Chapter 295
Then the carpenters assisted the sleepers, and the blacksmiths assisted the sleepers with lengths of rails, nailed them, and docked…
A beautiful rail, which was assisted from the railway station in this way. After coming out, it went all the way to the north gate of the town, and extended desperately in the direction of the source stone canyon… Of course, with the engineering and technical capabilities of this era, even if Robb helped to open the hook, it would take more than a month to completely remove the rails. No matter how long it is, this railroad track like a newborn baby has only been supplemented for twenty miles.
A clunky, ugly locomotive, with a solitary carriage hanging behind it, is now quietly parked on the tracks in front of the train station, surrounded by crowds of onlookers.
Early this morning, Robb had a newly appointed Paladin police chief send a notice to the town: “Today Godfather is going to show you the Western View.”
Of course, the Western View No one understands the meaning of these three words. The townspeople can only infer from the context. This should mean “fresh stuff”, but why does “fresh stuff” have to be said to be “Western view”? I don’t understand a bit.
Anyway, no matter what it is, Godfather said to see it, everyone should come and see it, it can’t be wrong.
As soon as it was dawn, some townspeople came to the train station to watch the excitement. It was already full of townspeople, many of them lined up along both sides of the railroad track, extending all the way out.
The new chief of police is leading a large group of police officers to maintain law and order, and from time to time their roars can be heard from the crowd: “That idiot, what are you doing standing on the rails? Do you want to stop the train courting death? Hurry up? Go away!”
“Take care of your little children, don’t run on the rails suddenly, you will die.”
“Attention onlookers, don’t kick the small stones The railroad tracks are on.”
The most excited people in the crowd are not these ordinary townspeople, but the group of nobles Young Masters and Young Ladies who came to Westwind Town for refuge. They are youngsters and have no life. Stress, just play every day, encounter new things, run faster than anyone else, and feel better than anyone else.
A group of people hooted and shouted by the railway, making it as lively as a festival.
Just below the focal point of ten thousands, Godfather came from the church opposite, in a wheelchair, pushed over by a maid, and his Disciple Robert Smith followed .
This is of course Robb used an Avatar Technique. His body was pushed by Lillian in a wheelchair, but he was manipulating Avatar to come over. It was troublesome, but in order not to reveal his identity, he had to do it like this. .
Seeing his arrival, the townspeople cheered: “Godfather is here!”
“Is the Western View going to start?”
” The so-called western landscape should refer to this big iron car. It looks very heavy. How can this thing run?”
“How many horses does it take to pull it? Ah? I’m afraid it’s not a hundred horses? Or two hundred?”
“I heard from a friend who studied blacksmithing skills in a technical school and said that this thing uses a ‘diesel engine’.”
“What the hell?”
“Well, anyway, you’ll know when you see it.”
The townspeople discussed spiritedly.
At this time, Robb also took a firm seat next to the rails. He first waved his Avatar to the nobles Young Masters and Young Ladies as a greeting, and then swiped his consciousness to his body. body. He took out a communication crystal ball from his bosom and dialed back Queen Your Majesty’s phone.
The call will be through soon!
Chapter 413 facilitates his commute between two places
Not only Queen Your Majesty but also a large group of ministers appeared opposite the crystal ball. It turned out that Robb had already made an appointment with Queen Your Majesty today Make this call and ask her to call all the ministers she trusts.
As soon as the call was connected, the queen said in a majestic voice: “You asked me to call all the ministers to make this call, what are you going to show me?”
Robb smiled and held the crystal ball in his hand, and made it’s fisheye lens face the train: “Look! The big train.”
It is actually difficult to judge the size of an object from the crystal ball. However, there are many townspeople standing next to the train. Once there is a comparison, the size of the locomotive is very clear.
Queen Your Majesty has always been calm and collected, and it is not easy to be moved by anything, so there is nothing to express.
However, the ministers standing behind her exclaimed together: “What a big iron car.”
“How heavy is such a big iron car?”
“How many horses can be pulled?”
These guys’ comments came through the crystal ball, which made Robb laugh. The townspeople in Westwind Town were talking about this just now. , didn’t expect the ministers of the female Young Lady Wang to react the same way. Is your vision and knowledge the level of the townspeople?
Only one minister put forward a more interesting opinion: “This thing is the same as the minecart in the mine, except that the minecart is pulled by a rope to move, and this car seems to be planning to run by itself. Besides, the minecart is hollow, but this car is not empty. I only see a very narrow cab and can’t hold many things. What can this thing do?”
“You don’t Do you see a carriage hanging behind the locomotive? Use the carriage at the back to load things! Of course, I feel that the number of things that can be loaded is second, and the biggest problem is how much force it takes to pull it to run.”
When the ministers finished discussing, the queen calmly opened the mouth and said: “Don’t be a jerk, hurry up and demonstrate. My government affairs are piled up like a mountain, but I don’t have time for the ministers to show you a monkey show.”
Robb was happy: “You said he was playing a monkey show as soon as you opened your mouth, instead of saying that I was playing a monkey show, which proves that you have guessed that my thing is very difficult to deal with.”
The Queen has an indifferent expression, but her attitude has shown her opinion.
“Okay, I hate wasting time too, let’s start testing.” Robb said with a smile: “Actually, I’m not sure if this thing can run normally, I have to try it. I know.”
He waved his hand, and the blacksmith teacher from the West Wind Technical School climbed into the cab of the train, and two apprentices followed.
“Get ready to drive!”
“Strictly observe the train operation manual.”
The old blacksmith shouted a few words, and the two apprentices quickly agreed.
Soon, they started the diesel engine, because Robb cheated, skipped the stage of the steam train, and played the diesel train directly, so simply no whistle. However, to make sure no one was on the tracks when the train moved, Robb fitted the train with a large horn that made a screeching sound.
“wu wu wu…”
Smoke came out of the train, and when the diesel fuel burned, black smoke was emitted, accompanied by a pungent smell.
The townspeople surrounding the car quickly took a few steps back while pinching their noses.
Just when everyone showed a disgusting face to the train, the huge locomotive actually moved, it moved forward very slowly, very slowly, with a snail-like speed, causing the The ministers who came across from the crystal ball sneered.
However, before their smiles widened, they saw that the snail-like train began to accelerate, its speed was getting faster and faster, and the huge locomotive was dragging the back section. The carriage began to roll forward. When the carriage passed by Robb, Robb suddenly stood up from his wheelchair, strode onto the train, and sat in the back carriage.
As a result, the perspective of the person opposite the crystal ball suddenly changed from outside the train to inside the train.
Only then did they see that the carriage was actually full of sleepers and rails. The carriage was full, and they didn’t know how heavy it was. If all these things were pulled by carriage, how much would it have to move carriage is simply unimaginable.
The queen, who has always been very calm, finally moved: “Can you transport so many things at one time?”
Robb said with a smile: “It’s not just about luck. , it’s only in the testing stage, so I only have one carriage, and when the technology is more mature, I will hang twenty carriages in the back.”
“Twenty?” The queen couldn’t help but be surprised , She just visually observed that this one carriage weighs 100,000 catties. If there are 20 carriages, wouldn’t it weigh millions of catties? If this car is really that good, it’s too terrifying.
At this time, the speed of the train was getting faster and faster. The queen looked at the scenery passing by the train window through the crystal ball, and silently estimated its speed. After dozens of seconds, she He suddenly laughed: “I was startled just now, I thought it was a great thing, but now I see that its speed is not as fast as a galloping horse.”
The ministers also helped: “Yeah, Obviously not as fast as a galloping horse, and the more carriages there are, the slower the speed will be.”
“That’s not a big deal, haha.”
Robb said with a smile: “Yes, the Early-Stage train really can’t run the galloping horse. After all, I still have many technical problems that have not been fully resolved. The diesel engine is also a very primary level imitation. The most important thing is that the rails are also It’s only been 20 miles long, and if you run fast now, you’ll run out of railroads in a blink of an eye. Look, I’m pulling the sleepers and rails in this big box, aren’t I just going to supplement the railroad?”
Only then did the queen understand why these things were piled up in the carriage. I thought Robb was deliberately adding weight to the carriage for testing, but now I think about it carefully: “You use this car to pull materials to repair Rails, the extension speed of the rails can be greatly improved.”
