Chapter 161
Although Aarons was not mentally prepared at all, he still saw with his own eyes the absurdity of this world.
He first saw the excited craftsmen carrying out a double-track magic cannon from the factory, and projecting a cannonball that seemed to be made of new fuel from the square directly to a position hundreds of meters outside the base.
...This is just an improved version of the magic array cannon, nothing big - Aarons reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his head.
Then he saw the craftsmen carrying out something like an armor plate from the factory, installing a fully protected turret on the magic cannon, and then firing at the same position.
...It is normal to install protection on long-range weapons, and it is not surprising - Aarons took out toilet paper and wiped his face again.
When the door of the factory suddenly opened, a tracked armored vehicle without a superstructure roared out, and then the craftsmen burst into fighting spirit and roared to lift up the installed turret, and installed it on the chassis in no time...
Aarons' mouth couldn't close at all.
"Is it ready? After the turret is installed, everyone get out of the way. I want to test the car here!"
——When the driver showed his head from the driver's observation port, Aarons slapped himself directly.
Princess, what are you doing... No, she used to like racing!
"The transmission of the mechanical parts is too stiff! If there is no fighting spirit or magic, one person can't control it at all! But the propulsion of this engine... is really great!"
Looking at the tracked monster that he had only seen a few times in his previous life, rampaging in the square, Aarons felt that he was sleeping stupidly and having a messy dream.
Either this world is crazy or I am crazy!
"Huh, it feels so good... Please go back and tell Teacher Jiangyue that there is no problem with the technical principle of this thing. Let her go back and improve the detailed design."
After watching Keliya lightly get out of the cockpit and jump to the ground, and then command the over-excited craftsmen to drive the otherworldly vehicle back to the factory, Aarons realized that this was not a dream.
It's over, the world is going to be in chaos...
"Ah... Husband? Did you see it? How does it compare to the thing you remembered?"
"... Can I drive it later?"
"Ahahaha! Of course it's fine! But although it feels good to drive, it's not suitable for combat."
What was even more shocking than what he had just seen was Claire's rigorous and merciless evaluation -
"Although the alchemical materials improved with magic power can meet the performance requirements, it also means that it is more easily destroyed by fighting spirit and magic. So as a land combat weapon that needs to be fought head-on, the prototype just now is completely unqualified."
"Ah... It turns out that there are still defects. I'm scared to death..."
Although magic alchemy can easily produce various materials, the materials themselves have obvious weaknesses - when directly bombarded by strong fighting spirit and magic, the durability of alchemical materials may not be as good as ordinary metals.
Therefore, most of the mechanical equipment in this world still needs to use specific Warcraft materials to manufacture, and the same is true for advanced weapons and equipment.
"Teacher Jiangyue is just verifying the technical principles now. Before the design that is truly suitable for mass production comes out, there are actually many problems to be solved."
"I thought the world was about to change drastically..."
"It will definitely change drastically...especially the current order and rules."
Aarons certainly did not forget what his goal was, and he knew that the current technological breakthroughs would definitely help achieve his goals.
Although there is no way to achieve it overnight, he is indeed moving forward step by step.
"Oh, by the way, what I just said are all issues that need to be considered in the military. If it is only used in general occasions, then the new engine can be mass-produced now."
"Could it be that it is to be used in..."
"From now on, our logistics efficiency will be dozens of times higher than those idiots-you understand what I am saying, husband."
...
After learning that the mass production plan for heavy trucks has been put on the agenda, Aarons immediately began to make new plans.
This world originally did not have an efficient means of transporting goods - a pack animal truck could only carry one ton of goods at most, and could only run about 300 kilometers a day at its fastest.
Often, transport teams had to set out more than ten days or even a month in advance to deliver the goods to the designated location within the scheduled time.
Although this inefficient logistics method can achieve seamless connection after the circulation, once some emergency situations occur, the time delay will become a huge problem.
——But Aarons no longer needs to consider these things.
"According to estimates, the speed of the new trucks can reach about 80 kilometers per hour, and the cargo capacity of each truck is at least more than 10 tons. Master, do you have any ideas?"
"Reduce the load of the first batch of trucks by half, and then increase the maximum speed as much as possible. Let outsiders mistakenly think that we are using magic trucks, so that they cannot accurately judge our current strength."
Because the manufacturing materials of large magic trucks are relatively expensive, the manufacturing process is also very complicated, and the driver must be a magician above level 4, it is not suitable as a cheap means of transportation.
Aarons' plan is to disguise all new trucks as magic trucks to make people who are not aware of it misjudge it.
"I understand. I will inform the workshop of your instructions. In addition--"
"Sorry to bother you! Lord Marquis, something happened outside and I need your instructions!"
While Aarons and Xia Ye were discussing future arrangements, a sergeant walked into his office with an anxious look, and even looked a little flustered.
"Just now, a strange person challenged us outside the base... That person claimed to be a mercenary and was commissioned by someone else to kill you."
"What? Why are mercenaries so... No, is there only one person?"
"There is indeed only one person, and he looks very polite... He doesn't look like a mercenary at all."
After hearing this description, Aarons rubbed his eyebrows in distress. Although he had such a premonition a long time ago, he didn't expect it to come so soon.
--He has guessed who the person is.
"Got it. I'll go deal with that guy now... Karin and Keliya are back in the city now, so let Zhuying go with me."
"Are you going in person, Marquis?! Then I'll call the guards..."
"No need, that would be too rude. Xia Ye, please deal with these documents first."
Although the person who came was indeed an enemy, Aarons didn't think the other party really had any hostility.
