Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

After drawing the lines, she picked up the large pair of scissors next to the wooden table.

"Cutting is the step where you can't afford to make a mistake."

Koi's expression became extremely serious, and her voice lowered slightly.

"Once you cut it, there's no going back. If you mess it up, the fabric can only be used to make small items like handkerchiefs or ribbons."

"Therefore, before cutting, you should look at it three times and measure it five times. Only when your hands are no longer shaking and your heart is not flustered should you cut."

The scissors cut neatly along the chalk lines, the sound of the blades biting into the fabric crisp and clean, all in one smooth motion.

The pieces of fabric were separated one by one and laid flat on the wooden table: the front, back, two sleeves, collar, and a few small pieces of fabric used for edging.

Finally, it's time for sewing.

The koi fish threaded a needle, demonstrating two of the most basic needlework techniques to everyone.

"This is a straight stitch, the most common one, used for sewing ordinary seams."

She demonstrated stitch by stitch, the stitches fine and even.

"This is a hidden stitch, where the stitches are concealed between two layers of fabric, making the seam almost invisible from the outside. It is specifically used for areas that require a neat appearance, such as the collar, cuffs, and hem."

"When sewing clothes, the stitches should be even. If they are too close together, it will waste time and thread; if they are too far apart, they will not be strong. The force and spacing of each stitch should be the same, and the tension of the thread should also be the same."

Everyone present dared not even breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing the koi.

Before she knew it, a simple yet neat cotton shirt was gradually taking shape in the koi's hands.

The sleeves were sewn on, the collar was attached, and the side seams extended from the hem to the armpits, each stitch fine and even, without the slightest flaw.

However, the koi fish did not stop.

She put down her needlework and picked up the iron utensil next to the wooden table. It was a heavy iron object, shaped like an inverted wide spoon, with a lid that could be opened and closed. The inside was hollow, and it was obviously used to hold charcoal.

"This is an iron."

She explained, while padding her hands with a thick cloth, that she slowly and steadily pushed the iron across the freshly sewn garment.

"The final step is ironing to give the clothes their shape, making them crisp and wrinkle-free when worn."

As the iron passes over the fabric, steam rises and gradually the slightly soft material becomes smooth and even, and the outline of the clothes becomes clear and crisp.

The collar is neatly fitted, the shoulder line is straight, and the hem hangs naturally.

After putting down the iron, the koi picked up the garment and gave it a gentle shake in the air.

A cotton top, entirely handmade from material selection to finished product, was thus presented to everyone in its entirety.

Simple, clean, with fine stitches.

There was a moment of silence.

Then, applause broke out.

A heartfelt admiration and respect.

Xu Tian stood on the outermost edge of the crowd, taking in the entire scene.

He originally planned to find some real-world textile tutorial videos, learn the basics, and then have Clara teach everyone using them.

Unexpectedly, Jinli turned out to be a true expert, and taught him much better than he had imagined.

The detailed explanations down to each step, the tips derived from practical experience, and the skill and composure that flowed naturally during the operation.

This is definitely not something you can fake by cramming at the last minute.

"It really is..."

Xu Tian looked at the young female teacher on the stage who was patiently answering various questions from the NPCs, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

"I've struck gold!"

He muttered to himself, turned and quietly left, leaving the workshop to those who were eager to try making their first garment.

As the clothing-making lessons gradually got on track, and Jinli patiently answered all sorts of questions from the gathered NPCs, Xu Tian nodded slightly, satisfied. Then, he quietly turned around and left the increasingly noisy workshop area.

He opened the system's built-in communication interface, quickly swiped his finger across the screen, and sent Yang Qinyu a brief inquiry.

[The Only One in the World: Blackie, is the drawing finished?]

Almost instantly, the other party replied.

[Little Blackie: The defense maps for the Goblin Tribe and the Orc Tribe have been drawn up.]

[The Only One Under Heaven: Okay, send it to me first, I'll get them to build those two first, and then you can slowly draw the other two directions.]

[Little Blackie: Okay]

A few seconds later, two detailed and clearly labeled deployment maps were steadily transmitted to Xu Tian's system interface in the form of a data stream.

[Little Black: Goblin Tribe Modified Image.png]

[Little Blackie: Modified image of the Pig-Headed Tribe.png]

Xu Tian tapped his finger lightly, unfolding the image, and his gaze quickly swept over every detail on the drawing.

In the very center of the blueprint, a red dot clearly marks the core of the Eshilia base.

That crucial portal.

Chapter 97 Railway Transportation

From the red dot, four straight and thick red lines, like extending blood vessels, point in the four directions of east, south, west, and north, and each of their endpoints connects to a front-line base clearly marked with a blue box.

At the end of two of the routes lie the ruins of the Goblin Tribe and the Orc Tribe, which have been bloodily conquered by players.

"A railway network that runs through four strategic locations..."

Xu Tian muttered to himself, a hint of understanding and approval flashing in his eyes.

Previously, the use of Ender Chests for transferring personnel and supplies was convenient, but limited by their single-transfer capacity and the fact that players had to manually retrieve them each time, the efficiency was ultimately insufficient to meet the needs of large-scale, high-frequency transportation.

If a complete and efficient railway system can be established, it will not only completely solve the transportation bottleneck, but also elevate the strategic depth and connectivity of the entire Eshilia to a whole new level.

"but……"

Xu Tian frowned slightly, a real problem looming before him.

“In the original Minecraft, the speed limit of the minecart is too low, with a top speed of only about 20 kilometers per hour. Laying a railway at this speed is not as meaningful as organizing a group of fast horses.”

What he needs is not this toy-like mode of transportation, but a modern rail transit system with real strategic value that can quickly connect all parts of his territory.

With a thought, he directly brought up the system store interface.

On the dark blue screen, a dazzling list of modules scrolled rapidly, and finally, his gaze settled on one of the icons.

[Railway Transportation Module]

[Description: Includes a complete modern railway transportation system with high-speed rails, steam locomotives, diesel locomotives, electric locomotives, and station systems; maximum design speed can reach 500 km/h]

Price: 2000 Energy Points

Xu Tian lowered his gaze and glanced at his current energy point balance: 4237 points.

During this period, as the number of players has steadily increased, their activity range and combat frequency on the continent of Eshilia have also significantly increased.

The corpses of a large number of slain monsters were continuously transported back to the base, and through the system's extraction and conversion mechanism, they accumulated a considerable amount of energy reserves for him.

"System, purchase railway transportation module."

Xu Tian silently recited the instructions and issued them clearly.

Purchase successful

Energy Points Deducted: 2000

[Current remaining energy points: 2237]

The next second, a massive amount of information flooded into the depths of Xu Tian's mind.

Numerous entirely new synthetic formulas and structures, and unprecedented special materials...

All of them have been added to Minecraft.

The module's content and system were far more comprehensive than he had initially anticipated.

It not only provides basic tracks and vehicles, but also includes acceleration tracks for increasing speed, deceleration tracks to ensure safe stopping, and track changers and turnout systems for route diversion.

Furthermore, locomotive types are further subdivided into three main categories: steam locomotives powered by coal, diesel locomotives powered by oil, and more efficient and cleaner electric locomotives.

"It really is a good product."

Xu Tian carefully processed this information, his eyes filled with even greater satisfaction.

Without any delay, he immediately listed the newly purchased module in the in-game store, visible to all players, following the established procedure.

At the same time, his consciousness quickly switched, and he issued commands to the NPCs through the "Conquer the World" technique.

Clara.

Xu Tian's voice resounded directly in the ears of the girl who was organizing the garment-making training.

"The villagers were divided into two groups. One group stayed here to learn the craft of garment making from the koi carp, while the other group was organized immediately to take tools and go to the wild to collect various new materials needed for railway transportation modules."

"All the collected materials are transported to my work area, where I synthesize and perform preliminary processing."

"Understood, sir."

Without the slightest hesitation, Clara immediately turned around and began to allocate manpower.

"System, issue the corresponding task."

Xu Tian looked at the gold coins on his personal panel, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.

"Having hoarded so many gold coins, it's time to release some to incentivize everyone."
