The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 353 The world has changed
After all, the elves in Cattail City account for less than a quarter of the total population, and they are the smallest of the four tribes in Cattail City.

This thing is rear-wheel drive, because Feng Yu plans to modify the existing diesel jeep into two civilian versions, namely a jeep and a pickup truck, and sell them to users with different needs.

As for why they don't use sedans, it's because the short people can basically not see the road when sitting in a low sedan, and there are not many elves in Cattail City.

Feng Yu was also very helpless about this, as he really couldn't afford the height loss of a short person.

In addition, there are not so many idle people in Xiangpu City to design various car models, so they can only make do with one set of chassis.

However, civilian cars do not use diesel engines, but gasoline engines. This is because diesel and gasoline are produced together when oil is refined. It is impossible to only produce diesel without producing gasoline.

So in order to consume the excess gasoline, Feng Yu plans to sell civilian gasoline cars to the public.

Another reason is to provide the residents of Cattail City, especially the farmers, with a convenient means of transportation to improve transportation efficiency.

If there is any danger in future plane wars, having more vehicles in the civilian population will also make it easier for rural residents to evacuate.

"This is a large-scale exercise test. Isn't it a little early?"

"There's no other way. We'll try to find the problem during the test. The weapon operators on the tanks are all experienced soldiers who are familiar with all kinds of weapons. There's no danger.

This will also help them adapt to armored warfare as quickly as possible. We don’t have much time to wait for the soldiers to slowly adapt.”

Feng Yu said as he picked up the radio that he had just equipped and gave the order to start the exercise.

With the development of electron tube technology in Cattail City, combined with battery technology and small generator technology, car-mounted shortwave radio stations were also developed.

In order to facilitate coordination and communication between vehicles, this new communication method is installed on tracked armored vehicles.

As new warships and airships are equipped with internal combustion engines, radio stations will replace most telegraphs and become the new communication method for the Cattail City Iron Army.

Just when the Elf King was still confused about what Feng Yu and Demps were talking about, he heard the soldier holding the telescope on the observation deck say, "Here they come."

A warrior handed the Elf King a telescope, and everyone looked towards the smoke and dust in the distance.

"What...is that?" the Elf King said in surprise.

In his sight, the machine wrapped tightly in iron armor was moving quickly towards the observation platform.

"No matter how many times I see it, I'm always shocked by the sight of this thing running on its tracks," Demps said slowly.

"The tracks are a really good design. They're more reliable than thin pneumatic tires," said Nitia.

Feng Yu said: "In fact, if the technical conditions allow, tires are better. After all, the speed of tracks is limited, and they are not as light and agile as tires.

But overall, our tanks will probably have to rely on tracks in the short term. By the way, Uncle Xingjin, how is the anti-magic test you and Nitia are doing?"

"Almost. Nitia suggested using a magic-resistant interlayer, the composite armor route you mentioned, but I think it would be simpler and more effective to just use magic-resistant metal."

Feng Yu said helplessly: "The production of magic-resistant metal is limited, and this kind of thing is a precious resource everywhere. The Brocade Empire has quite a lot, but they are all reserved for making that special shield. How can they sell it to us?"

Demps said: "I know where it is, but it's too far away from us."

"How far is it? Beyond the range of the internal combustion engine Dalikun?"

“Not really, but almost.

The southern part of the Frostwind Grassland is a group of meteorite mountains where monsters roam freely, and the northern part is a frozen tundra where ice monsters roam freely and a sea of ​​ice. Do you know how the orcs survive there?"

Feng Yu immediately reacted and said, "Relying on magic resistance metal?"

“Yes, they have a lot of magic-resistant metal there, but it’s not adamantium, it’s magic-hating iron.

The orc warriors do not know magic and are not proficient in archery. They rely on simple armor made of magic-averse iron to fight and hunt the monsters that are rampant there.

The strong physiques of the orc warriors are probably due to their long-term consumption of monster meat."

“Holy crap, are dietary supplements so awesome?” Feng Yu was shocked.

“That’s not surprising, but don’t think that hunting monsters is easy, otherwise the orcs would have gotten up long ago and would not have been trapped in that bitter cold land.

The magical beasts and the harsh living environment limited the number of orcs. In addition, the Meteorite Mountains restricted their steps and they were unable to move south.

However, over the years, the orcs living in the Cold Wind Grassland have grown a lot stronger.

After crossing the mountains composed of snow-capped peaks in the northern part of the Long Moon Forest and arriving at the eastern part of the Cold Wind Grassland, you can already see the figures of orcs.

They were not able to move southward, but they did develop a lot eastward.”

Feng Yu didn't feel anything after hearing this, but the Elf King next to him was sweating coldly.

If the orcs follow the Cold Wind Steppe, pass the north of the Misty Moon Forest, and then head east, they will reach the plateau and hilly area north of the great desert.

There are no towering snow-capped mountains with snow all year round. The cold grassland there merges with the hilly plateau. To the south of there is the vast desert.

The reason why the Elf King had cold sweat on his forehead was because that was the destination where the elves planned to retreat eastward.

In other words, if the elves really retreated there, they might unexpectedly encounter the orcs heading eastward.

"Teacher, this...why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

Demps said calmly: "What is there to say? Anthony and I are not dead yet. Even if we encounter orcs, what can they do to us?!

The real danger there is not the orcs, but if the passage to the hell plane is opened in the volcanic belt in the east of the Green Continent, then the plateau corridor starting from the north of the volcanic belt will become the best choice for ordinary creatures in the abyss who cannot survive in the volcanic belt to move eastward.

Even creatures from the hell plane cannot cross the desert and enter the wilderness, but the plateau corridor in the north has streams from melted snow mountains and animal habitats consisting of grasslands and forests, which are the source of food.

Therefore, the northern plateau corridor is the only place where the hell creatures that may appear in the volcanic belt can go. "

The Elf King was stunned for a while before he muttered, "Why didn't you say that earlier?"

Demps sighed and whispered, “Infernal creatures and humans, we elves always had to make a choice in the past, I understand your intention.

But Minai, things have changed now."

As he spoke, Dempsey pointed to the armored vehicle heading towards the observation deck.
