In fact, even I think that this enlarged model is just a large toy. So I didn't care about secrecy at all.

But who would have thought that when the transformed 'steam car' really ran around the rails, a person from a school jumped out, saying that I was the 'galloping road' of the Qin Dynasty! He also asked me if I was a 'traitor' from the 'Hidden Soul Cult'! Do you have to punish me......

It is said that after listening to the words of this person who jumped out at that time, everyone present was stunned!

Me too!

This 'Hidden Cult' is on my ears again. However, I have a grudge against this sect! The other party has been plotting against me all along. Even the poison in me was caused by people from this sect!

So Sun Simiao, the miracle doctor who was also present at the time, jumped out directly, and after narrating my poisoning, these people actually believed it magically......

In other words, this is a miracle doctor's face! Or is there any power behind the Divine Doctor? Why did you still think about the sect that directly punished me just now, but now you look at me with a 'sympathetic' look? It was as if I was going to have something, with a look of regret and sympathy......

Afterwards, I asked Sun Simiao to find out what was going on.

It turns out that this 'Hidden Spirit Sect' is the great enemy of all sects! Moreover, this 'poisoning' thing has also happened many times in various sects.

And what's even more terrifying is that the people who are targeted by the 'Hidden Spirit Cult' will be attacked by them for a long time. Until the 'inheritance' is snatched. Therefore, the Hidden Spirit Sect can be said to have always been the number one enemy of these Hidden World Sects. It can even be said that the main reason why most sects have been hiding from the world is that they are afraid of being targeted by the people of the Hidden Spirit Sect......

As for why so many people are appearing now. Actually, it's because of 'Bai Yujing'. This sect, which has always been misunderstood as being born here, is actually the union of several schools from Jixia College back then. The main purpose seems to be to target the Hidden Spirits.

Now after these people came out, in addition to hearing that the disciples of 'Bai Yujing' appeared. It's just that those sects are actually having a hard time in the 'hidden place'! That's why I wanted to come out to the 'mortal world' to absorb talented disciples to act as the 'fresh blood' of the sect! While taking the opportunity to observe what the battle between the people of the 'Hidden Spirit Sect' and the people of 'Bai Yujing' was really like.

Of course, I didn't know that until later. Now it is the question of 'Chi Dao' that leads to misunderstanding.

It turns out that this 'Chi Dao' is exactly the same as the model track built by the researchers of the current college. It's just that this technology was the secret technology of the 'First Emperor' of the Qin State back then. It was only after the death of the second Qin Dynasty. This secret technology was snatched away by the people of the 'Hidden Soul Cult'. Later, only Lubanmen had a similar slide technology.

It is for these reasons that the term 'traitor' is misunderstood...... As for why it is said that the 'Hidden Souls' are traitors...... In fact, the main reason is that the Hidden Spirit Sect was actually born from the hundred schools of the sons in the 'Jixia Academy' back then......

Although the misunderstanding was resolved, the people of these sects and schools warned that it was better not to build this 'galloping road' for real. Because this technique is now considered to be the hallmark of the 'Hidden Souls'. If it is discovered by other 'Hidden Sects', they will treat me and my academy as members of the 'Hidden Soul Sect'! There can even be dangerous ...... So, don't go on.

But having said that, and after listening to the explanation, I also learned a lot of secrets from ancient times. But this railroad track~ is what they call 'galloping road', I will definitely let people continue to study it!

After all, in my eyes, this rail is an invention that can really change the world and make the technology of this era completely advanced...... After all, steam locomotives are almost being built. When the time comes, the railways will be built everywhere, and it will be a big deal for the entire Datang and even the whole world!

As a traverser, I know that after the railroad is repaired. The list of benefits is endless.

Besides, since this Hidden Spirit Sect has been eyeing me for a long time, then I may not be able to dodge even if I dodge. Therefore, it is better to continue to study according to the development progress of the college.

Leaving no need to worry about the curious people of other sects, I arranged for the researchers to arrange the research work on the railroad tracks and steam locomotives directly on the large playground of the college. I didn't want to keep it a secret anyway. And if the train is actually built, even if it is only a model that is several times smaller. That's enough to shock everyone in the entire academy. Students will definitely be more interested in this knowledge......

In addition, when the craftsmen helped to install the 'cast' rails on the sleepers, those who were curious about the other schools of onlookers told me that this was not my 'galloping' technique.

It turns out that the biggest technical secret of the 'Chidao' is in the material of the track. It wasn't a railroad track! Rather, it is a 'wooden track' made by a secret method...... And the core and key secret is how to make the wooden track strong and durable.

But who would have thought that I would now be using 'pig iron' to cast rails directly. That's why I was told that this method is not as economical as the 'Chi Dao' production method...... Actually use expensive iron as a track? This is really the behavior of a 'loser'......

After a long time, I actually heard the term 'loser' again. Somehow~ I still have a feeling of nostalgia! Die Literature Network

However, when I heard what the other party said, I remembered that the 'iron tools' of this era were very expensive materials. It's even a 'national strategic material' strictly controlled by the imperial court!

At this point, I realized what a money-consuming luxury my researcher was to lay a whole circle of rails directly on the large playground...... Iron in this era is almost catching up with the price of copper...... I heard that the price was reduced only after the discovery of new smelting technology in the previous dynasty. So, this rail is equivalent to a pile of copper coins of about the same value......

"What~ is it so expensive? Wait a minute. Otherwise, let's study how to increase the production of iron ore? "My mind suddenly exploded. At this time, I realized why the Ministry of Industry would set up a new department to study 'alloys with formulas everywhere'!

It's a pity that I don't know anything about mining! Even if you want to study it. But the only bit of sanity in my heart still prevented me from doing such useless homework...... I suddenly realized. Although the technology of mining and metallurgy is not understood. However, if the steam engine is successfully manufactured and put into practical use, wouldn't it also improve the mining and transportation process of various minerals in disguise?

I remember when I was studying history in school, I was talking about the first industrial revolution. It's just that I can't remember these knowledge points at all now. I can only barely remember that these are all related to the 'invention and utility of the steam engine'......

So let's keep researching! As for the rails, there are other consumptions...... Think of it as an investment.

It is for this reason that it is in mind. So I deliberately took it from the 'dividends' of the commercial street. I drew half of the research funds which I assumed as academy.

Don't underestimate the half of the bonus. You don't know how much money this shopping street has made since it opened!

At that time, the shopping street was designed with the purpose of 'all luxury'. In particular, when the generator was made, the entire shopping street was lit up all day long, plus the various movies that were shown in the theater for a long time. And since the big flower and the little flower became popular, after a concert was held in the stadium. The signboards of these two shopping streets have brought a lot of popularity to the whole street!

Not to mention the high street or membership-only entry. That's why the whole street can earn an amazing amount of money every day! Those 'partners' were all frightened~ because the daily income is a large amount of money that is scary to death! Eventually, these people started to worry. Then everyone also discussed it, and then took out a quarter of the dividends from it, and handed it over to the court as a tax ~ The hearts of these partners that have been hanging are stable. Of course, the imperial court was also shocked by such a large 'heavenly dividend'. Then we started to support the activities of the shopping street in all directions.

And those partners, except for the Cheng family and the Qinghe Cui family, don't particularly care about such a large amount of income. The other nobles directly regarded the whole way of making money as the root of their lives~ So these people took the initiative to run around the commercial street and obliged to maintain the various operations and public security of the entire commercial street.

It is precisely because of this situation that I can know that I directly took half of the dividends I received to support the research of the college, which is a lot of money!

It was with this investment that soon the academy actually built a circular railway on the playground, and of course, the proportion was directly reduced by half. The purpose of this study is to study the problem of lane change on railroad tracks...... As for the locomotive, it was made by these researchers long before the railroad tracks were built. Of course, the main reason is that they have already made a steam car, and with a little modification of the car, a locomotive can be easily built......

It's just that this kind of locomotive, whether it is shape, power and speed, can not be compared with a real steam locomotive. But when the tracks are repaired, the simple locomotive can be driven directly......

When I saw the train running at the speed of a bicycle, I began to give advice to the researchers who had been hugging and cheering excitedly. For this reason, I took out the toy model of the train and displayed it for a long time. Then I suggested that the next step in their work was to completely transform this steam locomotive into the way I wanted it to be. At least you need to be able to pull up dozens of carriages and run fast!

In fact, the locomotive researched by these people is perfect, and the only regret is that the 'boiler' in the car is not big enough. After all, they were built in the shape of a car.

So on my alert, soon a replica 'toy' look. Steam locomotives with larger tanks and larger 'boilers' were made. With enough funds, especially after the Ministry of Industry has really developed a new method of making 'steel'. The new material allowed the locomotive to be made very quickly.

Sure enough, no matter what era it is, smart people are really everywhere! Those people actually used stamping and forging machines to improve the way steel was made. Then we made steel that was about the same hardness and toughness as ordinary steel in later generations. Although I can't catch up with the shopping mall, the kind of 'garage paving steel plate' that I used to make RVs has good hardness and toughness.

After several improvements, various areas that leak air and are prone to cylinder explosion have been replaced with originals made of steel newly researched by the Ministry of Industry. A locomotive with full power and the same appearance as the oldest steam locomotive of later generations really succeeded. And it's full of power. The empty front of the car can reach a speed of 60 kilometers per hour! This speed was measured by me running at the same speed as the locomotive on my motorcycle.

"I didn't expect to make a locomotive so easily? In this case~ wait a minute, it seems that ~ it still can't be practical......" I just wanted to celebrate, but I realized that although the locomotive was successfully made. But the key is the cost of the rails!

According to the current cost price, even if it is such a close distance from the academy to Chang'an City, if a railway is built, then I will have to go bankrupt again. Even the money made on the high street is not enough.

From the academy to Chang'an City, I have roughly calculated the distance, and it is probably only more than 100 kilometers away. However, according to the calculation of the steel consumed by the current track, it will take at least 10,000 tons of steel to get from the academy to Chang'an City...... That's 10,000 tons~ not 10,000 catties...... I went to the Ministry of Engineering to inquire, and then I was surprised to find that even if I only build a railway from the academy to the outside of Chang'an, or use my current railroad tracks that are a little thinner than the rails of later generations~ Then it will take at least a year's iron production of the entire Datang to build this railway...... I guess even if they robbed the Ministry of Works, they wouldn't have come up with so much iron to make rails!

This worries me. It's obviously manufactured, but because of the cost problem~ This thing is just an ornament...... What can I do?

"Huh! I suddenly regretted why I didn't study history at that time! At the very least, we need to know how these technologies developed during the first industrial revolution! I muttered to myself!
