Russell was not the only one who secretly cursed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for their black heart. In the Lampali Kingdom, which was more than 3,000 kilometers away from the conversation between him and Leslie, there were also countless people who cursed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's black heart in their hearts. ∷,
Just a week after the news of the birth of Her Majesty Queen Sevigny's child came out, the New Air Chamber of Commerce suddenly announced that in order to celebrate the birth of Her Majesty the Queen's child, the New Air Chamber of Commerce would announce a vital technology to the public in the Kingdom of Lampali as a A gift to Her Majesty the Queen.
This news immediately caused a sensation in the Lampali Kingdom and also attracted close attention from other surrounding countries.
Everyone knows that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has technical strength that far exceeds all other magic machinery chambers of commerce in terms of magic machinery, resulting in their absolute leading position in this field.
Although other chambers of commerce can invest energy and funds in technology research and development to catch up, how can it be more convenient and faster to do their own research than to obtain mature technology directly from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce
If it hadn't been for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's initiative to transfer a series of technologies related to household magic machinery, now in the field of magic machinery, I am afraid that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would still be a solo player, and the others would only have soup.
Therefore, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced that a crucial technology would be disclosed again, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.
And the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not disappoint people. At the press conference in Bangta City, the importance of the technology announced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce even exceeded everyone's imagination.
This technology is actually steel-making technology!
There are of course many kinds of magic machines, ranging from small to pocket-sized magic lamps. As big as the large cargo magic ship developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce half a year ago. They are completely different in function, performance and construction.
But no matter what kind of magic machine it is. But they will definitely use a crucial raw material, which is steel.
Before the emergence of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, there was no word for steel on the Sainz continent, but only iron tools.
Iron-making is a technology that has been passed down on the Sainz continent for thousands of years, and the dwarves are the leaders in this aspect.
But before that, iron making was mostly used to make simple iron tools used in daily life. It's not complicated or demanding.
The only thing that is slightly more demanding is that it is used to make weapons and armor.
Although there were well-known craftsmen who created powerful weapons and armor before and brought their iron-making technology to a very high level, before the emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, no one had ever been able to smelt iron on such a large scale and refine it. The iron has such diverse and demanding requirements.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce even redefined these irons as steels, and distinguished them with various materials, indicating the different properties and uses of these different materials.
If we say that before this, ironmaking was just a display of craftsmen's personal skills. So after the emergence of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, iron smelting... Oh no. It is now called steelmaking, and it has become a completely industrialized product that requires extremely precision and is countless times larger in scale.
After the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's first steelmaking plant appeared, it almost completely destroyed the large and small blacksmith shops in Bangta City.
And when the second, third and now sixth steel-making plants of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were built and the monthly steel output even approached one million tons, almost all the blacksmith shops in the entire Lampali Kingdom were seriously affected. impact.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has no intention of stealing business from ordinary blacksmith shops, this does not prevent other chambers of commerce from doing so.
The main job of an ordinary blacksmith shop is to make some simple daily iron tools, and occasionally make weapons and armor. However, the emergence of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has first turned the manufacturing of weapons and armor into an assembly line operation, both in terms of efficiency and workmanship, as well as the manufactured products. The weapons and armors completely outperformed the weapons and armors made by the blacksmith shop in all aspects, directly squeezing out this part of the business.
Secondly, several chambers of commerce quickly discovered business opportunities and specially ordered a batch of magic machine tools from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. They then used the steel produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to make common daily iron tools such as shovels and shovels, and transformed the blacksmith shop aspect. The business is gradually being squeezed out.
In the current Lampali Kingdom, except for some extremely remote towns, there is almost no old-fashioned blacksmith shop.
The large number of dwarf craftsmen who used to make a living from this craft in the Lampali Kingdom have now been almost all lured away by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and have become workers of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The reason for this result is actually very simple. The key lies in the steelmaking of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The steel refined by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce surpasses the pig iron produced by ordinary blacksmiths in every performance, and has a rich variety of properties that can meet various needs.
Among them, the most popular are various steel materials with stainless steel quality.
In addition to being widely used in various household magic machines, these stainless steel-quality steel materials are also used in many daily steel consumptions, and are in great demand.
The steel output of the six steelmaking plants owned by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is close to one million tons per month, but it is still far from meeting the demand.
In fact, a large part of the reason why Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's production capacity is limited is because of limited steel production.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not supply enough steel for its own needs, so naturally there will not be much steel that can be supplied to other chambers of commerce.
Therefore, apart from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is subject to production restrictions due to the steel production of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there are almost all other chambers of commerce related to magic machinery, and there are even many industrial chambers of commerce that have nothing to do with magic machinery but are related to steel products.
Therefore, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced the disclosure of steel-making technology, which instantly ignited everyone's enthusiasm.
Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is finally willing to hand over its unique steel-making technology. Doesn't it mean that everyone can refine the steel they need without having to ask grandpa to sue grandma to beg Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to give themselves more steel shares?
Of course, everyone knows very well that since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing to release such an important technology, the price paid by others must also be extremely high.
However, when the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce announced the price required to obtain the corresponding technology from the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, everyone was still shocked and speechless.
This time, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not asking for money or various mineral resources, but directly asking for people!
What they want is not just ordinary people, but slaves!
In other words, do you want to obtain steelmaking technology transfer from Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? No problem, trade for slaves.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also has clear regulations on the slaves used for exchange. Only those who are over sixteen years old and under forty years old, in good health and without disabilities are considered a complete slave. Those outside this range are It can only be counted as half at most.
However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has an even more strange rule, that is, if it is willing to hand over a complete slave family, this ratio will be improved to a certain extent.
No one understands the intentions of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but everyone clearly feels the malicious intent of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from its pricing.
Damn, the refining technology of a c803 model steel actually requires a thousand slaves!
You know, a healthy adult slave can be sold for at least fifty gold coins in the slave market. The total price of three thousand such slaves is as high as fifty thousand gold coins!
But such a high price is just in exchange for a mere steel refining technology.
There are a total of seventy-eight types of steel models currently announced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce!
Even if each one has the same price, the total value is close to four million gold coins!
And if all were exchanged for slaves, a terrifying number of nearly 80,000 slaves would be needed!
What's more, the steelmaking technology transferred by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not limited to one company. In other words, if many people need these steelmaking technologies, the price that needs to be paid will be far more than 80,000 slaves.
While everyone was wondering why the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would propose such an exchange condition, they were also wondering about another thing.
Xu Yike took the initiative to propose a slavery abolition bill in the Principality of Standing, and it was passed.
Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has obtained so many slaves, if they are brought back to the Principality of Standing, wouldn't they be helping them transform into civilians
In theory, these slaves no longer belong to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, which means that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will have to treat them the same way as civilians. If they want to let them work in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, they will have to pay additional compensation.
Looking at it this way, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is completely unnecessary.
The only result of doing this is to help these slaves obtain free status. What good will it do to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce
Does this President Xu really think of himself as a saint, as many newspapers said
Of course, no matter what doubts other people have about Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's move, it is a fact that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce intends to transfer steelmaking technology.
It didn't take long for countless people to take action immediately.
Just the second day after the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce press conference was held, a related transaction broke out in "Bangta Daily".
A certain lord in the northeastern province of Lampali Kingdom used 3,653 slaves in his own name to obtain the refining technology of three types of steel from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Within the next half month, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce successively concluded six more transactions and obtained more than 15,300 slaves from these six transactions.
Including the first transaction, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce owned nearly 20,000 slaves in this half month.
Everyone's eyes were focused on these slaves, wanting to see what the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would do with these slaves, and whether Xu Yi would be like a saint and grant these slaves free status.
However, various newspapers' reports on the whereabouts of these slaves came to an abrupt end after they were all sent to the Black Rice Wasteland, and finally passed through the Black Rice Port in the west of the Black Rice Wasteland, and boarded the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's large cargo magic ship.
The large cargo magic ship of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce disappeared into the boundless endless sea, and these slaves also disappeared without a trace, never to be seen again. (To be continued...)
