Extraordinary Sailing

"Three, two, one, detonate!"

Boom——!

Under the control of the blasting engineer, who had gradually mastered the charge, most of a small hill was directly blown away, making way for the steel giant dragon to advance.

The chief engineer of the "Binhai Railway Company" in the rear waved his hand:

"Continue construction!"

Hundreds of engineering personnel swarmed with various tools.

The first site to start construction is located in the wilderness between Fort Lauderdale and Key West. Although it is mainly plains, there are all kinds of terrain along the way, such as river valleys, hillsides, forests, and grasslands.

It is also to allow railway workers to become familiar with the laying process and conduct large-scale training.

At this time, in the construction team recruited by the Binhai Railway Company, the slaves of the Anuma and the free people carefully selected from the territory accounted for half, and some soldiers were recruited from the army of the territory to be incorporated into the engineering team.

As long as the "Fort Lauderdale-Key West" section can be built, there will not be many places where they can be difficult to live in on the vast land along the coast.

In addition, there is an official wizard and three wizard apprentices from the "Mechanical Eternal Life School" who take turns to oversee the work, and can solve any problems in time.

Moreover, the "Georgia Corridor" is originally a single-track railway, and there is only one main line in the transportation section, which is far less complicated than double-track or double-track railways.

The single line is not only for one-way driving, but also for two-way running. However, in the same section or in the same blocked area, only one train is allowed to run at the same time, and the rendezvous of opposite trains and the overrun of trains in the same direction must be carried out within the station or avoidance line.

In the current era when the territory's steam industry has just started, the single-track railway is already sufficient to meet the territory's transportation capacity requirements.

The estimated construction period of the entire 368-kilometer Georgia corridor is one year. After the infrastructure team is trained, the speed of the project that runs through the entire Phalatis colony will only be faster.

Moreover, the Appayachi Mountains that run from north to south are rich in coal, and every station along the railway can provide sufficient fuel, and the logistics can be said to be stress-free.

Standing on a small hill not far away, Aiwen nodded silently with his gem cane in his hand:

"My road of infrastructure madness officially started from here."

He has already received the news that the first batch of Ilya refugees who arrived with the convoy have landed in St. Ivan City. Combined with the news they brought, it can be expected that there will be a large number of new immigrants from Ilya who have no property in the future.

Many even came here as indentured slaves, desperate for a new job to support their families.

Those people should be enough to get this massive rail project off the ground.

In this process, Aiwen will also take advantage of the first-mover advantage to formulate standards, starting from the determination of the track width as 1500mm, and the steam locomotive standard is the same, and then seize the technological highland in the field of railway transportation.

With this as a starting point, any region that uses the technology of the "Corridor Railway Company" in the future must follow their standards. Help Aiwen gain an absolute right to speak in this industry, even a monopoly position.

"This is the running track of a steam locomotive? Can this kind of creation really hold more than a merchant ship and run faster than a galloping horse?"

Beside Ivan, Anthony and Dillis looked at the busy construction site below with sparkling eyes.

"Of course, you will find out after the completion of the project. In fact, this is one of the projects I plan to share with the kingdom. The larger the base, the better the effect of boosting the economy. I regard it as steam Milestones of the Industrial Revolution!"

Ai Wen boasted without blushing.

Actually.

Since he entered the core of power in the kingdom last year and Georgia was on the list of arms suppliers to the kingdom, all the procedures to prepare for the war against rebellion were hasty and crude.

Now it is the Kingdom that wants to accept "Vulcan Metal Company" and enter the investigation process of the military and industrial production system led by "Violet Eye". The results of the investigation will determine Vulcan's position in the Kingdom's industrial chain.

In this framework system, the functions of formulating price and process standards, quickly handling international patents, initiating investment, mediating internal disputes, acting as an import and export agent, and coordinating relations with governments of various countries are all available.

Alvin always thinks long-term.

For things like industrialization, you can guide the direction yourself, but if the industry really wants to take shape, it needs the concerted efforts of thousands of follow-up researchers and industrial workers.

People who want to take advantage of everything have absolutely no great prospects for development. Tulip is already at the forefront of the development of the steam industry. Since there is such an east wind, it would be a fool not to borrow it.

The technical team that has been developed for decades, the gradually mature industrial workers, the supporting upstream and downstream industrial chains, including the huge consumer market, are all a huge asset.

At least in the New World, except for the Cyrus people who can dig gold directly from the soil, the consumption power of other regions is very impressive. At least within dozens or hundreds of years, the old continent's position as the center of the world will not be shaken.

Just as he once commented on "Lady Crow", culture, system, and technology are just like heredity. Blind isolation and exclusion are inbreeding, which will lead to deformity and premature death.

The Sea Monster Pointer, Alchemy Bomb, Alchemy Stone, Sniper Rifle, Beast’s Breath potion of the Alchemy School, and even the essence of many technologies of the "Alchemy School" - [Legendary Battleship Steam Fortress] cannot be underestimated.

Aiwen naturally would not make such a low-level mistake.

Today, Anthony and Dillis are the early liaison personnel representing "Eye of Violet" and "Light of Alchemy". Because of their good personal relationship with Aiwen, they got the good job of this public trip.

It can also be said to be a honeymoon trip.

"I didn't expect not to see each other for a few years. Anthony has successfully been promoted to an official wizard. In the end, the two of you got together. My childhood sweetheart makes others envious."

Alvin was a little emotional.

He still remembered that Di Lisi said before that she wanted to increase her own value to resist the political marriage of the big family based only on interests and the boring life of husband and child.

But now that he has reached the marriageable age, he still walked into the palace of marriage with the children of the big family as the established destiny.

It's just that the relationship between the childhood sweethearts is a matter of course, and although there are factors of marriage, they also have meaningful feelings. At least married life looks very harmonious, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The newlyweds looked at each other, smiled sweetly, and then Anthony solemnly bowed:

"Aiwen, I would also like to thank you for entrusting me with part of the research and development of "Sonar". In addition to the accumulation of sound knowledge from the previous "Song of the Siren", this is the groundbreaking achievement that can satisfy promotion."

Among the three branches of the "School of Alchemy", one needs to complete one's own pioneering achievements when one is promoted to an official wizard. Although the requirements are far less demanding than those of the high-level wizards of the "Activation School", it is not something that ordinary people can easily complete independently.

Even if this kind of achievement is simple, it is not as perfunctory as the utility model that Aiwen can buy casually for two thousand yuan in his previous life.

Dillis, whose mental strength has already reached the standard, is obviously stuck at this step.

The most direct consequence is that the official wizard Anthony already has a long lifespan, while Dillis, who is an apprentice, is still similar to a normal person. It doesn't need a hundred years, as long as a few decades later, the two people will be very different.

"It's nothing. When we invented the 'Song of the Siren', we worked together to complete it. The distance from 'Sonar' is only a flash of inspiration. Maybe you can think of it sooner or later without my help.

By the way, when you got married last year, I was on the battlefield and didn't care about other things, so I just happened to make up for the presents for you. "

In the alchemy school, Dilis, the eldest lady of the "Light of Alchemy" guild, is from the "Poisons" branch, and Anthony, the young master of the Cramer family of the Noble Association, is from the "Alchemy Equipment and Enchanting Projects" branch.

The Cramer family is an ancient family that took root in "Newing Port" when it was still a noble fief, and is essentially the leader of the noble association. Although it is still not as high as the fifty-nine seats of the parliamentary members, it is only below it.

Moreover, unlike the Aimer family, which has been separated from the core of the kingdom's power for a long time, the Kramer family, which has been working in the kingdom, has an intricate relationship. There are also several official wizards belonging to the "Eye of Violet" in the family, with great potential.

With the vigorous development of the steam industry, the alchemist (mechanical engineer) guild "Alchemy Light" is the only wizard-affiliated force that can appear openly in the eyes of the public and the Church.

It represents the general trend and trend.

In the great transformation of productivity, the "Alchemy School" is just a pure research and development department. If it wants to truly enter thousands of households, it is necessary to transform from technology to products. This key step is the work of "Light of Alchemy".

Although the Dillis family manages only the "Light of Alchemy" within the Phaletis Kingdom, its influence is already very good because of the kingdom's dominant position, and it maintains close contact and cooperation with guilds in other countries. .

The two of them can be regarded as the winners in life, and they have always had a good relationship, and they haven't lost contact for several years.

Even with Aiwen's current status and strength, this relationship is worth his effort to continue to maintain. In his opinion, friendship and interests do not conflict, and it is more stable when there is communication.

"Diris, look at this first."

Aiwen took out a bottle of "biological enzyme preparation" obtained by analyzing the [Secondary Elixir], and handed it to the curious Dillis.

"It comes from a tiny substance produced by the metabolism of some extraordinary organism, smaller than a cell recognized by humans.

It can significantly enhance cell activity and delay aging, and as long as the body functions begin to degenerate at the age of 35, if you continue to take this drug, you can extend your natural lifespan by 30%! "

"this"

Dillis' body shook slightly, her first thought was not to prolong her life, but to feel that a door to a new world of "Potions" was slowly opening to her.

In the past, the main raw materials for the preparation of potions came from plants and biological materials in nature. And this kind of research results of exploring the microcosm and discovering the mysteries of the human body fascinated Di Lisi, a wizard apprentice from the "Potion" branch.

"Although the main research direction of the current 'Potion Science' is 'enhancement', the fundamental purpose is still 'healing'. In addition to this life-extending potion, I can also provide you with a research direction, which also belongs to biomedicine In the field of finished products, that is - vaccines!"

Vaccines are autoimmune preparations made by artificially attenuating and inactivating pathogenic microorganisms (such as bacteria and viruses) and their metabolites to prevent infectious diseases.

If it can come out, it will definitely be a milestone great invention in modern medicine.

The two of them were at a loss for this strange new term:

"vaccine?"

Ivan smiled mysteriously at them:

"Let's go, we'll discuss this in detail another day. It's time to get down to business. You have come all the way to the New World. First let you see the new weapons developed by the 'Vulcan Metal Company'. Let's experience for yourself what it means to not talk about martial arts. !"
