Volume 8 Flap your wings! 08 Monsters that don't make a bang 03
Next, the laying of steel tracks and road construction were carried out at the same time as the assembly of locomotives and cars. Xu Zheng suffered a big defeat here, he counted on his own more advanced method to pour the rails, but in fact, the method he proposed became a paper talk after the lack of necessary hardware facilities, and was vetoed by all the dwarves. The dwarves used their own method of mixing sand and stone molds, and they proved to be quite successful. After the second trimming, the steel rails out of the furnace are indeed worse than those made by high technology, but there is no problem to be able to do the current work.
On the issue of rails, Xu Zheng has only succeeded in one thing, and that is to break through the distance dimensions of the rails before the vehicles in the previous life were detached from the attraction of the ground. The distance between the two rails in the Otherworldly version is two meters, far exceeding the distance formed by the previous two horses' butts.
This made the newly built locomotives and carriages look flat, like beetles lying on the ground. Xu Zheng always couldn't help but laugh every time he saw it, this was a great initiative.
The route to the Cape of Good Hope West was measured and determined by the dolls. The West Continental Bridge is similar to a plain area, relatively high and straight, and the necessary places to turn around difficult sections avoid bridges and tunnels. Although with the strength of the dwarves, they may be able to invite cavemen who are better at this aspect, but Xu Zheng feels that it is not necessary, because a short-distance detour is far more cost-effective and labor-saving than drilling holes or building bridges, so the route is settled.
Throughout the paving process, orcs and demons played a decisive role. The former completed almost all the manual work, and completed the laying of the railroad tracks and the laying of the highway with enthusiasm and high speed and high efficiency. The demons play a supporting role that cannot be ignored, and the application of gravity and turning it upside down into anti-gravity has played a surprising role in the whole process. The road surface made by these two methods is far smoother and more solid than Xu Zheng imagined, and he insists that even the large tank Mark is not used. He just used it as a rock-breaking machine to kill some roadblocks within his ability.
Nearly half a month passed, and during that time, Hawke only built a mill, two barns, and five bungalows due to materials. Compared with Xu Zheng's merits, Hawke was very dissatisfied with his ability. Cheng Tian pulled a straight face and secretly competed with Xu Zheng, which made Bruce laugh.
Because of his ability to compete with Xu Zheng in secret, Hawke once went to peek at Xu Zheng's railway. I found that it was not at all the iron road I imagined, only two of Xu Zheng's so-called steel rails stood on the wooden strips that were separated into sections.
Hawke was amazed by such a thing, and wondered what would be possible in the future on rails that looked like thin single-plank bridges. I wanted to ask Xu Zheng, but I felt very shameless. had to hold the problem in his heart, and secretly cursed Xu Zheng hundreds of times.
This morning, Hawk and Bruce were discussing with Ruthor and Reeves about what the next funds should be used, when suddenly there was a commotion outside, and Xu Zheng's voice was particularly prominent in the crowd and shouted: "The train and car are ready, everyone come and see hey!"
The four of them stood up in surprise and joy, and Bruce said excitedly: "Let's go, go and see!"
Hawke muttered, "I hope it's not something flashy again." ”
Niu Tou asked humbly, "Are you afraid of losing?"
Hockten's face flushed. Straighten your neck and say, "Shut your mouth! What am I afraid of?! I don't compare with him!"
Reeves was happy. Smiled: "Yes." You're not compared to him. You're just secretly fighting him. Not bad. Child. Find someone who is stronger than yourself, set goals, and the best way to move forward. Uncle, I'm rooting for you! Don't be embarrassed. ”
Hawke's face was red and his ears were red. I couldn't stand it and said, "Oh. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up!"
Everyone laughed. Let's get out of the house and run to the temporary workshop where the dwarves and gnomes are built.
It's behind the Great Lakes. Stay away from places where you live. Xu Zheng believes that the advantage of this is that it is at a downwind. It can pollute the environment less. Second, it can also avoid making noise so that everyone can't sleep well.
When Hawke's group arrived, there were already a lot of people there, and not surprisingly, acquaintances like Xiao Chu and Luki were all there. Camilla and the other demons hid under a large tree that did not get sunlight, wearing a huge straw hat, and they also looked at the most crowded place with interest. "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Xu Zheng shouted. Holding the big horn he titled the Universe Invincible Super Thunderbolt in his hand, he shouted: "This thing is very dangerous, it will kill people if it is swept under the wheel!
Ao Sen pulled out his big sword, a sword qi passed, cut a gap in the ground, and said, "Don't cross this ditch, cross the ditch." Chop!"
He spoke with great vigour. His prestige as a Demon Sword Ranger has a much smaller impact on the manor, and the image of the godfather of the masses is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Most people remember him more than the godfather who brought a group of little dolls of all races around to make trouble, and almost forgot that he still killed gods with the prestige of the Demon Sword Ranger. Except for the people who were still afraid of him after the gang of bandits in Fengzhai joined Aosen Manor, the other people were not very afraid of him, and they still squeezed and scurried around.
Ao Sen was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't really raise his sword to cut people, so he had to look at Xiao Chu and Notting. The latter two chuckled, quickly changed their posture to a half-human, half-beast battle form on the spot, and raised their heads to the sky and shouted.
As orcs, they all have the talent to emit a high-frequency whistling sound that cannot be heard by the human ear, and this sound can always travel far away.
The call spread, and it quickly came from among the members of the Guardians, and soon, the Orc Protectors, the Human Protectors who had been notified by the Orcs, and the Elven Protectors who had joined later arrived in large numbers and began to maintain order.
The crowd was cleared, and everyone saw that the connecting rails from the workshop to the main line of the rails had been trampled into muddy water, as if they had been ravaged by thousands of people.
Xu Zheng saw it, and suddenly his face was black. This section of steel rail was only maintained yesterday, and it was carefully polished, oiled, and maintained, and maintained like a model's face. But it was ravaged by tens of thousands of people early this morning...... Xu Zheng has never been so glad as now: fortunately, the rails are made of iron, otherwise they would have been deformed......
The other people were also very good, all looking at their good results, and said with a dry smile: "It's not me, it's not me, it's him! I didn't step on it...... Uh, maybe only one or two times, who remembers?"
Hawke leaned back with a smile, and said to the bull's head with his eyebrows fluttering: "Ha, he can't stop the field!
The bull head stretched his face and said, "Huo Huo, you are not kind......
Hawke shrugged: "Who cares about that? I'm happy when he's deflated." Wowhaha!"
The bull head didn't want to pay attention to him, and stretched the cow's neck to see what Xu Zheng was saying.
At this time, there are more people, and more and more people have dropped their jobs after hearing the news of today's first test of trains and automobiles, and are rushing to come.
Xu Zheng watched more and more people move closer to this side, and he was a little anxious. Everyone's expressions were full of excitement and anticipation, hoping to see this unseen thing for the first time, and no one realized that it would also bring danger. Except for the defenders, who faithfully carried out their mission and kept anyone who came close at a safe distance, the others stood on the railroad line, talking and discussing what they were about to see, not worrying at all about whether the so-called trains and cars would run over them.
Xu Zheng knew that he would not let people realize that being run over by the train would kill him, so he immediately got into the workshop and found two wooden planks to put on the tracks. He plans to use this as a demonstration of what happens if people get run over by a train.
After doing this, Xu Zheng asked loudly, "Are you all ready?"
Ling Meimei shouted in the workshop: "Okay! No! Wait, I'll burn the steam for a while, and the steam meter is still a little bit better to achieve." ”
"Just open it. ”
"Nonsense! If you want to do it, you have to do it to the best! This is the style of a dwarf!" the little girl shouted inside, "All right! ”
Xu Zheng was excited, waved his right arm, and shouted, "Come out!"
"Okay, here we go!" Reimei responded excitedly.
Immediately, a loud chirp was heard.
The sound was like the chirping of a hundred buffalo in unison, like the neighing of more wildebeest in unison, and more like the sound of a huge air stream squeezing through a narrow passage at the same time. Huge, loud, and with a rushing momentum, it is a sign that the thing called the train that is still hidden in the workshop must be quite large.
Everyone was stunned by the loud whistle, and their ears were sharp, similar to elves or orcs, including some human girls, and they couldn't help but cover their ears.
After the loud chirp, the crowd fell silent, and then burst into enthusiastic cheers!
"Train, let's go!" I don't know who shouted excitedly, and the crowd began to shout one after another: "Train, train, train!" and finally formed a rhythmic call, one above the other.
Xu Zheng was also excited, he simply loved this feeling, everyone looked forward to the beautiful new thing together, cheered, and warmly welcomed its arrival. Xu Zheng began to hold the loudspeaker, shouting and cheering at its megaphone with the people, jumping up and down like a jumping bean, only to feel that the hard work of the past month has been exchanged for a return of 10,000 times, and he is extremely happy! This return is simply too much, far exceeding his expectations!
"Quick, Lingmei, get it out!" Xu Zheng screamed.
To tell a real joke, how many people know that the gauge between the rails is determined by the width of the two horses' butts, which even determine the size of the next-generation launch vehicle, is it funny...... If you don't believe it, you can check it on the Internet. Every time I think about it, I feel that this real joke is cold......
