Chapter 154: The Chamber of Commerce with the Most Mages
For the next week, Xu Yi stayed in Anweimar City.
In addition to being summoned by Sevigny every day to discuss with her about the joint venture factory between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampari Kingdom, it is more important to determine the details of the construction of the first demon-mending station.
This so-called demon replenishment station is actually equivalent to a gas station on the earth.
More than 10,000 of the various magic locomotives produced by the New Flying Chamber have been sold in the Lampari Kingdom, and the new flying brand can be found on almost every road.
However, the power consumption of the magic locomotive far exceeds that of ordinary household magic machines, and with the size of the power reserve box of most of the new flying magic locomotives, at most it can only carry no more than forty liters of magic crystals.
Even if all the high-quality magic crystals are used, they can only support the magic locomotive to travel less than 200 kilometers in a row, and it will be completely consumed.
So now, these magic locomotives are in motion, and they can only be guaranteed to go back and forth between the two cities, just to be able to replenish them in time when the magic crystals are exhausted.
This significantly reduced the scope of application of the Magic Locomotive, and thus limited the sales of the new Feifei Magic Locomotive.
And if a network of demon-replenishing stations can be built in the Lampari Kingdom, these magic locomotives can run freely in the Lampari Kingdom without any scruples, making the coverage of magic locomotives greatly expanded.
Moreover, the magic replenishment station set up by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce provides a high-concentration magic crystal that has been refined, and if this magic crystal is used, it is also forty liters in volume, but it can increase the cruising range of the magic locomotive from two hundred kilometers to nearly five hundred kilometers. The house has more than doubled.
Moreover, compared with high-quality magic crystals, the price of this high-concentration magic crystal is only less than half. Just do the math. You also know which magic crystal is more cost-effective.
In addition, this high concentration of magic crystals is not just used in magic locomotives.
According to Xu Yi's plan, all kinds of magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the future will use high-concentration magic crystals as the power source, and this standard will be promoted, so that the magic machinery produced by other chambers of commerce will also adopt the same standard.
In this way, it can not only save a lot of R&D cost investment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but more importantly, it can make the high-concentration magic crystals produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce the only choice for all magic machines.
According to Xu Yi's statement to Sevigny, this is equivalent to controlling the most important energy source, the magic crystal.
Of course. Sevini is not stupid, and naturally can see the huge impact of this incident on the Lampari Kingdom, so when Xu Yi proposed that the Lampari Kingdom implement energy standards, Sevini immediately asked Xu Yi to transfer the technology of magic crystal refining.
Xu Yi naturally would not agree to transfer technology, because it involved fundamentals, but he agreed to let the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cooperate with the Lampari Kingdom to build three magic crystal refining factories in the Lampari Kingdom, so that the Lampari Kingdom has the ability to refine high-concentration magic crystals on its own.
Of course, this approach also involves some technology transfer. As a result, the issues discussed by Xu Yi and Sevigny in each meeting these days are mainly focused on the depth and shallowness of the technology involved.
Sevigny naturally hopes for a full transfer on the part of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Xu Yi hopes that the Lampari Kingdom will get as little as possible.
After many consultations, the two sides preliminarily determined that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would divide the refined high-concentration magic crystals into five grades.
Among the five magic crystal refining factories jointly built with the Lampari Kingdom, the refining technology of primary and secondary high-concentration magic crystals will be opened to the Lampari Kingdom, but the last three levels will be kept secret for the time being.
In order to obtain these technologies, the Lampari Kingdom paid the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce the mining rights of the five magic crystal mines in the kingdom for a period of fifty years.
Judging from the current shape, these five magic crystal mines are actually not valuable, and they will not add up to more than one million gold coins.
However, if it continues to develop according to Xu Yi's estimate, the value of these five magic crystal mines will increase several times or even dozens of times, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will naturally gain enough benefits from them.
During the tense discussions with Sevigny, Xu Yi also met with the Grand Wizard of Eisenka several times, and with his profound research in magical machinery, he gave a lot of valuable advice to the magic speeder, which greatly inspired the Grand Wizard of Eisenka.
Not to mention, the change in the auxiliary magic array proposed by Xu Yi alone has reduced the energy consumption of the magic car when it is activated by at least 30%.
In addition to these two things, Xu Yi also came to Anweimar City this time for a very important matter, that is, to participate in the annual magician qualification certification examination.
Of course, with Xu Yi's current strength far beyond the ordinary ninth-level magician, and even infinitely close to the strength of the great magician, he is not here to participate in the assessment for himself, but to recruit talents for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in terms of magicians.
Except for last year, when the Lampari Kingdom fell into turmoil, and even the magician qualification examination was blocked and forced to be cancelled, in the rest of the years, every year in the Lampari Kingdom's magician qualification examination, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will have a bunch of researchers from the Magic Research Institute and magicians in various factories who are responsible for drawing magic arrays to participate.
Every year at this time, the arrival of a large group of great magicians of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce wearing uniform will cause a sensation in Anweimar City.
This year is especially true of this.
If you count everyone, the total number of people who came to participate in the magician qualification certification assessment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this year is actually more than a thousand!
Although only more than 200 of them are qualified to participate in the high-level magician qualification certification examination, and the remaining more than 700 can only participate in the low-level magician qualification certification examination, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce alone can have more than a thousand magicians, which is shocking enough.
What's more, for various reasons, there are still many magicians in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who did not come to participate.
If all of them were to be dispatched, the total would even exceed two thousand!
Not to mention that in the Lampari Kingdom, even in the entire Sainz continent, there will be no second chamber of commerce that can have such a large number of magicians.
Although most of them were low-level mages, such a terrifying number was still extremely staggering.
Unlike other chambers of commerce, the magicians hired by other chambers of commerce are all to protect the safety of the chamber of commerce, but the magicians hired by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are really doing general work for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as in previous years, took the opportunity of the Lampari Kingdom Magician Qualification Examination to hype up in Anweimar City and recruit magicians for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, most of the magicians who participated in the qualification assessment were moved.
Finally, after a week-long qualification assessment, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce finally recruited a total of 261 magicians to join the Chamber of Commerce.
Of the two hundred and sixty-one magicians, seventy-three were high-level magicians of level six and above, and the remaining one hundred and eighty-eight magicians were low-level magicians of levels three to five.
As for the magicians below the third level, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce signed a preliminary agreement with more than five hundred of them.
Once these magicians have reached the qualification of a third-level magician, they can choose to join the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
This is a win-win choice for both the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and these magicians.
The New Flying Chamber of Commerce now continues to expand its production capacity, and a large number of mages are needed to join in to improve manpower.
Most of these magicians actually have no regular income, and many magicians can only find ways to earn money on their own in order to support their magic research.
And because they are not high in rank and strength, whether it is to participate in the adventure team or work for other chambers of commerce, they are slightly insufficient, so in fact, most mages have a very difficult time.
There are not many people on the continent of Sainz who have the talent of magicians, but most of them can only give up halfway, in fact, because of money.
Now that there is a new flying chamber of commerce, these magicians can get a stable job, with a minimum annual income of more than two hundred gold coins, which is enough to obtain a relatively superior daily life while still having the spare energy to devote to the consumption of magic research.
What's more, the work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also involves all kinds of magic issues, which is also equivalent to conducting magic research.
So for the vast majority of magicians who are not in good economic conditions, getting a job at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is something they dream of.
What's more, there are two great magicians, Camilla and Truqi Magician, in the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
If you can enter the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, you will obviously have a lot of opportunities to contact these two great magicians.
If you could take these opportunities to ask the two great magicians more questions about magic, wouldn't you be able to make great progress in your magic strength?
Maybe...... After working in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for a few years, or even more than ten years, I also hope to become a great magician admired by thousands of people!
These magicians who chose to join the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not expect that the two great magicians they were thinking about in their hearts would quietly come to Anweimar City on the afternoon of the day when the magician qualification certification examination was completely over.
When he saw the two great magicians, Xu was also very surprised.
Aren't these two great magicians researching a new type of fire-based magic engine in the Falling Rain Valley outside Bonta City, knocking on the appearance of the two of them, Xu Yi thought that they would not leave for a long time, but he didn't expect that they would come to Anweimar City after being separated for less than half a month.
Xu Yi thought that the two of them had made some new breakthroughs in the research and development of the fire-based magic engine, or that they had encountered some problems, and wanted to come to him to discuss.
However, after asking, he received an answer that was completely surprising to him, surprising him, but extremely happy. (To be continued......)
