Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 629: Vaccines and new weapons
"Three, two, one, detonate!"
Boom--!
Under the control of the blasting engineer who had gradually mastered the charge, a small mountain was directly blown up to make way for the progress of the steel dragon.
The chief engineer who belongs to the "Binhai Railway Company" in the rear waved his hand:
"Continue construction!"
Hundreds of engineers rushed up with various tools in their hands.
The first site to start construction is a wilderness between Fort Lauderdale and Key West. Although it is mainly plain, it has various terrains along the way, including river valleys, hillsides, forests, and grasslands. ...
It is also for the railway workers to be familiar with the laying process and conduct large-scale military training.
At this time, in the construction team recruited by Binhai Railway Company, Anuma slaves and carefully selected freemen from the territory accounted for half of them, and some soldiers were recruited from the territory's army to be incorporated into the engineering team.
As long as the "Fort Lauderdale-Key West" section can be completed, there will be few places where they can be difficult to live in on the vast land along the coast.
There is also the "Mechanical Immortality School", an official wizard and three wizard apprentices take turns to supervise the work, and even if they encounter any problems, they can be resolved in time.
Furthermore, the "Georgia Corridor" was originally a single-track railway. There is only one main line in the transportation section, which is far less complicated than double-track or double-track railways.
Single track is not only for one-way driving, but also for two-way operation. However, in the same section or in the same block area, only one train is allowed to run at the same time, and the intersection of opposite trains and the overtaking of trains in the same direction must be carried out in the station or avoidance line.
In the current era when the territory's steam industry is just getting started, single-track railways are already sufficient to meet the territory's capacity requirements.
The construction period of the entire 368-kilometer Georgia Corridor is expected to be one year. After the infrastructure team is trained, the construction speed of the entire Falitis colony will only be faster.
Moreover, the Abayachi Mountains that run from north to south are rich in coal. Every station along the railway can provide sufficient fuel, and the logistics can be said to be stress-free.
Standing on a small hill not far away, Ivan nodded silently with his gem cane in his hand:
"My road to infrastructure madness is officially starting here."
He has received news that the first batch of Ilya refugees who arrived with the fleet has landed in St. Ivan. Combining the news they brought, it can be expected that there will be a large number of Ilya refugees in the future. New immigrants.
Many people even come here as contract slaves, and they desperately need a new job that can support their families.
These people should be enough to make this large-scale railway project land smoothly.
In this process, Aiwen will also use the first-mover advantage to formulate standards. Starting from the determination of the track width of 1435mm, the steam locomotive standards are consistent, and then it will seize the technical high ground in the field of railway transportation.
With this as a starting point, any area in the future using the "Binhai Railway Company" technology must follow their standards. Help Aiwen gain absolute right to speak in this industry, even a monopoly.
"This is the running track of a steam locomotive? Can this kind of creation be loaded more than a merchant ship, faster than a galloping horse?"
Beside Ivan, Anthony and Dilis looked at the hot construction site below, their eyes gleamed.
"Of course, you'll know after the completion of the project. In fact, this is one of the projects I plan to share with the Kingdom. The larger the basic market, the better the effect of boosting the economy, but I will Seen as a milestone in the steam industrial revolution!"
Ivan boasted without blushing.
Actually.
Since he entered the core of kingdom rights last year and Georgia was also on the kingdom’s arms supplier list, all the procedures for preparing for the rebellion have been very hasty and simple.
Now it is the kingdom that wants to accept the "Vulcan Metal Company" and enter the investigation process of the military and industrial production system dominated by the "Violet Eye". The results of the investigation will determine Vulcan's position in the kingdom's industrial chain.
In this framework system, set price and process standards, quickly handle international patents, initiate investment, mediate internal disputes, act as import and export agents, coordinate relations with governments of various countries... all kinds of functions are readily available.
Ivan has always been thinking long-term.
Industrialization can guide the direction by itself, but if the industry wants to take shape, it needs thousands of follow-up researchers and industrial workers to work together.
Those who want to take advantage of everything have absolutely no big future for development. Tulips are already at the forefront of the development of the steam industry. Since there is this kind of east wind, you are a fool if you don't borrow.
The technical team that has developed for decades, the gradually mature industrial workers, the supporting upstream and downstream industrial chain...including the huge consumer market, are all huge wealth.
At least in the New World, except for the Hilius who can dig gold directly from the soil, the consumption power of other regions is very moving. At least for dozens or hundreds of years, the position of the world center of the Old World will not be shaken.
Just as he once commented on "Ms. Crow", culture, system, and technology are just like heredity. Blind closure and xenophobia are inbreeding, which can lead to deformities and premature death.
The sea monster pointer, the alchemy bomb, the alchemy stone, the sniper rifle, the behemoth’s breath potion... and even the essence of many technologies of the "alchemy school"-[Legendary Battleship·Steam Fortress] are not small watch for.
Ivan will naturally not make such low-level mistakes.
Today, Anthony and Dilis are the early liaison personnel who came to represent the "Violet Eye" and "Alchemy Light". Because of their good personal relationship with Aiwen, they got the beautiful trip of this official trip.
It can also be said to be a honeymoon trip.
"Unexpectedly, I haven't seen you in a few years. Anthony has been successfully promoted to an official wizard. In the end, you two have come together. Your childhood sweethearts envy others."
Ivan sighed.
He still remembers that Dilis said before that she wanted to enhance her own value to resist the political marriage of the big family based solely on interests and the boring life of husband and wife.
But now after reaching the age of marriageable age, he still enters the marriage hall with the children of the big family like the established destiny.
It's just that the relationship between the childhood sweethearts is natural, although there is a marriage factor, they also have a meaningful relationship. At least the married life looks very harmonious, and there is nothing wrong with it.
The newlyweds looked at each other, smiled sweetly, and then Anthony solemnly saluted:
"Ivan, thank you also for entrusting me with part of the research and development of "sonar", plus the accumulation of sound knowledge in the previous "Song of the Sea Monster", in order to obtain groundbreaking results that satisfy the promotion."
In the three major branches of the "Alchemy School", you need to complete your own pioneering results when you are promoted to a formal wizard. Although the requirements are far less demanding than those of the upper wizards of the "living chemistry school", it is not something ordinary people can simply accomplish independently.
This kind of achievement, no matter how simple, is not as perfunctory as the utility model that Ivan could buy casually for two thousand dollars in his previous life.
Dilis, whose mental power has already reached the standard, is obviously stuck at this step.
The most direct consequence is that the official wizard Anthony has already had a long lifespan, while Dilis as an apprentice is still similar to a normal person. It doesn't take a hundred years, as long as the two people will be very different after a few decades.
"It's nothing. When we invented the'Song of the Sea Monster', we were working together to complete it. The distance from the'sonar' is only a flash of light. Maybe you can think of it sooner or later without my help. .
By the way, when you got married last year, I was on the battlefield and didn't care about other things. Now I just made up the gift for you. "
In the alchemy school, the eldest lady of the "Alchemy Light" guild Diris is the "potions" branch, and the eldest master Anthony of the Kramer family of the noble association is the "alchemy equipment and enchanting project" branch.
The Cramer family was an ancient family that took root there when "Newin Harbor" was still a noble fief. In essence, it was the leader of the Noble Alliance. Although it is not up to the fifty-nine seats in the parliament, but it is only below them.
And different from the Emore family, which has been out of the core of the kingdom's rights for a long time, the Cramer family, which has been working in the kingdom, has a complicated relationship. There are also several official wizards who belong to the "Violet Eye" with great potential.
With the vigorous development of the steam industry, the Alchemists (Mechanical Engineers) Guild "Alchemy Light" is the only subordinate power of wizards that can appear in the public eye and under the eyes of the church.
In itself, it represents the general trend and trend.
In the great revolution in productivity, the "Alchemy School" is only a pure R&D department. If you want to truly enter the millions of households, it is indispensable to transform from technology to products. This key step is the "Light of Alchemy". Work.
Although the Dilis family manages only the "alchemy light" within the Kingdom of Falitis, because of the kingdom’s leading position, its influence has been very impressive, and it has maintained close ties with guilds in other countries. Contact and cooperation.
The two are also considered winners in life with talents and beauty, and the relationship between them has always been good, and they have not been disconnected for several years.
Even with Aiwen's current status and strength, this relationship is worth his effort to continue to operate and maintain. In his opinion, friendship and interests are not conflicting, and it is more stable if there are contacts and contacts.
"Dilis, take a look at this first."
Ivan took out a bottle of "biological enzyme preparation" obtained through the analysis of [Secondary Anti-aging Drugs] and handed it to Diris, who was full of curiosity.
"It comes from a tiny substance produced by the metabolism of an extraordinary creature, which is smaller than the cells recognized by humans.
It can significantly enhance cell activity and delay aging, and as long as the body function begins to degenerate at the age of 35, continue to take this drug, which can completely extend the natural life expectancy by 30%! "
"This..."
Dilis' body shook slightly, feeling a door to a new world slowly opening to him.
In the past, the main raw materials for potion preparation ~IndoMTL.com~ are all plants and biological materials from nature. And this kind of research results of exploring the microcosm and discovering the mysteries of the human body made Dilis, a wizard apprentice in the "potions" branch, deeply fascinated by it.
"Although the main research direction of the current'potions' is'buffing', the fundamental purpose is still'treatment'. In addition to this life-prolonging medicine, I can also provide you with a research direction, the same It belongs to the field of biomedical products, that is-vaccines!"
Vaccines are autoimmune preparations made from pathogenic microorganisms (such as bacterial viruses, etc.) and their metabolites through artificial attenuation and inactivation methods to prevent infectious diseases.
If it can come out, it will inevitably be a landmark invention in modern medicine.
The two people are at a loss for this unfamiliar new term:
"Vaccine?"
Ivan smiled mysteriously at them:
"Let’s go, I’ll talk about it in the next day. It’s time to do business, you have come to the New World all the way back, let you see the new weapons developed by the'Vulcan Metal Company' first, and get a first-hand understanding of what is meant by it? Talk about martial arts!"
