The Lampari Kingdom's situation gradually stabilized and under the wise leadership of her majesty Seveni, the entire kingdom kept moving forward in a more prosperous direction.
The Principality of Constantine's situation was the exact opposite.
After signing an armistice with Xu Yi, although Count Wein had lost close to six hundred square kilometers of territory, he had also given up a lot of initiative. For example, the factory that he had more control over was now completely controlled by New Flyer.
But Xu Yi's promise to him had actually helped him even more.
Because New Flyer gave him enough military magic machines, Count Wein had an absolute advantage in equipment in his battles with the other lords.
Even if he didn't completely crush them like before, what decided the outcome of the battles between the lords of the Principality of Constantine was who had more military magic machines.
Count Wein had the support of New Flyer, so he naturally had an advantage over the other lords.
Thus, since the new year, Lord Wein and the alliance of the four lords that repelled him broke out in a series of battles and won a series of victories.
Through these victories, Count Wein had used only three months to completely crush the resistance of the four lords.
Count Wein seized this chance to take most of the territories of the four lords, becoming the strongest lord in the north of the Stantine Duchy, there was no one who could compare to him.
At the same time, the southern Principality of Constantine had fallen into chaos.
Anklo, who had been steadily expanding the year before, began to expand wildly as soon as they entered the year 3875 of the continental calendar.
Because he had the support of New Flyer, Anklo's army was invincible in the southern Principality of Constantine and no one could stop them.
In less than four months, he had transformed from a small Feudal Lord who only owned one city, had a force of 5,000 men, and occupied an area of less than 1,000 square kilometers to a Great Feudal Lord who owned five cities, had over 20,000 men, and occupied an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers.
In the Principality of Constantine, Anklo and Count Wein had become the most powerful lords in the north and south.
Everyone believed that a life and death battle would erupt between these two lords.
The reason why these two lords were invincible in the kingdom was because they had the support of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
But if they were to start a war, who would emerge victorious?
When most people thought of this question, they would immediately have an answer in their hearts.
Whoever the Frestech Chamber of Commerce supported the most, they would win.
Then who would New Flyer support?
###
Xu Yi didn't have time to consider who he would support in the end.
After the new year, he immediately became busy with work and didn't have time to think about other things.
After obtaining six hundred square kilometers of territory from Count Wein, his private territory had expanded by dozens of times.
But if he wanted to fully control this territory, there were too many things that needed to be done.
After careful consideration, Xu Yi gave up on the idea of making this new territory the same as his previous one.
Because to achieve this effect, he would need to invest an astronomical amount of money. With New Flyer's current strength, they couldn't do it for the time being, and there was no need to do so.
After obtaining this territory, the first thing Xu Yi did was to count the population.
The final statistics showed that there were only thirty thousand people in this territory of six hundred square kilometers.
Moreover, among these thirty thousand people, there were less than a thousand young men between the ages of sixteen to forty.
In fact, there weren't so few young men in this territory before, but Count Wein had been fighting with other lords for a long time, so all the young men in this territory were transferred away. The fact that there were close to a thousand people left was already a very good situation.
Fortunately, Xu Yi's current manpower was mainly concentrated on the workers in the factories who were responsible for simple mechanical operations, so he wasn't limited to young men.
After counting the population, Xu Yi gathered all the people who had the ability to work and carried out a unified training. In the end, he picked out a total of nineteen thousand people to enter the factories under New Flyer's name, taking on the simplest mechanical work in these factories.
Although these natives of the Principality of Constantine had always been lazy, under Xu Yi's mandatory training, they had more or less developed some discipline. In addition, Xu Yi's identity as a lord had a deterrent effect on them, so they could basically complete their work in the factories obediently.
Not to mention that it was different from when they were under Count Wein's name. Although they were forced to work in these factories by Xu Yi, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would still give them a corresponding wage and benefits.
Even if they could only do simple mechanical work and their wages were a bit lower than other workers, with a minimum of five gold coins a month and a series of benefits that they had never thought of before, the citizens of the Stantine Duchy who had been poor their entire lives were very happy.
Now that these workers' enthusiasm for work was extremely high, their work efficiency also rapidly increased.
Because these workers took on large amounts of simple mechanical operations, it freed up the skilled workers in the New Flyer factories, greatly increasing the production capacity of each factory.
At the same time, New Flyer invested in a series of new factories in the first few months of the new year.
As long as these factories were built and the production lines were put into use, New Flyer's production capacity would definitely soar.
According to the plan, in the second half of the year, New Flyer's production capacity would double or even surpass before.
Like this, the production capacity problem that always troubled New Flyer would be greatly alleviated.
Of course, to completely solve this problem, it wasn't enough to just invest money and manpower.
In Xu Yi's opinion, the best method was to increase the technology.
"Sir chairman, look, this is our group's newly developed Automatic Control Magic Lathe." Sancheli pointed at the strange looking machine in front of him with an excited look.
Sancheli pointed at the strange machine in front of him, "As long as you put the steel plate in and set the processing data ahead of time, it will automatically process the steel plate into the shape you want."
After the introduction, Sancheli had two workers place a steel plate that was one meter and eighty centimeters long, eighty centimeters wide, and seven millimeters thick into the Magic Lathe's processing slot. Then he pressed a few buttons on a square that was like a control panel.
The Magic Lathe roared and sent the steel plate into the processing arm of the lathe. Then the steel plate went in and out, moving up and down. After a while, it had already been processed into an irregular trapezoid shape.
This steel plate was a very important component for making the medium sized Magic Excavator.
If they wanted to process this component before, it would take at least two skilled workers to operate the Magic Lathe and it would take them half an hour to complete. But now the automatic control Magic Lathe only needed to put in the steel plate and didn't need any other workers. The entire process took less than five minutes.
Compared to this, the efficiency was without a doubt heaven and earth.
Xu Yi looked at the finished steel plate and his heart was filled with shock.
Although this automatic control Magic Lathe looked very simple, its functions were actually this strong.
Being able to set the data ahead of time to process the components, this was already the standard of a CNC machine!
The machine tool research on earth had lasted for several decades before the true CNC machine tool appeared because of the development of computer technology. This Sancheli had actually developed something similar to a CNC machine tool without any computer technology on the Sines Continent!
This was simply ….. simply too great!
Xu Yi couldn't help the joy in his heart as he laughed. He patted Sancheli's shoulder with an excited look on his face.
When this fellow was picked up from Anvilmar City, Xu Yi only liked his special ability to program magic, hoping that he would have some results in this area. But he never thought that after Sancheli had been silent for two years, he would actually develop this kind of shocking thing.
"Very good!
Sancheli!
Great! "Xu Yi patted Sancheli's shoulder with a wide smile.
"This automatic control Magic Lathe, it can be considered our company's most important invention this year ….. No, it should be the most important invention in the past few years!
Its appearance would even change the entire appearance of the magic machine industry!
Sancheli, as the chairman, I am giving you a first level reward! "
"It's actually a first level reward!"
"God, a first level reward!
It's been a long time since someone has received a first level reward, right? "
"It's not that long, it's that no one has received one at all!"
… …
The surrounding people all revealed shocked looks.
Although they knew that the automatic control Magic Lathe Sancheli had developed this time was very strong, no one thought that sir chairman would place such importance on this thing. He would even give Sancheli a first level reward that no one in New Flyer had ever received before!
Sancheli's face was red with excitement and he was so excited that he couldn't speak, he just kept nodding.
His heart had always been filled with gratitude towards Xu Yi, as well as a strong sense of guilt.
He was grateful because Xu Yi had pulled him out of the lowest valley of his life and realized his dreams. He had given him this kind of relaxed environment that allowed him to do the things he liked to do.
He felt guilty because after all this time, he had given Xu Yi very little in return.
Now that he saw that Xu Yi was this satisfied with the automatic control Magic Lathe and even gave a first level reward, Sancheli was naturally very excited.
He didn't have Xu Yi take back this reward because he was very clear that with Xu Yi's personality, since he had already said it, he definitely wouldn't take it back.
The more important thing was that this rare first level reward was the best proof of his contributions to New Flyer. This would reduce the guilt he felt towards Xu Yi.
However, whether it was the surrounding workers or Sancheli, they weren't as excited as Xu Yi.
He who had transmigrated from earth knew better than anyone what this machine represented.
If the entire Frestech Chamber of Commerce could be like the factories on earth, fully automating production, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's production capacity problem would be solved.
Although this automatic control Magic Lathe was just the beginning, as long as it took this first step, he believed that New Flyer would firmly continue down this path.
