It’s early summer again.
The hot air wave swept across the entire Principality of Standing just like previous years.
Although Xu Yi's private territory is located in the north of the Principality of Standing, it still cannot escape the heat wave and is bathed in the supreme power of summer.
The locals of the Principality of Standing are naturally very adaptable to this kind of climate, and the employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have already adapted to this special climate because they have been here for several years.
However, the people who came here from other places on the mainland are extremely uncomfortable with the heat that has just entered early summer and is already as hot as late summer. Everyone's body is more or less soft due to the heat wave. As for even the movements that he usually does extremely smoothly are a little out of shape.
"boom-"
The round steel pipe weighing thirty kilograms fell to the ground, making a muffled sound and throwing up a cloud of dust.
Hart shook his head and waved his hand: "Next!"
The man standing in the center of the venue suddenly looked dejected, moved his lips, and showed reluctance. In the end, he didn't say anything and walked out of the venue dejectedly.
Watching another strong man behind him walk into the arena, Heinze, who was sitting next to Hart, frowned: "I'm afraid not many people can pass the test like this?"
Hart glanced down at the form in his hand and hummed.
"So far today, only eighty-three people have qualified."
"This is too little." Heinze couldn't help but said. "At this rate, if we want to recruit a thousand people, we don't know how long it will take."
Hart shrugged: "Anyway, the President said, it's better to be incompetent than indiscriminate. This test must be carried out strictly in accordance with the standards he specified. Those who fail to meet the standards will be eliminated. There is no mercy."
Heinze shook his head slowly: "He just wants to recruit a thousand personal guards. It's not wrong to make the requirements more stringent, but to be so strict is too outrageous. If you say that he requires these people to have A strong enough body is enough, why do you have to ask these people to be mentally flexible? He is not recruiting staff."
"The president just requires that his personal guards can easily master and operate military magic machines. This requirement has long been popular among our chamber of commerce guards," Hart said. "After all, as the president's personal guard, how can he not use military magic machinery?"
Heinze thought for a while and was a little puzzled: "I don't understand. If he really wants to make this request, why doesn't he just directly transfer some guards from the Chamber of Commerce's escort team to serve as his personal guards? Anyway, the entire Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is It’s his, he can do whatever he wants, who else dares to have any objections?”
Hart laughed: "Vice President, aren't you just giving your opinion? Of course, the President said, this is to clearly separate the powers of the Chamber of Commerce escort team and his personal guard pair, so as to avoid future problems." There's trouble."
"What trouble could there be?" Heinze was even more puzzled. He turned around and glanced at a candidate who had just taken the test, thinking that Xu Yi was thinking too much.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now grown to an extremely large scale. It can be regarded as a first-class large chamber of commerce in the Lampali Kingdom, but if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is Xu Yi's chamber of commerce alone. Then surely no one would object to this.
In this case, why would he bother to recruit additional human guards
These newly recruited guards are obviously not as reassuring as the guards who have served in the Chamber of Commerce for several years, and their abilities are bound to be inferior. If he wants private security, of course the guards from the Chamber of Commerce are more suitable.
And Xu Yi didn't just do this in front of human guards. This time he spread the news and claimed that he would recruit a large number of private guards for his territory, including not only a thousand human guards, but also a thousand elves. Guards, and a thousand dwarf guards.
And according to the information he revealed privately, he is likely to recruit a thousand orc guards from the Black Rice Wasteland.
If such a private escort is formed, it will become a multi-racial coalition.
The relationship between these alien races and humans is not very harmonious, and they all dislike each other. If they are put together, this private guard may not be able to live in peace.
After Heinze continued to watch Xu Yi's recruitment of personal guards for a while, he finally couldn't sit still and found Xu Yi with a worried look on his face.
Xu Yi was currently in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Magic Machine Tool R&D Center, having a heated discussion with Canby and other engineers around a strange device. He didn't notice Heinze's arrival until Heinze patted him hard on the shoulder. .
And when Heinze asked him about recruiting private guards, he was actually stunned for a moment before he responded.
Judging from his performance, he didn't seem to care much about this matter at all.
"Well... Heinze, I don't think you need to worry about this. The benefits of being my personal guard are so good, even if they don't like each other, they won't be able to cause any trouble.|"
"But… "
Heinze wanted to say more, but Xu Yi stopped him by the shoulder, pointing enthusiastically at the strange-looking device surrounded by people: "Okay, don't worry about these trivial matters, let's take a look at this, this is What I really care about is also what you, the Vice President, really need to pay attention to.”
Heinze couldn't help but roll his eyes, knowing that with Xu Yi's attitude, no matter how he asked, Xu Yi probably wouldn't answer.
However, he and Xu Yi have known each other for so many years, and he knows that Xu Yi will never do anything meaningless.
He suddenly wanted to recruit so many personal guards, so he must have long-term considerations.
Heinze was already in a semi-retired state. This time he suddenly came all the way from Bangta City to the Principality of Standing because he suddenly heard the news that Xu Yi needed to recruit private guards. He couldn't help but feel sorry for Xu Yi and Xin. The Flying Chamber of Commerce is concerned and wants to ask Xu Yi what's going on.
Although Xu Yi has not yet asked about his actual plan, judging from Xu Yi's demeanor, he definitely has a plan in advance. Naturally, there is no need for him to worry too much.
Think of this. Heinze shook his head. He put aside his worries and focused on the strange device in front of him.
After watching for a while, Heinze seemed to see something.
"This... is very similar to the wind magic engine."
Xu Yi laughed, patted Heinze on the shoulder, and said loudly: "As expected of my old buddy, I recognized him at a glance. Yes, this is the latest developed fire magic engine!"
Heinze's eyes suddenly widened: "It's actually a fire magic engine? It... has it finally been successfully developed?"
"Yes!" Xu Yi laughed and said, "How is it? Are you feeling excited?"
Heinze nodded repeatedly.
This fire magic engine has been put into research and development more than three years ago, during which the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this effort. But there has been little progress.
As Xu Yi's oldest partner, Heinze knew very well how much Xu Yi valued this fire magic engine and how much effort Xu Yi put into it.
This has troubled Xu Yi for so long. It can be said that it is the most difficult research and development project so far since the establishment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Now it has finally been successfully developed. Although Heinze does not quite understand the specific meaning of this fire magic engine, he has Still very excited.
"Great! It finally worked!" Heinze nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, Xu Yi, you said before that with this fire magic engine, what will happen?"
Xu Yi couldn't help laughing and shook his head.
Heinze clearly didn't understand this thing at all, but he still showed such excitement, obviously because of him.
Xu Yi felt a touch of emotion in his heart. Stopping Heinze's shoulder, he pointed at the fire magic engine and explained: "Heinze. You should know that the top speed of the magic motorcycle currently developed by our chamber of commerce has never been able to exceed 60 kilometers per hour."
"Well... you said that this is because the wind magic engine has inherent limitations. Before there is a major breakthrough in mechanical performance, it is difficult to rely solely on the wind magic engine itself to break through this limitation in speed." Heinze said. "According to what you said, with this fire magic engine, the speed of the magic locomotive can exceed 60 kilometers per hour?"
Xu Yi laughed: "Not only can it exceed 60 kilometers per hour, but let me tell you, with this fire magic engine, the speed of the magic locomotive can even exceed 200 kilometers per hour!"
Heinze was stunned: "Two hundred kilometers? Is this too exaggerated?"
"No, no, no, this is not an exaggeration at all. Two hundred kilometers is already very slow. The goal in my mind is to break through at least four hundred kilometers! And as long as the fire magic engine continues to be developed and applied to the magic airship , it is not impossible for the magic airship to exceed a thousand kilometers per hour!"
Heinze shook his head: "You're talking nonsense. You can run a thousand kilometers in an hour. It's impossible even if you think about it."
Xu Yi smiled and winked at Canby.
Canby coughed slightly and said seriously: "Vice President Heinze, what the President said is true. According to our current data calculation results on the fire-type magic engine, in theory, it makes the fire-type magic engine equipped with It is possible for the magic engine’s magic mechanical speed to exceed one thousand kilometers per hour. Of course, this currently only exists in theory. To truly achieve this goal, a lot of research and practice are needed.”
Dwarves never like to tell lies. If Heinze still has doubts about what Xu Yi said, then even Kanby said the same, so he has no choice but to disbelieve it.
A thousand kilometers per hour? Just thinking about it made Heinze feel dizzy.
Even if it is only theoretically possible, this is incredible!
After thinking about it for a while, Heinze couldn't help but said to Xu Yi: "Don't say a thousand kilometers per hour, even if it is only the four hundred kilometers you said, is it too fast? Running from one end of the Lampali Kingdom to the other , it’s only a thousand kilometers. According to you, it only takes two hours to run from one end to the other, is it necessary?”
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Heinze, are you too small-minded? The Lampali Kingdom is only about a thousand kilometers from one end to the other, but the territories of the Kandela Empire and the Malo Empire are far more than That’s for sure.”
Heinze rolled his eyes at Xu Yi and thought to himself, it's not that my heart is too small, but that your heart is too big.
The Lampali Kingdom is just a small country on the continent of Sainz. How can it be compared with the two great empires of Candela Empire and Malo Empire
The scene when Xu Yi was recruited as a personal guard suddenly flashed through his mind. A terrible thought suddenly passed through Heinze's mind, and he couldn't help but gasp.
If Xu Yi really thinks so, then his heart is not only too big... it's just... just crazy! (To be continued...)
