Latest URL: When Hero's steam car crosses the starting line, a bright blue logo appears above Hero's steam car and hovers there, moving as the steam car moves.

The current status of the Hero car is marked in clear and clear text, such as name, speed, load, amount of water added, amount of carbon added, and so on.

And when Shiro started for about five minutes, the second car on display began to warm up under Dean's signal. Of course, during the process, key questions such as load were also asked.

After the warm-up was over, the second car also set off with a bang.

In this way, every five minutes or so, a participating car starts, and the appearance of each participating car will attract loud cheers and applause from the surrounding audience.

Xia Duo and Niya watched silently from the stands, and would exchange a few words with Layton from time to time, because the winners of these cars will become the public transportation in the territory, which is under Layton's management. If you have any questions, please ask them as soon as possible. can be resolved early.

There were no accidents in the participating vehicles at the starting stage, but there were not a few of them stopped due to breakdowns on the road. Of course, there are many reasons.

Some people see that other people can sit six people at a time, and worry about falling behind in the evaluation, they also propose a six-person load. If it is overloaded, it is easy to have accidents;

Some are purely mechanical failures, but more are due to road conditions.

In the previous preparation stage, these participating teams basically conducted vehicle testing in the floating city in order to use the alchemy circle to adjust the structure of the locomotive at any time.

The roads of the Floating Void City were integrally formed at the beginning of the construction of the Floating Void City. Although they have also undergone subsequent fine-tuning and reinforcement, it is not enough to deny that the road conditions of the Floating Void City are definitely far superior to the [Great Xia-Saville Passage].

[Big Xia-Saville Passage] The initial road conditions were also very good, but compared with the past dirt roads and earth-rock roads, in fact, this road is wide enough in Xia Duo’s eyes, but in terms of quality, Not even the country roads of his hometown.

Just leveling the forest, compacting it, and then paving the road bricks is complete. After two years of use, many road sections have experienced subsidence of the road surface, broken or missing road bricks, etc.

Although the territorial logistics department has been actively maintaining it, it is impossible to completely restore it to the original state, let alone Xia Duo explained in advance that there is no need for maintenance during this period.

The logistics department does not maintain it, but the carriages transporting goods between the two places will not stop, which makes the state of this road even more complicated.

In addition, the design of the steam car itself is a relatively difficult task for the participating teams at the current stage. Most of the steam cars are imitating the original version of Hero.

Floating Void City test run is sometimes difficult to hide from the eyes of other teams, but it is also difficult to understand the internal structure through one or two observations.

This makes the division between the various vehicles extremely exaggerated, almost all depending on the mechanical design talent of each team.

Well, it is close to being practical, and it has also made a relatively suitable plan for the improvement suggestions Xiaduo once proposed to Hiero—Hiro did not hide Xia Duo’s evaluation and opinions on the prototype car from other teams.

The worst ones couldn't even imitate the prototype cars. Of course, the worst ones had already given up the competition before the start of the exhibition stage, and the ones that could appear in the exhibition stage had at least reached a certain level.

…

Soon, when the last four or five cars were about to start, Shiro, who was the first to start, had already entered the final sprint stage before the finish line.

Although it was because he started first that he came back first, and he was not the fastest in the end, the onlookers couldn't care less, and any change on the field could cause them to cheer.

Not to mention that Hiro's steam car ran the entire journey without any accidents, and it ran safely and steadily, which brought him extremely high popularity.

Today, the literacy rate of the Daxia collar is not 100%, at least it is above 90%, not to mention that Dean, who was the host of the competition before the departure, also specially introduced the members of Hero's team.

At this moment, when Hiero successfully completed the game, almost everyone at the southern and northern ends of the [Big Xia-Saville Passage] was chanting Hiro's name.

Of course, the names of Boli and others in the Hero team also appeared in the cheers and shouts of the crowd, but compared with Hero who appeared as a driver, those voices were much less.

After Shiro came back, the vehicle was turned off and parked in the display area, and he himself went to the rest area with other teammates to celebrate in advance.

Of course, all this did not affect the continuation of the race, and the four or five vehicles that hadn't started still started in their respective order.

the stands.

Xia Duo turned around and asked Layton, "What do you think of this car?"

"It's a bit slower in speed. Although it's faster than a horse-drawn carriage, it can't carry as much weight as a horse-drawn carriage. It's not suitable for public use if there are only six people. I wonder how much this car costs?"

"The cost is the steel to make that car, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

"It's a bit high if you only count the steel. I think there is still room for improvement in this car."

There is still room for improvement. Another way of saying it is to lose the election. Both Layton and Xia Duo are concerned about the condition of the competition vehicles, but he cares more about the practicability of these vehicles, more precisely, to provide convenience for the current territory.

If it is possible, of course the Territorial Government Affairs Department will purchase it; if not, then the money will definitely not be wasted.

As he said, if only steel is counted, the cost is also very high. At present, there is no iron ore in the Great Xia Territory. After integrating with Savile, the iron ore in Savile Territory can be used.

But the problem is not calculated in this way. Originally, an iron mine only needs to be supplied to the Savile Territory, but now it also needs to be supplied to the Daxia Territory, which already has a larger population than the Savile Territory.

Considering that after the integration of the two places, all aspects need to implement the standards of the Daxia collar, and there are too many places where iron is used, which makes the iron and steel resources even more tense.

Even if there is foreign input, it will be difficult to satisfy the long-term development of the territory. Leiden is obviously unwilling to relax the standard in this regard. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"Then which car do you like more?" Xia Duo asked again.

"I prefer the one driven by Adolf!"

"The one Adolf drove?"

Layton talked about the car, and Xia Duo was very impressed, because Adolf's team had the most obvious changes to the prototype car, and everyone else made replicas or improvements on the basis of the prototype car.

Only Adolf's team almost overturned the design of the prototype car, placing the steam engine on an independent locomotive, followed by multiple carriages pulled by the locomotive, similar to the design of a train.

It's just that the design of this team focuses more on the car body structure, rather than the core steam engine and transmission device, which makes their car, although it has the largest load-three carriages are hung, and eight people are installed in each carriage.

But the speed is also the slowest, not much faster than walking. This is a perfect replica of the Hero version of the prototype car. Many cars starting behind Adolf have already passed him.
