Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 78: The Magic Energy Factory in Oakland City (Seeking follow-up reading, monthly ticket)
This time, the bag is dark purple in color, with intricate magic inscriptions outlined in mithril, and is sealed with a thin rope with gold tassels.

It looks to be no more than the size of an adult's palm, and is shriveled.

But in fact, the space inside is a rectangular space of 'ten meters by ten meters by twenty meters'. The area is not large, but in the dimensional bag, it is already quite large.

With it, whether you are living at home, traveling, or storing weapons, it will be much more convenient.

Of course, the prerequisite for use is that you must have magic power.

It's not that there is no dimensional bag that can be opened with fighting spirit, but that requires special design, special magic materials, and special transformation magic patterns.

A dimensional space of the same size requires at least three times the material consumption, plus the addition of some special rare materials, to be produced.

Almost no classical alchemists are willing to spend that money.

Or in other words, such dimensional bags were collected by the great nobles and could not possibly fall into Luo Yi's hands.

Holding the bag of money and thinking about his Colt revolver, Luo Yi's eyes became fierce.

It's just magic!

In any case, you have to learn meditation in a short period of time!
With this thought in mind, Loyi led Oliveira and Angel out of the Ancient Spirit Mage Tower. His steps were decisive and his backs were resolute.

Mrs. Linda sent them to the door and stopped. Looking at the three people's receding backs, the smile on her face gradually faded and she looked thoughtful.

But after a moment, she couldn't help laughing and shaking her head!

Just like she said before, this time Luo Yi almost came to give money, why should she hesitate?
So she stepped on the flying carpet again, went straight to the seventh floor of the Mage Tower, and knocked on the door of the tower owner.

Thus, in less than an hour, all the high-ranking officials in Oakland City knew that Luo Yi had spent a huge sum of money to order an Arcadia Crystal at the Ancient Moon Mage Tower.

People who didn't know the truth gave Luo Yian another nickname, calling him the prodigal son.

Only those who know it can understand its meaning!

……

West of the city, Rose Street, Manor No. 1.

Maruna Marquis and Butler Hoover walked out of the manor, talked again with Sir Carl Bratt who was seeing them off, bowed, got on the carriage and headed to the next house!
On the side, the serving butler's expression changed when he saw them leave.

He took a step forward and said in a very dissatisfied tone: "Master, are they coming here to ask for repayment?

I have never seen such a shameless person. He returned the bodies of the two young ladies yesterday, and today he comes to ask for benefits!"

"They want the shares of the Devis Magic Energy Factory. It's just a pipe dream!"

Sir Carl Bratt glanced at him and said unhappily, "What do you know? They are not asking for repayment, but giving it to Jintir!"

The housekeeper was stunned and puzzled: "What does this mean? Aren't they going to buy shares in our factory?"

"Yes! But you have to first look at the price they offer and how many shares they want!"

Sir Carl Bratt turned around, tapped the ground with his cane, and walked into the manor step by step.

The old butler naturally followed, but when he opened his mouth to ask, he hesitated. However, the knight did not hesitate, and his voice came faintly.

"I just received news that the little guy paid a premium of 10,000 gold coins to buy a magic core at the Ancient Spirit Mage Tower. He was so generous that it was a bit too generous."

"Roy Roy Fitz, this is a real little rascal, not bad, not bad, smart people can live longer."

The old butler was a little confused at first, but after a moment, he felt as if he suddenly understood.

……

evening.

19 Lombard Street, second floor, study.

Luo Yi quickly flipped through the information in his hand, with blue light flashing in his eyes. A lot of information was quickly collected and sorted by Shenlan, and turned into more concise language, which sounded in Luo Yi's ears.

What is included here is actually the detailed information of various magic machinery factories in Oakland City selected by Maruna and Butler Hoover.

For most of them, both of them have sent letters of intent for cooperation, but letters of intent are just letters of intent, and further negotiations are needed.

And Luo Yi, after reading this information, felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge.

For example, Sir Carl Bratt, his most famous factory is the Davis Magic Machinery Factory, whose main product is a magic-powered water pump.

His main target clients are the big mine owners who mine stones from the wilderness.

It was only after reading the information that Luo Yi realized that the biggest problem facing mining was not the transportation of wilderness stones, but the flooding of groundwater.

Mineral deposits are basically underground, and it is indeed very troublesome to dig them out and transport them, but as long as there are enough people, it can always be overcome.

But if the groundwater overflows, it will flood the mine tunnel or directly destroy the supporting beams.

That would result in heavy losses or even bankruptcy. The Magic Power Pump solves this problem very well!

From Luo Yi's perspective, he felt that this product of the Davis Magic Machinery Factory was actually not that good.

It consumes a lot of energy, has a high damage rate, and requires regular replacement of parts. The key is that the efficiency is too low and the pumping speed is obviously not fast enough.

However, the requirements of those big mine owners are lower!

As long as the speed of pumping water can be ensured to be faster than the speed of flooding, they will be ecstatic.

Then there is the wealthy businessman Matthew Hascott, whose main product is the Hascott Magic Power Machinery Factory, a universal power machine used in mines.

The history of mines using tracks to transport ore is very long. From the original wooden tracks to the current iron tracks, they have been replaced many times.

However, in the era before the birth of the magic energy pool, rail transportation mainly relied on manpower.

A set of pulleys is installed on the flatbed truck. By repeatedly prying the lever, the flatbed truck can be started to run, and the mine car is hung at the back.

However, manpower is limited. Although this thing is better than carrying a basket on one's back, its efficiency is also limited!
Until now, it has become a routine operation to install universal power machines on mining cars on tracks.

However, it was different from what Luo Yi had imagined. The universal power machine was installed in front of the mine car and was pulled out like a train.

In fact, the power machine is fixed outside the mine and connected to the mine car through gears, belts and connecting rods.

Through the conduction of force, the mine cart is made to move.

Then, when this mine cart was first introduced, it was smashed and vandalized by miners. Because of the improvement in efficiency, many miners lost their jobs, so naturally they started to make trouble.

However, none of those who can become big mine owners are simple people, and they are all cruel and ruthless. Naturally, they will not care about the trouble caused by a group of miners.

After reading the information, Loyd admitted that his worldview had been greatly impacted.

There are many things that he has never thought of, but if you look into them carefully, you will find that they are actually in line with the current actual situation.

Just as Roy was looking at the information, Maruna Marquis, Butler Hoover and Ang stood quietly in front of him.

Ang seemed very calm, Hoover was still acting like a butler, no one knew what he was thinking, and Maruna was lost in thought, with a bit of excitement on his face.

Five minutes later, Luo Yi closed the information, rubbed his brows, and asked, "Tell me more specifically, what are the attitudes of each family?"

Hoover glanced at Maruna and didn't say anything, but Maruna knew what he meant, so he organized his words and said, "Today, we went to ten of the companies that returned the bodies, all of which were magic energy factories.

I picked five additional ones and ran around.

Basically, it has covered all the magic energy factories in the entire Oakland City. The people who received us were all the heads of various families, and they also showed some interest in our investment. "

"However, the number is really too much. I think it would be enough to pick three or five to invest in."

"As for the wholly owned factory you need, I chose this one!"

As he spoke, he handed over another piece of information, a parchment scroll.

Luo Yi took it and glanced at it: "Greenman Factory?"

"Yes, Greenman Factory! The previous product was railroad tracks. Of course, this is not important. What is important is that the magic energy pool has been in use for less than three years, so it is 90% new.

Then there was the owner of the Greenman Factory, Neely Greenman. He was unlucky and his entire family was killed by pirates."

“Right now, several distant relatives are fighting over the inheritance, and the dispute is so intense that the normal operation of the factory has been greatly affected.

If we take it, we will have a factory, a magic energy pool and three universal power machines. Moreover, the factory is not far from Xiangsheli."

"The problem now is that there are three companies competing for the inheritance. If we want to get this factory, we have to deal with all three companies at the same time."

Luo Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and then looked at Ange and asked, "What about you?"

Ange said: "Someone was found snooping at the Xiangsheli Magic Textile Factory, Proswang Manor, and even where Mr. Maruna lived.

But the place that attracts the most people is actually here.”

"Teacher has arrested a few of them. After interrogating them, I can basically confirm that they are all gangsters, detectives, and even thieves from the underground world."

"I just can't be sure if there's anyone behind them!"

Luo Yi nodded slightly, then looked at Maruna Marquez and said, "I'll have to trouble you again these days. Go around more and discuss things to see what opinions those people have."

"it is good!"

Finally, he looked at Butler Hoover and said, "Please prepare at Prosperity Manor. We may have to hold a dinner party in a few days."

Hoover nodded: "I'm good at this!"

　The Wild Stone can be seen as coal, and several of the machines inside have prototypes.
