Chapter 25: Returning to the Devil
Through interstellar broadcasting, Murphy gave many instructions to Needham and Eliza who stayed on the Order Star. In its attitude towards Blackfire, Scarab must do everything in its power to prevent competitors from expanding.
The defeat in the initial direct confrontation showed that the Blackfire Company was technologically superior to the Scarab Company, which had been in Order for decades. They have mastered the micro-wormhole opening technology, and they also have a strong team, which is the weakness of the scarab company. And the advantage of the Scarab Company is the circle of influence it has established on the Order Star, which is the weakness of the Black Fire Company that has just discovered the Order Star.
Attacking the opponent's weak place with their own strong place is what Needham and Eliza should do.
After the wormhole station of the Star Alliance is completed and used, Kirk will take the advance team of the Scarab Company to the Order Star, which can make up for the technical disadvantage, and then the Scarab Company will be in a more advantageous position in the competition for the Order Star.
During the time when the Star Alliance Wormhole Station was being built, Kirk had to use the knowledge he had gained on Order to train the advance combat team, and they would not only fight against the Black Fire Company, but also the indigenous forces on Order would be their target.
Occupying land and plundering resources is itself the purpose of Starlink's army.
At this time, Da Liang is also actively accumulating his strength in response to the threat from the sky. The "Saroyan University Alliance Co., Ltd." was established in Saryan City under his organization, and the magic academies of the members of the university alliance began to share research resources, bent on doing big things together and making a lot of money.
Da Liang also proposed the first joint research project after the establishment of the university alliance in due course...... Multi-cylinder piston steam engine.
So far, no oil has been found on the Order Star, and there is no abundant fuel suitable for the study of internal combustion engines, only various ores containing magical energy. Therefore, digging deep into the potential of the steam engine has become the best choice for researching more powerful engines.
And only when the engine power of the heart continues to increase, can the knowledge and materials of the whole world flow rapidly. In order to speed up the development of multi-cylinder piston steam engines, Da Liang also asked the Great Tomb Alchemy Laboratory to come up with a more efficient design scheme for magic energy thermonuclear that is suitable for the world's scientific and technological level.
Then came the launch of the first issue of Energy News.
Father Titus's treatise on divine power and Sir Charles's several exclusive studies on mechanics added much to the first issue of Energy Bulletin.
However, these excellent papers were overshadowed by a "Principle of Magical Potential Activation Elixir" provided by the Alchemy Laboratory under the Black Fire Company.
This paper directly publishes the first, second, and third generation formulations of magical potential activation potions, and explains in detail the role of each ingredient in the overall activation of magical potential. At the same time, it also describes in detail the elemental sensing elements in the human body, and what kind of stimuli are easy to change from a dormant state to an active state. For the first time, it also proposed the idea of concocting an exclusive magical potential activation potion according to the different nature of each person's elemental sensing element......
In addition to these, the alchemy laboratory of the Black Fire Company also announced a piece of good news. They developed a very inexpensive "Convenient Magical Potential Activation Potion" that would soon be available for sale as an everyday drink. This drink is named "Mana", which can activate elemental sensors for a period of time so that people who do not have mana can gain mana, and long-term consumption can also cause a part of the elemental sensors to be permanently activated.
Although the magic obtained through "returning to the mana" cannot release magic, it is no problem to use some daily alchemy tools. The magic was available to all, laying the foundation for the widespread use of the multi-cylinder piston steam engine being developed.
And the shocking thing is...... Young Master Liang, the boss of the Black Fire Company, transferred the production and sales of the "Huimo" drink to the "University Alliance" free of charge.
The high cost of learning magic makes most people in this world have no magic, and magic is something that no one can refuse. When a cheap drink that makes you get magic when you drink it, how many people can resist the temptation to get magic in a short time for a few bucks? In addition, drinking it for a long time can also permanently gain mana. Although there is less magic, no one is willing to invest in it.
It's something that everyone needs, it's something that only Blackfire has.
It is conceivable that just a cheap "Huimo" drink can make Blackfire a world-class company. Behind immeasurable wealth, there are also immeasurable political interests.
But Young Master Liang, the owner of the Black Fire Company, gave the "Demon Return" to the "University Alliance" without blinking, and now just the dividends of the "Demon Return" are enough to meet all the expenses of these magic academies.
"The Principle of Magical Potential Activation Elixir" made "Energy News" a hot seller, and everyone was looking forward to the listing of "Returning Magic", and at the same time, they were all envious of those magic academies who joined the "University Alliance". Now they really hugged their thick thighs and turned over in one fell swoop......
In order to repay Dean Liang's generosity, all the magic academies that joined the "University Alliance" participated more actively in the formation of the "Alliance". The Wharf Magic Academy has taken out the "Returning Magic", and they no longer hide their secrets, and provide the best magicians for the "Scientific Research Institute" set up by the "Alliance" in the Wharf Magic Academy......
The "University Alliance" quickly took shape and developed, and Da Liang turned to contact Anne to apply for another large loan from the Imperial Bank with the future sales of "returning to the devil".
Da Liang's operation during this period of time made Anne feel a little suffocated.
The acquisition of the Dock Magic Academy and the blocking of the Saloyan Academy of Magic are already very big moves...... How did it pop up in a blink of an eye, and a "Saroyan University Alliance" popped up.
The fourth-generation magical potential activation potion is enough to make a sensation in the world...... How in a blink of an eye, you took out another "return to the devil"!
Anyway, we are allies, what do you want to do, or what good things you want to do, can you say hello in advance and let me prepare in advance. Always engage in surprise attacks, and my heart can't stand it!
Coming to the villa on Avenue Elysée, in the face of Da Liang's loan request, Anne couldn't help complaining: "Master Liang...... You only think of me when you can't borrow money, and forget me when you make money.
The million gold pounds I gave you at the beginning were my own money. Of course, for the sake of the Empire, the Whitehead family deserves this money.
I can see that you are doing something big, and on behalf of the Empire, I want to cooperate with you in full. I believe in the strength of the Empire, and I will be able to help you realize your plan as soon as possible......"
