Untitled chapter
In mid-autumn autumn, an article titled "The Reiki Locomotive is about to be Trial" quickly spread in Yu Country.
According to the article, Dr. Su Feng's team of the Academy has developed a mechanical vehicle powered by spiritual energy. It can drag cargo much heavier than the body and drive long-range at a speed comparable to a galloping horse.
And today is the day for the trial run of the spiritual locomotive.
To the west of Chang'an, Baqiao Station.
As a major transportation route to and from Chang'an City, it is called a post station, which is similar to a market.
On both sides of the road with a wide range of ten carriages, there are dense buildings, including restaurants, residences, and entertainment hotels. Of course, the most common one is a warehouse for storing and transporting goods.
"Dear guests, iced fermented glutinous rice."
The fat shopkeeper of the restaurant carefully pushed the door and walked into the wing room on the third floor, and gently placed the wooden food box on the table.
The young girls chatting in the room were dressed in gorgeous clothes and wore gold, silver and jade all over their bodies, obviously either rich or noble.
The children of Chang'an yamen who often come out to play will bring guards, ranging from a few to a dozen.
Those who do not bring entourage like this may be disciples of the academy.
"Please trouble the shopkeeper."
Li Ang lifted the lid of the food box, took out the porcelain bowl of fermented glutinous rice from it, and distributed it to his companions.
Seeing that the restaurant shopkeeper was still standing there, he asked casually: "Is there anything else?"
The restaurant shopkeeper came to his senses, "Well, it's okay, the weather is hot, do you guys need ice basins?"
The so-called ice basin means placing a large piece of ice in two nested copper basins to emit cold air to lower the room temperature.
"No need to worry, we can just use this."
Li Ang shook his head, took out a cool breeze talisman and stuck it on the table, and a cool breeze blew immediately in the room.
It turns out that he is a disciple of the school.
The shopkeeper's heart moved. The price of a basin of ice was only 200 ci, while the price of a cool breeze talisman that could only be written by a high-level talisman master in the Tingyu Realm was as high as 200 ci.
For the sake of a moment of coolness, people who can throw out two hundred coins without blinking their eyes, even like cold street drinks like iced fermented glutinous rice.
The restaurant shopkeeper left the room and gently pulled the door, smacking his lips with some anxiety.
I always feel that the appearance of this young man is somewhat similar to the withered image in the Temple of Medicine King. Could it be that he is really the one who is famous all over the world?
The shopkeeper slapped his forehead and quickly asked the restaurant clerk to borrow a portrait of the little medicine king god from his neighbor's house.
If the one in the wing room is really Li Xiaolangjun, he would have to put away the bowl of fermented glutinous rice today - something used by the Little Medicine King God, which can bless children and women.
"Hehe, Risheng, you have become a holy monk now. Even someone is rushing to ask for the bowl."
Yang Yu joked: "If you have any bad pots, pans, pens, ink, paper and inkstones in your home in the future, don't throw them away, keep them for me to bring them to collect them."
"Go! Go! Go."
Li Ang rolled his eyes.
Due to the progress of people's hygiene concepts in recent years, coupled with the widespread application of new drugs such as penicillin, artemisinin, and allicin, the rate of child death has dropped significantly, and there have been more and more temples of the Medicine King spontaneously built by the people in various prefectures.
.
Li Ang himself hoped to build fewer temples, build more ward workshops, and train more doctors.
"Here you come."
He Fanshuang took a sip of the fermented rice glutinous rice and looked out the window.
Just listening to the sound of firecrackers and the sound of gongs and drums, a huge steel creature slowly sailed from the corner of the street.
It is two people tall and nearly three meters long, and the main body is a boiler in the shape of a cylindrical body.
A chimney is supported above the boiler, and behind it is a steam engine that converts steam energy into mechanical energy. It is composed of complex components such as steam chambers, cylinders, and pistons. It connects six on the left and right sides of the vehicle, with a total of twelve drive wheels.
.
The wheels are connected by connecting rods.
"Haotian is on top,"
Li Wei took a deep breath and almost choked by the small ice in the fermented glutinous rice dumplings, "Is this aura locomotive? So big? How much steel does it take to use and how much does it cost?"
Steel? Steel is only a small part of the cost. The main body of the spiritual energy machine alone costs 600,000 yuan.
Li Ang said silently in his heart.
Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, he was still excited to see the giant beast-like steel mechanical creature appearing in his sight.
"Everyone be careful."
The Academy's Seminary Teacher Ou Zhiyuan, who was following the spiritual locomotive, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and shouted loudly to his companions.
The spiritual locomotive is too heavy and heavy, and it will easily sink into the rammed earth road, and even the bluestone road surface and cement road surface cannot bear it.
Therefore, only a dozen psychic teachers from the Academy can work together to release their mind power and drive across the streets with it.
A large number of Chang'an citizens who were watching the fun followed behind.
A dark head also poked out from the windows on both sides of the market street.
Bang!
Accompanied by the dull sound, the front part of the spiritual locomotive was placed in the railway tracks laid on the shore of Bashui.
“Go into the car!”
Ou Zhiyuan shouted, and the scholars pushed the spiritual locomotive forward for a distance, brought six iron carriages with wheels, and connected them in pairs through the hook.
Several teams of hardworking men moved grain, oil, cloth, tea and wine and other goods out of the warehouse and transported them into the carriage. They even led a few cows and horses, blindfolded their eyes and led them into the carriage.
"Is this testing load?"
In the restaurant, Ji Linglang frowned slightly.
"Well, the Aura Locomotive is expensive. If it cannot be better than the carriage fleet, it will be meaningless."
Li Ang said: "In addition to comparing the load with the carriage convoy, it is also comparing the speed."
As he said, on the official road not far from the Aura Locomotive, there are three carriages and three horses parked - they will be used as a comparison group to compare with the Aura Locomotive.
"call..."
After everything was ready, Dr. Su Feng stood at the front of the car, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and slowly and firmly pulled down the pull rod.
Buzz!
The magic cloud talisman pattern on the surface of the spiritual machine appears, and the bright light appears.
Fierce heat waves, generated in the boiler,
When water vaporizes when it encounters heat, the expansion steam pushes the piston violently, and passes through the connecting rod and rocker, and rotates the wheels of the locomotive.
Clang! Clang!
Accompanied by the regular sound, the heavy front of the car slowly moved forward.
The onlookers couldn't help but exclaim when they saw the huge machine moving forward.
But there was also a little ridicule in the exclamation - the carriage and horses that set out at the same time had already galloped wildly and rushed far ahead of the motorcycle.
Even on a tall building, many of the court ministers who came to watch the ceremony frowned - at such a slow speed, even mules could not compete with horses.
However, the ridicule didn't continue for too long.
The clanging sound of the motorcycle became more and more rapid.
