"A rail-road? What is a 'rail'? A new technology to develop, Father? Do you have a draft of it?" Re

Even with the smallest rails that were reasonable to make, it would take 25 kilograms of iron for a meter of the railway.

And Camp Rich was 540 kilometers away from Hive Supremo. *Maybe*, because the distance was counted based on the speed of a bee's flight, and this I just estimated by squinting really hard.

'For all I know, the actual railway will take twice as much iron. It could be used on tools instead,' I thought, frowning. 'Then again… We can just get more of it!'

Humans were out there somewhere, and they had it all.

The first Beehounds were already powdered with morphotyping pheromone. In a month, they will fly out to seek the scent of humans.

I had nothing personal against them, but they had what the Bee Empire needed. And the Bee Empire had what they wanted, so I'd rather attack preemptively next time.

It only took three days for Researcher Bees to make a prototype of the rails and wheeled carts.

The first railway was made from wood, and the first cart was just the most basic wooden cart possible, held together by golden nails. It barely needed inventing, since it was a part of the Early Bronze Age technologies—as soon as my girls understood what my words mean, they built the test version.

Both constructions looked like they could fall apart at any moment, but near them, Researcher Bees were crawling around, searching for ways to improve them.

Brainpower requirement: 25000

Logistics: +200 per 1 thousand affected populace.

We barely had enough brainpower for the railway, but we had it.

Looking at the prototypes and the techs they unlocked, I estimated the resulting bonuses in my head.

With how many bees lived in Hive Supremo and Camp Rich, I could tell that the railway was going to double our logistics! And for a good reason.

There was just one *smaaaaall* problem that separated me from my shiny new railway…
