August, 2529, New Calendar.

The weather was hot in the afternoon, and the spacious and bright workshop was even more stuffy. Even if there was a large steam-powered fan that kept blowing the air, it still made people sweat.

In the crowd, Rennes was wearing a loose and light shirt, which had been wet with sweat.

Akaland beside him was sweating and sweating.

The two of them stood in the open space in the workshop, surrounded by several subordinates wearing management uniforms, and everyone was staring at the production line. A brand new motorcycle had just been assembled and was passing a series of tests and could be officially released soon.

Akaland's eyes could not hide the look of expectation.

Rennes was calm.

Motorcycles are new to others, but in his eyes, they are very familiar.

More than five months ago, based on his memories and experience in his previous life, combined with the mechanical technology of this world, he explored the revitalized metal for half a month, and completed the prototype of the first steam motorcycle.

The car was rough and had a very simple shape, but he fell in love with it at first sight when he handed it to Akaland.

The difficulty of steam motorcycles is not technology, but creativity.

After Akaland got the prototype, he improved with Rennes for two weeks. He thought that the motorcycle must have sales, so he immediately decided to invest in production.

Selecting a land, building a factory, setting up a production line, and recruiting workers... Akaland originally owns an automobile manufacturing plant and is very familiar with this process. He is the vice president of the Machinery Union. He has rich connections and experience. It took less than five months to build a brand new factory and start construction smoothly.

This motorcycle factory is located in Glamorgan, and the factory site was personally selected by Rennes.

He obtained 40% of the factory's shares with the value of this land and original technology. Akaland provides manpower and management team, and is responsible for the early capital investment, and also has 40% of the shares.

The remaining 20% ​​belongs to the mechanical union.

In the empire, any company that has something to do with mechanical technology and requires mechanics to participate in production must more or less cooperate with the mechanical union.

The more you rely on technology, the more shares you hand over to the mechanical union.

This is also the reason why the mechanical union is so rich.

"Vice President, the test has been completed, the quality of this car is fine." A mechanic in charge of factory testing shouted excitedly.

Beside him, a dark motorcycle parked on the ground.

Renn observed carefully that the body length was about two and a half meters, and the front and rear rubber wheels were similar to those of the motorcycles in his previous life. The most significant difference was in the engine part.

Because it is powered by steam, the engine is replaced with a steam engine, but it is not a pure steam engine. Instead, it combines rune technology to improve combustion efficiency and output power and reduce volume.

This rune steam engine was not invented by Rennes. It has been promoted for many years and is used in many machinery, such as cars, steam trains, and airships.

Puppets made by mechanics are generally driven by rune steam engines.

The rune steam engine also fuels coal, but not the kind of coal on earth.

There are big differences between the two.

It was also dug out from the ground, with a huge output and a very wide use. Its name is translated as "ash coal". It is much harder than coal, has a crystal structure, is more resistant to burning, and can release more heat, and its calorific value is almost as good as gasoline.

Moreover, the residual residue produced by the combustion of ash coal is very small, such as fine ash, and the residual harm is also very low.

The gas extracted from it is also very resistant to burning.

Rennes has been traveling to Alan Ershi for almost a year, often burning coal to drive steam engines, and has not yet figured out the composition of ash coal.

He speculated that ash coals should contain fire elements, so they are so strange.

"I'll try it."

Akaland couldn't wait to ride the motorcycle and twist the handlebars to start.

Suddenly, the runes on the steam engine lit up red light, instantly generating a large amount of heat, igniting the ash coals inside the combustion chamber. The hot high temperature boiled the water in just a few seconds, and the steam pushed the piston. After a few strokes, the EMU was transmitted to the tire through the chain, making it rotate.

Puff puff puff...

The smoke exhaust pipe underneath sprayed white steam backwards, and the motorcycle immediately drove forward.

Akaland retracted his foot back to the pedal, drove a motorcycle around the open space in the workshop, and gradually adapted after a few rounds, so he increased his horsepower and drove out of the workshop.

A moment later, Akaland came back on a motorcycle, got off the car reluctantly, and said with a smile: "Ren, do you want to feel it too?"

"No need, there will be opportunities in the future."

Renne shook his head and refused.

He used to go to work in the library, and he rode his beloved little electric donkey every day, coming and going in the wind and rain, and he was so eager to vomit.

The worst thing is that the battery was stolen three times!

The steam motorcycle is slightly faster than the electric donkey, but the comfort is far less than that, the vibration is quite large, and the steam engine has a loud voice when it is running, so he doesn't want to suffer this.

There is still a lot of room for improvement at present.

But this is not the turn for me to worry about it. It’s enough to have the legendary mechanic Akaland, and he didn’t plan to interfere in the management of the motorcycle factory.

In fact, Akaland is only responsible for researching and developing technology, and handing over management and sales to others.

This situation is extremely common in empires.

Everyone in a company or factory is generally extraordinary. They are busy practicing or enjoying life and rarely participate in business management in person.

There are a group of professional ordinary people doing these matters, similar to professional managers in their previous lives.

Alan Ershi is a world where the strong are supreme. No matter how high the management talent of ordinary people is, it is impossible to overturn the rule of the extraordinary.

The extraordinary can give up power with peace of mind.

Even if there are occasional mistakes and loopholes, once you notice them, it is easy for ordinary people to vomit out all their capital and interests.

Seeing that Renne had no intention of testing the car, Akaland nodded and said, "I know you are leaving Modu soon. Wait for you to come back and try it out when you have time. Let's go, I'll send it out."

Outside the workshop, there was already a car waiting.

Renn sat in the back row and was about to say goodbye, Akaland suddenly said, "By the way, the steam motorcycle has been produced, we have not given it a name yet. There is no name, which is inconvenient for sale. You are the inventor, so the power to narrate will be handed over to you."

"Uh..." Renn thought for a moment and said with a smile: "That's called 'Mercedes-Benz'. By the way, design a car logo for it to improve recognition."

As he said that, he reached out and drew a steering wheel-shaped symbol in the air.

"This name is good!"

Akaland clapped his hands and immediately agreed: "The meaning is good, and it's easy to scream. Our product will be Mercedes-Benz motorcycles in the future!"

"Haha...got goodbye."

Renn laughed inexplicably and told the driver to drive.

After a while, the car drove into the airship take-off and landing field and stopped at one of the berths. Renn got off the car and saw an airship parked in front of him. Outside the hatch, two fully armed extreme warriors, one on the left and one on the right, like two statues guarding there.

"Boss!" the extreme warrior shouted in unison.

"Yes." Renn responded, ordering: "Notify Sikalius and let the captain take off, and we will set off right away."

"yes!"

The voices of the two extreme warriors were filled with excitement.

Rennes walked onto the deck of the airship, and a few minutes later, the airship under his feet slowly climbed up, getting higher and higher from the ground, flying towards the west.

He was preparing to fly over the empire, enter the Sion Plateau, and head to the hometown of the Makuragians!
Chapter completed!
