Other than the transfer of the civil magic machine technology, the most eye-catching thing was naturally the military magic machine technology policies that Xu Yi had announced on the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's behalf.
However, when it came to the military magic machine technology, Xu Yi wasn't as generous as when it came to the civil magic machine technology.
According to the strategic partnership plan New Flyer had made seven years ago, Xinfei merchants would only release the military magic machine technology to the countries that had signed a strategic partnership agreement with New Flyer. Moreover, there was a limit to this and it would be released in batches.
Only when a country's magic machine industry reached a certain level and they obtained the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's industrial system, could they obtain the military magic machine technology from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
In this industrial forum, New Flyer had announced that there were three countries that had reached the third level industrial system. New Flyer would be releasing the individual Magic Cannons, the 75 mm Magic Cannons, the Basic Magic Shield, and other military magic machine technology to these three countries. At the same time, they would be selling some high end military magic machines to these three countries, helping them form a modern army around the military magic machines.
When announcing this, New Flyer had only announced the name of one of the countries, which was the Kingdom of Ruhr. They didn't announce the other two countries.
New Flyer said that the other two countries didn't announce it to the public, but when it fell into the ears of others, it created all kinds of guesses.
After proving their strength several times, in front of an army with military magic machines, a traditional army couldn't take a single blow. So once a country's army was fully equipped with military magic machines, their battle strength would explosively increase. It could even allow a small country that wasn't worth mentioning to have an incomparably strong army.
So other than the Kingdom of Ruhr, who the other two countries were, this was a very important piece of information.
Because once they grasped this, it would be easier for the other countries to adjust their attitudes and strategies against these two countries.
Otherwise, if they misjudged the strength of one side because of this, it would be too late to regret it.
The Ruhr Kingdom chose to announce it to the public was clearly to prevent the Kandla Empire from invading.
As for the other two countries, they chose not to make it public. Their motives were somewhat intriguing …
However, this wasn't some secret information. After all, a lot of things were needed to reach the level 3 magical industrial system that New Flyer rated as the foundation. It was hard to hide this fact completely.
Moreover, if he wanted to obtain a large amount of military magic machine related technical support from New Flyer, as well as some of the high-end military magic machines, it would be difficult for him to hide it completely.
As long as they increased their investigation efforts, it wouldn't be difficult to find out who these two countries were.
The reason why New Flyer chose to announce this news on the industry forum was clearly to warn other countries.
If they didn't follow the New Flyer's plan to improve their magic industry, they would be left behind by other countries.
At that time, it would be hard to predict what would happen.
Thus, when the fifth Sines Magic Industry Forum ended, all of Sines became lively.
Whether it was for the various deals and projects reached on the industry forum, or for the future development of each country or chamber of commerce, or even for their survival, almost all the countries, chambers of commerce, and even individuals on the continent were investing in the magic machine industry.
This trend led by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had already swept through all of Sines after the fall of Arch Magus Levin Hassock.
Every time he thought of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but secretly thank Arch Magus Levin Hassock.
If it wasn't for him and Sarandul Cray attacking the New Flight Commerce Main Base and being killed by the traps he had set up long ago, the people of Sines probably wouldn't have recognized the huge impact of the magic machine industry so quickly and invested so much in developing it.
When he thought of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but turn his head to look at the expressionless Arch Magus Sarandul Cray beside him.
If this Arch Magus had also fallen five years ago, wouldn't it have shocked the rest of the continent even more?
Perhaps sensing the malice in Xu Yi's eyes, Sarandul Cray stopped walking and turned his head to look at Xu Yi in confusion. He discovered that Xu Yi was looking at him strangely.
"Chairman Xu, is there something wrong with me?" Sarandul Cray couldn't help but ask.
"Ah, no ….. No, it's nothing." Xu Yi quickly laughed into the sky and changed the topic.
"Your excellency Cray, I'm just very curious. The Mana Magic Kingdom already has good research conditions, so why did you choose to join our Magic Research Institute of New Flying Chamber of Commerce?"
Sarandul Cray had suddenly appeared five days after Xu Yi returned to the New Flight Commerce Main Base from Banta City after participating in the magic machine industry forum.
When they first found him, everyone in the New Flyer was very nervous. They were afraid that this Arch Magus who had disappeared five years ago would suddenly appear here to take revenge for what happened five years ago.
Who would have thought that not only did Sarandul Cray not show any hostility, he surprised everyone by saying that he wanted to join the Magic Research Institute of New Flying Chamber of Commerce to research magic machines!
Xu Yi who had rushed over after receiving the report saw Sarandul Cray and felt that he was sincere after talking to him, so naturally he felt that it was strange.
He was a dignified Archmage!
Even if his reputation had been damaged because he had run away after attacking the New Flyer with Arch Magus Levin Hassock five years ago, he was still an Arch Magus in the end. He wasn't someone normal people or magicians could compare to.
From Xu Yi's personal point of view, he naturally hoped that another Arch Magus would choose to join the New Flyer to research magic machines. However, from an objective point of view, this was a bit incomprehensible.
Even if Kray The Sorcerer's views had changed greatly in the past five years and he had started to research magic machines, he could have stayed in the Mana Magic Kingdom to research related magic machines. There was no need for him to come to the New Flyer, their theoretical enemy.
"Chairman Xu, if I were to stay in the Mana Magic Kingdom, how long do you think I would need to research before the Mana Magic Kingdom's magic industry technology, or more accurately, military magic machine technology, surpasses your New Flyer's?" Kray The Sorcerer asked in return.
"Well …" Xu Yi shrugged and spread his hands, "I can't guarantee it.
However, I think that it would take at least a few decades for you to catch up to our Chamber of Commerce. "
"I'm already seventy-three years old this year.
Do you think I can still live for a few more decades? "Kray The Sorcerer asked again.
"Seventy-three years old?"
Xu Yi muttered in a low voice. He thought that this Kray The Sorcerer looked to be in his fifties or sixties, but he was already about the same age as Mentor Carmilla.
It seemed that once a mage became a Grand Magus, their age would increase greatly. Being able to maintain one's prime after becoming a Grand Magus was no joke.
"Most Grand Magi can live past a hundred years old. I think that you won't be an exception.
If we calculate it this way, you should be able to live for at least another thirty years without a problem. "Xu Yi replied after some consideration.
"Then do you think that thirty years is enough for the Mana Magic Kingdom to surpass your New Flyer?" Kray The Sorcerer asked again.
"Impossible." Xu Yi immediately shook his head.
"The creation of a magic industrial system needs to be accumulated bit by bit, and technology needs to be improved through continuous trial and error.
Even if I were to completely open up all the technological information that our Chamber of Commerce holds to the Mana Magic Kingdom, it would still take a long time for the Mana Magic Kingdom to completely grasp this information.
As for surpassing our Chamber of Commerce … … That would require the efforts of several generations. "
"Therefore, if I were to stay in the Mana Magic Kingdom, it would be impossible for me to defeat you in my lifetime." Kray The Sorcerer sighed softly.
Xu Yi suddenly stared blankly, "Defeat me?
Your Excellency Kray, you … … want to defeat me?
With your current strength as a Grand Magus, this should be very easy. "
"Five years ago, Levin and I both thought the same, but in the end, Levin was defeated and killed, and I was forced to flee.
And now, five years later … … "Kray The Sorcerer stared deeply at Xu Yi, the expression on his face extremely complicated.
"Chairman Xu, if I'm not wrong, I'm afraid that you already have the strength of a five star great magician, and are only a step away from becoming a Grand Magus, right?"
Xu Yi laughed mischievously, "I haven't gone to the Sorcerers Guild to get a rank evaluation, so I don't know what my strength is."
"Sorcerers Guild?
Hmph! "Kray The Sorcerer let out a disdainful snort.
"What qualifications do these guys have to be evaluated as a Grand Magus?
If I feel that you have the strength, then you do. "
Xu Yi helplessly spread out his hands, "Alright then, if you say that I have the strength of a five star great magician, then I do.
But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with what you just said about you not being able to defeat me in your lifetime, right? "
"Of course it does."
Kray The Sorcerer sternly said, "Even now, I don't know what methods you used to kill Levin five years ago, but I'm certain that five years ago, I wasn't stronger than Levin. If it was me, I'm afraid that I would have died as well.
And five years later, not only have you become a lot stronger, the things that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is researching have also become a lot stronger. I haven't made any progress compared to five years ago, so there's even less of a chance for me to defeat you. "
"So?" Xu Yi found it funny as he asked back.
"So I want to join your New Flyer and focus on researching the things that you used to kill Levin five years ago, and then … … defeat you!" Kray The Sorcerer stared into Xu Yi's eyes and said with a serious expression.
Xu Yi didn't avoid his gaze in the slightest and met his gaze with a faint smile.
"In other words, you want to join our New Flyer and research the powers of our Chamber of Commerce that can even kill a Grand Magus, and then use this research to defeat me … … Wait, you want to defeat me, not kill me?"
"I have no intention of killing you.
Levin isn't my friend, and I don't have any enmity with you.
I only … … want to defeat you. "Kray The Sorcerer shook his head.
"Alright, even if you want to defeat me.
But Kray The Sorcerer, why do you think that I would agree to let an incomparably powerful Grand Magus like you grasp the top secrets of our Chamber of Commerce, and then defeat me in the end?
Even though you say that you don't want to kill me, do you think I'll believe you? "Xu Yi asked again.
Kray The Sorcerer and Xu Yi silently looked at each other for a while, then slowly and unusually resolutely nodded.
"You will.
Xu Yi, you're a madman, I can see that. "
Xu Yi was silent for a moment, then laughed out loud.
"Alright, Kray The Sorcerer, you win."
