Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The successful manufacture of the first steam train will make the civilization of Myriad Realms lively for a period of time in the future.

    There is only one locomotive manufactured by the Science and Technology Institute of Mingjing City. As for the production of the rear carriages, they are directly placed in the West Territory.

    It's not a complicated thing. According to the craftsmanship of the dwarf blacksmiths, it can be easily done.

    And when the locomotive is delivered there, the carriages at the back have already been completed long ago, and they can be put into use directly at that time.

    For this kind of big news that the people want to see and that keeps causing heated discussions, the newspaper office naturally follows up and reports all the way to maintain the enthusiasm of this matter.

    Of course, Luo Ji was very happy about this, and by the way, he was able to mention the profit of the newspaper office, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

    With the passage of time, with the official launch of the steam train, the heat of this matter has officially reached its peak.

    The railway stations of Gaoling City and Bugle City in the western region were surrounded by crowds who came to join in the fun.

    In the end, even the garrison troops were dispatched, and the order on the scene was finally maintained.

    Leaving aside the time of the experiment, this day was the first time the steam train was officially launched.

    There were no ordinary passengers on this train. What was contained in the carriage was a batch of supplies that were going to Gaoling City, and two infantry squads responsible for escorting the supplies.

    To put it simply, it is for the public to see with their own eyes that there is no problem with this steam train.

    After all, in addition to being used to transport soldiers to the border during wartime, it is certainly impossible to be idle all the time on weekdays. That would be a waste of resources, so civilian use must also be carried out simultaneously.

    There was no delay. After all the supplies that needed to be transported were moved into the carriage, the door was closed, and soon, with the sound of the whistle of "woo¡ª¡ª", the steam engine started to run at high speed, driving the entire steam train to slow down.  Move slowly.

    The initial speed was not fast, but for people of this era, just seeing this 'black steel monster' moving was enough to cause them to exclaim.

    The emotionally excited and shocked onlookers almost set off a wave of noise in the train station.

    The steam train began to drive faster and faster, and gradually accelerated after completely leaving the train station.

    Shovel after shovel of coal was quickly fed into the boiler, and the chimney on the locomotive began to spew out billowing smoke.

    This scene was so shocking that it was watched by countless people who couldn't squeeze into the train station at that time, so they ran to the outskirts of the city to watch.

    At the same time, Xu Xiang, a reporter from the Clarion City newspaper who also failed to squeeze into the train station, took a picture of this scene outside the city because of a blessing in disguise.

    Unsurprisingly, this photo finally appeared on the headline of the current weekly newspaper, and ignited the heat from the 'steam train' at once!

    In the next few days, since there was no war on the border, the steam train temporarily put into civilian use undoubtedly caused a wave of enthusiasm.

    As soon as the ticket windows of Gaoling City and Bugle City opened, the train tickets for the day were sold out almost in a short period of time.

    It is estimated that most of the people who bought tickets have nothing to do. They just want to take this so-called steam train to experience it, satisfy their curiosity, and increase their knowledge.  Anyway, a train ticket of 50 yuan a piece is not expensive.

    This state lasted for about a week. After all the people who wanted to satisfy their curiosity came to sit, the heat of the train station began to drop significantly.

    Of course, this is limited to Gaoling City and Bugle City. The people in other cities are still screaming and discussing endlessly, always restless about what they can¡¯t get, and that¡¯s what they are talking about.

    At the same time, after stabilizing, the heat starts to drop, which is also normal.

    In the current era, steam trains will be used the most in the future. Apart from workers who go out to work and go home to visit relatives, there are only some businessmen who come out to discuss business.

    However, Luo Ji is still satisfied with this situation. Things are going smoothly. After receiving the latest report from the western border, he seems to be in a pretty good mood these two days.

    And just one month after the Western Territory steam train was put into use, a middle-aged elf who looked not too young came outside Bugle City.

    This elf's name is Wei Lun, and he is now 891 years old. Among the elves, he can be regarded as a middle-aged elf, and he is an older elf. The reason why he is in the western region is because?Because of work, he is an elf naturalist who is good at greening and improving the natural environment.

    The desolation and barrenness of the western region is obvious to all. Those drunkards of the dwarves have no sense of protecting nature at all, which is why the western region is such a mess.

    And it was precisely to improve the environment in the western region that Luo Ji specially dispatched a team of elf naturalists here.

    This time, Wei Lun came here, no doubt for the purpose of inspection, and he can only continue with his follow-up work after confirming the situation first.

    However, it is a coincidence that at this time, the steam train just passed by the distant railroad tracks quickly, and the billowing smoke from the chimney of the train made the steam train look like lying on the railroad tracks  Wei Lun frowned unconsciously like a monster on the ground.

    Wei Lun naturally knew about the existence of steam trains.

    Every issue of the newspaper in recent months has sold at least tens of millions of copies. Unless he is isolated from the world, it is impossible not to know.

    However, the not-so-clear black-and-white photo in the newspaper is obviously different from seeing it with your own eyes.

    At this moment, looking at the steam train speeding past with billowing smoke, Wei Lun's eyes flashed a hint of thought.

    In the next few days, Wei Lun, who has always been very responsible, unexpectedly handed over the inspection work to several subordinates who accompanied him, while he ran to the train station and the train tracks outside the city for several days in a row, as if  I want to confirm something.

    Immediately after a month passed, something unexpected happened. On the southern border, the railway and train station project that was being constructed was met with strong protests from a large number of elves, and the entire project was abruptly interrupted.  People from the team arrived one after another, but they failed to stop the situation.

    In this way, an urgent report was sent all the way to Mirror City at the fastest speed.

    Looking at the report in his hand, Luo Ji, who was sitting in the political hall, suddenly had a cloudy expression on his face.

    Luo Ji obviously didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

    A group of elven naturalists headed by Waylon jointly launched a protest. They believed that the thick smoke from the steam train would obviously pollute the natural environment of their elven forest, so they protested against the project in the southern border.

    At the same time, this approach quickly gained the support of a large number of elves, and then there is the current situation.
