The successful construction of the first steam train will make civilizations in all worlds lively for a period of time in the future.

The Science and Technology Institute in Mirror City produced only one locomotive. As for the production of the carriages at the back, it was directly placed in the Western Region.

It's not that complicated. According to the craftsmanship of the dwarf blacksmiths, I think it can be easily done.

And by the time the locomotive is delivered there, the carriages at the back will have been completed long ago and can be put into use directly by then.

For this kind of big news that people want to read and that continues to arouse heated discussions, newspapers naturally follow the reports all the way and continue to maintain the popularity of this matter.

Of course, Luo Ji was very happy about this. By the way, he could also mention the newspaper's profit, which could be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

As time passed, and with the official launch of the steam train, the popularity of this matter officially reached its peak.

The train stations in Kaoling City and Clarion City in the west were surrounded by people who came to join in the fun.

In the end, even the garrison troops were dispatched, and order was finally maintained on the scene.

Leaving aside the experiments, this day was the first official launch of the steam train.

There were no ordinary passengers on this train. What was inside the carriage was a batch of supplies that were about to be sent to Gaoling City, and two infantry teams responsible for escorting the supplies.

To put it simply, it is to be shown to the public so that they can see with their own eyes that there is nothing wrong with this steam train.

After all, apart from being used to transport soldiers to the border during wartime, it certainly cannot remain idle on weekdays. That would be a waste of resources, so civilian use must also be carried out simultaneously.

There was no delay. After all the materials that needed to be transported were moved into the carriage, the door was closed. Soon, with a whistle of "Woo——", the steam engine running at high speed drove the entire steam train slowly.

Move slowly.

The speed was not fast at first, but for people of this era, just seeing this 'black steel monster' move was enough to cause them to exclaim.

The onlookers were so excited and shocked that they almost made a noise in the train station.

The steam train began to move faster and faster, and gradually accelerated after completely leaving the train station.

Shovel after shovel of coal was quickly fed into the boiler, and the chimney on the locomotive began to spout billowing smoke.

This scene was so shocking that countless people who could not squeeze into the train station at that time, so they went to the outside of the city to watch, watched it.

At the same time, Xu Xiang, a reporter from the Horn City newspaper who also failed to squeeze into the train station, was a blessing in disguise and took photos of this scene outside the city.

Unsurprisingly, this photo eventually appeared on the headlines of the current weekly newspaper, and suddenly triggered the popularity of "steam trains"!

In the following days, since there was no fighting on the border, the steam train was temporarily put into civilian use, which undoubtedly caused a wave of craze.

As soon as the ticket windows for the two cities of Gaoling City and Horn City opened, the train tickets for that day were sold out almost in a short time.

It is estimated that most of the people who buy tickets have nothing to do. They just want to take a ride on this so-called steam train to experience it, satisfy their curiosity, and gain some knowledge.

Anyway, a train ticket of fifty yuan a piece is not expensive.

This state lasted for about a week. After all the people who wanted to satisfy their curiosity came to sit there, the popularity of the train station began to drop significantly.

Of course, this is limited to Gaoling City and Horn City. The people in other cities are still shouting and discussing endlessly, and they are always restless when they don't get what they want. That's what they say.

At the same time, after stabilizing, the heat begins to decrease, which is also normal.

In the current era, steam trains will be used the most in the future. Apart from workers who go out to work and go home to visit relatives, there are only some businessmen who come out to discuss business.

However, Luo Ji was still satisfied with the situation. Things were going very smoothly. After receiving the latest report from the Western Region, he seemed to be in a pretty good mood these past two days.

And one month after the Western Steam Train was put into use, a middle-aged elf who looked quite young came to the outside of the Horn City.

The name of this elf is Wei Lun. He is now eight hundred and ninety-one years old. Among the elves, he can be regarded as an older elf who has passed middle age. The reason why he is in the Western Region is because of work.

He is an elf naturalist who is good at greening and improving the natural environment.

The desolation and barrenness of the Western Territory is obvious to all. Those stinky drunkards from the dwarves have no awareness of protecting nature, which is why the Western Territory is in such a mess.

It was precisely in order to improve the environment in the Western Region that Luo Ji specially transferred a team of elf naturalists here.

On this trip, Wei Lun came here undoubtedly for inspection. Only after confirming the situation could he continue his follow-up work.

However, as luck would have it, at this time, the steam train happened to be passing quickly on the railway track in the distance. The billowing smoke from the train chimney made the steam train look like it was lying on the track.

Wei Lun's brows frowned unconsciously as if he was a monster.

Wei Lun naturally knew about the existence of steam trains.

In recent months, each issue of the newspaper has sold at least tens of millions of copies. Unless he is isolated from the world, it is impossible not to know.

However, the black and white photo in the newspaper, which was not particularly clear, obviously had a different feeling from seeing it in person.

At this moment, looking at the steam train passing by quickly with billowing smoke, Wei Lun's eyes flashed with a trace of thought.

In the next few days, Wei Lun, who had always had a strong sense of responsibility, unexpectedly handed over all the inspection work to a few of his accompanying subordinates, while he ran to the train station and the train tracks outside the city for several days in a row, as if

I want to confirm something.

A month later, something unexpected happened. Over in the southern border, the railway and train station projects that were being constructed encountered strong protests from a large number of elven people. The entire project was abruptly interrupted. After that, the garrison troops and patrols

People from the team arrived one after another, but were unable to stop the situation.

In this way, an urgent report was sent all the way to Mirror City as quickly as possible.

Looking at the report in his hand, Luo Ji, who was sitting in the political hall, suddenly had a cloudy look on his face.

Luo Ji obviously didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

A group of elven naturalists headed by Wei Lun jointly launched a protest. They believed that the thick smoke emitted by the steam train would obviously pollute the natural environment of their elven forest, so they launched a protest against the project in the southern border.

At the same time, this approach quickly gained support from a large number of elves, and then the current situation emerged.

The update is sent, and I would like to thank my book friends ‘hllloguoll’, ‘Chiling’, ‘Xiluo’, ‘Wudaozi’, ‘Buried Love’, ‘Epithelial Tissue Skin Test’, and ‘Reverse Positive’ for their monthly votes!
Chapter completed!
