 I have dreamed of building a railroad track for many years.

 I decided to make it not by ordinary construction, but by magic, just like roads.

 I have not made it into a spell yet, but I will make it into a spell this time, and I am thinking of extending the line to various places by other knights of Barca.

 So, basically, we are going to lay the tracks in a straight line just like roads.

 Moreover, we have decided to build a really simple single-track line, without any devices to switch between tracks.

 The land where the new line will be laid is determined, and the knights of Barca who have preceded the project will first clear the land.

 Then, the track is laid straight from Vulcania to Dreslina for the time being.

 The Reed family has calculated the line to be straight without any deviations by using balloons and airships to check it from the sky in advance, so that it can go in the direction of Dreslina without any mistakes.

 Once that happened, I put my hands on the ground and sent magic power into the airship.

 Using my magic power, I lay a rail using the soil on the ground.

 In fact, I had already made a rail before, and I had memorized it with [Memory Storage], so I was able to make it right away.

 The rails had been made in Vulcania before.

 It is located in a forest preserve in the forest north of Vulcania, which has been systematically cut down by lumberjacks.

 In order to transport the cut timber to Balkania with ease, rails were built on which wheels could be rolled to move the timber.

 The rails were then used to build the tracks.

 The tracks were built in such a way that they would not be easily broken even if an earthquake occurred again.

 For this purpose, the soil under the ground is transformed into a floor made of hardened bricks.

 The ground is designed to be slightly rounded, just as it was when building the road, so that water will flow into the ditches on either side when it rains.

 Then, rails are built on such a foundation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 This is also to be made of hardened bricks.

 The hardened bricks used for the rails, however, have a polished surface that is smoother than that of conventional roads.

 When the road was made of hardened bricks, once the hardened bricks were polished to a mirror-like finish, it slid like a skating rink.

 It was especially bad when it rained and got wet.

 It was too slippery, and although it looked beautiful, it became a very dangerous path for walking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Therefore, the completed road was made to be a somewhat rough and non-slippery cobblestone pavement.

 But if it is a rail, it is possible to make it more slippery and reduce the frictional resistance.

 Without any deviation, the track with two straight I-shaped rails appeared on the ground by my magic.

 If I have to make a curve, I'll make a steel rail for that part.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 For the time being, I will make a spell so that I can make this straight rail track.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Thus, with my hands on the ground, I made straight rails and moved forward and forward.

"Boy, we've got a train on the tracks. We can start the trial run anytime."

 Straight track leading from Vulcania to Dreslina.

 When it is completed, the magic of making the track has not yet been cast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 But we decide to stop making the track and let the train run on its rails.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 When the old man says that the train is ready, I give the order to start the train.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Hearing this, the train starts to move smoothly on the tracks.

 However, although I use the word "train," it is nothing like the trains I have seen in my previous life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Or rather, this is what is called "horse-drawn railroad," which I have not actually seen in my previous life.

 I decided to use the power of Valkyrie to power the train that runs on the tracks I built.

 Since I had taken the trouble to build the tracks and create an environment where trains could run, I really wanted to build a steam locomotive using flame ore and a train using magic steel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 However, it was difficult to do so under the current circumstances.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 It is not only a technical problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 The bottleneck was the fact that both flame ore and magic steel are too excellent as materials for weapons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 What would happen if these precious materials, which can be used to make rare weapons such as magic swords that emit fire and lightning, were to come and go on the limited travel routes of railroad tracks?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 It would surely be targeted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 The strategic material was too valuable to be used as a power source for the train.

 So, Valkyries were used to power the train.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Compared to my image of a train, I am not satisfied with the load capacity of the Valkyrie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 But I think it's OK for now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 At least, by utilizing rails, the same Valkyrie has succeeded in transporting a large amount of goods more easily than pulling a cart.

 Moreover, by making the rail track separate from the normal road, there are no pedestrians or other wagons to hinder the movement, which makes the movement much more efficient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 It can be said that the travel from Vulcania to Dreslina has become much easier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 The trial run was completed without any problems and with good results.

 Afterwards, another line will be built for the return trip to Vulcania and another line from Dreslina to the town of Fontana.

 While building the line, the team also tried to identify problems and make improvements.

 And so, while building up the tracks, he manages to make them into a spell.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Thus, the knights of Barca were able to use the new spell [Lay Tracks], and new transportation routes were constructed to various parts of the Fontana territory.
