Chapter 139 Three Cooperation Projects
At the beginning of October, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suddenly announced that it would cooperate with the Lampari Kingdom on three projects. ,
The first cooperation project is about the magic signal tower.
According to the agreement signed between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampari Kingdom, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will set up more than 100 magic power signal towers in the early stage of the Lampari Kingdom, in conjunction with the 500 magic signal towers that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will soon erect on the Black Rice Wasteland. Two magic power signal towers form a magic power fluctuation signal transmission line connecting the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Standing to the capital of the Duke of Standing, Anweimar City.
According to the situation disclosed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as long as this signal transmission line is completed, theoretically, even if people are in the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they can communicate with Anweimar, who is nearly a thousand kilometers away, through the magic communication box. People in the city have a conversation.
But at the same time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also announced another thing, that is, due to the technical limitations of the current research technology related to the magic wave signal, this kind of long-distance call cannot be opened to the public, so after this line is completed, it will only be used for a limited number of people. Dialogue between some characters.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not give a clear explanation, everyone guessed that this magic fluctuation signal transmission line, which is also called a communication line by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, is probably mainly for the purpose of letting the chairman of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce It was convenient for Xu Yi and Her Majesty Queen Sevigny of the Lampari Kingdom to communicate with each other.
However, one hundred and fifty more magic power signal towers were built in one go. The expected investment announced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce alone is as high as four million gold coins, but it is just for the convenience of Xu Yi and Her Majesty Queen Seweney. It was too extravagant.
And it is different from the gossip that ordinary people pay attention to. There are also many people in the Kingdom of Lampari that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's implementation of the magic signal tower in the Principality of Standing has been hindered. In the end, even relying on dispatching the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to suppress the opposing noble lords, it was possible to carry out the matter. Therefore, we oppose this cooperation project between the Kingdom of Lampari and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The reason why the aristocratic lords in the Duchy of Standing opposed the establishment of magic signal towers by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on their own territory was because they were worried that these magic signal towers of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and those who were notorious on this continent thousands of years ago could It is similar to some magical towers that control human minds.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce explained this, claiming that the magic power signal tower is completely different from those magic towers, and does not have such a frightening ability at all, but this is not completely convincing.
After several newspapers in the Principality of Standing reported this incident, the voice of opposition suddenly grew louder in the kingdom.
However, in the next few days, the Magician Union of the Kingdom of Lampari issued a statement through the "Anvimar Daily" and "Lampari Weekly", claiming that the Magician Union would do something about the magic signal tower that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was about to erect in the Kingdom of Lampari. a detailed review. It is confirmed that the magic circle inscribed on the magic power signal tower is only a fourth-level magic circle, and it is also a very common elemental magic circle. It does not have any terrifying ability to manipulate people's hearts. It has nothing to do with the magic tower that people are worried about.
At the same time, several great magicians in the Lampari Kingdom, including the president of the Magician Union, Pames Allen, and Esenka, were interviewed by the "Lampari Weekly" It is clearly stated that they are actually concerned about any actions of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari, and from the perspective of the interests of the Kingdom, they will also supervise certain aspects.
Together, the two said, so far. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been focusing on the construction and promotion of magic machines, and absolutely has no thoughts or actions that try to control people's hearts. Besides, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has always supported the Lampari Kingdom, so people don't need to worry too much at all.
On the contrary, they mentioned those who questioned the establishment of the magic power signal tower, and the two refuted it in unison, claiming that this was completely a villain's heart.
While the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampari Kingdom brought a lot of benefits to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it also promoted the rapid development of the Lampari Kingdom, benefiting many people in the kingdom.
This can be seen from the obvious improvement of people's lives in the Lampari Kingdom in recent years.
And the two also put forward a brand new point of view at the same time, claiming that the emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has led a brand new trend, that is, it will bring the entire continent into a brand new magical mechanical era, after which people on this continent Your life will be surely affected by the ubiquity of magical machines of all sorts.
Under this trend, what people need to do is not to resist, but to try to change their thinking and actively accept it.
Regarding the statements made by the Magicians Union and the two great magicians, although many people think that the Magicians Union and these two great magicians are closely related to Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and both parties have many interests involved, so they give The conclusions drawn are not credible.
However, the Magician's Union and the two great magicians have unparalleled authority in the kingdom of Lampari in terms of magic. Since they say there is no problem, then there is no problem, and anyone's refutation is meaningless.
So the Lampari Kingdom Council quickly announced that the Lampari Kingdom has begun preparations for this cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it is expected that this communication line will be completely completed by the end of next year.
The second cooperation project has nothing to do with the specific manufacturing of magic machinery, but the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampari Kingdom to jointly open the academy.
These academies, of course, are not magic academies, but academies similar to the Bangta City Magic Industry Skills Training Academy, which specialize in training knowledge related to magic machinery.
According to the published data, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampari Kingdom are expected to build 17 magic industry skills training academies within the Lampari Kingdom within three years, covering almost the entire Lampari Kingdom, allowing everyone who is willing to work Anyone in the magic industry can choose one to receive training.
And like the Magic Industry Skills Training Academy in Bangta City, these seventeen newly opened Magic Industry Skills Training Academy have also adopted certain tuition fee reduction measures to ensure that those students with average financial conditions can continue to study in the academy with peace of mind.
Among these measures, in addition to the official partial subsidies of the Kingdom of Lampari. There are also methods similar to those adopted by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Baron Rictor's Magic Academy and Bangta City Magic Industry Skills Training Academy. That is, students can sign an agreement with the corresponding chamber of commerce. Let these chambers of commerce pay for their tuition and even living expenses in the college, and the requirement is that they must work in the chamber of commerce that signed the agreement after graduation.
Although this article is not limited to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but only out of the students' volition, they can sign an agreement with any Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce at will, but everyone knows that under the same conditions, any student will probably choose the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce first. .
And other chambers of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom are obviously well aware of this, after the Kingdom Council announced the cooperation. Immediately afterwards, more than 30 chambers of commerce expressed through newspapers from various places that they were willing to provide sufficient favorable conditions for the students who were admitted to these magic industry skills training academies.
There are even some chambers of commerce that simply mark the price clearly and give out clear gold coins to show their sincerity.
It can be said that these seventeen magic industry skills training academies have not yet been opened, and the competition for students who do not exist in them has already been in full swing.
There is no way, who made Chairman Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce once say a word.
"In the era of magic industry, technology is the primary productive force, and talents are everything."
In order to compete for these future talents, it is certainly not a big deal to spend more.
The third cooperation project. But it is not limited to the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampari Kingdom, in fact, seriously. The leader of this project is the Lampari Kingdom, and the main partner is the Amrit Chamber of Commerce.
This project is an extremely large road paving program.
According to part of the plan announced by the Lampari Kingdom Council to the Lampari Weekly, the Lampari Kingdom will further supplement and upgrade the road transportation network in the kingdom in the next five years.
In addition to continuing to lay new roads and strive to connect every small town in the kingdom with roads, the original roads must also be upgraded.
With the increasing development of the Kingdom of Lampari, the most common two-lane road has gradually become unable to cope with the increasingly urgent transportation requirements.
Several major highways connecting Banta City, Anvilmar City and the Northeast Province are now even experiencing frequent traffic jams, seriously affecting traffic efficiency.
Therefore, under the instructions of Her Majesty Queen Sevigny, the Parliament of the Kingdom of Lampari decided to upgrade the roads in the kingdom after careful research, to double the width of all major roads, upgrade them to four lanes, and even connect them to the Bangta The highways in Anweimar City and Anweimar City will be upgraded to an extremely exaggerated eight-lane road in one go.
The total investment of this project is estimated to be as high as 35 million gold coins. Even though the financial revenue of the Lampari Kingdom is increasing year by year, and even exceeded an astonishing 10 million gold coins last year, it is obviously unable to cope with such an astonishing expenditure.
Therefore, most of the investment in this project fell on the various provinces and corresponding cities within the kingdom.
The main reason why the road upgrade plan between Banta City and Anvilmar City will become a staggering eight lanes is that Banta City has money...
As for the role played by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in this cooperation project, it is mainly responsible for providing various materials and engineering magic machinery.
For this reason, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also announced a joint venture with the Lampari Kingdom to build three cement processing plants and an engineering magic machinery manufacturing plant within the Lampari Kingdom to facilitate local production of materials.
According to the information disclosed by the Kingdom Council of the Kingdom of Lampari, the three cement processing plants are completely held by the Kingdom of Lampari and have absolute control.
In other words, these three cement processing plants are actually completely owned by the Lampari Kingdom, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot really affect them.
As for the other engineering magic machinery factory, the Kingdom Council did not disclose relevant information.
This makes many people fantasize.
If this engineering magic machinery manufacturing factory is completely under the control of the Lampari Kingdom, doesn't it mean that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has transferred the manufacturing technology of engineering magic machinery to the Lampari Kingdom?
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce transferred technology to the outside world before, it was very generous, but it was limited to the category of household magic machinery. If it is as people guessed this time, it will be the first time to transfer the manufacturing technology of magic machine tools.
Does this mean...Xinfei Chamber of Commerce finally intends to open up technologies related to magic machinery other than household magic machinery?
Thinking of this possibility, countless people immediately started to move. (To be continued..)
