Chen Yi

Chen Yi once again brought the Yun Cun Four Brothers onto the subway, aiming to go to a warehouse near Times Square in the United States to bring back two Sakson wheeled armored transport vehicles he had ordered two months ago.

These armored vehicles, equipped with spherical gun turrets and four firing ports on each side, were riot-control vehicles in nature, suitable for dealing with unarmed civilians rather than armies armed to the teeth; designed by the British, they were mainly provided to police and special police for suppression or preparation for suppression.

In Chen Yi's eyes, knights below the Duelist level on the West Continent were no different from unarmed civilians, and their dense phalanx charges characteristic of the cold weapon era were the best targets for heavy machine guns. Although Sakson was a product from 50 years ago, its mechanical performance was reliable, making it suitable for pairing with heavy and light machine guns. Newer equipment was becoming increasingly automated, reducing crew numbers but increasing requirements for personnel.

Students from the West Continent wouldn't be much better at driving armored vehicles than the natives; with these 10 Sakson vehicles, highway security for West River City Fortress should be guaranteed. The 40-kilometer-long cement road could fully deploy three detachments of native soldiers for rotating patrols; although it couldn't guarantee absolute safety, it should be sufficient.

Native merchants of this era either relied on protection within large merchant caravans or had to possess strong capital themselves; occasional deaths from attacks, as long as they weren't too many, were within their tolerance—the prices of goods sold by merchants originally included their death risk.

The drive went smoothly; Chen Yi also went to the Lower East Side midway to buy Jewish takeout, and through Emily on the New York market purchased over 80 tons of paper from Africa.

These supplies were only collected and organized by her over the past month or so, after all Chen Yi's requirements were very high, and her working hours were short. Of course, the $10,000 monthly part-time income Chen Yi paid her was still quite considerable, not less than tips on Fifth Avenue.

Chen Yi then sent this over 20 tons of paper to the Holy Qiao Kingdom, once again drawing exclamations; Grand Mage Timothy, although knowing that generations of "Masters" were getting stronger and stronger, didn't expect them to become strong so quickly to this extent.

In his eyes, that wasn't 80 tons of special paper, but over 8 million sheets of scroll paper; whether low-grade or high-grade, it was enough for a long-term war.

The Kingdom Knights stationed on the upper levels of the Magic Tower could only express their intense emotions with "Master is mighty"; going from being bullied on three fronts to counterattacking on three fronts only required this "little" change.

Chen Yi, who had just gained 1.27 billion, began studying the seized goods on the crystal screen. As far as he saw, the crystal screen had many restrictions on items; basically only magic-like items carried by captured mages would be listed on the crystal screen, and anything owned by the Holy Qiao Kingdom itself had to be excluded. Space storage rings, skill copy scrolls, and phantom wands were all like this; recently, probably due to campaign victories, the harvest was greater, but it was probably only the harvest of two or three mages—from the perspective of war, unless extremely lucky or an annihilation battle formed by absolute strength, the chance of resurrecting mages was nearly zero, while deaths happened from time to time.

Precisely because of this, seized goods tended to be more novel; Chen Yi saw items apparently seized from alchemists, with strange names, so he asked Timothy: "Introduce these few things to me."

"Yes, Master. Eternal Light is equipment that can stay lit continuously, usable for two days in dark environments..."

Chen Yi thought for a moment and understood: it was just a light bulb.

"Eternal Water can evolve sewage into purified water..."

Chen Yi shook his head; sewage purifiers weren't worth money anymore.

"Hengda Treasure, can transform one raw material into another."

Material converter? Chen Yi raised his head in surprise, quickly determining the price of 2 million gold coins; since using trucks to transport paper, his gold coin count had rapidly risen to a level the Holy Qiao Kingdom couldn't afford.

Full of hope, the "Hengda Treasure" disappointed Chen Yi. Perhaps, this should be called fraud by the crystal screen.

The "Hengda Treasure" was basically a miniature boiler, just able to fill oxygen or other gases inside, thereby oxidizing a pure raw material... apart from exquisite design, it was worth nothing on Earth.

Seeing the "Master's" displeased expression, Timothy said anxiously: "Recently there have mostly been large-scale positional battles; this alchemist captive was occasionally caught during fleet movements."

Before large-scale positional battles, they were large-scale positional battle defenses. Although the Magic Continent where the Holy Qiao Kingdom was located had a long-lasting civilization, the commoners' living standards were low, soldier consumption was high, and logistics were difficult. Unless a team composed of mages could survive for a long time without supplies, other flanking and splitting tactics were almost impossible to achieve.

Chen Yi concealed his disappointment and asked: "Continue talking about the rest."

"Yes, Magic Generator, can produce intense flames, used for forging higher-grade metals..."

"High-temperature flame. Maybe slightly better than an alcohol blowtorch." Chen Yi said directly; in his eyes, this unlucky alchemist was more like a failed inventor.

Timothy said "Yes," and finally introduced: "Water-Land Divine Box, can float on water, and can also be pulled by camel beasts or puppets on flat roads, but... weight 250 tons, length 1500 meters, width 30 meters, height 10 meters, divided into 30 parts inside, more suitable for being towed by a fleet at sea."

As a wise Grand Mage, Timothy had long been familiar with Earth's units of measurement to facilitate communication with Chen Yi.

Chen Yi laughed loudly: "The ship that can pull it can load cargo itself... hahaha..."

The laughter abruptly stopped.

Chen Yi turned his face and asked: "What is its carrying capacity?"

"Carrying capacity? Don't know..."

"When you captured that mage back then, was his fleet used to tow this thing?"

"Yes, 30 large ships towed it, but there were very few goods inside; it was said they were afraid it would sink if fully loaded."

Truly a useless design! But useful to me.

Chen Yi didn't know how strong the towing force needed to pull this big fellow several times longer and wider than a train, but presumably it could always be solved. Compared to that, the transport capacity it could add for himself had increased a hundredfold.

He slapped his head hard, thinking: truly stupid, always thinking of buying more trucks, why not get a train that can be towed on land, and the subway was originally on rails—well, the Chen Family Department Store would also have to be dismantled.

"Master?"

"Oh. I'll take this one." Chen Yi paid 82 million gold coins and completed the transaction straightforwardly.

"Please wait a moment." Timothy didn't expect him to choose such a cumbersome item; when it was sent back to the Holy Qiao Kingdom, it was brought back as a war trophy for show, requiring 2 Red Robe Mages and 20 Grand Mages, plus hundreds of camel beasts to bring it back, and the cost was truly not low.

"Is that alchemist still here?"

"Oh, he is."

Chen Yi nodded slightly and said: "Take good care of him, let him consider manufacturing such items again."

"Such items?" Timothy completely couldn't understand.

"Things for loading cargo." Chen Yi pointed to the trucks behind him and said: "From now on I can send more things over."

"Master... wise!" Timothy rejoiced as if advancing to Grand Mage.

The Water-Land Divine Box was indeed huge and clumsy.

Its length was equivalent to 60 train passenger carriages, 135 freight cars, its width was over 7 times that of an ordinary train, its height was slightly increased; considering volume, it was approximately 450 passenger carriages, 1000 freight carriages.

If viewed with common passenger trains, it was indeed perversely long, equivalent to the length of thirty or forty passenger cars, but compared to ultra-long freight trains, it wasn't that impressive—China's longest freight train formation should belong to the Daqin Line's heavy coal cars; a 20,000-ton formation had 270 carriages, and an experimental 40,000-ton formation had 500 carriages... Earth's designers, when conditions permitted, were no less perverse than the alchemists of the Other Continent.

The mages disassembled the Water-Land Divine Box into 30 parts and sent them into the subway, then taught him the installation and disassembly method; when the Magic Subway returned to Jiangning, it was Chen Yi's turn to worry.

The subway station definitely couldn't hold so many things, so Chen Yi had to continue challenging the Magic Subway's limits. He was like someone occupying a spot, placing a section of the Water-Land Divine Box horizontally in front of the subway gate, then dragging out another section, exhausting his strength to place it under the parking lot of the Jiangning Department Store, then returning to the subway station.

Thank goodness, the Magic Subway was still parked there, with a train tightly jammed on the door, its roof lifted up.

The difference between a private subway and a public subway was like the difference between a mistress and a prostitute; the former was always waiting for you, while the latter made you queue and wait.

In terms of technology, apart from being able to float on water, the only thing worth praising about the Water-Land Divine Box was its weight; 1500 meters long but only 250 tons heavy, needless to say, Lord Alchemist must have used many precious materials, otherwise it wouldn't be worth 82 million gold coins; if converted to RMB, this money was enough to build a Daqin Line.

The parking lot couldn't hold 30 carriages worth either, so he dragged it until evening, then found a tow truck to hang temporarily assembled flatbeds, towing them to the nearby Jiangjing Storage Area. The tow trucks and flatbeds were mostly obtained from the military; some were standard equipment for transporting tanks, some were modified by Jiangning's engineering team themselves. If not for Chen Yi's identity, not only would he not be able to get these equipment, but there would also be considerable trouble during transport—the traffic police directly blocked road traffic in the distance, almost counting as a serious violation.

Of course, for a Leader or a Leader's children to violate regulations — that is the maximum Happiness of powerful people; the Traffic Police Captain wearing olive branches finds it sweet as honey.
