Volume 2 Chapter 49 - Road opening (1/2)

Facts proved that Xu Yi’s guess was right.

After staying at the Baron Rickto Magic Academy for a day, not only did Xu Yi sign contracts with the thirteen students who had accepted the special fund, making them employees of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. There were also twenty four other graduates who expressed their willingness to work for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to Xu Yi.

Naturally Xu Yi wouldn’t just agree to them, rather he had them prepare themselves to come to the Sandton Manor three days later to be tested.

Actually Xu Yi wanted to not waste another word and accept these over twenty students, since the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was in urgent need of large amounts of magicians.

Although the Baron Rickto Magic Academy was not the best magic school in the Lampuri Kingdom, it was still much stronger than the Senkaiser School that Xu Yi had attended before.

Being able to graduate from this place, normally one had to be at least a Second Grade Magician. There were even quite a few who were Third or Fourth Grade Magicians.

If these students could be recruited into the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and they were trained for a while, the magic research facility would be filled with staff.

Of course, it was just the beginning recruiting these students into the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

The company in the future would still require large amounts of magicians, or rather more accurately speaking, they needed more magic mechanical engineers. Xu Yi had considered all of this and after discussing this with the Baron Rickto Magic Academy management, he decided on starting a magic mechanical engineering department at the school.

As the department’s name implied, they would be learning knowledge related to magic machines.

But to create this department, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had to pay the Baron Rickto Magic Academy ten thousand gold coins each year.

When summer passed and the Baron Rickto Magic Academy began to recruit students again, this department would also be attracting new students.

When the students of the magic mechanical engineering department graduated, the path that they would choose to take would naturally be work related to magic machines.

“Investing ten thousand gold coins each year just for the possibility of a few students, isn’t this too wasteful?” On the way back, Still expressed her doubts to Xu Yi.

“When the fall enrollment season comes, as long as there is a single student that joins the magic mechanical engineering department, this means this ten thousand gold coins will be worth it.” Xu Yi said with a faint smile, “The significance of this branch is much greater than its practical uses. I just want to use this department to tell those kids that want to learn magic that magic is not just about power and breaking things, there are many other methods to use it. When this idea enters everyone’s mind and is accepted by them, there will be more and more students who join this department.”

“But how many years will that take?” Still then said, “Is this really worth it?”

“There’s no choice. Creating a complete industrial system is a large project that takes a long time, I can only build the foundation bit by bit. As for when it will bloom, I can’t be certain.”

After pausing, Xu Yi then said, “In fact, if it wasn’t for the fact that our company doesn’t have that much money, I even want to open a school that is dedicated to teaching magic mechanical engineering. I want to recruit those children with talent in magic and teach them about magic machines from a young age. You have to know, magic machines are not just about magic, there is also quite a bit of engineering knowledge that needs to be learned. If one only comes in contact with it midway, the effects wouldn’t be as good.”

“Un, I have some experience now.” Still gave a nod, “I’ve been busy with advertising in the past few months, so I rarely spent time researching Magic Arrays with Evita and the others. I went back there a few days ago and found that when I discussed things with Evita and Akali, I couldn’t understand what they were saying at all!”

Xu Yi laughed as he tapped Still’s nose, “It’s very normal that you can’t understand. Evita and the others spend a large amount of time each day with their research and the new technology they have developed has even surprised me. If a lazy fellow like you could stay at the same level as them, it really wouldn’t be fair.”

Still gave a soft snort and twisted her little nose as she said, “Give me some time, I will definitely catch them. That’s right, what you talked about with the owner of the clothing store, the new technology that the new generation of Magic Air Conditioners is using where you can adjust the temperature, was it the new technology that Evita and the others recently developed?”

“Un, the ability to adjust temperatures, it was because of the energy gradation technology that they had just discovered. This technology can control the amount of magic being released from the Magic Crystal, which controls the might of the Magic Array. If this is placed in the Magic Air conditioner, it would mean that the might of the Frost Array inside the Magic Air Conditioner can be adjusted, changing the temperature of the wind being blown out.” Xu Yi replied.

Still thought about it and couldn’t help sighing as she said, “If it’s like this, it really is incredible. I’ve only casually thought about this technology and found many places to implement it, no wonder even you were shocked by it.”

“Un, I thought that Evita and the others would take a long time to solve this problem, but I never thought that they would solve it this quickly. It really is incredible.” Xu Yi nodded as he praised them, “Actually to be honest, compared to this magic power gradation technology, the long distance magic transfer technology is more important. We can’t implement it properly right now, but as we develop this technology, you’ll find that this technology can completely change your life!”
