The opening ceremony of the Bangka Highway itself is nothing worthy of much attention. The only highlight is probably that after Earl Samore finished speaking, Prince Sevini also delivered a simple speech.

Although Her Highness didn't say much, and mostly expressed congratulations on the opening of the Bangka Highway, she clearly revealed a very important message from these words.

That is, His Majesty the King is very sure of the private chamber of commerce and clearly expressed his support for the investment in the construction of roads.

So the representatives of the major chambers of commerce present were immediately excited.

Since this matter has been clearly supported by the royal family, it proves that there is great potential.

What we need to see next is whether the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can make money from this highway.

This question disappeared immediately after a carriage in Filson's carriage returned to Bonta City.

Because the carriage set out from Bangta City at the beginning of the ceremony, it has only taken less than a morning after running back and forth!

All businessmen understand one truth, that is, time is money.

Before the Bangka Highway was not yet built, although it was less than 60 kilometers from Bangta City to Kalma City, it took more than half a day to get to the fastest carriage.

Now that the Bangka Highway is opened, the round trip takes less than one morning. If it is converted into one way, it will take less than two hours!

Compared to before, this undoubtedly saved a lot of time.

Not to mention that in the past, I rode 60 kilometers on a gravel road in a carriage, almost completely disintegrating my whole body. If I replaced it with goods, it would only be reduced to an extremely low speed. It might take a whole day to travel.

However, now the flat cement concrete floor on the Bangka Highway makes the carriage unable to feel any bumps when it is running.

In addition, this time, Filson's carriage replaced the previous traditional wooden wheels with new tires developed and produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which not only reduced the vibration of the carriage, but also made the carriage particularly lightweight and faster.

If it weren't for the help of this new tire, I'm afraid even on an extremely flat concrete road like Bangka Highway, it would have been impossible for only one morning to run back and forth between Bangta and Kalma.

So after the Bonta Daily published a special report on this new type of tire, a new wave emerged in Bonta City and several surrounding cities, that is, to replace tires for the carriage.

Just half a month later, all the carriages running in the streets and alleys of Bonta City and several surrounding cities have been replaced with new tires produced by the New Air Chamber of Commerce.

Now if any private carriage in the house is still using the previous wooden wheels, then he will not even have the shame to pull it out to meet people!

###

One night in mid-September, the City Lord's Mansion once again held a banquet, inviting almost all the presidents of the chambers of commerce and all the nobles in Bangta City.

"President Xu, I really admire you!" President Pompei, the president of Filson's carriage, raised the wine glass in his hand. He touched Xu Yi for a moment, and exclaimed sincerely: "Since your New Flight Chamber of Commerce was established, no matter what you developed, it will trigger a buying frenzy in Bonta City and the surrounding cities. It's fine with the magic machinery before, but after all, your New Flight Chamber of Commerce has always been focusing on making these things. I didn't expect that if you took out a tire so casually, it would actually trigger a craze."

Xu Yi shook his head and said, "President Pompeii. Don't underestimate the tires too much. This thing is not taken out casually. You should know that although it seems that it is just a simple set of steel rings, it actually contains many layers of various things. The pads in it have made the Armani Chamber of Commerce go back and forth countless times to satisfy me. Because of this, President Vincent has complained to me countless times and said that I am really picky."

In fact, seriously, the most important part of the tire is of course the outer tire.

However, Xu Yi has never discovered the existence of the rubber tree on the Synes continent. Although he had thought about making tires before, he had to give up because there was no rubber.

Later, when the elves of the Yege Tribe conducted strange formula tests on various resins according to Xu Yi's requirements, they accidentally tested a special resin with very similar characteristics to the processed rubber.

This resin comes from a plant called tear fruit by the elves.

After the fruit of this plant matures, it will form a round fruit that is as big as a person's head. If it is knocked open, white juice will flow out.

And after fusing this juice with several grass pollen and processing it with the special magic of the elves, it will become this special resin.

This resin has very similar characteristics to the processed rubber. Xu Yi immediately thought of using it as a tire.

Finally, after a series of related experiments, the elves of the Night Song Tribe successfully created the outer body.

Of course, the existence of this special resin is a secret of the New Air Chamber of Commerce, so Xu Yi naturally would not disclose it to President Pompei.

When Xu Yi mentioned President Vincent, President Pompei laughed: "But now that the tires are selling so well, their Armani Chamber of Commerce will definitely make a lot of money, and President Vincent will probably not blame you anymore."

Xu Yi smiled and looked at President Vincent who was chatting with several nobles in the distance. He thought that compared to asking the Armani Chamber of Commerce to repeat the pads countless times, what President Vincent wanted to complain to him the most was probably that until now, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had not been able to develop the magic textile machine he needed.

However, this is impossible. The current R&D personnel of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are really limited, and there are too many things that need to be developed. Xu Yi can only concentrate his efforts and select the things that need to be developed the most for research and development.

Compared with cotton spinning, a light industry that is not very important at present, it is obviously a priority to solve the most important things for the industrial system, such as energy collection and processing, road engineering construction, etc.

"By the way, President Xu, I haven't thanked you yet." President Pompei suddenly said again.

"Hmm? Thank me what do you think?" Xu Yi said.

"Of course, thank you for making a request to the Queen of the Princess for me. Now the Queen of the Princess has promised me that I can sell me the horses that cannot be used for military purposes in the royal horse farm. Although it is a bit expensive, for our carriage shop, how many horses we can have means how many carriages we can make and how big the business we can do." Pompei replied with a blushing face.

"This is nothing. I just mentioned it to His Highness the Princess." Xu Yi waved his hand and didn't care much. Then he asked curiously: "By the way, President Pompeii, how much does it usually cost to buy a horse in your carriage and horse store?"

"This is indefinite. The quality of horses is different, and the price is much different. The best type of BMW may require hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and our chamber of commerce cannot afford it. Generally speaking, most of the best horses are provided to the kingdom military except for those who are privately raised by the great nobles. Our chamber of commerce uses inferior horses, and one is usually around one hundred to two hundred gold coins." President Pompei replied.

"One hundred to two hundred gold coins?" Xu Yi thought for a while and asked again: "Then if you can give you something to replace these horses, the carriage can also drive faster, twice or even three times as fast as it is now, how much money would you like to buy it?"

President Pompei looked at Xu Yi in shock, paused, suddenly widened his eyes, and excitedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Yi's shoulder and said, "President Xu, do you think it's true? Is there really such a thing? Have you developed it in the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce? Tell me quickly! If there is really, even a 200 gold coin... no! I will definitely buy a 300 gold coin!"

Xu Yi was speechless. The last time he heard about tires, President Pompei was so excited. Now he heard that he had just revealed such a little meaning, and he was so excited.

Fortunately, he is still the president of a big chamber of commerce. As for how easy it is to make a fuss?

"This... has not been developed yet, and it is still in its early stages." Xu Yi pushed away President Pompei's hand and replied.

"Ah? Not yet." The excited expression on President Pompei's face turned into disappointment in an instant. "That's a pity. This kind of thing is really important to our Filson carriage. President Xu, can you tell me when it will be developed?"

Xu Yi shrugged: "I can't answer you this. This thing is very complicated and is far from being able to be successfully developed."

President Pompei thought for a while and said to Xu Yi seriously: "Okay. President Xu Yi, when the thing you said is developed, you must notify me in advance and sell it to us Filson's carriage first. Is it OK?"

"Let's talk about it then." Xu Yi responded vaguely.

The development of the engine is indeed very difficult, and Xu Yi was not even sure whether it could be successful in the development, so how could he easily agree to him?

Besides, if the engine is really developed successfully, it will have a wide range of uses. Of course, Xu Yi will not give any priority to it.

Seeing Xu Yi's answer vaguely, President Pompei frowned and wanted to say something else, but found that Count Samore had already walked out surrounded by the crowd, and could only shut up immediately and turn his eyes to Count Samore.

Under the gaze of everyone, Count Samo slowly walked up to the table in the middle of the banquet hall, looked around, raised his glass, and whispered: "Everyone, welcome to attend this banquet on studying how to better transform the city of Bonta."
Chapter completed!
