Release that Witch

959. Chapter 959 Witness History

    The next day, Neverwinter City ushered in the fourth holiday after the fall, and it was the first weekend of Zhongqiu.

    Since there is no such thing as Genesis in the world, for most people, they have to be busy all the time to fill their stomachs. Since Roland’s promulgation of the rules of the seven-day break, citizen has put this gratitude on his head – able to take a full day off, not deducting the salary, so the kindness and love of the people’s feudal lord What is picky?

    Especially after the migrants who moved from the field experienced the living environment of Neverwinter City, they all settled down here, even if the City Hall’s publicity against Devil could not contain this momentum. Hunger and poor, even the threat of Devil has become less important.

    However, Barov’s report indicates that after the official opening of the rest day system, Neverwinter City’s production situation has not been affected too much. The main reason is that rest is not mandatory, and there are many people who choose to continue working and earn extra compensation. However, the city’s trade behavior has grown substantially. On weekends, the square area is always overcrowded. Not only the local merchants, but even the foreign traders are swaying. They choose to open the sale on this day and spend the rest of the time on the acquisition. Western Region featured products and resold to other places.

    This week-long flow of goods was unimaginable a year ago, but now with the growing number of cement ships, the pace of trade has become more rapid. Inland big cities like Scarlet Water City can even eat fresh sea fish from the Port of Shoal and immersed in ice. In the past, noble and merchants there could only eat salted and salted dried fish.

    In view of this, Roland simply put the major publicity, results display, and various awards ceremonies on the rest day, and further promoted the active trade trade through the habits of the masses – the so-called wool is on the sheep, paying more The salary can be recovered from the sale and purchase of taxes and consumption, which is a multi-pronged strategy.

    This weekend is no exception, the warmth of the summer has not yet dispersed, the cloudless blue sky blowing the breeze, obviously a good weather for travel. The streets are crowded, from the inland river dock to the north wall of the city, where you can see the crowd waiting for you.

    The difference is that they are not buying a few pounds of good meat to go to the convenience market, but waiting to witness the new invention of His Majesty The King.

    An unprecedented trial of the first train, the “train”.

    Jeweler Victor is also one of them.

    After learning about City Hall’s propaganda, he even threw a big deal that he was talking about to his men. He even took a cement boat from Old Kingdom Capital to Neverwinter City overnight.

    Victor is undoubtedly one of those who have a strong touch on the changes in the Western Region over the years. When he was still a small town in the distance, he visited the feudal lord. For the executive, he did not leave too much impression, just remember that it was a bloated middle-aged noble, and complained that it was his turn to manage this barren land. If it is not occasional to get one or two good raw gems from the opponent’s hands, he is expected to stop at Longsong Stronghold.

    Even so, Victor is the most visited in the Western Region once a year, and no matter when he comes, this little town is almost as old and decaying as the previous year. But in the last three years, he has come here more frequently, especially after Roland Wimbledon announced his city, he basically reached the point of Once a month.

    The Greycastle Western Region seems to be another world.

    Here, the day is no longer a day, but a month; the same month is no longer a month, but a year, otherwise it is difficult for him to explain why the change of Neverwinter City can quickly reach this point.

    Victor walked into a street-facing pub, and the boss immediately smiled and greeted him. “I knew you would come, and I specially left you a window seat on the third floor.”

    He took out a silver royal and threw it to the other party. “Take me up.”

    “Yes, please come with me.”

    As a frequent visitor to this pub, Victor naturally does not have to choose to crowd the streets with civilians – although there are many people on the third floor, at least the horizon is much wider.

    The people around are already talking about the show today.

    “That narrow street is the way the train will go? It’s too far from the central square and the residential area. ”

    Street I don’t know, it’s called track system, something used in the mining site. ”Then someone laughed and said, “Since it is not for people, of course, it is farther away from people. You think the train is a carriage!”

    “What are you talking about in the Silver Light City mine?”

    “Yes, it was originally produced here and needs to be used with the Steam engine.”

    Victor couldn’t help but join in the fun. “I have seen the steam engine pulled by the trailer. The advantage is that it doesn’t care about the terrain. If you put it on the ground, the Hummer can completely replace it. If this is the case, should City Hall not promote it as a “trans-transportation tool”? ”

    “Maybe it’s just a gimmick.”Another person muttered.

    “Go,” there was a buzzing sound immediately around. “Are you coming to Neverwinter City for the first time?” Your Majesty Roland can never boast of this aspect of Haikou. ”

    The man was convinced that he still wanted to say something more, and there was a whistle of high-pitched whistle in the distance.

    Hmmm…

    “Come on, it’s coming!”The room suddenly boiling, everyone would peep out of the window, staring at the small street on the side of the castle, and some of the preparers also took out the telescope from their arms.

    Victor also looks at the source of the sound –

    I saw a black long dragon slowly coming out of the sheltered house, and it was reflected in the eyes of everyone. Its size is huge, its head is like an iron bucket on the wheel, and the top of the bucket is sprayed out of the gray smoke, which is exactly the same as when the Steam engine is running.

    Next to the front of the car, there is also a four-wheeled carriage – the carriage is pulled by two horses, and its speed is comparable to that of a train. It looks like it is in a contest. However, it is quite difficult for every step of the horse to be filled with a box of ore. This can be seen from the fact that the driver is constantly waving the whip. If the iron casting wheel is not used, the carriage may have been crushed. .

    As the train gradually showed its full picture, Victor couldn’t help but feel the goose bumps behind it.

    There are one car after another behind the front of the car. They almost all have four or five carriages, and they are also filled with ore. From the weight point of view, I am afraid that it is comparable to a riverboat dedicated to transportation. It is.

    The problem is that it carries several train cars at the same time!

    The people’s exclamations are endless!

    FourThe fourth! ”

    Five

    “After the impossible, is there?”

    “Gods are on, six!”

    “Come out, the seventh!”

    Like a monster, the front of the car dragged the entire seven trains, passing through the open space in front of the castle at an extremely steady speed.

    The questions in Victor’s mind have also been answered.

    A Steam engine that is fixed at the mine entrance, specializes in pulling in and out of the mine, and a Steam engine that can operate autonomously are completely different concepts.

    The latter means that as long as the rail is built, it can transport a large shipment. Weight is no longer a bottleneck for land transportation, but it is more powerful than shipping. If Your Majesty is willing, he can even evacuate a city in a short time.

    Victor, a family of merchants, naturally knows the transport of transportation, and most cities are built on rivers near there is no reason. The emergence of such a vehicle will bring unlimited possibilities for the flow of natural resources, and the theory of the times is not exaggerated.

    He felt an indescribable rush to the heart, and there was both satisfaction and loss…He feels that he is witnessing history, but at the same time he has been abandoned by history. In other kingdoms, the feudal lords are still immersed in the sound of dogs and horses. Their way of travel is still horses and cars. Their roads are still covered with bricks and mud. .

    But they are completely ignorant and used to it.

    Victor couldn’t help but think of a thought.

    The future has arrived, except that it is not evenly distributed.
