There were no problems with the railway all the way down, and Unit 1 successfully arrived at where it needed to be.
However, even though the road conditions were completely OK, the train was still delayed...and it wasn't delayed by more than ten minutes or several hours, but...
This can't be called late, it should be called late. If we take it more seriously, this is a "missing deadline"——
Of course, it is impossible for Li Er to really punish Li Sheng for this reason, and Li Sheng will not ask for the project to be terminated because of this...
But also because of this incident, Li Sheng couldn't help but suddenly realized something: the Tang Dynasty was still ancient after all.
Without many modern things that seem subtle but actually require a long time to accumulate, even advanced designs are useless.
Just like Boss Qiao stated many years ago that mobile phones will replace personal computers in the future and become the most important device for individuals to communicate with the world. However, the nanotechnology at that time was still very limited, and there was not enough chip computing power or low enough power.
Power consumption supports him to create perfect products.
However, the first-generation Apple was also a smartphone after all, and the first practical steam train was also practical after all.
Without this thing, Li Sheng blindly guessed... If there is a war in the northwest, the Imperial Army from the Central Plains doesn't know when they will rush over to deal with it.
A typical, "recent" example is the An-Shi Rebellion. The war in the northwest, and the imperial army could only watch them make trouble, and basically could not deal with it.
But now that it's now, now that the Tang Dynasty is in his hands...
Li Sheng has never regarded Datang as something in his "hands", but just a blind guess, if there is a train...
If the Anshi Rebellion occurs again, it should be much easier to deal with it, right?...
Lingzhou City was the bridgehead for the Chinese Empire to deal with many problems in the northwest region, and of course Chang'an was originally the same.
But if Chang'an is the front line, and Northwest is regarded as a copy of this issue, then Lingzhou is the spike deep into the enemy's territory.
In the Tang Dynasty at this time, several years had passed since the emperor and his strange child met by chance, and the time finally came to the sixth year of Zhenguan.
The Tang Dynasty in Li Sheng's memory officially entered its heyday around the fifth year of Zhenguan, and the fifth year of Zhenguan was also the time when King Ma Bin was promoted and entered the political arena.
By the sixth year of Zhenguan, King Ma Bin had taken off, and from then on, he helped Li Er, cooperated with Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others to rebuild China, which had finally crawled out of the troubled times, and built a city-state on the ruins.
And now, Li Sheng has done something a little extra...
In the summer of that year, starting from a long time ago, the lifelong wishes of countless heroes born in China were finally fulfilled.
In the summer of that year, the Tang army sent 30,000 elite soldiers across the vast desert north, crossed the Pamir barrier, and observed the troops in Europe.

"trading……"
"Just trade?"
Hannibal flipped through the parchment in his hand, fidgeting with his quill with his fingers and frowning.
To be precise, the quill is not so much being played with as it is being crushed, as if the owner of the pen is crushing the irritability in his heart.
Hannibal felt a little confused at the moment.
Establish a legion, wipe out a group of zombie nobles called "lords", reorganize the political environment of Rome, and finally bring Rome, which has become increasingly unbearable day by day, back to its former glory.
It didn't take much effort for me, Hannibal VII, to accomplish this, but it took me half a lifetime to become what I am today in the melee in Eastern Europe, and finally met the Tatar...
The next step in the plan is, of course, to defeat the enemies in the four realms.
Rome should not only regain its former appearance, but also its former achievements, and spread the bravery and glory of Julius Caesar and his ancestor Hannibal I to every inch of Europe!
In this way, you don't have to feel guilty when you offer sacrifices to your ancestor Hannibal I... But now a strange problem has arisen.
Hannibal VII, originally an inconspicuous little character in the Hannibal family, was pushed out to the barren land of Eastern Europe very early...
However, although that place is a barren land, it is... not entirely. In terms of agricultural conditions, that place can even be said to be pretty good. The only problem is that it is a border area, and there have been Europeans and Slavs for a long time.
There were also Tatars fighting and fighting.
But in the end, Hannibal VII survived, and the most important thing is...
Hannibal VII accidentally met a Tatar in that war-torn land, and obtained many wonderful things from this man's hands...
It was a strange white cloth that was very fragile and would split like a leaf if it was torn. It could not be used to make clothes. But there were written words on that thing that recorded a lot of wonderful knowledge.
Including how to make the most powerful crossbow, one that even a child can draw but can shoot through the hardest shield.
Including how to make the strongest city, just burn the limestone into ashes, and then mix it with sand and water... and mix it into a thin mud. Then no matter what shape you make the mud into, it can quickly solidify into a stronger stone - than stone
It's so hard that it can knock any strong knight into pieces!
It even includes a kind of alchemy that can prepare strange potions that can increase crop yields...
If he hadn't met the Tatar, he would have been in his forties, and his youth and health were no longer as good as when he was young. Hannibal VII would most likely still be using his previous name - most likely he would not even be using that name himself.
But it is used for his own tombstone.
But ever since I met that Tatar...
Being squeezed into this harsh place with only a small and pitiful territory, Hannibal VII, who could not even afford a second pair of armor, quickly became rich, and soon after, he was among the fleeing victims that were common in this area.
Absorbed a large number of men and then built a powerful army.
Although the size of the army was average, the quality of Hannibal's army was surprisingly high because of the knowledge brought by the Tatars.
At this time, Rome was in a state where the Praetorian Guard was auctioning off the throne, and there was no law or discipline at all, and of course... its combat effectiveness was being lost at a high rate because of this.
For such a Rome, if Li Sheng saw it, he would probably call him Qinghui - this horse-riding, garbage regime of the Western Jin Dynasty not only has the national bank, but also the European version?
But in short, the unbearable Rome - to be precise, the group of people who controlled the Praetorian Guards' troubles were quickly eliminated by Hannibal VII with force that was almost a dimensionality reduction strike. A large number of them were executed and integrated
There were quite a few. The entire Roman military force was quickly integrated by General Hannibal...
