Volume 3 Chapter 62 - Why would I develop it if it wasn’t good? (1/2)

Logistics was extremely developed in the modern world, but on the Sines Continent, it was currently limited to human transportation and some goods transportation.

As for major transportation, in the Lampuri Kingdom, it was mainly companies transporting their company’s goods and not other companies transporting goods for them.

On the surface, the Sines Continent’s companies didn’t have this habit, but it was actually because it was limited.

First, the biggest problem was the road.

Before the Falling Rain Road, the Sines Continent didn’t have any smooth roads suited for transportation. The cargo would be jolted on the road and there would be heavy losses like that, so the companies that made these products were not willing to give their important products to other companies to transport.

Because the key issue was that it was hard to transport items far on the Sines Continent. Because of limitations of the road and transport speed, it was likely to lose everything on the road.

For example, the various household magic machines that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce made were famous in Banta City and the surrounding cities, but they hadn’t spread across the Lampuri Kingdom in over two years. The biggest problem was their transportation problem.

Next was the transportation vehicle.

The main travel method on the Sines Continent was by horse, so the transportation vehicle used was the horse carriage.

First not mentioning the speed and the endurance of the horse carriage, just buying a horse required a lot of money and the cost of horse breeds made it even higher. So it wasn’t easy to create a carriage motorcade to transport their products.

These conditions limited the development of logistics, impeding the circulation of products.

Xu Yi found chairman Cruise and chairman Pompeii because chairman Cruise solved the road problem with the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, and chairman Pompeii would represent the Fersen Carriage Company to solve the transportation vehicle problem.

“According to our current experiments, the Magic Car’s main driving force is the Wind Magic Engine, which can reach the same power as six horses at most. At the same time, it can maintain high speed revolutions, traveling at a speed of over thirty five kilometers per hour……”

“Wait? Thirty five kilometers per hour?” Chairman Pompeii cut Xu Yi off in the middle of his description of the first generation Magic Car, “That means that this thing can run thirty five kilometers in an hour? It’s actually this fast?”

Chairman Cruise on the side also had a look of disbelief, shaking his head as he said with a sigh, “I thought that chairman Cruise telling me before that the Magic Car could run forty kilometers an hour was just boasting, but I never thought it would be true.”

Xu Yi snappily looked at them. He thought that if you’re this shocked by thirty five kilometers an hour, if you saw those F1 race cars from earth that could reach speeds of three hundred and fifty kilometers an hour, would your jaws drop in shock?

Of course, the horse carriages on the Sines Continent could only maintain a speed of twenty kilometers an hour and that wouldn’t last long, so it was no wonder they were shocked by the speed of the Magic Car.

“Right, chairman Xu, you just mentioned that this was when it was empty. How much would the speed be reduced if it was full of cargo? Also how long would it last? Is it faster or slower than a horse carriage?” Chairman Pompeii thought for a bit before asking.

“Of course it’s faster than a horse carriage, otherwise why would I develop this?” Xu Yi rolled his eyes and said, “Let me tell you, according to our experiments, the first generation Magic Car can transport less than a ton of products and can maintain a speed of thirty kilometers per hour, while also being able to go up a slope of no more than thirty degrees, so……”

Xu Yi turned to chairman Cruise and said, “In order to coordinate with the first generation Magic Car, I’ll have to trouble your Amrit Chamber of Commerce to reduce the angle of the slope when paving down roads. If there is a need, the slope can’t be more than thirty degrees.”

“This…..I’m afraid is a bit hard.” Chairman Cruise was in a bind, “Although our Lampuri Kingdom is mainly flat ground, there are still some mountains. To pave a road on a mountain, it is impossible for there not to be a curve.”

“Un, for mountains and viaducts, I’ll talk to you later, this is just a reminder for now. Anyway, your Amrit Chamber of Commerce is laying roads on flat ground, so it shouldn’t create too much of an angle.” Xu Yi said, “Moreover, this is the limit of the first generation Magic Car. When the Magic Car is more developed, an angle wouldn’t matter at all.”

“Mountain roads and viaducts?” Chairman Cruise’s eyes lit up.

Based on Xu Yi’s words, these two things were important things for constructing roads. Chairman Cruise felt impatient, as he wished he could discuss this with Xu Yi now.

But right now chairman Pompeii was asking Xu Yi other questions first.
