"Mr. McGonagall's suggestion hit the nail on the head and solved many of our troubled problems. I should have consulted you earlier." Blair put the paper away solemnly and looked at Mag with some shame.
If he was skeptical when he first took over the steam locomotive project, as the project progressed, his admiration for the designer McGonagall became stronger and stronger.
After today's on-site inspection, Mag pointed out the problem and provided the simplest solution, which made Blair admire Mag even more.
Such people can only be called geniuses if they have wild ideas but are able to put them into practice.
"You are exaggerating. Although some problems must be solved, if there is a straight track here, it should be possible to conduct a straight driving test." Mag said with a smile. Standing on the shoulders of those in front of him, he did not feel that he had anything to be proud of. , Blair, who was able to build such a steam locomotive in such a short period of time with only blueprints and a simple model, could be worthy of the title of great engineer.
"There is a linear track of about one thousand meters in the base." Blair looked happy, but lowered his voice a little and said: "But before the trial operation, the area must be cleared first."
Mag nodded slightly. It seemed that even the inside of the project was being kept confidential.
The two landed again. Blair, Michael and Hill briefly reported the situation, and then began to direct the clearing work.
The busy dwarf blacksmiths and magicians were quickly ordered to leave and enter the side passage. The entire cave suddenly became quiet and empty.
The lifting platform slowly descended, lowering the steam locomotive to the ground.
The staff entered the locomotive, shovelfuls of coal were fed into the boiler, and black smoke rose from the chimney.
"The air pressure reaches the threshold!"
"start up!"
"Uuuuuu——"
Following the voice of the staff, a loud whistle sounded, water vapor surged out, and the huge steam locomotive began to drive forward slowly.
"Besides! What's more! What's more!..."
The friction between the train wheels and the rails made a deafening sound, and the ground was shaking slightly, as if a giant beast was slowly waking up.
The steam locomotive began to speed up and drove forward smoothly.
It did not rely on any animal power, nor did it require the control of magicians and knights. It was just a group of ordinary people who made such a behemoth run.
The wide carriage can hold far more cargo than any freight carriage. The most important thing is that it does not need to rest. As long as there is sufficient coal, it can keep moving. This is something that cannot be achieved by any current freight transportation method.
Both Hill and Michael's eyes lit up.
In their hearts, they have already drawn a blueprint.
"I'm used to seeing high-speed trains with speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour. I'm really not used to seeing stupid guys who can't even compete with green skins..." Mag also felt a little emotional. He was finally going to start changing the world.
Because the track was limited, it started to slow down before reaching the maximum speed, and finally stopped at the end of the track.
Michael took the lead in applauding, and everyone also applauded one after another.
Blair and the staff who got off the steam locomotive could not hide their excitement. After fighting for half a month in this dark cave, their hard work was finally not in vain.
Michael said loudly and affectionately: "I believe that it won't be long before this big guy can change the world, and you are the creators of it all! I am honored to be able to witness this important moment."
Another burst of cheers erupted in the cave.
Mag declined Hill's invitation to the celebration banquet and left the construction base early. The secretary who had brought him here before sent him back to Maimi's restaurant.
Compared with the celebration banquet, preparing dinner for the guests is naturally more important.
"Obviously it's just to make money." The system sounded a somewhat contemptuous voice.
"Isn't it natural to bring happiness to customers and realize the value of life at the same time?" Mag said with a matter-of-fact expression.
It was already four o'clock when she returned to the restaurant, and Mag immediately devoted herself to preparing the ingredients.
He is still unable to estimate how much profit 10% of steam locomotive shares and 20% of steam engine product shares can bring him, but there should be no possibility of cashing out in the short term.
And this is like the stocks of Tencent and Alibaba in their early stages. Holding them for a long time and making a fortune while lying down is undoubtedly the smartest way. No one knows better than him that once the steam era begins, it will roll forward unstoppably.
Of course, McGonagall also thought that if he negotiated directly with Hill and gave up these two shares, he might be able to get enough money to directly buy the physical fitness points from the system to restore his peak strength.
This idea has been swirling in his mind for a long time, but he is not sure that he can get enough money from Hill and Michael through negotiations now.
The most difficult part of this system that can make you stronger with krypton gold is the geometric increase in the purchase amount of physical quality points. Who knows how much it will ask for next time.
"System, please do the math for me. If I open a restaurant like this and want to regain my peak strength, how many years will it take to buy physical fitness points from you?"
"I really want to live for another five hundred years, I really want to live for another five hundred years..." A vicissitudes of song played repeatedly in Mag's mind.
Mag: "..."
"System, you will be beaten to death sooner or later." Mag rolled his eyes. It seemed that he really needed to be more cautious.
"It doesn't matter if you don't borrow five hundred years. Elephant Shibei is here to help you! Host, in view of your low enthusiasm for using Elephant Shibei, this system has launched a month-long red envelope event. Huge bounties will be given away for free. As long as You can promote Shibei and let them search for: 568, 464, 257, and you will get extra bounty!" the system said positively.
"Crazy, I'm the only one using the system, and I'm the only user of Shibei! You think you're Huabei! You're still promoting it, get lost!" Mag rolled his eyes. This system comes up all the time, and it doesn't work at all. Considering the situation, when he was often on Weibo's hot searches, there were quite a few people posting such advertisements in his name. Naturally, he didn't bother to do such a thing.
As the sun gradually set, Amy also returned to the restaurant. After dinner, the longest and busiest evening business hours began.
"Eh? There are so many people in this restaurant. Is there anything good to eat? My father told me before I came here that there must be good food in a place with a lot of people. I just don't know if it's expensive. I feel bad if it's too expensive... "In the distance, a giant dragon that shrank to a height of five meters but still maintained its dragon shape looked at the direction of Maimi's Restaurant from a distance. After hesitating for a while, it still walked towards the direction of the restaurant.
"If it's expensive, just eat the King's meal. This is what my father taught me!"
