Chapter 492: The new look of the Principality

Ren originally planned to live in the Red Dragon Castle until his son Full Moon.
　　 However, he has too many things to deal with.
　　 The parliamentary duties of Wezeland Floating City, a few students, the affairs of Glamorgan and the Principality, as well as his own research, etc., some can be delayed for a period of time, more needs him to make timely decisions.
　　 Just two days after Aegon left, Akalander, the vice president of the Mechanical Union, came to the door.
"Rene." Under the guidance of a blood guard with scales, Akalander saw Ren who was teasing his son, and laughed loudly: "You really made me find it." He glanced twice. Rex slowly opened up, "Congratulations on becoming a father, this child knows that the future is boundless."
　　 "Thank you." Renn nodded reservedly, still feeling very happy knowing that the other party was just flattering.
　　 Maybe this is what it feels like to be a parent.
　　 He handed the babbling Rex into the arms of his nanny, looked back at Akalander, who was in the dust, and asked, "You are looking for me in such a hurry. Is there something important?"
　　 In the past few years, the two have been working closely together and are very familiar, so they get along more casually.
　　 "Nonsense!" Akalander opened his eyes: "Did you forget what day it is?"
　　 "What date?" Renn didn't remember for a moment.
"Ssangyong Railway is officially opened to traffic today." Akalander replied in an angry voice: "This railway is an idea you put forward. After more than two years of repair, it will finally be opened. The owner of your railway should always show up and attend the opening. Ceremony right?"
　　 "Sorry, it's my fault." Renn was a little embarrassed.
The Ssangyong Railway is indeed my own idea. The first phase of the project starts from Longji City, the capital of the Principality, and connects with another city in the northern part of the Principality of Augustus, Stream City. The main city, finally arrived at the port of Kingsland, the capital.
　　 There will be a second phase in the future. The railway will pass through the Dragon Forest to connect five cities in the south of the Principality.
The third phase of the project is planned to go further. It will open up all the five principalities in the central and southern parts of Congatro. One is to drive the economy of the cities along the railway, and the other is to facilitate the dumping of industrial products produced in the Augustus Principality. Ship back the raw materials.
　　 When the railway network is fully completed, it will become the economic lifeline of Congatro.
　　 Rehn took out the sound meter and checked the time. Just halfway through the morning, he smiled and said, "Are we too late in the past?"
　　 The opening ceremony was held at the starting station of Kingsland, not far from the Red Dragon Fort. It is located in the port area to the east. It only takes ten minutes to ride a horse.
　　 "Everyone is waiting for you." Akalander stood up and said.
　　 "Then go."
　　 Ryan asked Emily to inform him, and the guards returned and said that his Majesty would also attend the opening ceremony, so the trip became more solemn.
A moment later? 　Rain and Akalander boarded Amelis’s majestic carriage? 　There are blood guards guarding the scales before and after, and there are nearly three hundred extraordinary knights on the outside to open the way? 　 drove out of the red forcefully. Longbao? 　 attracted pedestrians on the side of the road to stop and watch.
　　Akaland has seen Amelis several times before, although his strength is stronger than Amelis? 　But the invisible majesty brought by the crown makes him a little more cautious.
　　Amelis asked a few questions about the mechanic union and the railway? 　He answered them all in detail.
　　Ryan is watching from the side? 　Can't help but feel a little strange.
　　 Akalander's soul fluctuates a lot, and his posture is cautious to the point of flattery, not just because of Emily's queen status, it should be because of her.
Reminiscent of the process of cooperation between the mechanical trade union and itself in the past few years? 　Everywhere? 　 Regardless of the cost, giving various preferential terms, even at a loss, just to fully develop mechanization in the Augustus Principality, Renn has something in his heart. Guess? 　The plan of the Mechanic Guild is not satisfied with Augustus, but the whole Kingdom of Congatro.
　　 "The ambition of the mechanical union is not small!"
　　 Ren could not help but secretly said.
　　Not long after? 　The Queen’s motorcade entered the port area and arrived at the newly completed Wangdu Train Station.
The style of this station is incompatible with the surrounding buildings? 　A five-story building stands out from the crowd. The exterior walls built of cement and steel are painted gray? 　How many big characters "Wangdu Station" on the roof of the building? 　 Every word is more than Are people taller? 　 It can glow red at night, and you can see it from a few miles away.
　　 On the side under the building is a spacious train station platform with a canopy supported by steel brackets, which can shelter from wind and rain.
　　 Raine had only seen the design drawing of the station before, and when he saw the real thing, he was in a daze.
　　 The train station in my previous life was like this when I was young.
　　 Later, when he grew up, most of the train stations were transformed into more advanced train stations. I did not expect that in another world, I would have the opportunity to relive the feeling of the year.
For railway transportation, he set up an "Augustus Railway Company". He and the Machinery Union respectively own half of the shares. The machinery union is responsible for daily operation and maintenance of steam trains. The service staff of the station are recruited from the local area. Benefits It was far beyond ordinary work and it caused quite a stir at the time.
　　 At this moment, the station is full of people, and the inside and outside of the platform are leaking.
　　 Most people don’t come to take a car, but to watch the fun.
　　 The extraordinary security guards at the station have all been dispatched to maintain order on the scene, and a passage at the gate of the station is allowed to let the queen's convoy enter.
　　 The carriage stopped at the entrance of the ticket hall.
Ren, Akaland, and Amelis got out of the car, and the crowd surrounded by the blood guards who were separated by the blood guards squatted on their knees. Someone shouted: "Meet Her Majesty the Queen. !"
The person in charge of Wangdu Station stands respectfully under the steps. He is a high-level mechanic transferred from the Empire by the Machinery Union. He is not only responsible for the management of Wangdu Station, but also the general manager of the railway company. He has very rich transportation management. experience.
　　 The mechanic led several main managers of the railway company and said, "See the queen."
　　 Then he greeted Ren and Akaland, "My Lord Duke, Your Excellency Vice President."
　　 "Thanks for your hard work."
　　 Emilys has been a queen for a few years. This kind of scene has long been accustomed to her. After smiling, she waved to the people around her, and was crowded into the station hall.
The crowd in the hall was separated by the Blood Guard with Scales. The mechanic accompanied Amilys and the group to visit the entire station, strolled around the railway company upstairs, and finally returned to the platform, a new train The steam train stopped on the track, waiting to depart.
　　The iron skin of the steam train's shell is painted in a striking green color. People who see it for the first time will find it a little strange, but after a long time, it feels very comfortable.
　　 Actually, this is a strong request from Renn.
Most of the twelve carriages of the 　　 train are already full of passengers, and only the luxurious carriage at the end is still empty, which is reserved for Rennes and Akaland.
After a solemn ceremony presided over by the queen herself, Rennes and Akalander waved goodbye to Emilys. The two boarded the train. The train made a deafening siren, and white smoke rose from the top. With the curious eyes of the people in the royal capital, they slowly drove out of the platform.
　　 woo woo woo!
　　 Besides, besides...
　　 The rhythmic sound of friction between the wheels and the rails made Renne familiar and brought back memories of his previous life. The train ran very smoothly, and the speed slowly picked up, and soon after leaving Kingsland far behind, it moved quickly along the rails.
　　 Ryan looked at the scenery passing by the window, and visually observed that the speed of the steam train was about 80 kilometers per hour, which was the same as the speed of the imperial train.
　　 The speed is just right. If it is faster, there is a risk, and too much ash coal will be consumed; if it slows down, the utilization rate of the railway will be too low and the transportation potential will not be fully realized.
"how is it?"
　　 Akalander, who was sitting opposite, took a sip of the black tea delivered by the flight attendant. He stretched out comfortably on the soft sofa, and asked in a relaxed manner: "Is the Duke satisfied?"
　　 "Very good!" Ren nodded, expressing his satisfaction.
　　 The Mechanic Union’s cooperation over the past few years has indeed spared no effort, but this also made him more suspicious of the Mechanic Union’s motives.
　　 "Slowly enjoy the scenery along the way, I want to sleep." Akalander stretched his waist, "Wake me up when you arrive at Longji City."
　　 After speaking, he fell asleep soon.
　　 However, the Eye of Soul saw that Akalander had not really gone to sleep, and his soul fluctuated very actively, obviously pretending to sleep.
"This guy……"
　　 Reyne snorted, presumably Akalander was afraid of asking him something he shouldn't ask, so he had to rely on pretending to sleep to escape.
　　 Forget it, if there are advantages, the purpose of the mechanical union will be exposed sooner or later.
　　 The first phase of the Shuanglong Railway takes less than 400 miles and passes through four stations. The first three are in the territory of the Zhuo Gengbao Principality. Each station stops for about ten minutes to allow passengers to board and board. After more than three hours, the steam train finally entered the territory of the Principality of Augustus, and soon the scenery outside the window changed.
　　 The large tracts of cultivated farmland have been neatly planned, and the crops grown are the same, which is pleasing to the eye from a distance.
　　 There are not many farmers working in the farmland.
　　Half of them drove steam-powered machinery and farm tools, like simplified modified cars, doing sowing, fertilizing, and mowing. The work efficiency of one person can exceed dozens or even hundreds of people.
　　 When the train passed by, these farmers would also cast their eyes, but they weren't as surprised as the farmers of the Zhuo Gengbao Principality. They looked at them and continued their work. They seemed to be used to it.
　　The front is getting closer and closer to Stream City, and the villages and towns on both sides of the railway are getting denser.
Gradually, you can see the smoothly paved roads, and various types of motorcycles are running on the road, there are two-wheeled and three-wheeled ones, and occasionally you can see four-wheeled cars carrying loads of goods, going back and forth. In cities and suburbs.
　　 Before the train entered the city, one could see huge chimneys rising from a distance, expelling white smoke and water vapor into the sky.
　　 These are all factories under the name of Rennes, managed by the city hall, and roughly a dozen. UU reading www.uukanshu.cóm
The walls of 　　 Creek City were demolished in three years, and the steam train drove directly into the station in the city. When it stopped, Rennes saw the crowds outside.
　　 The wide street has been rebuilt and can accommodate six cars in parallel. The street is clean and tidy, and it is cleaned at all times. The pedestrians on the road hurriedly walked, everyone has his own job, their clothes are much neater and thicker than the people of other principalities, their faces are ruddy, and they look full when tired.
　　 Not far away, in the temple school of the goddess of magic, there was the sound of students reading and literacy.
　　 There are construction sites everywhere in the city. Schools, factories, and residential buildings are newly built. When they are completed, they can accommodate more people and attract people from the countryside to live in the city.
　　 The whole city is full of vitality.
　　 If someone left Creek City three years ago, and now they come back, they can hardly recognize this city not far from the sea but always very poor, and it would not be enough to describe it.
　　 The same changes are not only happening in Stream City. The seven cities of Augustus are all developing with each passing day, but the degree is different.
　　 The guard at Xiliu Station recognized Ren in the car, with a look of excitement, he hurried to inform the mayor.
　　 However, when the mayor arrived, he only saw the tail smoke from the train, he couldn't help but thumped his chest, only hated that he could not send spells, and missed the great opportunity to report face to face with Lord Duke.
　　 The steam train continued to travel for nearly an hour and arrived at the terminal of the trip-Longji City.
