Volume 4 Chapter 113 - Technology can’t be transferred casually (1/2)

Volume 4 “I thought that they would be more bold.” Xu Yi shook his head with a smile, “I was prepared for them to request the transfer of the military magic machine technology, but they didn’t mention it at all.”

Kennard couldn’t help smiling as he said, “Sir chairman, you’re thinking too much. Not mentioning transferring the military magic machines, even if you gave it to them for free, they wouldn’t dare take it. What would they take these things for? Are they planning on revolting? Don’t forget, the Lampuri Kingdom has just experienced a civil war, they care very much about this right now. If they dared to request for the military magic machine technology, do you believe they wouldn’t be taken away by the royal guards tomorrow?”

Xu Yi laughed, “That means, I can only wait for Se…..her majesty to come request this from me?”

“Pretty much.” Kennard thought about it before slightly knitting his brows, “During the new year, when I was still in Anvilmar City, the army headquarters already sent people to talk to me about this matter. Sir chairman, did no one come talk to you about this?”

“Not yet, even Se…..Ke, her majesty hasn’t mentioned this to me before.” Xu Yi shook his head.

“That is strange. Her majesty should have realized the power of the military magic machines during the civil war, so why isn’t she moved by this technology?” Kennard was a bit confused.

“I’m certain that they are moved, but the only reason why they didn’t mention it is because they aren’t prepared.” Xu Yi said.

“Aren’t prepared? What do they need to prepare?” Kennard was even more confused.

Xu Yi smiled as he thought that they needed to prepare many things.

First it was looking at the technology.

The military magic machine seemed quite simple, but to actually make the military magic machines, even if it was simple for the current Frestech Chamber of Commerce, without the technology for the Magic Repeating Crossbow, it wasn’t that easy.

That was because the military magic machines needed a complete mechanical structure, with components that could only be manufactured by a complete industrial system.

Not mentioning anything else, without the support of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, although the magic machine industry had developed well in the Lampuri Kingdom, there were basic things that they couldn’t produce.

For example……steel.

Although the ten companies had taken technology for household magic machines from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce before, because steel earned less than the magic machines, they were never interested in it.

Then adding in the fact that Xu Yi hid some things, the Lampuri Kingdom never had technology of this aspect before.

Although the ten companies had said that they grasped all the magic machine technology of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, there were many places where they needed support from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce while producing magic machines.

In the last two years, even if the Frestech Chamber of Commerce in name had their products banned in the Lampuri Kingdom by the magic machine industry management department and the business department, there were actually many of their products flowing into the Lampuri Kingdom.

A large amount of steel was one of them. The most important thing was that the two departments couldn’t find any reason to ban the fertilizer either.

It could be said that without the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, there was no meaning to the Lampuri Kingdom’s magic machine industry.

Right now the Lampuri Kingdom was interested in the military magic machines, but before this, the Lampuri Kingdom had to make sure that they had the proper industrial facilities.

From this angel, those merchants hoping that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would transfer the production magic machine technology to them was actually a very practical thought.

Xu Yi wasn’t planning on controlling the magic machine industry of the Lampuri Kingdom, not to mention that it was impossible.

Even if his relationship with Seveni was good, the Lampuri Kingdom definitely wouldn’t allow this to happen.

So in the situations that he could control, Xu Yi decided to open some production magic machine technology to the Lampuri Kingdom. He would help the Lampuri Kingdom build a complete magic machine industrial system.

At the very least…..he would let them build some Magic Repeating Crossbows instead of having to buy them from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

So when these merchants asked about the production magic machines, Xu Yi casually gave his intentions. Those merchants with their sharp senses of smell were like sharks that had smelled blood in the water.

After a simple discussion, Xu Yi announced to those merchants that he would transfer the technology for producing some production magic machines that made components to them.

To be specific, the best company in the component production business was the Ireland Chamber of Commerce. Although they had outstanding components that were only a tiny bit worse than the ones the Frestech Chamber of Commerce made, the production magic machines that they used for their components were all bought from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

If the Frestefch Chamber of Commerce cut off their supply of production magic machines and service for them, the Ireland Chamber of Commerce would be immediately crippled.

Xu Yi planned on transferring the technology for making these production magic machines to some companies.

This technology was not as simple as making household magic machines because in this aspect, the issue wasn’t the technology, but rather skilled workers.

Because the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had a large number of dwarf blacksmiths, because of the natural talent the dwarves had in casting iron and adding in the fact that the dwarves grew along with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce didn’t have problems in this aspect.

But if it was a brand new company that wanted to produce production magic machines, other than having the technology of this, it was hard for them to solve the problem of skilled workers.

Xu Yi explicitly explained the requirements of these production magic machines to the merchants and they were all helpless in this aspect.

Although the dwarves weren’t as scarce as the elves and were willing to work for humans, there had always been few dwarf blacksmiths.
