This time chairman Pompeii was personally escorting the production magic machines for the cement factory and steel mill that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was about to build in Sowell City.
Other than this, considering that this place was too far from Banta City and adding in the cooperation with the Drake Duchy, Xu Yi was planning on building a production magic machine workshop here to make some production magic machines that weren't easy to transport.
The most important thing was to prepare for the establishment of the Munitions Factory.
Of course, Xu Yi definitely wouldn't make the core parts outside the Falling Rain Valley.
Although Sowell City had Satsuma Count as the City Lord, so it was a bit safe, this place was still too close to the Sack Kingdom. If the Sack Kingdom had any plans on Sowell City, it was hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be any problems.
Even if Satsuma Count had patted his chest in front of Princess Caroline, Xu Yi had to be cautious, so naturally he couldn't ignore this.
After getting into chairman Pompeii's medium sized Magic Car with Satsuma Count, when the car started, Xu Yi felt a chill coming from the car and he had to tighten his coat.
Seeing Xu Yi's actions, Satsuma Count also tightened his collar. He turned to look around the Magic Car before asking Xu Yi with a frown, "Xu Yi, chairman Pompeii was right. Since this medium sized Magic Car is for people to ride, we should consider how comfortable it is.
For example, adding a Magic Air Conditioner would make it much better.
Also, why do I feel that there are air leaks in the car? "
"It isn't hard to add a Magic Air Conditioner, but it isn't that easy to integrate it into the car." Xu Yi explained.
"Our company's research center is currently testing this and I believe that it won't take long before we finish upgrading the medium sized Magic Car.
As for the air leaks ….. there's no other way, the current welding technology isn't up to standard. "
"Speaking of this ….. Chairman Xu, since your company has named this Magic Car the medium sized Magic Car, does that mean there are also small and large sized Magic Cars?" Chairman Pompeii on the side asked.
"That's right." Xu Yi nodded.
"Compared to this medium sized Magic Passenger Car that can seat thirteen people, in our company's plans for passenger Magic Cars, there are smaller ones that can only seat a few people or even a single person. There are small Magic Cars that can be driven by a single person.
Other than this, there are larger Magic Passenger Cars that can seat several dozen people. "
"It can only hold one person?" President Pompeii was surprised.
"Then how much is your company planning on selling this small Magic Car for?"
"It hasn't been confirmed yet.
But the price of a Magic Car wasn't just determined by how many people it could carry, there were many other factors.
So the small passenger Magic Car you asked about might be priced at a few hundred gold coins, or it might be priced at tens of thousands of gold coins. "
"Tens of thousands of gold coins?" This time, even Samoyed Count couldn't remain calm.
"Xu Yi, are you kidding me?
It can only seat one person, and you want to sell it for tens of thousands of gold coins?
Who would be dumb enough to spend tens of thousands of gold coins to buy something that isn't practical at all?
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, "Lord City Lord, other than practicality, there are many people in this world who pursue comfort and enjoyment.
If you were given a Magic Car and you could drive it as comfortably as if it was your own home, while also having a speed of over a hundred kilometers per hour, or even two hundred kilometers per hour, would you be willing to spend tens of thousands of gold coins to buy it? "
"One to two hundred kilometers per hour?
How is that possible! "Samoyed Count and chairman Pompeii were both surprised.
Chairman Pompeii said in an excited voice, "Chairman Xu, if your company can really develop such a fast Magic Car, not to mention tens of thousands of gold coins, even if it costs hundreds of thousands of gold coins, there would be many people who would buy it!"
Samoyed Count knit his brows and shook his head.
He was a noble who advocated pragmatism, so he looked down on those who were extravagant and spent money in pursuit of enjoyment the most. He couldn't understand the strong attraction of the small Magic Car that Xu Yi mentioned to those who pursued luxury.
But that didn't stop him from agreeing with chairman Pompeii.
Right now the Sines Road was mainly used by horse carriages and they could only maintain a speed of around thirty kilometers per hour.
The Magic Car that New Flyer had developed was only forty kilometers per hour, but it was already very popular in the Lampari Kingdom and attracted everyone's interest.
If New Flyer suddenly took out a Magic Car that could go one to two hundred kilometers per hour, it would definitely cause a stir in the Sines.
On the continent, there were rich people all over.
For those people, not to mention spending tens of thousands of gold coins, even if they spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins, as long as they had a Magic Car that was incomparably fast, it wasn't a problem at all.
"I want to take out a Magic Car like this right now.
But it's a pity that right now ….. I can't do it for at least a few years. "Xu Yi shook his head in regret.
Right now the Magic Cars used by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were all using the Wind Magic Engine. Although this engine was very stable in terms of sustainability, it wasn't enough in terms of explosiveness.
According to Xu Yi's estimates, the maximum power that this Wind Magic Engine could produce was around eighty kilometers per hour for this medium sized Magic Car. It would be very hard to break a hundred kilometers per hour, not to mention reaching two hundred kilometers per hour.
To reach this high speed, Xu Yi felt that the only way was to use the Fire Magic Engine.
But the development of the Fire Magic Engine had just begun, so there were still many problems that needed to be solved. When the Fire Magic Engine was finished and put into use, producing the first Fire Magic Car, even according to Xu Yi's most optimistic estimates, it would take at least five years.
Normally speaking, it would take at least ten years.
Hearing Xu Yi's response, Count and chairman Pompeii weren't disappointed, rather they let out sighs of relief.
If the New Flyer could really make this heaven defying Magic Car in a short period of time, they would have to doubt if Xu Yi was even human.
The motorcade went around Sowell City and came to the New Flyer production base in the west of the city.
Before Xu Yi led the motorcade to this base, there were already factories that had been built.
Now they just needed to move the production magic machines and other equipment in and they could start working.
This was one of the things that Sines was more convenient compared to earth.
Because all the Magic Cars used Magic Crystals as their energy source, they didn't need to set up circuits like the factories on earth.
As for the problem of water, because this place was close to the river, it was much easier to solve.
During these days, Camby's dwarves and the New Flyer's staff had already finished arranging the first batch of goods.
Camby's group had even built a small magic machine development center and had been testing the new working environment of the magic machines over the past few days.
The results of the tests showed that because Sowell City was in the north, the winters were very cold. The magic machines would be affected by this kind of cold weather and the most common problem was that they didn't have enough power.
This wasn't hard for Xu Yi. Other than the magic machines that chairman Pompeii had brought, they had also brought various household magic machines, including ten Magic Air Conditioners.
After placing these Magic Air Conditioners around the workshop and putting in enough Magic Crystals, the ten Magic Air Conditioners began to blow out warm air. It didn't take long for the entire workshop to become warm.
Feeling the warm air from the Magic Air Conditioners, Xu Yi couldn't help asking chairman Pompeii who was curiously looking around, "Since you're feeling cold on the road, why don't you use these Magic Air Conditioners first?"
Chairman Pompeii looked at Xu Yi in surprise.
"Chairman Xu, are you doubting me?
Our Fersen Carriage Company is a professional logistics company, how could we take out the goods that our customers entrusted to us for our own use?
This would seriously affect the reputation of our company! "
Xu Yi laughed and gave a nod of praise. He turned to Count Samo and said, "Lord City Lord, look, the Fersen Carriage Company's reputation is quite good.
You really should seriously consider giving the logistics of Sowell City to them. "
Hearing Xu Yi's words, chairman Pompeii looked at Xu Yi with gratitude before looking at Samo Count with an expectant look.
Samo Count found this funny as he pointed at Xu Yi, "Speak, what benefits did the Fersen Carriage Company give you to make you recommend them this much?"
"Aren't I speaking the truth?" Xu Yi gave a shrug before continuing, "Lord City Lord, I am serious.
Our Banta City will have more and more connections with Sowell City in the future and after Sowell City develops, it will be connected to the other cities of the kingdom, even the Drake Duchy and other countries. We need a professional logistics company to take care of these tasks. "
"Then why don't I find a company in Sowell City?" Count Samo asked back.
Xu Yi looked at chairman Pompeii and chairman Pompeii patted his chest as he loudly said, "Sir Count, our Fersen Carriage Company is interested in setting up a branch in Sowell City, we ask for sir Count's support!"
Count Samo looked at chairman Pompeii before turning to Xu Yi.
"Xu Yi, you should understand.
Only it doesn't matter if I agree.
In the northeast province, there isn't just a single city like our Sowell City.
Could it be that you've forgotten what happened on your way here? "
Xu Yi's eyes had a cold glow, "I won't give those people another chance."
