Chapter 150: Historical Names
The New Year is less than half a month away, and even if people in Bangta City usually focus on their work because of the high salary, at this time, most people still start to prepare for the New Year and stop their work.
Akali announced the start of a holiday for her two research groups two days ago, and then spent the past two days busy processing the follow-up research work after the members left, and making a year-end summary report by the way.
Xu Yi attaches great importance to the work of the Magic Research Institute, not only usually to look at the summary report of their work results every once in a while, but also to hand over a summary of all the research and development work in the research institute at the end of the year, and also to evaluate the research and development progress in the coming year to determine the general research direction in the next year.
Akali's last favorite thing when she was in the academy was this kind of writing work.
But she is now the leader of two research groups, and this report is only done by her, and no one else is qualified.
Besides, Akali is also very willing to show herself in front of Xu Yi, so although the year-end report is very boring for her, she still insists on completing it with a very serious attitude every year.
Writing the last word of the report, Akali stretched long.
The completion of this report means that this year's work can be completed.
In the next time, even if it is officially entering the annual leave, you can take a good rest for a while.
Glancing at the gloomy weather outside the window, Akali thought to herself that it might snow again today.
When she thought of the snow, she thought of her hometown in the northern part of the kingdom. If nothing else. It should have been covered in snow at the moment.
And think of hometown. Akali's heart involuntarily felt a sense of homesickness.
Although she is very happy to work at the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and has a lot of salary, because she is too far away from her hometown, she can only go back during the Chinese New Year every year.
Now that I haven't seen my relatives at home for a year, Akali still misses it very much.
"Just go back and pack your things in a while, and go home tomorrow." ”
Akali's personality has always been to do what she says, and after packing up the things in the research room, she walks to the dean's office with the research summary report she has written.
The year-end report of each research group is given to Dean Evita. and then she handed it over to Xu Yi, and Akali was no exception.
When I came to the dean's office, I saw that the door was closed.
Then I came to the Evita special research room next to me to take a look, although the door was not locked, but there was no Evita inside.
Akali rolled her eyes and turned around and walked outside the Magic Academy.
Since Evita wasn't in the office or the research room, she was supposed to be in that place.
Walking out of the Magic Academy, Akali found that the Falling Rain Valley was now much quieter than usual, but the workers were on vacation.
Although the new flying chamber of commerce has a large backlog of orders, it is facing the problem of annual leave. Xu Yi made it clear at the meeting before leaving that the work task is heavy. The New Year's holiday could not be delayed, so after Xu Yi left, the CEO of the Chamber of Commerce announced that all factories of the Chamber of Commerce would be closed for the holiday.
Although a large number of chambers of commerce, including many chambers of commerce in Bangta City, who had placed orders with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, were dissatisfied with this decision, since Xu Yi had already decided, the other chambers of commerce were helpless.
After all, apart from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the magic machinery products they wanted could not be provided by other chambers of commerce at all.
Akali was very supportive of Xu Yi's decision, and praised Xu Yi in private, but in exchange for Xu Yi's wry smile.
"Now that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the dominant one, I can still be arrogant and ignore the feelings of our customers. But in fact, this approach is not good, what I am more happy to see is that the competition in this industry is fierce, and our chamber of commerce must comply with the customers who place orders, and in the end, even if you want to take a holiday, you must consider the consequences. ”
Akali didn't understand what Xu Yi's worry was, she only knew that if according to Xu Yi's words, then at least for a few years, there was no need to look at other people's faces if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wanted to take a holiday.
As a Level 3 researcher at the Magic Research Institute of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and leading two research groups on her own, Akali knows better than most people how terrifying the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is in terms of technology compared to other chambers of commerce that also want to produce magical machinery.
At the very least, what Evita is currently researching, there is absolutely no chamber of commerce, or even one person, except for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Even in the Magic Research Institute of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, only Evita and a few dwarves, including Canby, are currently studying this thing, and even Akali is not involved.
After leaving the Academy of Magic, Akali headed deeper into the Rainfall Valley.
Because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has built various factories, the location of the Luoyu Valley near the mouth of the valley has been basically developed, but the Luoyu Valley covers an area of more than ten square kilometers, and there is still a large area in it that has not been developed.
Now in the depths of the valley, in addition to being roughly bulldozed to facilitate future development, the rest of the place is not much different from the original ecology before.
Not far out of the industrial area, Akali looked up and saw a black dot scurrying back and forth in the sky not far ahead.
Walking in the direction of the black dot for a while, Akali found Evita on a bare hill staring at the black dot in the sky.
"Hey, standing so high, aren't you too cold?"
Evita didn't even notice that someone was coming to her, and was obviously taken aback when she heard Akali's voice.
After seeing that it was Akali, Evita glared at her, "Why did you come here to find me?"
"Well, after the report is written, I was about to hand it over to you, but I found out that you were not in the research institute, so I knew that you must have gone outside to do real work again. Akali glanced up at the black dot that circled back and forth in the sky, and asked, "How is it?
Evita shook her head in annoyance: "It's okay to take off and fly slowly in the air, but now there is still a problem with ensuring a long battery life." Just like it is now. At most, you can only fly for two hours. Problems arise. Either the mana crystal mana supply is unstable. Either it's because the internal deformation of the test airship affects the deformation of the magic array, and there are a lot of problems. ”
"How do I think these are not the problems of our Magic Academy?" Akali wondered. "The problem of materials should obviously be managed by the Materials Research Institute. ”
"That's not going to work. Evita shook her head. "The chairman said that material research takes the most time, and it is difficult to make improvements in a short period of time, so I can only think of ways based on existing materials. For example, I'm thinking about whether to add an extra earth-based magic circle to the parts that are easy to deform to increase the hardness of the material, so that it can last for a while longer. ”
"Isn't there a wind magic array attached to this thing as a power output? If you add another earth-based magic array, it's easy to have conflicts, isn't it much more difficult?"
"There's always a way to overcome the difficulty, and it's much better than the material problem that can't be solved at all. Evita smiled. "Isn't the problem that the Magic Research Institute needs to solve is the problem of magic, as for the other problems, we can't take care of it. ”
Akali muttered in a low voice, and said with some indignation: "The elder is also true, always has high requirements for our magic research institute, you see the group under me that studies the magic array resonance technology, the elder will only tell them to study this thing thoroughly, and it is best to come up with a detailed number system." He was such a strong magician himself. Don't you know how hard it is to get a detailed system of numbers for magic?"
"That proves the president expects from you, doesn't it?" said Evita with a pursed lips. "And isn't the chairman himself sorting out the theoretical system in this area? In the book "Discussion on the Basics of the Magical Mechanical Power System" published last month, there are actually many descriptions of this aspect. I think...... He's actually thinking a lot longer than we have to think about it. ”
"Hmph. He's so capable, so if he goes to research alone, what else do you want us researchers to do?"
Looking at the angry Akali, Evita shook her head with a smile, and gently pressed the remote control in her hand, and the black dot in the sky began to slow down, and then slowly fell.
When he descended to a height where he could see clearly, he realized that the black dot was actually an oval-shaped magic airship.
If Xu Yi was here, he would definitely recognize that this thing looked exactly the same as the model of the magic airship he had hit his head in Evita's research room before, but the size was far from the same.
The model that bumped into Xu Yi before was not as long as the palm of his hand, but now this one is more than three meters long and about one meter wide, and there is a groove left in the middle, so there is no problem for a person to sit in.
Akali was also a little dumbfounded as she watched the magic airship model slowly fall in front of her.
"Hey, Evita, I haven't been here in a while, you've made this real machine so big?" said Akali as she walked over and looked inside the magic airship, even more surprised. "Wow! There's such a big piece of iron in there, and it can fly so high? It's too strong, isn't it?"
"This piece of iron is only a hundred pounds, and it doesn't weigh anyone. Evita shook her head. "My goal in researching this magic airship is to take ordinary people to soar in the sky, but this is still far from it. ”
Akali sighed twice and praised: "If you really research this thing and can fly into the sky with ordinary people, then you will be great! I think that when that time comes, your name will be written in the history of the entire continent!"
Evita gave her a blank look: "The president has said a long time ago that you have developed the magic array resonance technology, and in the history of this continent, your name can already be engraved." ”
Akali grinned, "What? Are you jealous of me?"
Evita shook her head slowly: "If I really want to be jealous, then I won't be jealous of you, but I should be jealous of the president." No matter what the two of us come up with, I don't think our names will be more deeply engraved in the history of this continent than his. ”
Akali was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly. (To be continued......)
