Chapter 1113 Steam Train

From winter to spring, the taxes collected by the Dwarf Province did not disappoint Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan.

Looking at the gradually filling treasury, Luo Ji's breath was relieved.

In this way, while ensuring financial stability, development will naturally continue.

This year has been a busy and stable year for Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan.

The development of civilization has kept the two of them busy, but at the same time, nothing unexpected happened, which also made their lives quite stable.

At the same time, at the end of the summer of this year, the western border development project, which had lasted for many years, was finally basically completed.

Although there is still a lot of follow-up work to be dealt with, for those follow-up work, it is only necessary to leave a part of the workers to take their time.

As for the other workers, of course, they were quickly transferred to the railway project.

On the side of the Construction Engineering Department, the route map of the railway has already been confirmed, and even a lot of rail parts have been manufactured.

Now that workers are in place, it is natural to start work immediately.

According to Luo Ji's initial plan, first build railways and railway stations in the border cities to ensure the improvement of support efficiency. As for the rear cities, take it slow.

Anyway, between these cities, it is not a year or two that it is inconvenient to move.

Just like this, the project was officially launched, and after spending a lot of money, Luo Ji felt that he was a lot poorer all of a sudden, but that was impossible.

Next, what Luo Ji has to do is undoubtedly to keep an eye on the development progress of the steam train.

The most troublesome steam engine problem has been solved from the beginning, plus the blessing of gold-level design drawings. Although it is the first time to manufacture this new type of mechanical vehicle, as long as the technology is in place and the design drawings are no problem, the efficiency will be reduced. Basically nowhere to go.

System prompt: Congratulations to player 'Luo Ji' for successfully unlocking the technology item 'Steam Train'

At the end of summer the following year, the first steam train of Wanjie Civilization was officially born. Its birth made Luo Ji unlock a technology project without any accident.

Luo Ji briefly glanced at the effect bonus of that technology project, which basically meant to improve the production efficiency of steam trains. This project was surprisingly useful to him, at least he really needed it now, so he decided to upgrade to three levels in a row.

After the ascent, Luo Ji, who was on the steam train again, looked at the big black guy in front of him, and his face couldn't help showing a hint of surprise.

In the real world, steam trains like this can basically only be seen in some museums, or appear in some movies and TV series.

And now, it just quietly stopped at the position within reach.

His fingertips lightly touched the slightly thick black metal, and in the end, his entire palm was completely attached to it. The icy touch returned by him gave Luo Ji a strange feeling.

That kind of feeling, as if he was pushing an entire era forward, and a strong sense of satisfaction that kept filling his body and mind, was really incredible.

"call--"

With a long breath, Luo Ji first rewarded the staff of the Academy of Science and Technology, and then turned to ask Lu Yang and Ye Hua who were also here to observe...

"How is the construction of the railway project on the border?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the railway project on the west side of Gaoling City has been completed."

The person who answered at this time was Ye Hua. After all, Lu Yang had to worry about several other major projects within the Myriad Realms Civilization. Therefore, Luo Ji asked Ye Hua to help watch the railway project.

The first railway to be laid was the Western Border.

The reasons are not complicated, there are basically two.

The first reason is because the workers at that time happened to be in the western border, so we simply built the railway for the western border first, which also saved them from running back and forth and wasting time.

And this second reason is a little more serious.

It has been said before that the laying of railways will greatly improve the efficiency of movement between cities.

And the western border happens to be a relatively backward part of the civilization of Wanjie.

Therefore, Luo Ji wanted to use the advantage of 'convenient transportation' to see if it could drive the economic development of the western border and create more trade routes.

At the same time, he might be able to further improve his popularity among the dwarves.

In this way, the first steam locomotive of the Wanjie civilization is naturally given priority to the Western Border.

This incident will undoubtedly become the headline news of the newspaper, and it will focus on reporting, not only interviewing the R&D personnel of the Academy of Science and Technology, but also taking two photos to go back.

That's right, today's Wanjie civilization already has cameras.

But this thing was not created by Luo Ji, but a masterpiece by Gawain, so naturally, Luo Ji didn't need to invest money.

According to what Gawain said, he originally wanted to get a camera out for fun, and by the way, see if he could make a little money or something.

As it turns out, he was halfway there.

With the technical power of goblin technology, he did successfully create a cumbersome early camera. The pictures taken were in black and white, and it was not very clear, but there was no doubt that he succeeded in creating it. .

However, the reason why he is said to be half-successful is because this thing is not easy to sell at all...

The people were really interested in this quirky thing, but it was clearly an expensive item.

Although everyone's current life and income are generally good, the price still persuades a large number of people.

Up to now, except for a few rich people who bought one and went back to toss and play, the newspaper offices in each city purchased one in order to improve the quality of the newspapers.

Let Wanjie Civilization's newspaper successfully match a picture that is not clear.

The cameras developed by Goblin Technology have successfully exerted their value in newspapers, and the sales of newspapers with photos have indeed become higher than before.

Of course, it is also possible that the people simply want to see the new things that their Majesty has tossed out through photos, which is the so-called steam train.

At this moment, the benefits of publishing newspapers are undoubtedly further reflected.

You see, Luo Ji basically did nothing, but easily let the people know about the existence of a new type of vehicle, the steam train, through the newspapers they bought with their own money.

Even the role of steam locomotives is clearly written in the newspapers.

For a while, the topic of steam locomotives was also widely circulated in the entire civilization of the world.

Everyone is very curious, is the so-called steam train really able to travel back and forth between the two cities as quickly as the newspaper said!

As a priority to equip the first steam train in the Western Region, the mood of countless Western Region people at this moment is far more exciting than other people!

The update is sent. At the same time, I would like to thank the book friends 'It is a good book and very good' for the reward and the book friends 'Li Hao', 'Please call me Wang Tiedan', 'Huang Yifan', 'Shenwu Sunset', 'Wats7410' Monthly pass!
