Chairman Cruz looked at Xu Yi with a doubtful gaze, but Xu Yi acted like he didn't see the strange Magic Car at all. He waved his hand and calmly said, "Let's go."
Seeing that Xu Yi didn't explain at all, chairman Cruz quickly thought of something. The surprised look on his face turned into a smile and like he didn't see anything, he walked out of the New Flyer industrial district with Xu Yi with a smile.
Watching chairman Cruz get into the Magic Sedan and disappear into the distance, the smile on Xu Yi's face disappeared. He turned to look in the direction of the Magic Car factory and knit his brows.
After a while, Xu Yi walked to the New Flyer's Magic Car test base that was to the northwest of the Magic Car factory.
When he walked in, he saw several Magic Cars that were the same as the one chairman Cruz had seen driving around the base.
Seeing these clumsy looking Magic Cars, Xu Yi couldn't help giving a bitter laugh as he shook his head.
If possible, he really wanted to call these strange looking Magic Cars Magic Tanks.
But other than the steel plates that were thicker than normal Magic Cars and the tires being specially made, there was only one more Magic Cannon installed than normal Magic Cars. It wasn't bad to call it a Magic Cannon Car, but to call it a Magic Tank, that was just a fool's dream.
Xu Yi walked over to the researchers of the magic machine development center who were observing the operation of the Magic Cannon Cars while recording the data. He asked the chief of the Magic Cannon Car research team, the human engineer Toldo, in a deep voice, "Why did I see a Magic Cannon Car outside just now?"
Toldo and the other researchers had already noticed Xu Yi's arrival. They had been excitedly preparing to report to Xu Yi, but when they heard this question, they couldn't help being surprised.
After a while, Toldo finally reacted and carefully replied, "Sir chairman, according to the data, we think that the Magic Cannon Cars are ready to be used. So we've sent a Magic Cannon Car out of the base to test it on the complicated roads.
Do you think there's a problem with this? "
"Oh?
This fast? "Xu Yi was a bit surprised.
"Hasn't this project been established for less than two months and they're already testing the Magic Cannon Cars?"
Seeing that Xu Yi wasn't unhappy, Toldo and the other researchers looked at each other. After letting out a sigh of relief, they revealed smiles at the same time.
"That's right, sir chairman.
Actually to say something arrogant, we don't think that developing the Magic Cannon Cars is that difficult.
Because before this, we already have a very successful foundation in developing the Magic Cannon, so we just need to consider how to perfectly fuse the Magic Cannon Cars and the Magic Cannon Cars together.
This work is just a bit, to be honest, it isn't that hard. "
"Is that so?" Xu Yi couldn't help smiling.
Xu Yi couldn't help laughing, "This means that you think this project is too simple?
Alright, when the Magic Cannon Cars are developed, I'll give you even harder projects, so you don't need to worry. "
The faces of Toldo and the other researchers immediately turned ashen, their expressions ugly.
But under their ugly looks, one could see that there was excitement and expectation in their eyes.
Xu Yi was very satisfied with their reactions. He turned to look at the Magic Cannon Cars on the field with a smile before asking Toldo, "Since you feel that this research isn't that hard, then tell me, is there any hope of mass production this year?"
Toldo was silent for a bit before shaking his head, "I'm afraid we can't do that.
Sir chairman, your request for the Magic Cannon Cars is to be able to operate normally under any bad conditions and the most important thing is to be able to display enough power.
Although we are confident in achieving these two requests, this is based on large amounts of experiments.
There are only two months left this year, so I don't think it's enough. "
Xu Yi nodded and praised, "Very good, being careful is a good thing.
My request for any research work is to be as perfect as possible, so I won't rush you.
But I hope that you can finish your research as soon as possible and put the Magic Cannon Cars into mass production as soon as possible. "
"Alright!" Toldo gave a strong nod and agreed.
Xu Yi looked around and after thinking for a bit, he continued, "I plan to build a large experimental base in the mountains to the north, which will be used for military magic machine research. When the time comes, your research team will also move there."
"Really?" Toldo and the other researchers revealed looks of joy.
This Magic Car experimental base was in the New Flyer industrial district. Although it was very big, there were many restrictions, so it wasn't convenient for them to do many experiments.
If they could build another experimental base far away from the crowd, their research speed would greatly increase.
"Don't be happy too early.
It'll take at least half a year to build the experimental base. When the time comes, your research on the Magic Cannon Cars will be finished. "
Xu Yi's words made the joy on their faces fade quite a bit, but his next words made them excited again.
"Of course, the Magic Cannon Cars are only the first step of your research. You will continue this research in the future because my goal is to develop a Magic Tank that can be invincible on the battlefield!"
After leaving the Magic Car experimental base, Xu Yi thought about it before getting in his Magic Sedan and heading to the shipyard by the sea.
Before approaching the shipyard, he found that the beach and the open space outside the shipyard were filled with people wearing all kinds of clothes. It was clear that they weren't New Flyer employees.
Xu Yi's Magic Sedan came from afar and was immediately noticed by those with sharp eyes.
It was unknown who shouted, but the crowd came and surrounded Xu Yi's Magic Sedan.
"Is this considered reaping what I sowed?" Xu Yi gave a bitter laugh and helplessly opened the door to get out.
"Chairman Xu, is Lumi here right now?"
"That's right, is Lumi in the shipyard right now?"
"Chairman Xu, if Lumi is here right now, can you ask her to come out and meet us?"
"That's right, ask Lumi to come out and let us see her.
We don't have any other intentions, we just want to see her! "
"That's right, we just want to see Lumi!"
"We want to see Lumi!
Chairman Xu, please agree to us! "
"We … …"
… …
Xu Yi raised his hands and the surrounding crowd fell silent as they all looked at Xu Yi.
Looking around and seeing countless expectant gazes, Xu Yi said with a faint smile, "Everyone likes Lumi this much, I think that Lumi will be very happy.
Alright, since everyone has such a strong request, I'll talk to Lumi and see if she's willing to come out and meet you. What do you think? "
Hearing that Xu Yi actually agreed to everyone's request, the crowd broke out in a deafening cheer.
The people in front of Xu Yi's Magic Car all moved back, opening a path for Xu Yi to enter the shipyard.
Xu Yi waved his hand at everyone with a smile before getting into the Magic Sedan and driving into the shipyard.
When he got out of the car, Lumi appeared in front of Xu Yi with a pout on her face.
"Chairman, why did you agree to them again?
How many times have I said it, I came here to study the Magic Boats that can sail the seas, I'm not here to be looked at like a monkey by all these people. "
Seeing the dissatisfied Lumi, Xu Yi laughed. When Agnes created a stir in Banta City, she also felt like she was being looked at like a monkey by all these people.
These foreign races had a similar impression of the human's attitude of watching a show.
Xu Yi took out a letter from his chest and gave it to her.
"Come, after reading this letter, I'm certain that you won't be so against the people outside."
Lumi doubtfully took the letter and after reading it, the dissatisfaction on her face turned into pleasant surprise.
After a while, she looked up with a look of disbelief as she loudly asked Xu Yi, "Chairman, is this true?
You really found news about my clansmen?
This ….. Could this be a lie? "
Xu Yi gave a shrug, "This information was obtained by Hannas through the « Lampuri Weekly ».
Before I personally see your clansmen, I can't be certain if it's true or not. "
Lumi gave an oh sound before looking back at the letter in her hand and muttering, "Whether it's true or not, it's already very good to receive news about my clansmen.
After all these years, this is the first time I've received this kind of news … … "
Actually, Xu Yi was also very surprised.
When he proposed to Lumi to spread the news of her existence, he didn't have that much hope.
But he never would have thought that in less than two months after this news was spread, Hannas would receive news about the appearance of the halfling race and personally write a letter for chairman Cruz to bring over.
This news about the appearance of the halfling race happened in the Drake Duchy's northeast neighbour, the Falk Kingdom. « Lampuri Weekly » had set up a branch in the Falk Kingdom, so they received this news.
"Chairman, I want to go to the Falk Kingdom!" Lumi suddenly said in a firm voice.
"I want to go there to find my clansmen!"
Xu Yi was surprised before slightly knitting his brows and slowly shaking his head.
"No, Lumi, I understand your feelings, but your decision isn't good.
We can't be certain if this news is true or not, so we can't be certain if your clansmen exist.
It's even possible that this news was deliberately released by someone, and it's a trap for you. "
Lumi was stunned, "A trap for me?
Why? "
Xu Yi pointed at the gate of the shipyard, "Don't you know how rare the halfling race is on the continent?
Just based on the fact that you are a halfling, it's enough for someone to set a trap for you. "
Lumi was silent. After a while, she looked up at Xu Yi with a firm expression, "No, even if it is a trap, I have to take a look!
I can't let go of any chance of meeting my clansmen! "
Xu Yi had to place his hands on Lumi's shoulders and look into her eyes as he said with a serious look, "Lumi, calm down.
You don't need to personally go to confirm if this news is true or not, there are many other methods.
I've already considered it, you can take out a token representing your halfling race and I'll find someone to bring it to the Falk Kingdom, trying to contact the halfling race that might exist.
If this is true, I think that the halfling will come into contact with you. If it's false, you won't be in any danger.
Do you understand what I mean? "
Lumi thought for a while, then nodded reluctantly.
"Alright.
But chairman, if there is any news about my clansmen, you have to inform me immediately. "
"No problem." Xu Yi patted her shoulder with a smile and pointed outside the gate.
"Before that, you should go out and deal with your fans."
Lumi's little face suddenly wrinkled. After hesitating for a while, she walked out with a bitter expression.
Moments later, thunderous cheers resounded from outside the shipyard, shaking the entire shipyard.
Xu Yi couldn't help shaking his head with a bitter smile.
If this happened more often, perhaps the New Flyer would become an entertainment company.
