Chapter 121 Magic Locomotive Damping System

A convoy of more than 20 freight magic locomotives and a medium-sized magic passenger car raced quickly on the road in the northeastern province of the Lampari Kingdom. (Apex Fiction)

Since the speed of the vehicle far exceeds that of the carriage, the convoy will always shake involuntarily when passing through the bumps on the ground.

"boom--"

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

Xu Yi fell on the seat. Although the special upholstered seat of this medium-sized magic bus offset most of the impact, it still made his butt hurt, and he couldn't help frowning.

"This road is too poorly built..." Camby, who was sitting next to Xu Yi, could not help complaining even though he had a strong body like a dwarf.

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

"That's right, it's far worse than our road in Bangta City, and the Amley Chamber of Commerce cut corners too much when building this road."

"I don't know who is here to undertake this road? I think they should bear the main responsibility for the poor repair of the road. It may not have much to do with the Amley Chamber of Commerce."

"Why doesn't it matter much? This road was built by the Amly Chamber of Commerce. The person who undertakes this road can't let the Amly Chamber of Commerce build it like this?"

"That's not necessarily..."

...

Several other researchers in the magic machine tool R&D center of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who came with Camby in the carriage also rubbed their buttocks and complained.

Hearing their complaints, Xu Yi opened the car window and poked his head out.

His gaze swept across the road on which he was driving and the road ahead. Xu Yi frowned deeply.

If there is only one or two poor road conditions, that's all. After all, the road construction technology of the Amrit Chamber of Commerce is still not comparable to that on Earth. The quality of roads is definitely not as good as those on Earth.

However, as far as Xu Yi could see, this set of cement roads was full of potholes. Except for the cement coating on the surface, which showed that it was originally a road. The old dirt roads that can be seen everywhere are even worse.

Xu Yi's eyes naturally turned to the roadbed of the road, and after glancing twice, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

The thickness of the cement layer of this road is actually less than ten centimeters, no wonder it has become so dilapidated in such a short period of time.

This is also because the main transportation road in the Lampari Kingdom is still a horse-drawn carriage. Cargo capacity will not exceed one ton at most.

If it were the large trucks in the area that often carried dozens or even hundreds of tons of goods, they might crush the concrete pavement of this road into pieces in a matter of minutes.

After cursing in his heart, Xu Yi retracted his head and closed the window to prevent the cold outside from blowing in. Then he looked down at the map in his hand, looked for it, and pointed his finger on a point marked on the map .

"Should we be here now?" Xu Yi pointed at the map and asked.

Camby looked at it with his head: "Well, that's right, I should be arriving in Lamart City soon."

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

According to the information he collected in advance, the lord of Lamart City was from the Will family. The Will family is a staunch conservative faction in the Kingdom of Lampari. It has long ago clearly declared its support for Prince Eric, and has a very bad attitude towards the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

When the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wanted to implement the expansion policy and planned to build production bases in various cities of the Lampari Kingdom, it once offered to invest in Laimate City to build factories, but the owner of Laimate City was very angry. Strongly refused.

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

"Shock absorption system?" Camby was taken aback. "How do you do this thing?"

"Well... It's very troublesome to talk about. After I go back, I will conduct research with the Magic Research Institute. The initial consideration is to use wind magic to cushion the car body and reduce the impact and vibration caused by uneven road surfaces. As for how to do it , I have to go back and study again.”

"Cushion the whole body?" Camby frowned. "Then how to connect the body and the ground to provide a buffer space for the wind magic to flow?"

"Remember the suspension structure I mentioned to you earlier?" Xu Yi reminded. "Although the medium-sized magic bus we are riding now has already used this technology, after walking on this road, I feel that it is not enough. Since there is such a convenient good thing as wind magic, we Of course it should be used."

"Hmm... using wind magic as a cushion, the effect is of course much better than a hard spring. But how should the structure be..." Canby pondered for a moment, and discussed with several researchers from the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center .

These researchers are not all dwarves now, but also include a few human researchers who joined later who are very talented in mechanics. When they heard Xu Yi's shock absorption system, they excitedly put forward their own ideas.

For a while, the car was immersed in a heated discussion.

Listening to the lively discussion between Camby and the researchers, Xu Yi smiled, and instead of participating in it, he looked back at the map in his hand.

This map of the Kingdom of Lampari is somewhat similar to the map that hung in his study in Falling Star Manor, and part of it was also painted in red.

The places painted in red represent that in the corresponding cities, chambers of commerce related to the magic industry have infiltrated.

Within the scope of Bangta City, there are naturally a bunch of red dots, almost dyeing the entire Bangta City red, while outside Bangta City, Karma City, Saltan City, Norton City, Canberra City, and even Karamay City City, Anweimar City, and other cities hundreds of kilometers away from Bangta City have also been dyed red, which means that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce related to the magic industry have infiltrated these cities.

In addition to these cities currently under development, many other cities in the Lampari Kingdom have been painted with a small red circle by Xu Yi, which means that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce or other magic industry-related chambers of commerce are about to or plan to enter these cities. Cities invest in the construction of factories, and these cities are also included in the scope of being affected by the magic industry.

However, on this map, there is still a large area that remains the same, not dyed red at all.

Lamart City is one of them.

Looking at these seemingly unmoved areas, Xu Yi frowned deeply.

The reason why these places will not be affected by the magic industry that is currently booming in the entire Kingdom of Lampari is entirely because these places belong to the sphere of influence that supports Prince Eric.

The reason for their magic industry is actually to express their opposition to Princess Seweney by boycotting the magic industry, and to indirectly support Prince Eric.

This is simply a political reason, without any other factors.

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

Political factors are not something he can influence and control now, and for the time being, he can only wait and see passively.

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

What Xu Yi couldn't understand the most was that His Majesty the Kingdom didn't even express any opinion on such a big matter as Prince Eric's plan to rectify the Northern Army to counterattack the Sak Kingdom.

Although Major McConley explained that this was because he promised not to interfere in any of their decisions when he made His Royal Highnesses the two princes and Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny the three city lords respectively, but the counterattack against the Kingdom of Sark and the entire Lanzhou He still didn't say a word about important matters that were closely related to the Parry Kingdom, and it still seemed extremely strange.

Although Xu Yi knew almost nothing about military affairs, the former Zhenbei Army had always been in a barely defensive posture when facing the offensive of the Sak Kingdom. Support for new armaments.

But now Prince Eric refuses to continue to purchase all kinds of military magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so the combat effectiveness of the Zhenbei Army will not be much higher than before, so how can it be possible to successfully counterattack the Sak Kingdom?

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

"His Majesty the King will never plan to sit and watch Prince Eric go to die..."

Xu Yi was taken aback by the terrifying thought that popped up in his mind, and quickly shook his head vigorously.

This idea is too absurd, 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 cannot allow the Zhenbei Army to be buried with Prince Eric.

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

Just after Xu Yi gave a more reasonable explanation in his mind, the car suddenly shook slightly, but stopped.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yi raised his head and looked forward in astonishment, only to find that the entire convoy had stopped.

After a while, there was a sudden quarrel in front of them.

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

A moment later, a staff member of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the freight locomotive who was in charge of delivering goods ran over panting.

Seeing Xu Yi who was poking his head out of the car window to check the situation, he said angrily, "Master President, the road ahead is closed!" (To be continued...)
