Chapter 405: The engine has been made
The noble young masters and ladies didn't know what the machine was doing at all. They only heard the sound of the "bowl" for a while, and then suddenly saw it begin to roll up the rope. They were confused. A few seconds later, the rope was loosened and straightened. Then they suddenly understood and quickly looked along the rope.
After the rope was tightened, it was pulled back and wrapped around the gear of the engine. At the other end of the rope, it was placed on a high area, hanging a huge stone using the gear.
The stone weighed hundreds of pounds at a glance. It needed several strong adult men to lift it.
The engine was pulling the rope desperately and the gear wheel was twined round and round. The more the rope was tightened, the higher the stone ends up in. It was actually five or six yards high.
When the stone reached the highest point, the old blacksmith waved his long sword and cut off the rope. And with a bang, the big stone lost the power to be pulled upwards and fell down dejectedly. With a loud bang, it hit the ground and made a huge hole.
The old blacksmith was overjoyed and said, "we made it! Students, we made it! Hahaha! The whole class worked hard to develop and forge it, and it took a few months to finally make it! Lifting the huge stone to such a high place was something that could only be done by gravity magic, and we can do it by machine now, hahaha."
The students cheered, "YEAH!"
The old blacksmith said with tears in his eyes, "Godfather said that people who have learned the technique of making this can also solve the work that needs to be done by magicians. The craftsmen who will be able to replace magicians in the future must be very promising. Congratulations."
The students cheered, "make a lot of money in the future!"
"Oh, right!" A student jumped up and said, "Godfather said that the first thing to do after this thing is done is to install a large fan."
"That's right!" Another student also jumped up and said, "we're ready to put the fan."
Several students came over with a huge leaf and put it in the gear wheel.
After that, they pressed the switch again.
In fact, the big loli didn't dare to really kill people, but the young masters didn't know that this "assassin of Bright Road" wasnt going to kill them with her holy sword. They were scared out of their wits, and they didn't even dare to go to the technical school anymore. They quickly ran to the villa prepared by the servants.
In the evening, they went into the hot spring pond dug out in the courtyard of a villa and ate the kebabs sent by the vendors. Suddenly, they realized that Life here was much more comfortable than on Bright Road.
However, when they were enjoying their lives, Robb couldn't enjoy them, because as soon as evening came, the old blacksmith came to the door. With an obedient look, he stood beside Robb's stone stool with his hands down and listened to his orders.
"I asked you to come here this time to set up a new railway." Robb said with a smile.
"The iron tracks?" The old blacksmith said, "are we going to dig another mine?"
"Not only that!" Robb smiled and said, "I need a very long, 150 mile long iron track. It starts at Westwind Town and ends at Stone Canyon."
"What?" The old blacksmith was shocked. "This... is a huge project, isn't it?"
"Yes, it's a huge project." Robb smiled and said, "I didn't dare to think about it in the past, but now it's no problem. The ability of producing high-quality steel in our mine is strong enough. It's no problem to support the 150 mile iron track."
The old blacksmith wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "Godfather, if we want to make the iron tracks, we just need to spend a little more iron and wood. It's not a big problem, but what should we use to pull the small minecart running on the iron track? We can't use a 150 mile long rope to pull the minecart, right?"
"Haha, I won't use the rope this time." Robb said seriously, "I want it to run by itself."
"How... How could that be possible?" The old blacksmith asked, "are you going to use magic?"
"Don't always think of magic." Robb said, "after the situation becomes too big, magic will not be enough. Try not to use magic to solve problems. Come on, let me help you open the door of thinking..."
Speaking of this, Robb said in a long voice and chuckled, "what do you think will happen if the engine you developed during the day is equipped with a big wheel instead of a fan?"
