Magic Industry Empire - 815. Chapter 815
A torrential rain had just fallen. Although the air in early summer still had a hint of heat, it was already much wetter than usual. It got in through the gaps in the open car windows and blew on people. The heat is gone, and it is extremely comfortable.
Freeman took a long breath, looked up at the far side of the road, and motioned the driver beside him to slow down a bit.
“We have some sophisticated gadgets in this car. Be careful not to turn them upside down. If one or two of the gadgets are broken, we have to go back to the Principality of Stantin and buy them again.”
Bobby, the exclusive freight driver of the Irish United Chamber of Commerce nearby, nodded, and reduced the speed of sitting on this large freight magic locomotive from close to the actual kilometer per hour to about 40 kilometers per hour, which instantly slowed down a lot.
However, Bobic looked more attentive than before, and even had a hint of nervousness as if he was facing an enemy.
Not just because Freeman reminded it that the cargo magic locomotive is equipped with high-end precision magic machine tools in the trunk, but also because the road ahead is really bad.
“I said, the president, this Maro Empire is one of the two major empires in the mainland. I always thought they were amazing. Why look at it now… Don’t say anything else, don’t talk about it with our Lampari kingdom. Than, even if compared to the Frankish kingdom, it is much worse.”
Freeman rolled his eyes: “Nonsense, the road we just walked on is only the first road in the Marlow Empire. Can it be compared with the Lampari Kingdom where there are roads everywhere?”
“That’s also…” Bobic laughed. “Unexpectedly, our Lampari Kingdom is so much smaller than the Maro Empire, but in terms of roads, it is much stronger than them.”
“Okay, look ahead, stop talking nonsense.” Freeman interrupted him.
Bobic hummed, and added a bit of strength to his hands holding the steering wheel.
“boom–”
The large cargo magic locomotive where the two sat down suddenly made a loud noise, and the entire body shook violently, throwing both of them off their seats at the same time.
Freeman’s expression changed, and he sternly said: “Slower speed!”
Bobic hurriedly controlled the large freight magic locomotive to slow down again until it maintained a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, which barely restored the freight magic locomotive to a fairly acceptable level of stability.
Listening to the banging sound not coming from behind, Bobic frowned and asked, “President, there will be nothing wrong with those things behind, right?”
Freeman frowned deeper, obviously more worried in his heart, but after thinking about it, he could only wave his hand helplessly: “No way, that’s it. Those magic locomotives are tied tightly, I think it shouldn’t be a big problem. . It’s really not possible. We can only request technical support from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce after going to the local area.”
“Speaking of…how did the New Flying Chamber of Commerce transport their magical machine tools?” Bobic asked again.
“Can it be compared with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce?” Freeman gave Bobic a sullen look. “I heard that when they transported the first batch of equipment to the Marlow Empire, they were directly transported by magic airships. The magic airships are things that fly in the sky. Of course, you don’t need to worry about bumps on the road.”
“Magic Airship…” Bobic glanced at the distant sky, his face full of envy. “Only the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can be so extravagant. President, when will our Irish United Chamber of Commerce also buy a few magic airships for fun?”
Freeman could only roll his eyes again.
“What a joke! A magic airship is priced at 1.3 million gold coins, and our chamber of commerce can only earn less than half a million gold coins a year of exhaustion. Want to buy a magic airship? It’s just a wishful thinking!”
Bobic sticked his tongue out: “I’ll just talk about it. But… President, I can’t afford a magic airship. I can still afford to buy a few new air suspension freight magic locomotives newly launched by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. ?”
Freeman glanced at Bobic in surprise, curious and funny on his face.
“Okay, it turns out your kid has been around for a long time, just wanting me to change the car for you.”
Bobic smiled: “When I went to the mine of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce a few days ago, I tried to drive the new air-suspension magic locomotive they bought. President, I have to say this thing is really strong. I drive It ran on the bumpy roads of the mine for a long time, and it didn’t feel bumpy at all. You see, if we have this car now, we don’t have to worry about being blocked by this road and ruining the magic machine tool equipment, right?”
“Well…” Freeman glanced at the muddy side in front of him, and at the same time revealed countless potholes in the dirt road, frowned for a moment and couldn’t help but nod slightly. “What you said is not completely unreasonable. I don’t know when this broken road will be repaired. We have to carry things over during this time. If something goes wrong along the way, that would be a big trouble… …”
“Right? So the president, this time I go back to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to buy two air-suspension magic locomotives. I dare to say that if I drive that car, I dare to run at least fifty times on this road. , And you don’t have to worry about things breaking.” Bobic continued, while the iron was hot.
Freeman shook his hand: “Okay, I’ll talk about it later, let’s ship this batch of goods first.”
Seeing his goal achieved, Bobic smiled and started to concentrate on the car again.
Although it is still bumpy, but in a different mood, I feel that these bumps are no longer as unbearable as before.
Freeman ignored the general Bobic with a smile on his face, lowered his head and took out a map and looked at it.
According to their plan, they should be able to rest in a small city about two hundred kilometers away tonight. They will probably arrive at the destination of this trip at noon tomorrow-the private domain of the Marquis of Southgate of the Marlow Empire. .
However, the road conditions in front of us are so bad that the speed of the freight magic locomotive has inevitably slowed down.
At this slow pace, it is absolutely impossible to reach that small city before dark.
In the Marlow Empire where there is no road, and the street lights are even more, it is obviously impossible to continue driving at night, so it is necessary to decide where to spend the night as soon as possible.
Judging from the map, there is a small town about a hundred kilometers away from here. If no accident, it should be possible to arrive before dark, so Ferryman temporarily set this small town as a target.
However, accidents always happen when people do not expect…
Two hours later, when Feriman and Bobic came to a more muddy section of the large freight magic locomotive, they suddenly found about seven or eight freight magic locomotives crowded on the road ahead, and many people stood beside them. , There was a group of people chatting together.
“what happened?”
Freeman and Bobic looked at each other in wonder, and drove closer.
When the distance was close, Freeman discovered that a fairly wide river traversed the road ahead, and these magic locomotives and people were all blocked by the river, seemingly unable to pass.
Freeman motioned for Bobic to stop and jumped off.
After taking a closer look, Freeman found that the owners of these magic locomotives were as expected. They were all the same as him. This time he responded to the call of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and came to the various chambers of commerce invested by the Marlow Empire.
The reason why they were stopped here was because the bridge that was supposed to be built on the small river was directly washed away by the torrential water after the rainstorm, causing them to lose their only channel through the river.
“How long have you been waiting here?” Freeman asked.
“I came here the first time. I have waited for more than an hour.” A freight driver with a bitter face shook his head and sighed: “I originally said that the rain has stopped. After a while, maybe the water flow will decrease. I just rushed over. I didn’t expect to see any signs of getting smaller after so long.”
Freeman looked at the others and found that they all shook their heads and sighed together.
“Then you haven’t thought of detouring?” Freeman asked again.
“What’s the detour? The Marlow Empire is the first time we are here. We are not familiar with the place. And the map shows that the nearest bridge is close to 100 kilometers away, and there is no road connecting it. We have found the way, at least we have to go around more than 300 kilometers, or maybe we won’t be able to get there the day after tomorrow.”
“Yeah, I really don’t know that the poor roads in the Marlow Empire are such a virtue. How can our Lampari Kingdom go well.”
“Yes. There are flat roads everywhere in our Lampari Kingdom, and the bridges are also the strongest. How could they be washed away by water casually.”
“Why do I feel that the Maro Empire is much behind our Lampari Kingdom? You see, the road is so bad, there are no street lights along the way, and I didn’t even see a magic locomotive, only occasionally. A few tattered carriages…”
…
Hearing the complaints from everyone around him, Ferryman frowned slightly and didn’t get involved.
I walked to the river and observed the small stone bridge that was washed down by the river, and found that the situation was not particularly serious. The bridge was only partly destroyed in the middle. As long as this part is filled in, it is not impossible to pass.
Looking back at the eight large freight magic locomotives blocked by the river, Freeman made an estimate in his heart and walked to one of the drivers.
“Hey, if I read it right, you should have a magic excavator in your car, right?”
The driver was startled: “Yes, why?”
Freeman smiled, clapped his hands vigorously to attract everyone’s attention, and raised his voice: “It must be impossible to wait for the people from the Marlow Empire to repair the bridge. But we can’t wait here either, Xu The chairman is still waiting for us to deliver the stuff and start work on time.”
A group of people looked at each other.
“But now there is no way, there is no way to go there.”
“Have you forgotten what President Xu once said? He said that all roads in this world depend on people. Now that the road in front of us is broken, then we will fix it!”
“Repair? How to fix it?” Everyone was even more puzzled.
Freeman pointed to the trunks of several large freight magic locomotives, and smiled: “Of course it depends on these guys.”
