Chapter 231 Transportation Issues
, Mini cocoon to be ugly. Jian Chen was a little surprised. Then I was pleasantly surprised.
Of course, he remembered what kind of conditions he had given to this old patriarch who was bent on helping his people fight, could it be that the halflings really had a way to deal with those heavy repeating crossbows that even the dwarves could not do?
Chen Jian rushed to meet the halfling patriarch in the castle hall.
But things are not as rosy as Jian Chen imagined, and Dominic is not here for the sake of heavy crossbows.
Facing Jian Chen's expectant inquiry, Dominic shook his head again and again: "Lord Lord, it's a shame to say, the structure of those heavy crossbows is really exquisite, although I have gathered the skilled craftsmen of the clan, it is impossible to imitate them in a short period of time, but for now, we already have some clues, please give us some more time!" ”
Speaking of Dominic, he sighed: "But the migration is imminent, our clan wants to join the battle to take revenge on the Krigans, but I'm afraid there is no hope, it's a pity, but Lord Lord, don't worry, even if you can't fight the Krigans, we will help you complete this, if nothing else, just for you to take in so many refugees from our tribe, so that they have a place to live, so that they will not be displaced, food and clothing."
Dominic's words made Chen Jian feel a little emotional, he knew that he was the right step to take in refugees, because of this kind of behavior, he should have gained a lot of people's hearts.
But if it weren't for the heavy crossbow thing, what would Dominic do with himself? Jian Chen couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Dominic, is there something wrong with you coming this time?" Is there something I need help with? Or do you have any questions about migration? ”
Now that Jian Chen has already released the news that he is going to migrate to an overseas island group through the magic portal, after all, it is a rather unfamiliar place, and the geographical environment is completely different, it cannot be ruled out that some people will change their minds, or have such and such concerns.
Speaking of business, Dominic immediately came to his senses: "Lord Lord, thank you for your concern, because of your care, there is no difficulty in our clan, and we have no opinion on the migration operation, anyway, no matter where it is, it is safer than staying here!" I'm here for another thing! My lord, it seems that you are planning to carry a lot of supplies this time? ”
Chen Jian nodded and said: "Yes, after all, be prepared, everything has to start again after the past, there is another, relatively barren place, prepare a little more for all kinds of materials, there are only benefits, there is no harm, anyway, it is to use magic to migrate, there is no need to travel a long distance, so I will prepare as much as possible!" ”
Dominic smiled: "With so many supplies, how does the lord plan to move over?" There must be some difficulties, right? ”
Chen Jian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, in this regard, he did encounter some problems.
Hammondal's transportation force is actually not strong, although there are a lot of carriages or something, but after these means of transport pass, they can't come back, because the portal is used in one direction, that is, unless Jian Chen asks Tren to go with the first batch of migrated teams, and then spend a lot of materials to build a portal on the side of the Evermont Islands to pass these means of transport back, otherwise, these means of transport can only be used once, and they can't exert much transportation capacity at all.
However, this is too unreasonable, and the high price of the magic materials required to build the portal is enough for Chen Jian to build several more transport fleets.
For this matter, Chen Jian also convened everyone for a discussion before, but there was no good solution, and in the end, Chen Jian could only consider mobilizing the people to carry them on their shoulders and pull the cart with manpower, no matter what, it is better to bring more than not to bring it.
But now that Dominic is full of confidence, is there anything he can do that can't be done? Jian Chen looked at this halfling patriarch with great anticipation.
"Lord Lord, we halflings have a special means of transport, I think we should be able to help in this migration, I have already had someone bring this kind of transport, just outside the castle, if you can, please allow them to bring things in!"
For Dominic's request, Chen Jian had nothing to do, and after a while, a halfling pushed a car that made Jian Chen's eyes shine into the castle hall.
"Unicycle? Why didn't I think of that? Chen Jian patted his head again and again in annoyance.
The small car that Dominic was carrying, although it was a little different from the wheelbarrow used on Earth in the image of Chen Jian, was very similar.
When Chen Jian was a child in his hometown, this kind of wheelbarrow was quite common, cheap and beautiful, convenient and lightweight this kind of manpower trolley in that generation, but it was quite common and important means of transportation in backward rural areas, Chen Jian once heard the older generation of people say that in the years of the revolutionary war, the logistics supply of the People's Liberation Army will sometimes rely on this means of transportation to a large extent.
If you are a skilled driver, you can use this kind of car to carry goods that far exceed your own physical strength, which is a fairly labor-saving tool, but it takes some skill to go.
However, with the development of the times, this kind of unicycle has begun to withdraw from the stage, and all kinds of things in the car have begun to become popular! After. Nowadays, it is rare to see such a wheelbarrow, and Chen Jian has lived in the city all these years, and he has not seen such a means of transportation for a long time, so he did not think that there is such a tool worth using.
The last thing that Hammondale lacks now is labor, and if this kind of wheelbarrow is used, the transportation power in Chen Jian's hands will undoubtedly be greatly strengthened.
Jian Chen's reaction made Dominic a little puzzled: "Lord Lord, have you ever seen this kind of car?" Whole. On the continent of Erathia, only we halflings have this kind of wheelbarrow, and it has only been a few years since it was developed, so have you dealt with other halfling tribes before? ”
Chen Jian smiled and didn't explain much, he walked to the side of the wheelbarrow, observed it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became.
Although this car is tailor-made for halflings, as long as the size is enlarged, other aliens and humans can also use it, and the structure of this car is not complicated, there must be mature manufacturing processes for halflings, and it is not difficult to mass produce them.
"Dominic, you have made a great contribution this time, and when everything is over, I will definitely reward you and your people!"
Hearing Jian Chen say this, Dominic's old face was about to burst into laughter: "Lord Lord, this is just a trivial matter, how can it be regarded as a credit!" After all, we are also a member of Hammondale now, and we should do our best, so there is no need for rewards, hahahaha! ”
Although he was prevaricating, the expectant look on the face of the halfling patriarch had already gone out of his true thoughts, and the halfling who came in with the cart on the side also had his eyes shining.
The two discussed some specific problems in making this kind of unicycle in batches, and then Chen Jian found Kesai and asked him to assist Dominic's work, allocate materials and manpower, and prepare to rush production.
Chen Jian, who had sent Dominic away and solved another matter, was in a good mood, but when he walked out of the hall and was about to check how the preliminary work of the relocation operation was progressing, this good mood immediately disappeared.
Because the beautiful angel Esrena followed behind Jian Chen with a dozen or so archangel warriors like tails.
Seeing these warriors of today's envoy clan, Jian Chen's anger did not come to one place.
Chen Jian went out, of course, with the lord guard led by Bruce, and the people on both sides were mixed together, and the ugly-faced Thor troll and a group of handsome guys and beauties of the angel clan walked together, which was really eye-catching.
And Chen Jian's emotions certainly affected the guards soldiers, and the Thor trolls obviously didn't have a good impression of these angels either, and the hostility between the two gangs was quite obvious.
There are exceptions, though, and that's Acerena.
Unlike the seriousness of the other Angel Warriors and Thor's trolls, this female angel had a smile on her face all the time.
In normal times, Jian Chen might have thought that it was a very pleasing thing to see such a beautiful woman smiling at him, but now, he just wanted to punch this face full of bright smiles that he didn't know whether it was true or not.
Knowing that it was useless to rush him, Jian Chen didn't pay attention to these birdmen with wings in his eyes, and simply treated them as transparent people, anyway, there were some important things that didn't let them know.
The first thing Jian Chen went to was the construction site of the magic portal, under the command of Tren, a large group of dwarves worked hard in sweat under the scorching sun, the dwarves' craftsmanship was indeed exquisite, just one day, the main body of the tall portal had been basically completed, Malkam carefully watched the progress of the work on the side, and from time to time took the drawings to ask Tren some questions.
It's also thanks to Malkem that he is a master magician himself, otherwise it would not be easy to understand Tren's drawings and specific processes by relying only on those dwarven craftsmen who are not interested in magic.
Seeing Jian Chen coming, Tren and Malkaem both walked over to say hello.
Tren patted his chest and assured Jian Chen: "Lord Lord, don't worry, it will be completed soon, and Master Malchem has already promised to help, and the magic power of the two of us should be able to support your first batch of migrants until all the teleportation is completed!" It's a pity Miss Temple isn't here, otherwise we'd have been able to teleport a few more things at once! ”
Hearing Tren mention the female magician, Jian Chen couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, Tren knew that he was speechless, and he was also a little embarrassed.
Sighing, Jian Chen said, "Tren Xianniu, please here!" ”
Tren laughed and said, "Lord Lord, you don't want to call me Mr. or Mr. anymore, just call me Tren, although I am older than you, but I am willing to make friends with you!" You're a good guy! I appreciate you for daring to speak harshly about someone like Catherine in that situation! Men should be like this, there are some things that must be done whether they can be done or not! It's a man's responsibility and obligation! Don't worry, with Kedrak here, Miss Temple will be fine." (To be continued)
