Reincarnated Bamboo Rat Starts Extreme Survival

Chapter 282 The high-speed rail to Cangxing City is about to open to traffic
Airships are the most common long-distance transportation method in the world, but in the southwest region, only the upper four cities have ports that park airships.

This is not because other cities cannot afford to build a port for airships, but because the operating costs of airships are very high and the fares are not low. There is not much demand for traveling long distances by airships.

Only cities like the Upper Four Cities, which have a large number of people coming and going and have an enrichment effect in regional politics and economy, including church propaganda, can support the daily maintenance costs of airships and barely make a profit.

As the most common mode of transportation for long-distance travel, airships fly very fast.

After this cylindrical aircraft is slowly inflated and lifted into the air, it can generate power through magical drive and drive towards the target at high speed.

In Bell's eyes, this thing is a magically modified version of the hot air balloon. The magical effect makes this thing develop into an extremely excellent transportation tool.

Nowadays, there are airships using steam furnaces as power sources in coastal areas. By reinforcing the shell of the airship to bear greater external pressure, and then converting stronger power through the furnace, the airship can fly faster.

However, although I haven't heard anyone using gas stoves to develop things like fighter jets, Bell is certain that those coastal cities that have been tinkering with gas stove technology for a longer time will definitely bring the armed forces brought by gas stoves to high altitudes.

"Developing weapons...intelligent life groups will always develop various weapons..."

Looking at the slowly descending airship not far away, Bell shook his head. Eddie and the others were responsible for receiving the furnace engineers. Bell didn't want to attend any welcome ceremony.

His official meeting with these steam furnace engineers should be in the laboratory of Chiguang University.

Now Bell has another thing to be busy with, which is building the first track of the high-speed rail project.

During this period, Bell stopped developing the [World Stone] and focused on researching the square regular polymer [Bedrock] born from the [World Stone].

[Bedrock] This thing, in the MC world, only God can destroy it, and mortals cannot shake it at all.

This characteristic has also been retained by Bell. Any state at the non-regular level cannot affect it. For most people in Chishui City, bedrock is an absolutely indestructible material.

Including some legendary powerhouses who have been famous for a long time, they are unable to shake the bedrock. Even if they have the ability to influence the rules, their extremely shallow understanding of the rules still cannot affect the bedrock, just like a wooden pickaxe. It's like digging obsidian.

"Bedrock is an extremely high-quality carrier. Using appropriate techniques and methods to stir up the surface rules of bedrock can give it a fixed ability to express rules."

Put the black and white bedrock into a base with a square gap, and the invisible regular power overflows from the bedrock and spreads to the entire base simultaneously.

The base that carries the bedrock is a rectangular structure ten meters long and eight meters wide. When the rules of the bedrock surface are synchronized with the base, Bell gently jumps on the base, and the entire mouse instantly gains the power to accelerate forward. .

Suddenly, with a tap of Bell's toes, he turned into an afterimage and flew out, falling onto a tree trunk 300 meters away.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound caused the tree to shake violently, and Bell's forehead was hit hard. Even though he knew that with Bell's physical strength, this level of impact could not even be considered a tickle, but it still hit the person who was following Bell. The Chiguang University lecturer was shocked.

Bell, who poked his head out of the hole in the tree trunk, had a smile on his face. His experiment was successful, and the constant rules on the surface of the bedrock were successfully attached to the entire base.

Bell had tinkered with the redstone rails before, and he summarized the rules for object acceleration from those redstone rails. With this rule, as long as a little initial velocity is provided, it can be amplified through the redstone rails.

A redstone orbit can accelerate an object three times. When Bell used the redstone orbit as a means of acceleration in previous battles, he used eight redstone orbits at the same time to superimpose the acceleration effect, giving himself an explosive movement speed bonus.

But after analyzing the acceleration rules and using the bedrock as a base, Bell can use this rule more flexibly, just like he does now.

With the addition of a bedrock base, the acceleration rate can be freely adjusted from three times to fifty times.

If material strength and user experience are not considered, Bell can have a power train with twice the speed of sound in Chishui City. With such a speed, the distance from Chishui City to Cangxing City will take less than 5 minutes.

However, taking into account various factors such as train cost, passenger experience, and railway carrying capacity, Bell will definitely not allow the train to travel faster than the speed of sound when it is officially put into operation.

The train that ordinary people ride runs at about two hundred kilometers per hour, which is similar to the speed of the high-speed train before Bell was reincarnated.

The speed of the trains transporting goods will be greatly increased, because there is no need to consider the passenger riding experience. The experience of the train staff escorting the goods is not very important to Bell.

Because the physical fitness of people in this world is not bad, and the physiques of high-level soldiers are very strong. Even if the train speed is increased to twice the speed of sound, as long as some decompression measures are implemented in the train, they will only feel a slight push on their backs. Just strong.

In non-emergency situations, Bell will still not reach full speed. The accelerator base will also make a series of fine adjustments, ultimately prolonging the acceleration process so that the speed will not reach full speed at the first step.

Of course, if you want to build a complete high-speed rail, an acceleration base is definitely not enough. You also need to lay rails and make trains.

With the acceleration base, railway construction and rail laying are not difficult. Railway construction can be done by a large number of workers. After all, the construction of Chiguang University no longer requires so many laborers, and the rail construction project can divert excess labor.

At the management level, giving ordinary people job opportunities is actually better than giving money. The model of work in exchange for reward is always an unbreakable truth.

Recruiting workers with benefits that are higher than market prices, and then building infrastructure projects that will benefit hundreds or even thousands of years, can form a pretty good virtuous cycle.

The extra remuneration received by workers will be consumed in the market, promoting the development of the market economy. At the same time, the completed infrastructure will also increase the happiness of residents and enhance urban cohesion and sense of belonging.

Bell only needs to make the bedrock base with the power of rules, and after laying it in a fixed position, the rest of the railway laying work can be left to the workers without any problem.

Although there are no large-scale construction machines in this world, there is magic here, and the individual strength of the workers is not weak. Although they cannot completely cut mountains and build bridges when encountering water, on the stretch from Chishui City to Cangxing City, they It can still be repaired.

Not far from the bedrock base built by Bell, there is already a section of laid railway track. The length of this track is currently only five kilometers, and there is no problem in using it to test the high-speed train invented by Bell.As for the high-speed train built by Bell, it is currently just a five-meter-long front end. It has not yet been assembled with a body. At first glance, it has not yet reached the shocking level of a long steel train.

However, Bell has carefully designed the front of this car. It is generally streamlined and adopts a rounded and blunt bullet shape. It has strong wind resistance and the shell material is a mass-produced forged alloy, which has extremely high material strength. Metals are extremely tough.

The mass production of this alloy was for Bell, because to build this thing, Bell mobilized the rules of the block, especially the power of the tool table.

Through the compression and synthesis power of the tool table, several different metals are compressed into a perfectly proportioned alloy to maximize the material properties.

For the console in the front of the train, Bell uses a special magic array that is controlled in real time. This magic array has many effects. It can coordinate the actions of the entire train through the front of the train, and can read information on the rails to complete automatic operation.

When to depart and when to stop, with this magic console, the train itself can run independently without the presence of the conductor.

But Bell still needs to be equipped with a conductor for the train, and he must also be a senior high-level magician. On the one hand, he can operate the train's magic console to prevent abnormal train operation accidents.

The second is to ask the conductor to protect the safety of the train. Bell will definitely add weapons to the train. He has a good understanding of the simplicity of the people in this world.

If we don’t add weapons to the train, what will happen if someone pries the tracks and robs us along the way?What should we do if someone maliciously attacks the train?
Someone will definitely do these outrageous abstract things. If security measures are not set up for the entire railway track, there will definitely be news that the railway track has been destroyed from time to time.

Even if Bell has established extremely complete protective measures and publicized to everyone that if you are caught doing something on the railway tracks, you will be severely punished, there will always be outrageous abstract people who ignore these rules and regulations.

In the minds of those people, what I do is always right, others are wrong, and everyone should follow their own temperament.

Just like the old lady who stabbed the police officer with a kitchen knife and was shot to death after multiple warnings failed. She knew that she was not wrong. Even if she had to warn the police with a gun, she didn't think anything would happen. question.

"The locomotive uses a joint magic array as a power source. The magic array consumes magic crystals to drive the entire locomotive forward, and the locomotive then drives the subsequent body of the locomotive."

Before he understood the technology of fire and steam furnaces, Bell felt that his power magic array was enough. After all, it could push a train carrying [-] tons to [-] kilometers per hour without accelerating.

This speed is equivalent to the second speed of a battery car, which doesn’t look great and isn’t very fast either.

However, with just one push of the accelerating base, this speed can easily be doubled, meeting Bell's manned requirements, but slightly worse in terms of cargo.

But with the advent of the fire-steam furnace technology, Bell found that as long as his train power system was replaced with matching fire-steam furnace equipment, many of the restrictive problems would be solved.

It's not that the fire and steam furnace technology can easily defeat Bell's magic circle, but because of the cost of construction, the fire and steam furnace technology is already quite mature. Together with the supporting equipment, it will not be very troublesome to install it in the train. At most, it will allow Bell just re-coordinated the relationship between some magic consoles and fire and steam furnace equipment.

With this thought in Bell's mind, the locomotive driven by him started slowly. It didn't take long for the bullet-shaped locomotive to accelerate from a stationary big iron lump to a roaring impact monster.

"The design of the high-speed railway has been completed, and there are no major problems in the application field. Now there is only one issue to consider, and that is how to ensure the safety of the rail itself."

The train operation depends on the rails, but there must be people who can pry the rails.

Bell thought of many ways, but could not find a way to use the rails themselves to resist malicious damage.

After all, ordinary preventive measures cannot be applied, and the existence of pseudo-dragons is also something Bell needs to consider. It would be bad if these highly destructive assassins came to destroy Bell's production and living facilities.

Bell thought of the simplest and crudest way, which is to directly unify the southwest region completely. All the city-states in this southwest region are their own people, and then this kind of prevention will be much less difficult.

But Bell thought about this violent idea and let it go. Unifying the entire region was not that easy.

Bell was just thinking wildly, experimenting with his train and thinking about how to protect the rails.

But at the same time, various voices have quietly increased in the other three major cities in the Southwest.

Friction between the upper four cities has always existed. The news that Chishui City was weakening was widely circulated, which caused another small-scale friction in the upper four cities.

Because of the existence of Bell, the result of that friction was that Chishui City made a lot of money, and other cities had their own profits and losses.

The loss is Cuijing City, which has lost four legendary powerhouses, and is now completely passive. The gain is Mangshan City, which directly participated in the Chiguang University project and allowed a large number of outstanding talents in the city to enroll.

But regardless of profit or loss, the second round of confrontation is coming again.

"Chishui City has been undergoing extensive construction and has the intention to continue to annex our territory."

"What do you mean by continuing to annex? The city under our control is now eager to be annexed to Chishui City. That hairy mayor is playing dirty tricks. He wants to eat us guys to death in this way!"

In Cuijing City, the councilors gritted their teeth and cursed in a low voice. Their city had never beaten Bell, so there was nothing they could do.

"Continue to increase investment in Chishui City. It's time to change the pattern of the four cities. Finally, we will build twin cities."

In Mangshan City, which has benefited from the Chiguang University project, some council members raised the topic that they will continue to expand their own interests and weaken the other two cities. For them, the top four cities will become the top two cities. Seems more profitable.

As for Kulu City, this city that has always been silent has been quiet since it sent out the pseudo-dragon assassins. It seems that it is preparing to do something big.
