"Yes, the train will start now. The route has been booked. It will start at Jinghu Lake and go to Red Maple City first. After a short stop in Red Maple City, it will pass through four cities and stop briefly in each, and finally arrive at the Morse Capital.
After arriving at the royal capital, we turned back and took another route, which happened to circle around the Kingdom of Morse, stopping for a period of time in each city to announce the establishment of the alliance to the entire kingdom."
"What about the rails?"
One of the presidents frowned and asked.
"If there are no rails, how can we call a train? It would be a freight train at most. The carrying capacity and efficiency of freight trains and freight trains are not of the same order of magnitude at all.
Mo Shen, we know that the realization of trains requires certain technical requirements and extremely strong heavy industry and infrastructure.
So we can wait, and we can help Mo Shen complete this part of the infrastructure together. After all, we are all in an alliance.
Mo Shen, really, there is really no need to be so anxious."
After the president finished speaking, other presidents responded one after another.
"Yes, God Mo, you definitely won't have any technical problems, we can rest assured about that.
But building a railway track around the entire Morse Kingdom would require a massive amount of steel and a huge construction team.
We are not just sitting back and enjoying the success. As an alliance, it is our turn to contribute and we will do so.
Next, we will increase steel smelting and increase steel production as much as possible. At this stage, it is also possible to transition to trucks.
Mo Shen, I still say this, you don’t have to be too hasty, we believe in you, and we can all afford to wait.
Rather than a hasty train gimmick, we are more willing to accept the real train after hard work and struggle for a long time."
"When did I say this was a gimmick?"
Mo Lan suddenly smiled after listening to what the president said below.
The president below looked at each other in confusion after hearing this.
"A train without rails is nothing but a gimmick."
“Who said trains must have rails?”
Hearing Mo Lan's question, a guild president smiled bitterly.
"God Mo, it's useless to say this. The reason why trains need rails is because the trains are heavy and must have rails and sleepers to bear them.
And if the weight of the train is reduced to the point that ordinary ground can bear it, it will be a freight train.
Moreover, the existence of rails can ensure that no one is occupying the road, and the train only needs to accelerate. In short, trains are much superior to trucks in terms of carrying capacity and running speed.
God Mo, the reason why a train is a train is because of its huge carrying capacity and speed. If not, even if you call a car a train, it is not a train."
Many presidents looked at Mo Lan with some disappointment. In their opinion, Mo Lan had been dazzled by his achievements, which forced them to look at Mo Lan again.
"well."
Someone let out a sigh.
"God Mo, you have to be logical when doing things. Without railroad tracks, where would the train come from?"
Mo Lan smiled when he heard this.
"Your thinking is still imprisoned. This is a game and does not follow logic.
Oh, this sentence is not correct either, it should be said that this is a game, there are magical spells here, and this place is different from reality."
Mo Lan said softly, and everyone was stunned when they heard the words. Looking at the confident Mo Lan, their hearts suddenly jumped.
"Everyone, please get on the train and come with me to witness the operation of the first train."
After hearing this, many presidents turned to look at the train. The black and gold locomotive was as high as a floor and about six meters wide. It was a behemoth. Standing next to it, it was extremely small, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Obviously, Mo Lan did not follow the actual track width, but boldly widened it. Even the width of the train body was doubled.
Of course, in order to better distribute the pressure, there are also four iron wheels at the bottom of the train, and there must be four corresponding tracks.
This kind of design is unprecedented and impossible to appear in reality. I don’t know whether it is good or bad, but it looks okay.
Behind the locomotive, there are ninety-one mage towers, only fifteen meters high. They are like little brothers in front of the mage towers that are more than fifty meters high.
Then there is a flat car plate, the wheels are made of iron, the axle is also made of iron, and the frame is also made of iron, but the top of the frame is actually a flat stone slab.
The main structure of this train's carriage is made of stone.
Above the first section are stone seats, above the second section, and above the third section are towering stone tablets, with nineteen covenants inscribed on the white jade-like stone tablets.
Everyone didn't know what kind of medicine Mo Lan's gourd was selling, but they didn't say anything. They walked onto the train in silence and sat down on the open-air stone seats.
There are still sounds from time to time.
"Iron is a precious thing. Not to mention the construction of rail tracks, you have to guard it day and night after the construction, otherwise it will definitely be pried away by others. A short stretch of rail track is probably priceless in this era."
"Indeed, but it will take time to increase steel production. During this time, we can slowly consider and solve this matter.
Maybe Mo Lan has a suitable spell to solve this problem? The constant spell model is a basic skill for them."
"Well, I hope so."
Judging from the sounds that floated into his ears from time to time, although these presidents got on the bus, they still were not optimistic about Mo Lan.
In reality, it is easy to build railways because there is a strong country behind it and a strong heavy industry foundation.
Without a strong heavy industry base, any train would be just nonsense.
Although steel production is simple, it can be a direct indicator of whether a country is strong or not in a certain period of time.
Mo Lan smiled and shook his head without saying anything else. Facts are stronger than words.
To lay a four-track railway track around the Kingdom of Morse, he really couldn't get out so much steel, or he couldn't even get a fraction of it.
He even went so far as to build a pure iron train. Iron is still in the Middle Ages, but if you want to enter the modern era... no amount of iron is enough to build it. Modernization
They are all built on steel.
The technology in reality can simply be called metal technology, and the demand for metals is evident.
But why must we use steel? What is the difference between using steel and modern civilization? How can we call it mage civilization?
Since we dare to call it a mage civilization, there must be a solution, and it belongs to the mage.
"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 were started, and the surging power was about to come out.
Everyone felt the vibration of the train and looked at Mo Lan quietly.
The power is there, but where are the rails?
Everyone saw the corners of Mo Lan's mouth curl up slightly, and then the spell fluctuations on the mage tower behind the front of the car gradually became violent.
An earthy yellow light fell, and instantly four smooth and dense stone rails extended from under the train wheels into the distance.
