"So fast?" McGonagall looked at hill in surprise. Before he went to lodu, he handed the final drawing to hill. Now it's only half a month. Hill has made the first steam locomotive, and has also carried out preliminary commissioning. It's just amazing.
"We hope to open and complete a route from chaos city to Vick ridge before the negotiations begin in three months. If there is no problem in the test, the steam locomotive and rail will enter the stage of mass production, and the bank and the city master are very determined. " Hill smiles and nods.
McGonagall thought for a while, looked at hill and shook his head slightly. "It's not easy to start from scratch in three months and complete the opening of a section of hundreds of kilometers of railway tracks. The production of railway tracks alone is a big project, not to mention the terrain conditions required for the laying of railway tracks. Although I recognize the ability of the city government and the financial resources of the buffet bank, it is necessary for me to remind Miss Hill that the railway is a livelihood project, and whether it is safe and reliable is related to the lives of all the people on the train. We must not be too perfunctory just because of the rush hour. "
Although he doesn't understand politics, he probably understands why hill is anxious to complete the opening of a section of the railway before the start of the peace agreement negotiation, which is increasing the bargaining chips of the chaotic city and the buffet bank on the negotiation table.
The rise and fall of a consortium like Warren Buffet's is not only determined by one country and one city, but stability and peace are the most important factors in the business of the bank. Once the continent of Nolan falls into total chaos due to the war, the collapse of Warren Buffet's will not be far away.
The city of chaos was born because of peace after the end of the war. If the war is restarted, it will fall into a very embarrassing situation, and may even become the target of public criticism.
Although the strength of this chaotic city has been increasing over the past 100 years, it is only a city after all, unable to compete with other races.
What's more, the chaotic city is built by peace. Naturally, it does not want the war to restart and steam locomotives will be launched. To a large extent, it wants all ethnic groups to calm down and see the possibility of ethnic integration.
However, McGonagall is still an engineering man. No matter what capitalists and politicians think, besides freight transport, steam locomotives also shoulder the heavy responsibility of basic passenger transport. Safety is undoubtedly very important and should not be careless.
Blair looked at McGonagall and said seriously: "we all know what Mr. McGonagall said. Three months of opening to traffic is the shortest construction period after repeated deliberation and demonstration by our engineering department.
From the east of chaos city to vickling, it is basically a plain area with stable geology, so the workload of track laying will be reduced a lot.
Moreover, we have recruited a large number of blacksmiths and fire magicians from various races, and used a large number of magic tools to set up a large number of rail manufacturing points along the railway to ensure the quantity and quality of the rails. "
Blair said that he also took out several drawings from his bag, a topographic map of the chaotic city towards Vick ridge, a planning map of the manufacturing site, as well as the presupposition and solutions of some problems that may be encountered in the track laying.
McGonagall looked at the drawings carefully and came to a conclusion: moat!
In his previous life, he was more or less a rich second generation. He was not a man who had never seen the world. But with his father's capital, building a highway was the limit. It was impossible to use countless human and material resources to build a railway on the barren plain in less than three months under the condition of completely backward heavy industry.
The fire magician and the dwarf blacksmith worked as coolies. To this extent, except for the national wealth, McGonagall could hardly imagine that he would dare to play like this with the power of a consortium of Warren Buffett's.
If Hill's brain is not broken, it is that the degree of wealth of Buffett's Bank is even more exaggerated than he imagined. The huge wealth brought to the bank by the money network covering the continent of Nolan is unimaginable.
Miss Hill, sitting opposite with a smile, looks normal, so it's obviously the latter.
"Mr. McGonagall, please believe in our determination and attitude." Hill looked at MEG and said with a smile.
"It seems that Miss Hill really values the steam locomotive project." McGonagall handed the drawing back to Blair, with a complicated look.
Hill is making a big gamble. If he loses, the bank will be dragged into the abyss. This is not car building.
"I believe that Mr. McGonagall's remarkable creation will bring great changes to the world." Hill took a deep look at MEG and said with a smile.
MEG looked away and said with a smile, "when would miss hill like me to visit the finished locomotive?"
"If it's convenient for Mr. McGonagall, it can be done now." Hill Road.
MEG looked at the clock on the wall, shook his head and said, "it may not be very convenient now. I'll be ready for the noon business soon. If I can, I can go there at 1 pm."
"Mr. McGonagall is really a good boss. I'll have someone pick you up at one in the afternoon." Hill got up, nodded at MEG with a smile, turned and walked towards the door.
"Good bye, Mr. McGonagall." Blair put away the drawings, shook hands with McGonagall again, and quickly followed hill.
"Technology meets a huge amount of money, and it can really speed up." McGonagall looked at Hill's back and sighed in silence. Under the impetus of hill, the world may soon enter the steam age. It is not clear whether this is good or bad.
After all, this is the world of sword and magic, and the experience on earth is not applicable.
However, it is certain that if the railway leading to vickline is really completed in three months, it will certainly have an impact on the upcoming peace talks. As one of the leaders, buffet bank will also be tied up in the city of chaos and have the opportunity to stand on the negotiation table with all ethnic groups.
……
"All the requirements of the engineering department have been met. Has the negotiation between the city Lord's office and the goblin come to an end?" Hill got into the carriage and looked at the Secretary sitting opposite.
"The news just came back that the negotiation has been basically finalized. Based on the possible turbulence and the long cherished wish of the elves and forest trolls for many years, the goblins are willing to reach an alliance with the chaotic city, open up all kinds of underground mineral resources, and develop together with our bank and chaotic city." The Secretary nodded.
"Good." Hill nodded, lifted a corner of the car curtain and took a look at the McMillan restaurant. "You'll pick Mr. McGonagall up at 1 p.m. to the construction site."
……
"The vegetarian dishes in those restaurants I ate this morning let me down. I don't know what will happen if there is no restaurant worthy of scoring." In the team outside the Maimi restaurant, a middle-aged man who meticulously lost his short gray hair looked at the sign of the Maimi restaurant and whispered to himself.
