Chapter 136 Chapter 136

Just as Toby was beating the hammer and dreaming that his children would be successful in the future, some soldiers came over with rifles on their shoulders.

They reminded everyone to avoid, and then Toby was shocked to see that a weird, smoking machine was slowly driving along the road he had laid.

This was built by Tang Mo's factory, the first locomotive in human history - completely different from the one on Earth, because of the drawings, the locomotive that Tang Mo took out was a perfect and mature design.

The maturity of the design brings many benefits. On the one hand, a mature design represents the improvement of reliability and maintainability, so that the product can be put into use immediately.

On the other hand, a mature design can also provide greater pulling force and enter the practical stage in advance, without the need for verification and improvement, saving a lot of time.

With the joint efforts of Matthews and Parker, as well as Tang Mo and Roger, this strictly confidential locomotive was manufactured in the latest factory.

The design of this train is the steam locomotive design of the 1880s. It looks relatively primitive, but it is indeed the most advanced locomotive that Tang Mo can make today.

What's more, this locomotive, the only one in the world, can pull seven carriages when it was born, which is already beyond everyone's imagination.

A train can actually pull 7 carriages, which has shocked everyone, including Matthews.

After all, this thing is not a carriage, it can work day and night, and of course the number of things it pulls is not the same.

The 7 carriages on the train are not all pretend carriages, but real carriages in the strict sense.

A passenger car can hold 70 people. If the situation is urgent, it is not impossible to transport a company of soldiers.

The other six cargo carriages can be fully loaded with cargo, and can carry a behemoth with a capacity of more than 15 tons-for a horse-drawn carriage, the carrying capacity of this thing can be described as terrifying.

In other words, the railway that Tang Mo just laid here can transport nearly a hundred people and more than 80 tons of goods in one transport, which can be described as perfect!

Now, the train was ready to contribute, with the most astonishing efficiency, to the construction of its own dedicated tracks.

It is now transporting 40 tons of steel rails and more than 20 tons of sleepers, following the team building the railway, heading towards the forest.

"Bah..." Accompanied by the sound of depressurization, the train spewed out white steam from both sides, which startled everyone.

Then, all the road construction workers were surprised to find that someone continuously carried all kinds of construction materials from the carriage.

One piece after another, the sleepers were sent to the gravel roadbed in front of the train, and the workers skillfully laid the sleepers along the direction of the road extension.

The construction speed of the project seemed to be accelerating, and everyone was talking about this black, huge monster.

Some workers who have seen the steam engine, they have to popularize science to the people around them. The white smoke that is sprayed out is not the fog of some monsters...

"The distance of 11 kilometers, if you look at it now, it's really not a big deal." Seeing that the fifth kilometer of railway was about to be laid, Matthews proudly said to Tang Mo who was standing beside him.

"It's best to put it into use in April." Tang Mo rubbed his nose, feeling that the air quality in Bunas was getting worse.

No way, he is the initiator of this problem.Just looking at the train with black smoke from the chimney in front of him, he knew that the air quality in Bunas would not get better in a short time.

That is to say, this place is still on the coast, and the sea breeze has also taken away part of the pollution, otherwise the environment here will only be worse.

As long as the train is put into use, that is, the so-called Bunas Station and the group's second branch factory station will be open to traffic, the speed of Tang Mo's construction of the second branch factory will be doubled.

The raw materials produced from Bunas will be continuously transported to the depths of the vicious forest. In this way, the problem of insufficient materials will be completely solved.

The rest of the matter is even simpler. Tang Mo only needs to continue to open up the vicious forest and extend the railway to Northridge to speed up the flow of goods.

At that time, the ores mined in North Ridge will arrive at the second branch of Datang Group in a steady stream. Here, these ores will be turned into the best munitions, and then transported to Bunas and sold to all parts of the world by ship.

"I estimate that it will be available for testing in another seven or eight days." Matthews said firmly: "The key is that our train is really... too great!"

"It has changed the transportation of this world! My God, I don't even know how to describe it." Matthews looked at Tang Mo excitedly, he always had this expression recently.

After all, Tang Mo showed him the weapons of continuous shooting and more advanced machinery—and all of this was done in less than a year.

"What is this?" Tang Mo grinned and pointed in the direction of the sea: "Have you ever thought that one day, we can install a steam engine on a ship, so that the ship can sail without relying on the power of the wind? ?”

"..." Matthews widened his eyes in an instant. He has been researching steam trains recently. After hearing Tang Mo's words, he realized that maybe the steam engine, as an ultimate power, can do a lot of things. There are too many things.

He looked at Tang Mo again, and asked seriously, "My master, can you tell me the truth? Are you the God of Craftsman, who came to the mortal world to guide the direction of the whole world?"

"Stop messing around, Matthews, you watched this train being made, and you polished hundreds of parts by yourself..." Tang Mo laughed out loud when Matthews amused him , pointed to the train not far away and said to Matthews.

"Being able to follow you is the greatest luck in my life." Matthews said to Tang Mo seriously: "I really hope to always be by your side and listen to your teachings."

"As long as you maintain your loyalty, Matthews, of course you can follow me." Tang Mo was amused by the dwarf again, he patted Matthews on the shoulder, and said to the old man with a smile.

"Sir, my lord...you, can you choose a name for my child?" Just as Tang Mo and Matthews were laughing and chatting, a worker tremblingly walked up to Tang Mo and was greeted by several guards. After stopping him, he shouted at Tang Mo from a long distance away.

"Why not? I think it's good to be called Frank." Tang Mo said to the worker with a smile, "I hope he can be healthy, and his wisdom is as dazzling as the stars."

"Thank you! Thank you! My lord! Thank you for your blessings! Thank you! Frank will become your most loyal servant in the future! Thank you! Thank you!" The worker was dragged back to the construction site by his foreman contentedly. From a distance, the worker's shout of thanks can still be heard.

In fact, Tang Mo often encountered such things. Many workers or soldiers who worked for Tang Mo, if they had children, hoped that Tang Mo could name them.

In the eyes of these people, Tang Mo was not only their boss or their master, but also the god of wisdom in this world. To be blessed by the gods was simply something worth showing off for a lifetime.

"What's going on at the pier?" Tang Mo has recently turned into an infrastructure madman, and has been expanding his territory.

Here he is building his own railway, and on the other side he is expanding the port of Bunas.He had his own port expansion plan before, and now that Bunas has been upgraded to a city, his expanded port immediately became a great prospect for the advance layout.

After assuring the newly promoted Lord Mayor that his own goods will use his new port in the future and not occupy the throughput of the old port of Bunas, the former mayor immediately repaid with his own practical actions. Tang Mo's generosity.

He gave Tang Mo the right to recommend candidates, installed his own forces in the city guards, and allowed Bernard and Love, as well as Wes, Tiger, and Redman to have a formal official position.

This is obviously not in line with the kingdom's rules, but black-box operations always exist.Anyway, there are so many unpaid positions, it is not difficult to find a captain for a few people.

As the nominal commander of the city guards, Sheriff Sauron had already flirted with Tang Mo a long time ago. Of course, he would not interfere with this kind of thing, but acquiesced to such an operation.

Simone, the tax officer who had already taken refuge in Tang Mo, was even more understanding. He immediately appointed his most loyal subordinates to serve as tax inspectors at the port Tang Mo was building.

This operation is so fast that Tang Mo's port has to pay a year's tax, which is completely up to Tang Mo himself.

If he doesn't want to pay, he can just make up a reason and say that he has lost tens of thousands of gold coins. Anyway, there will be no evidence left...

"The No. 1 dock you want is almost built. We used a lot of cement and made a lot of deposits in advance, which made the construction speed several times faster." Matthews immediately answered Tang Mo's question: "One The piers are almost ready for use and four more are being built."

"Where's the second dock?" Tang Mo asked again.

"The second dock is also under construction, but due to the lack of workers, the progress will be a little slower." Matthews then replied: "Soon, we will be able to repair our own ships, which can save a lot of money .”

"Saving money is not the goal. We have to build our own boats. That's the goal." Tang Mo nodded in satisfaction, and then continued to look at the railway track being laid over there: "Everything will be fine."
