"call-"
Xu Yi breathed out gently, and a cloud of white mist instantly condensed in the air.
This winter is colder than previous years.
In the past, at the beginning of every new year, most other countries on the Sainz continent would fall into the severe cold of winter. For countries like the Maro Empire, which is located in the north of the continent, the northernmost tip is even completely covered with ice and snow, making it difficult to find human traces.
However, because the Principality of Standing is located in the southwest of the mainland, the climate is warm and humid all year round, and it generally does not get too cold even in winter.
Not to mention that there is no snow at all, and there is almost no situation where your breath turns into cold mist like now.
Looking up at the vast endless sea in the distance, Xu Yi frowned slightly.
The Northern Transport Fleet, which ends in the Malo Empire, set off last month. According to the scheduled plan, it will stop in several coastal countries along the way, so it will not arrive in the Malo Empire until the beginning of next year.
The reason why this trip is so long is mainly to deepen exchanges with several countries along the way, and at the same time further estimate and determine their conditions for promoting the magic industry system, so I will stay in several countries for at least a month. time.
According to the plan, the fleet should now be stopping in the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj, north of the Kingdom of Sark.
Judging from past experience, the sea areas of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj will not freeze during this season, but this winter is obviously colder than in previous years, so maybe the sea areas of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj will be even colder now, and maybe it will As a result, it froze, thus delaying the northern transport fleet's journey.
But then I thought about it. So far, the Chamber of Commerce Headquarters has not received any unusual reports about the Northern Transport Fleet's travel being blocked. That proves that at least they are doing well so far. Nothing went wrong.
What really worries Xu Yi is the ocean exploration fleet that he doesn't even know where he is now.
Nearly half a year has passed since the departure of this ocean-going exploration fleet. According to the sailing speed of the ocean-going exploration fleet, it has already reached tens of thousands of kilometers away. Naturally, it is impossible to send back communications at any time to maintain contact.
Although the conditions for the ocean-going fleet far exceed those of Magellan's fleet sailing around the world on Earth, any accident may happen on the vast and endless sea, and no matter how good the conditions are, they cannot be completely avoided.
And because there is currently a lack of any communication conditions. So even if Xu Yi was worried, he had no choice but to leave it to fate.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but look up at the sky above his head.
On Earth, due to the invention and promotion of communication satellite technology, people on Earth can finally conduct real ultra-long-distance communications and even direct positioning through satellite communications.
If it is a fleet on Earth, it only needs to be equipped with a satellite positioning system, and others can easily get in touch with them without worrying.
And in this Sainz continent. Not to mention ultra-long-distance communication exceeding tens of thousands of kilometers, even communication exceeding one thousand kilometers. At present, it is only limited to the countries in the southwest corner of the mainland that have been basically covered by the magic signal tower of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
But communication problems on land can also be solved by promoting magic signal towers and building a complete magic communication network, but what about the vast and endless sea
Can something similar to a communication satellite be built on this continent to solve this problem
Xu Yi frowned, went through all the magic knowledge in his mind, and carefully considered whether this possibility was possible.
"Dad, look, look!"
While he was thinking, a clear girl's voice suddenly sounded in front of Xu Yi, interrupting his thoughts.
Xu Yi took a closer look and suddenly showed a happy smile.
"Hey Freya, what do you want me to see?"
Freya is twelve years old this year. Perhaps because of the fusion of Xu Yi, an Oriental gene on earth, her development is slightly later than that of most girls on the continent of Saines, but now she is still She has entered puberty and completed her initial growth. Not only is her height over 1.6 meters, which can be as high as Xu Yi's chin, but her figure has basically grown, and she has completely transformed into a big girl.
In addition, she almost perfectly inherited Steele's appearance. She has clear outlines and beautiful facial features at a young age. She has almost all the advantages and beauty of the mixed-race girls Xu Yi saw on earth before.
Everyone who sees her can't help but praise her, saying that when she grows up, she will never be inferior to Steele's beauty.
"Look at this!" Freya's pretty face was filled with a proud smile, she clenched her right hand into a fist and handed it to Xu Yi.
"Oh? What good things are you hiding for me to see?" Xu Yi stared at her fist with a smile, deliberately thought for a moment, and then lined up his hands. "I know! You must have caught another little bug somewhere, right?"
Freya has been very lively and active since she was a child. When she grows up, she has an extremely cheerful temperament, and sometimes she is even as naughty as a boy.
Normally, little girls would be a little scared when seeing bugs, but she was very courageous and would often catch all kinds of strange bugs and play with them.
Although Xu Yi was very happy that she could be so cheerful and lively, he was speechless that she was so curious that she often played with bugs.
Of course, now he would not dampen Freya's interest in person.
"Hey, this time it's not a little bug." Freya raised her right hand higher. "Dad, watch out!"
After speaking, Freya let go of her fingers, revealing what was in her palm, but it was a small fireball.
Xu Yi had actually sensed the magic power fluctuations in her palms for a long time. He didn't tell the truth and pretended to be surprised: "Wow, Freya, you can actually complete such a small fireball technique. You are making rapid progress!"
Unexpectedly, Freya didn't appreciate it. She curled her lips and snorted softly: "Dad, who told you to look at this little fireball? Please pay attention to sensing the magic elements around you."
"Oh?" Xu Yi glanced at Freya unexpectedly, and after a moment of concentration, he felt a hint of surprise after sensing the magic elements around the small fireball in Freya's palm. "Freya, you actually... completed the stabilization of the magic surrounding space?"
If you use magic power to carefully explore the space around this small fireball, you will find that the small fireball in Freya's palm does not look much different from an ordinary fireball, but the magic space around it is similar to that released by ordinary fireballs. It came out completely different.
Normally, when a magician casts magic, the process is to use the magic power in the body to condense the magic elements in the surrounding space and reorganize them to form magic.
In this way, once magic is formed, it will inevitably affect the surrounding magic space and cause the surrounding magic elements to be unstable.
If it is a particularly powerful magic, it will even indirectly affect the real space by affecting the magic space.
The principle of space magic is actually based on this point.
But the fireball technique Freya is using now is completely different from the ordinary fireball technique.
First of all, the size of this fireball technique is too small, and the overall shape is about the same size as a table tennis ball.
And if you look carefully, you will also find that the color and brightness of this small fireball are extremely uniform, and no part of it looks strange.
This means that Freya has very precise control over the magical elements contained in this fireball technique, far exceeding the level of ordinary magicians.
However, for Xu Yi, what attracted the most attention was that the magic elements around the fireball technique remained as stable as in the normal magic space.
All magic elements flow normally outside this small fireball, as if they are not affected by this fireball at all.
Being able to do this is far more than just precise manipulation of magic elements.
Seeing the surprise on Xu Yi's face, Freya raised her head and said proudly: "How is it? Dad, am I good?"
"Awesome! Very awesome!" Xu Yi gave Freya a thumbs-up gesture of praise without hesitation.
This compliment came from Xu Yi's heart, because Freya was indeed worthy of his praise.
The topic of reducing the impact of condensed magic on the stability of the surrounding magic space was proposed half a year ago at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Magic Research Institute, and the preliminary research has only recently been completed.
In other words, it only took half a year from the beginning of the research to the completion of preliminary research on this topic. Now Freya has been able to successfully cast such a magic that can be used as a standard. It can only be said that her magic talent is really amazing.
According to the judgment of Magister Camilla, he even believed that Freya, the great-granddaughter, might have more magical talent than Xu Yi!
However, for Xu Yi, the so-called magic talent actually does not have a clear definition in the current circle of magicians on this continent.
The so-called "magic talent" in the traditional sense is nothing more than an indication of whether a magician is fast enough in learning magic and improving his magic power.
However, since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Magic Research Institute began to promote the magic data analysis module four years ago, after several years of continuous investment in research, the previously mysterious magic in the minds of most people has long ceased to be mysterious and has become A subject that ordinary people can access and learn.
On the current Sainz continent, even ordinary people who were previously judged to have no magic talent can still master magic as long as they work hard and understand the basic magic data course given by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Because of this, Xu Yi and many magicians from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Magic Academy were once denounced as heretics by other magicians on the mainland, and even triggered a wave of boycotts.
However, as more and more ordinary people learned magic appeared in Xinfei Academy, the opposition gradually subsided.
In just over three years, people's understanding of magic in the entire Sainz continent has undergone earth-shaking changes. (To be continued...)
