Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Magic-Tech Vehicles Complete

Wild Mage was also quite moved.

However, his personality meant he wouldn’t stay excited for too long, especially since they hadn’t actually achieved results yet.

What if that material didn’t work out?

Or what if that thing couldn’t be bred on a large scale?

If it was the latter, they could still figure out a solution. If it was the former, they’d be celebrating for nothing.

"No matter what, we should assemble a magic-tech vehicle before Dragon Delivery arrives. When the dragon brings that material over, we’ll use magic to directly condense a tire as fast as possible and run tests."

"You’re right. I’ll go find Magneto right now. We’ll need his help with this. Otherwise, by the time Dragon Delivery gets here, we might not even be able to assemble it."

After Wild Mage reminded him, Apprentice sobered up a bit too.

"I’ll come with you."

The two soon went to find Magneto together.

Coming along with them were over a dozen R&D personnel and about a hundred technical specialists. During this time, while the two of them had been conducting experiments, they’d also been constantly training talent.

If they didn’t have enough talented people, what would be the point of all the technology they developed?!

It always needed to be passed down, needed more people doing R&D, and they needed to turn some things into mass-produced products. All of this required more intellectual talent—the people they’d been training.

Some of them were magicians who’d mastered magic, while others hadn’t. But with various tools, in labs and workshops, they could still accomplish roughly the same things.

The technical specialists who’d been called over quickly learned about this exciting news and immediately began the final assembly together.

Tires were the last problem holding them back. As long as they could solve it, they could instantly launch several different magic-tech vehicles with different functions and power levels.

"A material suspected to be suitable for tires will arrive soon. Dragon Delivery is already on the way. My thinking is, we directly produce one prototype of each different magic-tech vehicle model. When the material arrives, we’ll directly begin final assembly, then take them on the road for testing."

At Wild Mage’s command, everyone worked with the little magnetites to quickly assemble mechanical parts.

Gears, levers, magic power engines, Float runes, energy storage runes...

Hundreds and thousands of mechanical structures and magic runes were integrated into small magic-tech vehicles, working together in perfect harmony.

Theoretically, after being transmitted through a series of mechanical structures, the original power was amplified at least dozens of times.

If they could solve the tire problem, one charge could easily let them run five hundred kilometers or more, maybe even further.

Vehicles similar to sedans appeared, vehicles similar to pickups appeared, vehicles similar to semi-trailer trucks appeared...

All kinds of vehicles designed for different scenarios were manufactured by them.

Looking at these machines one by one, Wild Mage’s eyes burned with passion, as if he were admiring some peerless beautiful scenery.

Honestly, if they’d thrown these vehicles out there not long ago, lots of people would’ve definitely said, "What is this ugly thing? What kind of monster is this? Will this thing eat people?"

But throwing them out now, anyone who’d been exposed to the Magic Net would definitely say, "Oh my god, is this a product of Roster’s territory’s magic-tech industry? It’s absolutely beautiful! I just can’t fully appreciate it."

Never mind anything else—just those gears and levers not completely covered by the mechanical shell gave off a vibe that said "don’t mess with me."

Like some kind of monster.

If Viscount Roster were here, he’d definitely raise questions about this point. Unfortunately, at this moment, Viscount Roster was still in the Southern territories clearing land and farming, and raising pigs on the side. He didn’t have the time or energy to question these researchers whose heads were filled with weird stuff.

Simple tests showed all mechanical structures could operate normally. It was just that without proper tires, they couldn’t travel normally on most terrains. The vibration was extremely intense, and the mechanical structures’ lifespan was very short...

Tires, tires—they’d become the most critical thing!

As time passed, Wild Mage felt his heart pounding. This was the closest he’d felt to success recently... He really hoped it wouldn’t fail!

If he was like this, the other researchers were naturally even more excited.

The next day at noon.

A green dragon broke through the sky and arrived directly at Roster’s territory.

This dragon apparently wasn’t delivering to Roster’s territory for the first time. He didn’t fly directly to the castle like he would in other areas, but instead headed straight to a very strange-looking building near the outskirts.

Wild Mage had been waiting there for a long time.

After a simple handoff, the dragon left, and that worm-like creature was put down.

Lava General hadn’t chosen cash on delivery—he’d already paid the shipping fee.

Wild Mage didn’t worry about it too much either.

When opening the box, about a hundred specialists crowded around.

"Hiss—this is the tire material?"

"This monster looks kind of gross!"

"No eyes, almost pure white, such a big mouth, all teeth inside—it even feels like it’s all teeth down to its stomach. What kind of monster is this?"

"Huh? This material underneath looks kind of interesting. Looks like it formed from slime that flowed out of this creature after some water evaporated. This must be what Lava General was talking about, right?"

If it were ordinary people, they’d have been scared away by this monster already—at the very least, they definitely wouldn’t dare get close. But these technical specialists mostly just complained a couple times, and then some were already reaching out to touch it.

Their desire for knowledge made their yearning for this little monster exceed their fear and disgust.

Soon, their desire for knowledge turned into excitement.

In just twenty minutes.

A video appeared in the Church of Technology group chat.

"@Viscount Roster @Lava General Confirmed—the material works. We made it into tires and installed them on several different magic-tech vehicles. The results are all good. Next we’ll research this material’s service life, usage time, usage limits, or whether combining it with other materials can optimize it."

Wild Mage quickly explained the current situation.

And in the video, the different types of vehicles they’d just manufactured were all running on the empty ground around the lab. Faintly, cheering could be heard continuously in the background.

Before others could reply, Wild Mage quickly typed out another line: "@Lava General No matter what the experimental results are going forward, this material is the most suitable material we can find right now. So definitely don’t eliminate them all—preserve some if possible. We can try large-scale artificial breeding."
