Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 1228 Coal Rail Car
On the morning of August 8th in the seventh year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Su Yan had breakfast with the Shacheng City Lord in the Shacheng City Lord's Mansion, and then left Shacheng with 10 fifth-rank court guards and headed for the coal mine about 10 kilometers southeast of Shacheng .

This is the earliest coal mine discovered in Yi Gong's territory, and it is also the first coal mine to be developed.

Shacheng is already crowded with people, and there is no way for horses to walk, so although there is a distance of 15 kilometers, Qu Mao and Su Yan decided to go there on foot instead of riding horses.

With the addition of game attributes, even if it is 15 kilometers on foot, it will take no more than an hour.

As for the fatigue caused by walking, with Qu Mao's current level of 108 and Su Yan's level of 99, the fatigue caused by walking for 15 kilometers can be completely ignored.

A group of 12 people walked halfway, passing the small stream outside Shacheng, Qu Mao stopped by the reservoir.

A 100-meter-square reservoir has been excavated on the edge of the current creek. The water surface in the reservoir is still more than two meters away from the top of the pond. As for how deep the reservoir has been dug?Qu Mao didn't quite understand.

I asked a random passer-by, but unfortunately, most of the passers-by around Shacheng are migrant workers who have recently come to Shacheng, and they don't know how deep the reservoir has been dug.

These residents who come to Shacheng to work have not moved their household registrations to Shacheng. They mainly rent and work to earn money in Shacheng. Once there are not enough jobs in Shacheng in the future, or they are unwilling to continue to make money in Shacheng, they will definitely return. He was recuperating in his original place of residence, so he didn't get an answer even after asking a few people.

Su Yan comforted Qu Mao and said, "My lord, this subordinate has already recorded this question. Go back to Shacheng and ask the city lord to know the answer."

Qu Mao nodded and said, "Su Yan, I suggested digging this reservoir, but now it seems to be much bigger.

The reason why I want to know the depth of the excavation of the reservoir is mainly because I am worried that this small stream and reservoir near Shacheng will not be able to meet the water demand of the coal industry and metallurgical industry around Shacheng, not to mention that there are so many people Need to drink.

When the town group was being built in Shacheng, I surveyed it several times, and found that there was only one source of water, the stream, and it was difficult to meet the needs of the town group in Shacheng. I don't know how they deal with it now.

It seems that in the future, I have to suggest that the Shacheng city owner should seriously consider the reality that the Shacheng town group is located on the edge of the desert, and should effectively improve the surrounding environment through tree planting and other means, and accumulate fresh water sources..."

Su Yan nodded and said, "My lord, this suggestion of yours has been written down by the subordinates, and we will tell the Shacheng City Lord together when the time comes."

The 12 people continued to move forward, but before reaching the coal mine area, Qu Mao stopped his footsteps again about five kilometers away from the coal mine.

The scene in front of him caused a familiar feeling of happiness in his heart to hit Qu Mao's chest desperately. Qu Mao couldn't help but walked forward a few steps in a gaffe, until 10 of the 8 fifth-level palace guards were tight-knit. After rushing forward to protect Qu Mao, Qu Mao realized that he might have lost his composure.

This also made Qu Mao realize that he was fighting for hegemony in the mainland after all. Even if he saw the railway or railroad tracks in another world, it would not change the fact that he was in the mainland.

But seeing the railway tracks in the Continent for Hegemony, it is obviously a product of another world, which made Qu Mao feel a little excited and lost his composure. It has been six or seven years since he came to the Continent for Hegemony, and this is the first time that Qu Mao has been in the Continent The wilderness has discovered something from another world.

Yes, that's right, it's the rails. Two rails lie on a sleeper every six months, which is completely the same as the rails in another world.

It's a pity that Qu Mao hadn't come to the railway track yet, a staff member stopped Qu Mao, saluted and said, "My lord, there are coal cars passing through the area ahead, there will be coal cars passing by from time to time, in order to avoid accidents, please stop .”

Qu Mao stopped and looked around, only to find that almost every 20 meters there was a guard standing on both sides of the railroad tracks, preventing residents who tried to approach the railroad tracks.

Qu Mao pointed to the railway track and asked knowingly, "What is this?"

The staff member who stopped Qu Mao said: "My lord, this is the track on which the coal car travels. It was designed by Tianyou engineer, a graduate of Nakashima Engineering University, based on the idea of ​​steam trains and railways that you mentioned, my lord.

Tianyou engineer took the initiative to work in the coal mine after graduation. He couldn't bear the coal miners to use the back basket to send the mined coal to the coal preparation plant, so he laid this section of 7 kilometers long railway track and designed the corresponding coal car.

With this rail coal car, the efficiency of coal transportation in the coal mine has been greatly improved, saving a total of no less than 1000 people/day of labor, and the efficiency has been greatly improved.

After the Tianyou engineer laid the rail coal car line, the Minister of Science and Technology, Mr. Zhong Mou, personally recalled Tianyou and hired Tianyou to be a lecturer at Zhongdao Engineering University, not a teaching assistant. He returned to the school as a lecturer less than a year after graduation. "

Qu Mao nodded and said with a smile: "It is indeed worthy of encouragement and reward to make such a big innovation with just a few words of mine.

Now the coal car is not coming, please allow me to step forward and take a closer look at the rails. "

The staff member was a little embarrassed, Su Yan stepped forward and said: "It's okay, there are guards here, you don't have to worry about the safety of adults."

Only then did the staff member let it go.

Qu Mao approached the railroad tracks, carefully looked at the two polished railroad rails and the sleepers in the middle of the railroad tracks, couldn't help but marvel at them, and was full of enthusiasm for the steam engine project that Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng were in charge of in the Outlying Island Power Research Institute. more eagerly awaited.

If several horizontal and vertical railways were laid on the Eastern Continent, and under the transport of steam trains, I would have to inspect various independent territories on the entire Eastern Continent, and I would definitely not be so hard and exhausted as I am now.

With the coal rail car project, Qu Mao felt that his trip to the coal mine today would be worthwhile, and the development of the Shacheng Coal Mine would not disappoint him.

The facts are indeed as Qu Mao thought. The current coal mining in Shacheng is basically open-pit coal mining, and there will be no particularly large risks. Although the utilization efficiency of raw coal is lower, at least it is promoting the development of Yigong Territory. .

At first glance, the coal mining in Shacheng is almost the same as Qu Mao's impression of coal mining in another world.

The entire coal mining industry can be regarded as one of the core pillars driving the economic development of the entire Shacheng region. After seeing the coal mines, Qu Mao became more determined to use Shacheng as a demonstration site for industrialized towns in the Yigong Territory.
