A melodious whistle sounded, and the huge steam locomotive started to tremble slightly before moving forward slowly.
Everyone watched this scene with their eyes wide open. They watched as the steam locomotive started to move slowly, witnessing this moment that would go down in history.
All the hard work he had put in over the past few months had paid off perfectly at this moment.
They had succeeded!
"The train is moving!"
There were thunderous cheers, and many people threw their hats into the sky.
Meanwhile, Amy, who had been very obedient and quiet all this while, suddenly had flaming wheels appear under her feet, and her magic caster's staff appear in her hand. She pointed at the steam locomotive with a vigilant expression. "What kind of demon is that?!"
"It's a train." Meg quickly carried the little one down as he tried to hold back his laughter.
Amy kept her flaming wheels, but still frowned, and said, "But it's shouting at me."
Hill, who was at the side, twitched his mouth. His gaze drifted to the sky as he tried his best not to laugh out loud.
"It's reminding everyone that it's about to move, and it's blowing the whistle." Meg explained with a smile. He didn't dare to let his great aunt blow the train. Otherwise, Gong Chengshi's heart would be broken.
"Oh." Amy sized up the locomotive for a while more before putting her magic caster's staff away.
Under the watchful eyes of the many staff members, the train slowly left the departure point and moved forward steadily. Its speed gradually increased, and it gradually became a black dot moving forward in a straight line in their line of sight.
The staff members on the train also burst into cheers.
Meg could feel their joy, and he could empathize with them.
He had never thought that he would be able to travel on a steam locomotive on the Norland Continent. Everything had happened too quickly, and it felt like a dream.
Meg stood at the front of the locomotive and felt the steam locomotive's operating condition. The speed had already been raised to the maximum, which was about 50km/h. It was an incredible speed, and the operation was relatively stable. However, there was still a lot of room for optimization in terms of shock absorption, and the jerks during the journey were still a little strong.
For the steam locomotive's first official trial run, this was already an impeccable result.
"Now, I completely believe what you said previously." Michael looked at Meg with admiration. "This is indeed an invention that can change the world."
"I hope for world peace." Meg smiled.
Michael nodded. "I think this big guy will make the representatives of the various races change their minds. In terms of trade, it will bring about disruptive changes to the world."
"Maybe we can have a drink to celebrate." Hill smiled. Her assistant took out the red wine that had already been prepared and poured it into three crystal glasses.
"To the victory of this battle against time," Michael said with a smile as he took the glass.
"For world peace." Meg picked up the wine glass.
"Happy cooperation." Hill raised his glass.
After a brief celebration, Michael got out of the car early. There were still many things waiting for him to deal with at the city lord's mansion.
Meg, on the other hand, took Amy on a tour of the interior of the train. Two bare-chested, stocky dwarves were shoveling coal into the boiler. The blazing flames made the temperature in the boiler room quite high.
"So the train is a car that burns fire, not a car that spits fire." Amy muttered thoughtfully. She looked up at Meg and asked, "Those two dwarven uncles are having a hard time. Do you need my help?"
"No need. Amy's flames are different from theirs. They might cook the train." Meg quickly stopped Amy from helping. If she threw a fireball, the boiler might explode.
"Let's go. Let's go to the carriage at the back to take a look." Meg led Amy into the next carriage. The second carriage was a passenger carriage. According to Meg's suggestion, rows of seats were custom-made. There were four seats in a row, and each carriage could accommodate 100 passengers.
However, there were no customers today. The carriage was full of steam locomotive designers and testers. They were busy recording various data during the operation of the train.
"Mr. Meg." Chief Engineer Blair stepped forward and shook Meg's hand excitedly. "We did it!"
"Yes, we did it." Meg also held Blair's hand tightly. Looking at his increasingly balding appearance, it was obvious that he had put in a lot of effort for this project.
"Grandpa, I recommend you try our restaurant's' Buddha jumps over the wall '. Your hair will grow back," Amy said seriously as she looked at Blair's hair.
"Hehe, okay." Blair smiled and nodded. He looked at Meg and said, "This little girl is so cute."
"She takes after her mother." Meg replied a little proudly. However, he soon talked to Blair about some of the problems he felt earlier.
Meg participated in almost the entire trial run process and gave his own opinions on some of the optimizations.
The trial run was very successful. At least, they successfully drove the train out and back in one piece.
"Mr. Meg, thank you for taking the time to participate in the trial run," Hill said to Meg as he stood in front of the carriage.
"That's what I should do." Meg nodded.
"There's something I would like you to consider. Are you willing to participate in the development of a series of steam engine and steam locomotive products with me? Whether it's shares or remuneration, you can ask for them yourself. " Hill looked at Meg seriously, and said, "You are the most suitable person I have ever seen to do this. I believe that you and I can create a huge business empire that far surpasses Buffett Banks."
"I agree with you on this point." Mag looked at Scheer with a smile and shook his head as he said, "However, I'm very sorry. Compared to creating a huge business empire, I prefer cooking and taking care of children. That kind of happiness cannot be replaced by any amount of money."
Hill was a little disappointed, but he quickly smiled, and said, "That's an expected answer. However, I will always keep this position for you. If you change your mind, you can let me know anytime."
"Okay." Meg nodded with a smile.
…
"Where's the child you mentioned? I want to see her, "Louis asked Jinx as he walked out of the castellan's residence.
"She's working as a waiter in a restaurant. I can bring you there," Jinx said.
"Waiter?" Louis frowned. "How can a child of the Golden Dragon tribe be a waiter?!"
"That's nothing. The little princess of the Frost Dragon tribe is also a waiter there." Jinx shrugged nonchalantly. He looked at the incredulous Louis with a smile, and said, "Uncle, that restaurant is not ordinary. It doesn't seem to be something embarrassing to be a waiter there."
"Could it be opened by a powerhouse?" Louis's brows were still tightly knitted.
"That's not it. You'll know when you see it for yourself." Jinx kept him in suspense.
