Chapter 161: Magic Steamship Sailing Test
With worries about Viscount Leslie, Xu Yi left Anwemar City and headed for Bonta City, which had been absent for more than a month.
To his relief, when he left Anvimar City, a total of thirty-seven orc girls from the Crescent Crescent Song and Dance Troupe, including Avril, a total of thirty-five chose to leave with him and return to Bonta City.
The remaining fox girl and a rabbit girl chose to stay, and Xu Yi did not embarrass them, so they signed an agreement to quit the Crescent Moon Song and Dance Troupe, and then gave each of them a severance pay of 500 gold coins, and went with them.
Together with Xu Yi and Linda, a total of 37 people, loaded with two medium-sized magic buses, quickly marched towards Bangta City.
Originally, according to Xu Yi's scheduled plan, on the way back, he would go to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sub-bases in several cities along the way to do some inspection, but because he had been outside for too long, Xu Yi now missed Steele very much, so he ordered to go straight to Bonta City without stopping at all.
There was already a complete road connection between Bangta City and Anvimar City, so with the full drive of the medium-sized magic bus, it only took one afternoon for Bangta City to be close at hand.
Looking at the familiar Sandy River on the distant horizon reflecting the pale yellow light in the setting sun, Xu Yi felt a sense of excitement in his heart to finally return home.
It's been almost seven years since he crossed into this world, and the struggle for survival in the first three years made Xu Yi unable to feel at home in this world at all.
Later, he settled in Bonta City, founded the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and got married. There will be children born soon. That's when he really felt like he was part of the world. It also made Bangta City his hometown in this world in his mind.
And the Falling Star Manor is naturally his home.
After the medium-sized magic bus got from the newly built Sandy River Bonta Bridge, which was erected by a reinforced concrete structure, Xu also asked the driver to bypass the road outside the city without entering Bangta City, preparing to go straight to the Falling Star Manor.
After driving along the riverbank and becoming along the river avenue, Xu also noticed that a group of people had gathered on the riverbank in front of him, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Xu Yi curiously leaned out of the car window to look, but found a familiar figure in the center of the crowd.
"She's not staying at home. Why did you get here?"
The thought flashed in his heart, and Xu Yi added a wind resistance technique to himself in the panic of the other orc girls in the car, and flew out directly from the car window, instantly crossing the distance of more than a hundred meters in the middle, and falling in the crowd.
Suddenly, a person fell from the sky, which immediately caused the crowd to exclaim.
After seeing the man's face clearly, everyone exclaimed again.
"President Xu!"
"It's actually President Xu!"
"President Xu is back!"
......
Xu Yi ignored the reactions of the crowd around him, and looked at Steele in front of him, covering his mouth with his hand, and looking at him with a look of surprise and disbelief. Unceremoniously pulled her into his arms and pulled away her hand covering his mouth. He poked his head out and kissed him heavily.
The crowd around erupted into a commotion again, and many people even whistled loudly and applauded vigorously.
After a while, Xu Yicai let go of Steele, looked at Steele with a slightly red face and gasping for breath, and smiled: "Steele, I'm back." ”
Steele showed an extremely happy smile, reached out and groped Xu Yi's face, and sighed lightly: "Xu Yi, you have lost weight and become dark, are you not having a good time going out this time?"
"It's normal to be running outside as well as being at home. Xu Yi laughed, and then added: "It's none of Linda's business, you can't blame her for not serving me well." ”
Steele rolled her eyes, glared at Xu Yi, and snorted softly: "Of course she served you well, I won't know?"
Hearing Steele's accentuated voice on the word "service", Xu Yi smiled awkwardly, and quickly changed the topic and asked, "By the way, why don't you stay at home honestly, what are you doing here?" It's so cold, you can't protect yourself." ”
"I'm not that fragile yet. Steele shook his head and turned to point in the direction of the upper Sandy River. "Look, you'll know what's going on in a minute?"
Unexpectedly, Steele also sold Guanzi, Xu Yi had to wonder while gossiping with Steele while watching the situation upstream.
After less than a minute, a black dot suddenly appeared upstream, and then quickly approached.
After a while, Xu Yi took a closer look and found that the black spot was a ship.
If you get closer, you can see even more clearly that this is a small single boat that can only take one person.
The speed of the one-man boat on the riverside was extremely fast, and the speed was at least thirty kilometers per hour, and it did not take long for it to be from the far upper reaches to the short distance.
Looking at this one-man boat, Xu Yi was surprised and delighted.
"No, when I left, these guys obviously told me that it would be a long time before the research and development was successful, why did they even build the real thing after I went out and went around?"
Steele pursed his lips and smiled, "That's why they're lying to you." ”
Xu Yi watched the one-man boat approach quickly, then stopped on the bank of the river where the crowd gathered, and was surprised to see the boatman who got up from the boat.
This boatman is actually the Grand Magician Camilla!
Xu Yi whispered to Steele with a strange expression: "Hey, Steele, grandpa can't even learn how to drive a magic locomotive, how can he let him drive this ship?
Before Steele could reply, Grand Magician Camilla's voice was already loud.
"Hey, boy, my ears are very sharp, don't let me not hear it! Sue you, I can't drive a magic locomotive, but it doesn't mean that I can't drive this magic ship either!"
Xu Yi hurriedly turned around and greeted him with a smile.
"Grandpa, I didn't say you must not be able to drive well, but ...... This should be what they are doing, why did they get you involved?"
"I'm willing to come myself. What, do you have an opinion?" said Grand Magician Camilla's eyes.
"No, no, no. How can I have an opinion. It's good if you're happy. ”
Xu Yi rolled his eyes, and found several researchers from the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the crowd, and immediately pulled out a few of them.
"Hey, isn't it already a holiday? Why don't you all have a holiday, and you still come here to do this?"
The researchers didn't notice the reproach in Xu Yi's tone at all, but said to Xu Yi excitedly: "Lord, look! This is a record of a total of seventeen realizations we have made today. It turns out that this magic steamer can even reach a top speed of 37 kilometers per hour! Not much worse than a magic locomotive!"
"Oh?" heard the number jù. Xu Yi didn't care about continuing to blame them, snatched the records in their hands, read them carefully, and found that they had actually tested all day today.
The test standard is from the upper reaches of the Sandy River, which is 1,000 meters away, as the www.biquge.info of Biqu Pavilion, and ends here.
As you can see, the first test takes the longest, and then each time it gets faster than the last.
The most recent time, which Xu Yi saw, the magic steamer test ship actually took less than two minutes to fly here from a thousand meters away.
However, after reading the record, Xu Yi frowned.
"Is there only a number of those that go downstream?
Several researchers looked at each other. The expression was a little awkward.
"This ...... Lord Grown, this small Powership is currently in the experimental phase. The power of the magic engine is not so sufficient, the results of the countercurrent...... It's really ugly. ”
Xu Yi's eyes widened: "Don't you record the ugly number of jù? Didn't I say many times that the real yàn is just to find problems, and then solve them according to these problems?
"I don't blame them, I told them not to record it. Steele suddenly walked over and interjected.
"You?" Xu Yi looked at Steele in confusion. "Why?"
Steele didn't answer, just gestured to Grand Magician Camilla, who was discussing the thrill of piloting the magic ship with the crowd of onlookers.
Xu Yi glanced at the great magician Camilla who was full of excitement, guessed a little, and returned the number to the researchers.
"Okay, that's all for today's real yàn. Remember, in the future, when doing real yàn, try not to do it in the presence of so many people. Not just for confidentiality, but also for security. Got it?"
Several researchers responded.
"Also...... In view of the significant breakthrough you have made in the study of the Magic Steamer, I propose a third-level reward to you in the name of the President. Xu Yi smiled and added.
Several researchers were stunned for a moment, and at the same time burst into cheers.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, it would be great if I could get an extra level 3 reward at this time!
Seeing that the researchers of the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center wanted to take away this one-man magic ship, Grand Magician Camilla was still a little unwilling, but was dissuaded by Xu Yi and said that Steele needed to go back and have a good rest, so he gave up.
"Hey, boy, when this thing is really developed, I'm going to get one as soon as possible, understand?" On the way home, Grand Magician Camilla told Xu Yi with a stern face.
Xu Yi responded with some tears and laughter.
This Camilla magician used to have an old-fashioned personality, why was he so enthusiastic about this new type of mechanical power driving tool?
Not only the previous bike, but also the later magic motorcycle, he liked it very much.
Now that the magic steamer is still in the experimental stage, he actually volunteered to come and ask to be the real driver.
"Maybe it's because he's learning to drive a magic locomotive and wants to save face on the magic steamer?" Xu Yi guessed in his heart.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi thought of the magic airship that Evita was researching.
When the magic airship is conducting a manned flight test, because it is flying in mid-air, the danger factor is very high, and it will definitely need to arrange a magician who is proficient in flight magic to go up at that time.
If you look at it this way, Grand Magician Camilla is a very good candidate. (To be continued......)
