Chapter 278 [A weapon for a strong country]!

(Two in one, seven thousand five hundred words~)

When Captain Hook and Chuck werewolf dressed in short clothes jumped onto the front and tail of two steam locomotives, two Hogwarts branch students acted as temporary "drivers".

In fact, the driver's job is easy to do, and there is basically a straight line from the square to the college gate.

As long as the front of the car starts, stop when you reach the place, and then start the front of the car at the rear of the car and drive back.

Captain Hook and werewolf Chuck acted as coolies - shovel coal.

Chen Daolin remembers that when he bought the steam locomotive in the museum in the real world, he once heard people in the museum introduce the way this steam engine works.

When running, you need to constantly add coal to the boiler and add it to it with shovels and shovels.

Moreover, it is said that when the steam locomotive heads were widely used in the early days, this coal processing had technical standards, requiring that twenty-seven shovels of coal be shoveled in one minute.

Only by meeting this standard can one take up the job.

This requires extremely strong physical strength. The magic students in the Magic Academy cannot do this job, so they have to let the two muscle male guards around them take the stage in person.

Who is Hook? He is a athlete fighting against wind and waves on the sea! He is also a man who can cut off the main mast of a sailboat with a short knife! Not to mention Chuck, a werewolf, is always known for his strong body and strength.

In front of everyone, I watched the steam engine gradually buzzing, and thick smoke came out of the chimney. Hook held a shovel in his hand and filled a shovel of coal into the boiler...

Then, the wheel really began to rotate slowly!

This time, it was an uproar!!

In this world, no one has ever shown or seen this pure mechanical power!

Seeing the long list of cars actually driving slowly under the front of the car, the audience and guests exclaimed in surprise!

Especially Dean Hugo of the German Academy of Culture, the fat old man shook his body! He couldn't even stand!

Then the great alchemist looked at Chen Daolin deeply and walked to his seat silently-his pace even staggered, reached out to hold his seat, and slowly sat down.

His actions were in sharp contrast to others: many noble guests could not even hold back and rushed up, chasing the back of the long list of carriages, marveling.

Even the magic teachers and professors in many academies, as well as the elders and bosses of the committees, can no longer sit still.

Dean Kurche, who was originally in a daze, had a white-haired old man, whose originally pale face suddenly turned red, so red that it was almost bleeding.

He stared at the front of the car with complicated eyes for a long time, and finally stomped his feet hard and flew to chase after him. At this moment, the old Kurche actually ran faster than the rabbit!

Angulo of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce danced and the fat man was almost crying wildly!

Self-running! This is really self-running!!

No manpower or livestock power! Just walk on land!

What is this called?

Boating on land!! Boating on land!!

A total of twenty tons of things were easily transported!! Once such a magic weapon was released, how much shock will it bring to the world?!

Angulu's heart was almost crazy, and he began various calculations in his mind!

The Pompeii Chamber of Commerce started out as a military supply supplier! As the largest military supply supplier in the empire, the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce was naturally responsible for supplying part of the military supply.

The fat man knows very well how much the cost is to transport military food supplies!

The land of the empire is actively vast. In order to confront the orc empire, maintain its deterrence against orcs on the northern border defense line, the Kaspersky defense line in the north must maintain a large number of troops all year round!!

But the north is not the empire's grain production area. More than 100,000 troops are stationed in the north, and these troops do not do production and are standard professional soldiers. The empire did not do anything like military farming (facts have proved that long-term military farming will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the army), so more than 100,000 troops stationed in the north need to transport a large amount of grain from the south to the north every year!

The grain production area in the south is a long journey of thousands of miles from the north!

Traditional transportation is borne by recruiting the carrying capacity of civilians, coolies, and livestock. But if you do so, the cost is really great!

The grain itself has a shelf life, and if it is not eaten for a long time, it will rot and become deteriorated. It is a long journey from the south to the north. It is a long journey of thousands of miles. People who are responsible for transportation have to eat some of the grain on the road, and some of the livestock that pulls the carts have to consume.

From the cost perspective, in this traditional way, every time one kilogram of grain is transported to the north, three kilograms must be consumed on the road!

Although as the empire's maritime industry gradually developed, and the establishment of seaports in the eastern coastal areas of the northern Kaspersky Line, inland channels were also opened, and grain could be transported to the northern estuaries and then transferred to inland transportation.

Shipping saves much more than traditional human and livestock power.

However, such efficiency is still not satisfactory. First of all, the Kaspersky line of defense is the military line of defense in the north of the empire.

The border between the Roland Empire and the Orc Kingdom is thousands of miles long! Inland river transportation can only be transported to areas close to the coast in the east. Going west, there will be no inland rivers that can be used, and it still has to be transported by land. Not only does the cost remain high, but it also takes up a lot of manpower and livestock power.

The empire's finances have caused a lot of waste every year for this.

Although we have also tried to develop grain production in the north, due to special climate and land reasons, grain production in the north has never been satisfactory and cannot be self-sufficiency on the spot.

In addition to transporting food and supplies, other military supplies are also a headache. For example, transporting armor, weapons - a! Army.

Many weapons, armor and equipment will be damaged in the year, and they will be constantly supplemented and replaced. It will naturally cost a lot of transportation capacity to transport these things to the north.

Some people may say, can't we recruit blacksmiths to produce locally?

But when producing locally, iron ore is needed to smelve iron locally! Iron does not fall from the sky out of thin air.

While transporting a truck of iron ore, a truck of grain must be transported. The grain is for the people and livestock to eat on the road.

Yes, a magician can certainly do this, allowing a magician to load a large amount of goods with a storage ring, and ride a broom to quickly transport a large amount of supplies from one place to another.

But don't forget that only magicians can do this kind of thing!

How many magicians are there in the entire human world? It’s just a few thousand people! And most of them are low-level mages, and they don’t have too strong abilities!

And the magicians with a little strength were all so harsh that they almost looked at people with their nostrils.

Could it be that more than a thousand magicians did nothing and changed their careers to help the imperial official deliver express delivery? Is this possible?!

Which magician would be willing to put aside his magical practice and do such things?

The "truck that you can walk by yourself" created by Chen Daolin soon allowed the shrewd Angulu to see the business opportunities and the huge wealth contained in it!!!

You can walk by yourself without consuming manpower and animal power, and the carrying capacity of transport seems to be very satisfactory from the moment... Twenty tons of goods can be easily pulled up!

The fat man's eyes were very vicious, and he had already seen that this kind of "self-driven bike" only requires very few people to control. As for the Hook who was holding a shovel and shoveling coal, such coolies could be found everywhere, it would cost much less than mules and horses.

At this moment, Anguluo did not rush to follow the carriage to watch the fun like others. His eyes were staring at Chen Daolin as if he was looking at a hen who could lay golden eggs!

At the same time, what made the fat man feel alert was the attitude of the woman in Tulip Workshop.

Fiona was also staring at Chen Daolin from a distance. There was a flush of excitement on each of the woman's cheeks, and her eyes were full of surprise. She almost wished she could swallow his whole body!

(This kind of talent actually made the damn fat man from the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce snatch it away first? It's absolutely not possible! Professor Darling's mind knows how many wonders there are in his mind - I want to! What's more... Even if he doesn't make anything new, it's just that this truck that can walk on his own, and the wealth contained during this period is enough to make Fiona weak when he thinks about it!)

Transportation is related to the national economy and people's livelihood of an empire!!

This is not just a money-making thing, but a powerful weapon for a strong country!!

When Fiona thought of this, she felt a fever in her whole body and wanted to immediately direct her subordinates to tie Professor Darling back!

Just as he was thinking, he felt a cold air. Fiona turned his head and saw that the fat man Angulu staring at him coldly, his eyes shining with a cold light, and he looked very alert.

Fiona sneered in disdain.

(Hmph, with the strength and status of the Tulip family, such a powerful weapon, how can you, a fat man, control it in your hands!)

No, you have to report this matter to the family immediately and ask the eldest lady to make the decision.

If such a big thing is reported in time, it will be considered a great achievement!

With the mysterious personal friendship between the young lady and Professor Darling, maybe the great god can be pried over directly from the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce. At that time, I will be considered a contribution to the rewards of my merits and will be attracted to the young lady's eyes. In the future...

The more Fiona thought about it, the more she looked brighter. She felt that she took the initiative to put down her airs a few days ago and ran to see Chen Daolin in a low position. This decision was really correct! Although she was a little dissatisfied at the time, after all, as the chief of the Tulip Workshop imperial capital, even the palace could enter! But she was ruthless when she came to ask for a young magician.

But now it seems that if I hadn't eased up with Professor Darling that day, how could I have achieved the same kind of gain today!

Professor Darling made a lot of effort in this competition! The twenty tons of supplies and the two hundred guards were all brought by him from Tulip's house! This favor was truly taken!

In fact, this series of trains went back and forth and backwards, and did not take it seriously.

After only five trips, Chen Daolin signaled his students: You can stop.

Moreover, during the transportation process, the goods on the vehicle were not unloaded and replaced with a manned person.

Anyway, this guy is all loaded, can you tell it at a glance if you pretend to be someone in the car? Do you need to deliberately pretend to be someone and run a few round trips?

Wouldn't this be sprinkling salt on the wounds of the elders of the Magic Academy?

This is not the case for a slap in the face.

Chen Daolinke still wants to continue hang out in the Magic Academy in the future. If he makes a mortal enemy, it will be a loss.

"Director Hugo, look, this competition can end here, right?" Chen Daolin walked to Hugo with a smile.

President Hugo was still sitting there and did not get up. Hearing this, the branch dean raised his head and looked at Chen Daolin with complicated eyes for a while, then he let out a heavy sigh.

The second-ranked figure in the Magic Academy actually stood up swayingly, then grabbed Chen Daolin's hand with both hands!

He held it very tightly and his tone was extremely solemn!

"Professor Darling, I can apologize to you on behalf of the German Academy!" Dean Hugo's voice was a little awkward, but his attitude was very clear: "It is no exaggeration to describe all this you created today as a miracle!"

As he said that, Hugo looked at several college veterans who were also sitting in the seat with a firm look.

And just in the distance, Dean Kurche walked back in dismay.
