Chapter 13: I don't have time to play with them
No matter how resentful Freya's eyes were, three days later, Steele left the Duchy of Stantin and headed for the kingdom of Lampari again.
In the past three days, she and Xu Yi held several consultation meetings in the Magic Research Institute, and determined the standards and requirements of the new generation of magic illusion projectors.
After Xu Yi's suggestion, the new generation of magic illusion projectors will be divided into two categories.
One is the magic illusion projector that can project super-large illusions, which is specially provided for major opera houses to play illusion films.
The other category is much smaller and is mainly intended for home use.
According to Xu Yi's thoughts, it is actually the difference between movies and television.
Steele's requirements are much more specific, such as her requirement that the projection of magical illusions must not be influenced by the outside environment.
For example, when the Crescent Chamber of Commerce was showing a fantasy film in a city in the Kingdom of Lampari, it happened to encounter a torrential rain.
As a result, under the torrential rain, not only did the projected illusion become extremely blurry, and it was not clear at all, but even the projection device itself in use was affected to a certain extent and almost malfunctioned.
For example, she also asked the magic illusion projector to be able to automatically loop different illusion movies, so that she could save the manpower to replace it constantly.
Another example......
......
Of course, it was clear that these demands could not be resolved in a short period of time, so Steele only made demands, but did not specify when he hoped to be resolved.
In contrast, her most important job now is to make the people of the surrounding countries aware and understand and accept the novelty of illusion films.
So she's busy. Even the time spent at home in the past six months has not added up to more than a month.
Xu Yi was helpless about this situation.
He offered to support Steele in finding his own job. Now Steele has finally found a career he loves. How could he run to get 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, Lis, Linda, and their children William, Sandy, Betty, and Carol with Xu Yi's children William, Sandy, Betty, Carlo, and the family went overseas for a tour, and the next morning, there were immediately a bunch of things to come to the door.
"Grow up. The construction of the magic communication network in the Duchy of Stantin is now more than half complete, and there is no place to cover the magic communication signal at present, only here is left, and there is still ...... here"
The team led by Akali is responsible for the research of the magic communication network, but the actual erection of the magic signal tower, as well as the construction of the corresponding supporting magic wave signal transfer war, etc., are completed by the construction team jointly formed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Amrley Chamber of Commerce.
The head of the construction team is the veteran construction supervisor Ompes, who has been transferred from the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, and has a wealth of experience in construction, and is now directly responsible for Xu Yi, who is currently in charge of the construction of the magical communication network between the Duchy of Stantin and the Kingdom of Lampari.
Look at the places that-Ompes has pointed out on the map. Xu Yi frowned slightly.
"It's these guys again...... When you went to erect the Magic Tower, how did they respond?" asked Xu Yi.
"These nobles are quite polite on the surface. They say that these places are no longer their private domain, and that they can't control it now that Congress has decided to erect a magic signal tower here. But ......"
Speaking of this,-Ompes sighed and shook his head, looking a little dissatisfied, but more helpless.
"In fact, when we set up a magic tower, we always had all kinds of troubles. For example, we will always be blocked on the way to transport supplies for various reasons, and the residents next to us will have nothing to do to make trouble...... In short, all kinds of things have made our progress extremely slow, and even the most serious places have not even laid the foundation of the magic signal tower. β
"Are you sure that these nobles are behind the scenes?" Xu Yi asked.
"This ...... I'm sure, but I can't find any actual evidence. Besides, even if they find evidence, they won't admit it. Director Umpes was even more helpless. "I've approached those nobles to help me solve these problems. But they all said that these places were no longer their private domain, and they couldn't care about it. β
"Heh, these guys are really still very resentful. Xu Yi laughed instead, thought for a moment, and reached out on the map to point to the places that Director Apes pointed out just now. "You go to Kennard in a moment and ask him to take you to Captain Hart and discuss how many people you should bring there. β
"Captain Hart?" Director Ompes was taken aback. "Grown, it's not enough to send out a convoy......
"We didn't arrive, but we didn't have that much free time to play with them. The construction of the magic communication network is just as important to me as the laying of the road transportation network, and I will not allow anyone to delay the progress. Xu Yi's face was calm, but the words he said were full of murderous aura. "Sue SΓΉhart, if anyone dares to stop the trouble, I will allow him to use a single means without harming ordinary civilians. β
Hearing the meaning of Xu Yi's words, Director Weng Peisi couldn't help but shake his body.
Is this going on a killing spree?
Xu Yi didn't pay attention to Director Wengpei's reaction, looked at the map again, and asked, "Sue me, if there are no obstacles, how long will it take to complete the erection of the magic signal tower inside the Duchy of Stantin?"
Director Ompers 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 success of the magic communication network, it depends on the situation on the side of the Magic Research Institute. β
"Well, that's not your business. And what about the Lampari Kingdom?"
Hearing Xu Yi ask about the Lampari Kingdom, Director Ompes looked a little strange.
"The Lampari Kingdom is much more agreeable, because both the Lampari Kingdom royal family and the Kingdom Council have set up a magical communication network and are very supportive. The nobles in the kingdom are also very active, and many even reached out to me, hoping that we can prioritize the erection of the magic signal tower in their territory. β
"Hey, these guys are much more discerning than the shit in the Principality of Stantin. Xu Yi shook his head, looking also a little helpless.
Because the current main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is in the Principality of Stantin, he actually wants to use the Principality of Stanting as the main base to cultivate and build, but in the various things that have happened in the past few years, the various old noble lords in the Principality of Stantin have made trouble for him and created obstacles.
Not to mention that the distant Grand Duke of Weilun has tried to counter the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce many times, and the various noble lords in the Duchy of Stanting have tried to create obstacles to the work of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce everywhere, delaying the progress of many work.
Last time, Ankru privately united many noble lords to oppose the erection of the magic signal tower, which angered Xu Yihou, not only dragged Ankru directly from the position of speaker of parliament, but also simply abolished the system of nobles' private domains in the Duchy of Stantin.
This practice obviously made these nobles in the Duchy of Stantin extremely dissatisfied, although they did not dare to resist on the surface, but in private there must have been many complaints.
This time to create obstacles to the work of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to promote the laying of the magic communication network, it can also be regarded as a kind of venting.
Xu Yi was actually very puzzled by their thoughts.
Since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce entered the Duchy of Stantin, it has brought huge benefits to the entire Duchy of Stantin.
The various noble lords who cooperated with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have made a lot of money through various rubber processing factories, fruit canning factories, and even simply planting large areas of farmland.
However, in this way, they are still dissatisfied with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is really a bit unreasonable.
Xu Yi can only explain this as the innate rejection of outsiders by the indigenous people......
"What about the Ruerson Kingdom?" Xu Yi asked Director Apes again.
"We have preliminarily completed the topographical exploration of the western part of the Ruerson Kingdom, and now we can start construction as long as the Magic Research Institute is ready and approved by the Council of the Ruerson Kingdom. Director Ompes replied.
"Well, that's pretty smooth overall. But how are your menpower?
As soon as he heard the word "human man", Director Ompes immediately smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Lord, do you think it is enough?"
Xu Yi was speechless.
The manpower problem is not limited to the main production of magic machinery in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, it should be said that it is a big problem in all the emerging industries involved in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce at present.
But the right people have to take time to cultivate, and there is no rush to come by no matter what.
"Okay, let's go first. The laying of the magical communication network in the Duchy of Stanting is obviously the first priority, followed by the Kingdom of Lampari, and the Kingdom of Ruerson can take a step back and wait until the completion of the installation in the Duchy of Stantin. Xu Yidao.
"Understood, that's the plan I'm specifying right now. β
"Well, time is precious, so we can't afford to waste it on messing with all that waste. Ompes, I asked Hart to go with you this time, I just don't want you to have any further delays, do you know what I mean?"
"Understood. β
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 was a hassle, but he wouldn't mind teaching them another hard lesson if they did try to continue to hinder his push for the magic industry to grow in the Duchy of Statein.
Even if this lesson will cost some people blood...... (To be continued......)
