At this time, some of the highways on the earth have become a ruin, but there are still a few highways that maintain their relatively intact state, because these highways are still in use, and every two or three years there will be people to maintain these highways to ensure their basic use status. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the territory of Yanhuang Kingdom, there is only one such highway, that is, Yanyu Expressway. As the name suggests, Yanyu Expressway is a highway connecting Yanjing City and Yuzhang City. The Yanyu Expressway is a new expressway that unites parts of several expressways before the Great Collapse. On the surface of this highway, it has been reinforced with dimensional crystal powder, so that ordinary yuan yuan can not cause damage to this highway.

This expressway is the only high-speed link between Yuzhang and Yanjing, and it takes about three days to reach Yanjing without incident. But this is not unexpected, in fact, in general, this time is extended to about five days, because this highway is a highway that needs to be repaired while walking.

Especially now, when Yuzhang City was surrounded, Yanyu Expressway was seriously damaged, nearly 45 kilometers of roads were completely destroyed, after 20 days of emergency repairs, the highway finally restored the basic smoothness, is the pre-installed and Yanjing City between the material contact once again smooth.

At this moment, on the Yanyu Expressway, there is a maglev train about 100 meters long that is moving at a constant speed. It looks like it's a train, but it's on the road. What's even more peculiar is that this train is not composed of one section, but is formed as a whole, like a car.

And this train is very wide, about eight meters wide, the outside of the vehicle is wrapped in a thick layer of very tight armor, and it looks like there are no windows, just like an armored car. Point you and I don't

This is the greatest invention in terms of transportation after the Great Apocalypse: the armored maglev train.

You may think that this is not very great, is it just to put a maglev device on an armored train? The armored train was eliminated before the big breakdown, okay?

The armored train was indeed eliminated before the Great Destruction, but the problem is that there was no such thing as Yuan Yan before the Great Destruction! After the great destruction, only the thick-skinned thing like the armored train could withstand the crazy attack of Yuan Yan.

According to the actual test, the latest armored maglev train can ignore the direct attack of the dragon level and below, and his armor can resist the attack of the underworld level Yuan Yuan for one hour, the attack of the Meteor Yuan Yuan for thirty minutes, and the attack of the Yu level Yuan Yuan for three minutes.

Therefore, the armored maglev train is also a relatively safe mobile fortress, and it is the preferred means of transportation for large-scale transportation of sword bearers and ordinary people.

Generally speaking, sword-wielders use their own maglev speeder to travel. The maglev car is fast, small in size, able to travel through a variety of complex terrain, and at the same time rely on its own speed to get rid of most of the Yuan's pursuit, and the most important thing is that it can be included in its own dimensional pocket, which is the preferred means of transportation for sword-wielders to travel on a small scale.

However, the maglev flying car consumes too much energy and the cost of long-distance driving is too high, so it may be the best choice for small-scale travel. But once it becomes a large-scale trip, or when it needs to transport a lot of extremely heavy objects, the maglev flying car is powerless, and at this time it has to rely on the armored levitation train.

This is also a truth before the big break, a large number of goods in long-distance transportation in the lowest cost is sea transportation, in the absence of the sea is the most economical train transportation, no one will drive their own car to others long-distance transportation.

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

It sounds a little scary, before the big breakdown, the standard load of a 60-car 1500-meter-long freight train was 3600 tons, even if it was overloaded, it would not exceed 4000 tons, and your 100-meter-long armored maglev train could actually hold millions of tons of cargo? Even if you can bear the weight, how can you pile up so many materials!

But in reality, an armored hovering train can indeed carry a million tons, because these materials are not placed directly on the train, but in dimensional iron boxes. A standard one-meter dimensional iron box has a space of 1,500 cubic meters, which is equivalent to expanding the space in the armored train by a full 1,500 times, and an armored train is equivalent to the load of 1,500 ordinary freight trains, how can it not hold millions of tons of materials!

Moreover, the production cost of the dimensional iron box is much lower than the production cost of the dimensional pocket, the resources of producing one dimensional pocket can produce ten dimensional iron boxes, and the space of a dimensional pocket is only 1/10 of the dimensional iron box. It's a pity that human technology still can't break through, and the size of the dimensional iron box is limited to one cubic meter in size, and it can't change shape at will like a dimensional pocket. This restricts the use of the Dimensional Iron Box to transportation, and it is impossible for the sword-wielder to carry such an obstructive thing.

Originally, the transportation line between Yuzhang City and Yanjing City would be once every three days, but since the Yueyang Fortress was breached, the transportation line between Yuzhang City and Yanjing City has not moved for a full sixty days, and some materials between the two cities have become extremely scarce.

In general, in addition to freight, armored hovertrains assume the role of passengers. Some sword-wielders who only want to go to Yanjing City with a clear purpose, or some sword-wielders with weak strength, and some ordinary people, will choose to take the armored hovering train to Yanjing City or Yuzhang City. They will occupy about 20 meters of space in the carriages of armored hovertrains, and this space of about 20 meters is also standard for armored hovertrains.

But this time there was something special, the space of the passenger compartment in the armored hovering train took up fifty meters. This means that a lot of space for precious and urgently needed materials is occupied, but there is no way to do it. Because this is the reopening of the armored suspension train after 40 days, no one knows what happened at the high speed in the past 60 days, and perhaps many high-speed roads have been destroyed by Yuan Yuan, and at that time, the armored suspension train will need to stop and repair the road.

When the armored hovering train stops, it is the most dangerous time for him, and the defense of the armored hovering train at this time is the lowest, and it is impossible to get rid of some slower yuanyuan, so a large number of sword-wielders are needed to protect the armored hovering train, so all the extra thirty meters of passenger space are used to transport these sword-wielders who protect the armored hovering train.

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

As mentioned a long time ago, the colleges of the eight base cities meet each other and hold a competition between the colleges every year. At the beginning, this was just to see how strong the eight bases were of the younger generation, so that there would be a spectrum in the hearts of the human high-level people, which was an absolutely benevolent thing.

But in the later stage, this matter gradually changed a little bit, and it became a competition between the eight base cities, competing for the potential of their own cities, competing for the future of their own cities, and even deciding the right to speak in the sword committees of the eight base cities in the general meeting of the sword committee.

As a result, this has become a competition that the eight base cities attach great importance to, and each base city will select its own most outstanding students to participate in the competition, striving for victory, and winning glory for its own base.

Originally, the August conference was supposed to start a month ago, but because of Yuzhang City, this conference was postponed for a month. This was already the grace of the General Assembly of the Sword Committee, so when the armored suspension train was reactivated, this group of delegations immediately set off and went to Yanjing City to participate in the Eighth Academy Conference.

This delegation was led by the dean of Yuzhang Academy, Tiger Roaring Sword Spirit, and there were a total of three students participating in the competition, namely Gu Han, Gu Luren, and a female sword bearer named Jin Yujia. It is said that this Jin Yujia was originally only the fifth candidate, but because the third and fourth candidates all died in the big invasion, Jin Yujia also rushed up.

In addition to Gu Han, Gu Yuren and Jin Yujia are both sword-level sword holders. Originally, Gu Han didn't want to participate in this competition, he just wanted to go to Yanjing City. Because it is a shameless thing for Gu Han to participate in the Eighth Academy Conference as a famous sword-level sword bearer, because most of the participants in the Eighth Academy Conference are sword-level sword holders, Gu Han is suspected of bullying the small by participating in such a competition.

But the Tiger Roar Sword Spirit insisted on it, because Yuzhang City had been downstream for many years, and the best result in the conference in the past ten years was only the third place, which made the Tiger Roar Sword Spirit's face very ugly, and many people laughed behind his back that he didn't know how to teach his disciples, although he didn't know how to teach his disciples in the first place.

For the sake of 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 Roaring Sword Spirit. The purpose of the Eighth Academy Conference is to test the strength of the young generation of the eight base cities and see which of the eight base cities has more potential.

Therefore, there is only one restriction requirement for the contestants, that is, the contestants are required to become sword bearers for less than a year, and there are no other restrictions, even if it is an emperor sword-level sword bearer, there is no problem, and there are many geniuses in history who participate in this competition as a famous sword-level sword bearer, Gu Han is not the first, don't worry at all.

Gu Han originally agreed to the Tiger Roar Sword Spirit to participate in the competition, but after the Tiger Roaring Sword Spirit insisted repeatedly, Gu Han no longer refused and agreed. (To be continued.) )
