Chapter 13 No Time to Play with Them
No matter how resentful Freya's eyes were, Steele left the Principality of Standing three days later and went to the Kingdom of Lampari again.
In the past three days, she and Xu Yi held several consultation meetings in the Magic Research Institute to determine the standards and requirements for the new generation of magic phantom projectors.
After Xu Yi's proposal, the new generation of magic phantom projectors will be divided into two categories.
One is a magical phantom projector that can project super-large phantoms, which are specially provided for the use of phantom films in major opera houses.
The other category is much smaller and is primarily intended for home use.
According to Xu Yi's thoughts, it's actually the difference between movies and TV.
Steele's various requirements are much more specific. For example, when she requests to project a magic illusion film, it must not be affected by the external environment.
For example, when the New Moon Chamber of Commerce publicly showed the phantom film in a city in the Lampari Kingdom, it happened to encounter a heavy rain.
As a result, under the torrential rain, not only the projected phantom became extremely blurred, and it was impossible to see clearly, but even the projection device itself was affected to a certain extent, and almost broke down.
For example, she also asked the magic phantom projector to automatically play different phantom movies in a loop, so that it can save manpower to keep changing it.
Another example……
...
Of course, it is obviously impossible for these requests to be resolved in a short while, so Steele only raised the request, but did not specifically hope when it will be resolved.
In comparison, her most important job now is to let people in these surrounding countries fully recognize and understand, and accept the novelty of phantom films.
So she is very busy. Even the total time spent at home in the past six months has not exceeded one month.
Xu Yi was very helpless about this situation.
It was he who offered to support Steele in finding his own job. Now Steele has finally found a career he loves. How could he come to tell her to quit.
What's more, compared to Steele, he is actually several times busier.
Finally, after Steele left, Xu Yi squeezed out a day to take Freya, Lise, Linda and their children William, Sandy, Betty and Carol with Xu Yi to After traveling overseas for a while, early the next morning, heaps of things came to him immediately.
"Master President. The construction progress of the magic communication network of the Principality of Standing is now more than half completed, and there is no place covering the magic communication signal, only here, and here..."
The team led by Akali is responsible for the research of the magic communication network, but the actual erection of the magic power signal tower, as well as the construction of the corresponding supporting magic power fluctuation signal transfer, etc., are carried out by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Amley The construction team jointly formed by the Chamber of Commerce will complete it.
The supervisor of the construction team is Dago Umpest, a veteran construction supervisor transferred from the Amley Chamber of Commerce. He has rich experience in construction and is now directly responsible to Xu Yi. He is currently in charge of the laying of the magic communication network between the Principality of Standing and the Kingdom of Lampari. Work.
Look at the several places that Dago Ompes has pointed out on the map. Xu Yi frowned slightly.
"It's these guys again... How did they respond when you went to set up the magic signal tower?" Xu Yi asked.
"These aristocrats are quite polite on the surface. They said that these places are no longer their private territory. Since the Congress decided to erect a magic signal tower here, they have nothing to do with it. But..."
Speaking of this, Dago Onpes sighed, shook his head, his expression was a little dissatisfied, but more helpless.
"Actually, when we set up the magic power signal tower, we always encountered various troubles. For example, the road we transported supplies would always be blocked for various reasons, and the residents nearby would make troubles... In short, all kinds of things have made our progress extremely slow, and even the most serious place has not even laid the foundation of the magic signal tower."
"Are you sure that these nobles are instigating behind the scenes?" Xu Yi asked.
"This... I'm sure, but I can't find actual evidence. Besides, even if they find evidence, they won't admit it." Director Ompes was even more helpless. "I once approached those noble lords, and wanted them to help solve these problems. But they all said that these places are no longer their private territory, and they have nothing to do with it."
"Heh, these guys really are still very resentful." Xu Yi laughed instead, thought for a while, reached out and clicked on the map that Director Weng Peisi pointed to just now. "You go to Kennard in a while, and ask him to take you to Captain Hart, and discuss how many people should be brought there."
"Captain Hart?" Supervisor Umpes was taken aback. "Master President, you haven't reached the point where you need to send out the guards..."
"In terms of level, it's not enough, but we don't have so much free time to play with them. The establishment of the magic communication network and the laying of the road traffic network are equally important to me, and I will not allow anyone to delay the progress." Xu Yi's face was calm. , but the words that came out were full of murderous intent. "Tell Hart, if someone dares to stop and make trouble again, I will allow him to use all means without harming ordinary civilians."
Hearing the meaning of Xu Yi's words, Supervisor Weng Peisi couldn't help shaking.
Is the chairman planning to start a killing spree?
Xu Yi ignored Director Weng Peisi's reaction, looked at the map again, and asked, "Tell me, if there is no obstacle, how long will it take to complete the erection of the magic signal tower inside the Principality of Standing?"
Director Weng Peisi calmed down, thought for a moment and replied: "If there are no accidents, I think it will be completed by the end of this year at the latest. But if it comes to the complete establishment of the magic communication network, it depends on the Magic Research Institute. situation on the side."
"Well, you don't have to worry about this. What about the Lampari Kingdom?"
Hearing Xu Yi ask about the Kingdom of Lampari, Director Ompes had a weird look on his face.
"The Kingdom of Lampari is much smoother, because both the royal family of the Lampari King and the Kingdom Council are very supportive in setting up a magical communication network. The nobles in the kingdom are also very active, and many nobles even approached me on their own initiative, hoping We can give priority to completing the erection of the magic signal tower in their territory."
"Hey, these guys have a much higher vision than these wastes in the Principality of Standing." Xu Yi shook his head with a similar expression of helplessness.
Because the current main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is in the Principality of Standing, he actually wants to use the Principality of Standing as the main base for cultivation and construction. However, among the various things that have happened in the past few years, the Various veteran noble lords made troubles and obstacles for him.
Grand Duke Weilun in the distance tried to counter-control the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce many times, not to mention, the nearby nobles and lords in the Duchy of Standing tried to create obstacles for the work of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which delayed a lot of work progress.
The last time Anklu joined many aristocratic lords in private to oppose the erection of the magic power signal tower. After angering Xu Yi, he not only dragged Anklu directly from the position of Speaker of the National Assembly, but also canceled it in the Principality of Standing. The system of private estates of the nobility.
This practice obviously made the nobles in the Principality of Constantine extremely dissatisfied. Although they did not dare to resist on the surface, they must have complained in private.
This time, creating obstacles for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to promote the laying of the magic communication network can also be regarded as a kind of vent.
Xu Yi was actually very puzzled by their thoughts.
Since Xinfei Chamber of Commerce entered the Principality of Standing, it has brought huge benefits to the entire Principality of Standing.
The noble lords who cooperated with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have already made a lot of money through various rubber processing factories, fruit canning processing factories, and even simply planting large-scale farmland.
However, they are still dissatisfied with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is really unreasonable.
Xu Yi can only use this as an explanation for the natives' natural rejection of outsiders...
"What about the Luerson Kingdom?" Xu Yi asked Director Ompes again.
"We have preliminarily completed the terrain survey of the western part of the Luerxun Kingdom. Next, as long as the Magic Research Institute is ready and approved by the Luerxun Kingdom Council, we can start construction." Director Ompes replied.
"Well, so to speak, it's generally smooth. But how is your manpower? Is it enough?"
As soon as he heard the word "manpower", Director Ompes immediately gave a wry smile and spread his hands: "Master President, do you think it's enough?"
Xu Yi was speechless for a moment.
The manpower problem is not limited to the main magic machinery production of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It should be said that it is a big problem in all emerging industries involved in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
However, it takes time to cultivate the right manpower, but there is no rush anyway.
"Well, let's put it in order. The laying of the magic communication network in the Principality of Standing is obviously the first priority, followed by the Kingdom of Lampari, and the Kingdom of Rulson can step back until the completion of the construction of the Duke of Standing. After laying it, we can consider it as appropriate." Xu Yidao.
"Understood, this is also the plan I have specified now."
"Well, time is precious, so we can't waste it arguing with those trash. Ompes, I asked Hart to go with you this time, just because I don't want you to have any delays in progress, understand my point mean?"
"clear."
Xu Yi looked at the map for a while, raised his head to look south, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Cleaning up the stubborn old forces is a very troublesome thing, but if these guys really try to continue to hinder him from promoting the development of the magic industry in the Principality of Standing, he doesn't mind teaching them another profound lesson.
Even if this lesson will cost some people blood... (to be continued...)
