The host on the other side couldn't stop glancing at the book, but due to his status, he couldn't go over and read directly. Bamboo Stick didn't care that much, and just went over to take a look. However, he was only responsible for protecting important members of the association, and he was completely ignorant of these concepts - he knew nothing about them.
After watching for a while, Ze Wu slowly calmed down, licked his dry lips, and said, "Excuse me, I can't find any words to describe what I saw. Content."
"Take it back and print it, and remember to send it to Crow City." There are good things that must be shared together. This kind of book can enhance the ruler's governance philosophy. Nature will not be stingy.
Ze Wu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the door of the auditorium suddenly pushed open. The person who came was a dwarf.
"Gov, you are indeed here. Let's go and see something good for you." Andre stood at the door and saw Gewu. He walked over happily and said, walking up to the door. Only then did he look up at Ze Wu who was interrupted.
"You guys should come and take a look." Although Andre still dislikes seeing these former colleagues, how can he bring his personal emotions into work?
After saying these words, Andre noticed that there were two unfamiliar people at the scene. After carefully identifying them, Andre said: "What? Why is the Sharing Wealth and Suffering Association interested? Are you coming to our place? ”
Andre’s views on the Sharing of Wealth and Suffering Association are quite complex. In his opinion, these people are just a bunch of whimsical idiots who want to have fun regardless of the current situation. The world is unified. But Andre himself had to admit that he did yearn for the world described in the words of the Association for Sharing Wealth and Suffering.
Gowu looked at Andre beside him and asked, "Uncle, what are you looking at?"
After being asked by Gowu, the expression on Andre's face returned to normal. He was in high spirits before, and said a little eagerly: "It's what you said, rail transit."
Gaowu looked shocked. He remembered that he had mentioned it to Andre before, But it was only when Gawu was still young that he said it to Andre on a whim. I didn’t expect that this old dwarf had such a good memory, and that he could achieve it in just a few years?
"Huh?" Thousands of words turned into one word, and Ge Wu could not find any other words to describe his current surprise. It can only be said that it is indeed a magical world, and the infrastructure construction is very fast.
Seeing Gewu's expression, Andre also knew that Gewu must have misunderstood something, so he explained: "It's not all built, it's just a temporary line that's used for "It's ridiculous."
"That's outrageous. Let me ask one more question, what is the power source?" There are various technologies accumulated, but in the past, stability maintenance would suppress research and development.
Now it can be considered that there is a lot of accumulation but little progress. It is estimated that for a long time in the future, new technologies in this world will appear at this blowout speed.
"A magic power motive is developed on the basis of the magic rod. The magic rod is enlarged, thickened, and then combined together. It is placed at the bottom of the carriage to drive the wheels. The carrying capacity is How big it is. "Andre is not a mage, but he is responsible for this project, and Andre still knows these details clearly.
What is this, an internal combustion engine? Steam engine? Or fucking stellar power? Gawu, who knew that the essence of magic energy was the stellar radiation of this universe, twitched his lips. Some civilizations are just good, and they can use star-powered trains as soon as they start to dig into the technology tree seriously.

The group came to the red iron mine in such excitement. Of course, the host He and Bamboo Stick also followed, and the divine sect would not let these two people go back so easily.
What first attracted Gewu's attention was not the half-empty open-pit mine and the buildings inside, nor the streets with people coming and going, but the choking smoke. Let Ge Wu recall the time when he just traveled to this world.
The same gathering place of dwarves, the same super smog.
The suburbs of Fenglei City have been connected with the mining industry, but because the haze is so powerful, humanoid creatures that are not dwarves cannot survive here for a week. This directly dissuaded all Feglai City residents from thinking about expanding here.
Even some of Lot's policies and instructions are transmitted to the mine through magic communication or dwarves running errands. Anyway, no human being is willing to come here to lose his life.
Of course, four unlucky guys came here today to lose their lives.
"Ahem! Ze Eleven, will your dwarf city always be like this?" Ze Wu was choked by the smog and coughed and shed tears. Before he actually entered the mine, Ze Wu I kind of regret coming here.
Ze Liu, who was standing next to Ze Wu, had his arms crossed and an expression that said he should keep strangers away from him. If the corners of his eyes that were already red had not betrayed her, Ge Wu would have really thought that this strong woman could stand in front of her. It can survive this level of haze.
"It's okay, the smoke is not particularly big." Andre touched his bald head and said apologetically. The previous city of Pugliese was also smoggy, but since there was at least some vegetation around it, and the city was built on a mountain, the air quality was not so deadly.
But there is no vegetation here. All the trees within a five-mile radius have been cut down and used as infrastructure materials, and the soil has also been excavated to expose the mineral deposits underneath. If it weren't for the fact that part of the ground had to be reserved for transportation needs, these dwarves would have dug this place directly into a sinkhole.
This has also led to a further decline in air quality.
"Don't you think Ge Wu is fine?"Andre pointed at Gawu and said.
"Damn it, Ze Shiyi, Ge Wu is Gu Long! Gu Long! Cough cough cough!" Ze Wu's coughing became more severe and he could hardly straighten his back.
Bamboo Stick and the host were well prepared and put on the masks and goggles in their pockets early in the morning. Yes, goggles, the smog here will not only attack your respiratory tract, but also your eyes.
"Just get used to it." Andre scratched his head in embarrassment. But fortunately, Zewu Zeliu is not an ordinary person. They have excellent physical fitness. After suffering for a while, their bodies were forced to adapt to the environment here.
Although my throat is still itchy and dry, my eyes are astringent, and my nose is sore, I feel better after all.
As Andre went deeper, Gowitch was able to appreciate the dwarf aesthetics of this world again. The road that Andre took was the only one leading to the interior of the mine. The rest of the road had long been dug out. The road was stone, with no garbage but heavy dust accumulation.
Of course, in this environment, dust = nothing.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
The road goes all the way down. There are magic lamps that shine 24 hours a day at regular intervals on the roadside. The lighting is secondary. The function of these lamps is more like the fog on this side of the earth. lamp.
It is used to remind passers-by to let them know that their feet are on the road, not the air, so as not to miss the mark. Especially every morning, the haze here can escalate to the point where you can't even see your fingers.
After Gawu and his party walked for a while, distinctive dwarf buildings appeared around them. If the human buildings in this world are somewhat similar to the ancient buildings on the other side of the earth, which are mostly wood and stone structures or pure wood structures, then the ones on the dwarf side are purely otherworldly.
A large amount of stone and a very small amount of wood. I don’t know how these dwarves found so many stones suitable for building a house, or did they simply carve a house out of place?
Most of the dwarf houses are mainly practical. In human terms, they just need to be habitable, no matter what they look like. Dwarves with a slightly higher status will decorate their houses.
The urban planning of the mine is also very dwarf-like. It is designed to be a place where no one can live, but it cannot be without iron, mining, and wine. The most numerous buildings on the street are actually the tavern, then the tool shop, and then the quick access to the mine.
"Ze Liu, do you feel that you have suddenly become hot?" Ze Wu pulled the collar of his clothes to dissipate the heat from his body.
"Indeed. Ze Eleven, is there something nearby?" Ze Liu asked with a frown. The living environment of dwarves must be too harsh. No wonder people within the cult heard about him. When he was sent to the mine, his expression looked like he was about to commit suicide.
"Oh, you said thisAh, not far away is a branch furnace of the central furnace, which is used to smelt ore. We plan to continue to expand it recently. "Andre said, pointing in one direction.
"Oh, that's not right, Andre, do we have that much coal reserves? "Ge Wu suddenly thought of a problem. In this world, things need to be burned to smelt iron. Magic cannot be used to directly smelt metal.
"There is a giant heating circle, or you can invite a dragon with a talent for fire to come over. burn. "Andre waved his hand, "Burning coal? We don't need this kind of thing a long time ago, right?" "Ah, here we are, right here." "
Andre stood in front of a park. It was said to be a park, but some fine iron fences were built around it. The arrangement of the internal buildings was well planned. The gate of the park There is a huge stone next to it, which is engraved with: Fenglei Metal Manufacturing Bureau Headquarters
But what attracts Gawu's attention the most is the two railway tracks extending next to the manufacturing bureau headquarters, spiraling all the way around the road. Go down and lay it deep into the mine.
The railway track does not have a track bed, but it has sleepers, and even rail supports and anti-climbs. This is a surprise to Gawu. This is the first time he has done so in this full area. In the world of magic, we see a product of the Industrial Revolution.
"Is this the only line? " Gewu asked. On one side, Ze Wu and Ze Liu were studying what the purpose of this thing was. After all, Andre's actions were not monitored by the cult. The two high priests only saw it in the report. I have seen what kind of rail transit Andre is working on, but this is the first time I have seen it offline.
Bamboo Stick and the host have visited here before, and they have seen the vigorous process of laying the railway. , I wasn’t too surprised by the finished product in front of me.
“Well, there is only one. In fact, the main train station is not here. You can only get there by walking along the railway. "Andre nodded and said that this thing is actually still semi-experimental until now. It will have to be used for a while to see if there are any safety hazards and precautions before it can be officially used.
As for the large amount of iron ore needed to lay the railway, isn't it underfoot? With such a small population in Fenglei City, the amount of iron used is so small. These dwarves have been digging day and night, and now it is not being processed in the stockyard. The raw ore has piled up into a hill.
"The manufacturing bureau is responsible for manufacturing and assembling new trains, and then the trains will drive to the terminal and carry goods according to the departure schedule. "Andre continued to explain, "Then it starts from the main station, passes through the iron foundry, the central furnace, the stockyard and then returns. ”
“Most of the cargo boxes are used to transport ore and metal, but some are also used to carry people. "While Andre was talking, there was a train pulling three carriages coming from a little distance.
Unlike the internal combustion engine that produced noise when operating in Gawu's impression, magic energy drives The train itself doesn't make any noise, but it's still noisy, after all, except when it starts.The sound of the machine, the sound of the wheel and the track connecting, the sound of the wind caused by high-speed driving, and the most noisy car whistle.
"I'll go, you're awesome, Ze Shiyi, I've made this thing for you." Ze Wu looked at the approaching train and marveled. This thing is an epoch-making product, and it is impossible for Ze Wu to fail to see it.
With this thing, it is possible to transport large quantities of goods, transfer large quantities of troops, and move people between cities.
What? Why not use the teleportation circle? Wouldn't that be more convenient?
There are still so many first-class tickets on the plane, but some people take the green train.
"Where are the safety measures? Are they all complete?" Gewu saw another problem, that is, trains are brand new to all intelligent creatures in this world. How to solve the security problems caused after the official start of use?
Let’s not talk about whether someone will walk on the track and have close contact with the train. This is a small problem, because the human body is too fragile for the train, and it will be run over if it runs over it.
But it would be a different matter if the person walking on the track was a dragon. Not to mention that in the wild forests of this world, there are creatures with low IQs such as goblins (Gowu has not encountered them) and other large and aggressive animals (Gowu has not encountered them either).
If one end of the line is damaged by a train or the track is damaged, the entire line will be useless.
"Well, I think there probably won't be any idiots who would run onto the tracks to play. Even if there are... it won't be a problem if they run over them with the speed and weight of the train. Just clean up afterward." An Andre touched his beard and said.
It is indeed a world where you can be reincarnated, and you can be tough when speaking! This kind of person who wants to die does not need to consider the issue of compensation at all.
"If you mean that the tracks in those wild areas will be infested by criminals or other creatures. Then there is no need to worry." Andre continued. It seems that he has been worrying about the trains these days. Regarding the problem, "When laying the railway tracks, just set up iron mesh fences."
"This can prevent most wild animals and those goblins."
"If there are any criminals who bring tools to cause destruction..." Andre was stunned for a moment when he said this, and shook his head with a smile, "Seriously, if they really have those thoughts, we will be on the railway track It’s useless to set up the magic circle below.”
