Tang En was very satisfied with the successful development of the electromagnetic sniper rifle.
Tang En did not really care about the strategic significance of the electromagnetic sniper rifle. What was important was that once the electromagnetic sniper rifle could be successfully put into production, the researchers at the Magic Energy Engineering Research Institute would be able to understand the principles behind it. Then, they would be able to lay a good foundation for the next step of developing the Magic Energy Electromagnetic Cannon and even the Magic Energy Electromagnetic Tank.
The powerful electromagnetic cannon was the real killer — even a magic shield couldn't withstand the bombardment of a 100-kilogram bullet at ten times the speed of sound!
After chatting with Nokia and the others about the electromagnetic sniper rifle, Tang En left and went directly to the Magic Machine Factory.
The Tang Dynasty Magic Machine Factory was now one of the largest factories in the Ellington Industrial Zone. The popular combine harvesters, magic cultivators, magic drilling rigs, and the recently launched Harley-Davidson motorcycles were all produced here. The amount of universal alloy consumed every day was quite shocking, almost half of the steel mill's production capacity was consumed. The other half was consumed by the Magic Machine Factory in the Black Rock Cave.
And now, the consumption of universal alloy in the Magic Machine Factory was going to increase again.
Because Tang En had set up a few more production lines here.
They were used to produce magic buses.
That's right, it was the bus that Fiona and Alleria had discussed in the transportation plan for the convenience of travel.
With Ellington's current industrial foundation, it wasn't difficult to produce buses. Tang En only needed to draw a basic design, mark the lines of the magic engine and the mana channel, and give a rough outline of the structure. Then, he would let Alice redesign it and give it to the Magic Engineering Research Institute for them to break down the design and design the basic parts and molds. After that, he would hand it over to the Magic Machine Factory to smoothly produce the buses according to the instructions given by the researchers on the design.
Of course, if the new artificial soul alchemy puppet technology was used, the production would be even simpler. With that thing, as long as the production process was instilled into the artificial soul, there would be no need for workers to supervise. As long as they saw the parts, they would automatically start production. It was very convenient.
But Ellington couldn't completely replace all the workers on the production line with puppets due to the limited production capacity of the puppets. He still had to rely on Einstein Baylon to solve this problem.
Most of the members of the Ellington Family had already returned to the castle. Only Histisa and a few Master Alchemists remained. They absorbed the technology from Ellington's side in the Magic Engineering Research Institute while passing on some alchemy knowledge to Ellington's rogue mages.
He did not expect those rogue Mages to become Master Alchemists, as long as they understood the techniques involved and did not drag him down.
"My Lord, no, Your Majesty, why are you here? This way please, it's too noisy here. "
Guster, who was patrolling the workshop, was flattered when he saw Tang En. He quickly invited Tang En to his quiet office.
"You are … Oh, yes, Guste."
Tang En slapped his forehead as he remembered.
Guste did not expect Tang En to remember his name. He was so excited that his body trembled. He immediately straightened his back and said, "It is my honor to have Your Majesty remember my name!"
Guste was Gillian's father, and Gillian was one of Elijah's few friends. Tang En still remembered Elijah's friends very clearly.
Tang En chuckled and waved his hand. "Don't be so excited. I'm just here to see how the production of the buses is going."
Guste said loudly, "Rest assured, Your Majesty. We have already produced a third of the buses. We can deliver them now. There's still plenty of time left. We will definitely complete the production task within the planned time!"
Tang En had initially given the factory the task of producing a thousand magic buses. He estimated that a batch of the buses would be placed in a few major cities for trial runs. He gave Guste the deadline of the end of the month of summer, which meant that there was still half a month left.
"More than three hundred buses have been produced so quickly?"
Tang En was a little surprised. Recently, Ellington's production efficiency was a little frightening. Could it be that they had all cast Haste?
"Now, everyone is very familiar with the way we work together," Guste said with a smile.
Gu Site chuckled and said, "In addition to the current three-shift work system, we can seamlessly coordinate the progress of our fellow workers. Naturally, the production efficiency is very high."
"I see. Bring me to the parking lot."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Guste led Tang En around the workshop and to the warehouse at the back.
Although it was called a warehouse, the warehouse of the factory was actually just a large shed. Moreover, it was one that Grandia had custom-made. It was a large tree that grew horizontally. Its flat and dense branches grew in a certain direction. In the end, it became a large shed that covered the large square below.
The products produced by the magical machine factory that had yet to be driven off were all parked here. The brand new magical buses that had just come off the production line were parked at one side of the shed. The area had been completely cleared and was now occupied by the buses that were painted green.
That's right, green.
Although Tang En had initially suggested that they should be painted red, he was firmly rejected by everyone. Red reminded people of blood and fire, which would make them feel uneasy.
At that time, Tang En's face was gloomy. There were so many red buses on Earth, and no one dared to get on them.
In the end, the color was decided to be a natural and comfortable emerald green. The decorative patterns were mainly the natural color of the universal alloy, with some other colors sprinkled in.
However, one could not help but admire Alice's design. After her redesign, the magic buses looked very comfortable. It was like a bus that had driven out of a dream. The patterns on the buses were beautiful and simple. It not only highlighted the industrial strength of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, but also did not add too many technical difficulties to production. Most importantly, they were very beautiful.
"Now, we have completed three hundred and forty-four … Oh, no, three hundred and forty-five buses."
Just as Guste was speaking, another magic bus that had just come off the production line slowly drove into the parking lot.
Tang En looked at the middle-aged man who had just gotten off the bus with great interest and asked, "How long did it take them to learn how to drive?"
"They …? Oh! "
Guste smiled. "Not too long. I read the instruction manual that Miss Fiona gave me, and then I went to the prototype car to try it myself after work. It only took me a few days to learn how to drive it."
After that, Guste said a little awkwardly, "I was curious, so I also went to try it out."
"Oh?"
Tang En retracted his gaze and looked at Guste. "How did it feel?"
"Not bad. It's a very novel thing. It's just … How should I put it? It feels a little awkward."
Guste scratched his head. "Do you think it will be more convenient if it's smaller?"
Tang En laughed. "You're right, but it won't be a bus if it's smaller. This thing carries passengers along a fixed route, not for private drivers. As for the more convenient car you're thinking of, I'll let you produce it later."
"Oh? That's great. I'll definitely buy one when the time comes! "
Guste was overjoyed. Although the Magic-Powered Public Bus was great, the problem was that it was too big and inconvenient. If there was a smaller vehicle, he, or the workers who had driven the Magic-Powered Public Bus before, would be more than happy to buy one.
With their current salary, they should be able to afford it.
Guste was very optimistic about this.
"Look forward to it."
Tang En smiled and left the magic machine factory.
The production of the magical buses would be completed in half a month. According to the agreed upon plan, three hundred magical buses would be left in Ellington, and they would travel according to the planned routes in the old and new districts. However, rather than calling them buses, it would be better to call them shuttles, because in Ellington, almost all of the residents worked for the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce …
At the same time, the Ellington Liege's Residence, which was also Fiona's side, had begun to recruit candidates for driver training. It was not just Ellington's side. Aurelia's announcement in Alinx had also attracted the curiosity of many people. Although many people did not know what a bus driver was, there were still many unemployed people who met the requirements to register at the city hall.
After the preliminary selection was completed, Ellington still needed to prepare the teaching materials and the initial trainers for the Alinx Driving School.
As for the first generation of drivers in Prandal, naturally, they could only rely on Tang En to train them personally. Judging from the results, his hard work from a few days ago was not in vain.
When the magic buses were officially put into use, these drivers must all be trained to be qualified, and they must also understand the responsibilities on their shoulders.
"The buses will be in place at the end of the month, and the driver training is also in progress. The road traffic modification has already begun, and the traffic signal lights are gradually being erected. After the bus routes are confirmed, the bus stop boards can also start to be made …"
Tang En muttered as he walked. Although everything seemed to be perfect, he always felt that he had inadvertently overlooked something very important.
What was it?
"My friend!"
At this time, a sharp voice suddenly sounded beside him, startling Tang En.
Tang En could not help but say, "Jiarian! Are you trying to scare me to death? "
"Long time no see, Lord Tang En."
Red Dragon Azhorkamanda said to Tang En with a smile, "Losing vigilance is not the mentality that a strong person should have."
"I just happened to be thinking about something …"
When Tang En saw the glowing Jiarian, he was suddenly startled, and hazy things seemed to appear in his mind.
"My friend, I heard that you have a new idea to make a fortune, right?"
Jiarian laughed mischievously. "I feel that you seem to need us."
"You? No, no, no, I don't need you at all … "
"Of course you need us!"
Jiarian narrowed his eyes and laughed. "I heard that you want to make some kind of bus? I think it's definitely not free, right? I feel that you need to cooperate with us in terms of charging fees … The convenience of our Star Diamond Bank's crystal card payment is beyond your imagination! "
Damn it!
Tang En slapped his forehead and said that he had forgotten something.
The bus card!
