Chapter 390 The Mage's Solution
"Moshen, are we leaving now?"
"Yes, we'll set off now. The route has been set. The starting point is Jinghu Lake, and we'll go to Hongfeng City first. After a short stop in Hongfeng City, we'll pass through four cities, making short stops in each of them, and finally arrive at the capital of Morse.
After reaching the capital, we will turn back, but take a different route, circling the Morse Kingdom, stopping in each city for a while to announce the formation of the alliance to the entire kingdom. "
"What about the railroad tracks?"
A guild leader asked with a frown.
"Can it be called a train without rails? It is at most a freight train. The carrying capacity and efficiency of freight trains are not at the same level as those of trains.
Mo Shen, we know that the realization of trains requires certain technical requirements and extremely strong heavy industry and infrastructure.
So we can wait, we can help Mo Shen complete this part of the infrastructure, after all, we are all allies.
Mo Shen, really, there is no need to be so anxious."
After the president finished speaking, other presidents responded one after another.
"Yes, Mo Shen, you will definitely not have any problems with the technology, we are assured of that.
But building a railway that encircles the entire Kingdom of Mors requires a huge amount of steel and a large construction team.
We are not the kind of people who would sit back and enjoy the fruits of others’ labor. As allies, we will contribute what we should.
Next, we will increase steel smelting and increase steel production as much as possible. It is also acceptable to use trucks for the transition at this stage.
Mo Shen, I still say the same thing, you don’t have to be too anxious, we believe in you, and we can all wait.
We prefer a real train that is the result of a lot of hard work and struggle to a hasty train gimmick."
"When did I say this was a gimmick?"
Mo Lan listened to what the president said and suddenly laughed.
The presidents below looked at each other when they heard this.
" A train is nothing more than a gimmick."
"Who said that trains must have rails?"
Hearing Mo Lan's question, a guild president smiled bitterly.
"Moshen, there is no point in saying this. Trains need rails because they are heavy and must be supported by rails and sleepers.
And if the weight of the train is reduced to a level that ordinary ground can bear, then it will be a freight train.
Moreover, the existence of rails can ensure that no one occupies the road, and the train only needs to accelerate. In short, trains are much superior to trucks in carrying capacity and running speed.
Mo Shen, the reason why a train is a train is because of its huge carrying capacity and carrying speed. If it does not have these capabilities, then even if you call it a train, it is not a train. "
Many presidents looked at Mo Lan with some disappointment. In their opinion, Mo Lan had been blinded by his achievements, which forced them to re-examine Mo Lan as a person.
"well."
Someone sighed.
"Moshen, we need to be logical when doing things. Without rails, where would the train come from?"
Mo Lan smiled when he heard that.
"Your thinking is still imprisoned. This is a game, not logic.
Oh, that's not right either, it should be said that this is a game, there are magical spells here, and it's different from reality."
Mo Lan said softly. Everyone was stunned when they heard it. Looking at the confident Mo Lan, their hearts suddenly skipped a beat.
"Everyone, get on board and follow me to witness the first train run."
Upon hearing this, many guild presidents turned their heads to look at the train. The black and gold locomotive was as tall as a floor and about six meters wide. It was a huge monster. The players standing next to it looked extremely small, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Obviously, Mo Lan did not follow the actual track width, but made a bold move to widen it. Even the width of the train body was doubled.
Of course, in order to better disperse the pressure, there are four iron wheels at the bottom of the train, and there must be four corresponding tracks.
This design is unprecedented and impossible to appear in reality. I don’t know whether it is good or not, but it looks okay.
Behind the locomotive is a wizard tower, which is only fifteen meters high and looks like a .
Further back is a flat carriage. The wheels are made of iron, the axles are made of iron, and the frame is also made of iron, but on top of the frame is actually a flat stone slab.
The main structure of this train is made of stone.
On the first section are stone chairs, and on the second and third sections are towering stone tablets. Nineteen covenants are engraved on the white jade-like stone tablets.
No one knew what Mo Lan was up to, but no one said anything. They walked onto the train in silence and sat down on the open-air stone seats.
From time to time, there are sounds.
"Iron is a precious thing. Not only do you have to repair the tracks, but you also have to guard them day and night after the construction, otherwise they will definitely be pried away by others. A short section of track is probably worth a fortune in this era."
“Indeed, but it will take time to increase steel production, during which time we can slowly consider and resolve this issue.
Maybe Mo Lan has the right spell to solve this problem? Constant spell models are basic skills for them."
"Well, I hope so."
Judging from the voices that drifted into his ears from time to time, although these presidents got on the bus, they still did not look favorably upon Mo Lan.
In reality, building railways is easy because there is a strong country behind it with a strong heavy industrial base.
Without a strong heavy industrial base, all trains would be just nonsense.
Although steel production is simple, it can be a direct indicator of whether a country is strong in a certain period of time.
Mo Lan smiled and shook his head, without saying anything else. Facts speak louder than words.
He really couldn't produce enough steel to lay a circle of four tracks around the Kingdom of Morse, or even a fraction of it.
He even had a lot of trouble building a pure iron train. Iron was a thing that was still used in the Middle Ages, but if we want to enter the modern era... no amount of iron would be enough. Modernization is built on steel.
The technology in reality can be called metal technology, and the demand for metals is evident.
But why must we use steel? If we use steel, what difference does it make from modern civilization? How dare we call it a wizard civilization?
Since they dare to call it a mage civilization, there must be a solution, a mage's solution.
"Let's go!"
As soon as Mo Lan finished speaking, he suddenly felt the fire elemental world becoming restless. All the special engine units in the locomotive started up, and surging power was about to burst out.
Everyone felt the vibration of the train and looked at Mo Lan quietly .
We have the power, but where are the tracks?
Everyone saw Mo Lan's mouth curled up slightly, and then the spell fluctuations on the mage tower behind the front of the car became increasingly violent.
A ray of ochre-colored light fell, and in an instant four smooth, dense stone tracks extended from under the train wheels into the distance.
Everyone was stunned.
