The successful manufacture of the first steam locomotive has made the civilization of all worlds lively for a period of time in the future.

The science and technology institute of Der Spiegel City made only one locomotive, and as for the production of the carriages in the back, it was directly put in the west.

It's not that complicated, and according to the craftsmanship of the dwarven blacksmiths, it can be easily handled.

And by the time this locomotive is sent there, the carriages behind it will have been completed a long time ago, and when the time comes, it will be directly put into use.

For this kind of big news that the people want to see and constantly cause heated discussions, the newspaper office naturally tracks and reports all the way and continues to maintain the heat of this matter.

In this regard, Luo Ji is of course happy, and by the way, he can also mention the profit of the newspaper, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

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

The railway stations of Kaolin City and Clarion City in the west were surrounded by crowds who rushed to join in the fun.

In the end, it was even the garrison troops that were dispatched, and the order on the scene was finally maintained.

Leaving aside the experiments, this day was the first official start of the steam train.

There were no ordinary passengers on this trip, and the carriage was loaded with a group of supplies that were about 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, in addition to being used to transport soldiers to the border during the war, it is definitely impossible to be idle all the time on weekdays, which would be too wasteful of resources, so the civilian part must also be carried out simultaneously.

Without any friction, after all the materials that needed to be transported were moved into the carriage, the door closed, and soon, with a whistle of 'woo-', the steam engine running at high speed drove a whole steam train to move slowly.

At first, it wasn't fast, but for people of this era, just seeing this 'black steel monster' move was enough to cause them to exclaim.

The crowd of onlookers, who were so excited and shocked, almost wanted to make a wave in the train station.

The steam train began to drive faster and faster, and gradually accelerated after it was completely out of the train station.

Shovels of coal were quickly fed into the boiler, and the chimney on the locomotive began to spew billowing smoke.

This scene was so shocking that countless people who couldn't get into the train station at that time, so they ran to the outskirts of the city to watch.

At the same time, Xu Xiang, a reporter from the Horn City Newspaper who also failed to squeeze into the train station, took a photo of this scene outside the city because of a blessing in disguise.

Not surprisingly, this photo finally appeared on the headline of the current weekly report, and the heat from the 'steam train' was detonated at once!

In the following days, since there was no fighting on the border, the steam locomotives that were temporarily put into civilian use undoubtedly caused a wave of enthusiasm.

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

Among these people who buy tickets, it is estimated that most of them have nothing to do, they just want to take a ride on this so-called steam train to feel it, satisfy their curiosity, and it is good to increase their knowledge, anyway, a train ticket of fifty yuan is not expensive.

This state of affairs lasted for about a week, and by the time people who wanted to satisfy their curiosity had come to sit there, the heat of the train station began to drop significantly.

Of course, this is limited to Kaolin City and Horn City, and the people of the other cities are still screaming and talking about it, and those who can't get it are always restless, and that's what they say.

At the same time, after stabilizing, it is normal for the heat to start dropping.

In the current era, in addition to the workers who go out to work and go home to visit relatives, the only ones who will use steam trains in the future are some businessmen who come out to discuss business.

However, Luo Ji is still satisfied with this situation, things are going very well, and he has been in a pretty good mood in the past two days after receiving the latest report from the Western Border.

A month after the steam train in the West, a middle-aged elf who looked no small arrived outside Horn City.

This elf's name is Wei Lun, now eight hundred and ninety-one years old, in the elf family, it can be regarded as a middle-aged, older elf, the reason why he is in the west is because of work, he is an elven naturalist, good at greening, improving the natural environment.

The barrenness and barrenness of the Western Frontier is obvious to all, and those stinky drunkards of the dwarven race have no awareness of protecting nature at all, which is why the Western Frontier is such a mess.

And it is precisely in order to improve the environment in the western realm, so Luo Ji will specially transfer a team of elven naturalists here.

On this trip, Wei Lun came over, undoubtedly for inspection, and only after confirming the situation first, he could continue his follow-up work.

However, coincidentally, at this time, the steam train happened to pass quickly on the tracks in the distance, and the billowing smoke that kept coming out of the train chimney set off the steam train like a monster lying on the tracks, making Wei Lun's brows wrinkle unconsciously.

The existence of the steam train, Wei Lun is naturally aware.

In recent months, each issue of the newspaper has sold at least tens of millions of copies, and unless he is isolated from the world, it is impossible for him not to know about it.

However, the black-and-white photographs in the newspapers, which are not particularly clear, are obviously not the same as seeing them with your own eyes.

At this moment, looking at the steam train passing by quickly with billowing smoke, a hint of thought flashed in Wei Lun's eyes.

In the next few days, Wei Lun, who has always had a strong sense of responsibility, unexpectedly handed over all the inspection work to several subordinates who accompanied him, and he ran to the railway station and near the train tracks outside the city for several days, as if to confirm something.

A month later, an unexpected situation happened, on the southern side, the railway and railway station project that was being prepared for construction was strongly protested by a large number of elven people, and the entire project was interrupted, and then the garrison troops and patrols arrived one after another, but they failed to stop this state of affairs.

In this way, an urgent report was delivered all the way to Der Spiegel as quickly as possible.

Looking at the report in his hand, Luo Ji, who was sitting in the council hall, suddenly had a cloudy face.

Luo Ji obviously didn't expect this to happen.

A group of elven naturalists led by Wei Lun jointly launched a protest, believing that the smoke emitted by the steam train would obviously pollute the natural environment of their elven forest, so they launched a protest against the southern project.

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

The update is sent, and at the same time, thank you for the monthly passes of the book friends 'hllloguoll', 'Chiling', 'Sunset', 'Wudaozi', 'Funeral Love', 'Epithelial Tissue Skin Test', and 'Inverted Positive'!
