Chapter 359 The importance of road transportation

The important thing that Kepf has been doing is to strengthen his own power as much as possible, so as to make the next war as easy as possible.This is impossible, the human beings in this plane are too watery.And unless all the minions under him die, Kapf doesn't believe that the Pacific Emperor with the God of Water will go out in person!

Then it is necessary to consider the problem from the perspective of total war.In that case, a large number of troops and equipment will be needed, and the old handicraft industry will need to be rectified, and the handicraft industry will be converted into factories to provide sufficient equipment.But there’s one more thing, and that’s shipping!

Fighting not only depends on how much equipment you have, but also how much equipment can be put in place at the right time!A weapon that appears in the right place at the right time will double its value, that's why.

So what is the situation of the transportation industry in this plane?All Kepf could say was that it was a complete tragedy!It's much worse than the military in this plane!This plane is full of demons, the infrastructure is backward, and transportation in many areas still relies on animal power or even human power!

But this won't work...when it comes to the future ocean war, he can't drive millions of people to deliver things to him in pushcarts, right?That’s sending people to death!Although he is very heartless, the horror of this kind of thing can still scare him...

Then we can only find ways to improve the transportation industry.As for the transportation industry, apart from the relatively high-cost air transportation, the remaining three transportation methods are railway transportation, road transportation and inland water transportation.

Needless to say, inland water transportation has the lowest cost, but this war cannot be counted on.Those sea monsters will surely dominate all the rivers along the southeast coast.Then there are two types left, rail transportation and road transportation.

Railways are few and far between.After the war started, he could not guarantee how much power would be available to build new railways.Just modify the existing railways, don't think too much about it.Then only one road transport is left.

Some people may ask, doesn’t he have a suitable Yalong?Why not use Yalong to transport things?First of all, the Wurm itself is not a beast of burden, and transporting it with this kind of thing is not a good choice.As soon as this thing flies in the air and exerts all its strength, the cargo on its back will scatter all over the ground!

It's okay to carry some soldiers on his back, but it's unimaginable for Kepf to transport things!As for whether we can get some more tamed animals suitable for transporting things?Kepf wants to say that even if this thing is built, the cost of use will not be particularly cheap.Tamed animals that are too light cannot transport much cargo, and the damage caused to the road by those heavyweights cannot be ignored.

A taming beast weighing more than [-] tons can pull almost [-] tons of cargo, but this kind of heavyweight player can smash a hole in a single step on the road!It is very damaging to long-term transportation capacity.In fact, generally speaking, the weight of large trucks on the road will not exceed [-] tons. Passing this line will cause too much damage to the road.And the heavyweight monsters in this plane can easily break through a hundred tons!
So what to do?Problems have to be solved, right?Since the ability to tame animals was unreliable, Kepf had no choice but to focus on cars!In fact, the load capacity of specialized trucks is quite a lot, and super trucks with more than [-] tons can be considered.Because a truck is different from a tame animal because it bears even force on the road!

But the problem is that there are also problems in the use of cars, which are costly and dangerous.Therefore, this matter has always been on his research schedule, trying to solve this matter.And today, he finally got results!
Faced with the possible attacks of wild monsters, the mages of this plane also summed up some methods.Including restraining breath, concealing whereabouts, using spiritual system to induce and so on.Of course, there are also those who use magic tools.Among them, a magic tool called invisibility cloak caught his attention.

Zhao Manyan, a dude from the Zhao family, has an invisibility cloak.And he also treats this thing as a project.But the difference is that he wants to mass-produce this thing industrially.

A batch of finished products were also made, and these finished products received good feedback from the vampires under Shion.The matter was already over, but when he realized the pressures of future transportation and the potential of the automotive industry, Kepf picked up the project again.But the difference is that we need to develop a coating that can make it invisible.

Paint that can be applied to people or cars to make them invisible.It needs to be low cost, the formula is stable, and it can be mass produced.Therefore, it took him a long time to succeed.And with the paint that can make him invisible in front of monsters, Kepf also dared to get involved in the automobile industry!
"It turns out that there is a new type of stealth paint. I really congratulate you. But if this is the case, why don't you invest in the construction of a paint factory in the UK? It's not a lot of money. Moreover, it is easier to recruit in the UK." workers and engineers.”

Grand Duchess Irene understood a little.Then she offered her own counter-proposal.If this is the case, why not invest in a paint factory in the UK?
"That's because in southwest China, our price costs are much lower than in the UK! Although there are more people in the UK, there are cheaper raw materials in southwest China! We can sign rubber supply contracts in India, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand According to the contract, the freight for bulk transportation of rubber there to southwest China is not expensive. But when it comes to the UK, the cost of raw materials will probably double."

"I'm really defeated by you!"

What can Archduchess Irene say?Indeed.There is no oil on this plane, which means no synthetic rubber.Therefore, car tires must be made of natural rubber.The largest natural rubber producing area is Southeast Asia, which is very close to southwest China, so shipping costs are cheaper.

And to the UK?Although Grand Duchess Irene had never learned about transportation, she instinctively felt that the freight would not be low, and the cost would also rise a lot!As we all know, the movement of people is very easy. As long as the government signs and seals it, the movement of people is just a matter of an air ticket or a boat ticket.The flow of bulk raw materials is not that easy!
"I need to discuss this issue with the elders in my family before I give you an answer. But I believe the Victoria family is willing to make such a deal with you."

"Then I'll wait."

Trucks and vans are also commodities.After reducing costs through industrialization, the profit from almost [-] to [-] cars can reach [-] million US dollars!And this is naturally a big market.Grand Duchess Irene actually wanted to get a share of the pie, but she couldn't make her own decision.She would have to discuss it with the elders in her family.
