Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

Regarding the feasibility issue, you all already have your own solutions. If you have any further questions, please feel free to raise them. Let's pool our wisdom and efforts; many hands make light work.

If it concerns the Emperor, that's perfect, the annual Immortal Invocation Ceremony isn't far off. We might as well prepare now, and then report to the Emperor in detail during the ceremony. If we obtain his approval, we can proceed directly; the result will be the same.

This plan is quite good.

They weren't blind to the benefits of monetary reform and the promotion of paper money; rather, they were worried about the risks involved.

It's not a risk like counterfeit money; Ningguang has already provided solutions to this kind of problem before.

The two main concerns were the Emperor's thoughts and the issue of action.

This solution addressed their two major concerns.

They looked at Ningguang.

Clearly, Ningguang had anticipated their intentions and came prepared this time.

The reason I stood by and watched them argue was probably just to elicit their true thoughts.

They really have no reason to object now.

In this way, the general direction was clarified.

However, there are still some concerns regarding the details.

"What if the Emperor doesn't agree to our plan by then?"

"If they don't agree, then..."

Ke Qing was the first to speak, but she didn't know what to say.

How could ordinary mortals like them possibly fathom the thoughts of an emperor?

Even though she consistently opposed consulting the Emperor on everything, she dared not claim that she was smarter than him.

"Then let's narrow down our target."

Ningguang stepped forward, gesturing for them to look at the content behind her.

"If the railway system is put into operation and brings about an explosion in the transportation industry, then even if we still use Mora, we may still be able to regain the initiative. It will just take a few years longer and cost more money."

This means that even backup plans have been selected.

"If monetary reform cannot be implemented, then we will first establish a banking system in Liyue Harbor, pool the wealth of Liyue Harbor, build a power system, construct railways, and then, after the cost of transporting Mora decreases, we will also have the opportunity to regain the initiative."

Chapter 47 Can Rei Slimes be used to generate electricity?

Inside the Jade Pavilion, through discussions, arguments, and Q&A sessions, the Seven Stars gradually reached a consensus.

The Seven Stars are among the top merchants in Liyue, and they also have intricate connections with the eight great families that control the Eight Gates.

Some of the Seven Stars even originated from these eight great families, such as Ke Qing of the Jade Balance Star.

The Liyue Seven Stars are pure, but those who serve as the Liyue Seven Stars possess a dual nature.

On one hand, as one of the Seven Stars, he has to be responsible for Liyue; on the other hand, as a wealthy merchant with close ties to the eight great families, he has to be responsible for the interests of himself and those behind them.

The Seven Stars' invitation to this event, to a certain extent, also represents the eight major families.

They need to be careful to see if there are any policies that could harm the interests of the eight major families.

If so, how should compensation be provided?

Fortunately, so far, nothing too serious has been involved; the core issue remains the same: a united front against external threats.

To be fair, Liyue is quite united in the face of the Northern Bank, which has already infiltrated Liyue, thanks to the absence of that piece of shit, the comprador government.

In particular, the Northern Bank completely disregarded them.

This made them very unhappy.

In any case, it doesn't affect them what they use, and whether it's opening a bank or carrying out infrastructure projects, they still make money.

In general, the interests of both sides are aligned.

When the Seven Stars reach a consensus, it means that the upper echelons of Liyue are basically united on this matter, and the entire power of Liyue can be mobilized at any time.

The consensus reached by the Seven Stars is that currency reform should wait until after the invocation ceremony, the railway system needs to carry out massive preparations and mobilization, while the banking and power systems can take immediate action.

The bank's issues have been clarified. Ningguang has given them a further explanation, and the eight major families have already spoken to them and expressed their initial interest. The Seven Stars have also unanimously agreed that Ningguang should handle this matter, and they will fully cooperate.

The biggest problem for the Seven Stars lies in the power system.

"When will we be able to see the actual product? To be honest, with such a huge investment, we always need to see it for ourselves."

"Before I set off, the relevant equipment had already been successfully prepared and verified in the laboratory. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, it should already be in successful application. Perhaps, Captain Beidou can bring the relevant equipment and technicians back to Liyue on his next trade trip."

I suggest we start by preparing in terms of raw materials and production.

Hideo Yamagami repeated what he had said to Ningguang earlier.

This was the umpteenth time he had repeated this content.

The people in the reception room nodded in agreement.

A round trip to Inazuma by Beidou takes about three months, including the time spent docking. There are still a little over two and a half months until the next trip to Inazuma, which is not too long.

They can give them another heads-up, keeping the Beidou fleet busy, prioritizing loading, unloading, and resupply, so the speed can be even faster.

This answer is quite satisfactory.

Their primary concern is the physical aspects of the product.

This determines their persuasiveness and subsequent investment.

They didn't doubt that it was fake.

These are the people brought by Beidou. Beidou may be generous and straightforward, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.

And Ningguang also approved it.

The other seven stars are all focused on the project, which has little to do with Keqing.

She manages real estate.

All she needs to do is cooperate with the approval of the construction permit and the land needed to build the power plant.

Land inside Liyue Harbor is extremely valuable, but there's plenty of land outside Liyue Harbor; you can just pick any suitable spot.

Keqing has other interests beyond the project itself, which she has limited involvement with.

She herself is the holder of Thor's Eye, so she is extremely familiar with lightning.

She looked at the generator with great curiosity.

"Could elemental creatures like Reptiles or Reptile Slime be used to replace generators?"

"Theoretically it's feasible, but the output of these low-level elemental creatures is too weak and too unstable."

"Can someone with the Thunder God's Eye replace him?"

Hearing that it was theoretically feasible, Keqing became somewhat eager to try it.

If we can find an alternative, we won't have to worry about Liyue being overcharged in the future.

"Uh, this..."

Hideo Yamagami didn't know how to answer.

Why would anyone want a lightning-type God's Eye to generate electricity?

Are you really not afraid of working people to death?

"Well... if it's something like the Lightning of the Formless, and it can output damage consistently and stably, then maybe it's feasible."

Hideo Yamagami organized his thoughts, feeling that this way of speaking should be able to tactfully shatter the other party's illusions.

As expected, upon hearing his explanation, Ke Qing abandoned her idea.

"Forget it then."

How desperate must she be to try and capture the Lightning Hypostasis to replace a machine?

Furthermore, she didn't believe she had the ability to consistently generate damage for him from the Lightning Hypostasis.

Is this machine really comparable to the Thunder of No Form?

She found it a little unbelievable.

"But since it's feasible, could we use Rei Slime as a backup power source in some important situations?"

"...Your idea is very creative, and I will take note of it and reflect your opinion. However, I still recommend using a more stable method for backup power."

"How do you manage to unleash lightning without relying on lightning elemental power?"

"I was unaware of this, please understand."

"Then how do you manage to control lightning without relying on Thor's Eye?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the technical aspects of this. I can compile the relevant technical information for you and ask the Institute of Marine Science and Technology."

"..."

The atmosphere at the scene had clearly changed.

Seven Stars, who had just been discussing some details with Ningguang, stopped the discussion.

The reception room fell silent for a moment.

A slight smile appeared on Ningguang's lips.

[Great, that saves me trouble.]

The seven stars all turned their gazes toward them.

Keqing swallowed back the question she was about to ask.

"Shanghai Academy of Sciences?"

The Seven Stars caught the key words in his words.
