Chapter 303 Extra-long freight train
Chen Yi took the four Yuncun brothers on the subway again, in order to go to the warehouse near Times Square in the United States and bring back the Saxon wheeled armored conveyor that had been ordered two months ago. [Full text reading]
Equipped with spherical mounts and four shè holes on the left and right, these armoured vehicles were riot vehicles in the nature of riot vehicles, suitable for dealing with unarmed civilians rather than armies armed to the teeth, and were designed by the British primarily for police and SWAT officers for repression or repression.
In Chen Yi's eyes, knights below the fighting skill level in the Western Continent were even unarmed civilians, and their dense phalanx charge unique to the era of cold weapons was the best target for heavy machine guns. Although it was made 50 years ago, Saxon was mechanically reliable and suitable for use with heavy and light machine guns. Today's new equipment is becoming more and more automated, and although the number of crew members has decreased, the requirements for members have increased.
The trainees in the Western Continent will not be much better at driving armored vehicles than the natives, and with these 10 saxons, the road safety of the Xijiang Walled City should be guaranteed. With a total length of 40 kilometers of concrete roads, it is completely possible to send three detachments of indigenous soldiers to patrol in a loop, although it cannot guarantee absolute safety, but it should be enough.
The indigenous traders of this era were either sheltered in the ranks of the larger merchants, or they had to have a strong capital themselves, and occasionally they were attacked and died, as long as the number was small, and it was within their tolerance - the price of the goods sold by the merchants included the risk of their death.
The car went smoothly, and Chen Yi also went to the Lower East Side to buy Jewish takeaways and bought more than 80 tons of paper from Africa through Emily in the New York market.
These materials were collected and sorted out by her in the last month or so, after all, Chen Yi's requirements are very high, and her working hours are short. Of course, the $10,000 monthly part-time income paid by Chen Yi is still quite considerable, no less than the tip on Fifth Avenue.
Chen Yi then sent the more than 20 tons of paper to the Kingdom of St. Chio, which once again caused a burst of exclamation, although Grand Magician Timothy knew that the "masters" of the past generations were getting stronger and stronger, but he didn't expect it to be so quickly strong to this point.
In his eyes, it was not 80 tons of special paper, but more than 8 million sheets of scroll paper, whether low-level or high-level, enough to fight a long-term war.
Those Kingdom knights who stand on the upper floor of the magic tower can only use "master might" to express the strong emotions in their hearts, from the third line being * to the third line counterattack, only need such a "little" change.
Chen Yi, who received 1.27 billion yuan in an instant, began to study the seized materials on the crystal screen. As far as he could see, the crystal screen had a lot of restrictions on items, basically only the magic-like items carried by the captured magicians would be listed on the crystal screen, and any things that the kingdom of San Chio itself had should be excluded. This is true for the Space Storage Ring, the Skill Replica Scroll, and the Phantasmal Wand, which has recently gained more because of the victory in the battle, but it is estimated that it is only the harvest of two or three mages - from the perspective of war, unless it is a war of annihilation formed by extreme luck or absolute strength, the chance of resurrecting a mage is almost zero, and the killing situation will occur from time to time.
Because of this, the seized materials are often relatively novel, and what Chen Yi saw was about the items seized from the alchemist, with strange names, so he asked Timothy: "Tell me about these things." ”
"Yes, Master. The Eternal Light is a piece of equipment that lights up continuously and can be used in a dark environment for two days......"
Chen Yi thought for a moment and understood: it's just a light bulb.
"Eternal water is the ...... that can evolve sewage into clean water"
Chen Yi shook his head, the sewage purifier is worthless.
"Evergrande treasure can transform one raw material into another."
Substance converters? Chen Yi raised his head in surprise and quickly determined the price of 2 million gold coins, since the paper was transported by truck, his number of gold coins had quickly risen to the point that the Kingdom of San Chio could not afford.
Full of hope, the "Evergrande Treasure" disappointed Chen Yi. Perhaps, this should be called the blackmail of the crystal screen.
"Evergrande Treasure" is simply a miniature boiler, but it can fill it with oxygen or other gases, so as to oxidize a pure raw material...... In addition to the exquisite design, it is worth a máo on earth.
Seeing that the face of the "master" was not good, Timothy also said worriedly: "Recently, there have been mostly large-scale positional battles, and this alchemical prisoner was also occasionally caught during the march of the fleet. ”
Large-scale positional warfare was preceded by large-scale positional warfare defense. Although the Magic Continent where the Kingdom of San Kio is located has a long civilization, the living standards of civilians are very low, the consumption of soldiers is very large, and the logistics are difficult. Unless a team of mages can survive without supplies for a long time, other tactics of splitting are almost impossible to achieve.
Chen Yi hid his disappointment and asked, "Continue to talk about the back." ”
"Yes, a mana generator that produces flames and is used to forge high-grade metal ......"
"High temperature flames. Maybe it's better than an alcohol blowtorch. Chen Yi said it directly, and in his eyes, this unlucky alchemist was more like a failed inventor.
Timothy said "yes" and finally introduced: "The water and land god box can float on water, and can also be pulled by camel beasts or puppets on smooth roads, but ...... Weighing 250 tons, 1500 meters long, 30 meters wide and 10 meters high, it is divided into 30 sections, which is more suitable for being pulled by a fleet at sea. ”
As His Excellency the Wise Great Magician, Timothy had long been familiar with the earth's weights and measures in order to facilitate communication with Chen Yi.
Chen Yi laughed: "If you can pull the boat, you can load it yourself...... Haha......"
The laughter stopped.
Chen Yi turned his face and said, "How much does it bear?" ”
"Load? I don't know ......."
"When you captured the magician, his fleet was used to tow it?"
"Yes, there are 30 large ships towed, but there is very little cargo in them, and it is said that they are worried that they will sink if they are full."
Really useless design but worked for me.
Chen Yi didn't know how strong the traction needed to take away this big guy who was several times longer and several times wider than the train, but he must always be able to solve it. In contrast, the amount of transportation it can increase for itself is a hundredfold.
He patted himself on the head and thought, "What a stupid thing, if you want to buy more trucks, why not nòng a train that can be towed on land, and the subway is on the railroad in the first place—well, the Chan's hypermarket is going to be demolished too."
"Master?"
"Oh. I took this. Chen Yi paid 82 million gold coins and made a transaction smoothly.
"Wait a minute." Timothy didn't expect him to choose such a bulky item, when it was sent back to the kingdom of Sanchio, it was as a trophy to show off, 2 red-robed mages and 20 great magicians, plus hundreds of camel beasts to bring it back, the cost is really not low.
"Is the alchemist still there?"
"Oh, yes."
Chen Yi nodded slightly and said, "Take care of him, so that he can think about the manufacture of such items again." ”
"Such items?" Timothy couldn't understand it at all.
"Stuff to load." Chen Yi pointed to the truck behind him and said, "I will be able to send more things over in the future." ”
"Master...... Wise," Timothy rejoiced, as if he were an advanced archmagician.
……
The water and land god chamber is really big and stupid.
Its length is equivalent to 60 passenger train cars, 135 freight wagons, and the width is more than 7 times that of ordinary trains, with a slight increase in height, in terms of volume, it is about 450 passenger cars and 1,000 freight cars.
If we look at it with the common passenger train, it is indeed a long metamorphosis, equivalent to the length of thirty or forty passenger cars, but if we compare it with the freight train of the extra-long train, it is not very powerful -- the longest freight train in China should belong to the heavy-duty coal car of the Daqin line, with 270 carriages for the 20,000-ton train and 500 cars for the 40,000-ton train in the experiment...... The designers of the earth are not inferior to the alchemists of another continent when conditions permit.
The mages dismantled the water and land god compartment into 30 parts and sent it into the subway, and then taught him how to install and disassemble it, and when the magic subway returned to Jiangning, it was Chen Yi's turn to worry.
There must be so many things in the subway station, so Chen Yi had no choice but to continue to challenge the limits of the magic subway. Like a guy occupying a position, he placed a section of the water and land god car horizontally in front of the subway door, and then dragged out another section, put it under the parking lot of the Jiangning hypermarket, and then returned to the subway station.
Thankfully, the magic subway was still parked there, with a train stuck in the door, cocking its top.
The difference between the sījia subway and the public subway is like the difference between 二nǎi and jinu, the former is always waiting for you, and the latter is asking you to wait in line.
As far as technology is concerned, in addition to being able to float on the water, the only thing that is commendable is its weight, 1500 meters long is only 250 tons, needless to say, His Excellency the Alchemist must have used a lot of precious materials, otherwise it is not worth 82 million gold coins, if it is really exchanged for g yuan, this money is enough to build a Daqin line.
The parking lot couldn't fit as many as 30 cars, so it was dragged until the evening, and then found a trailer to hook up the makeshift pallet trucks and tow them to the nearby Jiangjing storage area. Most of the trailers and pallet trucks came from the army, some of them were the standard equipment for transporting tanks, and some were modified by the engineering regiments in Jiangning themselves. If it weren't for Chen Yi's identity, not to mention that Nòng couldn't get these equipment, there would have been a lot of trouble in the process of transportation - the traffic police directly blocked the road traffic in the distance, which could almost be regarded as a serious violation.
Of course, for the sake of the leader or the leader's children violating the rules, that is the greatest happiness of the power person, and the traffic police captain with an olive branch is willing to do it.
