The manufacturing of the steam locomotive and the laying of the railway were a result of Buffett Banks' investment regardless of the cost. Together with Chaos City's support, they were able to build the steam locomotive in just a few months, and at the same time, connect Chaos City — the elven railway.
The city lord's castle's contribution was no less than that of Buffett Banks. Many of the workers present were from the city lord's castle.
Hence, as soon as the city lord Michael boarded the steam locomotive, the crowd applauded enthusiastically.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. On behalf of the city lord's castle, on behalf of Chaos City, and on behalf of all the citizens on the continent who might have benefited from avoiding a war because of you, I would like to extend my highest respect to all of you," Michael said in a loud and sincere voice before bowing deeply to everyone.
The crowd applauded thunderously, and many of the workers couldn't help but turn their faces away to wipe their tears secretly.
Michael straightened up, and nodded at Hill, indicating that she could come up. The whole process took less than two minutes.
Hill looked at the exhausted faces below the stage, and said with the same sincerity, "I am Hill Buffett. Thank you for your double efforts during this period. I promise that apart from the normal salary, all the workers will receive half a month's salary as a bonus after all the work is done."
Cheers erupted below the stage again, and everyone smiled joyfully.
Due to the uniqueness of the project, the salary level was already much higher than outside work. They didn't expect to receive half a month's salary as a bonus, which was a huge surprise to many people.
Hill looked at Meg.
Everyone also looked at Meg.
Many of the workers recognized this young man. He was someone who even the chief engineer respected very much. He would be invited to every important debugging, and they would listen to his opinion before making changes to the steam locomotive. Furthermore, it was said that he was the designer of the steam locomotive, and also the initiator of this project.
They were gathered here because of this man. He overcame all kinds of impossibilities and created this incredible big guy.
10 minutes, and you left me 7 minutes? Meg raised his eyebrows slightly, but everyone's gazes were already focused on him. As the initiator, he had to say a few words, and there were indeed many things he wanted to say.
Meg held Amy's hand and walked up the wide and flat metal stairs of the steam locomotive to the platform in front of the locomotive. The boiler had already started burning, and the entire locomotive was warm. Even the metal railings were warm.
"The little girl is so cute."
"Yes, she must have a beautiful elf mother."
"This gentleman is also very handsome!"
Everyone looked at the father and daughter and couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"Hello, I'm Meg, the head chef and owner of Amy's. I'm also the father of Amy, a contributing student. Just like you, I'm an ordinary but indispensable member of the steam locomotive's creation process," Meg said with a smile.
Everyone smiled knowingly. Although this was Meg's humble words, it made them feel equal and respected, as well as a sense of recognition for their work during this period of time.
"I'm very touched to see this steam locomotive finally see the light of day. It's a bold and imaginative idea, and a group of capable partners. You've created a miracle, and perhaps it's also the prelude to a new era. You will be remembered in the history of the Norland Continent. On your epitaphs, it can be written: One of the creators of the steam locomotive. This is an honor that belongs to you. It's the honor of this world to have you, "Meg said from the bottom of his heart.
Warm applause broke out below the stage, and tears glistened in the eyes of the people below the stage.
Meg looked at them quietly, and felt his vision blur a little.
He had the opportunity to become one of these engineers, but unfortunately, his conditions didn't allow it. His family was simply too rich.
However, his spirit was with them.
A hint of surprise flashed across Mr. Hill's eyes as he looked at Meg.
Michael was looking at Meg with admiration. Of course, there was also a hint of surprise. In his impression, Alex wasn't someone who could say such sentimental words.
These uncles and aunties must be very powerful and great people, right? Amy stood there obediently and looked up at Mag. Then, she looked at the staff standing below, and thought to herself, "That's right.
"There's no need to repeat the praises. You're the best team I've ever seen. What I want to talk to you about is the future of the steam locomotive and the railway. I want to tell you what a great thing you're doing now," Meg said with a smile after the applause died down.
Everyone's voices gradually lowered as they looked at Meg expectantly.
They knew that the steam locomotive might change some things, but they couldn't predict what changes would happen.
Meg continued, "The steam locomotive that burns ores to obtain kinetic energy will replace most of the transportation and become the first choice for medium and long-distance travel and freight transport. Our railway tracks will be spread all over the Norland Continent, and people will be able to choose to take the train to any place. "The world will be integrated at an unprecedented speed, and many industries and barriers will be greatly impacted. Perhaps in the near future, we will be able to see a world that is gradually integrating, and the railways will be like a net that connects the entire continent together. "
The pairs of eyes gradually lit up. Some were in disbelief, and some were elated.
They got together and made a steam locomotive that could run by burning a fire. However, they had never thought that this steam locomotive would have such a huge impact on the Norland Continent. They could feel their blood boiling just by listening to Mag's description.
Mr. Hill's eyes also lit up as he looked at Meg. He pursed his lips as if he wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
"Whether it's Alex back then or Mr. Meg now, he is always impressive." Michael took the lead to clap his hands as he looked at Meg with admiration. He lamented in his heart, He is so much calmer now. It seems that the ambush three years ago and little Amy still had a big impact on him.
Listening to the loud applause and looking at the pairs of sparkling eyes, Meg was a little surprised at his improvisational ability. Maybe he should have learned from Rebus and wandered around the mobile phone industry. Maybe he could have held a MS-10 product launch.
After the applause stopped, Mr. Hill took a look at his watch and nodded slightly at Meg.
"It's a great honor to be able to participate in the trial run of S.S. Peace with all of you here today. Now, let us witness this moment together," Meg said loudly.
"Woo …"
A long whistle sounded, and white smoke rushed out of the chimney. The huge train started to tremble slightly, and then slowly moved forward with a sizzling sound …
