Chapter 12 Asking for Money

Akali moved quickly, and flew back like a gust of wind after a while.

As soon as she landed, she waved her hands vigorously and said, "Okay, the problem is solved."

Xu Yi stopped her from pressing her hand to the wooden platform, and asked, "What is the problem, have you checked it out?"

Akali was slightly taken aback, as if surprised that someone would ask her such a question, and then she reacted, and replied: "Oh, there is a small mistake in the setting of the same frequency of the magic circle. I didn't consider today's The weather is so hot, and the material of the inlaid magic circle was slightly deformed by baking, which caused a little error in the magic circle. I checked it out just now, and it has been corrected, so it’s all right now.”

"Well, it's good to know where the problem is." Xu Yi nodded. "But Akali, I heard from these team members just now that you have done this experiment thousands of times, so it shouldn't be that similar problems have not occurred before, why didn't you find a way to solve it?"

Akali glanced at Xu Yi, her expression seemed hesitant.

Xu Yi frowned: "What? Is there anything else you can't say in front of me?"

"President, you asked me to say this." Akali suddenly chuckled. Xu Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You just say it. Is there anyone else who stops you from saying it? I don't think anyone in this chamber of commerce can stop you, right?"

"That's not necessarily △1 long △1 wind △1 literature △1 science, ▽.vx.n▽et, such as Evita..." Akali said with a resentful expression.

"Evita?" Xu Yi was puzzled. "What's wrong with Evita? If there is any problem, wouldn't she just tell me?"

"I just can't tell you." Akali shrugged and glanced at Xu Yi. He sighed and said, "Okay. It's already been said anyway. Then I'll tell you. President, you guessed it right. I know about this problem, but because I thought of Ann Evita's instructions, I Didn't try to figure it out."

Xu Yi asked puzzledly, "Why?"

"Because Evita said, try to save research costs." Akali replied rather helplessly. "Evita said that last year's research expenses of our Magic Research Institute were too much, so starting this year. She asked every research team and every researcher to save research costs as much as possible, and the money that should not be spent should not be spent indiscriminately. In fact, I have discovered this material problem a long time ago, but I thought that I would have to change new materials for each experiment, and I would have to re-conduct adaptive research on the materials, which would definitely cost a lot of money, so I gave up for the time being." "Nonsense!" Xu Yi suddenly yelled loudly, startling Akali and several other research institutes. "It's right to save research costs, but lowering the level of research is putting the cart before the horse! Akali. You are also an old researcher. Don't you know that if a research can't be perfect in the experimental stage? Maybe in practice Will a small mistake in the process result in a huge loss?"

"This... I..."

It was rare for Akali to see Xu Yi get so angry, and she was in a daze for a while.

"What's yours and mine? Let me tell you, as long as it can improve the research level and make the research results perfect, then no matter how much money is spent, it is worth spending! Have you forgotten the magic power newly developed by our chamber of commerce? Air conditioner, because of a small mistake in the research and development process, we were forced to recall more than 20,000 magic air conditioners that have already been sold?"

Akali stuck out her tongue: "Of course I remember. Steele said that the forced recall cost our Chamber of Commerce at least more than 100,000 gold coins, right?"

"More than one hundred thousand gold coins!" Xu Yi said in a deep voice. "More importantly, this accident has seriously damaged the nearly perfect reputation of our chamber of commerce. This is a hundred times more serious than the loss of a mere 100,000 gold coins! So I will never allow another mistake in the research and development process ,Do you know what I mean?"…

"I understand, I understand." Akali nodded again and again: "But Mr. President, Evita said to save research costs, so she is very strict on the research funds for each research group. Look..."

Xu Yi snorted: "I've already discovered this problem. Go and tell her that in order to solve this problem, it doesn't matter how much research funding you add." After a pause, he asked again: "One hundred thousand gold coins is enough. Bar?"

Akali immediately cheered: "That's enough!"

After cheering, Akali even hugged Xu Yi excitedly, and laughed loudly: "Master President, I knew that you are the most generous, and you will definitely not be like that cheapskate Evita who won't even give you a gold coin." They're all stingy."

Seeing Akali's excited expression, as well as the excited expressions on the faces of several researchers around him, Xu Yi's heart moved, and if he realized something, he pointed at Akali in astonishment and said, "Okay, Akali, you did it on purpose. Yes, you want to take this opportunity to apply for additional research funding from me, right?"

Akali giggled, hugged Xu Yi's arm and shook it: "Sure enough, you can't hide it from the wise and powerful president, but you must not care about it, right?"

Xu Yi snorted coldly: "It's just you who have a lot of thoughts. If you want research funding, just tell me, when have I ever been stingy on this. But I warn you, I can give you the 100,000 gold coins, but all of them must be spent on research funds. Solve the material problem. In case I find you messing around, hum..."

"No, Master President, how could I mess around, it's not the first day you know me." Akali laughed.

Xu Yi looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's because it wasn't the first day I met you that I fell for your tricks."

Seeing that Akali wanted to say more, Xu Yi raised his hand and interrupted her.

"Okay, this is the end of this matter. Let's hurry up and get to the point. If this experiment fails, then any amount of research funding given to you will be in vain."

"I've said it all, it's impossible to fail." Akali confidently came to the wooden platform, reached out and pressed a button on the platform.

A light blue light flashed from the magic circle on the platform, and Xu Yi, Akali and several other researchers turned their heads at the same time and looked in the direction of the high platform.

As magicians, they could clearly sense a wave of wind magic elements coming from the high platform in the distance, and they immediately came to the wooden platform and threw themselves into the magic circle above.

The magic circle on the wooden platform suddenly shone brightly, and then everyone felt that the same wave of magic elements as the previous wave of wind magic elements spread out from the wooden platform, and passed through thin lines. Placed on several household magic machines next to the wooden platform.

"Om..."

A faint beep sounded, the magic fan suddenly started to turn, the magic air conditioner also opened the air outlet, blowing a cool breeze, and the magic stove automatically ignited...

All kinds of household magic machines that had been silent just now started all at once.

Xu Yi glanced at every household magic machine, and found that the blades of the magic fan rotated slightly faster, the flames ignited by the magic stove were much higher than normal, and the cool wind blowing from the air outlet of the magic air conditioner was It's a little weaker than normal...

In short, the operation of every household magic machine is somewhat different from the normal operation.

This is also to be expected.

Under normal circumstances, these household magic machines are filled with magic crystals as the power source, but this time they use this wooden platform, which is the magic power provided by the magic power transmission terminal, as the power source. There must be some differences.

Moreover, these magic powers come from the central magic power supply station of the magic power transmission network that is two kilometers away from here. It is normal for some differences to occur after such a long distance.

To solve this problem, in addition to conducting more in-depth and detailed research on the magic power transmission network, it is more important to determine a unified power supply standard like those household appliances on the earth, so that these household magic machines can be connected more smoothly. Enter this magic power transmission network.

The ultimate goal is that, just like on Earth, each family only needs to arrange a magic power transmission network terminal similar to this wooden platform, so that they can use all the household magic machines at home without going out to buy magic crystals.

This can not only save time and effort to buy magic crystals for home use, but also save some money.

More importantly, families that use household magic machines can be included in this magic power transmission network.

And this magic power transmission network is naturally controlled by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the control it can provide is naturally extremely terrifying.

The reason why people on the continent of Sainz generally do not have a strong concept of a country is not only the education level, but also because for most ordinary civilians, the so-called country is just a noun, and the difference is only in the way of tax collection. Just how much.

And once this magic power transmission network is successfully constructed and everyone is included in this network, it will make it difficult for people to leave this network, and it will also clearly distinguish people in this network from people outside the network .

An example right in front of us is the automatic water supply system that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is currently vigorously promoting.

In Xu Yi's private territory, the automatic water supply system has been fully laid out, and almost every family and building in the territory has been connected to the automatic water supply system.

Now, in Xu Yi's private territory, he can use the convenience brought by automatic water supply anytime, anywhere, just like on the earth.

And just because of this convenience, many people who were not originally in Xu Yi's private domain rushed over from other places and settled down in Xu Yi's private domain.

It has been less than a year since Xu Yi started to promote the automatic water supply system, and the population of his private domain has grown from about 200,000 to 300,000 in one go.

And according to the current trend, after this year is over, maybe Xu Yi's private territory will have more than half of the population of the entire Principality of Standing, becoming the absolute core area of ​​the Principality of Standing.
