Chapter 72

“Woo…”

Everyone is very familiar with the sound of the whistle. The captains of warships and cargo ships using "fuel steam engines" like to honk the whistle all the time when they enter and leave the port, as if they are afraid that others will not know. They are driving the fastest ship in the world.**--*

But when the whistle sounded inland and dragged many cars on the long railway, everyone around cheered, including Zhao Fubo. Railways are especially precious for the "Huaxia Empire". As a vast land "Huaxia Empire" transportation, it is not enough to just rely on horse and carriages and shipping. And since there are enough "fuel and steam engines", the train is a project that can be discussed.

"I'm waiting for you now. When will you take Lin'an, when will we pave the railway. First, pave in a flat place, and then go deep into the vicinity of Chang'an and the Sichuan Basin. This is a big project that has been done for decades, and you..."

"I said to Teacher Martin, I'm going to go to war. You'd better leave this to your daughter. I... I don't care! My purpose of coming here..."

The success of the train test is accumulated in dozens of failures. If Martin hadn't remembered Zhan Tianyou's design back then, he didn't know how long it would take to get it done. The train sounds simple, but it is not easy to rely on a group of high school students to do it. But the facts also prove that as long as you think hard, there will be results.

Martin gave Zhao Fubo a blank look. He didn't know what Zhao Bubo wanted. Especially when he saw that this guy was not very concerned about building the country, Martin was not very satisfied.--)

"No! Do you think that thing is a carriage, but you can make it. And don't think about it, that thing costs more than ten tons of steel per car. Do we have that much steel? Some serious steel needs to be built on railways, so how can there be more for you to play with..."

Hearing the teacher Zhao Fubo's face, he felt embarrassed. What he wanted was nothing more than tanks and other things. Martin had no favoritism. It was not that weapons and equipment were not important to Martin, but that the "Huaxia Empire" was in an important period of transformation at this moment. Although it was inevitable that war would be dangerous, he could not use all his industrial capabilities to develop the production of military equipment.

Moreover, among the weapons supplied by various countries, many bronze-made ones are about to be eliminated. The next step is naturally to open the supply of continuous fire guns to the world after the Qincha Khanate conquered Japan. It is not that Zhao Fubo did not know about these things, but that he had an inexplicable obsession with new weapons.

"Teacher Martin..."

Zhao Fubo delayed his voice and probably wanted to scatter in front of Teacher Martin. Maybe the teacher would start a project team if he was soft-hearted? Martin was not fooled by Zhao Fubo. At this time, the people in the "Royal Academy of Sciences of the Chinese Empire" were tight.

Just think about it, with the "fuel steam engine", how many machinery is planned to be manufactured? Not to mention, machine processing is just about turning, milling, planing, grinding, drilling, etc. waiting for manufacturing. Moreover, the production lines for producing other products are even more huge. Although there is a machining factory now, increasing the longitude is always the responsibility of the "Royal Academy of Sciences of the Huaxia Empire".

"No, now the lancers and artillery are enough. If you continue to develop, the army will only need more familiar weapons and equipment and more things to study. So, you should use your lancers well. If other countries have no breakthrough in military technology, that's it for the time being! Seriously, when will you go to Lin'an? All of our things are ready!"

Zhao Fubo sighed to the sky, why do all these people ignore their feelings at all? This constant training on Zhoushan Island made him feel a little overwhelmed. But at least the army is ready now, and he really needs to move.

Faced with Teacher Martin's questioning, he had to nod his head randomly.

"It's almost there, we'll do it when the people who return to Limantan arrive!"

After the train just whistled, it stored enough air and began to move forward slowly. The huge crank connecting rod mechanism turned the linear movement into a circular movement with the movement of the piston. When the entire car was manually moved, it also made a "boom" collision sound, and then the entire train moved together.

It is just walking on a road of about 10 kilometers built by the "Royal Academy of Sciences of the Chinese Empire". It is mainly to verify the long-term operation of the "fuel steam engine" and the reliability of the boiler. Although such a "fuel steam engine" shows good performance on marine use, some modifications were still made after the conversion. The current experiment is to build the first steam engine railway of mankind on the "homeland of China" in the future.

At the same time, a large number of roads have to be built. Although only horse-drawn carriages are easy to walk on at present, I believe that in 10 years, the "Huaxia Empire" that can refine various oil materials will have various vehicles. Although there are carriages and bicycles running everywhere in the city at this moment, a train will definitely be a good start.

"The head of the Academy of Sciences may have a relatively large proportion of research on people's livelihood in recent years, and we have to be more advanced in warships and weapons and equipment. So... but I have told my father that he did not pay enough attention to the research of the military, so..."

As Martin's stepdaughter, Shi Xuerong knew a little about the research progress of the Academy of Sciences and explained it to him quietly next to Zhao Fubo. After all, Zhao Fubo is the king of a country. Although his father Martin still scolded him as a student, Zhao Fubo also looked at him with a natural look, but Shi Xuerong was not very happy.

Martin was a little dizzy. He was a guy who knew how to darling his daughter. As soon as his daughter said that, he sighed.

"Hey, everything is a matter of fear, I'm afraid there will be traitors at home!"

"Father……"

Shi Xuerong grabbed Martin's sleeve and looked like a spoiled child.

"Ah, okay! I will pay attention, and I will also ask them to speed up the attack. Xuerong is finally OK. I said, "You, your arms are just twitching when you get married, and be careful to be polio!"

When Shi Xuerong was acting coquettishly, Zhao Fubo quickly took out a cigar to respect Martin. Although the "Royal Academy of Sciences of the Chinese Empire" was an institution directly supported by the royal family of the "Huaxia Empire", the royal family did not have the right to order them to study anything. It was comprehensively evaluated by the "National Development Committee" in the institution based on the development of the country.

"Don't worry about my baby girl, 10% can't be more!"
