Chapter 129 There is a monster

? "What kind of monster is this?"

Not only Zhang Wenqian and Xianglian, but Liu Qian had such questions, but even Hassan and He Qi also had such questions.--. If a modern person saw it, he would definitely laugh. Because it was a simple "fuel steam engine".

The structure inside is not complicated, it is just some copper tubes containing water. The fuel is then sprayed in and burned continuously to heat the water in the copper tube to generate steam. The steam drives the piston to move, and the piston drives the crank connecting rod mechanism outside.

In principle, a "fuel steam engine" is such a simple thing. But it is definitely not easy to build in this era. And what is important is that Martin only provides the principles and points out the direction. All of these come from the hands of the crazy scholars and those skilled craftsmen like the madman Iva.

During the entire process of development, Martin found that later generations had some exaggerated rumors about the current scholars. Although they had a very deep understanding of some aspects, in terms of their knowledge level, in the eyes of those who have learned the complete set of "number-transformation" in the future, there are inevitably many fallacies.

But the craftsmen's abilities surprised Martin. I remember that in the initial development on the Island of Ferai, many tools and machinery were realized under the simple tools in the hands of craftsmen. Although they lacked considerable theoretical knowledge, their ability to do things was much more brilliant than that of Martin, the future people.

Scholars and craftsmen are like brains and limbs in Martin's eyes. Without scholars' theoretical thinking and exploration, new theories and new ideas cannot be produced. But without the efforts of craftsmen, there will be no realistic products.

From a certain perspective, the success of the "Royal Academy of Sciences of the Chinese Empire" actually comes from the beneficial combination of scholars and craftsmen. The emergence of the "fuel steam engine" in front of us is actually the direction and concept proposed by Martin, which was completed by the combination of scholars and craftsmen at this time.

The locomotive with the "fuel steam engine" is currently under intense installation. The location is under Liu Qian's control and Zhao Xu's own territory is quietly carried out. Hassan has transported these equipment and some of the ammunition to the place through the merchants from Goryeo. After all, the Mongolian Khanate is an extremely sparsely populated place, and it is really easy and simple to hide something.

Therefore, all preparations are for the rapid attack of the "Chinese Army" after the weather warms up next year. Four locomotives like this have been transported, and they are now in the slow assembly process.

As for the carriage, everything else except the chassis is made here. In the past few years of training, the processing ability of the craftsmen under Zhao Xu has improved a lot. For this reason, Hassan also brought in a complete set of hand-made processing tools from the "Huaxia Empire". This has greatly improved their processing ability. If this is not the case, how could the craftsmen under Zhao Xu produce those continuous shooting muskets?

"I really don't know, this guy assembled is like a beast!"

He Qi doesn't have to sing opposite Hassan as he usually does. The views he expressed are the common point of view of everyone.

"It's a pity that he's here, if not, or we can still try it, I can't wait!"

Liu Qian was now completely rebelling against the "Huaxia Empire" because of his relationship with Xianglian. Although he knew that he could not lead troops in the future, he might not become a high-ranking official. But there was no problem with being a Zuguweng, and Liu Qian had nothing to choose from.

The person who was in charge of the assembly was an engineer from the "Huaxia Empire". He was wearing thin canvas on the outside and duck down and velvet lined inside. But after working for a long time at this moment, he had already thrown his coat aside.

Judging from his age, he is not very old, but his engineering experience is very experienced. He came from the first group of children in the Science and Technology Park who learned modern "mathematics, physics and chemistry" and can now stand alone. Most of the people at his hands are craftsmen under Zhao Xu. Although Zhao Xu has been rewarding them continuously, these people are more willing to follow the arrangements of the "Huaxia Empire".

Hearing Liu Qian's words, he turned his face and laughed.

"Try it, I'm afraid that with a whistle, it will be heard dozens of miles away. If you want to try it, I'm afraid it's time to get closer!"

His words made everyone disagree. After all, no one here has heard the sound of the whistle full of air pressure. The entire locomotive is now located on a section of railway tracks, and behind it, there are also the carriages of the armored trains that are already installed.

They all use thin steel plates as shells and are filled with some "cloths" woven from steel wire, silk and glass silk. Although it cannot block the shells, it has absolute protection against the continuous fire muskets under Zhao Xu. Moreover, the gun positions for installing artillery and shooting holes have been reserved on these armored vehicles.

When moving, the two locomotives, one forward and one backward, push and pull. This can make up 30 trains move rapidly and have quite fierce firepower. When the "Chinese Army" arrives here, they can immediately approach forward under the cover of the armored train. On both sides of the railway, there are only some small posts such as bunkers, which can almost guard the entire railway.

I believe that no matter the cavalry or anything else, there is no way to stop such a steel dragon. The two iron armored trains on the inverted "V" shape will form a strong line of defense so that the "Chinese Army" can advance quickly in the middle.

Looking at this huge locomotive like a monster, everyone felt that the day before the war was over was not far away. The bitter grudges of the Zhao brothers who had been with each other for decades were about to be resolved. Although the outcome was decided in everyone's hearts at this moment, it seemed that there would be no result without a decisive battle.

Xianglian and Liu Qian looked at the same stern but showed their momentum in the locomotive. Both of them were glad that they had chosen the right path after all.

"Everyone, the matter here must be absolutely confidential. No one except us should let them know."

Before leaving here, He Qi reminded everyone. Hassan didn't say a word because he was more familiar with human nature than He Qi. If anyone among the few people chooses Zhao Xu at this moment, he would be a complete fool!

Sure enough, only Liu Qian responded.

"Don't worry, we know how to do it!" Please come to see if there are no ads on the first release--.
