For the next week, Xu Yi remained in Anvilmar City.
Besides being summoned by Servini every day to discuss matters concerning the joint-venture factories between the Xinfei Merchant Guild and the Lampari Kingdom, his more important task was to settle the details of building the first Magic Recharging Station.
This so-called Magic Recharging Station was essentially the equivalent of a gas station on Earth.
The various Magic Locomotives produced by the Xinfei Merchant Guild had now sold more than ten thousand units in total within the Lampari Kingdom. Xinfei Magic Locomotives could be seen on almost every road.
However, Magic Locomotives consumed far more energy than ordinary household magic machinery. Given the size of the energy storage tanks in most current Xinfei Magic Locomotives, they could hold no more than forty liters of Magic Crystals.
Even if they used nothing but high-quality Magic Crystals, a Magic Locomotive would exhaust its supply after traveling less than two hundred kilometers continuously.
As a result, these Magic Locomotives could only reliably travel back and forth between two cities, ensuring that they could replenish their Magic Crystals in time when their supplies ran out.
This greatly reduced the range of uses for Magic Locomotives and consequently limited sales of Xinfei Magic Locomotives.
If a network of Magic Recharging Stations could be established in the Lampari Kingdom, however, these Magic Locomotives could travel freely throughout the kingdom without concern, greatly expanding their coverage.
Moreover, the Magic Recharging Stations established by the Xinfei Merchant Guild would supply refined high-concentration magic crystals. With these crystals, the same forty-liter capacity could increase a Magic Locomotive's range from two hundred kilometers to nearly five hundred—more than doubling it.
These high-concentration magic crystals also cost less than fifty percent more than high-quality Magic Crystals. Even a simple calculation made it
