Chapter 629 Vaccines and New Weapons

“Three, two, one, detonate!”

Boom— !

Under the control of the blasting engineer who has gradually mastered the charge, a small hill was directly blown up by most of it, making way for the steel giant dragon to move forward.

The chief engineer behind the “Binhai Railway Company” waved his hand:

“Continue construction!”

Hundreds of engineers held various Tools swarmed.

This site, the first to start construction, is located in the wilderness between Fort Lauderdale and Key West. Although it is mainly dominated by plains, there are various terrains along the way, including river valleys and hillsides. , forest, grassland.

It is also to allow railway workers to familiarize themselves with the laying process and conduct large-scale military training.

At this time, in the construction team recruited by the Coastal Railway Company, the Anuma slaves and the carefully selected free people in the territory each accounted for half, and some soldiers were also recruited into the army of the territory. Army Corps.

As long as the “Fort Lauderdale-Key West” section can be built, there is not much room for them in the vast land along the waterfront.

In addition, there is an official wizard and three wizard apprentices of the “Mechanical Immortality School” who are in charge of supervising the work in turn, so that they can solve any problems in time.

Besides, the “Georgia Corridor” is originally a single-track railway, and there is only one main line in the transportation section, which is far less complicated than a double-track or double-track railway.

The single line is not only for one-way running, but also two-way running. However, in the same section or in the same block zone, only one train is allowed to run at the same time, and the intersection of the opposite train and the overtaking of the same-direction train need to be carried out in the station or the avoidance line.

In the era when the steam industry in this territory is just starting, the single-track railway is enough to meet the capacity requirements of the territory.

The construction period of the entire 368-kilometer Georgia Corridor is expected to be one year. After the infrastructure team is trained, the construction speed of the entire Phalatis colony will only be faster.

In addition, the Appalachian mountain range that runs through the north and south is rich in coal, and every station along the railway can provide sufficient fuel, and the logistics can be said to be without pressure.

Standing on a hillside not far away, Alwin silently nodded with his gemstone cane in his hand:

“My road to infrastructure madness officially starts here. ”

He has already received news that the first group of Ilya refugees who arrived with fleet has landed in St. Alwin, and combined with the news they brought, it can be expected that there will be a large number of refugees from Ilya in the future. A new immigrant with no possessions.

Many even came here as indentured slaves desperate for a new job to support their families.

These people should be enough to get this massive railroad project off the ground.

In this process, Alwin will also take advantage of the first-mover advantage to formulate standards, starting from the determination of the track width of 1500mm, the standard for steam locomotives is consistent, and then to seize the technical high ground in the field of railway transportation.

With this as a starting point, any region that uses the technology of the Coastal Railway Company in the future must follow their standards. Help Alwin gain absolute right to speak in this industry, even a monopoly.

“This is the orbit of a steam locomotive? Can this creation really hold more than a merchant ship, and faster than a galloping horse?”

By Alwin’s side , Anthony and Dilis looked down at the construction site in a frenzy with twinkling eyes.

“Of course, you’ll know when it’s finished. In fact, this is one of the projects I’m going to share with the kingdom. The bigger the base, the better the effect of boosting the economy. I see it as a milestone in the steam industrial revolution!”

Alwin boasted without blush.

Actually.

Since he entered the core of the kingdom’s power last year, and Georgia has also been on the list of the kingdom’s arms suppliers, all the procedures in order to prepare for the war of retribution have been very hasty and crude.

Now it is the kingdom that wants to accept “Vulkan Metal Company” and enter the research process of the military and industrial production system led by “Violet Eye”. The results of the survey will determine Vulkan’s role in the kingdom’s industrial chain position in.

In this framework, the functions of formulating price and process standards, quickly handling international patents, initiating investment, mediating internal disputes, acting as import and export agents, and coordinating relations with governments of various countries are all available.

Alwin thinks long-term.

Industrialization is this thing, you can guide the direction yourself, but if the industry wants to really take shape, it needs thousands of follow-up researchers and industrial workers together.

Those who want to take advantage of everything have absolutely no great prospects for development. Tulip is the forefront of the development of the steam industry. Since there is this kind of east wind, it is a fool not to borrow it.

The technical team that has developed several decades, the gradually mature industrial workers, the supporting upstream and downstream industrial chain including the huge consumer market are all a huge wealth.

At least in the new continent, the spending power of other regions, except the Cyrus, who can dig gold directly from the soil, is very impressive. At least for tens or hundreds of years, the position of the center of the old continent world will not be shaken.

Just as he once commented on “Ms. Crow”, culture, system, and technology are just like heredity. Blind isolation and exclusion are inbreeding, which will lead to deformities and premature death.

The sea monster pointer, alchemy bomb, alchemy stone, sniper rifle, giant beast’s breath potion. Even the essence of many technologies of “Alchemy School”——【Legendary battleship ·Steam Fortress】are all Not to be underestimated.

Alwin naturally doesn’t make such rudimentary mistakes.

Today, Anthony and Dilis are the early liaisons who came to represent “Eye of Violet” and “Light of Alchemy”. Because of their good personal relationship with Alwin, they won the beauty of this public trip. Difference.

It can also be said to be a honeymoon.

“didn’t expect to see each other for a few years, Anthony has been successfully promoted to the official wizard, and finally you two got together. Childhood sweetheart envy others.”

Alwin was a little emotional.

He remembered that Dilis had said before that she wanted to resist the Great Family’s political marriage based only on interests and the boring life of husband and child by raising her own value.

But now that she is of marriageable age, she is still entering the hall of marriage with the children of the Great Family as her destiny is.

It’s just that the relationship between childhood sweetheart where water flows, a canal is formed, although there is the element of marriage, also has a meaningful relationship. At least married life looks very harmonious, and there is nothing wrong.

The newlyweds looked at each other and smiled sweetly, and then Anthony solemnly gave a salute:

“Alwin, thank you for entrusting me with a part of the research and development of “sonar”, plus Only by accumulating the knowledge of sound in the previous ‘sea monster song’ can we obtain the pioneering results that satisfy the promotion.”

Among the three branches of the “Alchemy School”, it needs to be completed when being promoted to the official wizard. own pioneering work. Although the requirements are far less stringent than those of the “living chemical school” upper-level wizard, but also not ordinary person can complete it simply and independently.

This kind of achievement, no matter how simple it is, is not as perfunctory as the utility model that Alwin could easily buy for two thousand dollars in his previous life.

Dilis, whose spirit strength has already reached the standard, is obviously stuck in this step.

The most direct consequence is that the official wizard Anthony already has a long lifespan, and Dilis, who is an apprentice, is still similar to a normal person. It doesn’t take a hundred years, as long as several decades later two people will be the difference between Heaven and Earth.

“It’s nothing. We worked together when we invented the ‘sea monster song’. It’s just a flash away from ‘sonar’. Maybe you don’t need my help, sooner or later. I can also think of it.

By the way, when you got married last year, I was on the battlefield and didn’t care about other things, and now I just made up the gifts for you.”

In the alchemy school, Eldest Young Lady Dilis of the “Alchemy Light” guild is the “potions” branch, and Eldest Young Master Anthony of the Kramer family of the Noble Association is the “Alchemy Tools and Enchanting Works” branch.

The Cramer Family was the Ancient Family that took root there when “Newern Harbor” was still under the aristocratic Fiefdom, and was essentially the leader of the Noble Association. Although it is not yet at the level of the fifty-nine seats in Parliament, it is only below it.

And unlike the Aymore family, which has been out of the core of the kingdom’s power for a long time, the Kramer family, who has been working hard in the kingdom, has an intricate relationship. There are several official wizards in the family who belong to the “Eye of Violet”. The potential is huge.

With the vigorous development of the steam industry, the alchemist (mechanical engineer) guild “Alchemy Light” is the only wizard subordinate force that can just and honorable appear in the public eye and under the eyes of the church.

It itself represents the general trend and trend.

In the great transformation of productivity, the “Alchemy School” is just a simple R&D department. To truly enter thousands of households, the transformation process from technology to products is indispensable. This key step is the “Alchemy School”. Light” work.

Although the Dilis family manages only the “Light of Alchemy” within the Kingdom of Phalatis, but because of the kingdom’s come out first status, its influence is already very good, and it is very different from other countries. The guilds maintain close contact and cooperation.

The two of them can be regarded as the winners in life, and they have always had a good relationship, and they have not lost contact for several years.

Even with Alwin’s current status and power, this relationship is worth his effort to continue to manage and maintain it. In his opinion, friendship and interests do not conflict, and only contacts are more stable.

“Dilis, look at this first.”

Alwin took out a bottle of “biological enzyme preparation” obtained by analyzing [Secondary Elixir] and handed it to a curious face. in the hands of Dilis.

“It comes from a tiny substance produced by the metabolism of some extraordinary organism, which is smaller than the cells recognized by human beings.

It can significantly enhance cell activity and delay aging, and as long as it can be reduced from 35 When the body function began to degenerate at the age of 20, I continued to take this medicine, which can extend the natural lifespan by 30%!”

“This”

Dilis’s body shook slightly, The first single thought is not to prolong the lifespan, but to feel that the door of a “potions” New World is slowly opening to him.

In the past, the main raw materials for the preparation of potions came from plants and biological materials in nature. And this kind of research results of exploring the micro world and discovering the mysteries of the human body make Dilis, a wizard apprentice of the “magic medicine” branch, deeply fascinated by it.

“Although the most important research direction of ‘potions’ now is ‘gain’, its fundamental purpose is still ‘healing’. In addition to this life-extending potion, I can also provide you with a The research direction also belongs to the field of biopharmaceutical products, that is, vaccines!”

Vaccines are made by artificially attenuating and inactivating pathogenic microorganisms (such as bacterial viruses, etc.) and their metabolites. An autoimmune preparation for the prevention of infectious diseases.

If it can come out, it is bound to be a milestone great invention in modern medicine.

The two people are confused by this strange new term:

“Vaccine?”

Alwin gave them a mysterious smile:

“Let’s go, let’s talk about this in detail another day. It’s time to get down to business. You have come all the way to the new continent. First, let you see the new weapons developed by ‘Vulkan Metal Company’ and experience it firsthand. Talk about martial arts!”
