On the fourth day, Li Jianghao announced the order to lay another layer of track on the road leading to the cemetery.

Although the design of the track was newly drawn, the ready-made steam pipes were just right. Outside of the radiation range of the tower, it is covered with a thick layer of snow, and the only way to avoid clogging the road is by connecting the steam pipes to the corresponding buildings when paving the road.

It is only necessary to make simple sleepers from processed wood and fix them with steel. Reserve the steam pipes on the original road with a good connection, and it can be laid smoothly.

In just one day, the steam pipeline was laid, and all the engineers except for the maintenance station and the ambulance station and the ten basic engineers were combined by Li Jianghao to build the prototype of the rail car.

They used the furnace of the energy tower as the equipment for melting steel, and built the various parts according to the drawings drawn by Li Jianghao and Andrew yesterday. When playing the game, the people inside were able to build buildings and various machines in a very short time, which made Li Jianghao just feel that this was the setting of the game mechanics.

But when this speed was really displayed in front of him, he only felt that the forming speed of industrial machinery in this world was simply unreasonable, if it weren't for the advent of this apocalypse, the Ice Age world with such technology would probably be able to develop faster than his native world. Even earlier touched on space technology and opened up new paths.

However, he should focus on the present, and how to play the role of the rail car is what he should think about the most.

Li Jianghao threw away his cranky thoughts and watched the engineers assemble the various parts together. The base and axles of the railcar are assembled at the beginning of the road, and when the last cover plate is welded on, the railcar, which is quite old-fashioned steam locomotive-style, is finished, just waiting for the steam pipe to start running.

The railcars are much smaller than the locomotives that workers are familiar with, and they don't need a built-in steam structure to power them. This contrast has led some people to think that this rugged guy is a bit delicate and to doubt its durability.

Because the workers "secretly" knew that the mayor was going to build such a thing last night, they saw that after the rail car was assembled today, people's mood fluctuations were not large, and the dissatisfaction value did not increase.

Li Jianghao breathed a sigh of relief, personally twisted the steam valve of the rail car, connected to the steam pipe of the road, and announced that the engineers would board the rail car with him and go to the exit of the camp.

The tracks had been laid, but the platform for the railcars was still being built, so they had to walk back to the camp when the train reached the station.

The train soon began to run, and the steam power drove the rail car forward, Li Jianghao opened the hatch in front of him, revealing half of his body, feeling the impact of the cold wind brought by the movement.

The sound of the train's metal wheels running on the tracks reminds us of the steam locomotives that connected the empire and brought prosperity before winter arrived.

I don't know who shouted first, and people no longer suppressed the excitement in their hearts and shouted celebratory words.

It's like when they were young, they first saw the steam locomotive invented, moving from village to village, and they ran after the train.

When they grew up, steam locomotives moved from one industrial city to another. They get on the train and deliver the goods to various places.

Now that the end is approaching, the steam locomotive is still moving by their side, and an indescribable feeling is full of people's emotions.

The people shouted together:

"Long live the Queen! Long live the Empire! ”

Li Jianghao, who was at the head of the train, was also shocked when he heard this voice, that is, the content of the celebration words, Li Jianghao expressed his understanding, but also slightly embarrassed. The queen even sold her property to support scientific and technological research and development in the backstory, which can be regarded as dedicated to the country.

"With a 10% increase in hope, people see a glimmer of hope in the gears of the train going back to the spring days of the past. Keep up the good work, Savior. ”

The voice of the system sounded at the right time, and a smile appeared on the corner of Li Jianghao's mouth, he knew that he had made the right bet. This kind of technological power is far more useful than human power. Robots, which were originally steam-powered machines that could be used as a large workforce, have railcars that can connect resource buildings more quickly, and even open up new camps outward!

The presence of a rail car breaks the gap in distance, and even resembles a small dreadnought. The Winter House can be evacuated with the help of dreadnoughts in such a dangerous situation, and once this kind of rail car has a steam hub as a relay station, it can be laid out on the vast ice field due to the maximum range of the energy tower, and its transportation connection is immeasurable!

The workers at the front who were still building the platform greeted the arrival of the train, and they took the initiative to ask for help to work overtime to complete the construction of the platform. The hunters who are about to set off for the hunt even expressed their hope that they will wait until tomorrow and take the train back together!

For this enthusiasm, Li Jianghao did not abuse it, and asked them to rest after work, and today's task is only to lay tracks.

He then walked with the workers towards the center of the camp. Workers kept asking the engineer how it was like to ride the railcar. The engineers thanked the workers for laying such a long track in a single day, so that people would have the opportunity to ride the train in their lifetimes.

Andrew followed closely beside Li Jianghao, his expression was full of smiles, and he looked at Li Jianghao's face from time to time.

"First of all, I respect everyone's orientation, but I personally don't like it..."Li Jianghao felt a little strange to be stared at by a man, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Andrew:

"Mr. Mayor, I really doubt that you have been appointed mayor as a top member of the Academy of Sciences, rather than an imperial civil servant. I am ashamed of what I have learned, sir, but I am confident that you will lead us out of winter until the next spring comes! ”

Li Jianghao couldn't help but be happy and said:

"So, can you agree with me to convert the steam core into a steam engine?"

"No way!"

Li Jianghao was so angry that he couldn't say a word, turned his head, and decided to ignore this rigid-headed guy first.

Look at how cute the children in front of you are running towards you, what are you doing with this brainless entanglement?

Tonight, even Pierre, who was still not healed, was carried to the tavern, where the children played with hot soup. And the adults, once drunk, rest.

How beautiful it was, as if spring was still there, but winter had not yet arrived.
