From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

"Yes!" Zhan Yan led the way and introduced as he walked: "The factory in front is the train research and assembly workshop."

"The factory is about 160 meters long and 50 meters wide, covering an area of ​​about 1 square meters. There is a section of railroad about 100 meters long inside, which is connected to the 3-kilometer-long test railroad outside the factory."

"The factory includes boiler production workshops, cylinder production workshops, gear and transmission shaft production workshops..."

After entering the factory, Xia Jieren and others visited it one by one.

The beauty of machinery is breathtaking!

Litte looked on in silence, the shock in her heart evident in her words.

Finally arrived at the train assembly workshop.

At this time, a fully assembled steam train was quietly hovering on the rails like a black dragon.

Its appearance is huge and solid, and its whole body is painted with black paint. Under the light, it reflects a mysterious luster and has a unique beauty and power.

The moment they saw it, Xia Jieren and Litte couldn't help but step forward and gently touch the car body with their hands.

"Can I try it?"

Xia Jieren asked expectantly.

Litte was also eager to try.

"Of course!" Zhan Yan replied affirmatively: "We have tested it many times and can ensure that the steam train is foolproof."

"In that case, let me experience it!"

Xia Jieren said decisively, then he took a few steps and took Litte into the car.

Originally he wanted to go into the cab to take a look, but it was too narrow and could only accommodate four or five people.

However, the train operator's actions can be clearly seen through the window glass in the carriage.

"Woo~woo~"

The train whistle blew.

After a while.

"Kang Dang~Kang Dang~"

The train started slowly and then gradually accelerated.

White steam comes out of the black chimney on the top of the train, which diffuses in the air, forming a unique landscape of the steam train, as if showing people its power and vitality.

In the cab at the front of the train, drivers skillfully operate various equipment to keep the train running.

"The train has a maximum speed of 80km/h to 100km/h and a maximum load of 500 tons."

"When fully loaded, the maximum speed is 80km/h."

Xia Jieren listened quietly to Zhan Yan's introduction and enjoyed the wind blowing in from the window.

The wind was quite strong, ruffling Litte's hair.

But she didn't mind at all and laughed, "So fast!"

After going around a few hills, the train returned.

The train does not carry much fuel and cannot sustain long-term travel.

After the train is put into operation, the first carriage connected to the front of the train will be filled with source liquid, leaving only an aisle for people to walk.

This ensures that the train can continue to run for a long time.

After the experience, Xia Jieren and others got off the train.

Litte's cheeks were unusually rosy due to excitement, and the smile on her face did not diminish at all.

She even began to imagine a future where railways would cover the entire country.

Suddenly, she grabbed Xia Jieren's hands and said excitedly: "Build it! We must build the railway no matter how much it costs."

"Good! Good!"

Xia Jieren responded quickly, trying his best to comfort her: "Don't get too excited, it's not good for your health."

Litte took a few long breaths and tried her best to suppress her excitement.

"Don't worry, building a railway is not difficult. We can fully afford it with our current financial resources."

Xia Jieren comforted.

This is indeed the case. All heavy labor is borne by Zerg units, and ordinary workers are only responsible for some more delicate work.

With the cooperation of the two, the efficiency is still very high.

Although the amount of money spent is so high, it is all to stimulate domestic demand and drive the local economy.

If you really count it, it doesn't cost much at all.

After getting Xia Jieren's assurance, Litte was overjoyed.

After finishing the inspection of the train research department, Xia Jieren brought Litte to the weapons research department.

The head of the weapons research department is a young man named Mark.

He often wears a pair of black-framed glasses and has short, messy hair, looking very dignified.

"Master, please follow me!"

Mark first bowed respectfully, then led them into the weapons research department.

After a brief visit to the weapons research work, we came to the weapons testing area.

The weapons testing area is a wide playground with targets of different distances and sizes placed on it.

The targets were either riddled with bullet holes, or incomplete, or completely unrecognizable.

It seems to have been ravaged by hot weapons many times.

The weapons racks beside the playground were hung with a few types of hot weapons, including rifles, machine guns, mortars, artillery, grenades, etc.

Xia Jieren walked to the weapons rack and looked at the various types of weapons on it with expectant and eager eyes.

Then he picked up a rifle, weighed it, and said to himself, "Well, it's really not light!"

"This rifle is a Type 06 1 assault rifle. It weighs 3.4 kilograms, is 955 millimeters long, has a magazine capacity of 30 rounds, uses 7.62 millimeter caliber bullets, and has an effective range of 600 meters."

Mark explained incessantly.

Xia Jieren walked to the shooting area, fiddled with the rifle a few times, and asked shyly, "How do I use it?"

It was the first time he had touched a gun since he was born, and he felt a little excited.

"Hee hee~"

Seeing Xia Jieren looking a little embarrassed, Litte covered her mouth and laughed.

"Lit, can you use a gun?"

Hearing the laughter, Xia Jieren immediately turned his attention to Litte.

As expected, the smile on Litte's face froze.

After a while, she snorted softly and said stubbornly: "Humph! I will!"

Then he changed the subject and said, "But I will use the flintlock rifles that the army used to be equipped with."

Looking at the obviously more advanced gun in Xia Jieren's hand, Litte felt unconfident.

Xia Jieren smiled and did not dwell on this topic any further. Instead, he invited, "Would you like to come and learn from me how to use these advanced thermal weapons?"

"Yes!" Litte's face immediately showed an interested look and she nodded repeatedly.

At this time, Xia Jieren turned his gaze to Mark, who had remained silent, and said, "Please teach us how to use these weapons."

As he said that, he handed the rifle in his hand to Mark.

"my pleasure."

Mark agreed, took the rifle in his hand and demonstrated it directly.

As we all know, in addition to the advantages of long range and great power, thermal weapons also have another advantage that cannot be ignored - they are easy to use.

Even an elementary school student can easily hold a gun and shoot with just a few minutes of training.

Of course, whether one can withstand the recoil and whether one can hit the target is another matter.

But being able to shoot means that you already have some combat capabilities.

As for whether the shot will hit the target or not, that depends on God's will.

"It's easy!"

After reading it, Xia Jieren made a direct comment.

After taking the Type 06-1 assault rifle, Xia Jieren recalled Mark's actions in his mind and then imitated them directly.
