Chapter 238 238. Train
The fertile Longya Plain has always been a fertile land coveted by humans.
For centuries, few people had set foot there. Until the appearance of the cement fortress, under the organization of Hidan, the lord of East Guard City, three consecutive lines of defense were built.
The scope of human activities gradually expanded to the Longya Plain.
"Yes, if we continue like this, one day the Dragon Fang Plain will belong to humans."
Hidan used a telescope to spy on a slowly walking Tyrannosaurus Rex and waved his hand to signal.
With a dull thud, flames burst out from the muzzle of the steel heavy artillery. The next moment, a shell hit the torso of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
This giant beast weighing ten tons didn't even have the ability to resist and died instantly.
The soldiers cheered in unison.
In the past, this Tyrannosaurus Rex was almost unchallengeable. But now, in front of the new weapons provided by Fulinbao, it is just a steak to be slaughtered.
It can be described as vulnerable.
"Pay attention to the sky," Hidan reminded.
Soldiers and civilians ran towards the body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex in groups.
The meat of Tyrannosaurus Rex is average, a bit like stewed bird meat, with a sour taste of carnivorous animals. The taste of herbivorous dinosaurs is slightly better.
Hidan put on sunglasses and stared at the figure hovering in the sky under the glaring sunlight.
Any dragon species poses a great threat to humans, and the pterosaurs in the sky are even more of a killer of humans.
Because humans are small in size, they are perfect for hunting.
Any pterosaur that had such an idea met with a catastrophic disaster. During the advance on the Dragon Teeth Plain, no less than hundreds of pterosaurs had thoughts about humans, but none of them survived.
The sound of a gunshot is a death sentence!
The army of Donglin City also has 2,000 people, 1,000 of whom are equipped with first-generation firearms.
Obviously, the guns that were eliminated from Fulin Castle were directly transported here. When she first encountered this kind of weapon, Xidan didn't pay much attention to it. She thought that such a thin iron pipe could not be used to fight against dragon beasts. In the following months, she overturned her judgment again and again, and deeply realized the horror of the musket.
"City Lord!" The messenger interrupted Xidan's thoughts.
"Speak!"
"The cargo convoy from Fulinbao has arrived, bringing with it two hundred prisoners. The manager of the caravan said that these prisoners are pirates and hopes that we can receive them and keep them under control."
"Sure. I happen to have something dangerous to do here that needs someone to do it."
Xidan agreed readily.
Time quietly entered June, the hottest time of the year.
The climate this year seems to be a little strange again.
Specifically, the temperature difference has further widened, with the highest temperature during the day above 30 degrees and the lowest temperature at night below 5 degrees.
Sometimes it snows suddenly.
How strange!
Lovey found that he could no longer understand the weather in this strange world.
But no matter what, there is no need to panic. The food in the granary is enough for five years. The food in the space ring will hardly rot. I will inspect the progress of the railway construction every day.
With the concerted efforts of tens of thousands of people from various departments in the city, the track began to be extended at a rate of 500 meters per month.
Today, the railway has been built to the vicinity of the mausoleum area and is more than one kilometer long.
Although it is still a bit short, we can start testing the steam train.
The purpose of this move is to inform everyone of the purpose of building the railway to avoid endless speculation.
Each part of the train is very heavy and difficult to carry.
The people who do the transport are generally strong subhumans and orcs.
There is one locomotive and six or seven carriages in total. It is not very long.
As the train slowly started moving, people sitting in the carriage began to talk.
"This car can run on its own just by adding water?"
"Yes! Let me tell you it's very convenient. From now on, it will only take a few hours to get from Donggang City to Donglin City."
The one kilometer journey was very short. The train ran for a while and then slowly stopped.
Lowe's cabin descended to the ground.
Laudel's face was covered with sweat, and he thought that this car was going to suffocate people! With this demonstration, the workers' enthusiasm for building the railway soared.
The population problem that Lowe is most concerned about is also solved through various means.
Xiqi signed a contract with the fleet from the Central Continent, agreeing that they would use their population in exchange for the right of first refusal to purchase goods.
The population was naturally transported from the coastal cities.
The East Continent has a long coastline. The distance from Donggang City to Wanglong Port is only a few tenths of the total mileage of the coastline.
After passing Wanglong Port, we sailed for hundreds of miles and entered the territory of the Kingdom of Dongqi.
Continue sailing for thousands of miles and enter the territory of the Duchy of Milan.
It is a country famous for its wealth.
The living standards of the people are extremely high, almost comparable to those of the Magic Kingdom of France.
It is said that the Eternal Kingdom is behind this.
Due to the war with the Kingdom of Dongqi, the Duchy of Milan was dragged into the abyss of economic decline. A large number of people were displaced and one-fifth of the territory was lost.
"These fancy countries think they can do whatever they want just by relying on a name? It's ridiculous that a weak country without even a legendary strongman can become a principality."
Compared to the Principality of Sheen, which has two legends in charge, the Kingdom of Milan is much weaker.
The strong man riding on the back of the black dragon was covered in black steel armor, holding a spear in his hand, with only a pair of eyes exposed, looking down at him with a deep and condescending gaze.
In the cruel East Continent, the weak have no right to be rich.
The long spear surrounded by black flames pointed in the distance, and the hundred thousand troops moved at the news.
The people in the city were still resisting, but as the black dragon descended, it breathed out a breath that burned everything.
Everything collapsed. "Run!" "Someone come and save us!"
There were people fleeing everywhere, and looking down from a high place, they looked like a group of panicked ants.
The war created a large number of homeless refugees and displaced persons.
Inadvertently, it has become the cheapest and highest quality source of population.
Under the organization of some caring people, people boarded ships to seek refuge in Donggang City.
"That's right. These 10,000 people can be exchanged for 50,000 gold royals worth of supplies first."
The fully loaded fleet was sailing on the route to Donggang City, but another fleet had arrived ahead of it.
Under the gaze of a thousand city defense troops, the anxious refugees lined up on the beach. A rough estimate put the number at about three thousand.
Compared with the pirates, the eyes of these ordinary people are much purer.
"Master, how do we arrange for three thousand people?"
"First, we will apply for temporary household registration and arrange a place to stay. Those who have money can hire someone to build a house themselves. For those who don't have money, we will provide a small loan and then arrange a job."
Bruno was not there to deal with the incident.
Ever since he proposed the idea of retiring at the age of 100, he has intentionally or unintentionally handed over the tasks in his hands to some outstanding scholars. He secretly observes who has outstanding abilities and then decides who is more suitable to be given the position of consul.
