Chapter 250: Radio ticketing system, population bottleneck in Hongye City (6,000 words)

Another big event happened in Hongye City.

Although in Hongye City, big things happen from time to time, and yesterday came the legendary elves!

But for many civilians, this incident today is even bigger than the incident of the elves!

The elves are arranged in a specific place by the Lord of the City. As long as they do not take the initiative to come out, they are basically isolated from the world and have little relationship with the commoners for the time being.

And now this matter is closely related to everyone!

That's the train!

The word train, Zhang Feng did not deliberately hide it, many people knew it.

This is a form of transportation that is somewhat similar to a steam car, but very different—everyone who sees it says so.

But how, very few people know that the train has been in the factory and has not come out for a test drive.

They only know that this kind of train needs a special "train road" to go.

Today is the day for the test drive of the train and the day when the "train road" is open to traffic!

Logically speaking, this shouldn't cause such a big sensation. After all, it's just a car. Does Hongye City have any cars?

As for the issue of "train road", the entire Red Leaf City has been built with cement and concrete to build a smooth road, and there are some strange and magical roads. No one is surprised, after all, this is Red Leaf City.

So, in addition to these, there is only one thing that can make people sensational - price!

Although there are a lot of steam cars in Hongye City, there are a lot more people in Hongye City now, and there are only a few who can afford steam cars. Of course, except for buses, buses only operate in the city after all.

In fact, it doesn't mean that you can't afford it, but most civilians feel that there is no need to spend so much money.

If you don't count the bus, the steam car going out of Hongye City can usually take eight passengers.

As for the ticket, the minimum starting point is one silver coin, and the upper limit is not capped, depending on the distance.

For most people, a silver coin is "heavy gold". Although their salary is much higher now, they were used to being poor before, so they have to save!

After all, if you take a carriage or an ox cart, you only need ten copper coins to start.

It's nothing more than a little slower speed, a little less comfort, and a little lower force.

And this kind of train, I heard that it can go very far, the starting price is only ten copper coins!

Although there are some restrictions, such as only a specific station can get off the bus, other times do not stop, and for example, buy a ticket in advance, leave on time, not wait when it is out of date, even if there is a ticket, etc., but for most people, As long as the price is cheap enough, nothing else matters!

If you can get on such a cheap car, even a civilian can go to other places in the extreme north!

Many people may have lived in a small town all their lives, even their ancestors have been there for generations. It's not that they don't want to go out, but they don't have the money to go out!

Going for a long trip?

For them, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an extravagant hope.

Therefore, when I heard that this "civilian train" was about to be put into operation, the news spread quickly in Hongye City, and countless people wanted to join in the fun to see if the train was as fast as it was rumored. Low, safe and stable.

Zhang Feng had already anticipated this situation.

The location where the Hongye Railway Station was built is very empty, so there is no need to worry about crowding and trampling. It is enough for everyone to watch.

However, Zhang Feng also stipulated that people cannot go to some places, such as on the railway tracks, and safety awareness must be cultivated in advance.

"Wow! This is a train! It looks so strange!"

"So long, so big!"

"I finally understand why the train can take dozens or even hundreds of people. It turns out that it is because it is very long. I thought it would be like 'Hongye Steam No. 1'..."

"Hey, look, does this train have two heads?"

"It seems so, why is that? Is it possible to run backwards?"

"…"

Residents in the distance saw the train stopping outside the train station and discussed it with great curiosity.

Mouse Daqiang cleared his throat, beckoned to the driver on the train, and then shouted:

"The route from Hongye Railway Station to Yunhai Railway Station is open! The 'Pu 001' train is open to traffic - start!"

woo-

The whistle let out a piercing shriek, and a great deal of steam spewed out, and the wheels whirled.

"Move, move!"

"What a loud voice, I like it!"

"…"

Under the expectation of everyone, the train slowly disappeared in front of everyone in a puff of white smoke, leaving only the strange railway tracks for everyone to comment on.

"So it's called a railroad track..."

"Wow, it turns out that the wheels of the train are stuck on the rails. It's amazing! But... in this case, won't the train derail?"

"Cut, this is designed by the Lord of the City. The Lord of the City must have thought of the problem you mentioned, and the Lord must have a solution!"

"Yes, after all, it is the Lord of the City..."

"…"

Erica smiled and said to Zhang Feng:

"Lord City Lord, everyone is praising you!"

"Damn, I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants! It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning!"

Zhang Feng is very modest.

"Giants? What giants? Are there giants in the world? Why are you standing on their shoulders?"

Erica asked curiously.

"Where did you come from so many questions, go home!"

Zhang Feng knocked her angrily.

Erica bowed her head and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, but she was still curious about the giant's question.

"Da Qiang, I'll leave it to you here. Don't let anything go wrong. When the train comes back, you can just report it to me."

Zhang Feng patted the mouse on the shoulder and said.

"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!"

Rat Daqiang quickly guaranteed it.

Zhang Feng left in a special car, but the people did not leave. They were still very curious about the train, and even those who were relatively idle were going to stay here and see when the train came back.

Time flies, three days later at noon.

woo-

Although a loud whistle sounded, the train that people were thinking about, finally came back!

"Go home, the train is back!"

"Finally back, it's not in vain for me to wait so long!"

The inspectors in the car showed the data on the way to the mouse.

"Very good, there is basically no problem. Some small errors are within the range allowed by the Lord of the City. Tell everyone that the train needs to rest for a day. If there is no problem, the ticket sales will start tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

After speaking, Daqiang didn't care about being excited, he quickly sent the report to Zhang Feng.

At this time, Zhang Feng was playing golf in Yueyin Village.

Yueyin Village was naturally the name he gave, in order to give these elves a spiritual sustenance.

In fact, Zhang Feng thinks too much, and the World Tree of the Moon Shadow Elf's house can also be moved, so they often change places, they don't miss their hometown, they just miss the World Tree.

Because the place divided for them is big enough, and the elves like nature, so in just two or three days, this is a place full of vitality.

Zhang Feng, who had a rare rest, brought a "noble sport" - golf.

Not to mention, in the green grass, blowing a suitable breeze, posing in a handsome posture, when you gently swing, it really feels very good.

But only this time.

After telling the elves and the beast-eared girls about the rules, Zhang Feng had nothing to do.

"Don't play, don't play, just play!"

Zhang Feng angrily handed the club to the happy cat-ear girl.

"Thank you master!"

Seeing the girls accurately hit the ball into the hole, Zhang Feng, who was sitting on the reclining chair, had a lifeless expression on his face.

If it is a game based on IQ, Zhang Feng can kill the Quartet because of the reasons they are not familiar with, but for this kind of game that requires physical fitness, Zhang Feng can't compare with them, and Zhang Feng is also a good player. Half-heartedly, he has now completely become a background board.

Even the cat-eared girl who just got started is much stronger than him.

"Lord City Lord, this is the trial operation."

Mouse Daqiang trotted over and handed the document to Zhang Feng.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Zhang Feng turned around, there was no big problem, he raised his head and asked again.

"What about the situation in Yunhai City?"

"Reporting to your lord, the craftsmen all complimented your master's design drawings, saying that they have never seen such a big ship in their life... Our pier has been built, and everyone is ready, now we are missing some materials. , as long as the materials are in place, the construction of the big ship can begin at any time!"

At the same time as the rat was flattering, he also told the report completely.

"good!"

Zhang Feng nodded and said to Erica who was grinding coffee next to him:

"Erica, you go to the factory and grant the materials to Cloud Sea City, and the construction of the big ship can begin."

"Yes!"

After the two left, Zhang Feng was looking forward to it. He didn't know how long it would take to build this kind of steamboat. He poached all the famous craftsmen in the extreme north at a high price. With the assistance of orcs and steam engines, I believe Shouldn't be very slow.

the next day.

Hongye Railway Station.

The crowd was full of people.

There are even many people who bring their families with them. They have no other meaning, just want to feel what it is like to take the train.

"Everyone, don't crowd, queue up in order, there are many seats!"

The sheriffs kept order.

Everyone obviously didn't quite believe what the sheriff said.

The current Red Leaf City is just before the crops mature. At this time, everyone is generally relatively idle. Just like now, in order to take this super cheap train, hundreds of people gathered at the gate of the train station, not to mention those who on the road.

There are definitely not enough trains in those locations!

But if you don't believe it or not, no one dares to refute it.

It wasn't until they bought the tickets that they spoke in surprise:

"Why is the fifth car shown on me? If I remember correctly, there is no fifth car in this 'Pu001'? Is it possible that I am sitting in the other front?"

"Uh... According to what you said, my ticket for No. 6 car is to sit on the roof?"

"Car No. 8 is crying and fainting at the bottom of the car..."

"…"

In the face of everyone's discussion, a staff member immediately came out and explained:

"Because it was a trial operation last time, there were only three carriages. Now it is officially in operation, and there are currently ten carriages!"

"Can it even increase?"

"It turns out that, then from this perspective, the license plate is indeed enough!"

"…"

"But I don't want the number eight, I want the number three, okay? I like the number three!"

Someone asked.

"Of course, you can choose to refund or change the ticket, but if you want to choose the third car, you need to pay extra."

"Why?"

"Because there are ordinary seats after No. 4, and No. 4 is a dining car, you can come here to order food, No. 3 and No. 2 are second-class seats, and No. 1 is first-class, so the prices are different, first-class The price of the seat is the highest, and the price of the ordinary seat is the lowest. As for the difference between the various seats, there are instructions there, you can take a look."

Listening to the staff's words, everyone hurried to check the instructions.

The normal seat fare starts with ten copper coins, the second-class seat starts with a silver coin, and the first-class seat starts with an amazing gold coin!

The reason why it is so expensive is because the number of passengers and services are different.

Ordinary carriages can take about 100 people, one per person, and there are certain regulations on the size of each person's salute.

The second-class compartment can take about fifty people. There is no single-seat, or a small box for four or six people, which can effectively isolate the noise, have its own privacy space, and even sleep, and the restaurant will provide certain Fruit snacks.

The first-class carriages only sold ten tickets.

Everyone has a lot of space, and everything in it, including food, is provided by a special person, and there is no need to pay extra.

As for why only ten tickets are sold instead of ten people, it is because this ticket can bring people up, after all, there is a lot of space inside.

In addition to the owner, a ticket can bring two additional people without paying any more.

There are not many introductions to the carriage, and many things are unclear, so you can only experience it yourself.

For this first-class carriage, although everyone wants to sit, the price is too expensive. If you go to Yunhai City, the price is unbelievable!

"No one should buy such an expensive ticket, right?"

Someone spoke.

"There must be no one... Few people buy it!"

The other person wanted to say that no one would buy it, but he was afraid of being slapped in the face, so he said that few people would buy it.

In the end, the fact was still in the face.

In less than two minutes, the ten most expensive tickets were sold out.

If it weren't for the manual operation of buying tickets, it is estimated that it will take less than three seconds!

Those who bought those tickets were all businessmen and nobles.

Everyone sighed enviously, but they were not discouraged. What if they had money, didn't they arrive with us?

Behind the ticket window, there is a small room with several large "iron boxes".

There are also red, green and green lines on the iron box, and some staff members are sitting in front of the iron box, making beeping sounds.

This is the radio, Zhang Feng got it from Hyundai.

This thing does not need satellites. It mainly uses ionospheric reflection to propagate, and the propagation distance surrounds the planet. In another world, this thing is definitely an artifact!

The train ticket needs to be connected to the Internet for special reasons, but there is no network here, so Zhang Feng can only use radio instead.

Compared to modern networks, this is definitely slow and even error-prone, but for the otherworld, it's pretty good now.

As soon as those passengers got off the bus, they would be surprised to see someone sitting in his seat.

Zhang Feng brought the radio thing very early, but it requires a learning process. Zhang Feng selected some elite backbones and taught them the method.

Now it finally comes in handy.

If it performs well in the train ticket system, Zhang Feng will be put into use in the entire North Pole.

Only then will he dare to say that he truly controls the extreme north!

But it's still early, Zhang Feng's next goal, in addition to building large ships, is to develop electricity.

The current radios all use batteries, which are enough for the radio, but for Zhang Feng, it is definitely not enough.

Not to mention too much, as long as the entire Hongye City can be powered on, Zhang Feng will be very satisfied.

However, Zhang Feng doesn't know much about electricity. He has to study it to see what is the most environmentally friendly and most economical way to generate electricity. It is not urgent.

three days later.

The profitability of the train has been calculated.

"There is only one thousand gold coins for a round trip, which is very little!"

Cat Erniang looked at the list, and said subconsciously, she has been in Hongye for a long time, and she can also use "only" to describe such a little "little money".

But seeing the speechless eyes of Zhang Feng and others, she handed it to Zhang Feng again embarrassedly.

"That's quite a lot. After all, it's not full, plus there's only one train, it's definitely not too high. But you have to think about it, if we open ten trains, or even twenty, fifty trains, One hundred cars, how much profit will we make?"

Zhang Feng tapped her little head and said.

"Looks like eh..."

Mao Erniang opened her mouth slightly, if there are 100 cars, doesn't it mean that in three days, there can be a gross profit of 100,000 gold coins!

God, is this a money grab!

Of course, she also knows that the account must not be calculated like this. There are also many factors, such as season, population and so on. But it still surprised her.

Not to mention the cat ear girl, it is other people, those who are used to seeing Zhang Feng's magic, are also surprised.

It seems that for Zhang Feng, making money is as simple as eating and drinking water, and you can make a lot of money by making something casually!

The train was running better than Zhang Feng expected.

Because there are not many people and the route is relatively simple, there are basically no mistakes.

On the railway from Yunhai City to Hongye City, many people came here.

The legend of Hongye City has long been spread in the extreme north. Almost no one wants to go to Hongye City to see it. However, due to the lack of money, they can't go too far. Now there are cheap trains. No matter how poor they are, they can afford it if they grit their teeth.

The flow of people in Hongye City ushered in a small increase.

At the same time, when the lords around the world were busy building roads, Zhang Feng made a two-pronged approach. Not only roads, but also railways began to be built on a large scale.

Although the extreme north is relatively cold and has relatively few resources, for Zhang Feng, there is also an advantage here, that is, the terrain is flat and there is nothing too rugged.

When building a road, almost nothing happened when encountering mountains and building bridges.

As long as Zhang Feng doesn't want to build roads and railways to the other side of the Sunset Mountains, he won't encounter too many problems.

Even if they meet, send a dozen or dozens of orcs over, what can't be solved?

Vigorously miracle!

And in this, the elves also helped a lot.

I have to say that the talent of the moon shadow elves to communicate with grass and trees is simply a bug.

For example, in a deep pit, Nora took out something and buried it on the ground, and then let the surrounding trees grow wildly. In less than a minute, the "natural" bridge built by the trees appeared in front of everyone.

Zhang Feng finally understood why the trees in Yueyin Village were all images of houses. This intuitive feeling opened his eyes.

Autumn leaves calendar, 1 year, late July.

Three more railways were repaired.

More concrete roads.

The combination of technology and the power of "magic" is hard to imagine.

The entire Far North has changed drastically.

When Zhang Feng was engaged in construction, he did not forget the younger brothers who supported him at the beginning.

Just a little bit of dew between the fingers is enough for them to eat for a long time.

In order to create the extreme northern place in his mind, Zhang Feng was not stingy, such as the railway station, which was funded by Zhang Feng.

After all, they were poor, and Zhang Feng understood, so Zhang Feng gave them a loan business.

The interest is not high, only twenty points.

This is already very low in another world.

Zhang Feng was willing to lend them money, which made them very grateful. After all, they are not stupid. As long as they have money, they will definitely invest in this 100% profitable business!

Taking this opportunity, Zhang Feng established a bank in another world - Hongye Bank.

However, the current bank has not been officially opened to the public, and only serves those lords for the time being.

When the right people are almost recruited, Hongye Bank will officially open to the public.

In July and August, the entire North Pole is very lively.

Because many roads were opened, the population of Hongye City ushered in the biggest explosion.

There were less than 2,000 humans and orcs combined before, but now it has grown to more than 9,000!

unprecedented!

But Zhang Feng was not too happy.

Because he felt that these populations seemed to have reached their limit.

Not the limit of Hongye City, but the limit of the extreme north.

Autumn leaves calendar, late August of 1 year. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

The crops planted around Hongye City have turned yellow, and the harvest season has come.

In the past, it was the time for every family to guard against horse thieves, but now, let alone Hongye City, the entire northern region has no such troubles.

Because horse thieves are a thing of the past.

Even if there are still some fish that slip through the net, they don't dare to act in an upright manner, otherwise they will be taught by the "Steam Car Corps" who arrive every minute.

Seeing those plump crops such as wheat and rice, the farmers all laughed and blossomed. This year's harvest is definitely much higher than any previous year!

Never worry about being hungry again!

The welfare given to them by the Lord of the City is a welfare after all. Only these real food can make them feel more at ease!

At the same time, thirty kilometers away from Yinsong City, the gateway to the extreme north, a large number of black figures appeared!
