Chapter 229: A New Road

The magical civilization has very little destructive power to the environment, and it is naturally completely bearable, after all, taking electrical appliances as an example, pulling any person on the streets of Avaranga can be used as a battery.

I believe we all understand that small damage does not mean no, living space, fields required for cultivation, development of metal minerals, any kind of living in the world will have a certain degree of impact on the environment, but there are big and small, and the impact of intelligent organisms on the environment is undoubtedly great.

We cut down trees because we need to live, to cook and keep warm, we set fire to wasteland because we need more space for farming, to grow plants that are edible or have other functions [medicinal, cotton and linen], we clear the grass because we need space to build houses.

The destructive power that a person can have to nature is incomparable to that of wild animals in a lifetime, but the magical civilization is relatively much better.

Now they saw the destroyed area, in the wilderness full of grass and shrubs, a bare road that had been cleared out about five meters wide, but it didn't seem to be an ordinary road, according to the normal process, a group of people should have come around the road to release the magic that can petrify the road, instead of being so deserted now, it was definitely not built by the government, it may be built by private people, in many places, the national law stipulates that roads and some facilities can be built as long as permission is obtained.

The current situation was interesting, he saw a group of goblin dwarves pushing what looked like a cart in the distance, too far away to see clearly.

Albert began to think about what it was, it would definitely not be a board car, the board car was not that big, it could not reflect the sun, it would not be a train, the energy production, the maintenance cost was low, and the engine with cheap construction did not even have a shadow in this era, and there should be no local tyrant willing to burn money.

And it was propelled by human power, so what was it? Albert was standing on a stone bridge above the strange new road, which seemed to have been built to avoid overlapping with the new road, and he didn't know what the designer-builder had in mind when he built it, thinking like this, looking at something so far away that he couldn't see clearly.

"Why don't you go over and have a look?" she couldn't figure out, "let's see what it is." ”

"Whatever, it's still early. He looked up at the position of the sun, and judging by its position and the small moon of one of the two moons orbiting Cederas, it was now only nine o'clock in the morning, and it would not be wrong to convert it to nine o'clock in the day.

Cecilia jumped off the bridge three or four meters high as soon as she finished speaking, and she still had the leisure to do two front flips, with a few difficult dives, and then walked in the direction of the cart, and stood there two steps and looked back, waiting for him to come down, and there was a hint of provocation in those eyes.

That made him raise his eyebrows against the guardrail, bounced on the spot a few times, took a few steps back, and then suddenly accelerated and ran, stepping on the low stone guardrail on the side of the bridge and jumping, the inertia after the run pushed him forward, the strong bounce force brought by the inhuman physique made him jump to a height beyond the limit of ordinary people, the twisting of the waist force and muscles allowed him to successfully flip in mid-air, until, flipped to the angle he wanted, the whole body was forcibly straightened without borrowing force, the left leg was bent, the right leg was straightened, that is, flying kick.

With the explosion of dirt and landing, Albert found that he didn't seem to have a good angle, which made his leg a little numb, but it was not injured, and he quietly turned his ankle and pretended that nothing had happened [this kind of low-level mistake is a bit embarrassing].

"It's just the next bridge, why do you have to be more handsome than anyone?" he asked, "what's the comparison?"

"Anyway, I think it's funny. "Okay, okay, whatever. He tapped her head, feeling that her feet were still a little numb, and quietly milked himself as usual [Healing Technique] and continued to pretend that nothing had happened, walking in front, "Anyway, it's not in a hurry." ”

They were walking towards the strange vehicle, and the strange vehicle was slowly approaching them, and many people were surrounding the vehicle, so tightly encircled that it was like a wall, making it even more impossible to see the specific structure of the car behind the human wall, and what the hell was the group of people doing, they needed to get closer, the hot sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on their bodies, which made people feel bored again, but it was nothing, the water vapor condensed, and became two ice umbrellas covered with a layer of black mud on top, two simple but effective parasols。

Cecilia was always curious, and the closer she got closer, the more surprised she became, compared to Albert's more exciting.

His expression changed from casual to astonished, then frowning, and finally returning to his usual form, looking at the delicate object, or rather the vehicle, with a gaze that resembled that of a work of art.

He could already see and understand what the people were doing: it was a not very complex structure, this strange structure of the car had four wheels, and there was a platform with a lever in the center of the small car board, no one was standing on it for the time being, they were all standing on the dirt and pushing it, and the runes of magic came out of people's hands, acting on the dirt road, making a special stone road structure emerge, called "over there", it had a name, called a track.

This all-metal thing, powered by levers, crankshafts, gears and other mechanical devices, he knew and had seen it, on Earth, its name was [Human-powered Rail Car], and in this magical civilization, it appeared much earlier than the train.

"Excuse me, what are you doing?" he pulled a halfling who was following behind the cart line, "What is this?"

"How do I know, it's just a matter of watching the excitement, isn't it?" the man turned his head impatiently to look at the [strange caravan] that was being pushed on the stone tracks that were constantly being made, "Anyway, I heard them say that with this, there is no need for a caravan, and at most it can transport things to a place that would have been a little farther away for two or three days. ”

The men were still pushing the railcars, and as they went, they used magic to create the tracks, and they weren't too slow, and soon, the new gadget seemed to be accepted by many people.

"How useful is it for such a strange-looking car?" Cecilia looked at the ancient monster she had never seen before, "Is it that fast?" "It should really be that fast." "It should stretch the curvy road into a straight line, and that lever will transfer the driver's force to the wheels without much effort, and the great advantage of this kind of thing is that it can carry more things with the help of tools, and the physical exertion is not great, compared to the professional." "That's right... ”

It will shorten the cargo transportation time, it also has some shortcomings, the cargo loading of the [Human-powered Rail Car] is still limited, but relatively speaking, it will be much more convenient after having it, and it is a near-perfect solution for the people here.

"If that's all true. She nodded, "I hope there's this thing back home." "There will always be, and if it works, there will always be people who will try it." "I hope so. ”
