Chapter 124: The "Fierce Water" Rushing South

Before the sun had even risen, Cooper had already run to the train, fiddling with the strange equipment. It was about two hours before Draenor and the others came to the side of the train.

Although Draenor had heard Leg say that the train was still working properly after inspection, Cooper still seemed to be somewhat reassuring about the level of wear and tear of the equipment.

"Don't be busy, uncle, it's better to wipe the carriage a little cleaner if you have that kung fu." Draenor teased at Cooper, this dwarven uncle is really an emotionless alcohol container, he drank almost half a barrel of rum last night, and he didn't even see him talk nonsense.

"You blue-haired boy knows a fart! What's the use of looking clean? Look at these sticks! It's all rusty! And the cylinders, so many grooves are almost a hole in it! Cooper excitedly pointed to the structure on the train and shouted at Draenor, eager to curse all the parts he could see.

Vikiriko seems to be interested in the train, which does not have any structure similar to a reactor, except for a large furnace in the combustion chamber, and it is clear that the machine is not powered by rycere.

Seeing that Draenor had no obvious reaction, Cooper continued to crouch down to inspect the train, although there were some grooves in the cylinders, but they didn't seem to affect the operation of the internal pistons, but the guide wheels were too dilapidated to look at. He climbed into the combustion chamber and spun around, then stood in front of the crowd again.

"It seems to be an ordinary steam locomotive, although it has no technical content, but after all, it is also the process of Kedwa, and it should not be a problem to run a few hundred kilometers!" Cooper pointed to the carriage beside him and said confidently towards Draenor.

Draenor followed the direction of Cooper's finger and saw a string of strange words engraved on the carriage, which seemed to be the symbol of the dwarven kingdom of Kedwa, Cooper must have seen such a sign before his face changed, and he used to curse non-stop, now he has to listen to him boast about Kedwa's high precision technology.

"At least you can determine the status of the train now, right? I guess you should teach me how to get this guy moving. ”

It seemed that Cooper could indeed drive the train, but after all, the cab needed to be replaced, and Draenor felt that it would be better to understand how the machine worked.

"Teach you? It doesn't take much brains to do this, see this stove? Shovel in the coals and light them, and then keep adding them to the tank, and the heat will be transferred to the tank, and you can imagine this thing like a cauldron full of water. The boiling water turns into steam, which drives the cylinder to move the piston, and the connecting rod connected to the cylinder will move. But it's really a great invention. ”

Cooper patiently explained to Draeno how the steam engine worked, which was not too unusual for a Canaanite, but he didn't expect that such power would be powerful enough to drive an entire train for hundreds of kilometers.

"You're up?" Leg rubbed one eye and walked towards the group, he was still wearing pajamas, and he could think of how much he had drunk last night by looking at the red eyes.

"It's also good to leave early, are the drinks loaded?" Draenor got to the point, and while the wines weren't a good deal, it was at least better to take them with them than to visit the king empty-handed.

"Well, twelve barrels of rum in total...... While the workers are not there, I have to remind you that it is better to mix these wines with some water and then bring them to the emperor, such a strong wine may be suspected of being mixed with alcohol, and it is better not to cause any trouble! Legg looked left and right, then leaned into Draenor's ear and instructed him.

There was no need for him to remind Draenor that he would naturally find a way to mix some water into the wine, first, it was indeed a little shabby to come all the way to the emperor with only twelve barrels of wine, and second, the taste of those high-concentration spirits was really unacceptable.

While the two were talking, Vicilly remembered her spear, wondering what had been the result of Cooper's hours of tinkling in the carriage last night before the feast began.

"Uncle Cooper, where did you get that spear?" She stopped Cooper, who was about to pick up a shovel, and it was clear that the uncle couldn't wait to set the train on fire.

"It's a bad question, I wanted to save this surprise until the train started. Wait here! Cooper ran barefoot to the rear carriage, and in a few moments returned to Viklico with the spear.

"I've improved it again to see if it works well." Cooper confidently rubbed his chin and bushy beard and said to Vickyric, "The material used this time is quite special! ”

She was a little confused, as Cooper's so-called "improvement" was to reconnect the spear and hourglass with a thin thread, and it looked the same as before.

However, the somewhat rare string attracted Viklico's attention, this material did not look like the fur of any animal, let alone some plant fiber, it was elastic like a spring, and it seemed to be somewhat transparent, and the hollow structure of the thin line could be faintly seen.

Vicky pulled the thin thread, which looked unusually strong, and it was pulled three or four times as long without the slightest deformation. She raised her spear and threw it at the wall in the distance, and the spear pierced the stone bricks of the wall in an instant, and the cut was very intact without a single crack.

Viklico pulled the spear back into her hand with the thin thread, and the elastic spear that was characteristic of the thin thread returned to her hand two or three times faster than before.

"Don't sell it, where did you get such a thin thread?" She looked at Cooper suspiciously, the material was hard to find even in Nikanros.

Cooper chuckled evilly and pulled out a rag from his bosom, wrapped in the spider silk that had been wrapped around Viklico's legs.

"Thanks to those dumbfounded spiders, their spider silk is so strong that I couldn't cut it no matter how hard I tried before, and considering that this special material can't be used anywhere else, I'm just going to make a new connection cable for you."

Seemingly as reliable as ever, Vikily rewound the thread around the hourglass and stuck the spear behind her back.

"But don't rejoice too soon, everything has pros and cons. Although this thing is strong and resilient, it has one of its biggest weaknesses - it is afraid of fire. As soon as it comes into contact with the slightest flame, it will burn quickly like a fuse, and it took a lot of effort to remove a piece of spider silk from it. Cooper said to Vicky with a serious expression.

"Understand, just be careful."

Vicky didn't think it was a fatal weakness, even if the thin line was broken and the spear could be retrieved. She shrugged her shoulders, turned and climbed into the carriage, waiting for the train to start.

"Let's take this as a send-off gift! You're a good adventurer, and although I'm not well-educated, I at least know that people travel to gain knowledge. We all wish you all the best of luck and we, the residents of Lieshui, always look forward to welcoming you back again! ”

Leg took off the hat on his head and handed it to Draenor, the charred broad-brimmed hat must have been a good fit on his head, Draenor smiled and nodded, and put the felt hat on top of his head.

Cooper had already lit the coal stove, and a heat wave was already slowly rising on the top of the train. Delano helped Jeanne carry the rest of the salute to the carriage, and then jumped onto the train with her.

Vicilico still counted her stocks, and there was plenty of food and water, enough to support the group to reach Snowway in the south for at least two days. Leg pushed the lever to the side, and a string of sparks shot out parallel to the track, in line with the train's guide wheels.

With the roar of the whistle, Cooper pulled the handbrake back sharply, and the train of the same name as Spiritwater Town slowly turned its huge metal wheel and moved forward, heading towards the south of the continent of Abel.

From the back of the train came the shouts of Lege, who waved his arms to see them off, "Have a good trip!" Don't forget that letter of mine! ”
