That whole slope thing to give it speed is kinda convoluted for nothing.
The first trains were as fast as a person walking; they became the most amazing transportation devices not because they were fast but because people didn't have to walk themselves and without the weight limits animals have.
Now imagine being able to commute 600km in a single day or whatever, which this fictional train can do: the slow start is irrelevant.

I can smell trouble coming from Giorgi for the next few chapters. People like him never really learn their lesson or disappear in this manga :haa:

solving friction like that also means that you end up with some really dinged up parts after a while since they are still... well... experiencing friciton.

Another issue with having this as the sole solution to the slow start problem is that emergency stops happen. If this solution is needed in the first place it can't exactly be a case of "oh it takes an hour to get up to speed without this" since like GipoScribatino said that'd be completely irrelevant for a 600KM-in-a-day revolution.

Yeah even in Japan it took 90 years between the first train and the bullet train. But of course we need to skip the tech ladder, this is an isekai.

I actually like the slope system, but I think it needs some more track at the end for emergency breaking, so it doesn't hit a wall if things go badly.

I can think of a few counterweight methods that they can use to power the cable that pulls it up the slope, so I'm curious as to what they decided.

The entire project desperately needs an engineer to fill in for Miyabi's knowledge gaps.
Maybe the writer'll pull one out of the aether some time after it's all running, and justify it as the sheer publicity of the project attracting the attention of people with talent and an interest in the mechanical. Maybe it'll be the tower itself that attracts their attention. One can certainly hope.

Also, with people apparently collapsing from enchantment fatigue, I wonder if they've tested how many wind blocks it takes for a roundtrip. Would be a shame if it turned out they couldn't keep up and had to helplessly watch their wind stockpile shrink in the coming weeks.

I assume it's not to scale... but it's a train, so you can just toss it off its rails with catch points if you want help stopping it over a short distance.

I was also curious to see the workings of the towers, but I suppose it'll be revealed later. I guess it's like those dock tower hydraulic accumulators.

Reminder that Miyabi is an architect in a game world, not a real world engineer. Imagine someone who only makes aesthetic builds in minecraft, trying to build things IRL with only their existing knowledge base.
