Compared to the hardships Akali and the others had to go through to build a complete magic communication network on the Magic Cloud Continent, the situation in the Sines was much better.
Ever since the New Flyer had built a complete magic communication network in the Principality of Constantine, after nearly a decade of development, not only did the New Flyer's magic communication network cover almost every inch of land in the competing countries in the southwest of Sines, but it also covered most of the other countries in the continent.
After experiencing the convenience of long-distance real-time communication, the fixed magic communication devices and portable magic communicators of the New Flyer that weren't valued much before began to sell like hotcakes.
Because the magic communication network still had various flaws in its early stages, Xu Yi didn't promote it to ordinary people for the time being. Therefore, the fixed magic communication devices and magic communicators were priced at an extremely high price.
The fixed magic communication devices were sold for as high as 130 gold coins, while the magic communicators were sold for 80 gold coins. It was far from what ordinary people could afford.
However, this didn't stop the enthusiasm of the merchants and nobles who always paid attention to appearances.
In less than four months this year, more than 84,000 sets of fixed magic communication devices had been sold, and more than 56,000 magic communicators had been sold.
Just these two products alone brought in a huge sales volume of more than 15 million gold coins for the New Flyer.
Moreover, these two products were still in the stage of making huge profits, so the profits of the New Flyer exceeded an astonishing 12 million gold coins.
Compared to other household magic machines whose profits were gradually decreasing, products related to the magic communication network could undoubtedly bring a higher profit margin. Moreover, the prospects were broad, and the potential was almost limitless.
Therefore, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which was mainly responsible for the production of these two products, put most of their energy into promoting and producing these two products.
At the beginning of April, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce signed a cooperation agreement with the Kandla Empire and the Malor Empire.
According to the agreement, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would cooperate with the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce and assist the two empires to further expand the magic communication network in their territories.
It was estimated that the first phase of the project would take five years to complete.
The goal of the first phase of the project was to ensure that all major cities in the two empires were included in the unified magical communication network to facilitate communication between the two empires.
At the same time, according to the estimates given by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, the first phase of the project would have three thousand six hundred to three thousand eight hundred magic signal towers in the Kandla Empire and around three thousand magic signal towers in the Malor Empire.
Combined with the investment in other lines and maintenance, the total investment for the first phase of the project was estimated to exceed 300 million gold coins.
This was undoubtedly an extremely large project. Even with the financial resources of the Kandla Empire and the Malor Empire, it would be very difficult for them to undertake it alone.
As a result, the Xinfei Communications Chamber of Commerce and the two empires signed an agreement again, establishing a communication management department led by the two empires to plan and manage the internal magic communication network of the two empires.
In this department, the Xinfei Communications Chamber of Commerce didn't have management rights, but they did have management rights.
This meant that in terms of the main matters, the two empires had the final say. As for how to manage the internal magic communication network of the two empires, the Xinfei Communications Chamber of Commerce had a certain amount of control.
Moreover, if there were profits from operating the magic communication network, the Xinfei Communications Chamber of Commerce would receive a share of the profits.
To put it in simpler terms, it was equal to the two empires contracting the internal magic communication network of their empires to the Xinfei Communications Chamber of Commerce. They only had the right to manage it and would let the Xinfei Communications Chamber of Commerce take care of the other aspects, so they wouldn't interfere.
From another angle, the signing of this agreement meant that the New Flyer had truly entered the two empires.
Xu Yi attached great importance to this.
The other people in Sines might not understand the value of this agreement, but he knew very well that communication was an inevitable desire for the development of society in the future. It would completely sweep the entire world with an unstoppable momentum.
If the development of communication in this world could be as smooth as it was on Earth, then he believed that he would be able to see the spectacular scene of people on this continent holding a magic communicator in their hands in his lifetime.
Of course, before that, he had to solve a very important problem first.

"President, look, this is a new result of my research based on the multi-threaded magic synchronization theory proposed by Mentor Carmilla last year."
Sanchelle held a metal disc that didn't look so regular with both hands. He held it in front of Xu Yi as if he was presenting a treasure.
Xu Yi curiously took it. After looking at it for a while, he asked, "What is the specific use of this thing?"
Sancheli chuckled and pointed at the metal disc. "Sir President, try injecting mana into it."
Xu Yi pondered for a moment. The magic in his body moved, and a trace of magic entered the metal disc.
As soon as the magic entered, the metal disc suddenly lit up with a pale green light. Then, a breeze blew on the disc, forming a small cyclone.
"You set up a whirlwind spell formation in it?" Xu Yi asked Sanchelle in puzzlement.
"If it was just such a simple thing, you wouldn't have specially brought it out for me to see, right?"
"Of course it's not that simple." Sanchelle smiled and raised his hand. He stretched out a finger and pressed it against the metal disc.
Xu Yi soon felt a different kind of magic entering the metal disc. He couldn't help but frown slightly.
If the magic of different mages collided directly, the consequences would be unpredictable. If it was light, it would cause magic chaos and make people feel uncomfortable. If it was serious, it would cause magic turbulence and possibly cause all the magic in the body to collapse.
However, since Sanchelle dared to do this, of course, he was confident. Therefore, Xu Yi didn't withdraw his magic power and just observed carefully.
After Sanchelle's magic power entered the metal disc, it was obviously guided to another place. It didn't interfere with the magic power that Xu Yi had probed.
Then, a small flame rose from the metal disc, just right next to the small whirlwind that Xu Yi had condensed with magic power.
The wind from the whirlwind blew the flame and swayed gently. It looked like a candle lit outdoors, making people worry that it would go out at any time.
Seeing this situation and sensing that the magic power that belonged to him and Sanchelle were flowing along different tracks in the metal disc, Xu Yi's heart stirred. He asked, "Sanchelle, this thing can allow different magic powers to guide different magic elements to generate magic at the same time?"
"Yes, this is an extension of the multi-threaded magic synchronization theory proposed by Teacher Carmilla.
What do you think? "Sanchelle asked with a smile.
Xu Yi pondered for a moment and shook his head gently.
"Although it's a little novel, if it's only to this extent, I'm afraid it's not as technical as the magic toy when I first met you."
"Of course it's not just that. Please take a look, Sir President."
Sanchelle motioned for Xu Yi to withdraw his magic power, then retrieved the metal disc and came to the side of an extremely strange-looking metal instrument placed in his private laboratory.
"Sir President, this thing is actually just a control core. If you want to show its true function, you need to look here."
After saying this, Sanchelle stuffed the metal disc in his hand into a groove in the upper part of the metal instrument, then went to the side and pressed a button.
Xu Yi immediately found that at least a hundred different attributes, frequencies, and specifications appeared in the laboratory at the same time. Simply put, they were completely different magic power fluctuations.
These more than a hundred magic power fluctuations came from all directions at the base of the metal instrument, and then they all converged at the place where Sanchelle had inserted the metal disc.
Then the metal instrument emitted a variety of lights of different colors, and then hundreds of different types of low-level magic appeared from it, dazzling the eyes.
These magic spells were not just simply manifested, but even affected each other.
For example, the one manifested at the top was the Icicle Spell. An icicle fell from above and then fell into a pool of water below, causing the pool of water to emit traces of cold air. Then, a Flame Spell suddenly appeared, roasting at a high temperature below.
As a result, the pool of water, together with the icicle inside, turned into mist, evaporated, and was completely wrapped in a mass of air.
A moment later, this mass of air transformed into a small dark cloud, and drizzled.
The rain fell and sprinkled on a lump of soil condensed using earth magic elements, moistening the originally hard soil until it gradually softened and finally turned into a puddle of mud.
Looking at this small magic display that seemed to simulate an ecological environment, Xu Yi's first thought was that Sanchelle must be very bored when doing research, so he thought of using magic to do these things.
But after this thought passed, Xu Yi began to focus on observing the specific situation of the various magic manifested in the metal instrument, and at the same time, he focused on sensing the flow of magic power and magic elements inside.
A few minutes later, Xu Yi took a deep breath and looked at Sanchelle in surprise.
"These magic spells are actually all operating simultaneously?
And they are all transformed through the same magic array? "
Sanchelle smiled and nodded, "Yes, Sir Chairman.
The one hundred and seven magic manifested on it are all transformed through the magic array on the metal disc I just showed you.
Of course, the magic crystals are providing the magic power. "
Xu Yi looked at the metal instrument with amazement.
If Sanchelle wasn't lying to him, then that meant that the metal disc Sanchelle just showed him actually had the ability to handle one hundred and seven magic generation requirements at the same time!
And for ordinary magic arrays, as long as they were set up, they could only generate one magic spell.
Even if the power of the magic varied, one was one, and it was impossible to generate two different magic spells at the same time.
Sanchelle's current research results had broken this inherent concept.
And if this research continued, not only would there be a chance to solve the urgent need of multi-threading synchronization in the magic communication network, but … It was even possible to create a computer of this world!
