Chapter 2919: Lander Leads the Charge
Aside from the value adjustment of the material itself, because the main material is silver, different proportions of Adamantine brought about four shades of light blue that were similar yet distinct enough for people to tell apart.
The deeper the blue, the higher the Adamantine content, and the higher the currency value.
After adding the mark of the Order Force, the visible shimmering ring added a touch of mystery to the Blue Gold Coin; Xia Duo held the four coins in his hand, playing with them repeatedly, liking them more the longer he looked.
After all, it was his own design, and he figured that as long as there were no major changes in the Territory, this style should be used for a long time.
Of course, if there were any major changes in the Territory, they could completely issue commemorative coins for that year, which could be collected by those who exchanged them, while also possessing the same face value for circulation.
With economic development, as well as the wear and tear of old currency or the fading of marks, some new coins would certainly have to be issued every year; besides the current style, any design would do.
Being able to issue commemorative coins would certainly mean that Daxia Territory had developed to a certain level and that the Blue Gold Coin had gained consistent recognition both internally and externally; otherwise, Xia Duo would rather not issue any commemorative coins.
After playing with them for a moment, Xia Duo began to mass-produce this new currency; come to think of it, for him, having already mastered the elemental composition of Adamantine, the cost of minting with pure Adamantine might actually be cheaper!
Currently, there is enough stock of Adamantine, but as for silver, it is likely difficult to support the renewal of all the currency in the Territory, not to mention circulating it outside the Territory.
Fortunately, the price of silver is cheap, and with the Grey Peak Mountains set to produce a large amount of silver soon, Xia Duo was not actually too worried about that part, just feeling a bit emotional about it.
It was said to be time for questions, but Badijiaer had already operated the Remote Conference to enter the voting process; in any case, no one had stipulated that one could not speak during the voting period.
To this, Xia Shao's answer was—
"Even the Spirit Thought Network in the middle of the night without a Translation Device can still provide benefits; when using the Spirit Thought Network, I feel like I have returned to that state of flying inspiration from my youth."
"Thank you, Councilor Xia Shao."
The next day.
But at the moment, with such a high approval vote and no more than five people opposing, a mere one person abstaining did not affect the final result.
As soon as Badijiaer finished speaking, someone stood up, "I have a matter I would like to ask Councilor Xia Shao."
Even if an Arcanist were confident in persuading the people of Morui'en Gaota, it would be very difficult to persuade the other three towers, but if only one family used it, it would inevitably encounter constraints from the other three.
This made Xia Shao often one of the first to arrive, but today, when Xia Shao connected to the Remote Conference System, he discovered that he was actually the last one to arrive.
There were actually many people with questions, but many things could not be brought to the table, so they could only use silence to answer Badijiaer.
Regarding such an abrupt remark, Badijiaer had not reacted at first, but then noticing Xia Shao's gaze, he understood Xia Shao's meaning and could not help but smile bitterly to himself, but the necessary procedures still had to be followed—
To this, Badijiaer had long anticipated, "Then let us vote, whether to establish the Northland Alliance Public Computing Resource Pool—"
For a moment, Badijiaer was also a bit annoyed; after thinking about it, he decided to probe, but he would wait until after the vote.
Badijiaer turned his gaze to Xia Shao; Xia Shao naturally had no opinion on this, and he had even guessed what the Arcanist wanted to ask.
"The Spirit Thought Network that was experienced by everyone before was composed of mages temporarily conscripted by the Northland Alliance due to the Magic-born Time Signal Incident; they were at least Elite Mages, and they were numerous."
"Councilor Arcanist, feel free to ask any questions; as long as I can answer them, I will certainly not hide anything."
"If you have any questions, just ask, Councilor Xia Shao, you see—"
The abstainers were all from the Tianshui Three Planes, perhaps because they were not yet familiar with some of the situations in the Main Plane; previously, for many issues that had no direct connection to them, councilors from the Tianshui Plane often cast abstention votes.
According to the original plan, it was time to adjourn and continue the consultation on the emergency conscription system tomorrow, but the Arcanist could not wait; he interrupted Badijiaer's final closing remarks and hurriedly said:
"The Spirit Thought Network composed of Elf mages has such an effect, so what kind of effect would a Spirit Thought Network composed entirely of Netherese Mages have?"
The Arcanist was not very disappointed, because from the beginning he knew that the actual effect of the Spirit Thought Network had a lot to do with the quantity and quality of the participants, but he did not expect that it would take so many Elite Mages to achieve the effect of last night.
"Speaker Badijiaer, do you think there is still a need to discuss this today?"
Netheril certainly does not lack one hundred Elite Mages; even one tower alone could call out one hundred Elite Mages, but having so many people and having so many people form a network were two completely different things.
"So that's how it is!"
As a Controller of a tower, Badijiaer knew what the other party wanted to say as soon as he saw this guy; he subconsciously frowned, but still did not stop the other party.
The councilors already had a decision in their hearts regarding this question; after a moment, the results came out: over fifty people voted in favor, no one opposed, and one person abstained.
"Everyone has experienced the Spirit Thought Network in both states; if there is anything else you want to ask Councilor Xia Shao, then ask now immediately; if there are no questions, then let us vote."
"Does anyone else have any questions?"
Seeing this scene, Xia Shao roughly guessed something; it just so happened that he still had many projects on hand to do, so he simply laid his cards on the table:
The councilor meeting of the Seventon Council continued, and it was still a continuation of the previous remote meeting format; this was already the seventeenth meeting this month.
"Arcanist?"
"Councilor Arcanist, although I would like to say that the networking effect of Netherese Mages is even better, some things must be said beforehand to avoid everyone having too high expectations."
This kind of question was also what other councilors wanted to know, but they were not willing to connect to a Spirit Thought Network led by others, and were more willing to form networks within their own Mage Towers.
Usually, Xia Shao did not actually arrive very early, but he could not help that there were always people who liked to procrastinate, or who thought that arriving a little late made them seem more authoritative.
"I think whether to establish Netheril's Public Computing Resource Pool is also worth discussing!"
The Arcanist did not care about Badijiaer's attitude; he looked at Xia Shao with burning eyes and said in succession: "Last night I experienced the Spirit Thought Network in two different states; the former must have used the Translation Device, right? I feel it is very useful; I originally had a study that had been stagnant for a long time, and I did not expect to have a breakthrough in one night."
"I announce that this motion is passed; later I will authorize Ambassador Tiao to agree to this matter in the upcoming Alliance meeting."
"If you want to achieve a similar effect with Netherese Mages, then at least one hundred Elite Mages need to form a network, or high-level mages who have studied advanced courses, with over one hundred forming a network."
