In half a year... Is this kind of track deep in the wilderness?After listening to Roland's plan, Barov, who had seen many miracles, still widened his eyes in disbelief. However, it took the Ministry of Construction more than half a year to build an ordinary road connecting the border with Changge. Now this distance is at least five times more than the Kingdom Avenue. Are you sure Mr. Carl can do it?
There were also whispers at the scene. Kingdom Avenue was the first super-large project launched after Roland took over the Changge Fortress, and it used up to 2,000 workers. At that time, it was regarded as a meaningless act in the eyes of many people.
The new road needs to be taken further. With the limitations of construction periods, it is probably difficult to satisfy even if all the workers in Wudongcheng are invested.
Minister of Construction Carl Vanbert himself said nothing, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of the plan.
Roland knew what these officials were wondering. After all, there are many construction projects in the city, and it is impossible to invest all resources on the railway. However, in fact, the paving of roadbed gravel pavement is much more convenient than the cement gravel pavement that requires grading materials and repeatedly crushing them.
As for the seemingly complex rail installation, it is the quickest part.
He has seen Anna's black fire welding demonstration with his own eyes. Components like tracks, which take less than ten seconds to connect two breakpoints at a time.
Compared with traditional bolts or hot melt connections, not only has better quality, but also saves a lot of manpower and materials. In addition to the lack of the emotional clanging sound of old trains, it can be described as perfect.
In fact, the experimental track in front of everyone is a quasi-seamless railway track.
In addition to the joints left by resisting the temperature stress of the steel itself, a smooth straight line is formed on the entire top surface, and the wheels are almost unable to feel the tremor when they roll on it.
At that time, Anna only took half a day to complete the process.
This is why Roland is confident that he will set the construction period so short.
In other words, the worker spent ten days laying out the foundation, and the leaves may take five days to place sleepers and rails, while Anna can weld them all in just one day.
If you don't deliberately accumulate the quantity, you will be the rhythm of taking Maisie to set off in the morning and returning to the castle for lunch at noon.
But he did not explain in detail about this. After all, not everyone knows the witch's abilities well, and the other half a year is just a rough estimate.
As soon as he arrived in Wudong City, he headed straight for the Wolf Girl and the Conference. He didn't even have time to ask Tilly for whom the witches came to Sleeping Island. If he had the right ability, the railway progress might be faster.
Seeing that Roland didn't say much, the officials turned their eyes back to the train.
Compared with modern railways, the train itself undoubtedly looks much more antique.
A complete front of the car is divided into two sections. The first half is mainly composed of the fourth-generation steam engine and transmission device, and the second half is a coal storage truck.
The cab is located in the middle. In addition to controlling the speed and pulling the whistle, it is also the driver's responsibility to reliably rely on manpower to add coal to the boiler.
Although the train is still in the semi-finished stage due to its expedition, it is still much more perfect than the first steam locomotive in another world.
For example, steam directly does work on the crankshaft, rather than being driven by a flywheel belt, or the wheels on both sides use linkage mechanisms without dead points, rather than being driven by a gear set for single-wheel drive.
During design, Roland simplified various cumbersome functions and almost directly pieced together several main components. From a later perspective, its shortcomings are many such as the star brakes that require human twisting winch, and the cab is rigidly connected to the beam. The driver can fully feel the restlessness of the steam engine when working, the absence of any power equipment, and notify the crew of the crew to rely on a whistle or voice, etc.... However, here, it is already the best solution that can be solved by no existing technology in Winter City.
Just like the first generation of steam engines, first solve the problem and then improve it step by step.
Your Majesty, how much cargo can this thing... drag?Chemical Minister Kemostrier said curiously, how about the cement boats in the river?
I think it should be no problem to transport the cargo of five or six ships at a time. Roland proudly saw everyone's surprise again, but this was just the beginning. With the advancement of technology, it would be no problem to drag the cargo of a hundred cement ships in the future.
One...one hundred ships?Barov swallowed, and as the head of the city hall, he could fully understand what this number meant.
So... what about the speed?Pelo's voice trembled slightly.
This is hard to say, it depends on the actual test results, but it will not be slower than the cement boat.
However, the windless automatic paddle wheel cement ship is already an extremely fast transport tool in their eyes. You should know that the land transportation in this era is mainly carried by horse carriages or livestock. On uneven soft roads, the efficiency can be imagined.
Running a little faster, vehicles without any shock absorption system can shake the broken shaft and disintegrate. Therefore, shipping is the main means of transportation in the Grayburg Kingdom. In the inland river, steamships without the help of wind obviously have advantages that sailboats cannot match.
When they heard that the train's carrying capacity would only be stronger and the speed would not drop, a group of people had completely fallen into silence.
Roland couldn't help but laugh in her heart. If it were two years ago, he would have only been regarded as a lunatic by others.
Seeing these officials subconsciously wanting to deny it, but with the expression of what to do if it is really done, he couldn't help feeling quite pleased. Although the descriptions were based on the fact that ship technology was still in place, the war was coming, and it would be good to strengthen everyone's confidence.
Besides, he was not aimless.
This is just an industrial product under the power of the first generation.
By the time the second generation of source power, that is, internal combustion engines, is the epoch-making means of transportation, trains, will become a veritable king of land transportation.
Your Majesty, can you show it to us?After a while, the boss manager spoke.
Not yet possible, it currently lacks several key parts and is not really finished.It will probably take about a week to wait until everything is debugged.Roland shook his head.
The plan you handed over to the Ministry of Construction before going to war was to use tracks to connect the mines and docks, right?Barov asked again.
What's wrong?He noticed that the other party seemed to have something to say.
If it is really as you said, it will inevitably have a positive impact on the city hall's war propaganda, Barov will express his thoughts one by one. Can your leaders see this incredible scene with their own eyes on the day the train is running?
Roland immediately understood the intention of the general manager. It seems that over the past few years, the general manager has also realized the importance of guiding the people.
Just do what you said.He raised the corner of his mouth and said.
There were also whispers at the scene. Kingdom Avenue was the first super-large project launched after Roland took over the Changge Fortress, and it used up to 2,000 workers. At that time, it was regarded as a meaningless act in the eyes of many people.
