Akali was stunned for a moment before she snorted with disdain.
"What?
Do they dare to make a move against us?
Do they have the guts? "
"Of course they wouldn't dare on the Sines, but on the Endless Sea, they might dare if necessary." Xu Yi said with a serious expression.
Seeing Xu Yi's serious tone, Akali put away some of her contempt and a trace of doubt appeared in her heart.
"Why would those fellows suddenly be interested in the Endless Sea?
With their current situation, shouldn't they be developing the magic machine industry in their country? "
Xu Yi shrugged, "Maybe they feel that it's hard to take the initiative and surpass us with the current situation, so they want to find more opportunities and resources in the Endless Sea."
"With just them?"
"Don't look down on those old countries too much.
In the past ten years, they have been biding their time and focused on developing. In fact, their development has far exceeded my expectations.
Although they are still lacking compared to our company in terms of technology, compared to ten years ago, it's not like they can't compare to our company. "Xu Yi said.
Akali was slightly stunned.
"Sir President, what do you mean by that … Could it be that those countries are doing something dishonest?"
Xu Yi's mind flashed with the long distance communication with Redmond and a bitter smile appeared on his face. He shook his head and sighed, "It's fine now, but I'm afraid that in the near future, when they feel that they have enough strength, they will become dishonest."
"Tch, then let's give them a good lesson."
Akali clenched her fist and coldly snorted, "Those fellows have been peaceful for ten years. I'm afraid they have forgotten the lesson they were taught ten years ago. It's time for us to give them a deeper impression."
"Where did this violent person come from?" Xu Yi snappily rolled his eyes at her.
"Our current goal is still to develop steadily. Unless it's necessary, I won't allow anyone to destroy the current situation.
So unless they go too far, I won't easily make a move. "
Akali glanced at Xu Yi with a helpless expression.
"Sir President, your greatest weakness is your soft-heartedness.
You see, if you had made up your mind earlier, Sines would have already entered the stage of full development. "
"That's only if I have enough power."
Akali wanted to say more, but Xu Yi patted her shoulder and stopped her.
"Alright, I'm just here to give you some instructions.
As for the other aspects, I will arrange for another fleet to be responsible for the safety of the research team led by you.
You should be familiar with the person in charge of the fleet command, Schuster, who has been to the Demon Cloud Continent several times before. "
"Yes, I've seen him a few times, so I'm quite familiar with him."
"Well, you can go find him tomorrow. I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you.
In addition … I may have to go on a long journey in a few days. I may not be able to make it back in a short time.
If you leave in the next few days, I won't be able to send you off. "
Akali revealed a faint smile and waved her hand, looking like she didn't care at all.
"Forget it, I've gone to the Demon Cloud Continent several dozen times and you've only sent me off five times, right?
I'm already used to it.
Then again, I'm not Stiel, why do I need you to send me off? "
Xu Yi revealed a helpless smile and said a few more things before bidding farewell to Akali.
###
Six days later, the prepared Akali led her research team and a fleet of twenty six Magic Ships to set off from the harbour of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's main base, leaving the Sines Continent.
This time, her destination wasn't the Demon Cloud Continent, but rather the sea between the Demon Cloud Continent and Sines.
According to the plan, the New Flyer would set up a research base on several small islands in the sea.
However, the purpose of this research base wasn't to conduct research on long distance hyperspace magic signal transmission, rather it was to build a hyperspace magic signal transfer station.
As for the research on hyperspace magic signal transmission, the research team led by Akali had already made a breakthrough last year. They had already secretly conducted experiments and had succeeded.
The reason why this Magic Signal Transit Station was built in the Endless Ocean, in addition to continuing the next step of the experiment, was to pave the way for the realization of long-distance instant communication between the Sines Continent and the Demon Cloud Continent.
If the plan went smoothly, Akali would finish the construction and debugging of the magic signal transfer station in half a year, connecting the two continents in a year.
This was a very important project, whether it was for Sines or the Demon Cloud Continent, it had a very important meaning, so the New Flyer attached great importance to it. As the manager of the New Flyer's magic communication research department, Akali even personally led a team to the front lines.
When Akali led her research team out, at the same time, Xu Yi appeared six thousand kilometers away, in a small country called the Kuranyi Kingdom to the east of Sines.
This Kuranyi Kingdom wasn't that big, it was only twice the size of the Principality of Constantine. Among the many kingdoms on the continent, it was considered a very small country.
This country didn't have that many people, according to the incomplete statistics, it only had around five hundred thousand people. The population density could be considered the lowest on Sines.
This country wasn't rich in resources. In this small country, over half of it was covered in desert and the rest of the land was barren, producing very low yields.
The reason why the Kuranyi Kingdom was able to survive for so many years was not only because it had no value of being invaded, but also because the people of the Kuranyi Kingdom had developed a fierce culture in such a harsh environment, making it difficult for them to be completely led by others.
But this also made the Kuranyi Kingdom neglected and even viewed with hostility by the surrounding countries, making it very hard to obtain resources. It made the lives of the people of the Kuranyi Kingdom very difficult, always being in a state of half starvation.
The reason why Xu Yi suddenly appeared in this small country that didn't seem to have any value wasn't for itself, but rather for a large plan.
Since Xu Yi made the Banta Declaration ten years ago, saying that all the countries on the Sines Continent had to enter the stage of developing the magic machine industry, most of the countries on the continent began to promote the development of the magic machine industry in their countries.
But because the New Flight Commerce Main Base was in the southwest corner of the continent, the main influence was also in the southwest corner of the continent. So in these ten years, the countries in the southwest corner of the continent, the two empires, and the countries around the two empires had all developed to varying degrees. The other countries couldn't obtain this advantage, so they developed much slower.
The most clear difference was that the countries in the east developed slower than the countries in the west and center. Now there was a phenomenon in the Sines, which was that the west was stronger and the east was weaker. It also made the citizens of the east move to the west on a large scale in order to live a better life.
According to the incomplete statistics that weren't very accurate, in these ten years, the population of the western countries had increased by a large amount. The reason for this was because of the high birth rate brought by the increase in grain production, as well as large amounts of people migrating.
These large amounts of people migrating were mostly from the poor countries in the eastern part of the continent.
This made the population density of the eastern countries not increase but decrease in these ten years, forming a clear contrast with the western countries.
The only exception was the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom.
But the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom was made up of thirteen companies, which was different from traditional countries. Their influence wasn't enough to cover the entire eastern part of the continent, so naturally they couldn't change the trend of the eastern countries.
In order to change this imbalance and to better discover the potential of the eastern countries, using the various resources hidden in them, Xu Yi proposed a large plan, the eastern development.
The goal of this plan was to allow the eastern countries to enjoy the benefits of the comprehensive development of the magic machine industry and change the environment of the eastern countries so that they would not be too far behind the western countries. In the end, it was possible for them to catch up with the western countries.
It had to be said, this plan was too large. It involved over thirty countries in the eastern part of the continent and a large population of over a hundred million people.
When Xu Yi proposed this plan in the internal meeting of New Flyer, it was unanimously opposed by the higher-ups of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
But when Xu Yi seriously analyzed the potential benefits of this plan, he was able to convince the higher-ups of the other companies.
Xu Yi even convinced the two empires, as well as the countries in the southwest corner of the continent, to join in. So when he chose the Kuranyi Kingdom as the first stop of this plan, in addition to the investment team of New Flyer, there were also representatives from the two empires, as well as many other countries, including more than thirty companies.
In fact, the two empires, the other countries, and the various companies didn't have much confidence in the plan that Xu Yi proposed.
The reason why they agreed to participate in the end was all because of Xu Yi.
The first target that Xu Yi chose was the Kuranyi Kingdom in the eastern part of the continent, which was known for its poverty, chaos, and backwardness. This really surprised everyone.
But they still followed.
But everyone, including Xu Yi, didn't expect that as soon as they arrived in the Kuranyi Kingdom, this small country would immediately give them a show of strength.
