Chapter 49
It turns out that Xu Yi guessed right.
After a day at the Baron Rictor School of Magic, Xu Yi not only successfully signed contracts with the thirteen students who received the scholarship fund, making them employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and another twenty The four graduates also expressed their willingness to work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi naturally couldn't answer them immediately, but asked them to prepare first and go to Thornkeyton Manor to accept the application assessment three days later.
In fact, Xu Yi really wanted to say nothing and directly recruit these 20 graduates into the Chamber of Commerce. After all, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still in urgent need of a large number of magicians.
Although Baron Riktor's School of Magic is not the top magic school in Lampari Kingdom, it is much stronger than the Suncor Haier Academy where Xu Yi used to be.
Students who can graduate from here generally have at least the strength of a second-level magician, and many even have the strength of a third-level or even a fourth-level magician.
If these students are recruited into the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and then cultivated for a period of time, the Magic Research Institute will definitely gain a large number of personnel.
Of course, recruiting these students into the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is just the beginning.
Considering that the Chamber of Commerce will need more magicians in the future, or to be precise, the needs of magical mechanical engineers, after careful consideration, Xu Yi negotiated with the management of Baron Riktor Magic Academy and finally decided to work in the academy. A separate branch of magic machinery was opened inside.
As the name suggests, this academy learns all knowledge related to magical machinery.
For the establishment of this branch, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must provide 10,000 gold coins each year to the Baron Rictor Magic Academy for this purpose.
Wait until summer is over. When Baron Rictor's School of Magic began to recruit a new batch of students. This branch should attract some students to apply.
And wait until the students of the Magic Machinery Branch will graduate from the academy in the future. Then the way out for them to choose, of course, can only be the work related to magic machinery.
"Investing 10,000 gold coins every year, just for the few students who may show up, doesn't seem like a good deal?" On the way back, Steele expressed his doubts to Xu Yi.
"When entering school in the fall, even if there is only one student applying for the Magic Machinery Branch, it means that the investment of 10,000 gold coins is worth it." Xu Yi smiled. "The symbolic meaning of this branch is far greater than the actual meaning. I just want to tell those children who want to learn magic through this branch. Magic is not just those powerful and destructive things, there are completely different things. A method of application. When this concept gradually takes root in the hearts of the people and is understood by the public, there will be more and more students in this branch.”
"But that will take many years?" Steele said again. "Is it really worth it?"
"No way. Creating a complete industrial system is a big project that takes a lot of time. All I can do is lay the foundation bit by bit. As for when it will come to fruition, I'm not sure."
After a pause, Xu Yi said again: "Actually, if it weren't for the fact that our chamber of commerce didn't have so much money now, I would even want to open an academy that specializes in learning about magical machinery. Then recruit those children who are gifted with magic and give them to them from a young age. Instill all kinds of knowledge related to magical machinery. You must know. The knowledge contained in magical machinery is far more than magic, and there are many theoretical knowledge of machinery to learn. If you only touch it halfway, the effect is not good."
"Well, I have the experience now." Steele nodded. "In recent months, I have been busy with advertising, and I rarely go to the research institute to conduct research on magic circles 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 smiled 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 surprised even me. You It would be unfair if this lazy guy can still maintain the same level as them."
Steele snorted softly, wrinkled his small nose, and said, "Give me some time, and I will definitely catch up with them. By the way, you told the clothes shop owner just now that the new generation of Xinfei cards 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 power of the magic crystal to be controlled at will when it transmits magic power to the magic array, so as to control the magic at will. The power of the array. For the magic air conditioner, it means that you can adjust the power of the frost and cold magic array in the magic air conditioner at will, so you can adjust the temperature of the wind blown by the magic air conditioner." Xu Yi explained.
Steele thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but admire: "If that's the case, it'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 Surprised."
"Well. I 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 approval. "In fact, if I really want to say it, another remote magic power transmission technology is much more important than the magic power input power gradient technology. It can't be reflected well for the time being, but when they dig further into this technology, You'll find out later that this technology can change your whole life in a whole new way!"
"Really?" Steele looked at Xu Yi with a serious look in his eyes, smiled and hugged him and said, "Well, I'll just wait and see."
It is certainly not easy to see the application of remote magic power transmission technology, but it is very easy to see the difference between highways and ordinary roads.
When all the twenty-four students from Baron Riktor's School of Magic passed the application review and entered the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and started working, President Cruise finally brought Xu Yi a piece of good news.
The rainy road is finally complete!
It should be said that the efficiency of the Amli Chamber of Commerce is very high. After the completion of the road from Bangta City to the Rainfall Valley, the total length of the road is 57 kilometers, but the Amli Chamber of Commerce has only spent more than three months. time.
And after the final completion, Xu Yi checked and confirmed that the quality of the road is also quite good.
The 15-centimeter-thick pavement originally reserved by Xu Yi was eventually changed to 20 centimeters. The cement-concrete pavement was smooth and tidy, with almost no potholes to be seen.
At a glance, the entire road extends from Bangta City to the distant horizon like a white sash, which is truly spectacular and beautiful.
The only shortcoming is that although the road surface has been widened a little, it is still less than four meters wide. On the earth, it can only be regarded as a two-lane road at most.
Compared with those six-lane or even ten-lane national highways and even highways, the gap is huge.
But for Sainz Continent, this is the first road, and it is of great significance.
When the Amley Chamber of Commerce and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced the completion of the Rainfall Highway, and after the ribbon-cutting ceremony outside Bangta City, even the city owner, Earl Satsuma, also took the initiative to participate in the ceremony, and delivered a speech at the ceremony, highly praised the ceremony. The meaning of the road.
In fact, there is no need to praise the Earl of Summer at all. Just looking at it with your eyes, everyone can see that this road with a surface that is almost as flat as the water surface is undoubtedly better than those ordinary roads paved with gravel and soil. .
After the completion ceremony of the Luoyu Highway, countless people stepped on the road with their feet, but they could not feel any unevenness on the soles of their feet, and they were even more amazed.
And when some nobles and representatives of the Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City who participated in this ceremony, at the invitation of Xu Yi and President Cruise, took a carriage and began to run on this road, the exclamation became even more. Shock.
The horse led the carriage at high speed on the highway, and the carriage did not feel the slightest bump!
This is comparable to the previous time when people were almost thrown to pieces when sitting in a carriage. It was simply the difference between heaven and hell!
And driving on such a flat road, the impact of the carriage on the speed due to the unevenness of the ground is minimized, and the speed can be said to be more than doubled compared to ordinary roads.
Mark Pomperi, the chairman of Philson's Cars and Horses, only experienced a little time, and immediately found Xu Yi who was talking to Earl Satsuma, and bluntly said to Xu Yi, regardless of the presence of Earl Satsuma: " President Xu, I heard that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has contracted to build a road from Bangta City to Karma City?"
Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "That's right. What? Is President Pomperi also interested?"
President Pomperi 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 still unclear. But because the road conditions of this road are a little more complicated, and I want to make this road wider, I will follow the Amley Chamber of Commerce's instructions. It is estimated that the current total estimate should be around 300,000 gold coins."
"About 300,000 gold coins..." President Pomperi lowered his head for a while, then suddenly turned to look at Earl Satsuma, and said solemnly: "Sir City Lord, we are now willing to be the same as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Bangta City Lampari Kingdom has contributed its own strength. Now it has decided to invest in the construction of the road from Bangta City to Saltan City, please agree to the Lord City Lord!"
