Magic Industry Empire - 585. Chapter 585

This method can be summed up in one sentence.

The cliff is too high? That’s simple, just fill it up!

The fifty-meter-high cliff, for most ordinary people on Sainz Continent, is completely an inability to leap from the sky. Therefore, whether it is from the Ruelson Kingdom or the Amli Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yiran was unexpectedly heard at first. When he wanted to build a road from here to the Ruelson Kingdom, he thought he was crazy at all.

But for Xu Yi, on a technologically advanced earth, a 50-meter-high cliff is not a difficult problem at all.

On Earth, there are many ways to solve this problem, but they are limited to the current level of science and technology on the Sainz Continent. Xu Yi finally chose the simplest and rude method, which is to fill the cliff.

Specifically, it uses a large amount of stone and earthwork to increase the lower side of the Stantin Principality, and forcibly fills in a roadbed that is enough to connect to the Ruelson Kingdom on the other side of the cliff.

It is of course impossible to say that it is completely leveled. What Xu Yi asked is to fill in an uphill roadbed that can be used to pave the road.

Taking into account the height of the cliff and the slope of the road, according to calculations, the length of this roadbed will be as long as five kilometers. With a roadbed of at least 50 meters wide, the required stone and earthwork will be an astronomical number.

If it is based on the previous level of science and technology on the Sainz continent, whether it is to excavate or transport stones and earth, it can only be done with manpower. To complete such a huge project, at least tens of thousands of migrant workers will be used, and it will take several years. It may not even be completed in more than ten years.

There is no other possibility at all for this kind of engineering, except for the embodiment of the will of the country.

But now with the help of the engineering magic machinery developed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, this project is much simpler.

After careful exploration and data calculation by the Amli Chamber of Commerce, it is finally estimated that as long as the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can provide enough large and medium-sized magic excavators and large-scale magic trucks, the manpower required for this huge project will not exceed three thousand, and it will take time. No more than two years.

If all goes well, the entire Slue Highway will most likely be completed in five years.

However, although the manpower and engineering time required have been drastically reduced, the investment will not be reduced too much.

According to estimates, the Sillu Highway will definitely be the most expensive road ever built by the Amli Chamber of Commerce.

The total length of the road from Xu Yi’s private domain to the border between the two countries is more than 140 kilometers, and the investment is expected to be 300,000 gold coins.

The length of the Ruerson Kingdom from the border to the city of Kuraka is more than 560 kilometers, and it is expected to invest 1.1 million gold coins.

Both sections of roads are laid in accordance with ordinary road construction standards, and the estimated cost is also in accordance with this standard.

However, the total length of the section from filling the roadbed to the top of the cliff, entering the Kingdom of Ruelson is only about five kilometers, and the estimated cost may exceed an astonishing 800,000 gold coins.

Adding it up, the entire plant on the Silu Highway is 700 kilometers, and the total investment is more than two million gold coins, and it may even reach 2.5 million gold coins.

Although the Ruelson Kingdom section of the road will be invested by the Ruelson Kingdom, President Cruise still feels that the cost of this road is too high, and some are not cost-effective.

In his opinion, instead of spending such a high price to build such a road, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce might as well simply make a circle. At most, it would only take a day and a small amount of freight, which is far more economical than building this road.

But Xu Yi didn’t feel much about the price.

On the earth, the construction of a highway is carried out at a cost of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan per kilometer. The average cost of highway construction here is less than 10,000 gold coins per kilometer, which is undoubtedly much cheaper. NS.

Although the artificial materials of Sainz mainland are extremely cheap, and the quality of the roads built is far from comparable to the highways on the earth, the price still makes Xu Yi feel completely acceptable.

The reason for insisting on investing a lot of money and overcoming such difficulties is also to build this road, in fact, it is precisely because Xu also does not want to use the method that President Cruise said.

It is possible to take a detour to transport the goods to the Kingdom of Ruelson, but if you want to take a detour, you must pass through the Kingdom of Lampari.

Let alone enter and exit the Kingdom of Lampari, you must pay certain tariffs. If the Kingdom of Lampari someday even prohibits the passing of the products of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, then it will be time for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to seek a solution. late.

In the final analysis, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is currently actively researching and developing large-scale magic ships suitable for deep-sea ocean navigation, and the construction of this Slue Highway is to be able to transport the goods produced by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to other places on this continent more conveniently and quickly. go.

Although the Principality of Stantin has a pleasant climate, is very suitable for living, and can not be disturbed too much, the topography here is really limited. If you don’t find a way to solve this problem in advance, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will only have a dead end.

Of course, these issues are not within the scope of Elder Lisanya’s consideration. She came to meet Xu Yi this time mainly because the roadbed filling project of the Silu Highway happened to pass through the Moonshadow Forest where the Moonshadow tribe is located.

To fill the ground and improve the roadbed, of course, it will greatly affect the topography of the Moonshadow Forest, so Xu also must obtain the support of the Moonshadow tribe in advance.

Before Xu Yi proposed this project to Elder Lisanya, and when he requested cooperation, he obtained the preliminary consent of Elder Lisanya.

This time Elder Lisanya came, and did not show any strange expressions, Xu Yi naturally thought that she had decided to cooperate.

Sure enough, after hearing Xu Yi’s question, Elder Lisanya nodded and said, “Well, cooperation is okay. After all, it will be good for our tribe if we can go directly to the Ruelson Kingdom.”

Xu Yi smiled slightly and waited for the following.

Elder Lisanya paused and said, “But… President Xu, I have to make a few requests.”

“Speaking.”

“First of all, the construction of this road will cause a lot of damage to the Lunar Shadow Forest, so it will have a certain impact on the lives of our people. Chairman Xu, you should give us a certain amount of compensation.”

Xu Yi couldn’t help but smile.

Who said that the elves are so proud that they disdain to caress like humans? Right now, Elder Lisanya is just bargaining with him.

“Of course it is. I just don’t know how many gold coins do you think Elder Lisanya is satisfied with?” Xu Yi asked with a smile.

“No, pure gold coins don’t make much sense to us, and we are not in short supply now.” Elder Lisanya shook his head. “Oh? What compensation do you need?” Xu Yi was slightly surprised.

“We need some practical help. For example, because there is not enough water in the Moon Shadow Forest, it is always difficult for our people to use water. Chairman Xu, listen to Alxia said, you and the first of their Nightsong tribe One contact helped them solve the water source problem, so can you help our tribe also solve this problem?”

Xu Yi pondered for a moment and nodded: “Although this requires field inspections to know the exact answer, it shouldn’t be a problem. For example, with the ability of the siege machinery currently developed by our chamber of commerce, it can completely mine the groundwater of the Moonshade Forest for you. For use. I can even build a comprehensive automatic water supply system for your tribe to ensure that each of your tribes can use clean water without leaving their homes.”

“Really?” Elder Lisanya showed surprise on his face. “There is such a convenient system? That’s great! Chairman Xu, I will order such a system from you now. It is okay to ask me to pay for it separately.”

Seeing the excitement of Elder Lisanya’s application, Xu was also a little puzzled.

Does every elven tribe face water problems?

Whether it was the Nightsong tribe or the Moonshade tribe, the first problem he asked him to help solve was actually this problem.

Regarding this fully automatic water supply system, Xu Yi has actually started a small-scale fact on his own private domain.

For example, a magic water pump is placed in the ground of his manor, which is continuously pumping groundwater to a newly built water tower in the manor, and then flows into various pipes through the water tower for all the rooms in need.

This automatic water supply system has been developed in less than two months, and it is still in the experimental stage. After the test is determined to be feasible, it will be promoted to the entire territory.

Xu Yi’s goal is to make clean tap water available to every household in the territory in the first half of next year.

“Apart from the water source? Are there any requirements?”

“Except for the water source, it doesn’t really matter too much.”

Elder Lisangya smiled and put forward a few more requests. As expected, none of them were too important. It was just the hope that the New Flying Merchants Association could provide more convenience to the Moon Shadow tribe.

For example, Elder Lisangya hopes that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will develop a new type of fertilizer processing machinery for the fertilizer processing plant of the Moon Shadow tribe, so as to improve the efficiency and output of the fertilizer processing plant.

Another example is that the Moonshadow tribe hopes to build a small elven town outside the Moonshadow Forest, imitating a human town, and hopes that Xu Yi can negotiate with Lord Stantin and Lord Weilun to obtain their approval.

For example, Elder Lisanya hopes that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will build a special magic car for her according to her requirements…

…

After listening to Elder Lisangya’s various requests, Xu Yi’s gaze at her changed drastically.

Compared to ordinary elves, this Lisanya elder is more like a shrewd human businessman, and he has never given up any of his own interests because of the so-called pride and reservation of the elves.

In the process of cooperating with the Moon Shadow tribe, Xu Yi didn’t know this deeply, but this time he had a profound experience.

Because Xu Yi was basically satisfied with all her requirements, Elder Lisanya seemed extremely satisfied. After finalizing these compensations, she smiled and nodded.

“Very well, President Xu is indeed our Elf Clan’s best friend. As a noble Elf, I must respond adequately to your generosity. President Xu, in fact, I can provide for this embankment enhancement project. A brand new solution can save you at least half a million gold coins and a lot of time. Are you interested in it?”

Xu Yi was startled.

No way? What plan can save a full 500,000 gold coins at once? Can you save a lot of time?

This is simply a fantasy!

However, thinking of the usual mystery of the elves, Xu Yi’s expression immediately became cautious, sitting upright, staring at Elder Lisanya.

“Appreciate further details.”
