Winter turned to spring, and the taxes collected by the Dwarven Province did not disappoint Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan.

Looking at the gradually filling treasury, Luo Ji's breath can be regarded as relieved.

In this way, development will naturally continue while ensuring financial stability.

This year has been a busy and stable year for Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan.

The development of civilization kept the two busy, but at the same time, there were no accidents, and the life of the two was quite stable.

At the same time, at the end of the summer of this year, the development project of the Western Territory, which had lasted for many years, was finally basically completed.

Although there is still a lot of follow-up work to deal with, those follow-up work only need to leave some workers to take their time.

As for the other workers, they were naturally hurriedly transferred to carry out the railway project.

On the side of the Ministry of Construction and Engineering, the road map of the railway has already been confirmed, and even a lot of track parts have been built.

Now that the workers are in place, it is natural to start work immediately.

According to Luo Ji's plan at the beginning, he first built a railway and a railway station in the border city to ensure the improvement of support efficiency, and as for the rear city, just take your time.

Anyway, it's not a year or two that it's inconvenient to move between these cities.

In this way, the project officially began to be implemented, and after a large amount of funds were spent, Luo Ji felt that he was a lot poorer this time, but there was no way to do it.

The next thing Luo Ji has to do is undoubtedly to keep an eye on the development progress of the steam train.

The most troublesome steam engine problem has been solved at the beginning, plus the blessing of the gold-level design drawing, although it is the first time to manufacture this new type of mechanical vehicle, but as long as the technology is in place and the design drawing is fine, the efficiency is basically not low.

System Prompt: Congratulations to player 'Luo Ji' for successfully unlocking the tech item 'Steam Train'

At the end of the summer of the following year, the first steam train of the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds was officially born, and its birth allowed Luo Ji to unlock a scientific and technological project without accident.

Luo Ji took a brief look at the effect bonus of that technology project, which was basically to improve the production efficiency of the steam train, and this project was unexpectedly useful to him, at least he really needed this now, and decisively promoted it to three levels in a row.

After ascending, Luo Ji, who refocused his gaze on the steam train, looked at the big black guy in front of him, and his face couldn't help but show a hint of amazement.

In the real world, steam trains like this can only be seen in some museums, or in some movies and TV series.

And now, it just stopped quietly in its own place.

The fingertips gently touched the slightly heavy black metal, and finally made the whole palm completely attached to it, and the cold touch that fed back made Luo Ji have a wonderful feeling.

It was as if he was pushing an entire era forward, and the intense sense of satisfaction was constantly filling his body and mind, which was really incredible.

"Whew-"

Exhaling with a long breath, Luo Ji first rewarded the staff of the Academy of Science and Technology, and then turned his head to Lu Yang and Ye Hua, who also came to observe, and asked......

"How's the railroad construction at the border?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the railway project on the side of Gaoling City in the western border has been completed."

At this time, the person who answered was Ye Hua, after all, Lu Yang still had to worry about several other major projects within the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds, so Luo Ji asked Ye Hua to help keep an eye on the railway project.

And it was the West that laid the railroad first.

The reasons are not complicated, there are basically two.

The first reason is that because the workers happened to be in the western border at that time, so they simply laid the railway for the western border first, which also saved them from running back and forth and wasting time.

And this second reason is a little more serious.

As mentioned before, the laying of railways will greatly improve the efficiency of movement between cities.

And the western realm happens to be a relatively backward part of the development of the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds.

Therefore, Luo Ji wanted to use the advantage of 'convenient transportation' to see if he could drive the economic development of the western region and get more trade routes.

At the same time, he may be able to further improve his popularity among the dwarves.

In this way, the first steam train of the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds is naturally given priority to the Western Realm.

This incident was undoubtedly able to become the headline news of the newspaper, and the focus was reported, not only interviewed the R&D personnel of the Academy of Science and Technology, but also took two photos back.

That's right, today's civilization in the world already has a camera.

However, this thing is not tossed out by Luo Ji, but the masterpiece of Gao Wen's goods, so naturally Luo Ji does not need to invest money.

According to Gawain's account, he originally wanted to get a camera to play around, and by the way, see if he could make a small amount of money or something.

As it turned out, he was halfway there.

With the help of Goblin Technology, he did succeed in building a bulky early camera, and the pictures were taken in black and white, which was not very clear, but there is no doubt that he succeeded in building it.

However, the reason why he is said to be half the success is because this thing is not easy to sell at all......

The people were indeed interested in this strange thing, but it was clearly an expensive item.

Although everyone's life and income are generally good today, the price still dissuades a large number of people.

Up to now, except for a few wealthy people who bought one and went back to toss and play, the newspaper offices in each city have purchased one in order to improve the quality of the newspaper.

Let the newspaper of the civilization of the world succeed in matching a not very clear photo.

The cameras developed by Goblin Technology have successfully exerted their value in newspapers, and the sales of newspapers with photos have indeed become higher than before.

Of course, it is also possible that the people simply want to see the new gadget that their Majesty tossed up through the photos, the so-called steam train.

At this moment, the benefits of publishing newspapers have undoubtedly been further reflected.

You see, Luo Ji basically didn't do anything, but he easily let the people know about the existence of the new type of vehicle of the steam train through the newspapers he bought with his own money.

Even the role of the steam train is clearly written in the newspapers.

All of a sudden, the topic of steam trains was also spreading throughout the civilization of the entire world.

Everyone was very curious about whether the so-called steam train could really travel back and forth between the two cities so quickly as the newspaper said!

As the first steam train in the West, the mood of countless people in the West at this moment is far more excited than the other people!

The update is sent, and at the same time, I would like to thank the book friend for the reward of "It's a good book" and the monthly pass of the book friend "Li Hao", "Please call me Wang Tiedan", "Huang Yifan", "Divine Dance Sunset", and "wats7410"!
