Chapter 658: Canyon Railway


Although the time a few days ago had a great impact on the train station, as can be seen from the depression in and out of the train station, the service of the train station itself has not been reduced, especially the first-class treatment has remained The level that should be.
In addition to fresh fruits, food and ice drinks that are often filled, special waiters will be waiting outside the door to wait for the dispatch of first-class passengers.
Not long after Leo sat down, he ordered the waiter outside the door to fetch as many recent newspapers as possible, both inside the Savile Kingdom and abroad.
Not long after Leo made the request, the waiter walked in with a box in it, took out a piece of ironed newspaper from the box, and placed it on the table at Leo's hand.
Leo quickly picked out the newspapers he had read before, and finally left more than 20 copies of newspapers from other cities in the Savile Kingdom and abroad, and then carefully got up.
The vast majority of the content in these newspapers is similar, there is not much new, but the only newspaper in the newspaper from Deliyat has caught Leo’s attention. The content of this news is that it was reported a few days ago. When the world changed, a sudden snowstorm broke out in the north of Dialiat. The temperature dropped rapidly, and it has not stopped to this day. A snow disaster has formed. Some people have also found the Moss Sea in the north of Dialiat. It started to freeze.
The Weiyin continent and the Minsk continent are separated by the Silver Moon Sea. The name of the Silver Moon Sea is coming again because this ocean is indeed in the shape of a silver moon, and because the celebrities at the time did not have any talents, such a name was born casually.
However, Yinyuehai is only a general term for this ocean. In fact, this ocean is divided into four parts. The southernmost point is naturally a pearl island chain connected to the starry sea. To the north is the Xingyuehai, and to the north is the Yinyuehai. In the middle of the lake, here is generally called the Moon Sea, and the northernmost point is the Moss Sea.
The reason why it is called the Moss Sea is not to name the sea area according to the shape or climate of the sea area, because the most west side of this sea area is Moss Harbor on the northeast corner of the Weinland Continent.
The port of Moss is called the source of pirates by historians in the Velon world. The earliest pirates in the world may not have originated from here, but the pirate ship of a scale that has been recorded has originated here. For a long time, the pirates of Moss Almost became a nightmare in various cities along the mainland of Velen. There are countless bedside songs about the horror of the Moss pirates.
Although Moss Pirates have a variety of horror legends and have become synonymous with negative words such as terror, greed, brutality, etc. in various books of the Velon world, it is undeniable that Moss Pirates sailed the entire Velon world Career has played a huge role indisputably.
The world's earliest topographic map of the Velen continent originated from the Moss pirate. The earliest communication route with the Minsk continent was also established by the Moss pirate. The discovery of the Moss continent is also the Moss pirate. Even the name of the Moss continent is Moss The Pirates of Sri Lanka gave them, and the first voyage to the star sea, the fleet that completed the first three continental voyages was also the Moss Pirates.
Because of this, the route connecting the Minsk continent in the northern part of Velun was named the Moss route, and the sea area where the route is located is the Moss Sea.
The reason why Leo is interested in the news of the freezing of the Moss Sea is because there are records showing that thousands of years ago, the Moss Sea would have formed a thick layer of ice in winter, and built a cross-sea ice bridge. People can walk on ice.
It is for this reason that many scholars who study the blood of the three continents said that the people living on the Minsk continent are likely to be from the Velun continent, and their ancestors are more likely to cause the Black Forest tribes and the law to escape from the Velun continent. The slaves of the Orchid Empire, etc. In the era of underdeveloped navigation, these people came to settle in the sparsely populated Minsk mainland through this cross-sea ice bridge. It was not until the climate change ice bridge disappeared that the connection between the two continents was completely in the middle. It wasn't until the nautical technology developed later that they could get in touch again.
This is not an argument that scholars are thinking about, but there is clear evidence that all kinds of stone carvings, pottery and other daily objects of the early tribes of Minsk mainland have the style of the most primitive form of Weilun mainland.
However, some scholars have put forward different views, thinking that the Minsk continent is the human origin of the Velon world. The earliest humans on the Minsk continent passed through the ice bridge to reach the Velon land and gradually multiplied.
The reason for this argument is that a large number of ancient civilization remains have been found in the desert of the Savile Kingdom, but there are no such remains on the Weilun continent.
Leo is not interested in which continent is the birthplace of humans in the Velon world. He is more concerned about the freezing of the Moss Sea. Obviously this matter should be related to the changes in the Velon world. If he does not If the estimation is wrong, this winter the Moss Sea will definitely reappear with the ice bridge that has disappeared for thousands of years.
"In case, if it really appears, then you can only walk this ice bridge." Leo closed the newspaper and murmured a little in his heart.
Leo suddenly made such a decision entirely because of various reports about dense sea fog appearing in the newspaper. He remembered reading a nautical book. The book mentioned that the first thing that hindered the avionics adventure in the world was the perennial entrenchment. Dense fog on the sea, and in some other folklore, it was mentioned more than once in the past that the sea was covered by thick fog, hiding countless huge and dangerous sea monsters .
If it’s just a country and a national legend is written like this, it’s okay, but the problem is that many countries’ folklore is described in this way, then it shows that the sea on the surface of the Velon world has indeed been entrenched in dense fog. This also made Leo could not help but think of the dense fog that wraps countless worlds.
This time, the dense fog at sea due to the changes in the world, I don’t know when it will dissipate. If these dense fogs cannot be dispersed, Leo will have to consider other ways to leave Minsk, and the Ice Bridge is One of the good ways.
As Leo planned the next trip in his mind, there were waves of steam train whistle coming from a distance, and then everyone felt a faint vibration from the ground, and a light appeared in the darkness in the distance. It didn't take long to see a steel monster rumbling into the station and finally stopped slowly.
In order to reduce the burden of the railway steel frame, the train is not stopped with a brake device that will cause huge friction, but it will slow down the vehicle at a long distance until it enters the train station and can naturally stop, but only Location is slightly different.
To this end, the railway designer specially designed a set of movable bridges for each station. After the train stopped completely, the station’s bridge controllers controlled each channel bridge to move to the corresponding position and put it down. Link with the train door.
However, this time there was a little trouble in the link between the transport bridge and the first-class channel bridge. After several dockings, it was connected to the train door. Obviously this was because the operator of the channel bridge was unfamiliar. However, the reason is probably that the station staff who controlled the two access bridges died in the disaster that night, and the descendants who inherited their duties have not been fully familiar with this work.
After the channel docking is completed, the station waiter enters the waiting room and leads the first-class passengers in the room from the special channel into the first-class cabin at the front of the car. Then the first-class waiter sees everyone's tickets and leads them to go Go to the respective compartment.
Leo’s room is close to the end of the passenger car, and the location is not too good, but because it is next to the restaurant car, the direction of the meal is more.
In order to distribute the weight of various parts of the train and avoid the heavy weight of a certain place, the railway designer also designed a unique train for this railway.
This train did not use a huge locomotive like the Weilun Continental Continental Train to drive the entire train, but divided the huge locomotive into six smaller locomotives that were much lighter.
Of the six small locomotives, four are placed on the front and rear sides to provide the main push-pull force, while the other two are arranged in the middle of the train, dividing the car into three parts: first-class car, ordinary car and freight car.
When the train is approaching the station, the four main locomotives will stop running, and instead the middle two locomotives will provide less thrust, slow down the speed, and enter the station.
Although this industrial design is obviously very simple compared to spaceships in the universe, it can be regarded as a great design in the Velon world. Unfortunately, the surrounding railway designers have not left any names, or more To be correct, the official of the Kingdom of Savile did not record any name of this person, but just called it by a substitute name such as designer.
Regarding this, there are many speculations from the outside world. Some people think that the designer’s identity is very high, but it is inconvenient to disclose it for special reasons, so he only uses the pronoun of the designer or the like. The only people in the Kingdom of Savile who can acquire such a high level of knowledge are those nobles with extremely high status.
However, some people think that this designer is a criminal with the lowest status, because in the Savile Kingdom, only criminals with a lower status than slaves are not allowed to have names or even to show their faces. This was because of the construction of the Canyon Railway at that time. You can see from the record that when the designer appeared in front of the person, he always completely covered his face.
As to who is the designer of the Canyon Railway, all kinds of guesses are just guesses, even if they are reasonable, but because there is no substantive evidence to prove it, it still cannot be regarded as a positive answer. This matter It has become a mystery, and as time goes by, the chance of solving this mystery is getting smaller and smaller.
However, the operators of Canyon Railway seem to be willing to let this mystery exist for a long time, and use it as a selling point of Canyon Railway Tourism. They even put books written by some scholars about who the railway designer is in each first class The cabin of the cabin allows passengers who reached this train to deepen their impression of the Canyon Railway.
Leo also had to admire the railway operator's drill camp, and he was hated to pick up the books in the room and read them.
At Leo's speed of reading, the books were soon read by Leo, and the train had not started yet.
Originally Leo just read this book casually, but after seeing the words and manners of the railway designer mentioned by some of the parties who built the Canyon Railway in the book, Leo couldn't help but appear a person in his heart, and in his heart Comparing the time, I discovered that the railway designer was probably someone he knew, and that person was King Saran Meyer.
At the beginning, Leo felt that he might have guessed wrong. After all, the relationship between Saran and the Kingdom of Savile can be said to be a dead enemy. She should not help Savile to build such a railway that can be called the lifeline of the economy. It is important to know that the direct and indirect benefits brought by this railway to the Savile Kingdom account for more than 80% of the annual tax revenue.
It is no exaggeration to say that if something goes wrong with the Canyon Railway, the economy of the entire Savile Kingdom will collapse in just one month.
But Leo thought about it again and found that the possibility that the king-selector Saran is a railway designer is increasing, mainly because of the huge benefits this railway brings to the Kingdom of Savile, in the economy of the Kingdom of Savile Acting as a pillar, this railway has become the deadliest hole in the Savile Kingdom.
You know, in the past, the Kingdom of Savile was known as a kingdom that would never fall. No matter whether it was the Kingdom of Marais or the Kingdom of Deliyat, it never really captured the Kingdom of Savile because of its special geographical environment and seemingly Sandy, practical and flexible tribal parliamentary system~EbookFREE.me~Once encountering an irresistible strong enemy, the rulers of the Savile Kingdom will be scattered among the nomadic tribes, infiltrating into the depths of the desert, and then living the enemy Was dragged to death in the desert. Even if the king of the kingdom died or was captured, the tribal council would elect a king to succeed from the tribal chief and resist the enemy again.
But now with the emergence of Kingdom Avenue and Canyon Railway, the Kingdom of Savile has entered the urban era, the original flexible tribal system has been transferred to the city, with the emergence of various huge benefits, coupled with the convenience and safety of life, making The people of the Savile tribe are more and more adapted to city life, and the customs of nomadic tribes in the past have been abandoned.
It is conceivable that if the Kingdom of Savile encounters an irresistible strong enemy next time, then they may not be able to annihilate the enemy as before, and the destruction of the kingdom will become a foregone conclusion.
If you want to destroy the Kingdom of Savile, the first step is definitely to destroy the economy of the Kingdom of Savile, so that the Kingdom of Savile will be chaotic for a while before it is attacked by foreign enemies, so that the Canyon Railway has become a deadly point.
"Damn it!" Thinking of this, Leo suddenly couldn't help cursing and glanced at the railway steel frame outside the window.
