Facts have proved that Xu Yi guessed well.
After spending a day at Baron Rector Magic Academy, Xu Yi not only successfully signed contracts with the thirteen students who received the scholarship fund, allowing them to become employees of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce from now on, there were also another twenty The four graduates also expressed to Xu Yi their desire to work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Naturally, Xu Yi couldn't answer them immediately, but asked them to prepare first and go to Sanqidun Manor to accept the application assessment in three days.
In fact, Xu Yi wanted to directly recruit these twenty graduates into the Chamber of Commerce without saying anything. After all, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still in urgent need of a large number of magicians.
Although Baron Rector's Magic Academy is not considered the top magic academy in the Lampali Kingdom, it is much better than the Senkoheir Academy where Xu Yi previously attended.
Students who can graduate from here generally have at least the strength of a second-level magician, and there are even many who have the strength of a third-level or even fourth-level magician.
If these students are recruited into the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and trained for a period of time, the Magic Research Institute will definitely receive a large number of personnel.
Of course, recruiting these students into the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just the beginning.
In view of the fact that the Chamber of Commerce will need a larger number of magicians in the future, or to be precise, magic mechanical engineers, Xu Yi, after careful consideration, simply negotiated again with the management of Baron Rector Magic Academy, and finally decided on A separate branch of magic machinery has been opened internally.
As the name of this academy suggests, all students learn knowledge related to magic machinery.
In order to establish this branch, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must provide an annual financial support of 10,000 gold coins to the Baron Rector Magic Academy.
Wait until summer is over. When Baron Rictor's Magic Academy began to recruit a new batch of students. This branch should attract some students to sign up.
And wait until the students of the Magic Machinery Branch graduate from the academy. So of course the only way out they can choose is to work on magic machinery.
"It doesn't seem cost-effective to invest 10,000 gold coins every year just for a few students who may appear?" On the way back, Steele expressed his doubts to Xu Yi.
"When enrolling in the fall, even if only one student applies for the Magic Machinery Branch, it means that the investment of 10,000 gold coins is worth it." Xu Yi said with a smile. "For now, the symbolic meaning of this branch is far greater than the actual significance. I just want to use this branch to tell the children who want to learn magic. Magic is not just those powerful and destructive things, but also completely different ones. A way of application. When this concept gradually takes root and is understood by the public, there will be more and more students in this branch. "
"But how many years will it take?" Steele asked again. "Is it really worth it?"
"There's no way. Creating a complete industrial system is a very time-consuming project. All I can do is lay the foundation bit by bit. As for when it will bear fruit, I'm not sure."
After a pause, Xu Yi added: "Actually, if our chamber of commerce didn't have so much money now, I would even want to open an academy of my own that specializes in learning magical mechanical knowledge. Then recruit children with magical talents and give them to them from an early age. They instill all kinds of knowledge related to magic machinery. You must know that magic machinery contains far more than just magic. There is also a lot of mechanical theoretical knowledge that needs to be learned. In fact, the effect is not good. "
"Well, I feel it now." Steele nodded. "In recent months, I have been busy with advertising and rarely go to the institute to conduct magic circle research with Evita and the others. I went there two days ago and found Evita and Akali discussing I don’t understand anything at all!”
Xu Yi chuckled and scratched Steele's nose: "It's normal if you don't understand. Evita and the others spend a lot of time researching every day, and recently they have developed two new technologies that even surprised me. You It would be unfair if this lazy guy could still be at the same level as them."
Steele snorted softly, wrinkled his small nose and said: "Give me some time, I will definitely catch up with them. By the way, you just told the shopkeeper selling clothes that the new generation of Xinfei brand The magic air conditioner will use a new technology that can adjust the temperature at will. Is it related to the two technologies that Evita and the others have recently developed? "
"Well, the function of adjusting the temperature is due to the magic input power gradient technology developed by Evita and others. This technology allows the magic crystal to control the power at will when transmitting magic power into the magic array, thereby controlling the magic at will. The power of the array. When it comes to magic air conditioners, it means that you can adjust the power of the frost cooling array in the magic air conditioner at will, so you can adjust the temperature of the wind blown out by the magic air conditioner." Xu Yi explained.
Steele thought about it and couldn't help but admired: "If that's the case, that's really amazing. I just thought about this technology casually and found that there are many places where it can be used. No wonder even you can What a surprise."
"Yeah. I originally thought it would take Evita and the others a long time to solve this problem, but I didn't expect them to solve it so quickly. It's really amazing." Xu Yi nodded in praise. "Actually, if you really want to talk about it, the other remote magic transmission technology is much more important than the magic power input power gradient technology. It can't be reflected well yet, but when they dig deeper into this technology, In the future, you will find that this technology can change your entire life! ”
"Really?" Steele looked at Xu Yi, whose eyes were shining with a serious look on his face. He smiled and hugged him and said, "Okay, I'll just wait and see."
It is certainly not easy to see the application of remote magic transmission technology, but it is very easy to see the difference between highways and ordinary roads.
When all twenty-four students from Baron Rector's Magic Academy passed the application review and started working at the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, President Cruise finally gave Xu Yi great news.
Luoyu Highway is finally completed!
It should be said that the efficiency of the Amuli Chamber of Commerce is very high. After the final completion of the road from Bangta City to Luoyu Valley, the total length is 57 kilometers, but the Amuli Chamber of Commerce only took just over three months to complete. time.
And after it was finally completed, Xu Yi inspected it and confirmed that the quality of the road was quite good.
The originally planned 15 centimeters thick pavement was eventually changed to 20 centimeters thick. The cement concrete pavement was flat and neat, with almost no potholes visible.
At a glance, the entire road stretches from Bangta City to the distant horizon like a white ribbon, which is truly spectacular and beautiful.
The only shortcoming is that although the road has been widened, it is still less than four meters wide. On earth, it can only be regarded as a two-lane road at most. If it is stretched to death, it can only be regarded as a country road.
Compared with those six-lane or even ten-lane national highways and even expressways, the gap is huge.
But for Sainz Continent, this is the first road and is of great significance.
When the Amuli Chamber of Commerce and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced the completion of the Luoyu Highway and held a ribbon-cutting ceremony outside Bangta City, even the city lord, Earl Satsuma, took the initiative to participate in the ceremony and delivered a speech at the ceremony, highly praising this The meaning of a highway.
In fact, there is no need to praise Earl Satsuma at all. Just by looking at it, everyone can see that this road, whose surface is as flat as the water, is undoubtedly countless times better than ordinary roads paved with gravel and soil. .
After the completion ceremony of Luoyu Highway, countless people stepped on this highway, but they could not feel any unevenness from the soles of their feet, and they were even more amazed.
And when some of the major nobles and representatives of the chamber of commerce in Bangta City who participated in the ceremony at the invitation of Xu Yi and Chairman Cruz got on carriages and started running on this road, this wonder became even more... Shock.
The horse led the carriage at high speed on the road, and there was no bump in the carriage at all!
Compared with sitting in a carriage before and almost knocking people apart, this is simply the difference between heaven and hell!
Moreover, when driving on such a flat road, the impact of the carriage on the speed due to the uneven ground is minimized, and the speed can be said to be more than twice as high as on an ordinary road.
Mark Pompeii, the president of Ferson Carriage and Horse Racing, only experienced the kung fu for a short time before he immediately found Xu Yi who was talking to Earl Satsuma. Regardless of Earl Satsuma standing next to him, he said to Xu Yi bluntly: " President Xu, I heard that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce undertook the construction of a road from Bangta City to Kalma City? "
Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes. What? Is President Pompeii also interested?"
President Pompeii continued to ask: "Then, President Xu, how much do you plan to invest in this highway?"
Xu Yi touched his chin, thought for a moment and replied: "The exact amount is not clear yet. But because the road conditions on this road are a little more complicated, and I want to build this road wider, so according to the Amuli Chamber of Commerce It is estimated that the current total valuation should be around 300,000 gold coins.”
"About 300,000 gold coins..." President Pompeii lowered his head and calculated for a while, then suddenly turned to look at Earl Satsuma and said sternly: "Your Majesty, City Lord, our Philson Carriage Company is now willing to work for the country like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The Kingdom of Lampali in Tacheng has decided to fund the construction of a road from Bangta City to Saltan City, please agree with it!" (To be continued...)
