny." You can also receive rewards from funds set up by other private circle wizards to attract investment and then use it to develop the project in your hand." Senior Zach took a sip of the witch's watermelon juice and said: "In this way, not only will they not lose money, but they will even make a profit."
"Furthermore, developing a popular project will usually improve the reputation of that research group. It will be much easier for them to attract horizontal and vertical funds in the future."
Senior Zach further explained: "This is equivalent to borrowing the project in your hand, making a project application, and attracting investment and reputation for them."
"This is how it is in the academy. A good project will have a lot of additional value. To be honest, for students like Locke who come up with their own projects, ordinary wizard teachers will attach great importance to you and will not let you go."
Locke nodded slightly after hearing this. "I see."
Vertical funds are the funds distributed by the academy and the White Wizard Association.
Horizontal funds are funds invested by private wizards and commercial markets like Chimera Bazaar.
Locke has indeed heard before that the research groups in major laboratories compete for the most funds every day.
After all, funds equal magic resources. The more magic resources there are, the faster the project can be developed.
This thing is like a snowball.
After you have done many projects, it will become easier to apply for funds. Therefore, how to attract horizontal and vertical funds for your own research group's projects is a skill that research groups in major laboratories attach great importance to.
An official wizard usually has several research groups under his command.
But his teacher, Sophia Witch, has not yet set up a research group to study something.
Hence Locke's situation is very rare. He has already become a first-class wizard apprentice, but he did not participate in a research group. Generally, a first-class wizard apprentice who is valued by the formal wizard mentor is likely to lead one or even more research groups.
Locke once again asked a key question. "Senior Zach, what you said is very good. But I'm afraid it won't be easy for the project I'm working on to develop new spells to be recognized as a popular project."
"Normally, what would happen if the project I'm working on would be recognized as a popular project?"
Captain Jack also looked at Zach.
Senior Zach smiled and said: "It's actually not difficult. For example, if your Eye of Perseus lichen wins the competition, it will be a popular project." Some research groups will come to you and discuss funding issues with you. "
Zach thought: "From my experience, if it is the winner of the custom magic plant competition, it usually does not cost a penny. You can borrow money from the academy and the association to find the most famous research group to help you develop a matching plant magic."
"Of course, in this case, the plant magic developed belongs to the research group, college, or even the association. You also have the right to use and learn, but this is enough. Anyway, Locke, you only need to sell magic plants."
"This will make it easier for you to sell it."
"A powerful magic plant can make a large number of people sell. A lot of people have been making a living from this for a long time. For example, Qingmiao Studio’s old heirloom project [Gear Iron Thorn] "If you can only get the top three, then I guess you still have to pay a part of the money, about four to five thousand." Zach said: "But you can also become the sponsor of that research group and have certain rights to participate in the development progress of that research group."
"You are also one of the owners of the developed spells."
"You are also one of the owners of the developed spells."
"It is really difficult to be recognized as a popular project under other circumstances."
"Zac said to Locke: "So, Locke, now it is your Eye of Perseus lichen, it is best to win the championship, and the bottom line is the top three."
"Otherwise, it will be very troublesome later. Spending more resources, you still can't find a good research team to develop supporting spells for magic plants. "Zac said very experiencedly: "The difference is very big."
"The gap between some magic plants is not so big at all, but because the level of the research groups that develop supporting plant spells is different, the quality of the supporting spells they develop is different, which leads to a huge difference in the future treatment of the two magic plants."
Locke nodded, he understood.
Hence, the ranking results of the customized magic plant competition are indeed the key. No wonder the major studios care so much.
Captain Jack looked at Locke and comforted him: "Don't worry, if this is the case, then at least our team will try our best to endorse your work, Locke Breeder."
"This is indeed a good thing."
He quickly signed the contract.
Locke sold it to him for 100 magic stones per Eye of Perseus lichen.
This is the average price of defensive magic plants of the Eye of Perseus Lichen level in the market.
The reason why magic plants like Big Green Leaf Banana are very expensive in the market is because they are rare magic plants.
The reason why the price is slightly higher is that it is rare, not because its value is really at the level of 500 magic stones.
Captain Zach took out 1,000 magic stones from his astral ring, and Locke was planning to send his tauren servant to deliver ten defensive magic plants directly to the [Team Camp] of Captain Zach’s combat team this afternoon.
After Locke greeted the two of them, he left the witch kitchen.
The matter of Perseus' Lichen Eye has been settled, and now he has to return to his laboratory quickly.
I have been cultivating the bloodline of a three-eyed tiger-eyed cat for almost two days on the operating table of a simple laboratory. I don’t know how it is now and whether it can be used.
