"It's okay. Anyway, after a while, after watching too much, they won't have so many people coming to join in the fun." I waved my hand and smiled. There were indeed a little more people, and today they even brought a large number of guards, just for fear of something happening. Now it seems that at least the people like to watch the fun, they are very disciplined.

After a while, we finally heard a long whistle sound. We were all waiting in the VIP room and walked out of the hall. A rumbling sound came from the distance. Looking at us, we could see a black and red front of the car approaching, and thick white smoke was always spitting out above the front of the car.

The closer you get, the louder the sound, and the fierce momentum of the steam locomotive is really daunting. The steam spewed out makes the train and even the station feel like floating in a fairyland.

After the train approached the station, the speed had dropped. He slowly drove to the front and entered the platform. In front was the front of the steam locomotive and a carriage dedicated to pulling coal and water, and behind, there were five brown carriages with glass windows hanging, which were very beautiful, at least it gave me a very fresh feeling. Moreover, there was a long license plate outside each carriage, which also stated the name of the starting station and the end station.

There is almost no big difference from the later carriages in my memory. However, the surface is not green-skinned, but brown, because the surface of the carriage is covered with pure natural and pollution-free paint, rather than paint produced by later chemicals. Moreover, when the train station is parked, the platform and the entrance and exit of the carriage are almost flush, and the gap between them is very small, so people will not accidentally fall down.

The crowd had a commotion, but it quickly subsided, but the noisy sound even overwhelmed the roar of the train steam.

Our group followed the platform and headed behind the train. At this time, some people saw our group, and some even recognized me, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. Then, the crowd quickly became quiet and the people all bowed to the ground.

I could only stop and comfort me, and then I entered the carriage. I saw rows of seats in the carriage, although they were still made of wooden, but they were painted and looked very refreshing. In addition, there was a small square table between each row to facilitate people to place things or food.

"Your Majesty, the carriage is two meters high, three meters wide, and twenty-two meters long. Each carriage has a total of 118 seats. In addition, each carriage has a fire boiler to facilitate passengers' drinking water. There is also a toilet at both ends of the bus carriage. In addition, each carriage has an escort to ensure the safety of the train..." The warrior walked in the front, while walking, introducing the situation of this brown-skinned carriage.

Well, it's a lot better than that. And with the window glass, I felt the roar of steam coming from inside the car. Because the sound insulation is made everywhere in the car, the felt wool is used, and the effect is not much worse than the sound insulation cotton.

After walking for almost a quarter of an hour, I came out of the car and returned to the VIP room. Next, I started to let people enter the station and take the bus. Fortunately, each passage was strictly controlled.

In addition, there is a guard outside the door of each carriage, and each passenger enters the carriage according to the ticket number. In less than a cup of tea, all the passengers have already entered the carriage. On the platform, there are many people coming to see off and people join in the fun to enjoy the train.

As the red flag waved, the train's whistle sounded again and then began to move forward slowly. As the steam locomotive gradually moved away, my young master's heart almost flew towards the north with the train.

"When do you think you will be back?" Li Xuanba asked in a low voice to Luo Shixin beside him.

"Didn't the Secretary of State Wu say it just now? You can return to Chang'an in six and a half hours." Luo Shixin blanched at Li Xuanba, his eyes as if he was looking at the mentally retarded.

"How about we guys bet together?" Li Xuanba disagreed and put his hands on Luo Shixin's shoulder and raised his eyebrows at the guy. "I think it's only six hours at most."

"Stop talking, can Secretary Wu still fool us?" Luo Shixin curled his lips.

"Okay, don't make a fuss, husband, can you really arrive in six and a half hours?" Yao Guang's girl glared at these two guys, and Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba immediately shut up. Luo Shixin's relationship with Li Xuanba is now like wearing the same pair of pants. However, because of this reason, Luo Shixin's courage also tends to move closer to Li Xuanba when facing Yao Guang.

"It should be possible. Now it's Chen Shichu, let's do it. After six hours, let's come back and see if you can really go back and forth in six and a half hours." I also wanted to know the ending, and after looking at the drip, I said to the ministers.

Everyone is also very much looking forward to it. Six hours are not long or short. When it starts at Chen hour, it will be exactly six hours. Xu hour is between 7 and 9 pm.

After returning to the palace, I handled the official duties for a day, and after having a working meal with a minister in the palace, I once again left Chang'an City and headed straight to the train station. The journey was not far, and after leaving the city, I only walked for ten minutes, and arrived in just three or five minutes by carriage.

However, the warrior had arrived early. He, the Shangshu, who was responsible for transportation and road construction, was probably more nervous than us whether the train could arrive in Chang'an on time.

After arriving here, we continued to wait in the VIP room that had not yet been opened. At this time, it was already the beginning of the Xu hour. A group of people sat in the VIP room, siping incense tea and bragging, while waiting for the return of the train.

Time passed by one by one, but just when he arrived at the moment of Xu, he heard a faint roar from afar. At this time, Li Yuanfang, who looked excited, rushed in from outside the room. "Young Master, the train is back."

Damn, I immediately threw a handful of good cards in my hand on the table and stood up and stride out. Sure enough, in the distance, under the sky gradually faded, you could see a light illuminating. The spewing steam was radiating in the night, revealing a magnificent sound of the train. The roar of the train became louder and louder, indicating that the train was getting closer and closer.

After a while, under the illumination of the standing horse lantern, the train spitted hot steam and stopped in front of the station platform. Among the people who got off the bus, there were many people who just got on the train early this morning to test the train.

Many of them came to Chang'an by train from Yan'an. Looking at the passengers who got off the train, and those merchants who were qualified to take the test ride, were excitedly gestured to each other, and they didn't know what they were communicating.

Anyway, it must be a good thing, and they should be able to see the benefits of the emergence of steam locomotives for them.

Soon, more than a dozen technicians who took this train to Yan'an from Chang'an and returned from Yan'an were called to inquire.

According to what they said, the speed of the train is indeed fast enough, and it can even reach about ten miles faster than on the test site every hour, which means that it will travel 230 miles per hour. It takes less than 700 miles from Chang'an to Yan'an, so the train took less than three hours to arrive in Yan'an.

After that, the inspection of coal and water addition in Yan'an took nearly half an hour to start, so after counting this, it took less than three hours per way.

I am very satisfied, but today is the trial operation. In the next half month, high-intensity non-manned tests will be adopted. Well, in fact, it is to stuff the bus carriage back to the warehouse and start to pull goods. There are a lot of military supplies in Chang'an that need to be transported to Yan'an. Now that we have this thing, when driving experimentally, we can naturally transport goods by the way.

After that, I ran for five consecutive days, running on the railway for ten hours a day. I had to conduct a mechanical inspection every day, and there were only some minor problems and no major faults. After maintenance, I started running again.

After almost half a month of trial operation, we finally concluded that the train could indeed become the main transportation link for the Chinese Empire in the future. It is very convenient to use cement straight roads and railways in parallel.

Based on the success of the trial period, the technicians came to the conclusion after a lot of calculations that future steam locomotives still have great room for improvement in terms of transportation capacity and speed.

At present, the six-type locomotive front has been developed and has been tested many times. It is expected that it can be towed ten to twelve bus carriages or truck carriages. Well, of course, this is not the limit. I remember that later generations once visited Luogang with the town secretary. At that time, Luogang had four steam locomotives. According to the driver, a steam locomotive can pull up to more than 30 cargoes at a time, and 2,800 tons of cargo. However, it transports more and eats more. It will burn twelve tons of coal for 24 hours of operation.

As for why it took off so quickly like the Great Leap Forward, it is because I, a time traveler who knows the principles of the steam engine and has also seen steam locomotive structures, and we do not engage in private development like those Western barbarians, and we often lack funds, materials and venues.

Whether it is raw materials or technicians, they have already concentrated the top ones in the world. In addition, with the supply and incentives of my son at all costs, they can make such rapid progress. Because I know how much the steam engine and steam locomotive will play in promoting social progress.

More than 80% of these technical staff who study and manufacture steam locomotives come from the Institute of Technology at the Royal College. They have already fallen in love with the sense of accomplishment brought by this job. In the future, they will invent and create more and better machinery.
