A convoy of more than twenty freight magic locomotives and a medium-sized magic bus is speeding along the roads of the northeastern province of the Lampari Kingdom.

Since the speed of the carriage far outpaces the horse-drawn carriage, the convoy will always involuntarily shake as it passes over the bumps on the ground.

"Bang-"

Passing by a deep pit again, the entire body of the relatively small medium-sized magic bus in the convoy shook violently, shaking all the dozen or so passengers in the car to bounce off their seats.

Xu Yiyi fell on his butt on the seat, and although the special soft seat seat of this medium-sized magic bus offset most of the impact, it still shook his butt and made him frown.

"This road is too badly repaired......" Kanby, who was sitting next to Xu Yi, couldn't help but let out a complaint even though he had the strong body of a dwarf.

"This kind of road condition is also worthy of being called a highway?"

"It's just that it's much worse than the road on our side of Bangta City, and the Amrley Chamber of Commerce is too cutting corners when building this road. ”

"I don't know who is undertaking this highway here? The road is so badly repaired, I think they should be mainly responsible, but I am afraid it has nothing to do with the Amrley Chamber of Commerce. ”

"How can it not matter much? This road was built by the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, and the people who undertake this road can't deliberately let the Amrley Chamber of Commerce build it like this, right?"

"That's not necessarily ......"

......

Several other researchers from the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who came with Camby also rubbed their butts and complained.

Listening to their complaints, Xu Yi opened the window and poked his head out.

Eyes swept over the road surface of the road and the road ahead. Xu Yi suddenly frowned deeply.

If it's just one or two places, the road conditions are not good. After all, the Amritri Chamber of Commerce's technology for building roads is still not comparable to that of Earth. The quality of the roads is certainly not as good as those on the planet.

But as far as Xu Yi could see, this set of cement roads was actually full of potholes, except for the cement coating that could be seen on the surface, showing that it was originally a road, at first glance it was even worse than the old dirt roads that can still be seen everywhere in the Lampari Kingdom.

Xu Yi's gaze naturally shifted to the roadbed part of this highway, and after sweeping his eyes, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

The thickness of the cement layer of this road is not even ten centimeters, no wonder it has been broken into such a short period of time.

This is also due to the fact that the main traffic road in the Lampari Kingdom is still horse-drawn carriages. The maximum cargo capacity will not exceed one ton.

In other words, those large trucks in the area that carry dozens or even hundreds of tons of goods at every turn are afraid that the cement pavement of this highway will be crushed into pieces in minutes.

After scolding in his heart, Xu Yi retracted his head, closed the window, to prevent the cold outside from continuing to blow in, and then looked down at the map spread out in his hand, looked for it, and pointed his finger at a point marked on this map.

"We should be here now, right?" Xu Yi nodded.

Camby looked over, "Well, that's right, it should be in Lemart City soon." ”

"Lemart City ......" Xu Yi thought for a moment. He frowned slightly.

According to the information he had gathered in advance, the lord of Lemat City was from the Will family. The Will family is a staunch conservative in the Lampari Kingdom, and has long declared their support for Prince Eric, and their attitude towards the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is very unkind.

Previously, when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wanted to implement the expansion policy and prepare to build production bases in various cities in the Lampari Kingdom, it once offered to invest and build factories in Lemat City, but was rejected by the city lord of Lemat City in an extremely strong tone.

"I don't know if the road conditions of this road have anything to do with this...... Xu Yi muttered, turned his head and explained to Camby: "Camby, write it down, and when you go back, you must study the shock absorption system of the magic locomotive." We can't expect all roads on the continent to be as flat as the Rainy Highway, so the magic locomotives we produce must be able to adapt to all road conditions. “”

"Shock absorption system?" Camby was stunned. "What's going on with this?"

"Hmm...... It's a hassle to be specific, so I'll do some research with the Magic Research Institute when I get back. The initial consideration was to use the wind magic to cushion the body and reduce the impact and vibration caused by the uneven road surface. As for how to do it, we have to go back and study it again. ”

"Cushioning the entire body?" Camby frowned. "Then how do you connect the body to the turf if you want to create a buffer space for the wind magic to flow out?"

"Remember the suspension structure I mentioned to you earlier?" Xu Yi reminded. "Although the technology is already used in the medium-sized magic bus we are in now, after a trip on this road, I don't think it's enough. Since there is such a handy thing as wind magic, of course we should take advantage of it. ”

"Hmm...... Using wind magic as a cushion is of course much better than a hard spring. But how exactly should the structure be done......" Camby pondered for a moment and discussed with several researchers from the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center around him.

Not all of these researchers are now dwarves, but also several humans who have joined later and are very talented in mechanics, and when they heard about Xu Yi's shock absorption system, they excitedly put forward their own ideas.

For a while, the car fell into a heated discussion.

Listening to the heated discussion between Camby and the researchers, Xu Yi smiled and did not participate in it, but looked at the map in his hand again.

This map of the kingdom of Lampari bears some resemblance to the one he hung in his study in Falling Star Manor, with some red-altered on it.

The place painted red means that in the corresponding city, the Chamber of Commerce related to the magic industry has infiltrated it.

Within the confines of Bonta City, there are naturally a bunch of red dots, almost all of which are dyed red, and outside Bonta City, Kalmar City, Saltan City, Norton City, Canberra City, and even Karamay City, Anvimar City and other cities hundreds of kilometers away from Bonta City are also dyed red, indicating that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce related to the magic industry have infiltrated these cities.

In addition to these current key development cities, many other cities in the Lampari Kingdom have been drawn by Xu Yi with a small red circle, indicating that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce or other magic industry-related chambers of commerce are about to enter or plan to enter these cities to invest and build factories, and these cities will also be included in the scope of influence by the magic industry.

However, there is still a large area on this map that remains untouched, completely unstained.

Lemart City is one of them.

Looking at these seemingly completely untouched areas, Xu Yi frowned deeply.

The reason why these places are not affected by the magic industry that is currently thriving throughout the Lampari Kingdom is simply because they are all in the sphere of influence that supports Prince Eric.

The reason why they have a magic industry is actually to show their opposition to Princess Severny by boycotting the magic industry, and indirectly support Prince Eric.

This is simply a political reason, and nothing else.

Xu Yi was disgusted by this situation, but he was also very helpless.

The political factor is not something that he can influence and control now, and for the time being, he can only passively wait and see.

And His Majesty, who played a decisive role in this factor, suddenly seemed to disappear during this time, without making any sound or giving any instructions.

What Xu Yi couldn't understand the most was that even His Royal Highness Prince Eric planned to rectify the Zhenbei Army's counterattack on the Sark Kingdom, and His Majesty didn't express any opinion.

Although Major McConley explained that this was because he had promised not to interfere in any of their decisions when he made the two princes and His Royal Highness the princess of the three cities the city lords of each city, it was still extremely strange that he still did not say a word about the counterattack on the kingdom of Sark, which was closely related to the entire kingdom of Lampari.

Although Xu Yi knew almost nothing about military affairs, the previous Zhenbei Army had always been in a reluctant defensive posture in the face of the offensive of the Sark Kingdom, and the reason why it was able to counterattack the Muerto Mountains at the beginning of this year was also because of the support of a large number of new types of armaments.

And now that Prince Eric has refused to continue to purchase all kinds of military magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then the combat effectiveness of the Zhenbei Army will not be much higher than before, how can it be possible to counterattack the Sark Kingdom and succeed?

Xu Yi did not believe that His Majesty the King could not see this, but His Majesty did not express any objection to the actions of His Royal Highness Prince Eric, which is really puzzling.

"His Majesty the King is not going to sit idly by and watch His Royal Highness Prince Eric go to his death......"

Xu Yi was startled by the terrible thoughts that appeared in his mind, and quickly shook his head vigorously.

This idea is too ridiculous, no matter how ruthless His Majesty the King is to His Royal Highness Prince Eric, at least the Zhenbei Army is innocent, and His Majesty the King can't let the Zhenbei Army bury His Royal Highness Prince Eric.

"Maybe His Royal Highness Prince Eric actually has other plans, and His Majesty the King is also well aware of this, so he doesn't express his opinion?"

After Xu Yi just gave a more reasonable explanation in his mind, the body suddenly shook slightly, but it stopped.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yi looked up in amazement and found that the entire convoy had stopped.

After a while, there was a sudden quarrel ahead.

Xu Yi heard one of the voices being Ankato, who was in charge of opening the way at the front of the convoy, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

A moment later, a staff member of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, who was in charge of transporting goods on a freight locomotive in front, ran over breathlessly.

Seeing Xu Yi, who was poking his head out of the car window to check the situation, he said angrily: "Lord, the road is closed in front!" (to be continued......)
