Tavern in Another Dimension: Getting the Elf Queen Drunk at the Start

Chapter 135: Planning for the Railway Tracks

Alan looked at the system rewards in shock.

What did riding equipment mean? And it was limited to only dragons?

"System, what do you mean? I can't even beat a cat, do you still expect me to transform into a dragon knight?"

Alan could not help but complain, but the system did not respond at all.

After a long silence, he could not help but sigh.

"I thought you had become intelligent, but it turns out you're still a stupid thing..."

Alan looked at the conspicuous riding set in the bag compartment. According to the system's previous behavior, it would not give him any rewards casually.

Since the riding set was out now, and it was limited to only the dragons, it seemed that the dragons were coming soon.

The two fellows from the Angel tribe and Orc tribe had not left Rock City until now, so Alan could not be bothered with what their mission was.

"Dragons..."

Alan stood alone at the bar counter in a daze. Thinking about the reward he had just received, he could not help but mutter.

"Why did you suddenly think of the dragons?"

Yupanki happened to pass by and heard his mutter. He was a little curious why Alan would talk about the dragons.

"Hey, you heard it... It's nothing, it's just a sudden thought."

The system's matter was Alan's biggest secret, and it must not be exposed. When Yupanki asked, he could only prevaricate.

Seeing Alan's expression, Yupanki knew Alan was hiding something. It was just that he did not want to talk about it, so Yupanki did not continue asking. He just quietly put the matter to the bottom of his heart.

Ai Xiaohei was only a young magical beast in the Abyss, so she didn't know much. Seeing that Alan was troubled by the dragon, but she couldn't do anything to help, she was a little disappointed.

Yupanki continued to busy himself while Alan lay down again and continued to think.

Alan had already seen the elf race, demon race, dwarf race, goblin race, angel race, and orc race among the eight major races of Hailar Continent. Except for the most mysterious ghoul race, which hadn't appeared yet, seven races had already come to the tavern.

As for the dragons, they were a branch of the magical beasts. Because they were too powerful, their reproductive ability was quite weak, and there were not many of them, which led to the habit of being extremely protective of their own kind.

Even though the dragons were very famous and had a high status on the continent, they were still not included in the category of great races because of their numbers.

Alan silently recalled some of the information he knew about the dragons.

Regarding the dragon, he still needed to be on guard against the incident that caused Wayne's injury. Why did he have to slay the dragon at that time?

Slaying the dragon itself was an unreasonable thing, unless the target was a pseudodragon, and not the Frost Dragon that led to a series of consequences.

The more Alan thought about it, the more he felt that his speculation was somewhat reasonable. The person who plotted against Wayne back then probably did not simply want his life. There must be some detail that everyone had overlooked.

However, he was not very clear about the specifics of this matter. If he wanted to know, he could only wait for Wayne to return before asking. Even Dorje did not know much about this matter.

"Alan!"

"I have good news for you!"

Bart called out loudly outside the door, interrupting Alan's thoughts.

Outside the door, two dwarven men were carrying a piece of black steel.

"This is the... steel that you just forged?"

Alan quickly walked out of the door and stood at the entrance of the tavern, looking at the long piece of steel.

"It really is steel!"

Alan was surprised. It had only been a few days, and the steel was already forged?

"Yes! I followed the method you said and successfully forged the steel in one go." Bart said excitedly.

Alan was right about the method of hundred refining into steel, but he never thought that this method would really succeed.

Alan sighed. The dwarves' forging talent was indeed amazing.

"Since we got the steel now, then the rail should be able to be forged very soon, right?" Alan asked. If the rail could already be forged, then the matter of laying it would have to be discussed with Kramer as soon as possible.

"It has already begun. We've tested this piece of steel before. It can completely meet the conditions on the blueprint and can be directly put into production!"

Bart's words caused an inexplicable excitement to rise in Alan's heart.

He had once again brought an advanced technology from his previous life to this world.

"Then I'll go and discuss it with Uncle Kramer as soon as possible!"

After Alan finished speaking, Kramer's voice came from behind him.

"What matter do you want to discuss with me?"

Alan turned around and saw Kramer standing shoulder to shoulder with Severino at the entrance of the tavern.

"Uncle Kramer, I was just about to look for you. This time, it's a big matter!"

Alan's excited look made both of them somewhat puzzled. The youth in front of them had just done a big matter, and now he said that he had something important to discuss?

"Then let's go in first. Bring us some wine and we'll talk about it slowly, Haha..."

Kramer was in a good mood as he put his arm around Alan's shoulder and entered the tavern.

"Bart, come in first. Let's discuss the next thing together."

Alan called the three dwarves to enter the tavern together and discuss it later.

"Ha... tell me, what was the thing that you wanted to discuss with me just now?"

Kramer drank a mouthful of his physique magic whiskey and said with a look of enjoyment.

Alan told him about the network of tracks that he had talked about with the dwarves and goblins before.

"What you mean is that if this track is used with a special carriage, it will be faster than a carriage?"

Kramer immediately asked after Alan finished speaking.

"Uncle Kramer, the effect of the tracks is not as simple as being fast."

"There are cars on the railway track that are used to haul goods, and there are also cars that can be used to carry people. The power sources are all different. What we need to build now is only the most basic human power. After the railway track is built, the railway network will gradually be spread out. There will also be steam-driven trains and electric-driven trains..."

Alan's expression changed when he talked about rail transport. He was proud and confident.

Alan, who was talking excitedly, realized that everyone was staring at him in a daze. At this moment, there weren't even any tracks. Even if he said internal combustion engine or steam engine, no one would understand.

"Uh... Sorry, sorry, I've gone too far. Let's return to the question of choosing the first rail line."

Alan smiled awkwardly and brought the topic back to the beginning of the discussion.

The scene was silent. Bart, the other dwarfs, Kramer and Severino were all dumbfounded.

"Alan, you're a genius! You're definitely a genius! You're different from everyone on the continent. I can't wait to see what you're talking about..."

Bart was the first to return to normal, and he was the first to praise Alan without holding back.

"It's only been a day, Little Alan, you've brought me another big surprise!" Kramer was filled with emotion.

"Just like Wayne said, Alan's brain is the most precious treasure of the continent. There's an inexhaustible supply of strange ideas. Whenever everyone thinks that he's already the most powerful, he can always come up with something even more powerful."

Severino's words were full of praise, and he was completely convinced of Alan's ability.

...

Alan was gradually immune to everyone's praise for him. No matter how many times he explained, everyone felt that he was being modest.

"Let's first discuss the specific direction of this railroad track!"

"Yes, build the railroad track before we discuss anything else. Does Little Alan have any plans?" Severino asked.

"Little Alan, why don't we build the first railroad track from Rock City to the Imperial City!"

Kramer voiced out his thoughts before Alan spoke.

"This journey isn't short, and we'll pass by many cities. As long as we can connect Rock City to the Imperial City, we'll be able to connect half of the Oreste Empire's vertical cities!"

Kramer was clearer than Alan about the distribution of the Imperial City. This was also one of the reasons why Alan wanted to discuss with Kramer before deciding to start work.

"That's what I was thinking as well. First, let Rock City connect to the Imperial City, and then let this rail extend outwards."

Alan quickly followed up with his words. "It's just that I'm not too sure about the distribution of the cities along the way, so I don't know which direction to build it in. Also, to build the railway around the cities that we pass by, we need to seek their approval..."

After careful discussion, there was still a lot of work to be done to build a railway. Kramer and Severino took care of the official matters, leaving Alan and Bart to deal with the technical issues.

This discussion lasted from dawn to dusk. When Bart left with the dwarves, Kramer and Severino did not stay long.

Alan worked in the tavern until the end of the night.
