Volume 8 Flap your wings! 11 First departure to the West Cape of Good Hope 01
Recently, since the large-scale purchase of building materials and grain at the West Cape of Good Hope, businessmen from near and far have realized that there are huge business opportunities here in the West Good Hope. For a time, businessmen from all over the country came one after another, bringing all kinds of building materials, food, and daily necessities.
And no matter how much they bring, the Starlight Song and Dance Troupe led by the head of the Blue Silk Regiment always buys all of them without hesitation, as long as the price is reasonable, they will take as much as they want.
Soon, all sorts of things were piling up at the Cape of Good Hope, including stone, wood, pottery, furniture, fruits, grain, and so on. Merchants can exchange their goods or gold coins for gold coins, dwarven iron products with exquisite workmanship, white and thin paper, some exquisite prints, elven fruits, wine, some elven bows, a small number of cavemen's specialty mushrooms, and so on. In particular, there are always a large number of sales, a small amount of purchases, because the products of Orson Manor are rare, but the quantity is not very large.
In this way, the piles of purchases changed from small hills to large mountains, and then to giant mountains, and piles of piles were piled up on the land that was not too rich in the Western Cape of Good Hope, which was extremely spectacular.
Among the merchants, the kind-hearted ones kept shaking their heads, wondering which of the children of the family were so ruined, and that these good things were piled up like this specially for moldy garbage? The less kind-hearted ones secretly rejoiced, wishing that they would go bad as soon as possible, so that it would mean the next sale.
But both the honest and the unkind, the businessmen have found a strange phenomenon. The members of the Cape of Good Hope, who were obviously in a hurry, were not in a hurry to build various warehouses to store these things, but were generally building a kind of steel rail and a thing called a platform.
No one can understand what the rail is made of. Its rough shape is two steel bars, and the cross-section is in a strange shape like two T-shapes connected together, with the upper end thicker and narrower, and the lower end slightly thinner and wider. Underneath the rails were sections of wood, all of which were cut into lengths of about two and a half or six meters, cut into squares, and laid at half-metre intervals, and the rails were laid across them.
What a waste, good timber and steel. I used it to do this!
This is followed by the platform, which is made of the finest stones. It is next to the Cape of Good Hope, and a stone platform half a meter high is built on the ground, about 100 meters long, a total of two. Between the two stone platforms are steel rails.
Looking at the platform and the rails, most people sighed. It hurts tremendously for its huge project and the waste of manpower and material resources.
Finally, a kind-hearted businessman couldn't hold it back, and found Lansi to remind her that materials would be bad if they were stacked like this. Instead of wasting money and time repairing what is not available, it is better to rush to repair the warehouse before the rainy season comes, so that more valuable materials can be recovered.
I said this a few times ago. The members of Starlight Singing and Dancing nodded violently. Deeply reasonable. And unceremoniously cursed a guy named Xu Zhengdi. But a few days later. They all changed their attitudes. Whenever someone is kind enough to advise. The members of the Starlight Song and Dance Troupe sincerely asked the local people to rest assured. Say you have a solution. And write down the names of the people who kindly gave advice. Commit to a larger discount when trading place.
Such and such. Good Samaritans have nothing to say. Is there a solution? When the rainy season comes. The heavy rain will pick up the place. This is the seaside of the disorderly continent. When the rainy season comes, heavy rain does not last long.
Fortunately, the attitude of the members of the Cape of Good Hope West is really good. Although he did not listen to the advice of others. But it also does not make the well-intentioned people feel that their good intentions are too unworthy. All those who are truly sincere in the West Cape of Good Hope will suffer great losses, and those who are kind enough will be better. Treat more kindly. It's just that. People still feel sorry for these children who seem too innocent. I really hope that when the heavy rain comes, they don't lose too much.
this day. It starts early in the morning. There was a strange and enthusiastic atmosphere throughout the Cape of Good Hope. There is no one in the market to buy things or sell things. The whole market was clean and felt like a strong wind passing through. Not half a figure could be seen, and there was no singing and dancing practice in the practice hall. Singing and stampede could be heard all day, and there was a dead silence in the room, and the various fortifications under construction had stopped. Tools were thrown all over the floor. The members of the Cape of Good Hope West all ran to the platform. Stand there and look in the direction of Orson Manor. Squeaky chattered enthusiastically.
Merchants who came to the Cape of Good Hope to do business. Many of them are already regular customers. I don't usually think much about it. At this time, all the members of the Cape of Good Hope West crowded together. This makes me realize that the racial composition here is really complicated. Human, non-human. Tall and short. Human heads, animal heads. Miscellaneous huddled together. The scene is very weird. It's also spectacular.
Some curious businessmen also squeezed over. "What are you all looking at?"
He grinned and replied, "Haven't you always wondered what the platform and the rails are used for? ”
I couldn't help but be even more curious, and asked, "What the hell is going on." ”
The person who answered couldn't help but be excited, and couldn't hide the mystery. He smiled: "The first train from Orson Manor to the West Cape of Good Hope is about to arrive! Hahaha! This is definitely a specialty of our Orson Manor, and you will never see it anywhere else." ”
"Trains, what are trains?" I imagined in my head, a horse-drawn carriage on fire and burning......
The person who answered scratched his scalp for a long time, as if the question was very sharp. After a while, he replied: "I don't know, I haven't seen it!" I have been living in the Cape of Good Hope in the West for a while, and I have heard some things about the manor sporadically. In short, the train is good, very powerful, very strong, very powerful, very amazing, my friend said to me the last time he came to carry wood. ”
What could it be, it's powerful, it's powerful, it's amazing? I can't materialize it in my head at all, and honestly, after listening to it for a long time, it's very vague...... It's more practical to think of it as a horse-drawn carriage on fire.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and three rounds of the sun jumped up from the sea one after another, slowly climbing up to the sky, reflecting the sky in orange. The merchants who questioned found that more and more merchants were rushing to the platform to see the excitement, and the members of the Cape of Good Hope in the West were obviously more shrewd, and they were ready early, taking out the dry food they had prepared in advance for breakfast, and munching on it with a smile, waiting for the arrival of the train.
After another while, the sun rises higher and begins to radiate the heat of summer. The merchants themselves were hungry and impatient, and were about to evacuate when they heard the sharp-eyed orcs shouting, "Come, I hear a voice." ”
There was a commotion in the crowd, and after a few more moments, a strange clanging sound was heard from the other end of the rails. It was approaching at a very fast speed, louder and clearer.
What is the movement? I haven't heard it! Everyone pricked up their ears to listen.
The next moment, at the turn of the rail, a huge iron guy suddenly jumped.
It was as wide as four or five carriages side by side, and as high as three or four carriages stacked on top of each other. It was made of iron all over its body, with a swarthy hue, and was speeding towards it with a speed that was completely different from its pet's size. What's even more bizarre is that it runs fast, but it can't see any of the monsters that pull it, as if it can run itself. You can only see the iron wheels spinning like windmills on the same iron rails, and the huge iron guys rush forward with an invincible momentum, and the wind blows in the face, as if it is unstoppable. That speed is at least two to three times that of the fastest land-based demonic beast at the moment!
You must know that high-speed land-based demonic beasts are always fast and have little strength, so they can only ride and can't pull carts. And those who can pull the cart can't go up at speed. But now this monster has concentrated the advantages of two types of land travel monsters, and it seems that it is not only fast, but also quite capable of pulling!
What kind of monster is this?
The merchants looked at it with their mouths open. The members of the Western Cape of Good Hope cheered loudly: "Aha, the train is coming!"
When they got closer, the merchants were even more dumbfounded. I saw that there were all people hanging on it, and there were people standing on the left and right sides of the front section, not to mention, even two demonic beasts were standing. Just by looking at the position of the two stands, one knows that they are not the ones who make this monster run. The two monsters are about the size of the wheels of a train, and they are expected to be able to pull this heavy iron monster, when they are two divine beasts?
There were two other beautiful girls standing on it, their dresses fluttering from the speed of the speed, and they were trying to press down the corners of their skirts so that the spring light would not leak out. The two of them didn't know that this action was driven by the wind, and the fluttering dress had a flying dynamic, pressing the corners of the skirt with small hands as white as snow, and the corners of the skirt were as green as a lake.
There was also a black-haired and black-eyed boy standing at the front, holding the handle on the outer wall of the train with one hand and holding the big horn that was all the rage in the other, shouting: "Get out of the way, get out of the way! The train is coming, don't stand on the rails!"
As the train drove closer, the train's long serpent-like figure was revealed. It turns out that it does not have only one segment, but many segments connected together to form a long group.
It's so long, so big, it's so fast, so smooth, and you can't see what's pushing it. I had never seen anything like this, made of iron all over, and without the pull of a demonic beast, it could drive on a steel rail at a very fast speed! The well-informed merchant saw the two huge spinning flywheels behind the first section, and sensed the magical aura on it, and had some faint thoughts in his heart, but he was still shocked by its enormity and speed, and the clever and intelligent feat of using magic to propel it.
What's even more exaggerated is that its whole body is full of people, orcs, dwarves, dwarves, humans, elves, everything, from a distance, it looks more like a big tree that has been put down, and it is hung with all kinds of ornaments like a festival, or rather, a tree of horse monkeys!
