Chapter 717: A Scam by Capital
Lin Mo watched as everyone signed the confirmation, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, Da Xia had considered the risks.
If all races possess the World Tree, the magical elemental environment will improve, the talents of each race will gradually increase, and the number of powerful individuals will also increase in the future.
This is not entirely without pressure for Great Xia.
But this process will not happen overnight.
It takes time for the World Tree to release its magical elements.
Changing the inherent talents of an ethnic group requires one or even several generations!
It will take at least twenty years.
Even if the number of seventh-tier powerhouses from all races in Terra increases to the point where they are ubiquitous twenty years later, so what?
The Great Xia Dynasty cannot remain at its current level.
Moreover, antimatter bombs have already proven their power.
Seventh rank? That's only the level of a seventh-rank demon lord. A nuclear bomb could take care of that.
Even if an eighth-order being born, so what? Antimatter bombs can annihilate everything. Didn't you see that the Demon God was beaten by the Great Xia and now doesn't dare to show his face?
I believe that as long as the various ethnic groups are not foolish, they will not entertain the idea of turning against the Great Xia.
Conversely, selling the reactors could also bring Great Xia more benefits.
Trade profits are only one aspect of it.
More importantly, Daxia was able to naturally send technical personnel, maintenance systems, monitoring equipment, and standards to the core areas of various ethnic groups.
Wherever the World Tree is, that's where the maintenance personnel of Great Xia will be.
Wherever the maintenance personnel are, the standards for communication, dining, dormitory, medical care, protection, and logistics at Daxia will follow.
This is not simply about selling equipment.
This will integrate the future of all races into the Great Xia system and bring the Great Xia's infrastructure to the entire world of Terra!
Once they discover that the people of Daxia have such good food, housing, clothing, and seating, wouldn't those nobles be tempted?
If the nobles were tempted, how could the common people not be?
If you want to make it yourself, do you have to learn how?
A school needs to be established, right? Teachers need to be hired, right? A school needs to be built, right? Mandarin needs to be taught, right?
At that time, if the whole world speaks the language of Bactria, will there be any problems?
The Great Xia Dynasty has 56 ethnic groups; why not add a few more?
Moreover, after the Great Xia Dynasty, a large number of World Tree seeds will be needed to modify the environment of Earth and the Moon.
Otherwise, relying solely on the two World Trees we currently have to slowly bear fruit won't be enough; in short, the benefits will be enormous!
Lin Mo coughed a few times, interrupting his promising fantasy about the future.
Now, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; he must lay the groundwork for this crucial first step, he said:
"Everyone, after the reactor procurement is confirmed, there is one more issue that I need to explain to you in advance."
Thorin looked at him warily.
"besides?"
Grom also subconsciously touched his purse.
Although he didn't have that many gold coins in his purse, this action made him feel a little more at ease.
Lin Mo smiled and nodded.
"certainly."
"Controlled nuclear fusion reactors are highly precise devices. We provide the installation and commissioning services, but the subsequent operation and maintenance must be handled by professionals."
"It's not that I don't trust you all, but the magic system of Terra is completely different from the technology system of Great Xia."
"Even a powerful seventh-tier mage can't use a staff to adjust reactor parameters, can they?"
The crowd's brows furrowed slightly.
This statement is a bit hurtful, but they can't refute it.
They genuinely didn't know what the reactor parameters were.
Thorin retorted, unconvinced:
"We dwarves can learn! In terms of mechanics and forging, dwarves are second to none!"
Lin Mo nodded seriously.
"I believe in the dwarves' learning ability."
"But before you fully grasp it, the DaXia operations and maintenance team will need to be stationed there for an extended period, right?"
"Otherwise, if the energy output is too low, the World Tree will suffer from malnutrition."
"If the energy output is too high, the roots of the World Tree will be burned to death."
"A malfunction in the cooling system, a failure in the protection system, or a misinterpretation of monitoring data can lead to a serious radiation leak, causing numerous casualties, and your World Tree will naturally not be spared."
Lin Mo exaggerated some parts of what he said. If he didn't make it sound serious, how could the other party realize the seriousness of the problem?
Sure enough, the expressions of all the ethnic groups turned serious upon hearing this.
The seeds of the World Tree are too precious, and the World Tree is too important; no one dares to gamble with them.
Moreover, the World Tree is definitely at the heart of the city, and if its radiation leaks out, it would be disastrous.
Even if they have magic to easily heal, an accident is still an accident.
The losses from city shutdowns and public unrest are still unbearable for them.
Thorin was anxious.
"Oh damn it! You guys never said it would be this dangerous! You're not just trying to scare us, are you?"
Lin Mo smiled and said:
"The probability is one in tens of millions, almost nonexistent, but you never know, right?"
Fendona was clever, and said:
"If it were truly that unsafe, would the Great Xia dare to use it within its own cities?"
Upon hearing this, the group all agreed that it made sense and felt much more at ease.
No one wants such an unstable element in the heart of their city.
Fendona continued:
"But Lin Mo does have a point. You've all seen their stuff, but we don't understand how to operate it."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Mo.
"So, how many people does the operations and maintenance team need?"
Lin Mo hadn't expected Fendona to speak up for him, which saved him some trouble. So, he prepared himself and said:
"It is recommended that each standard power supply unit be equipped with a 12-person operation and maintenance team."
"This includes reactor engineers, energy systems engineers, safety officers, communications technicians, World Tree data monitors, and logistics support personnel."
"The initial period of on-site maintenance will be at least three years. If you are willing to learn, you can take charge of the operation and maintenance yourself after you have learned it."
Thorin's eyes widened.
"So, you mean we still need to hire people?"
Lin Mo said matter-of-factly:
"Of course we should hire them."
"One million per unit is the price of the equipment, not including the number of people."
"For highly skilled technical personnel like these, an average salary of one hundred gold coins a month isn't unreasonable, is it?"
The corners of the mouths of the various ethnic groups twitched. An ordinary commoner only earned one or two gold coins a month, while the Great Xia Dynasty earned a hundred times that…
Before the representatives of each ethnic group could even begin to bargain, Lin Mo continued:
"Don't think it's expensive. The cost of training a talent like this is no less than that of your fourth or fifth-tier experts."
This made the various ethnic groups feel much more at ease.
That's true, I'll just treat them as hired orcs. Although I don't have to fight and it's not cost-effective, it's my own fault for not understanding nuclear fusion technology.
Seeing this, Lin Mo felt a surge of joy.
It's likely that soon, the people of Terra will understand what it means to be technologically strangled...
What does it mean to be set up by capital?
Let me show you the journey the Great Xia Dynasty took.
Indeed, what goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven!
That's not all. Lin Mo thought about what he was about to say...
No, I have to hold back my laughter, or the conversation will fall apart!
