Chapter 148 The Magic Locomotive that Can only Ride One Person
This time, Chairman Pomberry personally escorted the magic machine tools and other accessories needed for the cement factory and steelmaking factory that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will soon establish in Sewell City.
In addition, considering that it is too far away from Bangta City, and in addition to the cooperation with the Principality of Draco, Xu Yi also plans to build a magic machine tool workshop here to produce some magic power that is not convenient to transport. Machine tool equipment.
The most important of these is to prepare for the establishment of an arsenal.
Of course, the core part, Xu Yi, would never be produced outside the Falling Rain Valley.
Although Serwell City has the Earl of Summer as the lord of the city, the security is guaranteed to a certain extent, but after all, it is too close to the border of the Kingdom of Sark. question.
Although Earl Summer patted his chest in front of Princess Caroline and made a promise, Xu Yi naturally had to take this into consideration out of the most prudent considerations.
After boarding the medium-sized magic bus that President Pomberry was riding with Earl Summer, as soon as the car started, Xu Yi really felt the slightest chill reverberating in the car, so he had to tighten his fur-top-point-novel skin coat.
Seeing Xu Yi's movements, Earl Summer also tightened his neckline, turned his head to look at the environment inside the medium-sized magic bus, frowned and asked Xu Yi: "Xu Yi, President Pomberry was right just now, this medium-sized magic bus Since the bus is for people to ride, we should think more about comfort. For example, adding a magic air conditioner, it will be much better now. Besides, why do I feel that there is a place for air leakage in this car."
"It's not difficult to install a magic air conditioner, but it's not so easy to integrate it with the whole car." Xu Yi explained. "Our chamber of commerce's research and development center is doing research and development testing in this area. I believe it will not take long. The configuration upgrade of this medium-sized magic bus will be completed. As for the air leakage... there is no way. The skills of the welding workers are not up to the mark."
"Speaking of...President Xu. Since your Chamber of Commerce named this magic locomotive a medium-sized magic bus, does that mean that there are also small and large magic buses?" asked President Pomberry on the side.
"That's right." Xu Yi nodded. "Compared to this medium-sized magic bus approved to carry 13 people, in our chamber of commerce's plan for passenger magic locomotives, of course there are smaller ones, which can only carry a few people, or even one person. A super-small manned magic locomotive driven by humans. In addition, there are also larger ones. Large-scale manned magic buses that can carry dozens of people."
"You can only pretend to be one person?" President Pomberry looked surprised. "Then how much does your Chamber of Commerce plan to sell for this ultra-small manned magic locomotive?"
"It hasn't been confirmed yet. But the price of a magic locomotive is not only determined by how many people it can carry, there are many other factors. So the ultra-small manned magic locomotive you asked may be priced at only A few hundred gold coins, but it may also be priced at tens of thousands of gold coins."
"Tens of thousands of gold coins?" Even Earl Summer was not calm at this moment. "Xu Yi, are you kidding me? You can only sit for one person, and you want to sell tens of thousands of gold coins? Who would be so stupid as to actually spend tens of thousands of gold coins for such a completely impractical thing?
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "My lord, in addition to practicality, many people in this world are more pursuing comfort and enjoyment. If you are given a magic motorcycle, you can drive it as if you are at home. , and at the same time have a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, or even 200 kilometers per hour. Are you willing to spend tens of thousands of gold coins to buy it?"
"One to two hundred kilometers per hour? How is this possible!" Earl Summer and President Pomberg were equally astonished.
Chairman Pomberry said excitedly: "President Xu, if your chamber of commerce can really develop such a fast magic locomotive, not to mention tens of thousands of gold coins, or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins, there will definitely be many people buying one. !"
Earl Summer frowned and shook his head slightly.
He is an aristocrat who advocates pragmatism, and what he looks down on most is those who are extravagant and spend money recklessly in pursuit of enjoyment. He simply cannot understand the powerful attraction of the ultra-small magic motorcycle that Xu Yi said to those who pursue luxury force.
But this does not prevent him from agreeing with Chairman Pompey.
At present, the traffic road on Sainz Road is still dominated by horse-drawn carriages, and the speed can only be maintained at a maximum of about 30 kilometers per hour.
The magic locomotive developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now only has a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour, but it has already been greatly welcomed in the Kingdom of Lampari and has aroused everyone's interest.
If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suddenly came up with a magic motorcycle that could run one or two hundred kilometers an hour, it would definitely cause a sensation in the entire Sainz continent.
Rich people are everywhere on this continent. For those people, not to mention spending tens of thousands of gold coins, even if it costs hundreds of thousands of gold coins, as long as they can own such an extremely fast magic motorcycle, there is absolutely no problem.
"I would like to be able to come up with such a magic motorcycle now. But unfortunately, at present... at least in the past few years, there is no way to do it." Xu Yi shook his head regretfully.
At present, the magic locomotives used by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce all use wind-type magic engines. Although this engine is very good and stable in terms of durability, it is slightly insufficient in terms of explosiveness.
According to Xu Yi's estimation, the extreme power that this wind-type magic engine can produce can only drive the current medium-sized magic locomotive to a speed of about 80 kilometers per hour, and it is difficult to break through 100 kilometers per hour. Not to mention reaching a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.
To obtain ultra-high speed, Xu Yi currently thinks that the only feasible way is the fire magic engine.
It's just that the research and development of the fire-type magic power engine has only just begun, and there are still countless problems to be solved. When the fire-type magic power engine is truly formed, put into use, and the first fire-type power magic locomotive is produced, Even according to Xu Yi's most optimistic estimate, it would take at least five years.
If it is estimated normally, this time may be at least ten years.
Hearing Xu Yi's answer, Earl Summer and Chairman Pompey were not only not disappointed, but relieved.
If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can really produce such a magical motorcycle in a short period of time, then they will have to doubt whether Xu Yi is still human.
The convoy bypassed Sewell City and came to the selected Xinfei Chamber of Commerce production base in the west of the city.
Before Xu Yi led the convoy to come here, this base had already built up a piece of factory buildings.
Now it is only necessary to move the corresponding magic machine tools and other production equipment in, and the work can actually start officially.
This is also one of the more convenient aspects of Sainz Continent compared to Earth.
Because all magic locomotives are powered by magic crystals, there is no need to arrange circuits in advance like those factories on earth.
As for the water problem, because it is near the river, it is easier to solve.
In these days, Canby and other dwarves and the staff who came with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had already arranged the first batch of delivered materials.
Canby and others have even established a small magic machine tool research and development center, and have been conducting various tests on the new working environment of this magic machine in the past few days.
The test results show that because Sewell City is located in the north, it is especially cold in winter, and the magic machinery will be affected to a certain extent under the influence of this extremely cold weather. The most common is the lack of power.
This is not a problem for Xu Yi. This time, the convoy led by President Pomberry not only transported a large number of required magic machine tools, but also brought a batch of various household magic machines, including ten sets Magic air conditioner.
After placing these magic air conditioners around the workshop and stuffing enough magic crystals, ten magic air conditioners immediately blow out warm hot air, warming up the entire workshop in a short time.
Feeling the warm air blowing from the magic air conditioner, Xu Yi couldn't help but asked President Pompeili who was looking at the surroundings curiously: "Since you feel cold on the road, why don't you take out these magic air conditioners first?"
Chairman Pomberry glanced at Xu Yi quite unexpectedly.
"President Xu, are you doubting me? Our Filson Car and Horse Company is a professional logistics and transportation chamber of commerce. How can we take out the goods entrusted to us by customers for our own use. This will seriously affect The reputation of our horses and horses!"
Xu Yi laughed, nodded approvingly, turned his head to Earl Summer and said, "Your Majesty, you see, the reputation of Felson's Car and Horse Company is still very good. You should seriously consider taking over the business from Sewell City. The logistics and transportation are all handed over to them.”
Hearing Xu Yi's words, Chairman Pomberry glanced at Xu Yi gratefully, and then looked expectantly at Earl Summer.
Earl Summer pointed at Xu Yi with some amusement: "Tell me, what benefits does Felson's car dealership give you to recommend them so hard?"
"I'm telling the truth, aren't I?" Xu Yi shrugged, and continued: "My lord, I'm serious. In the future, we will have more and more connections between Banta City and Sewell City, and Sewell City After the city develops, it will have connections with other cities in the kingdom, and even with other countries and regions including the Duchy of Drake, and there is a great need for a professional logistics and transport chamber of commerce to undertake these tasks."
"Then why don't I find such a chamber of commerce in Sewell?" Earl Summer asked back.
Xu Yi winked at President Pomberry, who immediately slapped his chest and said loudly: "Master Earl, our Ferson Car and Horse Company intends to set up a branch here in Sewell City, Sir Earl. support!"
Earl Summer looked at Chairman Pompey, and then turned to look at Xu Yi.
"Xu Yi, in fact, you should understand. It's just that my promise is useless. The Northeast Province is not just our city of Sewell. Have you forgotten what happened on the road when you came this time? "
Xu Yi's eyes flashed coldly: "I will not give those people another chance." (To be continued...)
