Warhammer Wizard

Ren originally planned to live in the Red Dragon Fort until his son Full Moon.

However, he has too much to deal with.

The parliamentary responsibilities of Wezeland Floating City, several students, the affairs of Glamorgan and the Principality, as well as his own research, etc. Some can be delayed for a period of time, and more needs to be decided in time.

Aegon had just left for two days when Akalander, the vice president of the Mechanical Union, came to him.

"Ren." Under the guidance of a Scale Rider Blood Guard, Akland saw Ren who was teasing his son, and laughed loudly: "You really made me find a good meal." He glanced at it Rex, who was growing gradually, said, "Congratulations on becoming a father, this child knows at a glance that the future has a bright future."

"Thank you." Ren nodded reservedly, knowing that the other party was just complimenting and polite, but still felt very happy.

Maybe that's what it's like to be a parent.

He handed the babbling Rex into the nurse's arms, looked back at the dusty Akland, and asked, "You are so eager to find me, do you have something important?"

In recent years, the two have maintained close cooperation and are very familiar with each other, so they get along more casually.

"Nonsense!" Akland's eyes widened. "Have you forgotten what day it is today?"

"What day?" Ren didn't remember for a while.

"The Ssangyong Railway officially opened to traffic today." Akland replied angrily: "This railway is an idea you put forward. After more than two years of construction, it is finally about to open. You, the owner of the railway, should show up and attend the opening. Ceremony?"

"Sorry, it's my fault." Ren was a little embarrassed.

The Shuanglong Railway is indeed his own idea. The first phase of the project starts from Longji City, the capital of the duchy, and connects to another city in the northern part of the Duchy of Augustus, Stream City, and then goes north along the coast, passing through the three Drogon Fort Duchy. The main city, and finally arrived at the port of Kingsland, the capital.

There will be a second phase of the project in the future. The railway will pass through the dragon forest to connect the five cities in the south of the principality.

The third phase of the project is planned to go further. It will open up all the five principalities in the central and southern parts of Congatero. First, it will boost the economy of the cities along the railway. Second, it will facilitate the dumping of industrial products produced by the Principality of Augustus to other countries. Shipping back raw materials.

When the rail network is fully completed, it will be the lifeblood of Congatro's economy.

Ren took out his voice meter and looked at the time. It was only halfway through the morning and he said with a smile, "Is it too late for us to go there now?"

The opening ceremony was held at the starting station in Kingsland, the capital, not far from the Red Dragon Fort. It was located in the port area to the east, and it only took ten minutes to ride a horse.

"Everyone is waiting for you." Akalander stood up and said.

"Then go."

Ren asked Emily to inform Emily, and the guard returned to say that His Majesty would also attend the opening ceremony, so the trip became more grand.

After a while, Ren and Akland boarded Emily's magnificent carriage, guarded by the Scaled Blood Guards at the front and rear, and nearly 300 extraordinary knights on the outside to open the way, and drove out of the red in a mighty manner. Dragon Fort, which attracted pedestrians on the roadside to stop and watch.

Akland has seen Emilys several times before, although his strength is stronger than Emilys, but the invisible majesty brought by the crown makes him somewhat restrained.

Emily asked a few questions about the Mechanic Union and the railroad, and he answered them very well.

Ren looked at it from the side, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Akalander's soul fluctuated quite a bit, and his posture was cautious to the point of flattery.

Thinking of the process of cooperation between the Mechanics Union and himself in recent years, he gave all kinds of preferential conditions regardless of the cost, and even did not hesitate to do business at a loss, just to be able to fully implement mechanization in the Principality of Augustus, Ren had something in his heart. It is speculated that the plan of the Mechanic Union is not satisfied with Augustus, but has taken a fancy to the entire Kingdom of Congatro.

"The ambition of the Mechanical Union is not small!"

Ren couldn't help but secretly said.

Soon after, the Queen's motorcade entered the port area and arrived at the newly completed Wangdu Railway Station.

The style of this station is incompatible with the surrounding buildings. A five-storey building stands out from the crowd. The exterior wall made of cement and steel bars is painted gray. On the roof of the building, there are several big characters "Wangdu Station", each character is more than People are even taller, and it glows red at night, and can be seen from miles away.

On the lower side of the building is a spacious train platform with a canopy supported by steel brackets to shield it from the wind and rain.

Ren had only seen the design of the station before, and when he saw the real thing, he was suddenly dazed.

The train station in my previous life was like this when I was a child.

Later, when I grew up, most of the train stations were transformed into more advanced train stations. I didn't expect that in a different world, I would have the opportunity to relive the feeling of the past.

For railway transportation, he set up an "Augustus Railway Company", in which he and the mechanical union each own half of the shares. The mechanical union is responsible for the daily operation and maintenance of steam trains. The service personnel of the station are recruited from the local area and receive welfare benefits. Far more than ordinary work, it caused quite a stir at the time.

At this moment, the station was full of people, and the inside and outside of the platform were full of water.

Most of the people did not come to take the car, but to watch the fun.

The extraordinary security guards at the station had already been dispatched to maintain order on the scene, and made way for a passage at the gate of the station to allow the Queen's motorcade to enter.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the ticket hall.

Ren, Akland, and Emilys got out of the car, and the crowd surrounded by the Scaled Blood Guards separated by the human wall immediately slammed into a large half-knelt, and someone shouted loudly: "Meet Your Majesty the Queen. !"

The person in charge of Wangdu Station stood respectfully at the bottom of the steps. He was a high-level mechanic transferred from the Empire by the Mechanical Union. He was not only responsible for the management of Wangdu Station, but also the general manager of the railway company. He was very experienced in transportation management. experience.

The mechanic led several major managers of the railway company, stepped forward and saluted: "See the Queen."

Then he greeted Ren and Akland, "Sir Duke, Your Excellency Vice President."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Emily had been a queen for a few years, and she was accustomed to this kind of scene. She smiled and waved to the people around her before being surrounded by the station hall.

The crowd in the hall was separated by the Scale-Controlling Blood Guards. The mechanic accompanied Emilys and her party to visit the entire station, walked around the interior of the railway company upstairs, and finally returned to the platform. The steam train is parked on the track, waiting to go.

The iron shell of the steam train is painted a striking green, which is a bit strange to anyone who sees it for the first time, but it feels very comfortable after watching it for a long time.

In fact, it was Ryan's strong request.

Most of the twelve carriages of the train were full of passengers, and only the luxury carriage at the end was still empty, which was reserved for Ren and Akarand.

After a solemn ceremony presided over by the Queen herself, Ren and Akarand waved goodbye to Emilys, and the two boarded the train. Under the curious eyes of the people of the Royal Capital, they slowly drove out of the platform.

Woohoo!

Besides, besides...

The rhythmic friction between the wheels and the rails made Ren feel familiar and brought back memories of previous lives. The train traveled smoothly and slowly picked up speed, and soon after leaving Kingsland far behind, it moved fast along the tracks.

Ren looked at the scenery passing by the window, and visually estimated that the speed of the steam train was about 80 kilometers per hour, which was the same as the speed of the imperial train.

This speed is just right, if it is faster, there will be risks, and too much ash and coal will be consumed; if it is slowed down, the utilization rate of the railway will be too low, and the transportation potential will not be fully realized.

"how?"

Akland, who was sitting opposite, drank a sip of the black tea brought by the flight attendant, stretched out his body comfortably on the soft sofa, and asked in a relaxed manner, "Is the Duke still satisfied?"

"Very good!" Ren nodded, expressing his satisfaction.

The mechanics union has indeed spared no effort in cooperating in the past few years, but it also made him more suspicious of the mechanics union's motives.

"You can enjoy the scenery along the way slowly, I want to sleep." Akland stretched, "Wake me up again when you arrive at Dragon's Back City."

After speaking, he fell asleep quickly.

However, the eye of the soul saw that Akland did not really fall asleep, and the soul fluctuations were still very active, apparently pretending to be asleep.

"This guy……"

Ren snorted, guessing that Akland was afraid that he should ask things he shouldn't ask, so he had to pretend to sleep to escape.

Forget it, if you have the advantage first, the purpose of the mechanic union will be exposed sooner or later.

The first phase of the Ssangyong Railway is less than 400 miles in length. It passes through four stations. The first three are in the territory of Fort Drogon. Each station stops for about ten minutes to allow passengers to get on and off. After more than three hours, the steam train finally entered the territory of the Principality of Augustus, and soon the scenery outside the window changed.

The large tracts of cultivated farmland have been neatly planned, and the crops planted are also the same, which is pleasing to the eye from a distance.

There are not many farmers working in the fields.

Half of them are driving mechanical farm implements powered by steam, like simplified and refitted cars, doing sowing, fertilizing and mowing. The work efficiency of one person can match dozens or even hundreds of people.

When the train passed by, these farmers would also cast their gazes, but they were not as surprised as the farmers in Fort Drogon.

The front is getting closer and closer to Xiliu City, and the villages and towns on both sides of the railway are getting denser and denser.

Gradually, you can see a smooth paved road. Various types of motorcycles are running on the road. There are two-wheeled and three-wheeled ones. Occasionally, four-wheeled cars can be seen carrying loads of goods, going back and forth. in cities and suburbs.

Before the train entered the city, huge chimneys could be seen in the distance, emitting white smoke and water vapor into the sky.

These are all factories under Ren's name, managed by the city hall, and there are roughly a dozen of them.

The city wall of Stream City was demolished in three years, and the steam train drove directly into the station located in the city. When it stopped, Ren saw a crowd of people outside.

The wide streets have been rebuilt to accommodate six cars in parallel, and the streets are clean and tidy, always swept. Pedestrians on the road were in a hurry. Everyone had their own job. Their clothes were much neater and thicker than those of the people in other principalities.

Not far away, in the temple school of the goddess of magic, the voices of students reading and literacy were heard.

The city is full of construction sites~www.wuxiaspot.com~ New schools, factories and residential buildings will be built. When completed, it will be able to accommodate more people and attract people from the countryside to live in the city.

The whole city is full of vigor.

If someone left Brook City three years ago and comes back now, it is almost impossible to recognize this city that is not far from the sea but has always been very poor. Earth-shaking is not enough to describe it.

The same changes didn't just happen in Stream City. The seven cities of Augustus were all developing with each passing day, but in different degrees.

The guard at Xiliu Station recognized Ren on the car, and with a look of excitement, he hurriedly went to notify the mayor.

However, when the mayor arrived, he only saw the smoke from the train leaving, and he couldn't help beating his chest. He only regretted that he couldn't transmit spells and missed the great opportunity to report to the Duke face to face.

The steam train continued to travel for nearly an hour and arrived at the end of the trip - Longji City.
