The track from the logging farm to Kunchi is only five miles away. The terrain is flat and the wooden tracks are relatively simple to lay. As for the human rail car, Liu Yi uses a gear structure, which is a bit like a bicycle. One person can drive it. However, Liu Yi added a driving hub, which can be driven by one person or two people together, which will save more effort.

Looking at the strange-shaped cart without binding cows and horses, Wei Yue looked at Liu Yi with a strange look: "Boyuan, how should this car move?"

Most of the human railcars are wooden boxes for loading goods, but there is no place to tie ropes and there is no way to pull them.

"You'll know if you go up and try it." Liu Yi smiled and signaled Wei Yue to sit on it, and stepped on the pedal with both feet: "Yes, that's it. The two casters pedal in turn, don't exert force together, and break the pedal!"

"Oh~Huh~" Wei Yue started to operate according to Liu Yi's words, and just pedaled lightly, and the railcar began to slowly accelerate forward and soon disappeared.

"No, there is no speed reduction device!" Looking at the direction of the railcar, Liu Yi suddenly remembered something, his expression changed, he quickly ran away, and shouted loudly: "Stop quickly! Stop pedaling!"

But it was too far away that Wei Yue could no longer hear it clearly. He thought this thing was good, light, fast, and easy to operate. Just like the first time someone who learned to ride a bicycle, he began to accelerate continuously... and accelerate again until he was almost at the end and looked at Kunchi who appeared in sight in the distance. He was a little stunned. He knew that the track was here, but how could he stop!

He had stopped pedaling, but the speed of the railcar did not seem to have decreased much. He rushed out of the track at an extremely fast speed. The craftsmen who were carrying wood to build houses around him saw this and quickly spread out. As the railcar rushed out of the wooden track, rushed into the Kunchi and floated far away.

Some of the people who knew water quickly went into the water to rescue Wei Yue and dragged the railcar and Wei Yue up.

"I'll tell you to slow down, why don't you listen!" Liu Yi rushed to the front panting, looking at Wei Yue who was wet, and said funny and angrily.

"I want to do it too!" Wei Yue took the cotton towel handed by the craftsman and wiped the water on his body. After all, the track car was made of wooden and had buoyancy and did not sink. However, he bumped into it like this and splashed a lot of water on his body. While wiping, he looked at Liu Yi and asked: "Boyuan, your car is good, but you can't stop! If you are not careful, something will easily happen!"

"I will improve and improve it." Liu Yi nodded. The brake problem must be done. Although this will increase the loss of the railcar and shorten the service life, if not, something will easily happen!

"Can't this car drive on the post road?" Wei Yue looked at the track car and said with some unsatisfactory words.

"It's OK, but the bumps will be very big, and it's not easy to control the direction." Liu Yi nodded, then shook his head. Without rubber and other things, it would be difficult to make tires for riding such rickshaws. It's OK to control the direction, but it's not as practical as a carriage.

Wei Yue thought about his previous feelings, and at the same time he understood the importance of this track. Without this track, he would probably not be able to ride as smoothly as before.

After confirming that Wei Yue was fine, Liu Yi returned to the logging field and began to improve the track truck, mainly adding the speed reduction device. This is not too difficult. Just put a speed reduction wood on the wheels.

Human rail car: lightweight +41, stable +43, speed regulation +46, solid +49, mental excitement +48

Wooden track (total): unobstructed and unobstructed +46, high-speed driving +47, safe and stable +44

After Liu Yi's modification, the human rail car was equipped with a speed reduction device and could be put into production. However, it was not the rail car that really consumed labor, but the laying of wooden rails. This required a flat ground. It was easy to say here, but if you really wanted to cross mountains and ridges, you had to build a way out first. The manpower needs to be mobilized is very high. The population of Nanzhong is sparse. Even if the population of the Han and Man tribes is added together, not to mention the money spent. In terms of manpower, if you want to repair a few wooden rails from Nanzhong to Shuzhong, it is estimated that it will take at least two years without affecting the normal development of Nanzhong. This is still Liu Yi, regardless of the cost, hired more master-level workers and cooperated with tens of thousands of labor. If you want to pave all the way to Hanzhong, there is no shortage of manpower there, but you also have to build roads first.

It is impossible to complete the laying in less than four or five years, let alone the ones going to Jingzhou. Of course, the terrain of Jingzhou is flat and relatively easy. Moreover, the water transportation in Jingzhou is well developed, so the demand for such human rail cars is not too high. If Yongliang is captured in the future, it will be the real place for human rail cars to use. However, if the wood from Nanzhong and Shuzhong is transported out, the tracks in Shuzhong must be laid.

However, the production of wooden tracks itself is not too difficult. Liu Yi has now come up with a machine to quickly manufacture wooden tracks, using manpower to start the knife wheel and then perform rapid processing, which can speed up the production speed. The most important thing is to lay the wooden tracks. At present, Liu Yi can't think of any shortcuts to go, so he can only rely on manpower to pile them up.

For now, we will first lay the wooden tracks in Yunnan. If we weren't worried about Meng Huo, Liu Yi would like to go back to Jianning and start construction there. If the two directions are developed, the speed will be much faster.

"What are Meng Huo's recent moves?" After hiring someone responsible for making and laying tracks, Liu Yi recruited Ma Su and began to ask about Meng Huo. Now he wants to build a city, lay wooden tracks, develop silver mines, and play games with Meng Huo. He no longer wants to continue playing, and it is just a waste of time.

"I went to the southwest area, which was more than 300 miles away. The specific trends were unknown. The mountains and roads in that area were dangerous and our people could not get close to it." Ma Su shook his head and said.

"Then send more scouts to supervise the area, and instruct the scouts to ask more dangerous places around the local mountain people, so that they will not be able to catch up in the future." Liu Yi nodded. Meng Huo could not hide now. It was obviously holding up his ultimate move. He was summoning the people he could still summon to prepare to fight him. However, for Liu Yi, Meng Huo is now a secondary figure.

"Now it is the autumn harvest. In addition to training, the soldiers can help the barbarians harvest and enhance their relationship." Liu Yi sat down and signaled Ma Su to sit opposite him: "In addition, I hope to move some Han people here. This Nanzhong land is not a barren land, but there are a lot of resources. I have planned some evil forests that can be cut down for land reclamation. Many of the southern barbarians still do not trust us, but these cultivated land cannot be wasted. Moreover, we need a lot of manpower now. Nanzhong alone is not enough, so we can go to Shuzhong to attract some refugees."

In the past, refugees have always existed, not just because of war, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and Shuzhong has achieved success. The capital is better and can support people. In other places, many people leave their hometowns because they can't survive. Natural disasters are easy to understand. As for man-made disasters... the problem of local land annexation is still serious. Even if Liu Bei has been committed to improving these over the years, it is only achieved. The capital is relatively better.

Liu Yi has no choice but to do anything about those rich people for the time being, and after all, they are a class, and those who are strong will only cause internal friction. Therefore, Liu Yi hopes to use this method to make them have land but no race, and at the same time, they will better implement Zhuge Liang's new law in the southern middle places. The wealthy families here are generally not strong, and most of them are in a state of being independent, so it is easier to govern.

He had already written to Jingzhou and was preparing to move the team of Yuxiang Academy here. The southern and central areas are now a piece of white paper, and it is easier to implement some laws and regulations, which can be used as the birthplace of Zhuge Liang's new laws.

"Here!" Ma Su nodded. This matter was not difficult for him.

"Half Mo is planning to live here for a long time?" Ma Su asked.

"It will be for a long time. At least the cities we designed and the wooden tracks between various places must be laid. In the future, the wood and mineral deposits in the south will be transported out. These wooden tracks will play a great role. Moreover, I am going to apply to the court, and at least all of the wooden tracks in Shu must be laid." Liu Yi nodded with a smile and looked at Ma Su and said, "If it can be achieved, if we go to war with Cao Wei in the future, the manpower required for logistics will be greatly reduced."

Ma Su also saw the rail car these days and knew that what Liu Yi said was not false. The materials that a rail car could carry were topped by a dozen or twenty civilians, but only two people needed to operate, and the speed was far higher than that of civilians. This was too advantageous for logistics. If the same number of troops went to war with Cao Wei, only one-tenth of the logistics power of Cao Wei was enough. In this way, as the attacking party, the impact of war on people's livelihood under one's own rule would be much smaller. This is not a common problem with simple logistics.

In a large-scale battle, Cao Wei needed hundreds of thousands of civilians to transport supplies, while Liu Bei might only need 10,000 or 20,000. Under the rule of the people, they should do farming and work, and they can continue to develop. Cao Wei, probably many places would have to tighten their belts to survive. In this way, Liu Bei could support consumption for a longer time and not be afraid of long-term wars. If Cao Wei continued to spend money with Liu Bei, it would only become weaker and weaker. Is this the gap in industry that Liu Yi mentioned?

He speculated in his mind about the future war scenes. Ma Su had the idea of ​​truly being able to make a strong country for the first time. The difference between the two sides was too obvious. Liu Yi almost forcibly reversed the logistics consumption of both sides with one person and made up for the gap in national strength between the two countries.

Such a work is really just a skill?
