I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 673, Wonder Dragon Vein

Guo Jia naturally understands the benefits of cement roads. It can strengthen the circulation of goods and strengthen local control, but Dagan already has rail carriages, and its efficiency exceeds that of ordinary roads. Even if it is built now The concrete road is not as efficient as Dagan's rail carriage, but the gap between the two sides is not too big, but with the rail carriage, there is no need to build such an expensive cement road. Guo Jia thinks that Lei Gong is It's unnecessary!
But soon he overturned his idea, because there is a rail carriage station in the west of Anci County, but it has been transformed into a train station now, and the track laid on the ground is no longer iron-clad wood tracks, but It is 100% pure steel. When Guo Jia first learned about this situation, he couldn't imagine that he would hit the rail with an iron rod next to the rail!

"Clang, clang, clang!" Guo Jia's hands were numb from the iron rod, but he was even more shocked in his heart. Lay gold on the ground.

"Lei Gong is so exaggerated that he paid such a price to lay railroad tracks on the ground!" You must know that even though Xu Wei continued to manufacture blast furnaces to increase the output of steel, the price did not drop much.

After all, there have been wars in the past ten years. A lot of steel has been used to make armor, swords, and arrows. There are even hundreds of thousands of armored troops. Xu Wei even wrapped sleepers with iron. The whole world needs steel. It is also expanding dozens of times, so now the price of steel has only dropped by half, and a catty of iron is about 10 yuan.

In this era, it is still an extremely precious resource. Now the serfs on Crab Island can’t even make a piece of iron farm tools. Cao Cao can’t afford so much steel, and even has to melt swords to cast farm tools, but Dagan is extravagant. Lay the iron on the ground!
"Could it be that after the world was settled down, Lei Gong became very happy? This is a good thing for Crab Island!" In Guo Jia's opinion, there is no need for any railway tracks, and iron-clad wooden tracks are already very practical. Lei Gong These behaviors made Guo Jia think of the first emperor of the year. He was equally talented and invincible, but he also liked to build all kinds of wonders. .

And now Xu Wei's current spectacle makes Guo Jia feel that it is completely unnecessary, and a strong national power may be consumed on these unnecessary spectacle.

Guo Jia even had a little joy in his heart. If Lei Gong continued to squander like this, the huge national power he had worked for would be consumed little by little. After Lei Gong died, the world might see the chaos of the end of Qin. There may not be no chance to return to the Central Plains!
"Beep, beep, beep!" came the sound, and Guo Jia found that there seemed to be a dragon rushing towards him again. This kind of scene made Guo Jia dumbfounded, and he didn't even dare to move. He was shocked by the steam harvester back then. No end, but now the speed of the steam train is more than ten times that of the harvester, and the size is more than a hundred times. Guo Jia, who saw the train for the first time, really thought he saw a dragon.

It's just that when the train passed by his body, he saw the steel torso of the dragon, and the carriage behind it. Isn't this the replica of the railway carriage, but this one is bigger and more!
Soon Guo Jia could only see the tail of the long dragon and asked in surprise, "Is this the Dagan train?"

Guo Jia immediately turned around and came to Anci County Railway Station again!

At this time, the train has stopped on the rails, and Guo Jia can take a closer look at the train at this time. Of course, the carriages need not be said, but they are just enlarged versions of rail carriage carriages, but workers are carrying goods to get off the train from these carriages. Randomly looking at the cargo in one carriage, I found that there are actually hundreds of stones, and this train has more than a dozen carriages. This time, the cargo transported is thousands of stones, which is already equivalent to the transportation volume of a medium-sized cargo ship.

Guo Jia suddenly realized: "No wonder Lei Gong wants rails, ordinary iron-clad wooden rails can't bear such a weight!"

Guo Jia immediately thought of the military value of the train. The speed of the train just now has exceeded the speed of ordinary war horses. Considering the carrying capacity of the train, it can transport thousands of people or more at one time. If it is maintained, Lei Gong will use the rails to connect the entire Dagan, then Lei Gong's army can reach any place in Dagan within a few days!

Thinking that Lei Gong's hundreds of thousands of troops can reach any place in Dagan within a few days, and the speed of deploying such troops is unprecedented, Guo Jia sighed: "Lei Gong is not building a railway, it is simply In the creation of dragon veins, if Lei Gong's idea is realized, Dagan's national power will be increased dozens of times, and there will be no force in the world that can challenge Lei Gong."

Then Guo Jia bought a train ticket and boarded the train to Jidu!
"This train is amazing! It only takes one hour to get to Jidu. Since the opening of the train, our Anci County's business has improved a lot!" The people around were lamenting the power of the train.

They are the first batch of beneficiaries, they can take their own goods or poultry and other things to sell to Jidu, but before there was no train, it would take two days to get there from Anci to Jidu. The small amount of goods in my home is too bad, but now it’s much better. If you save your own poultry, you can go to Jidu to sell the goods in an hour, and you can come back immediately after the sale, and the only payment is 100 trains back and forth. ticket money.

Guo Jia couldn't help sighing when he heard this. Firstly, it was because the surrounding environment was bad. Chickens, ducks, geese, poultry, and piglets were all here, and the smell was unpleasant.The second is because he saw that the gap between Dagan under Lei Gong's rule and their Crab Island has reached a world of difference.

In the past, Guo Jia still had the confidence to follow Lei Gong's footsteps and chase after Dagan, but now he has too many things that he can't understand from the moment he sets foot on the land of Dagan, and he can't understand it anymore. Going to Lei Gong is a bit self-deceiving.

Now Dagan and Crab Island have become two completely different worlds. Guo Jia feels that the potential of Dagan is not exhausted as he imagined, but is growing continuously. He even vaguely feels a sense of An unprecedented tide is about to sweep the whole world, if their Crab Island can't keep up with this tide, it will definitely fall completely!
