Volume 8 Flap your wings! 07 Monsters that don't make a bang 02
It's a bit like the first sports meeting of the whole family of children in Orson Manor, where hundreds of hoops run in front of people with laughter. Xu Zheng even gave the children the task of organizing an activity that everyone had to roll the hoop from the manor to the Cape of Good Hope at least once, and report what the reading on the counter was when they returned. At the same time, there will be 20 happy participation awards, 10 third prizes, 5 second prizes, 3 first prizes, and 1 special prize. Prizes, well, this...... Undetermined.
At first, Xu Zheng was a little worried, because when he first came, he roughly estimated that the distance between the manor and the Cape of Good Hope was about twenty kilometers, and he was worried about whether the physical strength of the little dolls could support it.
In fact, however, he underestimated these imps. Among the little ghosts who can complete nearly 20 kilometers of hiking, the youngest is only five and a half years old. He was a dwarven little ghost, the size of a brain, a strong body, and dark skin, like an upside-down carrot. From this, it is known that children who grow up in a much harsher living environment than in their previous lives are far more physically and mentally resolute than those who grew up in greenhouses, at least before they were injected with genetic drugs before the age of fourteen. For example, the children here are all wild-ranged, and those in the previous life were raised in captivity, without the more tenacious tenacity to fight with nature. For this, Xu Zheng was a little proud, living as if these little ghosts were all raised by him.
Xu Zheng estimated that it was not surprising that elves and little orcs could win almost all the victory awards, and the dwarfs and dwarves with short legs would definitely have worse results. So you have to play some tricks and make everyone happy. This is a problem, and if the operation is not good, it will disappoint the child, and it will be quite a headache.
When Xu Zheng was worried about how to determine the ranking, Hawk and Bruce were so angry that Xu Zheng was too simple and too capable, and he was a model of not doing his job properly! He even pushed an iron ring himself, ran in the middle of the large army of children, and carried a group of two-legged and four-legged little dolls all over the field, including a dozen or so small saplings with flourishing skills......
Just when Hawk and Bruce were completely annoyed. Even Carlo really couldn't look past it, and when he was about to turn a blind eye and let these two people arrest Xu Zheng and beat him up, Xu Zheng came to the door with a smile and opened his mouth to say: "I measured the distance between Orson Manor and the Cape of Good Hope in the West, which should be almost accurate." Plus, I've picked out the best routes!"
"You?!" Bruce glared at him in surprise.
"Of course!" Xu Zheng was very proud, and said, "Thousands of little ghosts help me." The averages are quite accurate. And they are all clever and know how to pick and choose the route to take, so the route they will tread the most will also be the route that we will build railways and roads. ”
Hawke was intrigued and asked, "How did you get it?" I think you've been crazy for the last few days and haven't done anything. ”
Xu Zheng raised a finger and said with a smile: "No, no, no." I've been doing it. First, I made hoops. Each hoop is one meter in one circle. By the way, here I have to talk about the measurement method I am used to, which is not necessarily good. But I'm more used to it. It may sound a bit complicated, but it goes something like this: a meter can be divided into ten parts, each part called a decimeter. Further down, each decimeter can be divided into ten centimeters. One centimeter is divided into ten millimeters. At present, it is like this, there is not much point in subdividing, and it is not like the dwarf that needs to achieve the precision of the part level. Comparing and dating, the approximate length of each length continued: "Go up." Every kilometer is one kilometer. Since the hoop is one meter in size, rolling a thousand times is one kilometer, so I used this method to measure the distance from Orson Manor to Western Good Hope. ”
"Since there may be slight differences in the route that everyone takes, there are some children who like to run around happily. So I used the little guy with the least distance to measure the ground distance, selected multiple to refer to the calculation, and finally got a more accurate data, two or three kilometers and eight hundred meters. I'm not just playing, I'm getting a bunch of good guys for the farm. Now they are still measuring, and the results of the test while playing are equivalent to verifying the accuracy of the data. Give a more reasonable route and data. Xu Zheng smiled, looking very proud. Let these little devils have fun and help the manor at the same time, killing two birds with one stone!
The two looked at him in amazement. He could have come up with such a ghostly idea. Truly remarkable. Hawke chuckled, "I always thought you were crazy. I'm trying to find a way to fix you. ”
Bruce nodded. Hehe laughed.
Xu Zheng's face darkened. Said: "Cut! underestimate my ......"
Bruce laughed, "We didn't underestimate you. But you always do things according to your hobby. And there has always been a suspicion of unscrupulous conduct. God knows what you come up with on the spur of the moment that makes people wonder whether to say good or bad. ”
"You will definitely say yes this time!" Xu Zheng was happy. Exclaimed, "Remember." The length is twenty-three kilometers and eight hundred meters. The slight error is negligible. I'm leaving. ”
"Hey. What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to mobilize people to build railways and roads!"
"What?"
This guy has already run away, and he can only hear the hearty laughter of haha is quickly moving away.
Hawke looked at Bruce blankly: "What are railroads and highways?"
"Highway I know. The meaning is almost the same as our common road surface. However, Xu Zheng's methods are much more clever and better, for example, a while ago he made Mark run on it like crazy, trampling back and forth. See the wide road leading to the various areas of the manor that has been halted for the construction of infrastructure?"
Hawke nodded, he had already noticed, and it could be seen from the short section that had been built, that they were very flat and solid. I believe that even if you use a carriage that is not equipped with the springs that Xu Zheng made in the imperial capital, it will drive relatively smoothly.
"As for the railway...... I don't know, it's the first time I've heard Xu Zheng say this word. ”
When Xu Zheng talks about railways, he uses the Arisian lingua franca, that is, the words iron and road are combined. So Hawke began to imagine...... A large piece of road paved with iron plates or sheets.
What would that look like? How much would it cost? Or how much iron ore would be wasted? Hawke's face turned blue again.
"One day I'll be uncontrollable and beat him. Hawke said hatefully.
Before Bruce could say anything, Kano pushed the door in and asked, "Where did he mess with you again?"
Hawk gritted his teeth and said: "Xu Zheng, that guy wants to waste iron ore resources to build some iron roads!"
Carlo shuddered, and his whole body was cold, and the ground in front of him was exactly what Hawke had imagined. It is forgivable not to do a good job, but it is unforgivable to waste. So he said, "Uh...... You beat it. Don't let me see me and pretend I don't know. Also, don't let Orson see or hear it. Otherwise, I can guarantee that I will be chased and cut by that big sword. If you want to die, the lightning has been unceremoniously pointing at you, and it will definitely be you. ”
Imagining the possibility of Orson going berserk, both of them shuddered. Bruce even began to think about the situation when Old Rex met Orson, would it evolve into a duel between a powerful Juggernaut and a strong Ranger......? Xu Zheng didn't expect so much, he crashed into the makeshift manufacturing workshop. It was full of energetic dwarves and gnomes, as well as a few humans and orcs, and a dozen or so demons. You can't get the sun here, they're safe.
"How's the progress?" asked Xu Zheng.
Haze ran over on short legs and shouted in a rough voice, "The wheels of the train have been completed." The hardness is no problem, we mixed other materials according to the method and proportion you said, and the result is really hard enough, and there is a certain elasticity. But are you sure this lump is really fine? Why do I always think it's going to cut into the road like a knife? Well, for the rest, we're trying to piece together the frame. ”
Sandodo followed. "The steam engine has been done. But we've never done it this big before, and we've had a lot of problems. Fortunately, with the help of the demons, their gravity technique was reversed and turned into an anti-gravity technique. It's so easy to use. We only built four cranes, and to tell you the truth, they didn't do much to lift something that big. ”
"Where's the magic engine?"
"Teacher Forrester and the elves are doing it, and a few demons are also helping. We can't help with the core magic array and magic mechanism, and we will only need it when it is assembled. Hahaha!" Sandodo laughed, "I found for the first time that when people of all races come together and do what they do best, it works amazingly. Terrans have a unique talent for making things more comfortable. And the orcs are simply the toughest helpers. Give them all the headaches for us people with little strength, and they can always do it well. Oh, I love the atmosphere where everyone works together to get things done. I can't wait to see the majesty of that thudding thing you described as running on the ground!"
Xu Zheng smiled as he checked the progress. For now, everything seems to be going well, and in five days at most, the first car and the steam locomotive will be unveiled. Since there is no gas engine, the car should not be called a car technically, but should be called a magic land vehicle or something. Because it is the same as the original car except for the steering mechanism. The rest has all changed. The train, on the other hand, has a dual-power structure, which can be magically driven, or driven by a steam piston linkage, or both. Which one is mainly used, it depends on the cost and the speed at which it can be recharged according to the magic crystal obtained from Victor City.
Seeing the rapid progress of everyone working together, Xu Zheng was very excited and shouted: "Very good, at most another week." The results of everyone's efforts can be seen. Right now. Let's look at the details, such as the braking mechanism. Just being able to drive and not stop must be terrifying. ”
Everyone began to laugh, and Xu Zheng said again: "There is something similar to shock absorption." I'm really scared of Uncle Hughes's bone-splitting machine when I was in the imperial capital, it can break every bone in your body! There are railroad tracks, switches, signal signs, platforms, etc., everyone needs to discuss and figure out how to do it. Hey, who brought lunch? It's going to be a long time. ”
"Do we need lunch?" said Sandodo, rolling his eyes. Everyone laughed again, and the emotions were unprecedentedly high, pushing the newborn vehicle to make its debut at Orson Manor.
