Chapter 807: Railway Plan

The magic cube stopped paying attention to the female Taoist priest and was now drawing a map based on the geographical three-dimensional images sent back by the high-altitude drone. This move was to improve the transportation capacity.

Wars need backup, and human commercial prosperity requires transportation. There is no need to waste transport planes flying around every day for various strategic materials. Moreover, unless the number of transport planes is large, it is difficult to take care of the overall situation. Therefore, a cheap, convenient and efficient transportation method must come to the fore, the railway.

Railway transportation is stable and efficient, with a large cargo capacity and fast speed, which is very convenient. Yes, after the increase of engineering robots and various siege equipment, the magic cube began to plan to build railways.

With Wanghai City as the center point, radiating to the mainland, it can be built along the coast to connect various cities, and it can also radiate to the inland of the zombie activity area to facilitate the transportation of military supplies. As long as the railway network is laid, various armored vehicles can be quickly transported to various regions to participate in the war, and the logistics can keep up. The war on the Shenwu Continent is not as large as the Earth. I am afraid that the territory of just a small corner can match the global land area of ​​the Earth. It is imperative to establish an efficient transportation network.

Inside the bridge, several monitors showed the railway lines of Yao Country and nearby areas.

Princess Junru led several newly promoted reformist officials to come up. The young male and female officials looked at everything in the destroyer with surprise, especially the projection monitors, which shocked them even more, a bit like bumpkins entering the Grand View Garden.

"Why did you ask me to bring people here? Could it be something shocking again?" Princess Junru asked with a twitch in her eyes. She was really frightened by the magic cube's decrees that would not stop until people were scared to death.

"I'll show you a video."

The magic cube tapped his fingers and projected a huge screen in front of everyone. The screen showed the busy transportation scene of the Dragon Country high-speed rail on Earth. Many passengers entered the train in an orderly manner. The train started and drove across the mountains, plains, bridges and rivers at a high speed to another city. People got off the train one after another. There were also freight railways pulling carriages full of goods to various places, crossing mountains and ridges to all parts of the country...

Princess Junru and others were attracted by the prosperous city and the train station, and were even more surprised by the clothes and order of those people. When the train left, they still couldn't recover. It was not until they saw the freight vehicles transporting various goods that they realized that they were huge steel monsters used for transportation...

Shocked, envious, eager, excited...

The magic cube didn't care about the performance of several people. These new reformist officials were not bad. At least they could accept high technology and envy them. At least they didn't accuse the people in the video of being unmannered like those pedantic people.

"This... Is this what you want to build for us? What's its name? When will it be completed?" Princess Junru asked anxiously. She knew what it meant when everyone could use convenient and fast transportation. The expansion of the road network over the past few months has increased the prosperity of Yao Country. After adding this efficient transportation, Yao Country will reach a higher level.

"The railway transportation system, you can simply call it a railway. It is efficient and fast. It is a classic mode of transportation. Our Mechanical Empire can be responsible for building the railway network, but the daily maintenance must be your responsibility. It is not the kind of equipment that can be used for ten thousand years. Someone must supervise and maintain it. We will provide training. You can use the transportation of passengers or goods to charge a small fee to maintain the operation of the railway. Remember, the fee must not be expensive, and don't greedily squeeze the money of those merchants and passengers. You may not understand it because you haven't studied economics, but you must listen to the advice. Once the mechanical soldiers find that any of you are greedily squeezing and using the railway to make money, I will kill him." The magic cube warned seriously.

At that time, several people felt a little nervous. When they saw the convenience and strong freight capacity of the railway, some people did want to take this opportunity to make money, but they had to suppress these thoughts after being warned by the magic cube.

"No problem. I don't know anything about railways. All railway work is handled by your Mechanical Empire. Just tell me what you need. Yao Country will fully support it." Princess Junru said seriously. She really knew that no one in the entire Shenwu Continent could afford to build and implement the railway.

"Okay, then let's take a look at the main operating routes of the railway system. Although there are railways, the road network cannot be abandoned. Railways are the main and roads are the auxiliary. Only in this way can we take care of every village, town and city. Don't ignore construction just because the place is small. In fact, those small places are the foundation of the people. I won't say much about this. Now let's take a look at the railway network I planned to see if you have anything to add."

After that, the magic cube used a high-altitude map to indicate the network along the railway. Among them, Wanghai City built a large railway station on the side of the mountain city, and at the same time connected to the port terminal. The coastal railway network passed through various cities. Except for the city of Yao Country, the zombie area heading inland was not displayed. Princess Junru and others naturally agreed, because they didn't know how to plan, and the magic cube did this just to take care of their face.

It took nearly two months to implement the detailed planning.

During the two months, the engineering robots planned every railway route in detail. The easiest job was relocation. The palace issued an order for all residents who needed to be relocated to move out directly without any delay.

The engineering robots drew the design drawings of each train station in detail. The characteristic is that they did not imitate the all-Western architecture of Dragon Country on Earth, but were built in the style of Shenwu Continent. Wanghai City Station was designed to be the largest, with a full classical style. Shenwu Continent has no shortage of minerals. The station building is mainly steel frame and wrapped with wood on the outside. The pavilions and towers are very beautiful.

When preparing to start construction, the road network built before played a huge role. A large number of engineering equipment were transported from factories to various places. Flatbed trucks pulled forklifts, excavators, cement mixers and other equipment to Wanghai City. Freight trucks transported steel components. Many small jobs also hired many Yao people to take charge. The eight-hour work system with daily wages and lunch provided inadvertently set a model for the Yao labor market.

There was a joke about hiring workers. In the past, the Shenwu Continent used free labor to build city walls and imperial mausoleums. Not only that, corruption at every link during the construction process led to the food distributed to the laborers being insufficient. A bowl of porridge was so clear that you could see a few grains of rice at the bottom of the bowl. Supervisors would beat people at any time, and no one cared about them even if they were exhausted. Therefore, whenever there was a project, ordinary people were always panicked and frightened, resulting in no one coming when the mechanical army issued a notice. Fortunately, there is no shortage of people who are the first to try. When a local person came to the construction site with the idea of ​​making a living and quickly earned the corresponding salary, more and more people came to the construction site to find work.

Now the first thing the Yao people say when they meet is whether you have worked on the railway construction site. The construction site does not need many workers, and many people sigh that they are late.
