Chapter 921 The Train Age

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
There is no winter city, the North Slope Mine Area.

A new road connecting the ore yard and the furnace area is undergoing a final cleaning.

It is different from the iron-clad rails in the mine cave. It not only has a larger spacing, but also has a much wider bearing surface.

Especially the two tracks are made of all steel, and you can imagine how heavy it is just looking at it.

If it were other lords, they would have felt incredible about such waste that so much iron material would be made into armor and swords?

Even if it is conservatively estimated, it is enough to arm a large-scale knight order.

Now he is buried in the ground, allowing it to blow wind and rain, rust and dust, which is simply a prodigal son.

When Roland led the participants into the yard, a tremendous commotion rang out in the crowd.

Not every department is aware of the ins and outs of the new road, especially the officials from Changge District, who opened their mouths in surprise, and their eyes could no longer move away from the lined tracks, which are naturally uniform and uniform, can always give people a kind of power of silence. Even if they don’t understand its role, they will be impressed by this power.

After years of shocking training, they did not think that their king would be a prodigal son, but this practice still made most of the participants feel thrilled.

Paving cast steel strips on the ground at first glance is no different from paving the road with a golden dragon.

That is the best material Ah. As long as it is shipped out, you can exchange a large amount of coins in any city.

In fact, only Wu Dongcheng can afford such consumption.

Since blast furnace iron smelting and converter steel smelting have been officially put into production, the cornerstone of all industries has finally achieved the witch-free transformation to a certain extent.

Although the latter requires Anna to ignite and start, this production process can be regarded as a miracle in this era compared to the original Steel Star.

In addition, the transformation of the Beipo mine further improved the smelting industry.

With the bold planning of the Ministry of Construction and the cooperation of the lotus, several blasting operations exploded the dome of the shallow mine cave, turning some mining areas into open-pit veins, and iron ore is the largest mining area.

It was from the previous year that Wu Winter City's steel production has made a leap forward, and more steel released in one month is than the total amount of other cities in Grayburg.

But in Roland's view, this is all a matter of course. If industrial production cannot crush those steel that has been tempered by blacksmiths, it will be meaningless for him to toss these things.

As for the track in front of us, it is part of the experimental railway that connected the mining area, smelting area and the dock in the original design.

Since there is no significant difference between wide rails and narrow rails in terms of consumables and load capacity, he deliberately used 1.5 meters as the railway spacing standard. The numbers are easy to remember, and the width of the two rails plus the roadbed is basically within the influence of the lotus' ability.

The sleepers are cut from logs, and the stones are taken from the debris after the mine blast. If you don’t look at the carrier, these rails are exactly the same as modern tracks.

However, as the War of Unification began, construction work was temporarily interrupted.

After all, what he wanted to do was still in the experimental stage, and it was impossible to build a factory and produce it before it was finalized. Therefore, whether it was rail processing or installation, it was completed by Anna. Without the black fire, there was no way to start the second half.

Of course, these new roads alone cannot satisfy everyone's curiosity. Under Roland's instructions, the workers unveiled a canvas shed at the end of the track.

When the dusty and fallen leaves fell to the ground, a dark steel car appeared in front of everyone.

Your Majesty, is this... a steam wheel?Pellow, the consul of Changge District, said in surprise.

No wonder he thought so, as the main part of the vehicle, the barrel-shaped steam engine standing on the steel beam immediately attracted everyone's attention.

As more and more steam engines are put into use in Wu Winter City, officials are becoming more familiar with this seemingly clumsy but with infinite power. Even in traditional fields that require a lot of manpower, they will take the initiative to consider using steam engines to achieve goals such as farmland irrigation, dock unloading, etc.

It can be said that at the beginning, the manufacturing plants of steam engines and related supporting equipment would only receive production instructions issued by Roland, and now they occasionally produce special machines for the needs of the city hall.

Even if you use the same gears, brackets and transmission rods, you can get completely different effects with a little combination.

This is an extremely good sign, which means that people start to transform from passive production to active creation.

For Pelo, if the cement ship driven by a steam engine in the river is called a steam paddle, it is very reasonable that the car is called a steam wheel.

Roland naturally didn't want to sit idly by and see the naming rights fall into others.

You know, this is an epoch-making tool of transportation.

Since its birth, the world has ushered in a drastic change. Although the speed of the prototype is not as fast as a carriage, and although it has been changed to various strange appearances and even the power source has been replaced several times, its original name is still deeply engraved in the history of human development.

Train, Roland corrects the way, it is the key to solving transportation problems.

You want to build a track like this on the prairie and then use it for... trains?Barov read this life-creating word in a twisted mouth. What if the devil attacks the workers and blocks the laying of the track?

First of all, there must be at least two rails, which can ensure smooth flow in and out at the same time.Secondly, I don’t plan to cross the grassland, but start from the hide-and-see forest to the closest location to the Taqila ruins, and then advance to the east.Roland expressed the plan he had formulated in his heart, so that even if the evil moon came, the leaves could protect the track from the evil beasts.As for the devil... this is a contest between spears and shields. There is not only one position, but wherever the railway is built, the artillery will be installed.Even if they can destroy railways under fire, as long as we build them faster.

He had discussed this with the General Staff before returning to Wudong. The hidden forest route seems to be farther than the grassland route, but the construction speed will be much faster.

The removal and table cleaning process that makes most pioneering projects very troublesome is basically free of weeds and vines, which will automatically move out of the way and form a natural hydrophobic slope.

The forest under the command of Ye Zi can also actively transport construction materials, which can greatly reduce the burden on hummingbirds.

After that, Lian level the roadbed, the Ministry of Construction lays stone, sleepers and rails, and Anna is responsible for seamless welding. If the three processes are carried out alternately, the rails can be repaired to the predetermined position before the end of winter.

By then, the entire Tachila ruins will be within the range of the fortress cannon.
