Chapter 51: The Rails

The roads in the town are in much better condition than in the rest of the mountains, but they are not enough for the development of industry.

Although the area was not rugged, the transportation conditions were still very primitive, so Vincent rubbed various tools for the dwarves and militiamen, teaching them to dig the base, fill it in layers, sprinkle it with water, dry it quickly with magic, flatten it, roll it down, and lay it with gravel......

This seems to be a road construction, but it makes people feel that it is an act of superfluous behavior, although it caused people to doubt, but in view of their loyalty to the lord, everyone still did it seriously.

Some of the dwarves were skilled craftsmen, and although this bit of civil work was new, it was not that difficult, and with the help of magic, their learning and operation quickly met Vincent's requirements.

"You can slowly repair the road, slowly revise and study, and today I will do a demonstration first."

The next thing happened on a section of the roadbed that had been repaired.

The lord used the protection and used the scrap iron on the fallen golem to rub two extremely slender iron bars and fix them to the ground.

"These are the railroad tracks on which goods or people carry vehicles along fixed lines." "Metal rails have a high load-bearing capacity and can also greatly reduce the friction between the body and the ground, and usually one or two animals are enough to drag a whole car."

"If some people think they can challenge the law and the public interest, they don't mind doing the job of pulling a cart." Vincent added another sentence with very demon characteristics, "When a cow is a horse, it can't be just an adjective, even if you are tired to death, you can't get rid of it if you become a corpse."

The reason for this is that the lord used various materials to rub out the vehicles on the tracks, which required additional traction.

This kind of container car used with rails and suitable for human and livestock pulling, looks unremarkable, but because it is equipped with cast iron wheels with protruding inner rims, the rails can constrain the wheel position by themselves, not only can they run smoothly, but they also do not have to worry about derailment.

Jana volunteered to pull the cart, not because she liked to be a cow or a horse, but because she wanted to challenge herself to how much weight she could pull.

Cana is out of the horse, a top two.

Experiments have proved that on the track, whether it is sitting in the car or putting goods, it is fast and stable to walk.

What's even more surprising is that in addition to the slightly technical content of the axle, the production of the vehicle can be directly imitated by other dwarves, and then it will not completely lose the function of repair and replacement because the lord is no longer there. For road transport in large quantities.

If necessary, larger and more comfortable models can be improved as needed, which is a breeze for the Dwarven Craftsman.

"I'm going to build more tracks, and I want to extend the tracks, and I can transport goods more easily inside and outside the mountains." Vincent said to the dwarves, "Hurry up the roadbed, and I'll put the rails in the storehouse for the rest of the day."

The skeletons worked tirelessly, neither white nor black, and Vincent believed that if the roadbed was built fast enough, within a few days, the mining area, the workshop area, and the downhill road would be connected so that the heavy iron carts could run smoothly on it.

At present, with the dwarven forging and processing technology, they can't make such a long distance of rails, and without the protection of the lord, they can't make the same replacement, so they don't have to worry about getting out of control.

"These are just the beginning, and they are certainly not enough to complete the grand plan, but if I want to expand the scale of the track after I leave, I can make branch lines by using iron sheets and light cars on wooden tracks, and I can complete more routes." Vincent's advice to the admiring dwarves is that "when the local steel production is sufficient for the existing construction needs, the town can also produce steel rails and spread them all over the territory."

There are too many front-end technologies for railways, and Vincent has not yet considered solving the power problem, and it is already a great progress to be able to solve the capacity problem.

"Rather than worrying about imitation, we should be concerned about standard-setting." Vincent said to Ninia, "The current standard of the Mara orbit in the territory needs to be determined, and it must be promoted elsewhere."

"Master, this track is so good, but where does the width standard come from?" Ninia asked curiously, "I haven't heard of you before

This kind of orbit ......"

Vincent glanced at the eager centaur knights next to him, especially Jana who boasted of her strength, and smiled faintly.

"Originally, it was determined based on the width of the wheels of the carriage, but how wide the carriage was depends on the width of the horse. Cana has the most athletic horse in the territory, and of course she is the standard......

"It's hip-wide...... Ninia stuck out her tongue, "I'm glad she doesn't know."

"Actually, there are quite a few people who like her." Vincent quipped, "After all, the upper body is still very impressive, and the lower body is not unappreciated."

"I always feel a little perverted." Ninia's words were a little sour, "You always pay attention to her......

"I think I can only see you dangling in front of my eyes most of the time," Vincent reassured, "I don't think of her as a toy, but as a weapon."

"Toys, weapons, neither of which are words to please girls." Ninia frowned, "Master, you're too blunt."

"Then you don't like this arrangement?" Vincent asked, "Tell me what you think."

"As long as my master must command me to do so, I ...... I can do my best." Ninia gave a shy and writhing expression, "Weapons, tools, toys, in fact, they are all the same......

There was an indescribable change in this child, Vincent could not speak, but he could feel it, not dangerous, but sometimes strange.

Jana, who was pulling the cart, didn't know that she was famous before she knew it.

As a result, a standard for track width called "Cana style" was established, and Miss Cana "Red Whirlwind" became famous all over the world, attracting many people to talk about her figure.

But that's all for later.

While the dwarves marveled at the Lord's ingenuity, Vincent went on to do a real job, not content with a one-way track line, but installing movable turnouts on the rails to reduce the number of unnecessary tracks in one fell swoop.

The rails of several large production departments in the workshop area can be manually controlled, so that the vehicle can directly skip the carousel and enter a more advanced stage.

The railway can not only transport goods, but also sit people, and the town is less than six miles from the workshop to the mine, and now the horse-drawn iron wheeled car can go back and forth hundreds of times a day, which is really fast and easy.

Every day the dwarves have to go to the mine to work and get off work, and the journey has become more comfortable, this invention is a real gospel, and all the dwarves who still have a grudge against the demons are grateful to the lord for this.

This solves the problem of low road transportation in the past, and the dwarves no longer have to worry about the time-consuming and laborious transportation of ore and finished products.

"It's not easy to raise livestock, and the conditions in the mountains are limited, so it's difficult to raise them on a large scale." Kalul offered his opinion to Vincent, "I have an immature idea."

"I know, you want to use a golem." Vincent seemed to have seen through his idea, "It's a good idea, but it can't be implemented at the moment, use livestock to transition first, and when your product is successful, you can replace it."

After getting along for the past few days, Kaluel's last prejudice and doubts about the demon lord have disappeared, and the lord is not a little ahead of the dwarf technology in terms of technical cognition, he has already regarded Vincent as a technological prophet.

"My lord, I would like to develop a vehicle-like golem that can pull a large number of iron-wheeled carts to run, thus saving livestock and time." In a matter of days, Kalul saw the future that Vincent was looking forward to, "If this technology is realized, the territory will be firmly in your hands."

It shouldn't be difficult for someone who can make a golem to develop vehicle technology.

"Yes, everywhere the track goes, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and industry prospers everywhere," Vincent approving, "and if you succeed, your merits will not be under Dardin."
