Chapter 948: There Are No Restaurants Worth Rating
"So fast?" Mag looked at Hill in surprise. He only handed over the final blueprint to Hill before going to Luodu. It has only been half a month, and Hill has actually produced the first steam locomotive. , but also carried out preliminary debugging, which is simply amazing speed.
"We hope to open a line from Chaos City to Vic Ridge before the start of negotiations in three months, and complete the passage. If there are no problems in the test, the steam locomotive and rails will enter the mass production stage. The bank and the city lord's mansion They are very determined." Hill nodded with a smile.
Mag thought for a while, looked at Hill and shook his head slightly: "It takes three months to start from scratch, and to complete a section of hundreds of kilometers of railroad tracks to traffic, I'm afraid this is not an easy task. It is a big project, not to mention the terrain conditions required for the laying of rail tracks. Although I recognize the ability of the Santo Mansion and the financial resources of Buffett Bank, it is necessary for me to remind Ms. Hill that the railway is a project of people's livelihood, and whether it is safe or not depends on the train. The lives of all the people involved must not be too perfunctory just because of the deadline."
Although he doesn't understand politics, he probably understands why Hill is anxious to complete the opening of a section of the railway before the peace agreement negotiations start.
When it comes to a consortium of the size of Buffett Bank, the rise and fall of a consortium is not only determined by one country and one city, but stability and peace are the most important elements in the business of a bank. Once the Nolan Continent falls into total chaos due to the war, Buffett Qianzhuang is not far from collapse.
The city of chaos was born because of the peace after the war. If the war resumes, it will fall into a very embarrassing situation, and may even become the target of public criticism.
Although the strength of the city of chaos has continued to increase over the past century, it is still only a city and cannot compete with other races.
Moreover, the city of chaos established itself in peace, so naturally it does not want the war to resume, and the launch of steam locomotives is largely to hope that all ethnic groups can calm down and see the possibility of ethnic integration.
However, McGonagall is still an engineering man at his core. No matter what the capitalists and politicians think, steam locomotives not only carry freight, but also undertake the important task of basic passenger transportation. Safety is undoubtedly very important and cannot be sloppy.
Blair on the side looked at Mag and said seriously: "We all understand what Mr. McGonagall said, the opening to traffic in three months is the shortest construction period after repeated scrutiny and demonstration by our engineering department.
The direction from the east of Chaos City to Vick Ridge is basically a plain area, and the geology is stable, so the workload of laying the track will be much reduced.
Moreover, we recruited a large number of blacksmiths and fire magicians from multiple races, and used a large number of magic tools to set up a large number of rail manufacturing points along the railway to ensure the quantity and quality of the rails. "
As he spoke, Blair also took out several blueprints from the bag he carried with him, a topographic map of Chaos City in the direction of Wake Ridge, a planning map of the manufacturing site, and some problems that may be encountered in the laying of railroad tracks. Presets and Solutions.
Mag read those blueprints carefully, and only came to one conclusion in his heart: trench!
In his previous life, he was more or less a rich second generation, not a person who has never seen the world, but with his father's capital, building a highway is already the limit. It is impossible to use countless manpower and material resources like this. In less than three months, a railway can be built on the barren plain.
Fire magicians and dwarf blacksmiths are used as coolies... To this extent, apart from national wealth, it is hard for Mag to imagine that with the power of Buffett's bank and a consortium, he would dare to play like this.
If Hill is not out of his mind, it means that the richness of Buffett's bank is even more exaggerated than he imagined. The money network that spreads all over Nolan's continent brings unimaginable wealth to Buffett's bank.
Miss Hill, who sat across the way smiling, looked normal, so it was clearly the latter.
"Mr McGonagall,
Please believe in our determination and attitude towards doing things. Hill looked at Mag and said with a smile.
"It seems that Ms. Hill really values the steam locomotive project." Mag handed back the blueprint to Blair, and said with a complicated expression.
Hill is making a big gamble. If he loses, Buffett's bank may also be dragged into the abyss. This is not making a car.
"I believe that Mr. McGonagall's outstanding creation will bring great changes to the world." Hill took a deep look at Mag and said with a smile.
Mag looked away, smiled and said, "When does Miss Hill want me to visit the completed locomotive?"
"If it's convenient for Mr. McGonagall, you can go there now," Hill said.
Mag glanced at the clock on the wall, shook his head and said: "It may not be convenient now, I will soon be preparing for the business at noon, if possible, I can go there at one o'clock in the afternoon."
"Mr. McGonagall is really a good boss. I will send someone to pick you up at one o'clock in the afternoon." Hill stood up, nodded to Mag with a smile, turned and walked towards the door.
"Goodbye, Mr. McGonagall." Blair put away the drawings, shook hands with Mag again, and quickly followed Hill.
"Technology can really speed up when it meets a huge amount of money." Mag looked at Hill's back and sighed silently. With Hill's promotion, the world will probably enter the age of steam in a short time. Whether it is good or bad, McGonagall is still unclear.
After all, this is the world of sword and magic, and the experience on earth is not applicable.
But what is certain is that if the railway leading to Vic Ridge is actually opened to traffic in three months, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the upcoming peace negotiations. The city is bound, and has the opportunity to stand at the negotiating table with all ethnic groups.
...
"All the requirements from the engineering department have been met. Have the negotiations with the goblins at the city lord's mansion come to fruition?" Hill got into the carriage and looked at the secretary sitting across from him.
"The news just came back that the negotiations have been basically finalized. Based on the possible turmoil and the long-cherished wishes of the elves and forest trolls for many years, the goblins are willing to form an alliance with the city of chaos and open up various underground mineral resources. Jointly develop with Chaos City." The secretary nodded.
"Very good." Hill nodded, lifted a corner of the car curtain and glanced at Mamy's restaurant, "You come to pick up Mr. McGonagall to the construction site at one o'clock in the afternoon."
...
"The vegetarian dishes in the few restaurants I ate this morning disappointed me. There is no restaurant worthy of rating. I don't know what will happen to this one?" In the line outside Mamy's restaurant, a man with short gray hair lost his head meticulously. The middle-aged man looked at the signboard of Mamy Restaurant and whispered to himself.
