"Mr. Meg's suggestion hit the nail on the head and solved many of our problems. We should have consulted you earlier." Blair solemnly put away the piece of paper and looked at Meg with some shame.
If he had doubts when he first took over the steam locomotive project, his admiration for Meg, the designer, grew stronger as the project progressed.
Furthermore, after today's on-site inspection, Mag pointed out the crux of the problem, and even provided the simplest solution. This made Bourell admire Mag even more.
Such a person could only be called a genius if he could come up with a bold and imaginative idea that could be implemented.
"You flatter me. Although there are some problems that have to be solved, if there is a straight track here, we should be able to conduct a straight driving test." Meg said with a smile. He, who was standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, did not feel that he had anything to be proud of. Blair, who could build such a steam locomotive in such a short time with only a blueprint and a simple model, was worthy of the title of a great engineer.
"There is a straight track of about a kilometer in the base." Blair's face lit up, but he lowered his voice and said, "But before the trial run, we have to clear the place first."
Meg nodded slightly. It seemed that even within the project, it was also confidential.
The two of them landed again. Blair briefly reported the situation to Michael and the Hill, and then began to command the clearing work.
The busy dwarf blacksmiths and mages were quickly ordered to leave and enter the passage at the side. The entire cave suddenly became quiet and empty.
The lift platform slowly lowered and lowered the steam locomotive to the ground.
The staff entered the locomotive and shoveled coal into the boiler. Black smoke rose from the chimney.
"The air pressure has reached the threshold!"
"Start!"
"Woo woo woo —"
Following the voice of the staff, a loud whistle sounded. Steam gushed out, and the huge steam locomotive began to move forward slowly.
"Besides! Besides! Besides! Besides … "
The friction between the train wheels and the rails made a deafening sound. The ground trembled slightly as if a giant beast was slowly awakening.
The steam locomotive began to speed up and move forward steadily.
They didn't rely on any animal power, nor did they need any magicians or knights to control them. They were just a group of ordinary people, and yet they were able to make such a huge creature run.
The spacious carriage could carry far more goods than any other carriage. Most importantly, it didn't need to rest. As long as there was enough coal, it could keep moving. This was something that no other means of transportation could do.
The Hill and Michael's eyes lit up.
In their hearts, they had already drawn a blueprint.
"I'm used to seeing high-speed trains that travel at hundreds of kilometers per hour. I'm not used to seeing these stupid guys who can't even compare to Green Skins …" Meg sighed. He was finally going to change the world.
Because the track was limited, it began to slow down before reaching its maximum speed. Finally, it stopped at the end of the track.
Michael took the lead in clapping, and everyone else followed suit.
Blair and the staff members who came down from the steam engine couldn't hide their excitement. After half a month of hard work in this dark cave, their efforts had not been in vain.
Michael said emotionally, "I believe that it won't be long before this big guy can change the world, and you are the creators of all of this! I'm honored to be able to witness this important moment. "
There was another burst of cheers in the cave.
Meg declined the invitation to the celebration banquet on the Hill and left the construction base early. The secretary who brought him here sent him back to Amy's.
Compared to the celebration banquet, it was naturally more important to make dinner for the guests.
"It's obviously to make money." The system's voice sounded with some disdain.
"Isn't it natural to bring happiness to the guests and realize the value of life at the same time?" Meg said matter-of-factly.
It was already four o 'clock when he returned to the restaurant. Meg immediately immersed himself in preparing the ingredients.
He was still unable to estimate how much profit the 10% shares of the steam locomotive and 20% shares of the steam engine products would bring him, but there was no possibility of cashing out in the short term.
Moreover, this was like the shares of Tencent and Alibaba in their early stages. It was undoubtedly the smartest thing to do for a long time. No one knew better than him that once the steam engine era began, it would roll forward unstoppably.
Of course, Meg also thought that if he directly negotiated with the Hill and gave up these two shares, he might be able to get enough money to buy the points needed to restore his peak strength directly from the system.
This idea had been circling in his mind for a long time, but he was not confident that he would be able to get enough money from the Hill and Michael during the negotiation.
The most difficult part of this system that could make one stronger by spending money was the exponential increase in the purchase price of physical strength points. Who knew how much it would charge the next time?
"System, calculate for me. If I were to open a restaurant like this, how many years would it take to restore my peak strength and buy the points from you?"
"I really want to live for another five hundred years, I really want to live for another five hundred years …" A vicissitude song echoed in Meg's mind.
Meg was speechless.
"System, you will be beaten to death sooner or later if you continue like this." Meg rolled his eyes. It seemed that he really needed to be more careful.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to borrow it for another five hundred years. Elephant Eat Bar is here to help you! Host, due to your lack of enthusiasm in using Elephant Eat Bar, the system has specially launched a one-month red packet promotion. A huge reward will be given for free. As long as you can promote Elephant Eat Bar and let them search for: 568,464,257, you will receive an additional reward! "the system said enthusiastically.
"Crazy, I am the only one using the system. I am the only user of Elephant Eat Bar! Do you think you are a flower? Promote it? Get lost! " Meg rolled his eyes. This system was so fickle and did not consider the situation at all. When he was often on Weibo's trending searches, there were many people who used his name to post such advertisements. Naturally, he would not do such a thing.
The sun gradually set in the west, and Amy returned to the restaurant. After dinner, it was time for the longest and busiest dinner hours.
"Eh? There are so many people in this restaurant. Is there something good to eat? Before I came, my father told me that there must be something good in a crowded place. I just don't know if it is expensive. If it is too expensive, my heart will ache … "In the distance, a giant dragon who had shrunk to a height of five meters but still maintained its dragon form looked in the direction of Amy's. It hesitated for a while, but still walked in the direction of the restaurant.
"If it is expensive, I will eat and dash. This is what my father taught me!"
