At the end of two days of dreamland, the castle's grey slate roof was once again revealed to Roland. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He stretched out his hand, clenched his fists and opened them repeatedly, except for the absence of that strange heat flow, his every move was so consistent with the feeling in the dream world that if he wasn't able to use the fall to escape, he couldn't tell the difference between illusion and reality.

Can the brain really simulate it to this point?

Roland couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

Especially the "star cluster" that resembled a magical cyclone - he had never really seen magic before, and if the force of nature was modeled after magic, the dream should be blurred.

Plus the eerie Burnt Face Man, and the heat flow that resonates with the star cluster...... He suddenly became uncertain about the outcome of his previous inference.

I feel like I can't have such a complex and huge dream world in my mind.

If the dream isn't in the subconscious, then where is it?

After pondering for a long time, Roland could not come up with a satisfactory answer.

He shook his head and decided to put these things aside for now.

Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it at all, it's better to do the right thing first.

After taking Jeroth to the library, he borrowed a lot of useful design materials—some of which he could reproduce even if he just flipped through them.

One of the books also includes the proportions and properties of some commonly used alloys, which will undoubtedly save Anna and Lucia a time in testing.

In this way, the third generation of machines for creating higher-precision parts has been found.

Of course, the first batch of operators may have to be personally guided by him.

Roland was particularly excited to think that the people of the Grey Castle were converging to the west, and that those who had already settled down were passing the universal education assessment one after another, and that they were going to work in droves.

It's an ever-accelerating process, and he's now opened up the situation, and when the Grey Keep is unified next year, Neverwinter may have a chance to touch the threshold of the industrial age.

And once you enter the industrial age, this territory is bound to change dramatically.

In the afternoon, the Minister of Construction, Carl Van Burt, brought the news of the completion of Highway 67 - a road that was built much faster than the Kingdom Highway, and in addition to the shorter distance, the proficiency of the workers was also a key point.

According to the previous commitment, all the workers trained by the Ministry of Construction have been owned by the border areas.

"Your Majesty, if you don't have a new road plan, I'm going to send them all to the residential construction project," Carr said, "and although it will increase some of the salary expenses, the housing complex in Neverwinter is really in short supply. ”

Roland was also aware of the situation, and half of the nearly 5,000-strong construction team was busy building new neighborhoods to accommodate the large number of people that the town hall had brought in from all over the country. In just one year, the original town has more than tripled in size, not counting the newly reclaimed farmland south of the Chishui River.

"The road is not finished," he said, unfolding a map of the frontier and pointing to the northern slope of the mountain road, "I plan to build a railway from the mine to the wharf to load the coal from the west." ”

"Isn't there already a road here......," Carl paused, "you just said that...... Railroad?"

"That's right, railroads, or railroad tracks. Roland nodded, "It's like the rail transportation system in the mines, but it's all made of steel." ”

"I see," he pondered for a moment, "but it doesn't take many people. ”

If it's just a narrow hardened road, it really doesn't take much manpower, Roland smiled, not saying it explicitly. In fact, he knew that the Minister of Construction did not understand at all, that he was not thinking of the rudimentary means of transportation of the mines, which relied on twine, steam engines, or horses, or just to transport coal.

What he wanted was a train.

A vehicle that has revolutionized land transportation since its invention.

And this short-distance railway is an attempt.

The principle of the steam train is not complicated, but the railway system is a behemoth, and Roland does not know how many years of testing and improvement have taken from the invention to the actual use of the train and its supporting equipment, but it must be a long process.

Fortunately, these things can be found in the dream world.

As a symbol of industry, he seemed to be deeply infatuated with these behemoths.

No matter how heavy they carry, they always spew white mist and weave steadily through the jungle and mountains. The pitch-black linkage drives multiple wheels to turn, making a rhythmic sonorous sound that shortens the vast expanse of land to an acceptable range. No matter how much the power changes after that, its essence has always been the same.

Of course, hardware alone is not enough, and the train requires a large number of railway workers to drive it, which is undoubtedly much more complicated than simply operating a steam engine or a machine tool.

According to Roland's plan, the railroad connecting the North Slope Mountains to the docks was both a technical experiment and a training ground for the first generation of railroad workers.

"Let's use two hundred men to lay out the roadbed," Roland said, "and the route will go in the direction of the Hidden Forest, and go beyond the second wall." ”

Karl looked worried, "But Your Majesty...... This will leave your rails exposed to the attacks of the Beasts. ”

"They have no interest in steel, and I don't plan on finishing it before the Evil Moon comes," he said nonchalantly, "and for next year, we won't be hiding behind this low mud wall anymore." Don't you think the border areas are getting more and more crowded?"

"What do you mean ......"

"Expand into the Savage Lands, where the resources are no less than those in the Grey Castle," Roland pointed to the vast fertile region northwest of the Desperate Mountains, "If you want to fight the devil, you can't do it with a thin wall of earth. ”

If the War of the Divine Sense breaks out and the Devil drops a third obelisk on Tachira, the outpost may be approaching the foot of the Desperate Mountains. Defending the gap in the West was almost a sure lose, and the Mutual Aid Society was able to follow the mountain path into the Savage Lands, and they were able to infiltrate the heart of the Grey Keep in the same way.

Even if you don't take the mountain road, just a group of flying dinosaurs around the mountain peak, and it is uncomfortable enough to come to the rear every day to ride your face.

Only by turning the Desperate Mountains into a wall can you protect the kingdom.

Set up the fortress guns on various hills, and the range is Roland's new town.

There are no rivers in this area that connect to the interior, and the only way to quickly transport resources to the wilderness is by rail.

"Planning for the future is a big job, but I'm sure you can do it. ”

The inclusion of the Desperate Mountains in the realm of the kingdom sounds like a maze for any stonemason, and if such a city can be built, it will surely leave a name in history.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The Minister of Construction said excitedly.
