The Troublesome Hero Among the Heroes

A big disadvantage of the ground dragons that pull carts compared to locomotives is that they are too easy to fatigue, although they will drink some "energy drinks" and eat when they stop at each station. Some "energy food", but the flesh and blood body still needs to rest after all.

After eight hours of running, the train was replaced with a new batch of ground dragons and animal trainers in a larger city, and then they pulled the train to move on.

Those terrestrial dragons who have been running for a long time will eat and drink in the breeding farm here, have a simple physical examination, and then take another trip after sleeping for a night. The train returns to Reed City. For every four days they pull the car, there will be one day off.

Not long after being on the road again, Charles met the conductor who had come to report to Elizabeth who was working on the documents, and then asked him about the railway situation while the conductor was free.

The large-scale construction of the Spirit Race railway started three hundred years ago, and after more than two hundred years of development, a "three horizontal and five vertical" railway network was finally built.

It is precisely for this railway network that the elves do everything in order to make money. For example, the high profits of cosmetics and healing potions exported by the elves are almost all invested in the construction and maintenance of the railway network. .

While building the railway network, the elves swallowed up a large amount of steel production capacity on the continent.

At the same time, the elves also took advantage of the opportunity of building a railway network to complete the rapid upgrade of metallurgy, machinery manufacturing, communications, and construction industries.

Complementing the railway network is the construction of a national road network project with railways as the backbone, stations as nodes, two-lane roads as branch lines, and roads built according to local conditions as the tip.

After the completion of this national road network system, any place on the Spirit Race site will be passed by any railway within 150 kilometers.

After completing the construction of the railway network of the Spirit Tree Sea, the Spirit Railway Construction Corporation began a larger project. They contracted the construction of the railway network of the Kingdom of Rurik in the west. The project has not yet been completed.

After Charles listened to the conductor's account, sweat came out of his forehead.

He didn't expect the Spirit Race to be so terrifying. It seems that this "Village Master" is about to come out.

The conductor sat for a while and talked about the development history of the railway and then left. Dinner time is ready, and he has to deal with this matter.

When taking a long-distance bus, many people were so excited when they first got on the bus, they couldn't stop chatting. But when the car was driving for a period of time, most of the passengers lost their energy.

Now Mira and Modred have ran to the empty seats next to them and lie down asleep. Only Diana is sitting across from Charles, with his head next to the window looking outside. I don’t know if it’s a daze or What are you thinking about.

Charles is also leaning against the window, watching the sunset outside the window, the farmer who is returning home from the harvested rice field after taking care of winter soybeans, is covered with vegetables that are still green in winter. The peasant woman walking towards the village with a long watering spoon for watering, the young man in the orchard taking advantage of the last sunshine to trim the branches of the Fruit Tree, and the child carrying a basket and following his parents who have just completed the canal with a staff... Although it has entered winter and the new year is approaching, everything on this land is still so vibrant.

In this place close to the tropics, even in winter, it is still lush and green.

At this time, Charles had already overturned the table in his heart.

Why did the said good spirit love nature, fresh and elegant, suddenly jump on the road of infrastructure madness?

Although they are all long ears, your ears are long horizontally, not upright!

Just as he complained in his heart, the conductor brought dinner.

On a large bowl of rice, there is a piece of fat and thin pork, and the rich and fragrant broth drips on the pork, and then seeps into the rice. Beside the meat, there are some shredded sauerkraut. Sent with the buckle pork rice, there is also a bowl of egg drop soup.

Originally, there was a marinated egg in someone's bowl, but now it has been in Modred's bowl, and then half of the marinated egg from Mira's bowl appeared in the bowl.

From the front kitchen, passing through the first few passenger cars, the soup and the meal here, let Charles see a lot of things.

The bottom of the train car is not directly loaded with wheels on the bottom of the car as many people imagine, but the car body sits on the bogie.

Now a bowl of egg drop soup is placed on the small table in front of you, and the water is slightly shaken but not spilled, indicating that the bogie at the bottom of the car has a good level, which has greatly increased The stability and comfort of the carriage.

This also shows from the side that Spirit Race has a very high level in the manufacture of bearings and springs.

It can be deduced that the level of materials, machining and design in Spirit Race will not be low.

Charles feels that this is an upgrade route for the elves to avoid the locked-up power system, and find another way to improve their technical level from other aspects.

Although the efficiency of pulling a cart with the ground and dragon is too low compared to the front of a machine, the money earned is not enough for routine maintenance.

But from another aspect, the railway network facilitates the logistics and transportation between the Spirit Race sites, which will inevitably promote economic development.

Charles suddenly thought of his mysterious and secretive Old Ancestor, maybe this is the game he set up back then?

If he anticipates that someone will break through the limitations of the power system in the future, then when that day comes, it will happen that the spirit race of railways and other locomotives will achieve despair in the railway field. Advantage.

Imagine a group of elves who have been building railways from scratch for two to three hundred years, a group of engineering and management talents with two to three hundred years of work experience, and a group of professionals with two to three hundred years of train operation experience. People...In front of these Epic Grade professionals, how can humans compare with them?

Then he thought about the wind turbine he had built in Abyss City a while ago, when he heard someone discussing about railways.

"It's a big game!" Charles thought.

He doesn’t dare to underestimate Spirit Race and demon race, which have a unified history of four-digit years. After the shackles of the breakthrough power system, who knows what unscientific but magical technical reserves they will come up with Come, and "Duang" will get the train out in one click.

Finally, he thought of those transmigrators and descendants who invented paper and later annihilated in history, he couldn't help but sweat again on his head, maybe he would repeat their mistakes.

However, Reimu didn't look like she was going to kill herself. She gave herself a big gift bag before going out. It seems that the god didn't care about it?

Charles didn't know that he was staying motionless with a fork in the meat, and he was being watched now.
