Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

Pearl led the Wu siblings to the train station in Liming City. It was very lively with people coming and going. Before everyone entered the waiting station, they could only hear the whining sound inside, like a monster roaring.

Wu Wei had already put into a fighting stance and said: "What the hell did you bring us to, and what kind of monster was making the noise just now?"

But this sentence only made the people in the Republic of Japan laugh, as if the city people were looking at a country bumpkin.

"What are you laughing at?" Wu Wei became even more angry.

Wu Aoxue couldn't stand it any longer, so she said, "Can you please explain what the sound was just now?"

Pearl replied: "That's the sound of the train's whistle, which means it's about to slow down and enter the station. What we want to take you to is Vic City, an industrial city in the Republic of Japan. It is more than 80 kilometers away from Dawn City, so we need to Take this train there”

"What is a train? I heard you tell me, can this thing called a train cover these 80 kilometers very quickly?" Wu Aoxue asked.

"The train is a means of transportation invented by His Highness that can carry many people. It has the same purpose as a carriage, but it does not require horses to drag it, and it will not get tired, and it can carry far more people and goods than a carriage. "

"Then we are going to take the train to Vic City you mentioned?"

"Yes, we have arranged a special carriage for you, please come with us."

The Wu siblings followed Pearl and his entourage into the train station hall. Of course, this place is not as gorgeous as those stations in the 21st century. After all, there are not even electric lights. In order to make the light source sufficient, this place cannot be built too big, so this train To put it bluntly, the station has a roof, some seats are arranged, and several front desks are selling tickets. As long as you have a ticket, you can get on the train, but you still have to queue. Some people have to squeeze into the train station for two hours just to rush for time.

So this train station may be very simple, but after all, it is the first train station built by Rhett. It needs to be taller anyway, so he arranged for the police to patrol and maintain order. Littering and trashing are not allowed. Uncivilized behavior, this way the overall impression will be much better, otherwise dirty and messy facilities will look rustic no matter how good they are. He also posted some fluorescent substances in other places to enhance the look and feel. If you ask where the fluorescent substances come from, of course they are rubbed by hand.

Therefore, although the facilities of this train station are not very good, the overall impression is still very good. The two Wu siblings have been observing the surroundings. Pearl led them to a dedicated passage and arrived at the waiting station. The train arrived soon. , and at the same time there was a sharp whining sound.

Wu Wei looked at the long black monster rushing towards him and felt scared for the first time. In the Wu family, he is the young master, and all the servants around him surround him. Even if he gets into trouble, the family's big shots will help him solve it, and he has never been in any danger. But what is this? This oncoming sense of oppression is simply an unstoppable force, and anyone who stands in front of it will be crushed.

Wu Aoxue couldn't help but be shocked by the scenery in front of her, but she also thought of the book written by the Supreme Elder, which recorded a kind of track built of steel and wood, with a white dragon driving on it, several hundred meters long. Long, its head is a streamlined bullet head, and the whole thing is like a work of art. Although Wu Aoxue didn't know what a bullet was, and the thing in front of her was black and not good-looking at all, with black smoke spraying from its head. It wasn't a work of art. It looked like an extremely ugly monster. A whining scream was made.

But she saw that this monster was also traveling on a track made of steel and wood, and it was also very long. While the two were thinking, the train had already arrived in front of everyone. Pearl was the first to board the train, and then invited Wu The siblings came up, and after looking at each other, they decided to board the behemoth.

The train started moving shortly after taking our seats.

woohoo~

It only shook a little when it started. After that, the Wu siblings felt it was very smooth. Of course, this was for a carriage. Then someone brought them dessert. There was actually a special place for eating on the train. , it feels like the designer has considered everything.

Wu Aoxue couldn't help but ask: "How long will it take us to reach our destination?"

"About an hour and a half," Pearl replied.

One and a half hours, 80 kilometers only takes one and a half hours, and you can carry so many people and goods, this is simply...

However, his silly brother didn't seem to realize this yet. He just stared out the window blankly. Maybe their technology was really better than the Wu Group.

Both parties remained silent for the rest of the journey, with no communication until the train arrived at the station and the whistle sounded again, pulling everyone back from their thoughts.

When preparing to get off the car, Pearl gave the Wu siblings a mask and said, "The air here is polluted. If you feel uncomfortable, put this on your mouth."

Wu Wei didn't take it seriously at first, but when he went out and smelled the pungent smell, he couldn't help coughing and yelled: "Cough cough, you... cough cough... what the hell... cough cough... ghost place"

When Wu Aoxue saw her stupid brother coughing like this, she quickly put on a mask, but she could still smell the bad smell.

This was what early industrialization was like. Rhett was already working hard to improve the steam engine. After all, before oil was discovered, the steam engine would always be the driving force of industrialization.

Pearl said: "His Royal Highness said that this is inevitable pollution in the process of industrialization, and it will be much better in a few years."

"I don't know what industrialization you are talking about, but this scene really looks like hell." After Wu Aoxue finished speaking, he looked up at the polluted clouds in the sky.

"Let's go, take us to see your glass production place," Wu Aoxue continued.

"Then please follow me"

After Pearl finished speaking, they led them to a large factory. It was very noisy inside and you had to speak in a very loud voice. If Wu Aoxue hadn't turned her head away, she wouldn't have known that Pearl was talking to her, so she replied:

"What did you say?! Me! Listen! No! Come!"

"I said! I am not a technician! This master will show you around next!"

After speaking, Pearl pointed to a man in work clothes next to him, and then they followed the master's gestures, and Pearl followed behind. The first thing they saw was the huge furnace, where the raw materials were mixed with high temperature. It is heated to form a uniform bubble-free glass liquid, which is then poured into a crucible kiln and finally shaped by a machine.

After the whole process, the Wu siblings were dumbfounded. In the end, the glass was produced one by one like running water, and then packed into boxes by workers. It seemed that people without any experience could make glass, and Wu Group, it takes several years to train a glass craftsman.

Most of the cost is spent on training glass craftsmen, but the Republic of Sun has now directly omitted this step! That’s why their glass products are so cheap! They didn’t lose money! Seeing this, Wu Aoxue realized that the Wu Group had lost.
