I represent the earth to marry another world princess

Chapter 97 Steel Plants, Railways, and Tap Water (four more)
After breakfast, Fang Xu took the head maid out to the No. [-] Magic Engine Factory.

Morning Song of Silver Moon and Morning Song of Berry also followed.

Usually, Yinyue Chenge usually goes to the military camp to watch the training of the Tractor Knights there.

But today's situation is quite special. After all, it is the day when the No. [-] Engine Plant officially goes into production, and everyone attaches great importance to it.

Even Berry Morning Song, who is always laughing and joking, looks very cute today.

Well, when Yinyue Chenge is around, she seems to be quite well-behaved, so is she sensible, or is she suppressed by her sister's blood?
This is a problem!

On the way to the Magic Engine Factory, there were far fewer big pits dug along the street, and most of them were buried after the construction of the sewer system.

After the landfill, the construction team re-leveled the road on the ground by the way.

After being compacted with tractors and heavy road rollers, a layer of cement is laid, and the simple cement road is built.

Although it may not be as good as the standard of the road in the Rabbit Country, there are not so many cars in Baihe City, so it will be no problem to use it for a few years.

As for a few years later, it is estimated that the new urban area will be built long ago. By then, everything will start again, and it will be better to build.

In the current White River City, to be honest, it is too narrow. In terms of the width of the road, it is basically at the level of an alley.

After all, there is no need to take a cart. The cities in the middle ages did not have the habit of leaving wide roads.

Therefore, even if the main road in Baihe City is at most equivalent to the width of two lanes in the Rabbit Country, it will not be able to adapt to future development at all.

After a few years, building another new city is almost inevitable.

Of course, if you can deal with it now, that's fine.

However, what Fang Xu and a few earth employees who are the leaders of the construction team saw as copious, but in the eyes of the locals, it was extravagant.

After drying, the object that looks like a whole piece of white rock is laid on the ground, which is stronger than the road made by the magic of turning mud into stone.

Of course, ordinary citizens have never seen the road paved by the magic of turning mud into stone. In a remote town like Baihe City, there are no magicians who turn mud into stone to pave the road.

Therefore, the evaluation that the cement road is stronger than the mud-turned-stone magic road comes from the group of magicians from the royal capital in the Magic Research Institute.

The construction of the entire Baihe City sewer, as well as the incidental road construction, has entered the final stage.

The tap water connection project has also come to an end. This afternoon, the tap water in some blocks will be connected to the water.

However, some areas are still under construction.

It can be said that more than half of the sewer project, road paving project, and tap water project in the entire Baihe City have been completed. The construction team is concentrating the personnel who have completed the construction of the lot to support the unfinished lot, so as to speed up the construction speed and fight for the remaining land. The work should be completed before the snow falls, otherwise it will be difficult to dig when the ground freezes.

With the money earned during these constructions, the citizens can also guarantee that they will not starve to death this winter, and they can even eat well.

So although digging a hole every day is very hard on the body, the leaders feel warm and satisfied in their hearts.

Along the way, when passing through some sections of the road that were still under construction, I kept seeing people spontaneously saluting to Fang Xu and the others.

Fang Xu used to be able to correct, but now he doesn't bother to take care of it, because he really can't manage it.

Soon, several people arrived at the No. [-] Magic Engine Manufacturing Factory.

Li Jian and other employees from the earth, as well as a few magicians from the capital, are now in charge of the Magic Engine Factory, and they all greet Fang Xu and his party at the door.

Then, the groundbreaking ceremony began.

Although Fang Xu doesn't like these cumbersome things very much, the necessary ceremony is still required.

It can only be as simple as possible to simplify some procedures.

For example, when it was Fang Xu's turn to speak, he would not say a few words.

Soon, the brief ceremony was completed, and thousands of employees in the whole factory took their positions.

The magic generator started to start, and the current flowed from the generator and was directly transmitted to the production line, driving the production line to start running.

If there is excess power, it is stored as much as possible, and then used for street lighting in the city that is about to start at night, or for other purposes, or simply as backup power.

However, some power will still be wasted. After all, buying batteries also requires cost.

And since the magic generator can continuously generate electricity, there is no need to worry about energy consumption, so why spend a lot of money to buy batteries to store the excess electricity, it is not necessary at all!
How much electricity do you want to use, the magic generator will come as soon as it is turned on, why bother to store it up?
The cost of storing electricity, even higher than on-site generation, is a wonder.

I thought this kind of scene could only be seen after the popularization of nuclear fusion power generation, but I didn't expect to see it now, and Fang Xu was also amazed.

In short, everything went well at the scene. Fang Xu watched the assembly line start and workers began to work one by one.

After all, they are just workers who have not been trained for a long time and have no foundation. Those whose movements are unfamiliar are simply unbearable to look at.

From time to time, the production line will stop for a while, and several persons in charge are directing on the spot, their voices are almost smoky.

But there is no way, just treat it as training workers!I can only bite the bullet.

"How much can the current output reach?" Fang Xu asked Li Jian beside him.

"Well, it's hard to say, although these workers have been trained for half a month, but to what extent they can actually do it." Li Jian looked at the scene full of mistakes and omissions, and felt dizzy.

I even feel a little regretful that I shouldn't have called the boss to hold a groundbreaking ceremony.

It was enough to start work in a low-key manner, but it turned out to be a mess.

But there is no way, there are no qualified workers at all, so I can only train them slowly.

"It's okay, don't worry, I just have one request, to replace the diesel engines on the tractors in the military camp as soon as possible, we will soon be unable to burn diesel!" Fang Xu sighed.

"Don't worry, when everything is straightened out, the speed will increase quickly! In addition, we need enough steel." Li Jian looked at Fang Xu's face and said.

"The obsolete small blast furnace we bought from the earth is already on the way here. When it arrives, the steel plant will be established. At that time, some people may have to be recruited from you. After all, the territory can barely be regarded as workers. , it’s just your people here, although this group of people are in a hurry, they have received a period of training anyway, and the steel plant can be put into production as soon as possible with manpower!” Fang Xu was thinking about how to start from these unscrupulous workers. The staff has been drawn.

After all, no matter how bad it is, it is better than having no foundation at all.

"Don't worry, I have no objection to the transfer. I don't have enough steel, and I can't run it! And to be honest, I don't need 1000 people here for the time being. It's a waste to transfer a batch of people and quickly put the blast furnace into operation." It's a good thing to wake up." Li Jian was not stingy with manpower at all.

The two discussed it, and decided to transfer half of the people from the engine factory, that is, 500 people, to set up a steel factory.

At the same time, the engine factory is recruiting 500 people and restarting training.

Steel plants also need to recruit people and continue training.

Fang Xu calculated that the entire Baihe City has a total of tens of thousands of people, excluding women and children, the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

Well, the proportion of the old, weak, sick and disabled is relatively low in this era. After all, after reaching the stage of old, weak, sick and disabled, they will naturally be eliminated soon after they live.

But even so, there are not many people who can be converted into workers, but don't wait until next year, there will not even be enough people to farm.

By the way, there is also the problem of iron ore. With steel factories, it will not work without iron ore.

I remember that there is indeed iron ore in Baihe City, but the surface layer has been mined.

If you want to mine the bottom layer, you have to purchase equipment from the earth.

Really, money, money, money, everything needs money.

In addition, tractors can be used to transport iron ore back from the mine, but in the long run, do we have to build railways?

Things happen one after another, one by one, there is really no time to worry!

Just thinking about it, Fang Xu felt his head was getting bigger.

After the inspection of the magic engine factory, Fang Xu felt heaved a sigh of relief when he left.

Forget it, don't want to worry about these things, and then go to see the happy things.

The first water pipeline in Baihe City.

In fact, when it comes to running water, there is a similar device in the castle where Fang Xu and Yinyue Chenge live.

It's just done by magic.

Use magic to drive a special pipe deep enough into the ground, and then use magic to draw the water out to use it as water in the castle.

However, this method obviously cannot be popularized among civilians.

But this time the tap water project is to use the river water in Baihe City outside the city, and connect it to the city for use.

A few people returned to the castle for lunch, and then came to Yujiang Street in the south of the city.

This is not far from the Baihe River, so it is also the first block to be connected to the tap water, and the rest of the area is still under construction.

Every summer, a large number of local residents catch fish from Baihe River and make fish sauce here, hence the name.

And the fish sauce in Baihe City is also a rare specialty in Baihe City.

Of course, the villagers worked hard to make fish sauce, but they couldn't sell it themselves, they could only sell it to the lord, and then the lord sold it to the merchant. What's the difference in price!I understand everything.

So even if the fish sauce in Baihe City is famous far and wide, the citizens of Yujiang Street are still poor.

After Her Royal Highness and the Earl came, it was announced here that the City Lord's Mansion would no longer purchase the fish sauce they made, and they could freely trade all the fish sauce with merchants.

So, dawn!

Of course, everyone didn't believe it at the beginning, but as Her Royal Highness and the Earl did one thing after another, everyone gradually began to believe it.

Later, the citizens of Yujiang Street also participated in the construction of the whole city, received enough salary to buy food for a whole winter, and also received the kind of green clothes that were nice and warm from the Earl.

All the citizens of Yujiang Street showed a sharp increase in their reverence for Her Highness the Princess and the Earl.

Not to mention that for the convenience of everyone, the Earl is going to connect all the blocks with something called running water.

Although everyone has participated in the construction of tap water, they still don't know what tap water is, but this does not prevent the residents from simply feeling that tap water must be a good thing.

So when Yujiang Street, as the first block with tap water, ushered in Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Earl, the whole street was boiling.

Countless people rushed out of the house to welcome Her Royal Highness and the Earl.

And looking at those people's reverence from the heart, some even couldn't help but knelt down and kowtowed to the two of them.

However, Yinyue Chenge could no longer shout out that she was not allowed to kneel.

For these two kinds of prostration are obviously different, no longer stemming from fear, but from gratitude.

At most, she could only use magic power to help the kneeling people up from a distance, instead of reprimanding them.
