After coming out of Lu Shou, Tianxing did not leave the ant nest but went to another area of the ant nest. This is an area specializing in transportation research and development. After being inspired by Lu Shou's pistol, Tianxing was imagining that since the crystal core of Feng Rabbit It can drive bullets. So can the crystal nuclei of other creatures be used in the same way as the earth crystal nuclei?
So Tianxing set up a new department in this huge base to develop carriages for transportation. He hoped to discover a crystal core that could drive the carriages. Although there were already magic carriages on the mainland, this It is difficult to popularize things. Magic cars, as the name suggests, use the principles of magic to drive vehicles.
Alchemists carved some complex magic circles on the carriage and used the crystal core to drive the carriage. However, such magic carriages are very expensive and consume an astonishing amount of money. Therefore, such vehicles are just items for the nobles to show off and cannot be popularized. Now Tianxing I hope that we can develop the use of low-grade crystals to drive ordinary vehicles, so as to achieve the purpose of rapid transportation.
"See Your Majesty."
Wei Kong. The main person in charge of the transportation research department. Wei Kong comes from a very poor background. Craftsmen are the least valued people on the mainland. Their living standards are extremely low. They mainly work as alchemists and do not need to do anything. The tools serve civilians. Wei Kong is one of them.
But since Tianxing took control of this area, all the situation has changed. The craftsmen who were once at the bottom have been valued by Tianxing. Their living standards have been greatly improved. Countless craftsmen with special skills have been hired by the principality. They No longer have to worry about three meals a day.
After solving the problem of food and clothing, these people's inventions and creations emerged one after another. Wei Kong was the best among them. By chance, Tianxing discovered Wei Kong's ability. In the end, Tianxing handed over this department to him. Tianxing was responsible for Wei Kong. His trust allowed Wei Kong to unleash his infinite potential. Therefore, since entering the ant nest, Ma Wei could be said to have spent all his time studying the tasks assigned to him by Tianxing.
"Excuse me, Master Wei. Your body is more important than anything else. Look at you, you are a whole lot thinner than before you came here. No research is as important as your body. I order you to clean up and have a good rest now. Get some rest." Come see me now. I’ll look around first.”
Tianxing looked at the haggard Ma Wei in front of him, and reprimanded him with a straight face. Wei Kong was the craftsman Tianxing found to have the most potential. If something bad happened, where would Tianxing find someone to replace him? So he directly attacked Ma Wei. A strange order.
"Yes. Wei Chen is resigning."
After hearing Tianxing's words, Wei Kong bowed excitedly and left. Tianxing's words moved Wei Kong very much. He had also worked for those nobles before, but those nobles always looked like they were wearing high-end clothes. They didn't even look at them. He didn't even look at himself. Occasionally, those nobles would be scolded when they were in a bad mood. Tianxing was not only very kind to him but also promoted him. Now he actually cares about his body so much. Can he not dare to move?
After Ma Wei left, Tianxing began to visit the entire research base under the leadership of his servant. There were some half-developed vehicles everywhere in the base. Countless craftsmen were busy working at their respective positions. Everyone was so nervous. The monograph is so happy.
Although they can't leave here, the environment here makes everyone very satisfied. Compared with the previous life, the current life is simply enjoyable. Not only is the food good, but also the wages are high. As long as they work here for ten or eight years, they will be happy. It can make a family live happily for a lifetime. How can they not be satisfied? How can they not be happy?
"Your Majesty! Please come here with me and have a look."
Soon after, Wei Kong appeared in front of Tianxing with a brand new look. The dirty clothes were replaced by clean official uniforms. The messy hair had been thoroughly washed. Even the beard on his face had been shaved clean. Now Ma Wei could no longer see the haggard appearance he had just now. Ma Wei walked to Tianxing's side with a glowing face, and mysteriously led Tianxing to the other side.
Four tiger guards with swords stood in front of the deepest cave in the base. After seeing the sky star, they immediately stood up straighter. At the same time, they saluted the sky star together and opened the door behind them. Behind the door It is a wide cave. The entire Shandong is empty. There is only a solitary object in the middle. And this object is covered by a black cloth. It is impossible to tell what it is from the appearance.
"Your Majesty, please take a look. This is the transport vehicle we have just developed. The wheels are made of a special magic material. They are very wear-resistant and anti-skid. With them, the vehicle can travel quickly on any road. And there are many Strong shock absorption.”
"The body is made of a special metal that we have recently developed. It is not only light but also strong. The entire vehicle is five meters long and two meters wide. It can carry thirty soldiers or load three tons of cargo. And it can carry 3 tons of cargo per day. It can travel 40 kilometers per hour. If the road is smooth, it can travel up to 50 kilometers per hour."
"We use the crystal core of the Demon Cow to drive the vehicle. After research, we conducted countless experiments. Finally, we found that only the Crystal Core of the Demon Cow can be used for this. Other crystal nuclei cannot be used. A magic cow's crystal core can support a distance of 20 kilometers."
"However, the cost of making this thing is very staggering. The speed is also very slow. All workers can only produce two such vehicles a month. At the same time, its consumption is also amazing. This kind of crystal core is only available in areas controlled by barbarians. It only exists in the body of the Demon Cow. There is no such creature anywhere else. Therefore, the crystal core of the Demon Cow is very expensive."
"Secondly, the performance of the vehicle is still very unstable. Maintenance is also very troublesome. Basically, it needs to be repaired once every 100 kilometers. Now we are working on ways to improve it. But there is currently no good way to overcome this situation. In the end, this is This kind of vehicle is difficult to drive. It takes three months for the average person to learn to drive it skillfully."
After Tianxing stood in front of the mysterious object, Wei Kong immediately pulled away the black cloth that was supposed to be on it. A strange vehicle appeared in front of Tianxing. It looked like a square box. No matter what its shape was, It's strange. But Tian Xiong was shocked by his attributes.
Such a vehicle is completely beyond Tianxing's imagination. It seems that the creativity of the craftsmen is really scary. It is completely comparable to the speed of a war horse. With this thing, a large amount of materials and personnel can be quickly transported. What kind of war is it? Fighting is nothing more than logistics. Once logistics is guaranteed, you can attack over long distances.
"Okay. Very good. You gave me a big surprise. From today on, these two vehicles will be called Star Chariot. On other things, you can temporarily put down all your efforts to improve the Star Chariot. If you don't have enough manpower, I will send you some. Try to fight for it. Produce more tanks like this. From now on, our transportation will depend on them."
