Xu Yi's method wasn't strange.
He was taking two routes at the same time. The first was to have the tribes recruited by the New Flyer contact all the other tribes that they could contact.
Although the civilization of the Demon Cloud Continent was limited by the goblins' rampage, making it so that the contact range of each tribe was very small, if they kept contacting each other, it would be like a spider web that would connect more and more tribes.
As for those tribes, would they be willing to come?
Xu Yi didn't need to worry about this problem at all.
These indigenous tribes on the Demon Cloud Continent had always been troubled by the goblins. Coupled with their own low productivity, it was difficult for them to continue with the basic survival and food problems. How could they refuse a great opportunity that could allow them to obtain safety and not lack food and clothing?
Even if they had their doubts, with such a good chance in front of them, they would at least send people to take a look.
Once they found out, it was impossible for them not to come.
The first route was a bit passive, but the second route was much more active.
Xu Yi sent out almost all the Magic Airships and had them search the outside world from high up in the sky.
Once they found traces of other intelligent native tribes, they would immediately mark them. After reporting back, Xu Yi would send out another group of Frestech Chamber of Commerce guards to take care of the threats along the way and find that native tribe.
Whether it was through bribery or coercion, he would think of a way to have the tribe move over.
In just the last three months, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's guards had gone out over twenty times because of this. The furthest they went was over seven hundred kilometers away from the base, bringing back a human tribe.
With these two routes going on at the same time, the New Flyer had already recruited over twenty thousand locals in the last three months.
But these people who had been recruited were faced with a large problem.
These intelligent races that lived on the Demon Cloud Continent, whether it was the humans, the elves, or the dwarves, they all had a certain level of civilization and almost all had their own language. But not only was it lacking compared to the Sines Continent's previous level, it was even more lacking compared to the current level of the Sines Continent.
Every native that came to the New Flyer base for the first time would be shocked by the various scenes in front of them.
Even if it was the simplest Magic Fan, it would make them call it a miracle.
With this large difference in civilization, even if the New Flyer obtained these people, it would be hard for them to play a role.
Just the problem of communicating with different languages would take a large amount of time to solve.
Because of this, while gathering more people, Xu Yi also promoted the Sines language as the base's common language, forcing the locals to seriously study it.
In Xu Yi's plan, after the most basic communication problem was solved, he planned on having these locals learn the magic machine industry knowledge.
Only in this way could they play a better role.
Otherwise, if he only needed some people who could do simple things, it would be much easier to learn from the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce and catch a group of goblins to force them to work.
Different from the goblins, most of these native races could be considered an intelligent race. There were even some that weren't low in civilization, but because they had been suppressed by the goblins, they couldn't fully develop.
For example, there was a tribe of elves that could use relatively crude magic.
If it wasn't for the fact that there were too few elves, Xu Yi believed that they could have driven out all the goblins and controlled the continent. New Flyer wouldn't have come here to take over.
Of course, this crude magic wasn't worth mentioning in front of the incomparably powerful magic technology that the New Flyer brought. This tribe of elves that had hopes of becoming the main characters of the Demon Cloud Continent had already become a subsidiary of the New Flyer.
As time passed bit by bit, the development of the New Flyer base on the Demon Cloud Continent changed with each passing day because of the help of the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce.
Factories were quickly built and then put into production.
Xu Yi had been in the Demon Cloud Continent for nearly a year in the blink of an eye. The base had almost completely changed compared to when Xu Yi first arrived.
In the base, factories representing every industry were basically in place.
Although the scale wasn't large, with the current degree of industrial integrity, it was enough to ensure self-sufficiency even without the aid of Sines.
Of course, Xu Yi's ultimate goal was to expand these industries to the entire Demon Cloud Continent.
It was just that this would take a lot of time and couldn't be rushed.
Xu Yi had been in the Demon Cloud Continent for nearly a year in one breath, so naturally, he couldn't stay like this forever.
On an ordinary day, an unexpected communication came, which made Xu Yi understand that it was time for him to leave the Demon Cloud Continent and return to Sines.
"Hey, President, guess who I am?"
Hearing the energetic and somewhat playful voice coming from the magic communicator, Xu Yi smiled slightly at first, but then he was surprised.
"Akali?
Have you finished setting up the signal beacons? "
Akali was of course still on the Space Island at the moment, and the Space Island was more than four thousand kilometers away from here. Akali could talk to him directly through the magic communicator, so there was only one possibility – the high-altitude magic signal beacons she had been developing had been successful!
"Haha …" There was a burst of triumphant laughter from the magic communicator.
"It's done!
How is it?
Sir President, isn't it fast? "
"Yes, it's fast." Xu Yi nodded again and again.
"I thought it would be impossible for you to finish it in a few years.
I didn't expect you to only spend … uh … less than two years, and you actually finished it!
It's really a surprise!
Akali, when we go back, I must reward you! "
"Tsk, I don't care about rewards, I just need President to fulfill the promise you made to me before."
"Promise?
What promise? "Xu Yi was stunned.
"You really forgot." Akali snorted.
"You said before that as long as I finished this mission, you would let me pick an island and give it to me as my vacation spot.
What?
Now you want to go back on your word? "
Xu Yi's mind spun and remembered that he seemed to have promised Akali this before.
At that time, Akali and Evita had come to Xu Yi's house as guests. When the two of them were discussing vacation spots with Stiel, Xu Yi mentioned that the island on the Endless Sea had better scenery and was very quiet. It was much better than any vacation spot.
Xu Yi didn't remember what they talked about after that, but now that Akali mentioned it, she probably tricked him.
Of course, this was a small matter. With New Flyer's current wealth, developing an island for Akali wasn't difficult.
"No, I wouldn't dare to go back on my word.
Good, you can pick any island on the Endless Sea, I can give it to you! "Xu Yi waved his hand and agreed in a domineering manner.
The islands on the Endless Sea weren't like the islands on Earth, all of which had owners.
If Akali liked something, it wouldn't be hard for Xu Yi to get someone to take it, so how could it be hard?
"Then it's settled.
Hmm … President, seeing that you're so straightforward, I won't keep you in suspense.
You must want to talk to Stiel right now, right? "
Xu Yi smiled.
After coming to the Demon Cloud Continent, because it was tens of thousands of kilometers away, communication and transportation were not so convenient. He could only communicate with Stiel through the fleet, but there was no way to communicate with Stiel at any time like on the Sines. Naturally, he missed Stiel and his family very much.
The moment he received Akali's communication, he realized that since Akali could communicate with him from the Space Island more than four thousand kilometers away, she must be able to communicate with the Sines more than six thousand kilometers away from the Space Island.
And the magic signal beacon she was researching certainly had a magic signal transfer function, so it was obvious that Xu Yi had no problem communicating with the Sines here.
Achieving instant communication between the two continents was the original intention of Akali to develop this high-altitude magic signal beacon.
"Can it connect?" Xu Yi asked again.
"Of course, wait a moment."
Akali responded, and then there was a buzzing sound from the magic communicator. Obviously, Akali was transferring the signal.
After a while, there was another buzzing sound from the magic communicator, and then a voice full of doubts sounded.
"Hello?
Is this Xu Yi? "
Although the voice was not very clear, Xu Yi recognized it as soon as he heard it, and he was overjoyed.
"Hey, Stiel, it's me!"
Xu Yi did not suppress the excitement in his heart, so his voice trembled a little.
"It's really you!" Stiel's voice was also full of uncontrollable excitement.
"Great!
Xu Yi, I finally heard your voice again!
You … Are you okay? "
Xu Yi took a deep breath and laughed, "I'm fine, don't worry.
How about you?
And your family?
How are they? "
As soon as Xu Yi's voice fell, a clear and pleasant voice sounded from the magic communicator.
"Dad!
It's so good to hear your voice again!
I miss you so much!
When are you coming back?
I'm going to be twenty five years old soon, you must come back before then. "
"Freya?" Hearing this voice, Xu Yi's smile became even brighter.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely come back before your new birthday.
But … Have you thought about how you'll answer me that day? "
