Chapter 413: It is convenient for him to commute between the two places
TL: Sorry! But I can now return to being consistent again!
Not only the queen, but also a large group of ministers appeared on the opposite side of the crystal ball. It turned out that Robb had already made an appointment with the queen to make this call today, and asked her to call all the ministers she trusted.
As soon as the phone was connected, the queen said in a dignified voice, "you asked me to call all the ministers here. What on earth do you want to show me?"
Robb held the crystal ball in his hand with a smile and turned it to the train. "Look! A train."
In fact, it was difficult to judge the size of an object from the crystal ball, but there were many townsmen standing beside the train. Once the size of the train head was compared, it was very clear.
The queen had always been calm and composed. She was not easily moved by anything, so she didn't say anything.
However, the ministers standing behind her exclaimed at the same time, "what a big iron carriage!"
"How heavy is such a huge iron carriage?"
"How many horses does it need to be pulled?"
The discussions of these fellows came through the crystal ball, which made Robb laugh. Just now, the townsmen of Westwind Town were also talking about this. He didnt expect that the ministers of the queen also reacted the same. Are you sure that you have the insight?
Only one minister put forward an interesting opinion, "it's the same as the minecart in the mine, but the minecart is pulled by a rope, but this seems to be planning to run by itself. Moreover, the minecart is empty, but this isnt empty. We can only see a narrow driver's seat, and there are not many things in it. What can it do?"
"Don't you see that there is a carriage hanging behind the train head? Use the carriage behind to load things. Of course, I think it's not important how many things can be loaded. The biggest problem is how much strength it needs to pull it to run."
After the ministers finished talking, the queen said calmly, "don't keep me guessing. Just demonstrate it. I have a lot of government affairs here, there is no time for you to keep showing your monkey tricks to my ministers."
Only then did they see that the carriage was full of pillows and iron tracks. It was so heavy that they didn't know how many horses it would take if all these things were pulled by a carriage.
The queen, who had always been calm, was finally moved. "You can transport so many things at one time?"
Robb smiled and said, "not only that. It's just at the test stage now, so I only have one carriage. When the technology becomes more mature in the future, I'll have twenty carriages in the back."
"Twenty?" the queen was taken aback. She had just seen that this carriage weighed one hundred thousand pounds. If there were twenty carriages, wouldn't it weigh over a million pounds? If the train was really so powerful, it would be terrible.
At this time, the speed of the train was getting faster and faster. Through the crystal ball, the queen looked at the scenery outside the train window and silently estimated its speed. After dozens of seconds, she suddenly smiled. "Just now, I was shocked and thought it was a great thing. But now, I can see that its speed is not as fast as a running horse."
The ministers also echoed, "yes, it's obviously not as fast as a running horse. Moreover, the more carriages you hang, the slower the speed will be."
"That's not a big deal, hahaha."
Robb smiled and said, "that's right. The train in the early stage can't run as fast as a horse. After all, I still have a lot of technical problems to deal with here, and the engine is also a very preliminary imitation. The most important thing is that the iron track is only twenty miles long. If we move fast now, wont we reach the end in an instant? Look, its pulling all these iron tracks and sleepers, isn't it to help make the rails faster?"
Only then did the queen understand why there were so many things in the carriage. Just now, she thought that Robb was deliberately increasing the weight of the carriage to carry out the test. Now after thinking carefully, she understood, "if you use this train to finish the rails, the extending speed of the iron track will be greatly increased."
"Yes!" Robb said with a smile "Your Highness, you are the smartest! At the very beginning, my train was built very slowly, because at that time, I had to send a large number of carriages, ox carts, camel carts, and a large number of people to transport the sleepers and rails to the place where they were needed to be installed. But once there is the train, the speed of the construction of the railway would be doubled. In a short time, I would be able to transport one hundred and fifty miles of the railway.
The queen took a look at the map and then looked at the direction in which the railway extended. She said in a low voice, "to the north of Westwind Town, one hundred and fifty miles is Stone Canyon. What do you want to do with the railway?"
Robb grinned evilly and said, "that's the territory you gave to Robb Smith. He is my apprentice in magic. On one hand, he wants to learn magic from me, and on the other hand, he wants to manage his own territory. What should I do? That's, of course, the railway. If I transfer the railway to the other place, he can be on duty in two places."
