Magic Industry Empire
Vol 2 Chapter 150: Magic trebuchet
Just as everyone was eagerly awaiting Xu’s published books and the college he founded, Xu also quietly came to Anweimar City again.
This time, he did not go to see anyone, and found Major Macquarie directly at the Military Logistics Agency.
"Hey, Xu Huichang, I heard that you went to the Principality of Stading?" Major Macquarie saw Xu Yi and immediately asked with a smile. "How do you feel about this Principality of Constantine? Do you think that this Principality has not been saved?"
Upon hearing this question, Xu also suddenly understood that it was not only his own understanding of the laziness of the people of the Principality of Constantine and the greed of the upper class. It seems that this is simply a consensus of a bunch of people.
"It’s not impossible to save it at all, but..." Xu shrugged and smiled bitterly: "It’s really hard to do something over there."
Maiconli laughed and patted Xu Yi’s shoulder: “I want to do something real or do it in our Kingdom of Lampari. Especially if you are so capable, you should not go to Stan. Ding Gongguo wastes time in this place."
Xu also glanced at him and thought that if the Kingdom of Lampari was a vast empire with a vast territory and abundant resources like the Marlow Empire and the Candela Empire, he would also like to develop well in the Kingdom of Lampari.
However, the Kingdom of Lampari is, after all, a small country on the mainland of Sainz. Domestic resources are not particularly rich, and most of them have long been divided by the great aristocrats in the kingdom. Xu Yihe and Xinfei The newly-opened Chamber of Commerce of the Chamber of Commerce did not have the possibility to step in.
It is like the cooperation between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Joseph family. If he is in accordance with Xu’s true wishes, he certainly hopes to be able to take the non-ferrous metal mining resources in the Kingdom of Lampari in the hands of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. But he is very clear that the Joseph family will never be so generous. Therefore, only ways of providing technical cooperation can be adopted. The priority supply of these resources is obtained from the Joseph family.
As a person who has passed through the earth, Xu is also very aware of the importance of controlling these resources.
There is no hope in the Kingdom of Lampari for the time being, and Xu’s eyes must of course be placed elsewhere.
The reason why I would rather choose to mine the non-ferrous metal veins under the eyes of the orcs in the black rice wilderness, or even run out of the Lampari Kingdom and go to the Principality of Constantine to buy three mines, even if this time I found the Principality of Constantine. There is no such thing as a big deal, including Steining, and Xu has not given up. The reason is that these resources in these two places are well grasped. It is very likely that you will be completely in your hands.
Being able to control the most important energy issues in your own hands is worthwhile even if you pay some price.
Of course, if you want to do this, you must first solve a very important problem.
Xu also gave a look to Major McKelly. Major McKelly immediately took a look and looked around and took Xu to his own secret room on the inside of the office.
"Is it so fast?" Just after closing the door, Major McKelly immediately looked at Xu Yi with excitement.
Xu also smiled and took a stack of drawings from the carrying bag and handed it to Major McKelly.
Major McKelly took over quickly and could not attend to the greeting. I started to flip through it.
After seeing two eyes, Major McKelly’s eyes are getting brighter and brighter. Wait until the end, full of joy and excitement.
After reading the last page, Major McKelly slammed his fist on his lap and laughed.
"Great! Great! If you can use this magic trebuchet, then our army's combat power will increase too much!"
Xu Yi smiled: "Of course. Although there is no specific test, but this magic trebuchet is made of new steel, the power is also strong enough, in theory, the maximum throwing weight can even reach one ton! And does not need to be like traditional wood The trebuchet will be re-adjusted for a long time every time it is launched. According to our current preliminary settings, the re-adjustment time after each launch will not exceed half a minute."
"That is, as long as the stone is fast enough, you can even launch two large stones in one minute?" Major McKelly asked with wide eyes.
"Yes." Xu also nodded slightly. "In addition, this is just the first version of the magic trebuchet. If it wasn't for you so urgent, I would have liked to wait until the new version of the continuation of the magic trebuchet was developed."
"Lianfa magic trebuchet?" Major McKelly had a brighter look. “Can it be launched continuously?”
"Almost. It is specifically that the magic trebuchet can complete the entire process of filling stones, launching, adjusting, and then filling the stones, and the soldiers responsible for the magic trebuchet only need to put the stones prepared in advance into the ammunition. It’s ok in the box.”
"Ammunition box?" Major McKelly frowned and thought about it. “Is it a box dedicated to stone?”
"Well. The reason why I will call this ammunition box is because in my opinion, the stone of the trebuchet is its ammunition." When it came to this, Xu also paused, and his face passed a long, deep smile. . "In fact, if you really want to say something, this kind of stone is not really an ammunition..."
Major McKelly had a sigh of relief and wanted to ask, but Xu also obviously did not talk about this topic. After thinking about it, he continued to ask questions about this magic trebuchet.
After a general understanding of the basic issues, Major McKelly nodded: "Well, this magic trebuchet is very good. Although it still needs to be discussed by the generals of the military, I can definitely decide, but I think it will definitely pass. I can ask, how long does it take for a Chamber of Commerce for a magic trebuchet to produce?"
"There has not been officially put into production yet, so I can't give you an accurate time. However, according to the estimation of the institute, if it is officially put into production, it may take at least one week to complete one."
"It only takes a week? So fast!" Major McKelly was shocked. "I thought it was so complicated that it would take at least a few months to make it."
Xu also smiled a little, thinking that you are too small to see the miracle that industry can create.
This is because the industrial base on the mainland of Sainz is currently too weak. Even the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce is far from the industrial production capacity of the large factories on the planet. This will cause a magic trebuchet to take a week to complete.
This magic trebuchet looks very complicated in Major McKelly. Let him be shocked, but if you look at the mechanical engineer Xu, the structure is very simple, not worth mentioning.
If you put it on a planet in the country where the industrial system is perfect and the industrial base is deep, I am afraid that it will be handed over to a factory that produces heavy machinery.
If you count the mass production and assembly line operations, on average, you may not be able to use it for one day.
Major McKelly smashed Xu Yi. The expression was hesitant, and hesitated for a while before asking: "This... Xu Hui, this magic trebuchet, do you think our military can produce it ourselves?"
Xu also laughed immediately.
Sure enough, as he expected, as long as he handed over the drawings, the military must still hope to capture this magic trebuchet.
But this time it was different from the last time, Xu thought and shook his head without thinking about it.
"I'm afraid not." Xu Yizheng said. "Macropolis Major, I think you should be very clear. This magic trebuchet is very complicated. Even if our new franchise wants to produce it, it will take a lot of work. I don't think the military has such production capacity now."
"Isn't it possible to hand over the drawings and related technology to us?" Major McKelly continued to ask.
However, Xu also resolutely shook his head.
"No. Major, this is different from the production of armor weapons. The main factor in the production of armor weapons is the magic machine tools provided by our Chamber of Commerce. Workers only need to know how to operate, in general there is not much technical difficulty. But production The complexity of this magic trebuchet far exceeds the production of armor weapons. Even if I provide all the relevant technologies, the military can't control it." Here, Xu also showed a slightly mocking smile, continued. "Moreover, let us provide all the relevant technologies, although it is not impossible, but what the military intends to use to make the corresponding compensation."
Major McKelly immediately silenced.
Of course, he understands that the military can rely on the official power of the kingdom to ask Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to do something according to their own requirements, and even force the new Feishang to hand over these technologies.
But if you want to get it for free, it is obviously impossible.
This magical trebuchet will know the power when looking at the drawings. If it can be equipped into the army of the Lampari Kingdom, it will definitely increase the combat effectiveness of the army. Therefore, the military is inevitable.
However, if the attitude of the military is too strong, causing dissatisfaction and even rebound of Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it will cause concern about the dissatisfaction of some big people of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Just lose the opportunity to continue cooperation with the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce. Is an extremely significant loss.
To put it bluntly, the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce is now unique. Apart from them, there is no Chamber of Commerce that can do its own magical military machinery required for the development of the military.
Even the concept of "magic military machinery" is simply the first to be proposed by Xu.
Therefore, although Major Macquarie was the head of the Military Logistics Department, he was very polite to Xu.
It is not only because Xu is also valued by His Royal Highness Servini and His Majesty the King, but also because Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can bring what they need urgently to the military.
After quickly rethinking these factors in his mind, Major McKelly immediately gave up the idea of asking Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to hand over the technology to the military. After thinking about it, he nodded: "Well, President Xu, may I ask... What is the price of a Chamber of Commerce for a magic trebuchet?"
Xu Yi smiled and extended a finger: "One thousand gold coins."
Major McKelly immediately became as earthy. (To be continued.)
