Since I was reincarnated as a poor farmer in another world, I decided to lay bricks and build a castle - 1249 Railway passage

So, how about a magic train called the Alphonse Balkaline?

Yeah. Can you do it, Galius?

“Of course not.” This Vulcan steel mill is made from the finest flame ore to produce quality Vulcan steel on a daily basis. You can use it to create a vehicle that will amaze everyone. ”

“Thank you. For now, I’ll leave the design of the backbone to you.” I’m going to run based on this, but for the time being it’s mainly for cargo, and eventually it’s going to be a magic train that runs with people on board. ”

“Do you have to put people on it?” When that happens, you’ll have to be comfortable. If there is a shaking, it may be difficult to ride for a long time, and this may need to be studied unexpectedly. ”

“Yeah, you don’t have to do that just to make it work.” Anyway, it will be used to transport supplies by land at first, so I think the important thing is the appearance. I want you to look good and make people feel “awesome”. ”

“I understand, Master Alphonse.” I’ve been involved in a variety of monozukuri like this. Everyone who sees it with all their might will be impressed by the magic train. ”

I threw a whole round at Galius about the construction of the magic train.

The leading part is a driving vehicle, and the connected vehicle is pulled from behind.

The Vulcan line, where I was born, was already built and operational.

But at first, it seemed like it was quite a struggle.

The Engineering Department is made of Spirit Stones.

Like a magic weapon, the spirit stone has a magic circle built into it, and when you pour some magic power into it, parts made of hardened bricks appear.

And it can be manipulated at the user’s discretion.

Surprisingly, though, the operation required familiarity.

Number of connected vehicles behind.

The total weight of the train thereby fluctuates.

Moreover, depending on the slope of the terrain and the situation, we do not know how strong the engine section can be, unless we have a lot of experience with the speed of the train.

I did, too.

When I made a prototype of a magic iron ship, it was speeding up and down the Glue River many times.

However, Alphonse Vulcaline doesn’t need to worry about much of that.

It’s all under control.

It does not require the manipulator’s magic power, and it can automatically adjust the speed.

After all, Eye’s magic circle was used to control it.

Like the bracelets distributed in the church, you can always know the location of trains in operation, so you can calculate the speed.

So Galius’ job really was just to stick to the exterior.

But is it okay?

“What? What are you worried about, Galius?”

“No, Lord Alphonse, of course I know that, but the Magic Train Alphonse Balkaline that we’re about to build is very impressive, isn’t it?” Anyone who sees it should know. If that’s the case, then it doesn’t have to be that the bad guys don’t show up. ”

“That’s the biggest problem, isn’t it?” That’s why it’s within our sphere of influence to draw the tracks. ”

In addition to river transportation, supplies can be transported by land.

That’s very nice.

But that’s why there’s a problem.

We need to think about the train being targeted, like Galius.

The magic train itself was precious, and I couldn’t let my luggage get stolen.

Besides, there are other things that bother me.

What if something is placed on the tracks that might interfere with the train’s operation?

Due to the structure of the wheels running over the tracks, the foot can become a weak point.

Therefore, if a tree is lying down on the track, it will easily derail.

I think this is an unintentional occurrence.

Because most people have never seen a railroad track.

A stone line parallel to the ground.

Few people currently understand how important it is.

So, you can’t imagine what would happen if you did something about it.

Considering that, the magic train may be surprisingly difficult to handle.

“The first is from the railway line that connects New Barca to the Orient and this Barca steelworks. The area is well looked after. But if you want to extend the tracks beyond that, you might have to run off the ground.”

“Are you sure it’s not on the ground?” What do you mean, Lord Alphonse? Railroad Laying should be a magic that activates on the ground. If so, wouldn’t it be possible to draw tracks other than on the ground? ”

“Recently, Lassen managed to create a magic called [Geological Survey].” Now, let’s start developing new magic. Now that we’re making magic to dig the ground, we might be able to use it to make a horizontal hole underground to get through the tracks. Underground tracks will reduce that impact somewhat. ”

“Ho ho ho. Lord Rassen has magic…” And [Geological Survey]. That would be interesting, but would you like to buy something new? Run the magic train underground through the tracks. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It’s

Isn’t that right?

The magic power was unlimited.

This made it easier to use magic stones to replenish magic power.

And, using its abundant magic power, Lassen suddenly crushed the “geological survey” and continued to activate magic, successfully developing magic.

If you have a [Geological Survey] that can grasp the structure below the ground, it will be easier to get more ore and such.

And some of the magic of digging in the pit was even better.

In this way, the Alphonse Balkaline magic train was to be developed in anticipation of underground operation in the future.
