Seeing the magic spaceship model flying overhead, Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
This world is indeed different from the earth.
The existence of magic makes the research and development of many things much simpler than the corresponding industrial machinery on earth, and in many aspects it has advantages that those industrial machinery on earth cannot match.
Take the magic locomotive as an example. Although the research on the engine still takes a long time, due to the power of magic, the biggest advantage of the magic locomotive now developed compared to cars on earth is that it only consumes magic crystals instead of It consumes gasoline, so it does not produce any pollution, and there is no need to consider exhaust emissions at all.
At the same time, the energy utilization rate of the magic locomotive is very high. As long as the refined magic crystal is used, it can be almost completely consumed without any impurities. This makes the loss of the magic engine extremely small and its lifespan greatly increased.
Of course, there are also shortcomings. Compared with the cars on earth, the current magic locomotive driven by the wind magic engine is still insufficient in power, so the speed of the magic locomotive cannot be compared with that of the car. If it is really compared, it is probably Almost like an electric car.
However, the research and development of the magic engine is only in its early stages. Xu Yi is confident that he will gradually increase the output power of the magic engine and steadily increase the speed of the magic locomotive.
This is just the advantage of magic embodied in the magic motorcycle. If we take the magic spaceship model in front of us as an example, compared with the aircraft on the earth, the advantage is even greater.
For any flying prop on earth, the first problem that needs to be solved is to fly.
In order to escape the gravity of the earth, people who have studied various flying props in the history of the earth have worked hard. I tried my best to think of various ways to achieve my goal.
And airplanes on modern earth. Be it a helicopter or not. Whether it is a jet aircraft, if it wants to get rid of the constraints of the ground, it must first ensure a very large power output.
On the Sainz Continent, due to the existence of wind-based flying magic, the most basic but difficult requirement of taking off into the air has become extremely easy. You only need to imprint a magic circle to easily rise into the air.
And combined with the magic array co-frequency resonance technology researched by Akali, remote control can be easily achieved.
Although for now. The magic spaceship model successfully developed by Evita is probably comparable in level to those model airplane toys on Earth, but it represents a very feasible research and development direction.
The wind control circle on the magic spaceship model did not have much magic power injected by Evita. After flying in the air for a few times, it was taken back by Evita.
Xu Yi took the magic spacecraft model from Evita and looked at it carefully. He found that the model was indeed very simple. In fact, the whole body was just a simple plastic model, and Evita just engraved the wind-controlling array on it. , there are no other parts or processing.
"Evita, are you sure you can develop a magical spaceship that can take ordinary people into the sky?". Xu Yi asked after thinking for a while.
"Of course." Evita showed a confident smile. "What else would I do with this model?"
"Okay, I will now officially approve the Magic Research Institute to set up a magic spacecraft research project. You will be the project leader. As the president, I approve this project as a second-level priority. You can use any resources within the Chamber of Commerce. ”
"Second priority?" Evita looked at Xu Yi with surprise. "Great! President. I didn't expect you to attach so much importance to this thing."
"Of course." Xu Yi smiled. "Being able to fly into the sky may not be difficult for us magicians, but for millions of ordinary people, it is their dream. Magic spaceships have such great significance, how could I not pay attention to it. "…
Evita took back the magic spaceship model from Xu Yi with a smile, carefully placed it back on the experimental table, and let out a long breath.
"I was worried that this research might be redundant. Now that I have your approval, President, I feel relieved."
Xu Yi suddenly laughed: "Have I not told you many times? You can boldly try any experimental research related to magic machinery. I support all of it. What's more, the research on this magic spacecraft is obviously very promising. What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of spending money indiscriminately." Evita, perhaps too happy, stuck out her tongue at Xu Yi, showing a rare and playful smile. "In the first half of this year alone, our Magic Research Institute has spent more than half a million gold coins on research, but the results are not much, which makes me always feel that we are wasting money. Kennard told me last time However, we must grasp the direction of the use of research funds and do not use them on research that will not be of great help to the development of the chamber of commerce.”
"Oh? Kennard told you this?" Xu Yi was a little surprised and frowned slightly: "This guy, I have emphasized the importance of technology research and development countless times, and he still said such things to you, he, the CEO How did you become an official?"
Seeing Xu Yi's face darken, Evita was startled and waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, Kennard is right, our Magic Research Institute has indeed spent a lot of money on some unnecessary research projects recently. I am planning to do a thorough inventory during this time and eliminate unnecessary research projects. In any case, the research funds provided by the Chamber of Commerce cannot be wasted."
"It's a good idea that you have, but Evita, you must listen to me on this point." Xu Yi said seriously. "No matter what kind of research it is, as long as it is definitely relevant to promoting the development of the magic industry, then it is worth spending any amount of money. If Kennard comes to you again and says this kind of thing, you just tell him this is what I meant. . The investment in the Magic Research Institute and Magic Machine Tool R&D Center, not to mention 500,000 gold coins, even one million is not too much."
Seeing Xu Yi's firm expression, Evita opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything and nodded in agreement.
Xu Yi softened his expression and said with a smile: "Well, it's really not good for you to negotiate with Kennard. It's better for me to say this. Evita, your idea is right. You are the director of the Magic Research Institute, and you must be well aware of the research projects of the Magic Research Institute. I fully trust your judgment on how to determine which projects are useful and which are useless."
"But many times I can't even judge myself..." Evita murmured softly.
"That's simple. If you encounter something you're not sure about, just leave it to me to judge." Xu Yi said with a smile. "Evita, there is something I have always wanted to say to you. Since you have become the dean of the Magic Research Institute, you must act like the dean. Your character is too gentle. Therefore, you should treat your fellow researchers Management is not strict enough, which is actually not a good thing.”
Evita looked at Xu Yi in astonishment. With her intelligence, she could naturally tell that there was something else hidden in Xu Yi's words.
Xu Yi probably explained to her about the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce that Kennard mentioned just now. After hearing this, Evita's face immediately changed.
"President, are you doubting the researchers of our Magic Academy?"
Xu Yi shook his head: "For the time being, I don't doubt them, because if any researcher completely betrays the Chamber of Commerce, the technology we leak will definitely not just be something that has nothing to do with the core technology. I want to tell you When I mention this, I just hope that Evita can secretly observe whether any researcher will reveal something inadvertently and be used by other chambers of commerce.”…
Evita bit her lip lightly, looking ashamed: "President. It's my fault. I didn't manage the Magic Research Institute well."
"It's none of your business." Xu Yi waved his hand and said, "And for now, the loss is nothing. I just hope that this incident can serve as a warning to my fellow researchers... uh... as a reminder. Educate them and tell them the importance of confidentiality. After all, they have signed a confidentiality agreement with the Chamber of Commerce. If something goes wrong, neither they nor the Chamber of Commerce want to see it. "
Evita nodded heavily: "Okay, I will."
"Of course, don't make this matter public. Just pretend to remind them inadvertently." Xu Yi warned again.
"Well, I know what to do."
Xu Yi smiled and said nothing more.
Although Evita is not very old, she has a calm personality and is cautious and steady in doing things. Xu Yi believes that she has enough ability to handle this matter.
And after all, the scale of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Magic Research Institute has not been expanded to a particularly large scale, so it will be relatively easy to master.
This incident can be regarded as a small test given by Xu Yi to Evita.
"By the way, President, when you came in just now, you said you wanted to explain two things to me, right? In addition to this, what else did you say?" Evita asked again.
"Oh, I almost forgot about being hit by your magic spaceship." Xu Yi said with a smile.
Evita glanced at the magic spacecraft model on the test bench, thinking of Xu Yi's panicked mood after being smashed just now, and then thinking of the embarrassing things that happened after that, two blushes suddenly appeared on her face.
"The other thing is about the standardized refining of magic crystals." Xu Yi continued. "Now that your research on this aspect has been basically completed, the next step is to incorporate this into formal production and operation. According to the plan, I plan to build a magic crystal refining factory within three months. Construction preparations are being carried out in the factory. At the same time, you cooperate with the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center to conduct research on magic crystal refining equipment."
"Okay, this should be no problem. I have discussed it with Canby and the others many times before, and Canby and the others also said it is no problem." Evita nodded.
"That's okay, I'm waiting for your good news."
After explaining these two things, Xu Yi looked at Evita, who still had a clear blush on her face, and thought that it might not be suitable for him to come here to talk to Evita as before and continue chatting after work. After thinking about it, he stood up and left.
Evita also sent Xu Yi out in uncharacteristic silence.
But looking at Xu Yi's leaving back, the expression on Evita's face became extremely complicated, and her eyes also revealed the complex emotions of disappointment and hope.
