This advance meeting before the Peace Conference, in which all races participated at the same time, and the invitation lineup fully complied with the specifications of the Peace Conference, focused the attention of all races in Nolan Continent on the City of Chaos.
On the seemingly calm mainland, frontier troops of all races are sharpening their swords, preparing for the war that will begin after the race conference fails to negotiate.
Even the dwarves, who trade with various tribes, have begun to limit the number of merchants entering and exiting Eisen Iron Castle, and may block the entrance to the castle at any time.
With the arrival of representatives from various ethnic groups, the concierge department of the City Lord's Mansion in the City of Chaos gradually became busy. Fortunately, the City Lord's Mansion was already proficient in arranging a series of meetings, so it was busy and not chaotic.
"City Lord, Miss Hill just sent someone over, saying that preparations for the first train's trial run have been completed and will be ready to depart on time in an hour." Dix walked into the study and looked at Michael and said.
"Very good, it's time for us to set off." Michael stood up and walked towards the door.
"City Lord, Og Tribe Chief Oster, Flame Demon Clan Chief and several other representatives have just arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. Do you need to meet them first?" Dix reminded.
"There's plenty of time to see you tomorrow. They can't compare to the railway staff who have worked hard for countless days and nights." Michael walked out of the door without any hesitation.
"Okay." Dix put away the folder in his hand and quickly followed Michael.
…
In a forest thirty miles north of the City of Chaos, a straight railway passes through the forest.
At the end of the railway was a stone wall. At this time, a steel giant was dragged by several orcs and slowly drove out of the stone wall and stopped in front of the stone wall.
This is a steel behemoth with a height of five meters and a total length of more than 20 meters. Its long chimney reaches into the sky, like a unicorn growing out of it.
Both sides of the railway track were lined with workers and designers who looked tired but had bright eyes.
On the train, there are more than a dozen technicians carrying out final inspection and debugging to ensure that the train can depart smoothly.
Three months of hard work day and night, and the efforts of thousands of outstanding blacksmiths and designers finally created this steel behemoth! Only they themselves know how much effort they put in.
"Miss, the news has been sent to the City Lord's Mansion and Maimi's Restaurant respectively." The secretary stepped forward and said to Hill who was standing aside.
"Okay, then let's wait for the city lord and Mr. McGonagall to witness this moment that may change the course of the world." Hill nodded slightly, looking at the steel behemoth reflecting the metallic luster in the sun, and showed a smile. .
Although she has become the most famous strong woman in the City of Chaos and even Nolan Continent, the voices of doubt have not stopped because she has led Buffett Bank to reach peaks over the years.
What is said the most is that she just inherited Buffett's bank. No matter who sits in this position, they can make a lot of money.
Hill is someone who disdains to defend these ridiculous words, but she has always wanted to make her own breakthrough outside of Buffett's bank.
The emergence of steam locomotives allowed her to see this possibility, a potential market that could rival banks, and a possibility to change the world.
…
Mag, who had just returned to the restaurant with Amy, met the staff sent by Hill, and then took Amy to board the other party's carriage and rushed to the Steam Locomotive Research Center.
The steam engine once changed the world, but here, Mag believes that it can still change the world, and with the help of capital and politics, it will change people's lives and travel methods at an even faster speed.
Today is an even more historic moment. The results of months of hard work by countless staff will finally be revealed. Nolan Continent’s first steam locomotive will undergo its first official trial run on the railway!
"Father, where are we going?" Sitting in the carriage, Amy looked at Mag who couldn't hide his excitement and asked curiously. She rarely saw this expression on her father's face. .
"Go to the north and take Xiaomi to take the train." Mag said with a smile. As the initiator of this project, he also invested a lot of emotion in it and participated in several debugging and seminars. For this official The results of running on the road are as anxious and anticipated as all the staff.
"Train? A car on fire?" Amy blinked.
"No, it's a car that uses fire to make the big car run." Mag smiled and shook his head.
"Oh, that must be the tail of the burned horse, right? How about we try it now?" Amy lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked at the swaying tails of the four unicorn horses running wildly in front of her, feeling a little excited. A blue-purple flame has lit up.
"It's not about burning a horse's tail. Xiaomi will know after a while." Mag quickly grabbed Amy's little hand and glanced apologetically at the staff who gradually widened their eyes due to nervousness.
"Oh." Amy obediently lowered the car curtain, then turned her eyes to the staff member and asked curiously: "Uncle, are you very hot? Why is there so much sweat on your forehead?"
"Ahem...I...I may have worn a little too much." The staff member tugged on his thin work clothes with a slight embarrassment. He had heard about the deeds of the little princess at Maimi's Restaurant and knew that she was a magician. A little genius with two powerful masters.
The carriage left the city of chaos and headed north.
Mag, Amy and Michael arrived at the R&D center almost at the same time.
"Boss Mai, you're here too." Michael rolled off the black unicorn's back and said with a smile as he looked at Mag coming out of the carriage.
"City Lord." Mag nodded slightly in greeting to Michael, and his eyes fell on the steam locomotive parked quietly on the railway track. The sharp-edged front and black metal body glowed with a cold metallic light.
"Uncle City Lord, are you here to take the train too?" Amy got out of the carriage and looked at Michael in surprise.
"Yes, did the little boss also follow Boss Mai to take the train?" Michael looked at Amy with a smile and asked.
"Yeah, except Master, no one knows fire better than me. If there is danger, I can protect my father." Amy nodded her little head.
"Great, the little boss will have to protect me for a while." Michael said with a serious expression.
"This... I have to think about it." Amy held her chin in her hand and thought.
"City Lord, Mr. Mag, you are here." At this time, Hill stepped forward, looked at the two of them and said, "The first steam locomotive is ready to depart. There are still fifteen minutes before the departure time. You guys Do you have anything to say to everyone?”
"Ten minutes, three minutes each for the three of us partners." Michael said with a smile, and was the first to board the train.
