Chapter 1: The wind and clouds surge one hundred and twenty-three iron horses sing 2

Today, Machikou Village is very lively. The villagers hid from afar and looked at the huge railway locomotives. This thing shocked the villagers when they just arrived. What a big iron guy, what is the use of? This question has been hovering in the minds of the villagers. It was not until a few days ago that the iron horses rumbled on the railway that the villagers realized that it was a guy who could run. I heard that such a big iron guy was going to move again today, and the curiosity of the villagers attracted them.

What makes the villagers feel the most worthwhile is that there are flower drum performances here early in the morning. The sound of the drums and the crisp voices make the villagers smile rarely on their vicissitudes of faces, and their simple smiles are filled with their simple joy.

Near the motorcycle, hundreds of gentry gentry and a group of court officials, were scattering the train. Robert was explaining to the group of gentry garments through the translator. Many people were confused about the principle of motorcycles. As they listened, these people simply looked around and played time below, and a small number of gentry with strong desire for knowledge were asked enthusiastically. It seemed that the explanation of the flower drum opera was much better.

Liu Ji took back the eyes of the group of squire teams mainly from old men and looked back at the old motorcycles lying quietly on the rails. His heart was full of imagination. This "Rocket" motorcycle is really like the head of a tractor, with a large upward chimney in front of its long nose, and the cab is airtight. The iron roller mill under the car is connected to the rails with several rotating shafts. The whole motorcycle is so dark that it makes people feel very simple. There is still a hanging behind the motorcycle.

There is a long carriage. The windows are made of wooden and painted. The seats inside are hard wooden benches. Looking in from the window, the wooden benches are from the front of the car to the rear of the car, long and like two thick lines. There is a wooden handrail in the same length in front of the bench. Since the seats are against the wall of the car, the air in the middle of the carriage looks a little empty. Can such an old-fashioned train reach 56 kilometers? Liu Jibubu was a little suspicious and explained.

After a while, Robert's translator said in front: "Please follow me to the carriage." After that, the translator took a group of gentry to the train. Liu Jie waited for the gentry to get on the train, and also enthusiastically took a group of officials who were accompanying him to get on the train. He walked into the door on the wooden ladder and looked into the carriage. The gentry of 1000 took the train still seemed more than enough.

When everyone saw Liu Jie boarding the train, they all stood up quickly. They shouted unevenly: "Long live the emperor!"

The people around Liu Ji quickly vacate a seat.

Liu Ji shook his arm and said, "You are not polite to be a good friend. The ancients said that after a hundred years of cultivation, I will travel with you on the same boat. Today, I am traveling with you on the same car. It is also my fate with you. Since the fate is here, you are not polite to be a good friend and sit down casually."

After saying that, Liu Ji also sat down on the wooden bench. He looked down. Then he realized that the wooden bench was an iron pod and looked quite strong.

Seeing that both sides of him were empty, Liu Jizhao greeted Robert and Lei Lutai and asked them to sit beside him.

After the two of them sat down beside themselves, Liu Ji said to Robert: "Thank you for your hard work today. I will give you a special title to the Qing Dynasty General Fengen and give you a mansion in the capital." After the translator passed the words to Robert, Liu Ji stopped Robert, who wanted to speak, and continued: "Although he was granted the title of Mr. He. But Mr. He is an exception. Mr. He can freely go to and from both China and Britain. If you want to live in China or not, follow Mr. He."

The translator conveyed Liu Ji's words to Robert, and Robert happily knelt down on one knee, and thanked Liu Ji with the etiquette of King Ying.

At this time, a sharp whistle sound came from the locomotive, and the train blew a little.

Everyone in the carriage was not on guard. The sharp sound and the shaking of the car body made people look like earth. When the car stabilized again, some people were about to get out of the car.

Liu Ji stood up and said loudly, "You are all seven-foot men. Don't you dare to taste the taste of taming an iron horse with me? If you are a man, stay. If you insist on leaving, I will not keep him and let him go." Liu Ji said something, and no one dared to leave. The gentry stayed honestly in the carriage, but some people were holding the handrail tightly. He looked miserable.

At this time, the motorcycle started to shake again. Robert muttered to the translator, and the translator stood up and said, "The train is about to start. Please don't be afraid. Before this trip, we have tried many times. The train is very safe, but it just shakes a little while driving. It doesn't matter. You just need to grab the handrail."

Not long after, a loud creaking sound came out in the carriage and slowly began to move, and the rumbling sound began to sound from a slow rhythm.

At this time, the soldiers guarding both sides of the railway tracks watched in surprise as the huge iron horse began to breathe slowly and rhythmically. After a while, large black smoke spewed out from the chimney in front of the iron horse. The sound of the iron horse became louder and louder. Finally, the iron horse began to move. The iron wheel under its feet turned and made a huge sound on the railway track. As the iron wheel turned quickly, the iron horse ran. Under the traction of the front of the car, the train drove out of the locomotive management office and ran happily in the preset direction ahead. A thick black smoke was left along the way floating above the sky. The footprints of industrial ** finally came to China. Although its arrival also brought thick smoke and dust, after all, it was coming. China now must come.

The wind blew on his face, and Liu Ji stood up from his seat and looked at the mountains, rivers, and fields that were constantly retreating around him. He said loudly to Lei Lutai beside him: "Old Lei, what will this thing bring to China?"

"According to Laoji, the canal transportation can be cancelled. The transactions in various places will become bigger and bigger, the border will become more and more stable, and the goods will become faster and faster from production to sales."

Lei Lutai's words fluttered in the whistling wind, and two balls of flames seemed to burn in his eyes. Obviously, he had not finished speaking, and he could not finish the benefits of the train.

The gentry who had never seen a train were all surprised to experience the bumps and moving quickly on the train. Everything was so amazing. After more than ten minutes of starting, someone asked in surprise: "Isn't this iron horse carrying so many people tired? Should I let the iron horse stop and feed him some grass to rest?"

These words made the officials on the train laugh. After a long period of inculcating common sense in trains, the officials knew more than the gentry. Someone replied: "Iron Horse eats black stones. You can look out and see, the black smoke is the iron horse's spanking.

The man leaned out to look, then retracted and said, "If this is true, you must be a very good thing to eat stones." This made everyone laugh again.
