After Maxing out all Classes

Chapter 414: I want this big iron car

The queen didn't believe that the reason why he built a one hundred and fifty mile long railway was to commute between two places.
This excuse was so lame.
She glared at Robb angrily.
After a few seconds, she said in a low voice, “is it for the gemstone mine in Stone Canyon?”

Robb chuckled and said, “you are so smart that it's not easy for me to lie.”

The queen pounded the table and said, “that's my territory.
Even if I gave it to Robb Smith, it's still my territory.
You are so crazy to pry into the mineral resources of my kingdom.”

“Well, it seems that you have the ability to dig it out.” Robb smiled and said, “since you know there is a gemstone mine there.
Why don't you mine them out? Come on, discuss it in detail.”

The queen didn't say anything.
She was good at keeping silent and turning her head to look at him.
  However, a stupid minister behind her popped out his head and said, “We don't know where to mine for the ores.
Our kingdom is vast and there are treasures everywhere.
Why do we have to go to the remote mountain areas like Stone Canyon to mine? There are too few people there and we can't build a large mine.
It's not convenient to dig out some small stones.
We don't like it!”

“Bingo!” Robb smiled and said, “thank you for your cooperation and answering my question.”

The queen rolled her eyes at the minister.

The minister seemed to think of something and immediately became embarassed.

Robb smiled and said “The wise minister has explained it for me.
Miss queen, you must want to change the topic as soon as possible, but I still want to say it, because I have to say it out to piss you off.
When my train can drive to Stone Canyon, I can transport a large number of steel, wood and people to the canyon, and then make a large mine there, just like the mine we dug for iron, and put an iron railway there as well, At that time, the gemstone mine can be dug out randomly like steel, and then transported to Westwind Town by train one by one! “
  The queen was rendered speechless

Robb said, “don't blame me for not reminding you.
Hurry up and sell a lot of the gemstones in your hands.
When my mine starts, the gemstones will drop in price.
At that time, even an ordinary person can afford gemstone ornaments.
Do you believe it?”

The queen said calmly, “what does this have to do with me? I don't have any gemstones in my palace.
They are all sent to be magic items.
Haha!”

Although she was smiling, the officials behind her looked embarrassed.
It turned out that these people had a lot of gems hidden in them.
They were not as poor as the queen.

The train soon drove more than ten miles away!
 

 The scenery outside the window slowly retreated and Westwind Town had already been thrown far away.
At the beginning, many onlookers followed the train.
The noble young masters and the ladies even rode the horse to run with the train.
But after a long time, those who chased the train all went back.

The queen immediately found a problem.
The highest speed of a war horse could not be maintained for a long time.
If a horse kept running at the highest speed for dozens of miles, it would be very harmful to the horse.
Perhaps it would lie on the ground and foaming at the mouth after it finished running.

However, this big train seemed to be tireless and kept moving at a constant speed, just a little slower than a war horse.
If the iron track was not only twenty miles long, she would not doubt that it could keep running for hundreds of miles at a constant speed, and it still carried one hundred thousand pounds of iron tracks and sleepers.

This was very powerful!

Once it was widely spread, it would have a great impact on the whole kingdom, no, the whole world? She couldn't imagine what would happen next.
In the future, no matter what ores, equipment, weapons, food, they could all be pulled by this kind of big train, which weighed millions of pounds at a time.
Carriages, ox carts and other things could only be turned into tears of the times.

The Queen's heart became warm.
She wanted to get the train, no matter what.

Her emotion was not shown on her face, but in her eyes.

Robb smiled and said, “Oh, do you want the technology of the train?”

Being seen through by Robb, the queen didn't blush at all.
She said calmly, “yes, I do! But I'm afraid that you won't give it to me.”

Robb smiled and said, “this is how you treat a gentleman with your heart.
In fact, I have never thought of keeping it a secret.
I’m not as stingy as you are.
You can take it if you want, but even if I give it to you, you can't afford it.”

The Queen, “what?”

Robb smiled and said, “do you have so much iron to make the iron tracks? Not only from Westwind Town, but to Stone Canyon as well and the huge railway network that will connect your whole land, all the big cities.
Come on, let's study how much iron do you need?”

The queen was rendered speechless

She was very angry.

The queen felt like her throat was blocked by something.
She couldn't say anything and wanted to jump up and beat him.

“Look, if you want my big train, you have to build more iron mines, build more small iron tracks, small minecarts, and large smelters.
All these things have to be done.” Robb tried his best to persuade her, “don't talk about the war and pay more attention to the development of the internal affairs.”

The queen said, “if I'm not prepared for battle, Mondra will come to beat me.”

Robb chuckled and said, “it's obvious that you haven't played StarCraft before.
Let me tell you, a real starmaster will only use the minimum amount of resources to create troops and defend at the beginning of the game, and only if they’re in danger will they put more.
All the other resources will be used to deal with internal affairs.”

His phone call was in a mess, and there were some words that the queen couldn't understand, such as StarCraft.
But the queen was so smart that she could guess even if she couldn't understand, and she could actually understand his words.

She frowned and thought about it seriously.

It was not easy to determine the result of the battle between East and West Gran.

After all, Mondra had been in charge of the kingdom for sixteen years.
Now, the territory occupied by the East Gran was the richest and most populated area in the kingdom.
His country had sufficient military sources and a developed economy.

On her side, there were small towns on the border, either mountains or forests.
Except for Bright Road and Lost City, there were other small fish and shrimps.

At the beginning, the queen relied on the tactics of surprise to quickly take over a large area of the territory, but once she entered into a long-term battle, she did not have the confidence to end the war in a short period of time.
