We have steam engines and carriages, so wouldn’t combining them be…
– [Extra 7/10]_3 “Aren’t you the best ‘angel investor’ I can find right now?” Murphy said.
“Oh, was it Half Hanging Brother’s suggestion?
No wonder then.”
ow Bunny nodded understandingly.
Being naturally cautious, he took the blueprint that Vomit Mud Sauce handed over and looked it over, then frowned and said,
“I’m not a vehicle expert, but your truck design is quite different from any vehicle I’ve imagined!
Why does it have such a huge chimney, and does it need coal added while driving?”
“Yes, it actually works on the sa principle as a steam locomotive.”
Vomit Mud Sauce stepped forward to explain to ow Bunny:
“Look, I’ve put a high-power boiler in place of the engine.
Although the thermal efficiency of steam engines is far worse than internal combustion engines on our side, over here, thanks to the magical Pyrogold Catalyst, steam engine thermal efficiency has made a qualitative leap.
It can even rival the power of the third generation of internal combustion engines.
And don’t be fooled by its unreliable appearance; in actuality, I have specifically consulted professionals.
Count Shuren assured that Half-body n have been using steam engines for hundreds of years with very few serious explosion incidents.
The properties of Burning Gold are truly amazing!
Not only can it serve as a catalyst to enhance the efficiency of steam engines, but it can also stabilize the high temperature and pressure inside to prevent violent reactions.
In short, I haven’t casually poached a picture from the internet to scam investors—you can trust , I put my heart into this design.
Although it’s different from the trucks we’re used to and indeed looks a bit odd, I’m confident that as soon as it goes into production, your village won’t have to worry about transportation anymore.
We’re aiming to develop a modern logistics industry, right?
You wouldn’t want your villagers to keep delivering parcels and mail by donkey cart, would you?”
Pink Kitty Bunny didn’t answer right away.
He carefully looked over the design blueprint and the very detailed business plan, and after several minutes, he put down the business plan, looked at Vomit Mud Sauce, and said,
“But you’ve deliberately avoided the most important issue, Vomit Mud Sauce my friend.
Where will the steam engine co from?
Transylvania’s current industrial level can’t produce this.
You see, I’ve done my research before deciding to venture into the postal and logistics industry.
If you want to mass-produce trucks, you need to find a supplier who can provide you with steam engines steadily, either from the Cape Family in the Golden Flower Kingdom or the Half-body n on the Ligurian Peninsula.
Both options share sothing in common: they are distant and expensive!
According to your plan, the profit margin for each vehicle is going to be squeezed to the limit, basically aning no profit, and if a business isn’t making money, it’ll just keep losing.
I guess before coming to , you must have applied for entrepreneurship funding from the administration office but were rejected by Governor Milian, right?
Look!
The NPCs here are really smart.
Problems I can see, they can see too.”
ow Bunny shook his head and said,
“If you can’t solve this problem, then all your wonderful plans will remain only on paper.
Believe , I desire new vehicles more than anyone else, but that’s not a reason to frivolously spend the first pot of gold I’ve managed to save up.
If you want to invest in you, you need to co up with a concrete solution.”
“I could make one by hand!” Vomit Mud Sauce bit his lip and continued,
“We won’t follow the Half-body n’s standards.
I’ve seen the steam engines the Cape Family sent to the arsenal, and they’re overly complicated.
We’ll use our own mature designs and modify them with placents for the Pyrogold Catalyst…
Alright, truth be told, Bunny Bro.
I’ve invited several engineers from our factory to co over for ‘big things,’ and they’ve all filled out the test applications, but our ‘Transylvania Winter Wind Vehicle Factory’ now needs starting capital.”
“!”
ow Bunny was startled and whispered back reflexively:
“Isn’t your factory a state-owned one?
Won’t this cause trouble for you?”
“No, it won’t.
It’s just a bit of fun in our spare ti.
Besides, even if we brought those blueprints here, the Half-body n wouldn’t be able to produce such precision work.
The machining accuracy is just too far off.
Those are specialized vehicles.”
Vomit Mud Sauce waved his hand dismissively.
He then gave ow Bunny the full details.
Without further hesitation, the latter pulled open a drawer, took out a black Psychic package, and placed it in front of Vomit Mud Sauce, saying,
“I can’t use the village’s public funds; that’s reserved for road construction and building hotels later.
This is my personal sponsorship—let’s sign a contract.
Once your Winter Wind Vehicle Factory finalizes the design and manufacture of the trucks, you must sell them to us at a preferential price first.”
“But war is upon us,” Vomit Mud Sauce comnted with so distress.
“I reckon once the war starts, our production capacity, no matter how much, will have to be diverted to military use.”
“That’s an unexpected situation I can accept,” ow Bunny said, squinting and smiling.
“If Transylvania no longer exists, what good is all the money we earn?
I don’t think Lupa or King Louis will treat us losers and refugees kindly.
I don’t want to be a slave to a dead nation or be ridiculed as a holess exile.
Therefore, I suggest you lean slightly towards military use when designing the vehicles.
So if I were you, I wouldn’t apply for funding from the administration; I’d go straight to Lord Maxim and seek military orders to secure enough R&D funds.
dieval steampunk motorized infantry, tsk tsk, sounds quite appealing, right?
However, Lord Maxim is a very stubborn man; if you want to convince him, you first need to produce sothing tangible.
Trust , this is the path vehicle engineers like you should take.”
Murphy, hiding on the rooftop, found the advice Pink Kitty Bunny was giving to Vomit Mud Sauce below fairly amusing.
There really were hidden dragons and crouching tigers among his own little players…
Speaking of which, a secret report he received from Adel indicated that five collective farm village heads seed to be getting linked together to form a political group.
He initially thought it was Old Huo making moves behind the scenes, but it appears that the real “mastermind” is you, the low-key village head of the Village of the Pride of the Lion King, right?
Good!
Ambitious!
Spirited!
Want to be the second Governor of Transylvania?
No problem!
The position is there, perform well, strive hard.
Murphy silently grinned and dived into the night sky, flapping his wings as he looked back at the brightly lit office below.
“I’ve got my eye on you, keep it up, my Otherworldly Warriors!”
