"So much?!" Summer night startled. Even the "Thunder Knight" only costs 100 mos when used once.

"But why do we use the crystal ball to communicate, and we hardly need to consume the Mol?" She asked again.

Curren said: "That's because the 'Aether Exploration' has established the Mol Net in Debussota, and the cost of maintaining the Mol Net is quite high, but correspondingly, the people who use it to transmit information do not need to consume additional mana. ”

"But 'Aether Exploration' can't be a loss-making deal, right?" Although this topic is a bit off-topic, since we talked about this, it is time to make it clear.

"Of course." Curran nodded, "With the Moer Network, most of everyone's transactions are carried out using the Moer Network, after all, it is much more convenient and safer than other methods, and the 'Ether Exploration' will charge fees for most large transactions......"

"Huh, is there one?" Summer Night thought about it carefully, and it seemed that whether it was buying a broomstick or auctioning whale oil and whales, there was no handling fee.

Curran guessed what she was thinking and smiled: "Actually, there are, but most of them are more subtle." For example, if you buy a broom, Aether Exploration will charge a fee for each broom sold by the major broom manufacturers in BRM and Stuttgart, because the charge is not for the buyer, so you can't feel it, but in fact, the broom manufacturer will not suffer in vain, they will convert this part of the cost into the selling price of the broom.

"As for the auction of whale oil and whales, since the transaction is executed by the exchange, the commission will also be charged to the exchange, and the exchange will count this magic in the transaction commission.

"Even if you inject capital, our company will have to pay a handling fee to 'Aether Exploration' next."

"I see...... "Summer Night roughly understood that this was actually the tax collected by the "Aether Exploration" to the entire De Bussota.

Curran continued: "All in all, even if you only charge a fee, it is enough to cover the cost of maintaining the Mor Net, not to mention, for the 'Aether Exploration', the Moll Net has a more important meaning - since the vast majority of transactions are completed by the Moll Net, and the vast majority of information is transmitted by the More Net, this means that the 'Aether Exploration' can rely on the control of the Moll Net, and easily grasp the vast majority of the information in Debsota, which is indispensable for maintaining their rule." ”

Summer Night nodded, indicating that she understood. Even if Curran didn't say it, she had already noticed it - in Debussota, if there was something important, everyone would not talk in detail in the crystal ball, but would choose to talk in person, and if it needed more secrecy, they would simply agree to meet in the Aether Sea.

The same is true for trading, all transactions in the black market use crystal tokens, not through the Moor network, which is naturally to prevent the monitoring of "Ether exploration".

To paraphrase the words of the old world, it is probably "Big Company is Watching You"~

Summer Night brings the topic back on track: "So, is it possible to build a Moor net centered on a whaling ship?" ”

"Hardly possible." Curran shook his head: "Actually, we don't even know what kind of contracts were used to build the Moer Net. The reason why 'Aether Exploration' is able to rule Debussota is because they have a monopoly on three things: Mana Drilling, Mor's Net, and the development and encapsulation of the Witch's Contract. ”

"Corresponding to resources, information and force?" Summer nights thoughtful.

"It can be understood that way."

"It seems that the problems of communication and positioning are more troublesome than I thought...... I'll wonder if there's another solution. Xia Ye said, "Do you have any other questions?" ”

Yaha also has a problem: "If you really want to form a team to attack the witch next, you need at least 20-30 cat witches, even if Xiu Ji can provide the eye pupil, it is not easy to find someone who is willing to eat the eye pupil, not to mention that there is a certain chance of failure." ”

"I've had a plan for this question for a long time, just leave it to me." Xia Ye smiled, "By the way, Nana sent me a message this morning to ask if the crew recruitment has started, let her come to you, you just want to ask her if she is willing to become a cat witch." ”

"Who is Nana?" Yaha didn't react for a moment.

"It's the one who said he wanted to join our fleet at the bond issuance roadshow."

"Oh...... It's her! Yaha finally remembered.

……

Time continues to move forward.

Xiu is still in full swing of test flights. Engineers recorded the performance parameters of the thrusters while refining the design details based on the problems found in the test flight.

At the same time, Curran officially gave instructions to prepare the production line of the WS-1 thruster.

Regardless of whether or not the "Helicarrier" scheme of Summer Night is adopted, it makes sense for "Far Ship Leasing" to build a thruster production line, although this is only a thruster with very small size and thrust, and most of its components are purchased directly from the black market and other places, but it marks the beginning of the beginning, and perhaps one day in the future, "Far Ship Leasing" can also be like large manufacturing plants such as BRM, completely relying on their own to manufacture the core component of the whaling ship - the ether ramjet thruster.

Nana trepided into the "Far Ship Rental" building, where she will be inspected by Yaha to determine if she is qualified to be a crew member, and if she passes, Yaha will place a box with emerald green eyes in front of her and ask her if she would like to eat it and become a cat witch.

And the person who started all this, Summer Night, is now half-leaning on the sofa at home. The white silk little feet used Lilian's black silk thighs as a cushion, and they were comfortably placed on it, and the contrast between white and black was clear.

"Sister Summer Night, you've kicked yourself in the head~" Lilian, who was watching an entertainment show, reminded.

"Huh?"

Summer Night looked away from the crystal ball screen and took a look, realizing that her feet were indeed on the back of her head, messing up her smooth pure white hair.

"That's not because you kept my head in your arms as a pillow." She feigned complaining.

At this moment, she had a head around her neck, and Lillian was holding one in her arms, leaving only one head floating on the ceiling, watching TV alone.

Lillian smiled "hehe": "But Sister Summer Night's head is really comfortable!" Much more comfortable than a pillow. As she spoke, she hugged her head tighter, burying the entire face of "Sister Summer Night" in her chest.

“…… If you like it, it's fine. ”

While chatting with Lillian on a summer night, she sent a message to Luca with a crystal ball:

[About?] 】

"Actually, I've always been curious, can you feel it holding Sister Xia Ye's head like this?" Lillian asked.

"I don't feel anything, I don't feel anything unless I put my head around my neck." Summer Night replied meritorious.

At the same time, Luca also sent a reply: [What's the matter? 】

Summer Night: [Can't you make an appointment if you're okay ()]

"In this way, it would be more fun if you felt it~" Lilian showed a disappointed expression.

Xia Ye thought for a moment: "It's more convenient that I don't feel it, like now, if it has feelings, I will feel like I'm suffocating, right?" ”

"Huh......? Yes! ”

Lillian reacted, and with some embarrassment, she removed her head from her chest, and in order not to "suffocate" it again, she simply turned it 180 degrees with her face facing outward.

[I'm sorry, I've been asking for a lot of requests lately, and I'm a little short on time. 】

Summer Night glanced at Luca's message and replied: [Just kidding. There's a big business, and we'll talk face-to-face. 】

"Sister Summer Night, can it always get a breath of fresh air?" Lillian says she's a kind header.

Xia Ye glanced at it and said with a smile: "I can breathe this way, but it is not necessarily fresh air that I breathe." ”

"Huh?"

"Because my feet are right next to it......" said Summer Night, shaking its feet wrapped in white silk mischievously, "If it had a sense of smell, it would smell the stench of sweat on the soles of its feet, right?" ”

"Not really!" Before Summer Night could react, Lillian had already grabbed her feet, leaned to her nose, and took a breath: "There is no smell of sweat at all, if you have to say it, there is a little smell of shower gel...... Hey? Sister Summer Night, why is your face red? ”

Thank you Erin for your cat and the tip of the three-day dew, thank you~
