Chapter 858 Steampunk World
The white and green train carrying hundreds of people slowly drove out of the bright dock.
The passengers sitting in the train did not care about the exquisite food in front of them at this time. They all clung to the windows and stared in amazement at such a huge metal train, which was advancing steadily forward.
In the main carriage at the forefront, the main figures from both sides were gathered.
The core members of the Ye family were also sitting on the soft seats at this time, watching the changing scene outside the window.
"This is the power of steam. I thought that pushing ships on the sea was the limit, but I didn't expect that it can also push goods and people on land."
The scene outside the window began to dim, and the scene outside the window became blurry again.
The dock is located on the coast, a certain distance from the city they want to reach.
In order to stabilize the internal space, the speed of the train is not too high, so you can take advantage of this time to enjoy it.
In the rear carriage, the Ye family also began to enjoy delicious food, and the lively atmosphere of communication even spread to the front carriage.
Quan Yi also greeted the four people at the table to eat together.
Compared to the lively Quan family, the atmosphere of the Ye family is more deserted.
However, no matter how cold the spring water is, as long as it is heated hard enough, the meal can be lively.
Under the enthusiastic offensive led by Quanli, the atmosphere between the two sides is also heating up.
When the barriers between them began to disappear, everyone began to talk about more in-depth topics.
"The dock just now is the largest shipyard on the island, called 'Whale's Nest'.
It is mainly used to produce large iron ships like the Gray Whale One.
Because there is no deep-water port on the east side of the island that can accommodate gray whales, we can only take the trouble to take a long way to Jinbi Port. ”
Quanli explained the reason for bringing everyone to the northern coast.
Because Blue Silver Island is an island formed by the crustal plate on the east side being held up, its underwater terrain is relatively gentle on the east side, and the waters here are basically not too deep.
Although it can accommodate some wooden ships or small and medium-sized neat iron ships, it is difficult to carry a large iron ship like the Gray Whale One.
After comprehensive consideration, they finally chose the steeper north side of the shipyard to build large iron ships.
At the same time, manufacturing large iron ships not only requires a large amount of metal, but also requires workers and blacksmiths to equip it.
For this reason, Yunqiong immediately decided to move the heavy industry part of the entire production process to the north and build a new city.
The original Haixi City retained the light industry of manufacturing sellable goods.
The two cities that have achieved division of labor have become more concentrated in their respective fields.
Luyan City, the second city on the island, has also become a large town with a population of more than 100,000.
Moreover, through the railway across the two cities and the original Dragon Lizard No. 1 train, the industrial products between each other can be exchanged and mutually supported.
So that both parties can grow together.
Regarding Quanli's humble words, Ye Xiaoxiao responded calmly: "It's just a small voyage. Compared with the specific mileage, the time we spent is too short.
Moreover, we are not poor and weak people, and our predecessors do not need to worry about this. ”
Quanli was satisfied with Ye Xiaoxiao's answer, which was neither humble nor overbearing.
"In that case, I won't be polite. Next, we have to talk about the future."
Quanli's expression suddenly became extremely serious, which made the atmosphere in the entire carriage sink.
Ye Xiaoxiao had been waiting for this for a long time. Her slightly hollow eyes looked directly at Quanli without any hesitation.
"Please speak."
Quanli took this opportunity to look around at the four members of the Ye family and found that each of them was sitting silently next to Ye Xiaoxiao, facing the pressure from him together.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but secretly praise the Ye family's character. "In that case, I won't be polite.
In fact, we are currently facing a physician shortage.
The city we are about to arrive is a city of steam and steel, where all the materials needed to make trains and iron ships are manufactured.
And such work is bound to be accompanied by certain dangers.
Considering the urban population of more than 100,000, even if only 1% of people are injured every day, that is more than 1,000 cases.
In contrast, there are only a handful of doctors on our island who can provide effective treatment.
Now, the hospitals in our city are actually operating at overload.
Therefore, although I am sorry that you have just arrived on the island, I would like to ask you if you can enter the hospital as soon as possible and treat our patients. ”
At the end of Quanli's words, with a guilty look on his face, he solemnly bowed his head to the representative of the Ye family.
Following Quanli's movements, the three people around him also followed him and bowed their heads to the three people in front of them.
This move directly caused the calm lake water in Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes to shake violently.
She couldn't care less about keeping calm, she stood up and raised her hands and said: "Everyone, please get up quickly, my Ye family is not qualified to receive this great gift."
At this time, Quanli raised his head and replied seriously: "Doctors who can save people are respectable people to me.
As long as someone can save the injured in my city, no matter who he is, I will bow my head. ”
Ye Xiaoxiao saw in Quanli's eyes the cherishment of citizens' lives and respect for doctors.
"If you serve as a doctor under such a leader, you will definitely be happy."
As a doctor with a medical heart, a strong emotion of dying for a confidant suddenly arose in her heart.
Ye Xiaoxiao's expression relaxed inexplicably, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Now that the words have come to this, how can you tell me to refuse?"
The expression on Quanli's face became full of expectation, and he asked uncertainly: "What do you mean?"
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at the family members around her and saw that they were all supporting her with firm eyes.
She took a deep breath and made her decision.
"All the doctors of the Ye family are willing to join the hospital to save lives and heal the wounded."
Hearing the confident answer, Quanli stood up and laughed excitedly.
"Hahaha, okay. On behalf of all the island residents, I would like to thank you all.
At the same time, you are welcome to join the island and become a part of it. ”
It was at this time that the thick fog outside the window quickly subsided, and the scene outside the window suddenly became clearer.
Orange light shines into the car from the window.
To the side of the train, a huge and bright town appeared.
Various tall and spacious large-scale buildings stand on the earth like giants.
The bright lights inside them form a strong contrast with the dark building surfaces, giving people a mysterious and primitive feeling.
On the top of each building, there are exhaust pipes extending upward. There are also various strange-shaped steam locomotives passing through the wide and long passages between buildings.
The entire city is filled with all kinds of steam equipment. As Quanli said, 'steam and steel' is the main theme of Luyan City.
