Chapter 469 The Shelter's Black Technology - Wind Shuttle and Magnetic Gold Shuttle

"However, with so little gold mined in the past few months, it seems that the firearms and ammunition of the Skyhawk cannot be purchased with the gold here for the time being." George shook his head and sighed.

Originally, George planned to take some gold back to purchase artillery and artillery ammunition - lead bullets, and even a small amount of silver bullets. These things rely on forging by oneself, and the productivity of the Skyhawk is a bit tight. Moreover, many firearms and ammunition in the various territories of Elda are now gathering dust. The procurement cost is extremely low. If you play the card of grain trade, it is not a problem to use some gold in advance to purchase a large number of them at that cost.

Hei Xin saw the boss's mood and reported a good news: "My lord, underground creatures have the habit of collecting. We have collected some dog-head gold, gold sand and gems in their nests, and they have all been loaded."

"How much?" George's eyes sparkled.

"The nest has a good harvest. There are about 300 magic gems in total, and the total of large and small ones should be more than 1,500 carats. As for gold, it is about 4,000 kilograms."

"That's more than 100 gold bars?!"

"But, sir," Angel said cautiously: "We still need these gold sands in our shelter."

At the beginning, Dakens used more than ten years of gold production to exchange for a small magic hub with the Forbidden Sanctuary - according to Rosgerd, this magic hub "weighs" 170,000 kilograms.

More than 80 tons of gold!

Anthony told himself that although the forbidden wizards squeezed out all the gold that the Rodunk royal family had saved for more than ten years (more than ten years of savings, not more than ten years of production), the actual manufacturing cost was probably less than one-fifth. And the gold used for alchemy into eternal gold is at most more than ten tons - that is, more than 20,000 kilograms.

If the production is not enough, it is also okay to make a smaller magic hub.

George did not intend to give a discount to the Magic Hub of the Shelter, but it was no problem to take a dozen gold bars as a deposit for the purchase of the Skyhawk firearms.

In addition, the more than 200 tons of cargo included copper ore, iron ore, and a lot of lead and silver. Lead and silver can be used as ammunition - this time he wanted to try whether three pounds of silver and lead could kill the black demon.

After a tour of the town that day, George and others set off.

When George came to the glacier of the Green Hills again, he rode Anubis and looked down from the glacier. The melted Senus River was surging in the wind and rain, constantly hitting the cliffs on both sides.

It was already early April, and a sudden heavy rain brought spring to the north.

In the wind and rain, twenty behemoths were moving between the mountain walls. Their real bodies were not so big. What was big was the huge "tent" they dragged on their backs. And the shape of this tent was a bit like a boat. Anthony also gave these ‘vehicles’ a very vivid name – ‘Wind Shuttle’.

But George prefers to call them ‘big trailers’ or ‘mobile tents’.

In order to fix the ‘Wind Shuttle’ on Gerry Jones, it was covered with spider webs and tightly tied to these big beetles.

This looks very funny, like dung beetles carefully carrying big dung eggs, or big turtles. However, they are very agile between the mountain walls. It seems that if they were not carrying things, they could also pass through the 90-degree mountain walls at will.

When they arrived at the high cliff above the river, a person dressed as an apprentice walked out of each tent. After getting off the car, the apprentice chanted a spell to remove the spider web. Then the Wind Shuttle, under the operation of the apprentices, unfolded its magic wind wings, was hung on the feet of these big beetles, and began to glide towards the opposite mountain wall.

George looked at these Gerry Jones and nodded secretly.

These mines were tied in the car. Although the area occupied was small, the quality of the ore was extremely large. All the minerals added together, each vehicle weighs more than ten tons!

If they were not afraid that these things would fall into the abyss because they were too heavy, these ‘tanks’ would be able to carry them even if the vehicles were fully loaded.

Not to mention how valuable the ore inside is, just these ‘trailers’, if they were all dismantled and sold as scrap metal, each one could sell for more than two thousand silver foxes (cost).

According to Anthony’s data, the vehicle he built has a carrying capacity of sixty tons - when they were in the shelter, these vehicles often traveled back and forth between the ‘Spider Town’ and the shelter, responsible for transporting the iron ingots that had been smelted in the town! And even if they were walking on mountain roads, as long as there was an apprentice on the car to operate the ‘wind wings’ on the car, they could walk on flat ground while being pulled by the scarab, and turn their heads smoothly with the movement of the scarab. On particularly difficult roads, the wind wings can even assist the scarab in a short flight!

However, on the way from the Basin Gold Mine to here, George took these Gerry Jones from the mine to help Anthony conduct the test, and walked in a straight line - basically crossing the mountains and cliffs, and most of the time, the vehicles were tied to the scarabs by the apprentices with spider webs. But their daily travel speed reached 120 kilometers!

[George: "Anthony, you really have a very smart head - although the appearance of these cars is very different from what I drew"]

[Anthony: "Of course they can't all be made of steel, George, that would be too heavy! But don't worry, in addition to being able to move by itself, its carrying capacity, sturdiness, and flexibility are no worse than the 'big trailer' you mentioned."]

George nodded. He saw on the road that although these vehicles needed Gerry Jones to pull them in front, under the operation of the apprentices, the vehicles could turn with the footsteps of the beetles, just like 'car and beetle integration'.

[George: "Have you studied the kinetic energy suitable for these vehicles to move? The black oil I mentioned"]

[Anthony interrupted: "I know the 'petroleum' you are talking about. Some wizards like to use them to make some composite materials. It is said that they can also extract several flammable liquids. But no matter how high their reserves are, development is also a big problem. It may be difficult to meet the demand in a few years. And the internal combustion engine you mentioned is too complicated to study from scratch. It requires a complete industrial system to manufacture it."]

Hearing this, George was a little disappointed, but Anthony continued to speak.

【"But if the magic kinetic energy system of the puppets is modified, it should be able to meet your requirements - but if you want to make them run, I suggest that you do it after the magic hub is built. Otherwise, it is a bit of a waste to invest magic energy in transportation."】

George nodded.

【Anthony said: "I have been researching a new type of vehicle recently - the 'magnetic gold shuttle'. When these vehicles can use the magic power system, adding some Andora crystal elements when building the vehicles should be able to make them weightless. Maybe, we can make a flying machine in the future."】
