Start with liberation

Chapter 211 Central Pacific Railroad Company

Wu Qing frowned fiercely, and did not move for a while.

His hesitation and consideration are not many, but not none.

First of all, after all, it is undeniable that most of the extraordinary power in my body comes from the tasks released by Jie Jiesheng. In the process of doing the tasks, I obtained them indirectly or directly... Wu Qing had already thought about this, to make himself stronger, maybe Is [Jie Jie Sheng] the purpose of releasing the task?

Moreover, after witnessing the huge waves set off by Shi Xuanzong that flooded the army, and the dharma body that was as terrifying as a mountain peak compared to Lord Buddha, I am afraid that everyone will be motivated.

There is no need to go into too much detail about Xiang Yu's feeling of "he can replace him" when he saw the first emperor going out on a tour of honor.

And [Liberation Victory] has not deceived me so far... The words that the Dharma-dwelling recipient has been staring at me have a high probability of being true.

If you don't have enough strength, you will die.

It is a good way to quickly increase one's strength with the help of the Pure Land Sect system.

But what I got was "Liberation wins", but the motto I got was "No Liberation", and the matter of the second anti-smuggling team and Lao Luo's matter. The vague sense of fate made me feel stuck in my throat.

But having said that, becoming stronger is absolutely not harmful to oneself.There is no harm in strengthening oneself faster.

At least for now.

Even if there is a crisis in the future, if I can be stronger, I will have a better chance of winning, but... Maybe I won't survive that time...

Furthermore, this may be able to figure out why I came here, and what the returning fragments are...

So, there is no need to look forward and backward.

It was Wu Qing who looked at the holding bell in his dantian, and thought of the power of surpassing the Buddha Lord, feeling a little disappointed,

"Bing, oh, you're pissed, you're a weasel and a camel, and you'll pick up the big ones..."

Wu Qing then glanced at the old man who was kneeling and shivering on the ground with his apprentice, shook his head, released the dharma body, put away the magic weapon, took out the clothes from the mustard space and tied them up for himself.

The appearance of the dharma body would swell the body and cause the clothes to be damaged. Wu Qing always prepared clothes in her mustard space.

Lao Ji secretly took a look at Wu Qing, looking at the black hair and black eyes, there was a strange brilliance in his eyes, but Wu Qing silently swept him away, and immediately buried his head deeply in panic.

Wu Qing didn't say anything, just said silently,
"Check out [Walker] Cao Zhuo's mission during the inspection period."

"Please note that [Walker] Cao Ang's task event has been captured by [Jie Jie Sheng], and all subsequent tasks will be issued by [Jie Jie Sheng] instead."

Location: Small Thousand Worlds Steam America Western Sierra Nevada Sierra Ridge

Time: 1867

Bloody, fertile, murderous, wild, eerie.

This was the Western era of the United States of America.

The federal government just after the Civil War was ambitious, the cowboys and escorts in the west were rampant, the Indians rose up in blood and tears, the Pacific Railway Company was ambitious, and the Chinese laborers worked hard.

The red coal cannon, the wild revolver, the steam train and the difference engine that conquered the wilderness.

The twisted and bloodthirsty Indian tribal god, the nameless old ruler who is fading, and the fierce and cruel steam soldier.

Catholicism, Yellow Clothes, Mysticism and Ancestral Beliefs.

The Gold Rush and the Expansion of the West.

Central Pacific Railroad, Chinese labor companies, Indian tribes.

Construction and destruction, order and chaos, death and rebirth.

The vast world has a lot to do!
The mission requirements of this pure land event are as follows:
[-]: Obtain three items containing karma, or obtain [-] ticks of karma
Two: Into New Eden

Three: Get at least 5000 taels of gold to worship the withered ancestral beliefs among the Chinese laborers (not limited to gods)
mission rewards:

After the completion of the three tasks, the return channel will be opened (the authority will be taken over by Jie Sheng at that time, and the opened return channel will lead to the seed world, the world of heaven, which is the last world of the holder.)
After completing Cao Zhuo's quest, he will also complete the [Liberation Victory] quest to get the Return Fragment.

Note: A world-specific item [Scary Object] will not be available.Each of the three thousand worlds has unique items, which cannot be taken away, or cannot be used after being taken away.

…………

There are also some materials in this world region below, which were discovered and preserved by other Pure Land practitioners.

After reading it, Wu Qing knew what was going on.

It is said to be a small thousand world, but Wu Qing feels more like the parallel space of the previous world, but one is in 1917 and the other is in 1867, and the regions are also different.

Then look at the task.

Task [-] explained that at least the Pure Land Sect knew what Wu Qing hadn’t figured out about the karma until now. He still had no clue about the “items containing karma”, but if he really encountered it, Jie Jie Sheng would definitely give him to his prompt.

As for obtaining karma for [-] minutes, Wu Qing remembered that when he killed Ruan Min before, Ruan Min summoned [Chu Tongzi Projection] and was destroyed by himself, and gained some karma. Maybe we can start from this aspect.

Mission [-]: New Eden, no idea, but...

Wu Qing glanced at Lao Ji, isn't there a local snake who seems to have some status?
Task three is a bit troublesome, Wu Qing has never bought gold in the Heavenly Dao Realm before.

(Afterwards, the Heavenly Dao Realm will be used uniformly to call the Taoist’s Seed World, and the Pure Land World will be used to call the Walker’s Seed World.)
And according to Wu Qing's reading of other travellers who explored the world, they found that the preserved information shows that the current American currency is still linked to gold.Use a more intuitive unit to explain the concept of 5000 taels of gold: one dollar is equal to 1.6 grams of gold, and 5000 taels of gold is equivalent to 16 U.S. dollars.

In Wu Qing's previous life, it was a lot of money. In 1867, it was an astronomical figure. He could hire [-] Chinese laborers to do the hardest and most tiring work for him for nearly a year.

However, the gold rush in the west is prevailing. There are several large and small gold mines near the Sierra Ridge where Wu Qing is currently...

And generally, the workers of each gold mine will directly refine the gold on the construction site, and then store half a month's mining volume...

Wu Qing put away all the clues, directly pulled a stool and sat down, crossed her legs, folded her arms around her chest, and tilted her head to look at the outfits of the few people on the ground with the help of the shaking candles and beans.

The uniform braids under the red turbans of the several people looked like an eyesore, but their attire was a bit mixed, cardigan jacket with shirt, western-style straight-leg trousers with cloth shoes... the typical attire of Chinese workers.

Looking at the old man with white hair and white beard, Wu Qing asked lightly,
"What's your name? What identity?"

The sound of the wooden stool feet dragging on the ground made the silent Lao Ji and his disciples feel as if they were throwing sandbags in their hearts. They didn't raise their heads tremblingly until they heard Wu Qing's question.

Laoji had long been frightened by the evil gods that came one after another, so that he lost two of his three souls. He was overjoyed when he heard Wu Qing's questioning. It is a good thing to be able to communicate. say something.

And what Wu Qing said was the official language of Gan Guo... Lao Ji immediately replied with trembling lips,

"In terms of adults, the younger one is called Lao Ji, and he is the hero of this Chinese labor camp."

"Oh, Lao Ji, right?"

Wu Qing looked at the six-pointed star and the Big Dipper flag on the altar, with a playful tone,

"The braids are kept so tight, how did the god of worship change?"

"Back to the adults..."

"Sir." Wu Qing said seriously.He asked this question, not to chat, he guessed that it might have something to do with the belief of the ancestors in the mission.

"Yes..." Xu felt that there was something deep in Wu Qing's words, was he blaming?

Laoji's head felt cold for a while, and when he spoke, he poured beans out of a bamboo tube like "cracking" in a panicked tone.

"I don't dare to lie to you, Mr. Hui. It's not like the little one has forgotten his roots after leaving his hometown. It's really separated by mountains and rivers. Emperor Tongming of our country can't control Emperor Johnson of the United States. Naturally, he doesn’t care about the boundaries of the United States. We worship day and night, but he just doesn’t show his spirit, so we changed the altar and the mouth of the chant.”

(Note: Johnson is the No.17 president of the United States)

"You guys are pragmatists."

Wu Qing smiled, her intention was just to make a joke, but she didn't expect Lao Ji to tremble, so Wu Qing couldn't continue joking, went straight to the point, picked the altar with her chin,
"So, the new god you worship has manifested itself?"

"Yes, there were a few times." Lao Ji told the truth.

"How long have you worshiped this new god?" Wu Qing asked.

"Two years."

Wu Qing burst out laughing, "It took two years to worship and only manifested a few times? You're too stingy... Hurry up and remove the altar... Hey, don't remove the flag."

Lao Ji, who quickly wiped off the incense ash and continued to unplug the Beidou flag, froze for a moment, then heard Wu Qing say slowly,
"The flag is a good flag, but it must be replaced by the god of our country."

Lao Ji was startled, and hurriedly cupped his hands, "May I ask your Excellency who is the most sacred?"

"My lord, Doumu Yuanjun is a military commander under his seat."

…………

Doumu Yuanjun is the head of all the stars, and also the mother of the Big Dipper, the Big Dipper flag is just right, but Wu Qing did not dare to say that he is the inheritor, otherwise it would be too ostentatious, so he made up a military general now, which should be enough Use... Didn't you say that it doesn't manifest?Now I will take you by my side every day, and let you see how it manifests.

In fact, Wu Qing does not have so much karma to use [Gensha] to learn English, he needs a translator and guide.

Looking at the undisguised description of various gods in the mission briefing, one knows that strange powers and chaotic gods in this world may be commonplace. Wu Qing doesn't have to worry about being tied to the stake by someone as an oriental wizard.

…………

"Does New Eden know?"

"I haven't heard of it, but I've heard of the Garden of Eden."

"Then who here is most likely to know?"

"Executive director of the railway company here, Crocker."

"Good to see you?"

"It's hard to see. He's not in this construction section, and he has never seen us Chinese. He said that we Chinese are dirty pigs."

"Then who else is most likely to know?" Wu Qing frowned.

Lao Ji squeezed his wrinkled face for a while, "Xiong Hua, the boss of Xiong Hua Labor Service Company, is also in this labor camp."

"lead the way."

Wu Qing took the lead in pushing open the wooden door of the cabin.

Smoke, steam, dust, tinkling iron strikes, and occasional explosions hit our faces.

Looking up, I saw that the red sun was sinking and only a purple fringe remained.

He was in the canyon below the Sierra Ridge, where a huge square depression had been trimmed.

The square depression contained a few scattered wooden huts, and a thousand tents of thin planks and dirty canvas, most of them no more than four feet (1.2 meters) high and six feet ( 1.8 meters) wide, it looks like a groundhog's burrow.People inside can only keep their waists bent.

These tents are the section of the Serra Ridge Road, where three thousand Chinese laborers lived. Although it was already dark, it was far from the time for the Chinese laborers to leave work. There were only a few yellow people wandering among the tents, with a greasy stick hanging from the back of their heads. The braid, the front half of the head reveals a piece of green crab shell.

Look up.

The towering cliffs of the Sierra Ridge are covered with dense black spots like ants. If you look closely, you will find that they are Chinese laborers sitting in baskets made of rattan.

The baskets were hung from the top of the mountain with ropes, and these Chinese laborers were suspended on the cliff 500 feet from the peak and 1200 feet from the canyon.

The hammer struck the chisel with a clang.

Boreholes were drilled by hand, and the Sierra Ridge, which is based on solid granite rock, was blasted open with dynamite, opening a rock passage for laying sleepers.

There are no pile drivers, no excavators, no earth moving vehicles, and no elevators.

Handmade!

If you only look at these, you will not feel the characteristics of the so-called steam and steel age at all.

But if the line of sight moves down again, on the outskirts of the square depression, a stern steam train looks like a black dragon with no head and no tail.

Crouching restlessly on the repaired rails, the hub and the rim are all engraved with patterns, only the lower part of the steel wheel can be seen, which is set in the roller and has not started, but the chimney at the front of the car is still spraying upwards like a spiral. red mist of Mars.

This is the unique characteristic of [red coal block] burning.

A piece of red coal is a kind of fist-sized piece that can release high-efficiency energy comparable to a whole car of coal, and has a ruby-like deep color.

It is the eternal glory, the glorious phoenix of Grace Heaven, the most precious treasure of all wealth, the important property of the whole nature, and it can even activate all solid or weak metals, which makes steam soldiers have possibility exists.

Based on these characteristics, the Europeans call it the 'Sage's Stone' and the 'Gabola Gem'. Only American rednecks who have no cultural background will use the vulgar title of 'Red Coal'.

The train didn't move, but it still spewed mist, because the whole set of motorized devices hidden in the front of the car was running, providing lighting and heat for the eleven cars behind.

These eleven steel carriages are the "camping trains" where the official white employees of the Central Railway Company live.

There are kitchens, telegraph offices, hotels, shops, and bedrooms inside, not even inferior to white people's homes in San Francisco, and can accommodate up to 500 people.

Strobl, the construction supervisor dispatched by the Central Pacific Railway, even brought his wife and children with him and lived in a private carriage specially prepared for him.

While the Chinese laborers were still hanging on the cliffs, the white people were resting and being served in machines with bright metallic colors.

Steam and steel are the characteristics of a civilized society, and in a civilized society, people of the yellow race are not civilized people.

…………

Driven by new energy, most of the entire civilized world has been covered by steam and steel, but what is embarrassing is that the new capital empire on the American continent, the United States of America, is not included.

The high mountains and the vast desert have become the barrier between the east and west of the United States of America.

The dense railway network in the east ends at the Mississippi River, and the sparse airship field also ends at the Mississippi River. There is no railway and airship connection. The vast and fertile western region west of the Mississippi River is in a relatively independent state.

Until 1862, the No.16 President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, signed a bill authorizing the two Pacific Railway companies to jointly build the Pacific Railway across the East and West. Although this plan was temporarily interrupted by the sudden Civil War between the North and the South, two years ago, Immediately after the end of the Civil War, plans for the construction of the Pacific Railroad resumed.

But what is worrying is that the western region to be developed, especially Nevada, which joined the American Federation six years ago, does not have a systematic rail system, and huge cargo airships cannot take off and land in the mountains. Most of the steam Mechanical equipment, larger than the steam train itself, could not be transported by rails to the construction site of the Pacific Railway.

Without the assistance of various steam equipment, the construction progress of the Pacific Railway was frighteningly slow.

It was not until the [Central Pacific Railroad Company], which was responsible for the construction of the Great Salt Lake section from Sacramento to Utah, recruited a full [-] Chinese laborers, that the construction of the project came from Sacramento, the capital of California, to Sierra, Nevada. ridge.
