The starting steam locomotive is like a gradually awakening monster. White steam emerges from the chimney of the locomotive. The steam pushes the piston to move. The train begins to make a clicking sound, waiting for its first departure. .
"It actually moved!" Hill's eyes lit up, and the white steam made the room start to get a little hot and humid. After a moment's hesitation, she still grabbed the handle and sat on the seat behind Mag.
If the steam engine is enough to change the world, as Mag and Haider said, then the so-called train in front of her now will be the first step in changing the world.
Although Buffett's bank is still booming, she can already foresee the upper limits and limitations of the future. But if she can be the first to take hold of the steam engine and use it, a world of infinite possibilities will open in front of the Buffett family.
The position of president of the Aden Chamber of Commerce is her current small goal. If she seizes this opportunity, it may become something she can easily achieve in the future.
Of course, the most important and critical thing now is whether this train can start.
"Although the train is very safe, Miss Hill, please sit still." Mag gave a warm reminder, holding the operating lever in her hand, and her heart was beating loudly.
He is not an experienced driver, but since he can get this little train out, he naturally understands its principles.
The fool-like operation method was not difficult, but the feeling that one push could push the world forward, and it was completely impossible to predict what kind of impact the emergence of steam trains would have on the magician world made him feel Feeling a little nervous.
"Since there is no choice, let's change the world." Mag took a deep breath and pushed the putter forward.
The gears meshed, and the small train shook violently. The connecting rod connected to the piston began to drive the wheels forward, and began to accelerate slowly, and started to drive on the track.
"this!"
Hill's eyes widened with shock and disbelief on his face.
Without any external push, just relying on coal combustion, this heavy iron car actually drove the two people along the track.
Although I have been listening to the reports of Haider's team over the years and have some understanding of steam engines, Hill's heart broke when he really saw that light water vapor actually produced such huge energy and turned it into energy that could be controlled and utilized. Still beating loudly.
She couldn't understand what kind of process this was, but she knew that if this energy was stable and reliable, then all the work that required strength and simple reciprocating motion might be replaced by steam engines, and the world would be completely changed.
This is such a huge market that Hill can't even imagine.
But she knew clearly that she must be the first to grasp this technology.
This will be the most powerful trend in the coming decades, even centuries.
Coal is a completely worthless thing, and it is almost inexhaustible in the wilderness of the chaotic city.
The speed of the small train is not very fast. Although the hot and humid steam is exhausted to the side, the room area is limited, and a lot of it is directly slapped on the face. The experience is not good, but it is the first time for a steam locomotive in this world. Showing is naturally enough.
After circling the room, McGrath returned the push rod, isolating the source of steam and fire. The small train slowly stopped, and the entire large room was enveloped in water vapor. Although it was hot and humid, it still had a bit of fairy air. Feel.
Mag got off the train, then opened the door for Hill and helped her get out of the car. Their clothes and hair were wetted by the hot and humid steam, but they were both a little excited at this time and didn't care at all.
"Mr. McGonagall, this is really a creative invention. You will definitely become an inventor recorded in the history of Nolan Continent." Hill looked at McGonagall, his eyes unabashedly admiring and praising him.
"Actually, I'm just a chef." Mag said modestly.
"As a top chef, being able to make such creative inventions in machinery can only be described by the word genius." Hill looked at Mag, he had brought her too many surprises and surprises, and today this A steam locomotive completely subverted her outlook and imagination.
Mag was not overwhelmed by the praise, and looked at Hill and said straight to the point: "It is indeed a happy thing to hear Miss Hill's praise, but I don't know if Miss Hill is interested in this steam engine and steam locomotive. Or are you interested in cooperation?"
"It is indeed a very promising thing to be able to operate a car using coal. However, whether it can be successfully promoted and used on a large scale will require time and continuous testing, and there are considerable risks involved." Hill looked at Mag, pondered for a while and said: "Buffett Bank can invest 10 million copper coins to buy out Mr. Mag's technology on steam engines and steam locomotives, and bear all risks."
Although he believed that this was a very strong trend, Hill still did not take his words too seriously. Promoting something that has never appeared in this world requires taking great risks.
If you succeed, you may go straight to the sky; if you fail, you may lose everything.
As a businessman, risk control is the most basic.
"Ten million copper coins is indeed a large amount. It seems that Miss Hill also recognized that this technology will have a great impact on the existing industries of this world." Mag looked at Hill, shook his head and said: " However, this is not the way I want to cooperate. The reason for cooperating with Ms. Hill is because of Buffett Bank’s strong strength and network. What I value is the future of this technology.”
Hill's expression became a little solemn, and he thought for a while and said, "I wonder what kind of cooperation Mr. Mag expects?"
"My expectation is to have a three-way cooperation with the City Lord's Mansion and Buffett's Bank. I will provide technology, Buffett's Bank will provide funds, and the City Lord's Mansion will provide resources and protection to jointly develop and operate steam locomotives and steam engines." Mag stretched out his hand to support the slightly hot man beside him. The steam locomotive looked along the railway track with a look of anticipation on his face, "If you want to lay a railway network covering the entire Norland continent and revitalize the entire world's transportation and freight, funds and technology alone are far away. Not nearly enough.”
Hill looked at Mag, his eyes gradually brightened, and his gaze became a little different.
As a chef, Mag showed his genius in mechanics, but in the final analysis he was still a businessman, a businessman with great vision and overall perspective.
She rarely admired others, but at this moment, she felt faintly convinced of Mag.
"Are you sure the City Lord's Palace will be involved?" Hill asked.
"Does Miss Hill think that the City Lord's Palace will not participate?" Mag asked with a smile.
