Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

"The General Affairs Department has posted a new notice."

"What's the news?"

"The General Affairs Department will make a single purchase. The amount of this purchase is unprecedented, a full 1 trillion Mora, and that purchase sounds like a fantasy."

“What is so magical about purchasing?”

"Purchase a vehicle that can reach the Liyue Port passenger terminal from the Shimen border within 11 hours. It must carry at least 2000 people or 1000 tons of supplies at a time. It must be able to carry both people and supplies, and it must be responsible for maintenance for at least 30 years."

"Did you say two extra zeros? How could such a vehicle exist?"

"This speed alone is not something that everyone can achieve. Even if a person with the Wind Attribute Eye uses the wind element to ride a bicycle to the limit, it can only reach about 130 kilometers per hour, and he can't keep it up for too long.

Pulling 1000 tons of cargo, running nearly 11 kilometers in 1000 hours, at a speed of almost 100 kilometers per hour. Is this a dream? "

"Anchor teleportation plus a large space ring can achieve this requirement. But what about the people? 2000 people. Our Liyue carriage can hardly accommodate 20 people."

"It's a one trillion Mora business!"

Some companies in Liyue Harbor also put together more than a dozen carriages to try, but the result was still not up to the requirements. As time passed, only Xuanyuan Company submitted a bid.

This also attracted widespread attention from merchants in Liyue Harbor. After all, with this amount of cargo, their own people and goods could reach the border between Liyue and Mondstadt in one day.

"Isn't that Master Xuan still lying on the floor of the bus station pretending to be dead?"

"I think he had planned this a long time ago."

"It should be the train station in the planning map of the General Affairs Department, right? So, it was planned two years ago? Is it just released this time to go through the process?"

"Then we'll have to wait and see. Everything produced by Xuanyuan Trading Company is durable and good quality. This time it will be maintained for 30 years, so the usage time is really not short."

The new bidding has sparked heated discussions throughout Liyue, and countless people are looking forward to it.

Chapter 41: Treasure Stealing Team Strategy

Three months passed in a flash, and Lin Zixuan was being punished by being grilled on the ground. Although using the elemental power in the body to form an internal circulation would not lead to the ugly appearance of having his pants ripped, the hot summer was really hard to endure!

A bunch of historians, emperor scholars and other academics were studying the ridge. There were also many people checking in and taking photos. This dark history of mine would probably be passed down for ten thousand years.

The people of Liyue Harbor finally saw the mass-produced version of the Sailing Excavator. In the past few years, Ningguang has also helped collect a lot of Ruins Guardian Cores, so mass production of 2000 units is not a problem.

"This shovelful of water is equivalent to an ordinary person digging for half an hour, right?"

"It's true. Those crab diggers in Liyue Harbor only made a hole this big after half an hour of fiddling with it. This thing can be solved with just one shovel."

“Is there any channel to sell this thing?”

"It would take Lord Ningguang from Tianquan Star to sell it to me! It's called the 'Qihang' excavator, with dual-core power. It can run continuously for about 6 hours. You can just leave it aside and wait for 8 hours before it can continue working."

“Isn’t waiting eight hours too long?”

"This Qihang excavator did the work of 6 people in 100 hours. The most important thing is how much is the daily wage for 1 people? 100 Mora per person, and the daily expenditure is million Mora.

There is no other expense except maintenance costs for this excavator. All products made by Xuanyuan Trading Company are very durable. I think if I buy it, it will be no problem to drive it for five years. "

"Isn't there also the operator's expense? Look, there are about 10 operating handles and a bunch of buttons. An average person would be confused if they sat on it, right?"

"Why do I feel like he's the ruins guard I've seen before?"

"It should be a remodeled Ruin Guard. Xuanyuan Trading Company and Ningguang have collected a lot of Ruin Guard cores before. Now, Ruin Guards are basically unavailable in Liyue. We can only look for them in those dangerous ruins and secret realms."

"In fact, it's useless even if we find it. Just researching, developing and manufacturing it, even if it's just a copy, it may take seven or eight years to succeed."

"Damn it, I want it so badly! A man should drive an excavator!"

......

Liyue Harbor once again saw the strength of Tianquan Xing Ningguang and Xuanyuan Trading Company. Some old people were sighing that Liyue Harbor had changed so much in recent years. It had not changed for hundreds of years before, making it difficult for these old people to adapt.

At night, Ningguang came to the bus station again.

"I've already found someone for the matter you mentioned."

"That's good. Xuanyuan Trading Company will bear the losses caused."

“Why should we do it?”

"If we do it, we can limit the damage. If they do it, what kind of damage do you think it will cause to Liyue Port? That's 2000 people, plus 2000 families, and hundreds of important members of the Chamber of Commerce. If we transport goods, that's at least 3000 tons of supplies."

"You always like to do something big."

"Are these things good or bad for Liyue? Since the Emperor doesn't allow me to carry out the massacre, I can only plan this way."

"Okay! Then proceed according to the plan."

"How is the situation over there, Emperor?"

"It seems he is not in Liyue Harbor. He has not been seen for three months since the day you mentioned the 'Feast of Immortals'."

"I guess he went to explore the caves of his old friends who died in the battle. I hope he won't be too sad!"

"Something big will happen after that. The emperor's wrath is not something these mortals can withstand."

"In fact, the same goes for you. As the richest woman in Liyue Harbor, you will probably be dug up within two days of being buried. Maybe some pervert will take your body out and do something unspeakable to it."

"You... humph..." Ningguang walked away angrily.

Lin Zixuan couldn't help but think, it's clear that they are a group of robbers, tomb robbers, and extortionists, but they are labeled as a treasure-stealing group, which means they are innocent? Just like in a certain country on Blue Star, if you rob a store of 100,000 yuan with a gun, you are not guilty even if you are caught, after all, you are poor!

This is ridiculous! According to this theory, no one needs to engage in production, let alone business. Just trade without any cost, you rob me, I rob you. Liyue must not become like that, and organizations like the Treasure Stealers must be completely eliminated.

Liyue has been blessed with good weather and abundant resources for thousands of years. Basically, anyone who knows some hunting and fishing skills will not starve to death. It is still the word "greed" that makes these people obsessed with profit.

......

A large amount of gravel ballast has been laid 100 meters away from the cement road. Two excavators are towing a huge iron roller to flatten the gravel. Two rock elemental God's Eyes are following behind to check whether the solidity has met the standards.

The people in Liyue Harbor were confused.

"This gravel road can transport 2000 tons of supplies? Why do I feel that it is not even as good as the cement road?"

"Yes, look at that big iron wheel, I estimate it weighs 30 tons, and it's pressing the gravel back and forth. It's pressing the gravel underneath and piling up a lot of gravel on top.

It hurts your feet to push a bicycle on this gravel, not to mention riding it.”

"Is Xuanyuan Trading Company trying to make money in a dishonest way? This road is even worse than the bluestone road. How can we get there?"

Many people were paying attention to this road worth one trillion yuan, including many foreign chambers of commerce. They all watched the excitement and did not mind the big deal. A few days later, there was new news.

"Breaking news, two new railway tracks have been laid in Mingyun Town!!!"

"Give me the newspaper, let me have a look."

"Isn't this the track used by the minecarts in the Stratum Chasm?"

"Yes, although there are some differences, it is the same mine cart track. I remember that the sleepers were made of wood, and the top was also made of wood, with a thin iron sheet covering the outer shell."

"When Black Rock Factory and those companies made this thing, they lost a lot of money. And now the sleepers and tracks are in disrepair and have sunk into the mud."

"That thing is easy to use when going downhill, but it takes seven or eight people to pull it uphill. This train, won't it take dozens of horses to pull it?"

"The horses will get tired, and they can't run more than 100 kilometers per hour, right?"

"I always feel that things are not that simple. That Master Xuan will definitely not come up with useless garbage."

Time has entered September.

An unknown incident occurred in the Abyss, and the Seven Stars joined forces to seal the mines of the Abyss. As a result, the miners could only wander around the periphery of the Abyss. Some brave miners knew the secret passage, but after entering, they never came out again.

This incident also caused panic among the people of Liyue Harbor. After all, Liyue Harbor is relatively close to the Chasm.

Later, a newspaper interviewed Tianquan Xing Ningguang and learned that the seal had been reinforced and that Lin Zixuan would be in charge of it next year. Everyone was relieved. Although he was suppressed by the Rock King Emperor, his strength was obvious to all.

It's the end of October.

In the cool autumn weather, many people in Liyue Harbor have already switched to speed bikes, and the second-hand bike business has become a hot industry. These cheap second-hand Xuanyuan brand bicycles are refurbished and sold throughout the Teyvat continent.

The most exciting news is that the railway will soon be laid to the train station in Liyue Harbor. On that day, tens of thousands of people went to watch the laying of the railway. People gathered around the laid railway, knocking here and touching there.

"I was shocked to see this. How much iron was used?"

"Currently, it is 406 kilometers long, with four tracks in a group of two. The amount of iron used is simply an astronomical figure, right?"

"Not only that, look at the supporting cement pillows below, I can sense a large number of iron bars inside." A rock-attributed god's eye also felt it was such a luxury.

"hiss....."

"This is a one trillion dollar project, and less than half of it has been built so far. If the entire line is completed, how much iron will be used?"

"I knocked on it and it felt like it was unusually hard."

"Are these the new ingredients from Xuanyuan Trading Company? If I bring one back, I think I can sell it for quite a bit of money, right?"

"Don't try to commit suicide. The General Affairs Department has already issued laws regarding trains and railroad tracks. This is not a sentence for petty theft. Even if you ask that lawless outlaw Yan Fei to help you, it will be useless. We will directly go to the military court and punish you for multiple crimes. Don't even think about getting out in the future."

"This is no longer a technical issue, it's a kind of artistic beauty! Look at this straight rail, so neat and tidy, it's a blessing for those of us with obsessive-compulsive disorder."

"Then the question is, how do you pull 2000 tons of cargo at 100 kilometers per hour?"

"..."

No one in the crowd could answer the question. After all, in their perception, such a thing did not exist at all.

Early November.

Because the railway from Wangshu Inn to Liyue Port has been completed. Tianquan Star Ningguang is preparing to cut the ribbon for the opening ceremony on November 11. However, the people of Liyue Port are full of questions. Where is the train? Where is the train? Are they still playing secrets at this time?

At night, Ningguang came to the Liyue Port Bus Terminal Square again.

"The plan will be carried out tomorrow. Is everything arranged?" Lin Zixuan asked.

"Well, everything is ready. This is really a waste!"

"It's not a waste. This is the first version and we're going to dismantle it and put it back into production. The official version has been prepared long ago. It's just a waste of manpower.

After this incident, the secretly prepared missions are the most important. I want the treasure-stealing group to be like rats crossing the street in Liyue, everyone shouting and beating them, wishing to eat their flesh alive, drink their blood, pull out their tendons, grind their bones and scatter them into ashes. "

"Well, I will come forward when the time comes and recruit some of them so that they can come back. You can deal with the rest when the time comes."

At 5 a.m., a long black shadow entered the Liyue Port Railway Station with a clattering sound. After the locomotive completed the U-turn and docking tasks, a strong whistle sounded and directly woke up the people of Liyue Port who were still sleeping.

“Woo~~~~~Woo~~~~~~Woo~~~~~~~”

Liyue Harbor was in an uproar. When it was still dawn, people started running towards the Liyue Harbor train station one after another, especially the staff from the newspaper office, who wished they had two more legs.

By 7 o'clock, the train station was already packed with people. The Qianyan Army had a plan in place and set up a bunch of railings to separate the people who were watching. Those who had finished watching moved to the front tracks and waited for the train to depart.

"Is this the locomotive? It's quite big, and it makes a rumbling sound." A young man looked at the locomotive with a big red flower hanging on it.

"There are about 30 carriages behind this, right? These are for display. The left side and top covers are not installed, so the inside is clearly visible."

"A hard-seat carriage has about 100 seats, and there are toilets and washrooms at the front and back. The carriage at the back is a sleeper carriage. I was surprised to find that it even has doors and beds."

"And this freight car, it's about the size of a small warehouse, right? How much cargo must it carry? Wouldn't it be expensive to rent one?"

Now, not only the train station, but even the concrete roadside was full of people, watching piles of goods being loaded onto freight cars, as well as animals such as chickens and cows.

At 9 o'clock, the auspicious time had arrived, and Tianquanxing Ningguang completed the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The locomotive made a "Woo~~~~~~" sound again and began to move slowly forward.

"It's moving! It's moving! How amazing!"

"It's so strong! The cargo loaded in the back must be 1000 tons! It can still be dragged."

The people of Liyue Harbor were running after the train happily, but the train was getting faster and faster, and they couldn't catch up at all. People riding speed bikes on the cement road nearby were also running after it, and soon they had walked almost 6 kilometers.

However, the people chasing the train on the cement road spotted a figure on the tracks in the distance.

"What is that? The Treasure Stealing Group."

"what are they doing?"

"Ah! They moved one of the tracks away!!!"

"What???"

The people who followed behind were also stunned when they saw what was happening in the distance.

"The train next to me is going almost 90 km/h. What should I do?"

The people on the cement road shouted desperately: "Stop. Don't go over there!!!"

“Ahhh!!! It’s over!!!”

The train derailed, fell heavily to the ground, and slid forward with sparks, then exploded. The carriages behind collided with each other due to the huge inertia and twisted beyond recognition.
