On the bustling street in the center of Ontario city, a "railway" appeared that everyone except the genetic man thought was very magical.
This kind of railway is very old and is paved with thin rails.
Basically, it is similar to the one given to Cixi by the late Qing Dynasty.
The trains above are also very old and still need to burn coal.
But even so, the appearance of this kind of train shocked many people who had defected to the Song Empire and a few white people.
They don¡¯t know that there are still such technological products in the world.
And this kind of train can carry people, and it can carry a lot of people at one time.
It can also be loaded with cargo.
It can pull much more than a horse-drawn carriage.
Fortunately, the track is not very long, it is just a section in the city center, connecting the north and south directions of the city.
And Song Hu gritted his teeth and used this train not as a freight type but as an intercity train for urban transportation.
Speaking of the origin of this train, it¡¯s still a little bit funny.
Originally, these two trains were a project of a famous scenic spot in a certain Chinese city, but because there were very few people going to this scenic spot, the sightseeing train became a decoration.
In the end, the city¡¯s tourism bureau replaced the project.
But what to do with these dismantled railway tracks and trains?
This thing can only be scrapped as scrap metal, or it has been abandoned in the garbage disposal site.
When Song Hu got the news from someone, he immediately became interested, and after spending a huge amount of money, he got the sightseeing train and rails.
And at his request, we continued to produce several kilometers of rails and sold them to him.
In this way, Lake Ontario City has such a transportation line running from north to south.
Although this thing is rubbish, it is absolutely amazing in this era.
After all, with Song Hu¡¯s ability, there is no way to build a railway or anything like that.
Therefore, it is still a very good choice to use this scrapped sightseeing car as an urban transportation vehicle.
Nowadays, the construction of Ontario City has entered a climax stage, and various construction sites can be seen everywhere.
Of course, although it cannot be compared with that of later generations, it is still extremely popular in this era.
Since winter has entered, Song Hu began to vigorously dig coal to provide it to Manhattan and for his own use.
With these coals, this winter will be better.
At the same time, a kind of iron stove became popular in Ontario City, and sales were very hot.
And because of Manhattan Island¡¯s bumper harvest, a variety of fresh vegetables are flowing into Ontario City, adding a lot of ingredients to the recipes of urban residents.
Although it is now autumn, the supply of vegetables that are easy to store, such as cabbage, potatoes, green onions, and radishes, is still open.
It can be said that Ontario and Manhattan, the two cities that were first established, have entered a virtuous cycle.
The issue of food has been solved.
What Zhang Tie and Song Hu need to consider now is how to better plan urban construction in a short period of time¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
Zhao Hongyu returned to the castle in Manhattan, and after settling down the women of the Samuel family and Cassandra, he came to the conference room with Zhang Tie and Wang Shan.
Emma and Sarah went to Manhattan Island to pick up Zhao Hongyu¡¯s father-in-law, Black Bear.
"It's rare that Zhao Hongyu is free now.
In the conference room, Zhao Hongyu asked incredulously what happened in Manhattan after they left.
Zhang Tie also told Zhao Hongyu the truth, giving Zhao Hongyu a clear understanding.
Pirate attack!
The church forces are plotting secretly!
All of this was told to Zhao Hongyu by Zhang Tie.
After listening to Zhang Tie¡¯s story, Zhao Hongyu realized that so many things had happened after he left.
At the same time, he was also very angry with the church people for actually daring to cause trouble on their own territory.
This also strengthened his decision not to let the church¡¯s tentacles extend on the American continent.
At the same time, regarding the emergence of iron fishing boats and disposable copycat rocket launchers, Zhao Hongyu said:aroused great interest.
Because of the emergence of this kind of weapon, in addition to being very useful at sea, it also has great benefits for the army.
It is conceivable that the heavily armored battleship is equipped with this kind of rocket launcher. When the two ships get close to each other, before they can launch a bombardment, the sailors on their side can carry the rocket launcher and deal a fierce blow to the enemy.
Since the warships of this era were all made of wooden hulls, the explosion of this rocket launcher was very destructive.
And if it is equipped to the army, it is easy to carry and simple to operate, which is better than artillery.
Not to mention more, there are a hundred copycat rocket launchers, which are enough to blast through the opponent's formation and cause large-scale damage.
"Your Highness, although this weapon has shown its powerful power after the pirate incident, this thing is a copycat after all, so its stability is not very good."
Seeing how excited Zhao Hongyu was, Zhang Tie had to pour cold water on Zhao Hongyu to calm him down.
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu showed a very curious expression.
Zhang Tie said seriously to Zhao Hongyu: "First of all, it is a bit difficult to manufacture this kind of rocket launcher, and because the virtual world involves weapons, Chen Zhenbang simply does not dare to provide technology and help in this area. But after we made it ourselves, Due to problems with the steel pipe, the chamber often explodes during use, or the rocket may miss the target too much."
Wang Shan on the side listened to Zhang Tie's words and said curiously: "Then just solve these two problems. This shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Zhao Hongyu also nodded repeatedly, apparently agreeing with Wang Shan's statement.
Yes, if there is a problem, just solve it. This shouldn¡¯t be very difficult.
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Zhang Tie let out a long sigh.
"Your Highness, you don't know. These steel pipes are all obtained from the virtual world, and they are produced in China." When he said this, the look on Zhang Tie's face was really gritting his teeth. "As for the things produced by Huaxia, you don't know that it is difficult to guarantee the quality. And because of our own current technological reasons, we cannot even produce such steel pipes, so the copycats made of these steel pipes That¡¯s why rocket launchers have such quality problems.¡±
After hearing what Zhang Tie said, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan understood.
It turns out that it was a series of problems caused by the quality of the steel pipes.
But as Zhang Tie said, this problem is not something they can solve now.
After all, Huaxia¡¯s products are really It¡¯s okay not to mention them.
How could Zhao Hongyu, who came from a later generation, not know the virtues of Huaxia¡¯s products?
Don¡¯t watch TV, newspapers and various media bragging about how good your country¡¯s products are all day long.
In fact, everyone who has used it knows that it is a waste.
Therefore, when Zhang Tie said that the steel pipes were defective and substandard, they were of poor quality, Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t find it strange at all.
Huaxia products are indeed like this.
¡°And Zhang Tie is right. Although the steel pipes purchased from the virtual world are substandard, with the technological power they currently have, they cannot even manufacture such low-quality steel pipes.
So, how can they solve these existing problems?
"Let's make do with it, although it is dangerous. But we can't give up this powerful weapon that is relatively cutting-edge in this era because of the danger."
In the end, it was Wang Shan who spoke and set the tone.
Hearing what Wang Shan said, Zhang Tie and Zhao Hongyu both nodded.
Yes, although this kind of copycat rocket launcher has flaws of one kind or another.
But in this era, it is a high-precision product.
And its powerful and lethal characteristics are destined to make Zhao Hongyu and the others unable to abandon it.
"How long does it take to make this thing?"
Zhao Hongyu asked.
"We will make one piece every half a month, not counting the loading of gunpowder and so on. If we count everything, we can make one piece a month."
A month is a bit long.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu clicked his lips and felt that the production time was too long.
"This is just one workshop. There are fifty such workshops in Ontario. Because of the lack of skilled workers, there is no way to expand it."
Zhang Tie said to Zhao Hongyu.
Fifty workshops can produce fifty copycat rocket launchers in one month.
Strictly speaking, this amount is not too small.
There are 600 pieces in one year, which is barely enough to equip the fleet and the army.
Zhao Hongyu knows that sometimes he can't force things too hard.
After all, technological things cannot be too demanding.
Now that Song Hu has come up with this thing, it is already very good.
It¡¯s better than nothing.
"Can iron fishing boats operate in distant seas?"
After figuring out the copycat rocket launcher, Zhao Hongyu asked about the iron fishing boat.
In his opinion, iron fishing boats are also a problem worthy of attention.
Zhang Tie shook his head: "Impossible, these are offshore fishing vessels, and they are seriously aging. It is impossible to sail on high seas. During the last pirate war, there were actually three ships with rotten engines. So we can only put these fishing boats into use at critical times."
When talking about this issue, Zhang Tie was a little bit dumbfounded.
"Why does such a problem occur?"
The corners of Zhao Hongyu¡¯s eyes twitched.
After Zhang Tie smiled bitterly, he explained to Zhao Hongyu: "Your Highness, there is nothing unreasonable about this. Because these iron fishing boats are all going to be scrapped in the virtual world. They were originally used to eliminate aging things, but we are using them now. , how could such a problem not arise?"
Grandma, is this where we collect garbage?
Zhao Hongyu thought to himself after listening to Zhang Tie's explanation. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
