In a few days, another change occurred in Wujun.

Judging from the strategy set by Mo Feng, it is to first start with the railway tracks, and the railway tracks drive the construction of the road, which can reduce a large part of the cost.

Currently, only Shicheng is produced in iron ore. In the past few days, the first batch of rails and corresponding buckles of Shicheng Steel Plant have been manufactured. The more difficult thing is transportation. After all, the weight of steel is very heavy and inconvenient to transport.

It is unlikely to cross Wujun from Danyang, not to mention that with the road conditions at that time, it is a fantasy to transport it to Wujun by a trolley. Therefore, only water routes are feasible at present.

To this end, Mo Feng specially arranged thousands of craftsmen to rush to Danyang overnight to build a railway and build a railway to Niuzhu Wharf.

Only by building the railways to Niuzhu can these steel rails be transported to Wujun by water.

The stone city was just by the river, which was Ma'anshan in later generations. It was very close to the river bank. After detailed explanations and planning, countless workers opened the stones and then laid stones as a distribution buffer. Sleepers were placed on the stones first, and then the people carried the steel rails down on their shoulders and connected.

A group of people were left to repair the canal.

You should know that the construction of railway tracks is not difficult, and it is even simpler. As long as the steel meets the standards, it can even be used with wooden tracks, but the service life is limited.

During this period, some craftsmen from the Blacksmith Camp and the Craftsmen were not allowed to rest. Mo Feng was taking them to make the simplest human train.

The principle is very simple. Like a bicycle, manpower is used to drive the chain, and the chain drives the gears to drive the small trucks forward. Because the friction of the rails is very low, and there is not a lot of cargo currently being carried, it is possible to transport more manpower.

Mo Feng has small items such as iron chains, gears, wheel sets, etc., although not many, it is enough in the early stage.

For a time, many craftsmen in the Shicheng Blacksmith Camp began to build the car day and night. The carriages they built were not too big, about 1.8 meters wide and 4 meters long. It may take some effort to get the traction, but the manpower will be arranged. The start may be slower at that time, but the journey will still be very fast.

At this time, in the blacksmith camp.

As everyone cheered, the first iron car was released.

The carriage is very simple, just a box is surrounded by iron, and then a movable deck is made on both sides of the carriage, which is very convenient to unload. There is no shaft device installed under this carriage. The carriage with the shaft device is the next one and has been welded.

The additional shaft device is nothing more than a chain device that is more complicated at the bottom of the car. It also has an additional shaft to convert manpower into kinetic energy. Multiple sets of such devices will be built in this carriage, with the purpose of increasing kinetic energy.

Of course, this is just the current plan. When Mo Feng turns around, he will definitely have to get a coal-powered engine, otherwise it would be a fantasy to use train transportation.

The next morning, the first front of the car was released, with a pure rickshaw front.

Two cars were towing, and then the big men on the front of the car stepped on the pedal hard, feeling that the train was moving slowly. Although it was not fast, it was moving forward at a speed visible to the naked eye. This could be said to be a big step forward.

Mo Feng stared at himself, watching the rails being transported onto the front of the vehicle, and hundreds of them were transported at one time, which was very heavy. It was even said that it was difficult for those big men to push the front of the vehicle to push it. Then some big men took out ropes to pull it in front, and more than a dozen people were dragging it in front, while others stepped in the car.

Immediately afterwards, the giant made of iron slowly started to move again, like a giant beast with steel armor.

"Lord, this, this is really successful!" Xun Yu looked excited. In the past few days, he handed over the government affairs to Chen Gong for treatment. He accompanied Mo Fengquan to stay in Shicheng to seize the time to develop it.

Mo Feng nodded without much joy. He knew that the simplest device of bicycles, such as the late Han Dynasty, could not be made with the level of the late Han Dynasty. The reason why it was successful was due to the various objects he carried. Without these objects, even the simplest thing would be difficult to create.

At this time, Mo Feng looked at Li Xiu, who was responsible for the ironware, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Based on existing objects, we will take turns to create more cars and towing cars."

"No!" Li Xiu responded in a deep voice.

The construction of railways also requires stones, but this can be done using a small stone crusher brought by Mo Feng. As for sleepers, multiple sites can also be built for temporary construction, which can greatly reduce the construction time.

In this way, only railway tracks and some parts are needed to transport from Shicheng. Once the fifteen-mile railway is laid, you can use the railway to directly reach Niuzhu Wharf, and then use building ships and other secondary transportation to ship goods from Wujiang Wharf.

Mo Feng even wanted the ship to surround the near-shore from the estuary of Songjiang, so that he could almost reach Wuxian directly. However, it was very dangerous to do so. Although it was safe to drive near-shore, it would be difficult to survive once it hit the reef, and it would be less than worth the loss.

A few days later.

At this time, on Niuzhu Wharf.

Looking at the rolling river water and feeling the biting chill, Mo Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thousands of people were busy day by day and broke hundreds of straw ropes, and hundreds of injured people were injured in various aspects such as operations. However, at this time, the short-distance railway of more than ten miles was finally completed.

The construction of this railway completely revitalized the ore production area of ​​Shicheng. After that, various ores, steel, and even cement and stones can be transported directly to the Niuzhu River by using this railway, and then secondary transportation is carried out by freighter to Wujiang Wharf.

Looking back at the long two-way railway, Mo Feng couldn't help but feel a little proud. The symbolic significance of this railway is far stronger than his actual significance. The length of the railway line and the length of the highway line all represent the strength of a place. With the situation of the railway line, it can ensure logistics supply well.

In other words, in the future, Wujun will never worry about untimely supply of supplies and food in Wujun.

When he watched the strong men use the pulley set invented by Mo Feng to send rails into the building ship, Mo Feng nodded with relief. However, although the building ship is load-loading, it is not resistant to wear. He had to build a unique ship belonging to Wujun as soon as possible.

When sailing into the river, the goods were calculated in tens of thousands of stones. In short, everything in Wujun now needs to be overthrown.

Listening to the sound of water rushing on the river, Mo Feng felt a little tired. The construction was very tiring, especially the construction from scratch. Looking at it, although it was still winter, the men on the boat were all motivated.
Chapter completed!
