After the two-day dream trip, the gray slate roof of the castle appeared in front of Roland again. .Update the fastest
He stretched out his hand, clenched and opened his fist repeatedly, except for the absence of that peculiar heat flow, his every move was so consistent with the feeling in the dream world, if he hadn't been able to escape by falling, he would be unable to distinguish between illusion and reality.
Can the brain really simulate this far
Roland couldn't help but wonder.
Especially the "star cluster" that looks like a cyclone of magic power. He has never really seen the appearance of magic power. If the power of nature is shaped by magic power, it should be blurred in dreams.
Coupled with the weird focal-faced man, and the heat flow that resonated with the star cluster... He suddenly became uncertain about the previous inference.
I feel like I can't hold such a complex and huge dream world in my mind.
If the dream is not in the subconscious, where is it
After thinking about it for a long time, Roland could not come up with a satisfactory answer.
He shook his head, deciding to put those things aside for now.
Since you don't understand, don't think about it at all, it's more important to do business first.
After taking Zero to the library, he borrowed a lot of usable design materials, even if he just flipped through them, he could reproduce them all.
One of the books also includes the proportions and properties of some commonly used alloys, which will undoubtedly save Anna and Lucia's testing time.
In this way, the third generation of machine tools for the creation of higher precision parts is in place.
Of course, the first batch of operators may have to be guided by him personally.
Roland felt particularly excited when he thought that people from all over Greycastle were gathering in the West, and those who had settled down had passed the general education assessment one after another, and went to work in batches.
This is an ever-accelerating process, and he has now opened up the situation. When Greycastle is unified next year, Neverwinter City may have the opportunity to touch the threshold of the industrial age.
And once it enters the industrial age, this territory will undergo earth-shaking changes.
In the afternoon, Minister of Construction Karl Vanbert brought the news of the completion of Route 67. Compared with Kingdom Avenue, the construction time of this highway is much faster. In addition to the shorter distance, the proficiency of the workers is also a key. point.
According to the previous promise, the workers trained by the Ministry of Construction have all been owned by the border areas.
"Your Majesty, if you don't have a new road construction plan, I plan to send them all to the residential construction project," Carl said. "Although it will increase some salary expenses, the residential area in Neverwinter is really in short supply."
Roland also knew about this situation. Half of the construction team of nearly 5,000 people were busy building new communities. The reason was to accommodate the large number of people drawn by the city hall from various places. In just one year, the original town has at least tripled, not including the newly reclaimed farmland south of the Chishui River.
"The road can't be repaired," he spread out the map of the border area and pointed to the North Slope Mountain Road. "I plan to build a railway from the mine to the wharf to carry the coal from the west."
"Isn't there already a road here..." Karl suddenly paused, "You said... the railway?"
"Yes, railways, or rails." Roland nodded. "It's similar to the rail transportation system in a mine, but it's all made of steel."
"I see," he thought for a moment, "but it won't take many people."
If it is just to pave a narrow hardened road, it really doesn't need many people. Roland smiled and didn't say it clearly. In fact, he knew that the Minister of Construction did not understand at all, and he was not thinking of the simple transportation methods of mines that rely on hemp ropes, steam engines or horses, nor just to transport coal.
What he wanted was a train.
A vehicle that has revolutionized land transportation since its invention.
And this short-distance railway is an attempt.
The principle of a steam train is not complicated, but the railway system is a behemoth. Roland doesn't know how many years of trials and improvements have taken place from the invention of the train and its supporting equipment to practical use, but it must be a long process.
Fortunately, these things can be found in the dream world.
As a symbol of industry, he seemed to have a deep fascination with these behemoths.
No matter how heavy they carry, they always spit white mist and walk steadily between the jungle and the mountains. The pitch-black connecting rods turn multiple wheels with a rhythmic clang that shortens the vast landmass to an acceptable level. No matter how the way of power has changed since then, its essence has always been the same.
Of course, it is not enough to have hardware facilities alone. The train needs a large number of railway workers performing their duties to drive it, which is undoubtedly much more complicated than simply operating a steam engine or a machine tool.
According to Roland's plan, the railway linking the North Slope Mountains and the wharf was both a technical experiment and a training base for the first generation of railway workers.
"Let's use 200 people to lay out the roadbed first," Roland said, "Just go in the direction of the Hidden Forest and build it to the outside of the second city wall."
Carl looked worried, "But Your Majesty... In this way, your rails will be exposed to the attack of evil beasts."
"They're not interested in steel, and I'm not going to finish it before the evil moon," he said nonchalantly. "As for next year, we won't be hiding behind this mud wall any more. Is it getting crowded?"
"what do you mean… "
"Expand into the wild land, where the resources are no less than those in Greycastle," Roland pointed to the fertile area on the northwest side of the Extremis Mountains. "It's not something a thin wall of earth can do to fight the devil."
If the War of Divine Will breaks out and the devil drops the third obelisk on Taquila, the outpost may approach the foot of the Extremis Mountains. Just defending the gap in the western border is almost a sure-fire game. The Mutual Aid Society was able to enter the wilderness along the mountain path back then, and they could also sneak into the hinterland of Greycastle in the same way.
Even if you don't take the mountain road, just a group of flying terrifying beasts bypassing the mountain peaks, coming to the rear every day and riding your face is uncomfortable enough.
Only by turning the Extremis Mountains into a city wall can the safety of the kingdom be protected.
The fortress guns were erected on various hilltops, and the range covered by the range was Roland's new town.
There are no rivers connecting the mainland in this area. If you want to quickly transport resources to the wild land, you can only rely on railways to do it.
"The future line of defense planning is a big project, but I believe you can do it."
Incorporating the Extremis Mountains into the kingdom's territory sounds like it can make any mason fascinated. If such a city can be built, it will definitely leave a name in history.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Minister of Construction said excitedly.
