As of the second year of the new calendar, there have been more than 6,000 graduates from the Santan School of Magic, which is a significant number in terms of the total population of more than 400,000 people in the three northern provinces. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, apart from those who returned to their hometowns to work as farmers after graduation, those who went to Pampelo School City as naturalist apprentices, those who worked as teachers in public schools in the three northern provinces, those who are still studying at the Fog City Engineering College and the Fog Chemical Engineering College, and the graduates who have been selected by Merkel to do grassroots administration over the years, there are only more than 900 skilled workers who have received complete vocational education, and they are distributed in the Fog City Factory, the Avery Industrial Zone, and the newly built factories under the names of Mino, Wesley, etc.

In terms of qualifications, these ordinary peasant children who have only just begun their education at the age of thirteen or fourteen are really not excellent, but the amazing level of hard work makes up for the lack of talent, and the unique conditions of the fog city factory allow these children to get valuable practical opportunities.

It was precisely because of such a group of available talents that Donner had the confidence to use the power of Minnow and others to spread the sprouts of industrial mass production throughout the empire.

For more than a year, these graduates who came out of Fog City really did not disappoint Donner.

According to the news brought back by Danny, in the provinces of Cope and Brina in the south of the empire, several factories covering the cotton spinning and weaving industry have successfully completed small-scale trial production, and ready-to-wear factories are also in full swing.

In addition, the rubber products factory in Triss Province, with the technical assistance of the Misty Institute of Chemical Engineering, has already produced the first batch of industrial gaskets, and the first batch of bicycle tires will roll off the assembly line as long as the molds from the Fog City factory are in place, and the bicycle factory built in the suburbs of Coenas under Wesley's name will be officially put into operation.

Downer knew that the closer he got to operation, the more problems the factory would encounter, and it was self-evident how important Danny, who had experience in leading the Lingbei Machinery Factory independently, to these factories that were groping their way on.

At this juncture, Donner summoned Danny back to the Avery Industrial Area. On the one hand, this is because Avery Industrial Park is more important than those downstream industries. In addition, it is also related to the fact that the first batch of products of Avery Machinery Factory is about to roll off the production line.

......

The sky is intoxicatingly blue on a spring evening.

The sunset shone on the cement façade of the Avery Machinery Factory, red as a fire.

Less than 300 meters to the southeast of the plant is the flood gate of the Aili Reservoir, which is more than 20 meters high. According to the original drawings of the industrial zone, the Avery Machinery Factory was supposed to be built under the flood gate in order to use water power to drive the machinery. Now that there is a magic engine, there is no need for this.

Along the cement ramp on one side of the flood gate, there are thick iron pipes laid overhead, which are the water supply pipes from the upstream water purification plant, through which the sediment and filtered water of the Isa River is passing through these pipes, providing industrial and domestic water for the entire park.

Under the flood gates of the Aili Reservoir is the lower channel of the Isa River, and the blast furnace of the Aili Steel Plant is sandwiched between the machine factory and the river. In the towering chimney of the steel mill, the white smoke spit out dragged a long tail into the northern sky, which can be seen for more than a dozen kilometers.

In the cement square of the machinery factory's warehouse, thousands of people gathered, wearing light blue overalls were skilled workers who graduated from the Wucheng Engineering College, and white canvas overalls were selected from the laborers of the construction of the industrial park, the latter was far more numerous than the former.

In addition, Lisa, who was standing at the front of the crowd and standing side by side with Donner, was still wearing a white mage robe. The brown leather trim on the corners and placket of the robe, as well as the intricate leather cord used to lock the placket, are all prominent features of the Magic Continent costume.

In the center of the square is a tunnel about three meters wide, and on the sleepers evenly arranged in the tunnel, two parallel rails less than two meters apart extend to the east and west. If you look a little further, you can see that the two railroad tracks go around the industrial park in half a circle, one side leads to the pier in the Aili Reservoir and the other side leads to the mining area.

Now, an iron-gray behemoth is lying on the railroad track in the machine factory's warehouse, and several skilled workers in blue overalls climb up and down to do the final checks.

Since the start of the Avery Machinery Factory, for a whole year, all the work has been carried out around one goal, that is, the magic locomotive in front of us.

The train's special magic energy engine weighs more than 700 kilograms, uses twelve secret copper totem poles, and has a maximum output of 4,300kw, which is ten times that of the Misty Boom-type magic energy engine.

Moreover, in order to reduce the air consumption of magic energy, Donner deliberately changed the material of the inner wall of the mixed temperature chamber to a high-density secret copper coating. Although it can't completely isolate the magic energy radiation like the Gold of Despair, it can still reduce the idle energy consumption of magic energy in standby using the malleability of the secret copper in the extra dimension.

In the actual trial, the situation of the violent intersection of heat and cold in the mixed temperature chamber has indeed been reduced a lot, which also further reduces the material requirements of the mixed temperature chamber.

As for the 21-kilometer-long train track in front of you, in addition to the more than 60,000 laborers that have been employed, the sleeper materials come from the timber processing factories in the middle of the Hidden Forest in the upper reaches of the Isa River, and the rails come from the Fog City.

In order to reduce the amount of construction and on the other hand, taking into account the existing cargo handling capacity of Aili Industrial Zone, this trial operation railway only has a one-way track, and it is currently planned to go back and forth once a day and night.

As the five empty carriages were pulled by the horses in turn to lean onto the locomotive, the thick cast iron hooks were automatically locked, and the last blue-collar mechanic stepped off the front of the locomotive and shouted to Donner: "Lord Dean, the routine inspection of the first train of the Aili Railway has been completed, please review!"

Donner stepped forward with a smile, stepped into the empty locomotive cab, and waved to the eager workers next to the train, "What are you waiting for?

With his encouragement, the workers climbed up to the freight cars with a bang, and in the blink of an eye, the warehouses on both sides of the tracks were not left with a single person, and they were all crowded into the freight cars of the train. One by one, they looked out of the carriage excitedly and curiously.

It wasn't until Lisa walked into the locomotive cab that Donner glanced at her and slowly pushed the power lever.

After a violent vibration, the train started slowly, and the screeching sound of the wheels rubbing against the rails was heard outside the control room, then the mechanical sound of the locks and buffers stretching between the trains, and finally the earth-shattering cheers.

Donner smiled and pushed the push rod of the Avery 1 engine, the train slowly climbing in the direction of the mine.

Lisa, who was standing behind Donner and had been silent, suddenly said only then:

"I'm not going back. ”
