Chapter 296: How Many Horses Does It Take to Pull Such a Long Car?

readx; "Gang Leader Li, what's the matter?" Chen Laomou, who was already preparing to go out, turned around and said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Li Fei looked at Chen Laomou carefully, although he was old and had some wrinkles on his forehead, he still looked very energetic. His hands and ten fingers must be very dexterous, and his hands are covered with a lot of calluses. It seems, it's also a person who does things a lot.

For this Chen Laomou, as long as you have watched "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", you know that in this world, except for Lu Miaozi, he has the most dexterous mind and is the best at manufacturing tools. In the original book, it helped Kou Xu and the others a lot.

Lu Miaozi, Li Fei hasn't met it now, but now it's enough for the Three Dragons Gang to have Chen Laomou.

Li Fei smiled slightly and asked, "You are in charge of the manufacturing of weapons and warships in the Three Dragons Gang. ā€

"Yes, it's the old man who is me. What does Gang Leader Li command? Chen Laomou asked, he didn't understand why Li Fei, the new gang leader, left him behind, it is said that if he wanted to stay, he should also leave the military advisor to act in vain.

Because Chen Laomou also advocated an immediate march into the Central Plains, he was at odds with Li Fei in terms of military opinions. However, it is more consistent with Li Fei's military opinions, and he is the military advisor of the Three Dragons Gang, isn't it better for Li Fei to leave the military advisor to discuss major matters?

Even if it is a faction that wants to stay and advocate an immediate attack, it should leave Xuan Yong and a few other generals. Although he Chen Laomou is in charge of the manufacture of weapons and warships, to be honest, in this kind of thing, what he says is still not as good as Xuanyong's generals.

Therefore, at this time, Chen Laomou was very puzzled.

Li Fei took out a black stone from the system space. It's a piece of coal, the coal that is often seen in the 21st century. This piece of coal was picked up by Li Fei on the way to the Three Dragons Gang in the mountains that came out of Chongsheji Academy.

Smiling slightly, Li Fei said softly: "Old Mouzi, do you know this thing?" ā€

"Blackstone? Know, this thing can be burned. Chen Laomou replied that as a technical director, he must know about coal, but in this era, coal is not called coal, but blackstone.

To be honest, although coal has been used for a long time, it has not yet been popularized in the Tang Dynasty, and it only began to be popularized in the Song Dynasty.

Li Fei was afraid that Chen Laomou didn't know this thing, so he said with a smile: "You go and organize people to dig up this thing now, the more the better." ā€

Chen Laomou was puzzled and asked: "Why is this, although black stones can be burned, they are generally hidden in the ground, and it is not easy to dig them out." What's more, he has no other use than to light a fire. If you want to make a fire, Lingnan is full of mountains, just cut down some trees! ā€

Even Kou Zhong was puzzled and said, "Li Shao, what's the use of asking for a black stone?" ā€

Li Fei smiled and said, "Hehe...... It's a very useful thing. ā€

Coal is not a very difficult ore to collect, especially in this era, no one has ever mined coal on a large scale. There are countless coal resources. And Li Fei picked up a piece on the way here, indicating that there was a coal mine in that mountain. As for the technology of mining coal mines, it just so happened that Li Fei knew.

In fact, Li Fei's mind is not only about the technology of coal mining, but also about gunpowder manufacturing, firearms manufacturing, petroleum refining, steam engines, generators, and internal combustion engines.

This is also due to the last war in the Tianlong World, the war between the gang leader Great Song and the Great Liao.

If Li Fei had this knowledge in his mind that time, he would only have to tell the then prime minister that the Song Dynasty could win 100%. Try to think about it, when two armies are fighting, who can win with a broadsword on one side and a spear and a short cannon on the other?

It's a pity that at that time, Li Fei didn't know this knowledge. Therefore, after returning to the real world, Li Fei wanted to encounter the situation of ancient wars again, so he made a special trip to check the information in this regard. With Li Fei's current martial arts, his memory is much better than that of ordinary people, so he wrote them all down.

I didn't expect to really encounter war now, in fact, if all he had in mind was realized, let alone digging coal, even if he built a simpler tank, he could do it.

Of course, Li Fei has not studied the precise structure inside the tank, on the one hand, these technologies are military secrets and cannot be obtained easily. On the other hand, Li Fei's time is limited, so he just roughly scans and memorizes this knowledge. Speaking of which, with this knowledge in Li Fei's mind, the difficulty of helping the society has been infinitely reduced.

At the beginning, Shang Xiufang asked Li Fei to go down the mountain to help Sheji, but Li Fei was unwilling, mainly because his martial arts were too low at that time, and he didn't know how the martial arts of the Central Plains heroes were. Moreover, at that time, no one forced him to improve his strength quickly, so he didn't want to be an enemy of the Central Plains.

The most important thing is that although Li Fei has a great advantage in having this knowledge, it is not possible to create these things.

This requires a lot of manpower and financial resources, which means that it will be extremely difficult in the initial stage, and when Fashion Xiufang asked Li Fei Kuang to help Sheji, Li Fei was alone, so he didn't want to come.

But now it's different, now that Li Fei has the foundation of the Three Dragons Gang, the most difficult initial stage, Kou Xu and the others have laid a solid foundation, and Li Fei doesn't have to worry about it.

This is also the main reason why Li Fei does not approve of attacking the Central Plains immediately.

Think about it, once the Three Dragons Gang has modern weapons, how much effort can be saved to attack the Central Plains?

It's just that the basic industry of the Tang Dynasty in China is too poor now, let alone a tank, and it is difficult for Li Fei to even get a car.

So Li Fei can only teach Chen Laomou some simple things now. Give it to Chen Laomou to make things that can be made from the industrial base of this era, such as steam engines, such as gunpowder, such as muskets, cannons and the like. It can be done. As for coal, it is mainly used as fuel for steam engines.

Li Fei put the coal in his hand on the table and took out another drawing, which was the construction diagram of the steam engine. handed over the construction diagram to Chen Laomou, Li Fei did not speak, but asked Chen Laomou to see it himself, Li Fei wanted to know how big Chen Laomou's surname was.

Chen Laomou didn't understand Li Fei's intentions at first, but just watched carefully.

After a while, Chen Laomou's expression became more and more excited, and the more he looked at it, the more he concentrated, and even forgot that there were other people around, and he didn't care about anything, and spread out the drawings on a table. As if crazy, his mouth kept shouting: "Gao Ming! Brilliant! Clever! ā€

Seeing that Chen Laomou had such an abnormal appearance, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and even Song Yuhua and Wan Wan were also strange, and they ran up to look at this drawing, but they didn't see the slightest vision.

In fact, this drawing was drawn by Li Fei himself. Li Fei has never learned to paint, and in this era, he uses a brush, and Li Fei has a hard time writing a word, let alone painting. The construction of this steam engine is really not very well drawn.

And Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, including Wan Wan and Song Yuhua, although they are very talented in martial arts, but they are all from the Tang Dynasty and don't know anything about steam engines.

But Chen Laomou seemed to understand, but it was beyond Li Fei's expectations. It shows that this Chen Laomou is really talented in inventing and manufacturing tools. Just by virtue of this Li Fei's drawing, Li Fei couldn't stand the structural drawing, he actually understood it.

Kou Zhong asked, "Old Mouzi, what is this, why are you so excited?" ā€

In the face of Kou Zhong's inquiry, Chen Laomou ignored Kou Zhong's inquiry as the gang leader, but said to Li Fei excitedly: "Gang leader Li, this... Is it true that water vapor can drive so much power? If this is true, this... Can this machine drive a carriage? ā€

It's no wonder that Chen Laomou was excited, he was not very interested in martial arts, but he was very interested in these strange inventions, such a sketch of a steam engine might be a piece of waste paper in the eyes of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. In Chen Laomou's eyes, it is tantamount to peerless martial arts cheats such as Cihang Sword Codex, Heavenly Demon Secret, and Heavenly Sword Eight Styles.

Li Fei confirmed Chen Laomou's talent in this area, and seeing that Chen Laomou was so excited, he no longer tested him. Instead, he smiled directly and said, "Hehe, don't say it's a carriage, even a train can be driven by a machine!" ā€

"Train, what kind of car is that, a car on fire?" Chen Laomou asked.

"Train, hehe, just look at this......" Li Fei smiled and took out another drawing.

This is a drawing of a steam locomotive, and to put it bluntly, a drawing of a train.

In fact, the earliest trains were driven by steam engines. In 1804, the world's first steam locomotive was built by the British mine technician Divewsk using Watt's steam engine, which was traveling at speeds of five to six kilometers per hour.

The reason why the train is called a train is also because coal or firewood were used as fuel at that time, so people called it "train".

Of course, the drawing that Li Fei gave Chen Laomou made a train that was far more than five to six kilometers per hour.

In order for the steam engine to produce such a large amount of power, it is definitely not enough to just burn wood, at least it is necessary to burn coal, which is why Li Fei took out coal in the first place.

"It's... This...... This is the train? Chen Laomou held this chapter of drawings, and his eyes showed an extremely crazy look.

Even Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling could see that the train was much easier to recognize than the steam engine, it was just a long string of cars. It's just that Kou Zhong still didn't see that this train was powered by a steam engine. The main reason is that whether it is the drawings of the steam engine or the train, Li Fei's drawings are very ugly.

Kou Zhong: It's normal that they can't see it. All he saw was a long line of carriages with wheels underneath, and he assumed that this was the car.

Kou Zhong said suspiciously: "Li Shao, this car is a little unrealistic." How many horses does it take to pull such a long car? (To be continued.) )
