I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

"Oh? What makes you like this?" Medea laughed.

Hearing the Queen's teasing, the secretary blushed and the cat's tail swung back and forth behind her: "A very valuable gift, it's an orc."

Medea's eyelids twitched when she heard this: "Huh? Anago still has slaves!"

This is not sending others away, this is sending yourself to the execution ground!

If she remembered correctly, the middle and senior management of the Anago tribe probably had tens of thousands of people in total. I believe the shooting range would be as lively as the birthday day~

"No, no, no! She is a very precious and extremely important beastman to the Anago tribe. She is not a slave, but the spiritual totem of Anago."

"Forget it, I'll take a look myself. Where is the person?"

'Already waiting at the gate of the palace.'

"Okay, let's go then."

We took the special car back to the gate of the Queen's Palace and found that a convoy was already waiting there. There were also several mecha warriors nearby who were questioning and patrolling, and they were always on guard.

Upon seeing Media's convoy, the mecha soldier in charge of questioning immediately stepped forward to block the intersection of the two convoys.

Seeing the Queen arrive, the people around her bowed and greeted her. Only the mecha soldiers stood upright and watched everyone's expressions through the perspective of their tall fuselages.

The Anago tribe is a settlement of bear people, and they were previously one of the dominant tribes in the Ortu Alliance.

They have a large population base and are very physically fit. They are basically the main source of heavy armored soldier units such as flamethrowers and machine gunners. Of course, there are also artillery loaders on warships...

When Baneta, the chief of the Anago tribe, saw Medea, a simple smile appeared on his face. For a man over 2.2 meters tall to make such an expression was a bit eye-catching.

However, the baby in his arms attracted Medea's attention, mainly because the pair of erect deer ears were so cute that she wanted to touch them.

Especially when she found that the bear leader, who was lying in his arms, was secretly looking at her with a pair of big wet eyes. His eyes were clear but also...stupid? Anyway, stupid and cute.

"On behalf of the Anago tribe, I would like to thank Her Majesty the Queen for her help. This year, no one in our tribe will be hungry."

"They took our ancestors in when they fled to the subcontinent. Later, in order to repay them, our ancestors took them in to live with them and to protect them."

"Little Lillian's parents unfortunately passed away while away from home. We were afraid we wouldn't be able to support her since she was too young. So... they are the lucky totems of our Anago tribe. There are only a few dozen of them left."

Banetta finished his words with a grunt, and Medea's lips twitched as he heard it. Are you using me as a nursery?

He wanted to say something, but seeing the almost identical silly expressions of the two children, Medea sighed and thought, forget it, he probably wouldn't understand even if he said it.

Now that you're here, just do this: raise it for a while and send it to an institution.

And she could also understand Banetta's thoughts, that is, he was not very confident in the public welfare institutions of the alliance. The welfare institutions treated everyone equally, but in Banetta's heart, he hoped that the little guy in front of him could always be cared for.

Thinking of this, Medea squatted down and waved to little Lillian.

Banetta looked down at the little thing in his arms, shook it reluctantly, then squatted down and put her on the ground: "Go, go to His Majesty."

Lillian turned her head to look at Banetta, then looked at Medea who was waving at her. She couldn't help but raise her hand and hold a finger in her mouth. Banetta gently pushed her again, and the little girl walked towards Medea.

He had only taken two steps when he tripped over his left foot and fell to the ground. Everyone was startled.

Fortunately, Medea reacted very quickly, stretched out her hand and swung out a golden-red energy to lift her up in the air. Lillian didn't seem to be scared. She lay on the energy light belt and touched it curiously, then tried to climb up with a hissing sound.

Medea waved her hand, and the light band turned into a translucent ball that wrapped her up and let her play with it.

At first she didn't think much about it, just thinking it was an accident, until she said goodbye to Barnetta and turned around and accidentally saw the short white tail on her little butt.

The whole person seemed to be struck by a bolt of lightning, deer ears, white tail, roe deer!

Chapter 164 Comrades Use Talk, Not Action

When she first heard the bear chief say that they were trying to protect them, Medea subconsciously thought of Eagle Sauce's crocodile tears.

Until she saw with her own eyes the little thing Lillian tripped and fell three times in the same place and fell flat on the soft carpet.

She believed it

As expected, the bear people are kind-hearted by nature. She even wondered if this thing would have killed itself by falling down if it hadn't been for the bear people's intervention.

She had heard that life would always find a way out on its own, but she had never heard that it would find its own death.

However, when Alyssa brought her army of pets to occupy the Queen's Palace for the second time and met Lillian, the animals' reactions were beyond everyone's expectations.

Almost all the small animals would come forward to be intimate with Lillian after seeing her, and her surroundings were filled with cats asking for petting and hugging.

The big dog carried her around the house, followed by a large group of cats. Alyssa felt jealous: "These bad kids, they were reluctant to hold me before, but now they come to me on their own."

Medea turned her head and looked at the cat-woman secretary who was looking at Lillian with shining eyes. She had a guess in her mind that maybe the bear tribe protected them not purely out of gratitude.

Perhaps this is their greatest reliance for survival.

Ankergas

Ever since the Kingdom of Palia announced its full incorporation into the Seris Alliance, the state of Ankgas, which had been devastated by the war and was in need of reconstruction, had also received large-scale aid from the Alliance.

The massive infrastructure plan requires a complete railway network to provide a channel for the transportation and delivery of raw materials, so railway construction is the most important project and the first to be started.

However, the construction of the railway requires time and a lot of manpower and material resources, and Ankergas does not produce the raw materials needed for the rails.

Therefore, in the first five-year plan, Ankegas could only open dual tracks to transport raw materials to and from the mining area of ​​the original dwarf kingdom, and then expand it little by little to cover other aspects.

So even though it has been incorporated into the alliance, it is still difficult to deliver aid. The air transport airship department's orders are fully booked every day, and food and daily necessities are delivered to various places at a high intensity.

The railway department transports raw materials into the state day and night to maintain the operation of newly built large factories and produce various types of building materials needed for construction.

At the same time, old factories and mines under the jurisdiction of major new states need to be liquidated and rebuilt, demarcated, equipment replaced, employee training, etc.

In other words, everything needs to be done, but everything takes time to do.

'Good evening, Comrade House.'

"Good evening, Colum. Let's go have a drink with Reese after our shift."

"No problem! I haven't drunk for a while to keep in shape. It's so cold and I can't drink. "

When Colen heard about drinking, his eyes lit up and he agreed immediately, while complaining a few words.

Because of the heavy transportation pressure, the trains in Anchorage are stopped and work all night long. When the train is inspected, the locomotive is simply replaced and the train continues to run.

The three of them were train drivers on the same team, each responsible for eight hours of work.

Train drivers' wages, salaries and benefits within the union are among the highest among all workers.

Of course, this was also because other factories were eagerly waiting for the delivery of raw materials by train so that they could start production. As a result, the Ministry of Railways always received products donated by various factories, so their life was very comfortable.

To this day, House still remembers the excitement of his family and the envy and jealousy of his neighbors when he was confirmed to be assigned to the job of train driver.

But House felt that this was what he deserved, and it was worth his efforts in learning to read and studying hard in night school and literacy classes.

He could proudly say that he had seen Ankegas's appearance at four o'clock in the morning and was very familiar with it. His hard work brought him satisfactory rewards.

As he became a full-time employee after his internship, the matchmaker began to visit him frequently to worry about his lifelong events. He knew very well what everything today was based on, so he took his job very seriously.

Look, it was clearly a shift change in the early morning, but he had already arrived at the station two hours in advance to start preparing for work.

While having supper, many colleagues in the cafeteria were discussing recent events. There have been several incidents of suicide by lying on the tracks in many places, and now drivers at many stations are in danger.

In this kind of emergency, the driver will not be held accountable as long as he has not done anything wrong, but he will inevitably be interrogated for a period of time. No normal person would want to be caught and interrogated.

House didn't pay much attention to the gossip. He changed into his work clothes and walked around the track twice, chatting with long-distance drivers from other states about what they had seen in other places. This was what he was most curious about.

House has never left Ankergas since he was a child. He finds everything in the outside world new and interesting, especially when other people talk about something that interests him, he will feel an urge to go out and explore.

"Comrade, you don't know that the beastmen in Vimart can do backflips! Their body flexibility is amazing, and they can use so many positions... Tsk tsk."

Looking at the other person's hidden smile, House blushed and stammered, "I, I still like petite women."

Unexpectedly, the other party put his hand on his shoulder, handed him a cigarette and lit one for himself, took a puff and smiled:

'You and I have similar tastes, comrade. Dwarven women are too difficult to deal with, and it's very expensive to do that. But after trying it, I really don't like it. Hehehe...'

"After I got out, I felt completely empty, both my body and my wallet were empty. If we hadn't provided meals and received some small local specialties, I would be sleeping on the street now."

House's face turned even redder. Although the other party spoke cryptically, men are very talented in this area and he immediately got what the other party was saying, but the other party misunderstood his meaning.

House explained: "I mean, this is what I want in my future wife. I hope she's um... petite. I like cute ones."

"That's difficult. The life span of dwarves is much longer than ours, roughly around 400-500 years old. So if you are under 300 years old, you don't have to think about it. But if you are over years old, you will definitely not be able to beat her and she will easily abuse you."

"And there is one thing that cannot be avoided, that is, even if we are 300 years old, we are not worthy of them and cannot outlive them. Therefore, the dwarves are basically forbidden to intermarry with humans, which is not good for both sides."

"Don't keep talking about dwarves! Others are fine too. For example, don't orcs have a lifespan similar to ours?"

'hiss...'

The old man took a puff of cigarette, glanced up and down at House, and shook his head:

"Your body size probably won't work. Orcs and us have similar life spans, but you can't handle them with your skinny body. You can play with them, but if you marry her, she'll probably be sucked to death."

The older brother clearly said the three words "you can't do it", and House almost couldn't hold it back.

But when I compared their bodies, I found that the other person was big and strong and I weighed at most 130 pounds. If I were to get punched by him, he would probably kneel down and beg me not to die.

Forget it, we are all comrades, so just talk instead of fight.

Being questioned about things that a man should not be questioned about, House had a depressed expression on his face when he was handing over the shift to Colen, which made his colleague Colen look surprised.

But Colen didn't ask much. He was extremely tired. After completing the handover, he yawned and left with his teacup.

The station has specialists who are responsible for reversing the car to connect the cabinets, adding water and filling the magic crystal array. House only needs to observe the steps and take notes.

The steam locomotives of the magic crystal array are more efficient in load and range than coal and other combustion materials, and will not cause carbon deposits, reducing the frequency of maintenance, so nodes with heavy tasks basically use magic crystal trains.

Chapter 165 Weird Smile

After the specialist has made preparations and the train is ready to depart, the two people will compare the records, make two copies, and each sign and put their fingerprints on the records to consider the handover a success.

Different stations on the road correspond to quota indicators of several factories. After loading and unloading, record files will be handed over to him. After reaching the end point, the transfer will return all the exchange record books and various station report sheets, and the work is considered completed.

After the train officially started, House no longer thought about those trivial things. He focused on controlling the train to run at a constant speed. At the same time, he occasionally activated the anti-fatigue device that had to be triggered manually every ten minutes and sounded the horn to make his ears uncomfortable.

There is no need to add combustibles, so the train driver's job is actually quite easy. The only drawback is that it is boring, and people will get tired if they do the same thing for a long time.

But he got used to it, and the first trip was completed smoothly. After resting for half an hour at the finish line to regain his energy, he started his return journey.

A train loaded with various goods was running at high speed on the track. House picked up the large teacup and took a sip of strong tea to refresh himself. As soon as he put down the teacup, he found that there seemed to be a mass lying on the snow-covered track in front of him.

But the flying heavy snow and the pure white snow seriously interfered with his ability to identify.

He suddenly perked up, fearing that some animal was resting there, so he quickly pulled the lever to slow down the train and blew the train horn. The sharp whistle echoed far away in the night sky.
