“Thank you.”
The embarrassed girl thanked him with emotion.
She did not notice Kasha’s abnormality and sat next to him.
She said in a thin voice, “You don’t know that person, right?”
“Omi Kiss? That’s the name, isn’t it? Is it famous?”
“His last name is famous.”
“Oh.”
Kasha looked up at the boy named Omi Kiss who had been glaring at Zhinan, smiled at him, and then ignored him and started communicating with the girl next to Zhinan.
“I’m from the countryside, I’ve never seen the world, tell me about it.”
Then the girl briefly recounted the glorious deeds of the so-called “Ski” clan and their power.
The Ski family suddenly rose to prominence in the past five hundred years.
Originally, it was the second son of a down-and-out baron, originally named August Deno.
Because he could not inherit the title and was ostracized by his eldest brother, he eventually separated from the family and established his own family, changing his surname to August Ski.
Afterwards, in order to survive, Ogu Ski worked in a blacksmith shop for a while, and then became a little famous with his blacksmithing skills.
At that time, the Norton Republic and the Chinese Eagle Federation were at war, and Aug Ski, a member of the Chinese Eagle Federation, was drafted into the army.
However, he did not make a name for himself in his military career.
Instead, when he was almost wiped out as a vanguard because the reinforcements could not arrive in time, he thought that if there was something that could replace ordinary roads to transport soldiers or even firearms, wouldn’t they be several times ahead of the enemy at the strategic level?
Of course, there were many senior executives who had the same idea, but there was no good solution.
At that time, Ogu Ski proposed whether it was possible to build similar transport rails based on the polished tracks made by the blacksmith himself in the blacksmith shop.
This plan was thrown into the trash right from the start.
You have to know how precious iron ore was in that era.
Even the iron ore developed by the country itself did not produce much.
Not to mention that during the war, those military leaders would like to use all the iron ore to make guns and cannons.
How would they build the tracks?
How much iron would that cost?
In the subsequent battles, the Chinese Eagle Federation was repeatedly ambushed and divided by the mobile forces composed of the sturdy grassland horses fed with the finest fodder of the Norton Republic.
The defense line was retreated again and again, and Augu Ski’s seemingly absurd abandoned plan was picked up again.
The military called Augu Ski over.
After Augu Ski demonstrated the principle of using the track, this plan was recognized by a small number of people.
So after some discussion, they prepared to conduct a pilot experiment.
Initially the track was used for mining.
The low mineral output in this world is not due to the backwardness of mining work, but the high transportation cost.
A large amount of iron ore is piled up into mountains, but transportation depends entirely on horse-drawn carriages.
The Huaying Federation is not a place like the Norton Republic where horses are abundant.
Even if the smelter is built nearby, the factory that relies entirely on biological transportation will still not work fast, because – coal also needs horse-drawn carriages to pull it from other places!
And when the world’s first proper track was built in the mine, horse-drawn carriages could pull the mine carts directly to the smelter.
Horses that were originally only able to pull three trips a day could now pull ten trips a day as long as they were given proper rest each time!
The efficiency that was more than three times higher shut up some people, so the second railway was built from the coal mine to the smelter.
Although this increased the output speed of the iron ore, a problem also arose.
The carriages often derailed at bends, which easily delayed transportation.
When the military leaders came to Augu Ski for a solution, Augu Ski took out his trump card – the mine cart and H-shaped anti-derailment wheels.
The mine cart is not so bad, the main highlight is the H-shaped anti-slip track wheel.
Originally, this was a special structure invented by Aug Ski’s blacksmith to prevent the grinder from slipping and hitting him.
He might not have expected that his little invention would be valued by the military one day.
Of course, the blacksmith has long passed away due to a hidden disease caused by years of blacksmithing.
No one knew that this thing was not invented by Aug Ski at the time.
It was only after Aug Ski became rich that the blacksmith’s descendants came to him for money and spread it.
No matter what the future holds, at least Aug.
Ski, who was appreciated by his superiors at the time, became prosperous.
The military spent a very high price to buy the manufacturing method of the H-shaped anti-derailment track wheel from Aug.
Ski.
In the future, horse-drawn carriages will no longer have to slow down at turns when transporting iron ore.
Moreover, with the mine cart invented by Aug.
Ski, the track extends to the depths of the mine, and the miners can directly pull out the waste, sand and gravel inside through the mine cart without having to rely entirely on manual transportation.
The mining rate of iron ore increased, the mass production of steel increased, and the military saw the dawn of victory.
For a time, Ogu Ski became a talent valued by the military.
With the money he had earned from selling the “track wheel patent”, he built a factory that specialized in providing various types of track wheels for the military, while also accepting orders for various customized mining cars.
Ogu Ski is not a fool either.
He has always believed in the potential of the rails.
Now that steel production has increased, he has taken out all his money to continue building the first rail to the war zone for the military free of charge!
Because of this track, the Huaying Federation has repeatedly turned the tables under the surprise attacks of the Norton Republic!
After gaining the favor of the Huaying Federation military, Ogu Ski was granted the title of baron with the consent of nearly 90% of the elders, and was given the priority purchase right of military orders.
In order to teach the Norton Republic a lesson, the Huaying Federation began to lay tracks on a large scale, and almost 30% of these tracks were imported from Ogu Ski’s factory.
A wave of fat!
But Auguski was not satisfied with his current income.
He actively expanded the scale of the factory and established many branches.
Then he took a large number of military orders at a price close to the base price, and directly annexed other factories after completely suppressing them!
Those small factories were angry but dared not speak out, because they could not offer such a low price, and they did not dare to take action against Auguski who had military connections.
How angry!
Thus, Ogu Ski became a true “noble”, especially after the Chinese Eagle Federation achieved a phased victory and signed a non-aggression agreement with the Norton Republic, he was promoted to the position of Viscount!
The former relatives tried to find Ogu Ski, but were driven away in the end.
Now he is not called Ogu Deno, but Ogu Ski, and he is a viscount!
Now, the Ski family has become a tycoon in the rail industry within the Huaying Federation.
Even now, the new tracks used by these high-speed trains are all purchased from the Ski family.
Therefore, the man named Omi Kiss has the capital to be arrogant. but…… “If he is really that powerful, why would he come and sit in a common seat?”
Kasha laughed, “Don’t tell me that he enjoys the life of a commoner. I don’t believe it. I guess he is just an illegitimate child without many rights.”
Omi Kiss, who vaguely heard the conversation, instantly blushed.
Kasha, you guessed it right.
