411 The Datang Technology Tree Entering the Fork Road
Early the next morning, Queen Changsun and Wu Zhao, who had stayed at Qinwangzhuang last night and did not go back, came to the train station together.
Li Er did not stay because the man of the house was not here. This is a courtesy!
There were four women accompanying Empress Changsun. One was naturally Princess Mingyue Wu Zhao, the other was Princess Cui Yingying of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, and the last one was Princess Jin Deman of Silla.
But the last person caused countless exclamations from the onlookers.
Because she was a middle-aged woman dressed in commoner clothes, and she looked like a civilian woman in both her dress and behavior.
Who is this woman?
Ma Yuan's mother, because Ma Yuan successfully completed the steam engine in forty-five days, this was the honor given by Empress Changsun after Wu Zhao asked for instructions, and she was also named the seventh-grade imperial concubine.
"Queue up, from Commercial Association Street to Mingdemen, one-way VIP ticket costs ten cents, ordinary ticket four cents, and service ticket two cents!"
Someone shouted at the entrance.
At least there will be no crowding in the Tang Dynasty now. Hundreds of guards stand on both sides with swords, unless they don't want to live anymore.
This ticket is also different, not based on price, but based on status.
Only nobles can buy VIP tickets.
Although the VIP compartment is still made of tent cloth, it is made of wool felt. The compartment has square tables facing each other and two chairs on one side, just like the hard seats of later trains. However, because the overall width is different, there are only two in a row.
seat.
There are no stools in ordinary carriages, but there are rows and rows of stools. The total number of people in a carriage is more than twice that of VIP carriages.
This is a courtesy. There is only one carriage, and there is only a mat on the ground. If you want to sit, you can just sit on the ground. Your shoes must be placed on the rack at the entrance.
"Many people are afraid that their pictures are more fresh!" Queen Changsun said with a smile as she looked at the long queue.
While he was talking, a loud air whistle sounded.
This was the signal. After the air whistle, all the boards on both sides of the station were taken away, and the barriers on both sides of the railway began to be removed, leaving only two rows of bamboo fences.
The train drove out of the shed, its five-foot-long front end looking majestic and ferocious.
There are craftsmen who are resembling the head of the dragon, and there are painters who are meticulously sculpting it. When the train comes out, two white pillars of air are sprayed from the nose of the dragon, and the loud air whistle sounds again.
Ma Yuan was in the cab at the front of the car with the trained technician and four other strong men.
Four strong men were working in pairs, shoveling coal into the furnace.
When the common people saw the appearance of this giant beast, the crowd that was originally watching with curiosity fell silent for an instant.
With rhythmic rumbles and harsh brakes, when the train stopped in front of the station, no one dared to take a step closer, but all the onlookers were breathing heavier and heavier.
Empress Changsun smiled slightly and nodded towards Wu Zhao and others.
The most distinguished woman in the Tang Dynasty entered the station from the VIP passage with the Imperial Guards clearing the way, and then sat in a specially made special carriage that was only one-third the length of an ordinary carriage. This was the only wooden carriage.
The custom-made carriage is extremely ornately decorated inside.
This is a special VIP carriage. Tickets are not sold but are based on status.
Seeing Empress Changsun, Princess Qin, and Princess Mingyue enter the carriage, the silent people cheered, and the scene suddenly became chaotic, with many people squeezing in.
"Line in line, and those who disobey the order will be killed!" With a loud shout, the Imperial Guards shouted in unison: "Behead!"
The scene was immediately brought under control, with people from high to low queuing up to enter through three different entry channels.
In addition to the front and special VIP carriages, there are eight passenger carriages, two VIP carriages, five ordinary carriages, and one carriage. Then there are three freight carriages, pulling some corn, pumpkins, vegetables, and some unknown goods.
It was brought from Qinwangzhuang and loaded into the car.
After three consecutive sirens, someone on the platform shouted: "Everyone, get out and wait for the next train!"
The train moved slowly, pulling thousands of people, and it was also full of goods that were piled as high as a hill. What kind of power could pull so many people?
Empress Changsun said softly at this time: "The craftsman said that the power of eight hundred horses, I thought he was being humble! It's just that the sound of the whistle is too loud."
"Your Majesty the Queen, this is the honor of the Tang Dynasty!" Kinderman saluted beside him and said.
Empress Changsun smiled. This was of course an honor. She didn't know how shocked all the countries in the world would be.
The train began to speed up at this time. Wu Zhao had given an order to keep the speed as high as possible. Since it was going to be shown, it would shock the world.
There was no speed measurement equipment, but Ma Yuan had his own method. He installed a small runner on the front wheel, and then had a large mechanical counter. He used the stopwatch Wu Zhao gave him to measure how many revolutions the wheel made per minute.
, and then use the calculated table to compare.
"Stop adding coal!" Ma Yuan shouted.
Because the speed at this time has reached eighty miles per hour, this speed would definitely shock the world in the Tang Dynasty.
It has to be fast and not broken, and the rails have not been properly tested. When he felt that the car body was shaking a little, Ma Yuan had already ordered to maintain the speed. If it broke on the road, or rolled over or something, he had
Eight heads are not enough to chop off.
The straight road from Chang'an to Commercial Association Street was specially allowed for ordinary people to enter, and it was already full of people.
In the eyes of the people, it was a dragon that flew past in front of them with just a breath.
The people sitting in the car just felt that the scenery in front of them was moving backwards. Before they could recover, the car had already slowed down and slowly started to enter the station.
At a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, on a road of only 15 kilometers, it can definitely be run in half an hour.
The common people were driven off the bus by the Imperial Guards because they were reluctant to get off the bus.
Li Er, who stood at the top of Mingde Gate, smiled with satisfaction. After putting down his telescope, he said to Qin Qiong: "What do you think, Uncle Bao?"
"If this car can drive all the way to Liaocheng..."
"Hahaha..." Li Er laughed loudly and interrupted Qin Qiong's words.
Li Erxiao had two meanings. One was that the idea of conquering Goguryeo could not be discussed, and the other was Liaocheng. Li Erxin said that even if you threw the King of Qin into the furnace and turned it into steel, you would not be able to get so much refined steel. You must know that for
For this rail, even the stainless steel front shell originally planned to be used on the front of the car has been replaced by wood.
Yaozhou can't even produce a hundred kilograms of fine steel now.
"Uncle Bao, try this train with me!"
In the VIP compartment, when they saw Li Er getting on the bus, everyone stood up and saluted.
Kinderman asked at this time: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, why don't you invite envoys from all over the world to witness such a sacred object and such a grand event?"
"Is it a grand event?" Li Er smiled and shook his head: "No!"
"The ministers of this country don't understand!"
Li Er sat down and said slowly: "It's just a convenience for the people. From Chang'an to Commercial Association Street, if you travel early in the morning, you can arrive at noon. Now you can get there in a quarter of an hour, and it is much more convenient for the people. All kinds of goods
It can also be transported quickly from Gongfang District to Chang'an, which is very convenient for the people."
Kinderman thought to himself, who would believe this?
This dragon carriage, with its carriage leading the way, contains millions of kilograms of fine steel. Is it just for the convenience of the people?
Suddenly, Kinderman came to his senses. Thirty miles only takes a quarter of an hour. So how can such a road be built to the border? Thousands of troops were transported to the border in a day or two. The Tang Dynasty was...
Kinderman didn't dare to think about it anymore. The more he thought about it, the more terrible he felt.
Not to mention Kinderman, everyone involved in politics in Chang'an City is frightened.
Changsun Wuji and others did not receive the invitation, and by the time they found out, Li Er had already taken the train to Qinwangzhuang.
Standing on the wall of Mingde Gate in the outer city of Chang'an, Changsun Wuji and Cui Junsu looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces: "It's so fast. I heard that one carriage can pull 50,000 kilograms of grain." Cui Junsu
He took a deep breath, he had never been so surprised.
As for the millions of pounds of fine steel, they are not considered at all.
Wang Jishan arrived a little late.
"Mr. Wang, if you come a little too late, I'll have to try the dragon carriage!"
I don’t know who named it "Dragon Cart", but it was already called in less than an hour.
"What a happy event!" Wang Jishan clasped his fists and saluted everyone. Then he, Changsun Wuji, Cui Junsu, and Hou Junji who were in a daze on the side came over, and whispered: "Western Turks have written a letter of credence, and I wish to be my minister! I mentioned some
The conditions are not too embarrassing, they are just a matter of some goods, money and food. However, the Yiwu envoy was even more outrageous. He directly declared himself a vassal and asked the Tang Dynasty to garrison to protect Yiwu's prosperity!"
"Promise me! Garrison the troops!" Hou Junji exclaimed.
Not only Hou Junji, but also several other important officials of the Tang Dynasty took a breath of cold air.
"Hmph, one million kilograms of fine steel, just a few months. I scared them to death. Once the dragon chariot builds the road to Yiwu and Chang'an sends troops, they can be destroyed in a few days."
Jun Ji said it directly. He had already had a premonition that he could lead troops again. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had the desire to dominate the world.
But the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty spared no effort to promote the power of the war machine of the Tang Dynasty.
One year, two years at most. He could lie dormant for at most two years, and he would definitely have the opportunity to lead troops if he was able to work in a stable manner. Hou Junji was very confident, and he was very self-rewarded for immediately offering gold after receiving the news about Luoyang Mansion.
In the Qinwangzhuang, Jin Deman, who was looking a little lost in his eyes, was sent back to rest. Empress Changsun said to Li Er: "Your Majesty, this time you scared the people of Silla. I think there are few people in the world.
Not alarmed."
Li Er smiled happily. How could he be unhappy about such a thing? Hou Junji could think of it, and Li Er could think of it. Li Er said softly: "I, on a deeper level, have understood the power of a king! One million kilograms of fine steel.
, making it into sword armor will only make the surrounding countries sleepless day and night, but when used on this fire dragon chariot, it is different. This is power!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
