#1114 Steam Train (Two)

The successful manufacture of the first steam train has made Wanjie Civilization lively for a period of time in the future.

Only one locomotive was produced by the Science and Technology Institute of Mingjing City. As for the production of the carriages at the back, they were directly placed in the Western Region.

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

And when the locomotive arrives there, the carriages at the back will be finished long ago, and they will be ready for use.

For this kind of big news that the people want to see and that is constantly causing hot topics, the newspapers naturally track and report all the way, and continue to maintain the popularity 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, which is considered to be killing two birds with one stone.

With the passage of time, along with the official launch of the steam train, the popularity of this matter has officially climbed to its peak.

The railway stations of Gaoling City and Horn City in the west border were crowded by the crowd who came to join in the fun.

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

Aside from the experiment, this day was the first official start of the steam train.

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

To put it simply, it is to show the people and let them see with their own eyes that there is no problem with this steam train.

After all, apart from being used to transport soldiers to the border during the war, it is definitely impossible to sit idle all the time on weekdays, which would be a waste of resources, so the civilian use must also be carried out simultaneously.

There is no dawdling. After all the materials to be transported this time have been moved into the carriage, the door is closed, and soon, with the sound of 'woo-', the steam engine running at high speed drives the entire steam train to slow down. Move slowly.

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

The onlookers who were so excited and shocked almost made a noise in the train station.

The speed of the steam train started to get 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 thick smoke.

This scene was so shocking that they were unable to squeeze into the train station at that time, so the countless people who ran to the outside of the city to look at it stared straight at it.

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

Unsurprisingly, this photo finally appeared on the headlines of the current weekly newspaper, and suddenly detonated the heat from the 'steam train'!

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

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

It is estimated that most of these people who buy tickets have nothing at all. They simply want to take a ride on this so-called steam train to experience it, satisfy their curiosity, and gain knowledge. Anyway, fifty yuan a train ticket is not expensive.

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

Of course, this is only limited to Gaoling City and Horn City. The people of other cities are still there screaming and discussing endlessly. What they can't get is always restless. That's what they say.

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

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

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

And that is, one month after the Westland steam train was put into use, a middle-aged elf who looked quite young came to the outside of Horn City.

This elf's name is Wei Lun, and he is now eight hundred and ninety-one years old. Among the elf clan, he can be regarded as a middle-aged and older elf. The reason why he is in the Western Region is because of his work. He is an elf naturalist, good at greening and improving the natural environment.

The desolation and barrenness of the Western Territory is obvious to all. The stinky drunkards of the dwarves have no awareness of protecting nature at all, which is why the Western Territory is such a mess.

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

This time, Weilun came here, no doubt for the inspection. Only after confirming the situation first, can he continue his follow-up work.

However, it was a coincidence that at this time, the steam locomotive just happened to pass quickly over the distant railway tracks, and the billowing smoke from the train chimney set off the steam locomotive as if it was lying on the railway tracks. The monsters above made Wei Lun's brows wrinkle unconsciously.

Weilun 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 black-and-white photos in the newspaper were not particularly clear, and the feeling was obviously different from what I saw with my own eyes.

At this moment, looking at the steam train passing by quickly with thick smoke, a thought flashed in Weilun's eyes.

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

Immediately after a month passed, an accident happened. On the southern side, the railway and railway station projects that were being constructed were strongly protested by a large number of elf people. The whole project was interrupted abruptly. The team members arrived one after another, but they failed to stop the situation.

In this way, an emergency 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 council hall, suddenly had a gloomy expression on his face.

Luo Ji obviously did not expect such a thing to happen.

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

At the same time, this practice was quickly supported by a large number of elves, and then there is the current situation.

The update is sent, and thanks to the book friends 'hllloguoll', 'Chiling', 'Xiluo', 'Wu Daozi', 'Buried Love', 'Epithelial tissue skin test', 'Reverse positive' monthly passes!
