Douluo overthrows the gods
Chapter 278 The train is heading for a beautiful distance
Douluo World, which has extraordinary qualities, is really superior in the field of materials. For example, the solidified soil used to build houses and roads is a material similar to concrete. After solidification, it has the hardness of pig iron. In terms of solidity and durability,
Use cement that far exceeds the highest grade.
Not to mention all kinds of metals, the Sun and Moon Continent has rich deposits of special metals, mithril, copper essence, star trace iron, red gold... But these treasures belonging to the soul master can only be obtained from ordinary pig iron, copper and other metals.
The difficulty is almost non-existent.
In this Douluo world where plants can become spirits, wood is simply stronger than the hundred-forged steel and thousand-forged steel made by blacksmiths.
From drawings to models to finally starting the project, this track connecting the largest seaport city and the metal capital, the Holy Land of Soul Masters, was being built at a pace of ten miles a day. When the screws of the last track made by Baosteel were drilled into the sleepers
In the hole, this five-hundred-mile-long straight track was officially completed.
This is a huge project that has never appeared in the Sun and Moon Continent. After fifty days, more than 5,000 craftsmen used black gunpowder to blast the mountains whenever they encountered them. When they encountered rivers, they filled in the rivers and diverted them, creating ravines, valleys, and lakes.
was filled in.
The entire site is 500 miles and 27 feet long, passing through two cities and 41 market towns, with platforms set up every ten miles.
In order to build this track, a new nut workshop, sleeper workshop, and rail car workshop were built, plus the cost of purchasing the land.
The construction cost of this unprecedented track is as high as two thousand gold coins per mile. The five hundred mile track costs one million gold coins. Five gold coins weigh one or two. If a million gold coins are piled up, it can really be called a gold coin.
Jinshan.
In addition to money, there are also the innovations that this track will bring. The three-car 20-meter-long track car has been completed. The craftsmen have found a powerful and vegetarian soul beast, the iron-armed ape.
, this kind of soul beast is gentle in nature and almost non-aggressive, and likes fruit wine to the point of obsession.
This initial version of the rail car was powered by an iron arm. At the front end of the rail car was a device that used pulleys to drive the wheels. Two century-old iron arms over three meters in size were used to turn the pulleys, similar to the way a tractor is started.
, which can make the rail car run quickly.
The speed of a steam train is about sixty miles per hour, but the railcar pulled by an iron arm can actually reach a speed of one hundred and fifty miles per hour. The key to this kind of spirit beasts is to feed them alcohol when pulling the car.
I am particularly happy. As long as the wine steward is enough, this iron-armed monkey can work twelve hours a day. He is simply the most considerate employee of the capitalist. A barrel of fruit wine is two hundred pounds, and it is only worth ten gold coins at most. It is far more valuable than developing a steam engine.
Cost effective with internal combustion engines.
Jing Kuan, who had specially put on a cotton robe, said excitedly to Gu Zhi, who was drawing pictures on the eucalyptus table: "Brother Gu, the track is about to open to traffic."
In the past two months, he has forgotten all the etiquette of soul mentors and has become one with those craftsmen. This time they did not rely on powerful soul guides. They were just a group of ordinary people relying on various tools to complete the highly anticipated work.
results.
At this moment, the soul masters from Banyue City and several nearby cities gathered on the wide platform, eagerly awaiting and preparing to witness the miracle.
"This is just the beginning. According to my concept, the ultimate speed of a complete rail car can reach thousands of miles per hour, and the carriage is hundreds of meters long. The current rail car is just a defective product."
Gu Zhi put away the internal combustion engine model that he had restored based on his own memory. Although this iron arm was comparable to a steam engine, it was still far behind compared to an internal combustion engine or magnetic levitation.
Moreover, there is a mineral similar to petroleum crystals in the Sun and Moon Continent. A piece as big as a fist can be compared to hundreds of liters of gasoline. Presumably, with the help of this kind of fuel, once the internal combustion engine comes out, it can truly trigger the industrial revolution.
With a kacha sound, the door lock was opened with force. Jing Ziyi appeared at the door carrying her two little sisters. She frowned and said, "What are you still messing around with? Everyone is waiting for you two."
"
Girls have the habit of joining in the fun, and today the soul masters and craftsmen actually gathered together. I have never seen such excitement before, but the atmosphere at the scene was a bit strange. The soul masters were talking to themselves, and the craftsmen even
Even though he has done great things that attract people's attention, he is still very reserved and no one dares to talk about it.
The reason for all this is naturally because Gu Zhi, the backbone of the group, is no longer there. They are used to respecting the soul masters and have no confidence to show themselves in front of the soul masters.
"I didn't decide to hold this opening ceremony. For me, it's really not something worth showing off."
Gu Zhi stood up and said: "But for those craftsmen, this is indeed a happy thing. Today they will be taken seriously by the soul masters."
Everyone present listened to his natural words. They secretly suspected that Gu Zhi was faking, but they couldn't refute anything. Such a track could not be developed from scratch without the technology and ideas provided by Gu Zhi. To be honest, although Gu Zhi
He is the same age as them, but they don't regard Gu Zhi as their same age.
Like the craftsmen, they would also give Gu Zhi the title of wise man or sage.
Yueshu walked up to Gu Zhi and glanced at the drawing in his hand, with admiration on his face, and said: "Whether it's worth showing off or not, after today, everyone in the empire will know that there is such a talented super genius like you in Banyue City."
"The Great Luo of All Worlds"
Everyone nodded in agreement, Gu Zhi smiled nonchalantly and led them towards the platform.
Nearly a thousand people gathered in the platform covering an area of 100 feet, but except for the hundreds of soul masters who were talking and criticizing, the others remained quiet.
They stared intently at a huge object, a twenty-meter-long car parked quietly on the railway track. The exterior of the car was dark green, and the car was equipped with glass windows in an oval shape. From the front, it looked like a
Huge cylinder.
This is a passenger rail car. Each car is five meters long and has two rows of twenty seats.
Two red-furred iron-armed apes were in the power room of the car, and two animal trainers were feeding them wine with wooden ladles and communicating with them with gestures from time to time.
Everything is ready.
A flag with red letters on a blue background was hung on the top of the car, with the four characters "Eternal Chamber of Commerce" on it.
Suddenly, a voice from the crowd shouted: "The wise man is here."
Everyone turned back together.
At the entrance of the platform, Gu Zhi led the way, followed by Yueshu, Jing Ziyi, Jing Kuan, and Luo Ning. It was obvious that he was the leader of these people.
This scene made the soul masters suddenly become more naive. Some of them had met the Jing family siblings, and some knew the identity of Yueshu. Even Luo Ning was not simple. She was the dean of the Yuanfan Soul Master Academy.
A long disciple.
However, the craftsmen were accustomed to it, and Gu Zhi's status in their hearts was higher than that of the emperor who was far away.
Gu Zhi raised his eyes and looked at the sky. The sun was about to reach its highest point, and it was noon.
"Anyone who has a ticket in hand can get on the bus with me. Let's go to the metal capital."
As soon as the whistle blew, the people with the tickets in their hands held up the tickets with the Eternal Chamber of Commerce emblem printed on them and followed Gu Zhi into the carriage. They all held their breath. Although the craftsmen were excited, this rail car was made by them.
It was assembled, so I found my seat and made it with ease.
The soul masters who had obtained the tickets through connections from the Jing family couldn't help but look around after entering the carriage. When they saw that the passengers in the adjacent seats were ordinary people, these soul masters who thought they were superior to others suddenly frowned.
They frowned, but they didn't dare to complain to the boss, so they could only sit down holding their noses.
On Gu Zhi's side, Jing Kuan acted as the conductor and was checking the tickets. As for Jing Ziyi, Yueshu and Luo Ning, the three beauties were sitting with Gu Zhi. The four of them sat in two rows of seats. Jing Ziyi and Luo Ning
On one side, Yueshu was next to Gu Zhi.
After the routine ticket inspection was completed, Jing Kuan blew the whistle in his hand. The animal trainer in the power room received the signal and immediately let his iron arm hold the thick handle of the bowl and turn it vigorously.
The rail car trembled slightly, the wheels squeaked as they rubbed against the rails, and people clearly saw the scenery outside the window begin to move.
As the scenery moved faster and faster, the people in the carriage felt calmer. People looked out the window one after another. After a while, they left the platform and entered a plain, surrounded by waves of wheat and the chirping of cicadas.
The soul masters immediately widened their eyes and realized that this speed was much faster than a four-wheeled carriage, and probably even comparable to riding a horse. However, riding a horse, which was bumpy and dusty all the way, was not comparable to this rail car.
Hehehehehehe...
A series of laughter like silver bells broke the silence in the carriage. Yueshu's face flushed and she couldn't help but hugged Gu Zhi's arm and laughed from the bottom of her heart.
"Gu Zhi, what kind of brain do you have! You can actually come up with such an ingenious artifact. This is a feat that benefits the country and the people. The Sun and Moon Empire will benefit from you."
From then on, my sister no longer has to worry about the split of the Sun and Moon Empire. As long as they build enough rail cars, the Yue clan can control the country.
It is really unimaginable how the world would change if, as Gu Zhi said, rail cars could reach speeds of thousands of miles per hour. At that time, it would only take less than two days to issue an order from the capital of the empire to any place in the empire.
Local governments and the entire administrative system may undergo huge changes as a result.
Jing Ziyi glanced at her best friend. Yueshu, who was born in the royal family, didn't care about Gu Zhi's shortcomings - he was passionate and flirtatious. He was really not reserved at all when his hooves were pressed upside down. She said meaningfully: "It's really amazing. These are actually...
A group of ordinary people completed the project, and Gu Zhi showed us the power of wisdom."
From beginning to end, soul guidance technology was not involved in the birth of this railway track and rail car. This is another kind of wisdom achievement that allows people without soul power to master the knowledge of power.
Luo Ning, who had always only echoed the topic, did not praise Gu Zhi's wisdom. At this moment, she had some other ideas.
"Gu Zhi, the flying soul guidance device you made uses soul guidance technology, and the magic circle design is very clever, even my teacher is ashamed."
She considered it and asked: "Why don't you apply soul guidance technology to this rail car? With your ability, if you use soul guidance technology, you will definitely make this rail car faster."
The glider added to the Wind Breath Array can break through the wind, and can also be injected with soul power to ride on the wind. It can be said to be a complete flying soul guide.
In the same way, this rail car is added with soul guidance technology and uses soul power to provide power, which will naturally make the car faster and carry more cargo.
The soul masters present all pricked up their ears, while the craftsmen lowered their heads silently. No matter how much they deliberately avoided it, Gu Zhi was fundamentally different from them.
This wise man is a great man with extraordinary power.
"Because I want everyone to be able to afford a car."
Upon hearing Gu Zhi's words, the craftsmen immediately raised their heads and heard Gu directly say: "Cars made with soul guidance technology can naturally be faster, but such a car must be driven by a soul master."
He smiled and asked: "Do you think soul engineers will let civilians ride in their cars?"
If he really wants to refine some treasure, even if Gu Zhi is in some condition now, he can still make a ninth-level half-soul guide, but a ninth-level half-soul guide will be of no benefit to the majority of the common people.
Let alone change an era.
At this moment, the craftsmen and the soul masters were sitting next to each other, and the distance between them was negligible. The craftsmen made sure their answer without looking at the expressions on the soul masters' faces.
How could a high-ranking man drive for untouchables like them? Even sitting with them at this moment, he looked aggrieved.
Gu Zhi's smile was bright and sunny, but Luo Ning was not infected at all. She suddenly shouted hysterically: "Why do you want to do such a thing? Shouldn't you and those people be in two different worlds? There is no way.
It has nothing to do with it. Can their lives and their joys and sorrows move people like you?"
In an instant, everyone was shocked by her sudden outburst, especially Yueshu and Jing Ziyi. While they were speechless, a complicated light flashed in their eyes.
She was very lucky. Although she was born a commoner, her family was fairly well off, and she had been a beauty since she was a child. Her parents raised fifty gold coins to awaken her martial spirit. Sure enough, the family martial spirit mutated, and she awakened.
The special elemental martial spirit - Thunder, has innate soul power up to level eight.
She was soon accepted as a disciple by the dean who came after hearing the news, but she was not the only one who had apprentices. In order to squeeze into the circle of those proud people, she began to deliberately please Jing Ziyi and Yueshu. Now,
She knew that she was just a little follower.
But what did she see recently?
In the college, Yueshu and Jing Ziyi, who are high-profile outside the college, are trying to please a strange guy. However, this strange guy gets together with a group of craftsmen, cares about their daily life, and even works hard for these humble people.
The subordinates seek convenience.
He doesn't care about top dignitaries like Yueshu at all.
The quagmire she desperately wanted to get out of, but someone was enjoying it, and that person was still in the place she longed for most.
This made Luo Ning feel humble and inferior.
In fact, Gu Zhi had long noticed this girl with a twisted heart. Yes, in his eyes, Luo Ning was just a twenty-year-old girl. In order to be recognized, she blindly pleased others and moved closer to other people's preferences and conduct.
But because of his background, he was unable to fully integrate, and eventually slowly lost himself and became a yes-man who only knew how to please.
Who would regard a yes-man as an equal friend?
"Don't talk to yourself, it will only reveal your inner arrogance and prejudice."
Gu Zhi shook his head and said calmly: "I was born in an ordinary village. I have been surrounded by ordinary people since I was a child. Even when I went to college, I would chat with ordinary people who worked as concierges. Like you, I started from a humble beginning."
After hearing this, everyone present looked at Gu Zhi with ghostly eyes. A man who made the prince bow his head and the princess to please was actually from a commoner. This kind of thing is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.
In the Sun and Moon Continent, even if you are born with full soul power, you will definitely become the favored son of the titled Douluo. As long as you are born as a commoner, you must bow to the royal family.
Otherwise, so what if he is born with full soul power, he is just a future titled Douluo.
"How is this possible!"
Luo Ning could not accept that Gu Zhi was from a commoner background like her, but in fact she was much superior to Gu Zhi in terms of background.
"Civilians, soul masters, nobles, and royal families are all shackles created by people. They are called identity. Behind the shackles is power. Only stronger power can break them."
Gu Zhi's smile did not change. In fact, he felt a sense of accomplishment when he led a group of ordinary people to complete a railway track and open it to traffic.
"In the beautiful world I envision, everyone is born equal, abides by the same order, and everyone can express themselves freely.
I never hate my origin, nor do I yearn for the so-called rich and powerful. I just want to find the way to the ideal world step by step."
You are going to rebel!
And he was so arrogant in front of the empress' sister.
However, the principal did not come out to reprimand Gu Zhi, but looked on with fascination at the rebellious princess and her ideal knight. Seeing this scene, the soul masters pretended not to hear.
However, the bodies of the craftsmen present were trembling slightly, and their admiration for Gu Zhi could no longer be expressed in words.
"A person like you really deserves to have a bunch of confidante."
Luo Ning smiled. At this moment, she suddenly felt much more comfortable physically and mentally.
She turned to look out the window and said firmly: "I also want to go to such a beautiful world, please take me with you."
