Chapter 684 Armored Suspended Train

At this time, some of the expressways on the earth had turned into ruins, but there were still several expressways that maintained their relatively complete state because these expressways were still in use. Every two or three years, someone would maintain these expressways to ensure their basic usage status.

In the territory of Yanhuang Kingdom, there is only one such highway, that is, the Yanyu Expressway. As the name suggests, the Yanyu Expressway is a highway connecting Yanjing City and Yuzhang City. The Yanyu Expressway is a new highway that combines part of several expressways before the Great Destruction. On the surface of this highway, it is reinforced with dimensional crystal ore powder, so that ordinary Yuanzhu cannot cause harm to this highway.

This expressway is the only expressway connecting Yuzhang City and Yanjing City. It takes about three days to reach Yanjing City through this expressway without accidents. But this incident does not happen. In fact, generally speaking, this time will be extended to about five days, because this expressway requires repair while walking.

Especially now, when Yuzhang City was surrounded, the Yanyu Expressway was severely damaged, and nearly 45 kilometers of roads were completely destroyed. After twenty days of emergency repairs, the expressway finally returned to basic smoothness, and the material communication between the pre-installed and Yanjing City was once again unblocked.

At this moment, on the Yanyu Expressway, a magnetic levitation train of about 100 meters was driving at a constant speed. It looked like a train, but this train was driving on the highway. What's even more strange is that this train was not composed one by one, but was formed into one, like a car.

Moreover, the train is very wide, with a width of about eight meters. The outside of the vehicle is covered with a thick layer of very tight armor, and it looks like there is no window, just like an armored vehicle. Please don't you or me.

This is the greatest invention of transportation after the great destruction of mankind: the armored magnetic levitation train.

Maybe everyone thinks this is not that great. Is it just to install a magnetic levitation device on an armored train? The armored train was eliminated before it was destroyed, okay?

The armored train was indeed eliminated before it was destroyed, but the problem is that there was no Yuan Ji before it was destroyed! After the great destruction, only the armored train, which had thick skin and flesh, could withstand Yuan Ji's crazy attack.

According to actual tests, the latest armored magnetic levitation train can ignore the direct attacks of Yuankes below the Dragon level. Its armor can withstand one hour of attacks of Yuankes at the Nether level, thirty minutes of attacks of Yuankes at the Moon level, and three minutes of attacks of Yuankes at the Yu-level level.

Therefore, the armored magnetic levitation train is also a relatively safe mobile fortress and is the preferred means of transportation for large-scale transportation of swordsmen and ordinary people.

Generally speaking, sword holders use their own magnetic levitation speed when traveling. The magnetic levitation speed is fast and small in size, and can travel through various complex terrains. At the same time, relying on their own speed to get rid of most of the pursuits of the corpus. The most important thing is to be able to enter their own dimensional pockets and is the preferred means of transportation for sword holders to travel on a small scale.

However, the energy consumption of magnetic levitation speed is too high and the cost of long-distance travel is too high. It may be the best choice when traveling on a small scale. However, once it becomes a large-scale trip or needs to transport many extremely heavy objects, the magnetic levitation speed is powerless. At this time, it has to rely on armored floating trains.

This is also the same thing before the great destruction. The lowest cost of large amounts of goods in long-distance transportation is sea transportation. In places without the sea, train transportation is the most cost-effective. No one will drive their own car to transport them for long-distance transportation to others.

Yanjing is the two most closely linked base cities with Yuzhang City. There are very heavy transportation tasks between the two cities every day. There will be a train every three days between the two cities, filled with millions of tons of various materials, which are all materials that cannot be produced in their own cities and obtained from another city.

It sounds a bit terrifying. Before the destruction, the standard load of a 60-1,500-meter-long freight train was 3,600 tons, and even if it was overloaded, it would not exceed 4,000 tons. Can your armored magnetic levitation train, which is only 100 meters long, actually hold millions of tons of cargo? Even if you can withstand the weight, how can you pile up so many supplies!

But in fact, an armored suspended train can indeed carry million tons, because these materials are not placed directly on the train, but in dimensional iron boxes. A standard one cubic meter dimensional iron box has 1,500 cubic meters of space, which is equivalent to expanding the space in the armored train by a full 1,500 times. An armored train is equivalent to the load of 1,500 ordinary freight trains. How can it not load million tons of materials?

Moreover, the production cost of dimensional iron boxes is much lower than that of dimensional pockets. The resources to produce a dimensional pocket can produce ten dimensional iron boxes, while the space of a dimensional pocket is only 1/10 of a dimensional iron box. Unfortunately, human technology still cannot break through. The size of the dimensional iron box is limited to one cubic meter, and the shape cannot be changed randomly like a dimensional pocket. This restricts the dimensional iron box to transportation, and it is impossible for the sword holder to carry such an intrusive thing.

Originally, the transportation routes between Yuzhang City and Yanjing City were once every three days, but since the Yueyang Fortress was broken, the transportation routes between Yuzhang City and Yanjing City had been silent for 60 days. Some materials between the two cities became extremely scarce. After a period of emergency repairs, the armored floating trains between the cities were filled with various urgently needed materials, and finally started again.

Generally speaking, in addition to freight, armored suspended trains also serve as passenger transport. Some sword holders who only want to go to Yanjing City, or some weak sword holders, and some ordinary people will choose to take armored suspended trains to Yanjing City or Yuzhang City. They will occupy about 20-meter-long cabin space of the armored suspended train, and this space of about 20 meters long is also the standard configuration of armored suspended trains.

But this time there are some special things. The space of the passenger compartment in the armored levitation train occupies fifty meters. This means that there is a lot of precious and urgently needed materials used, but there is no way to do so. Because this is the reopening of the armored levitation train after forty days, no one knows what unexpected situations happened in the highway in the past sixty days. Perhaps many highway roads have been destroyed by Yuanpu. By that time, the armored levitation train needs to stop and repair the road.

When the armored suspended train is stopped, it is the most dangerous time. At this time, the armored suspended train has the lowest defense and cannot get rid of some slower primordials. Therefore, a large number of sword holders are needed to protect the armored suspended trains. Therefore, the additional 30 meters of passenger space is all used to transport these sword holders who protect the armored suspended trains.

However, in addition to protecting the sword holders of the armored suspended train, there are some additional passengers on the train, which is the delegation of Yuzhang City to attend the Eighth Academy Conference.

I have said a long time ago that colleges in the eight major bases will meet each year to hold a competition between colleges. At the beginning, this was just to see how powerful the eight major bases are, so that the top leaders of human beings have a secret in their hearts, which is an absolutely kind thing.

But in the later stage, this matter gradually changed a little, and became a competition between the eight major bases and cities, competing for the potential of their own cities and the future of their own cities. It can even decide the right to speak for the eight major bases and cities in the Sword Committee.

Therefore, this has become a competition that the eight major base cities attach great importance to. Every year, each base city will select its most outstanding students to participate in the competition to win and win glory for its base.

Originally, the August conference should have started a month ago, but due to Yuzhang City, the conference was postponed by a month. This was already the mercy of the Sword Committee General Committee, so when the armored floating train was re-activated, this group of delegations immediately set off and went to Yanjing City to attend the Eighth Court Conference.

The delegation was led by Hu Xiao Jianling, the dean of Yuzhang College. There were three students participating in the competition, namely Gu Han, Ju Luren, and a female swordsman named Jin Yujia. It is said that Jin Yujia was originally the fifth candidate, but because the third and fourth candidates all died in the great invasion, Jin Yujia also rushed up.

In addition to Gu Han, Ju Luren and Jin Yujia are both sword-level sword-holders. Originally, Gu Han didn't want to participate in this competition, but just wanted to go to Yanjing City. Because Gu Han participated in the Eighth Academy Conference as a famous sword-level sword-holder, it was a bit shameless for Gu Han to participate in the Eighth Academy Conference, because most of the participants in the Eighth Academy Conference were sword-level sword-holders, Gu Han was suspected of bullying the small by participating in such competitions.

But the Tiger Roar Sword Spirit insisted on it because Yuzhang City has been downstream for many years, and the best result of participating in the conference in the past ten years is only third place. This makes the Tiger Roar Sword Spirit's face very ugly. Many people joked behind the scenes that he could not teach his disciples, although he could not teach his disciples at all.

For his own face, the Tiger Roar Sword Spirit almost knelt in front of Gu Han and begged him to participate in the competition. In the words of the Tiger Roar Sword Spirit, the Eighth Academy Conference is to test the strength of the younger generation of the eight major base cities, and to see which base city in the eight major base cities has more potential.

Therefore, there is only one restriction requirement for contestants, that is, it will take less than a year to be a sword holder. There is no other restriction, even the Emperor Sword-level sword holder is not a problem. There are many geniuses in history who participated in this competition as famous sword-level sword holders. Gu Han is not the first one, so there is no need to worry at all.
