What the Grand Duke of Venice called "what we deserve" was, in fact, merely a portion of the relevant military magic machinery manufacturing documentation that the Xinfei Merchant Guild would transfer to the Venice Duchy under their agreement once the duchy met the second-level magic industry standards.
Besides this documentation, the Xinfei Merchant Guild would also send the relevant technical staff to the Venice Duchy to help it fully absorb and master these technologies, enabling it to produce the corresponding military magic machinery on its own.
Of course, given the Venice Duchy's existing magic industry foundation, it could at most manufacture relatively low-end military magic machinery, such as magic repeating crossbows and small magic-powered stone throwers.
What Garn Solon had said earlier was entirely correct. Even if the Xinfei Merchant Guild handed the Venice Duchy technical documentation for advanced military magic machinery, such as magic cannons, right now, they would have no way to master it themselves.
After all, they had only barely mastered the most basic industrial manufacturing. They were still a long way from meeting the industrial standards required to manufacture magic cannons.
To name just one problem, skilled magic machine tool operators alone were in desperately short supply within the Venice Duchy.
Thus, the Xinfei Merchant Guild's fleet had come with another cooperative task this time: to work with the Venice Duchy to establish a Basic Magic Industry Skills Academy within its borders, helping it rapidly train a batch of qualified technical workers.
Of course, all these so-called standards were based on those proposed by the Xinfei Merchant Guild.
To be specific, even the number of threads on every screw in every piece of magic machinery would strictly follow the Xinfei Merchant Guild's standards.
This was something Xu Yi had explicitly required when drawing up the plan
