Volume 7 Chapter 60 - Multi Thread Magic Synchronization (1/2)

Compared to the hard work that Akali’s group was putting in to build the new magic communication network on the Magic Cloud Continent, it was much better on the Sines Continent.

Since the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had finished building their magic communication network in the Stantine Duchy, after ten years of development, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s magic communication network not only covered every inch of land in the southwest countries, but also most of the other countries were connected to the network.

After realizing the potential of remote real time communication, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s Magic Communicator and portable Magic Communicator that people didn’t care about before suddenly started to sell well.

Because of the flaws of the current magic communication network, Xu Yi didn’t plan on letting normal people use this thing, so he had set the prices of the Magic Communicators very high.

The price of setting up the receiver cost one hundred and thirty gold coins, while the Magic Communicator itself sold for eighty gold coins each. It was far from something that normal people could afford.

But that didn’t stop the big merchants and the nobles who always cared about their image from buying them.

Before April even came, the receiver had sold eighty four thousand units while the Magic Communicator had sold fifty six thousand units.

Just with these two products, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had earned fifteen million gold coins in sales.

Then adding in the fact that these two products were still in their period of high profit margins, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had earned a shocking twelve million from them.

Compared to the household magic machines that had lower profit margins, these products related to the magic communication network had high profit margins, broad prospects, and near infinite potential.

So the Frestech Communication Chamber of Commerce in charge of these two products were filled with energy that they put into producing these two products.

In early April, the Frestech Communication Chamber of Commerce had signed contracts with the Candra Empire and the Marlow Empire at the same time.

According to the contract, the Frestech Communication Chamber of Commerce would work with the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, helping these two large empires develop the magic communication networks in their borders.

According to estimates, it would take five years to finish the first phase.

The goal of the first phase was to guarantee that all the major cities of the two empires would be connected by the magic communication network, making it easier for the two empires to communicate within themselves.

At the same time, according to the appraisal given by the Frestech Communication Chamber of Commerce and the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, it would take three thousand six hundred to three thousand eight hundred magic signal towers in the Candra Empire and around three thousand magic signal towers in the Marlow Empire for the first phase.

Then when it came to maintenance and other expenses, the total investment of the first phase would be over three hundred million gold coins.

This was without a doubt a giant project and even with the finances of the Candra Empire and Marlow Empire, it would be very hard for them to pay for it alone.

So the Frestech Communication Chamber of Commerce signed another contract with the two empires. There would be a communication management department opened up for these two empires which would control the communication network in these two countries.

In this department, the Frestech Communication Chamber of Commerce didn’t have any management rights, but they had operational rights.

This meant that the main things would be decided by the two empires, but the specific operations of the magic communication network in the two empires would be controlled by the Frestech Communication Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, if there was a profit earned from operating the magic communication network, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would receive a share.

To put it in more common terms, the two empires were contracting the magic communication networks in their countries to the Frestech Communication Chamber of Commerce. They had the right to manage it, but all other aspects would be given to the Frestech Communication Chamber of Commerce and they wouldn’t interfere.

From another angle, this contract meant that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had truly entered the two empires.

This was very important for Xu Yi.

The other people of the continent didn’t understand the hidden value of this contract, but he was clear that communication technology would develop in the future and it couldn’t be stopped as it swept over the continent.

If the communication network of this world could reach the same level as earth’s, he believed that in his lifetime, he would be able to see a Magic Communicator in everyone’s hands.

Of course, before this, he had to solve a very important issue.

“Sir chairman, look, this is the multi thread magic synchronization research that Arch Magus Camilla contributed last year.” Sancheli held a metal disc in his hand that didn’t have a normal shape, placing it in front of Xu Yi like it was a treasure.

Xu Yi was curious as he took it and after looking at it for a bit, he asked, “What is the specific function of this thing?”

Sancheli gave a laugh before pointing at the metal plate, “Sir chairman, you can try injecting some magic.”

Xu Yi paused for a bit before activating his magic, sending a wisp of it into the metal disc.

As soon as the magic went in, there was a light blue glow that came from the metal disc. Then there was a faint wind that came from the disc that quickly turned into a small cyclone.

“Did you put the Whirlwind Spell in this?” Xu Yi asked Sancheli in a confused voice, “If it’s just this simple thing, why would you bring it all the way here to show me?”
