Following Luo Ji's instructions, the Academy of Science and Technology, which had produced the results, quickly increased its quarterly research funding by 20%.

In this regard, Xu Jing and other members of the Academy of Science and Technology are naturally more motivated.

Soon he built the first car of his civilization.

Of course, a more accurate term would be a transport truck.

For the current civilization of all worlds, everything must be invested in the military field first.

Are two-seater or four-seater family cars of any use in the military field?

What Luo Ji needs now is a transport truck that can transport large quantities of logistics supplies and heavy ordnance in the wild! This is valuable to him.

And here, it is worth mentioning by the way that Ye Qingxuan’s business civilization has just unlocked a new ability project called ‘Battlefield Merchant’ some time ago.

The ability of this new project can be said to be quite simple and crude. To put it simply, it means that it can conduct transactions without being affected by the combat status!

According to the limitations of the original system, players are completely unable to perform any transaction operations while in combat.

But Ye Qingxuan's business civilization broke this restriction with the special project of this 'battlefield businessman'.

Relying on the advantage of being able to trade emergency supplies to players in combat status, she can be said to have made a lot of money recently, not only in civilization points and development resources, but also in some rare props that cannot be bought under normal circumstances.

She got a lot done to her.

And she got this silver-level truck design from a player who was in combat and in urgent need of supplies.

At a really critical moment, I believe many players would be happy to exchange these props for some life-saving resources.

And it is precisely because of this that Ye Qingxuan seizes unlimited business opportunities. To say that she is making money every day is probably an understatement.

At the same time, the entire reputation of the 'mysterious businessman' is becoming more and more famous.

Now within the Silver tier, many players are eager to sign a trade agreement with this unknown 'mysterious businessman'.

Although the starting price is high, for players who are in a critical situation of life and death, as long as it can save lives, it is a good deal.

Now, coming back to the civilization of all realms, the first test of the transport truck was placed outside the city.

Since the operation method is quite difficult for people who have never had any contact with vehicles, the driving task was handed over to people from the Science and Technology Institute.

Even Luo Ji was just watching from the side. He could actually drive, but due to his own personality, he had little interest in driving or cars.

There are always people who say that all men love cars, that cars are men's little wives, etc. Luo Ji always sneered at such remarks that directly affected all men, cars? What are they? I just like battleships, tanks, bombers, why?

Already?

The test of the transport truck went extremely smoothly. There is obviously no problem in using it to transport large ordnance weapons such as cannons. It will definitely be faster than horse-drawn carriages anyway.

Later, Luo Ji undoubtedly planned to build a production factory specifically to produce vehicles for military use.

For this reason, it is natural to confirm with Xu Jing the issues of resource consumption and production efficiency.

The final result proved that according to the current situation, it is impossible to produce on a large scale and with high efficiency, because some technical problems in it still cannot reach the level of assembly line production.

Moreover, this driver also needs to take some time to train.

Luo Ji also expressed his understanding of this.

In any case, let’s start building a dedicated production factory and start production first.

Soldiers can continue to ride horses, and transport trucks can greatly speed up the delivery efficiency of military resources and ordnance weapons. Under the premise of an expedition, the value of transport trucks will naturally be greatly reflected.

Things here need to be arranged quickly, whether it is the training of drivers or the production of transport trucks, they must be started quickly.

During this period, big moves like this naturally attracted people's attention.

Even many businessmen have clearly felt the value of transport trucks.

But in fact, it is still too early to put it into civilian use as the military does not have enough.

We have to wait until he finishes fighting this all-out war.

However, things like traffic rules, signboards, traffic lights, zebra crossings, etc. can be written slowly on the plan first.

So as not to have to deal with a lot of things at once and make yourself confused.

As mentioned before, Luo Ji knew how to drive. During the summer vacation, he temporarily went to take the driver's license test. At the same time, where he worked during the summer vacation, he would be asked to drive goods from time to time.

So he is quite familiar with traffic rules.

I thought of one thing and wrote one, and it didn't take much time to write dozens of them. I also roughly drew a lot of signs. It can be said that it went very smoothly.

Some time later, the construction of the production plant successfully triggered a construction project.

Luo Ji did not hesitate to spend a sum of points to upgrade that project to level five, in order to improve the manufacturing efficiency of transport trucks.

The driver selection is also directly selected from the army.

Due to the temporary limited supply of finished product transport trucks, most drivers can only temporarily study in writing and then take turns to perform actual driving operations.

During this period, Luo Ji discovered that the goblin soldiers were surprisingly good at operating such equipment.

They learn the fastest and can drive with ease.

The only troublesome thing is that the seats and cab have to be slightly adjusted according to their body shapes.

However, this is not a problem.

Anyway, they don't have an assembly line factory yet, so making some adjustments is just a minor issue.

Just before winter begins, the first military transport convoy of all civilizations has been officially formed.

As for this convoy, Luo Ji naturally planned to give priority to rear support for the southern expedition army.

Loaded with military supplies, the transport convoy drove along the smooth road to the Elven Province in the south.

Here, I have to mention that although transport trucks also emit exhaust gas, the level is obviously not comparable to that of steam trains, and it is considered within the acceptance range of the elves.

At least so far, the people of the elves have not launched any protests.

This discovery is very important. From this point of view, before more advanced, non-polluting large-scale civilian transportation vehicles are produced, he should be able to use some small and medium-sized vehicles as the main mode of transportation in the southern border.

Thinking of this, Luo Ji decisively took out his development plan, and then made notes and marks very carefully.

At this point, this matter has been officially put on his agenda...
Chapter completed!
