"As he spoke, Alexandre Dumas sighed: "When will the steam train be opened? I really can't wait to see what other people think! "Soon."

"Lucifer said, "I can't wait to watch it too.

"As long as the steam train starts operating, saving time for communication and transportation in different places, then the process of this world will speed up! Let the industrial revolution come more violently! Chapter 9 and 7 Steam Train Operation (Nutritional Solution Added) More) One morning, before the morning fog had dispersed, people appeared one after another on both sides of the railway track near the Eden Station, standing there doing nothing as if waiting for something, communicating quietly with others. With.

The railway tracks here have actually only been laid for a few years. They were projects raised by caravans from various cities to make travel more convenient.

Ordinary people would habitually ask more experienced caravans to take them if they wanted to go elsewhere. Therefore, only caravans were worried about the wear and tear of their carriages, and in order to solve this problem, they issued a reward for help.

The result they got was railroad tracks.

Railroad rails not only slow down the wear of wheels, but also allow horse-drawn wagons to travel more steadily.

In this way, businessmen from several cities united and spent several years laying railroad tracks along the routes that the caravans were familiar with. The number of participating cities was still increasing, and the businessmen spent money every year to repair the sections of their own cities. The railway can be regarded as the blacksmith's annual fixed income.

As for the horses occasionally being disobedient and insisting on pulling the cart to a route other than the railway track, causing the cart to overturn...that is an unexpected income for the osteopathic doctor...and now, in fact, this is still a young railway, and horse-drawn carriages have to be run on it. other means of transportation.

Yes, what made everyone rush to the empty railway track early in the morning to wait was naturally the steam train that people had been talking about for a while.

Starting the day before yesterday, the Eden Chamber of Commerce began to notify each other to free up time this morning and not to occupy the No. 1 railway track.

If a certain railway track is suddenly not allowed to be used, people must ask why? Then naturally, they were told that because the steam train had to go on the rails for experiments and adjustments, it could not stop in time like a horse-drawn freight train once it started. Therefore, in order to avoid accidental injuries, it was hoped that the line would be vacated directly.

After hearing the news, the businessmen who had long been interested in steam trains naturally did everything they could. They adjusted their routes one after another, and some even postponed their departure time, just to see with their own eyes what the steam train looked like in action. .

This news was not kept secret, so many residents of Eden also heard about it, so now there are so many people waiting on both sides of the railway.

Lucifer was also standing in the crowd, but he was wearing low-key clothes and a hat to block his face, intending to come and see the operation of the steam train in a low-key manner.

He looked down at the track, which was originally built for horse-drawn wagons.

In order to make it easier for horses to move in the middle, the design of this railway track is simple. It is just paved with one track on each side. It is not like the track on Earth that is built into an I-shaped track for reasons such as the stability of the track.

However, the width of the rails is satisfactory. It is designed according to the width of the two-horse wagons commonly used by caravans. Therefore, when designing the steam train, it was also designed according to the same width - in this respect, it is the same as on the earth. , all designed according to the double hip width, the width of the tram, the width of the rails, the width of the train... are the same.

Others may not know it, but as an investor, Lucifer is still very clear about the steam train's itinerary.

At this moment, the steam train should have set off from the assembly position to the suburbs. In addition to the person responsible for controlling the cab, there are also two people responsible for refueling the steam train, and he stuffed it in as a doctor just in case. Raphael.

According to his calculations, the steam train would probably pass by this inn soon, and then... the roar from the distance interrupted Lucifer's thoughts. Like the people around him, he subconsciously leaned forward and headed towards Look in the direction of the sound.

Accompanied by a strong rhythmic bang-dang-dang sound, a steel creation broke through the morning fog and broke into everyone's field of vision.

Amid everyone's exclamations, the steam train that kept emitting white smoke above passed through this section of the railway without stopping, and then disappeared into the mist at the other end of the track, leaving only the bang, bang, bang, and "woo woo" "The sound made it clear that the scene just now was not an illusion.

"S-succeeded!" A person suddenly shouted, "I can go to Utopia!" "Oh oh oh!!! Success!!!" Although some people present actually had no need to go to other places, but The positive publicity that Lucifer did before was really good. Just imagining the convenience of travel in the future made everyone happy.

Just because there is no demand now, doesn’t mean there won’t be in the future. If you have time, it would be good to see what other cities are like.

Two days ago, Satan finally wrote the social research summary report on the Garden of Eden with the help of Raphael.

According to the data in the report, only about 20% of people are aware of the impact of steam engines on certain jobs. Compared with the early days, the number of people has increased, but the proportion is still small. As for those who are opposed to the operation of steam trains There are even fewer people with an attitude. Most people are still looking forward to the arrival of the steam age - although their trust comes from the church.

Most people felt that since the church did not stop it, it meant that the problem was not big and it would definitely be good for everyone. Therefore, they ignored some discordant voices.

Of course, this survey is not meant to survey everyone’s attitude towards the steam age. There is also some very useful data that Lucifer thinks will be used in the future, such as acceptance of food, and small groups such as mahjong and skipping. The support of activities and the like provide a good reference for Lucifer.

Just when everyone was happily thinking about the future, there was another movement from the direction of the steam train.

Lucifer took a closer look and found that it was a horse-drawn wagon.

When the owner of the carriage saw so many people gathered here, Wang Jian slowly stopped the carriage.

A businessman standing aside knew this man: "Hey! Why did you stop?" The man said helplessly: "I didn't plan to leave at first! I just wanted to try how fast this steam train is... ...It was okay at first, but then it got faster and faster. You see, just for a moment, I was completely thrown away.

His acquaintance laughed: "Hahaha, this is a good thing."

"Since the steam train is indeed faster than the carriage, just like the previous advertisement, it will be more convenient for their caravan to do business in the future... What the sage said is indeed true! He turned around and called a carriage, Have someone take you back to the store.

...There was nothing he could do. As soon as he left the store, the alarm clock was useless. There was no need to think about teleportation. He didn't want to walk back to the city center from the inn on two legs, so he had to take a carriage.

Fortunately, many economically minded carriages were parked nearby, waiting to send these onlookers back, so Lucifer successfully rode the carriage to the entrance of the Apple store.

At this time, Apple stores usually don't open. Lucifer sometimes lets himself fall asleep at night like humans do, and sometimes plays games all night long. In short, the store opening time is basically after 8 a.m.
