As it turned out, Xu Yi guessed right.

After a day at Baron Ricto's Academy of Magic, Xu Yi not only signed a contract with the thirteen students who received the bursary fund, allowing them to become employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from then on, but also fully twenty-four graduates also expressed their desire to work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi naturally couldn't reply to them immediately, but asked them to prepare first and go to Sanchiton Manor three days later to be evaluated.

In fact, Xu Yi really wanted to say nothing and directly recruit these twenty 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 Ricto's Academy of Magic is not the top magic academy in the Lampari Kingdom, it is much stronger than the Senkoherre Academy where Xu Yi was before.

Students who can graduate from here generally have at least the strength of second-level magicians, and there are even many who have the strength of third-level or even fourth-level magicians.

If these students are recruited into the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and then cultivated for a period of time, then the Magic Research Institute will definitely be enriched with a large number of personnel.

Of course, recruiting these students into the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just the beginning.

In view of the fact that the Chamber of Commerce will need a larger number of magicians in the future, or to be precise, the needs of magical mechanical engineers, Xu Yi, after careful consideration, simply negotiated with the management of Baron Rictor's Academy of Magic, and finally decided to open another magical mechanical branch within the academy.

As the name suggests, this academy is all about magical machinery.

In order to establish this branch, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must provide 10,000 gold coins per year to Baron Ricto's Academy of Magic.

Wait until the summer passes. When Baron Ricto's Academy of Magic begins to recruit a new batch of students, this branch should attract some students to sign up.

And wait until the students of the Magical Machinery Branch will graduate from the academy in the future. Then the only way out that can be chosen by them is to carry out work related to magic machinery.

"Invest 10,000 gold coins every year. Just for the sake of so many students who may show up, it doesn't seem to be a good deal, right?" Steele expressed his doubts to Xu Yi on the way back.

"When you enter the school in the fall, even if there is only one student who applies for the Magic Machinery Branch, it means that the investment of 10,000 gold coins is worth it. Xu Yi smiled. "The symbolism of this branch is far greater than the actual meaning at the moment, and I just want to understand that this branch tells the children who want to learn magic that magic is not just a powerful and destructive thing, but also a completely different way of using it. Wait until this concept gradually takes root in the hearts of the people. If it is understood by the public, then there will be more and more students in this branch. ”

"But that's going to take years, right?" said Steele again. "Is it really worth it?"

"No way. Creating a complete industrial system is a very time-consuming project, and all I can do is lay the foundation little by little. As for when it will bear fruit, then I am not sure. ”

After a pause, Xu Yi said again: "Actually, if it weren't for the fact that our Chamber of Commerce doesn't have so much money now, I would even want to open an academy that specializes in learning magical machinery knowledge, and then recruit those children with magical talents, and instill in them all kinds of knowledge related to magical machinery from an early age." To know. The knowledge contained in magic machines is far more than magic, and there is a lot of theoretical knowledge of machinery that needs to be learned. If it's just halfway through, it's not very effective. ”

"Well, I know it now. Steele nodded. "I've been busy with advertising for the last few months. It's rare to go to the research institute to conduct magic array research with Evita and the others. I went there two days ago and found out what Evita and Akali were discussing, and I didn't understand it at all!"

Xu Yi smiled. Scratched Steele's nose: "It's normal if you don't understand." Evita: They spend a lot of time researching every day, and recently came up with two new technologies that even surprised me. If only you were a lazy guy could keep up with them. That's called unfairness. ”

Steele snorted lightly, wrinkled his small nose and said, "Give me some time." I'm sure I'll be able to catch up with them. By the way, you just told the shopkeeper who sells clothes that the new generation of Xinfei Magic Air Conditioner will use a new technology that can adjust the temperature at will, is it related to these two technologies that Evita and her sisters have recently developed?"

"Well, the function of being able to adjust the temperature is thanks 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 transmitting magic power to the magic array, so as to control the power of the magic array at will. In terms of the magic air conditioner, it is able to adjust the power of the frost and cold circle in the magic air conditioner at will, so it can adjust the temperature of the wind blown out by the magic air conditioner. Xu also explained.

Steele thought for a moment and couldn't help but exclaim, "If that's the case, it's really remarkable." I just thought about this technique casually, and I found that there are many places where it can be used. No wonder you're surprised. ”

"Hmm. I thought it would take a long time for Evita and them to solve this problem, but I didn't expect them to solve it so quickly, which is really amazing. Xu Yi nodded and praised. "Actually, if you really want to talk about it, there is another remote magic transmission technology that is much more important than the magic input power gradient technology. It's not a good reflection yet, but when they dig deeper into this technology, you will find that this technology can make a new change in your whole life!"

"Really?" Steele looked at Xu Yi, whose eyes lit up, and hugged him with a serious face, "Okay, I'll wait and see." ”

It's not easy to see the use of remote magic technology, but it's easy to see the difference between a road and a normal road.

When all the twenty-four students of Baron Ricto's Academy of Magic passed the application review and entered the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to start working, President Cruise finally brought Xu Yi great news.

The rainy highway is finally completed!

It should be said that the efficiency of the Amritri Chamber of Commerce is very high, and the road from Bangta City to the Falling Rain Valley was finally completed with a total length of 57 kilometers, but the Amritri Chamber of Commerce only took a short period of more than three months.

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 was eventually changed to 20 centimeters, and the concrete-poured pavement was flat and neat, with hardly any potholes visible.

As far as the eye can see, the entire highway stretches like a white ribbon from Bonta City all the way to the horizon in the distance, which is spectacular and beautiful.

The only drawback is that although the road has been widened, it is still less than four meters wide, and on the earth, it can only be regarded as a two-lane road at most, and it can only be regarded as a country road.

Compared with those six-lane or even ten-lane national highways and even highways, the gap is extremely huge.

But for the Sainz continent, this is the first highway, and it has a very important significance.

When the Amrley Chamber of Commerce and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced the completion of the entire Falling Rain Highway and held a ribbon-cutting ceremony outside the city of Bonta, even the lord of the city, Count Satsuma, took the initiative to participate in the ceremony and delivered a speech at the ceremony, highly praising the significance of the road.

In fact, there is no need for Count Satsuma to praise it at all, just by looking at it, everyone can see that this road, which is as flat as the surface of the water, is undoubtedly countless times better than those ordinary roads paved with gravel and earth.

When the completion ceremony of the Falling Rain Highway was over, countless people stepped on the road with their feet, but they could not feel any unevenness from the soles of their feet, and they were even more amazed.

And when some of the nobles and representatives of the chamber of commerce in Bonta City, who were invited by President Xu Yi and President Cruise, to take a horse-drawn carriage and start galloping on this road, this amazement turned into shock.

The horse led the carriage on the highway at high speed, and there was not the slightest bump in the carriage!

This is compared to sitting in a carriage in the past, almost turning people upside down, it is simply the difference between heaven and hell!

In addition, driving on such a flat road, the impact of the horse-drawn carriage on the speed due to the unevenness of the ground is minimized, and the speed can be said to be more than twice as high as on ordinary roads.

Mark Pompeiy, the president of the Filson Carriage and Horse Company, only experienced a short period of effort, and immediately found Xu Yi, who was talking to the Count of Satsuma, and said to Xu Yi bluntly, regardless of the fact that the Count of Satsuma was next to him: "President Xu, I heard that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has contracted to build a road from Bonta City to Kalmar City?"

Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "That's right." What, is President Pompeiy interested?"

President Pomberg continued, "Then may I ask President Xu, how much do you plan to invest in this highway?"

Xu Yi touched his chin, thought for a moment and replied, "It's not clear how much." But because the road condition of this road is a little more complicated, and I want to make this road wider, according to the estimate of the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, the current total estimate should be around 300,000 gold coins. ”

"About 300,000 gold coins...... President Pompeii lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly turned his head to look at Count Satsuma, and said: "Lord City, our Filson Carriage and Horse Shop is now willing to contribute to the Lampari Kingdom of Bangta City like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It has been decided to fund the construction of a road from Bonta City to Saltan City, and I ask for the consent of the Lord of the City!" (To be continued......
