Daqin's current scientific and technological route is probably similar to the scientific and technological route when China was rising. In the early stage, imitation is the mainstay, and when the imitation matures, it is reforming and innovating. With the technology and samples that Li Chen obtained from the earth, the craftsmen of Daqin could completely disassemble the samples and then imitate them.

The steam engine made by Da Niu has even completely reached the level of steam engines in modern Europe in the previous life. This steam engine may still be lacking in ironclad ships, but it is already capable of towing a locomotive for walking.

After another three months, Daqin's first steam train was born. Although the locomotive equipped with the steam engine only dragged three carriages, and the speed was only about ten kilometers per hour, even this was enough to make Li Chen excited.

Now Daqin has been able to build trains, although speed and load capacity are still a problem to overcome. But there's a world of difference between being able to make a train and not being able to make a train.

Outside Xianyang City, on the railroad tracks laid by death. At this time, around the railroad tracks, more than 100,000 people had gathered in the dark, and they looked around, waiting for the rumored iron horse.

In the past few days, the news that the "Dharma Academy" invented the iron horse has spread throughout Xianyang. It is said that this iron horse does not eat forage, as long as it eats coal and drinks water, it can drag more than a dozen tons of things. You must know that even if he is a strong horse in Daqin, he can't drag more than ten tons of things. So, in order to satisfy their curiosity, almost the people of the entire Xianyang City moved.

"You say, this iron horse that can drag more than a dozen tons of things, how big is he?"

"It's the first time I've heard that some horses eat carbon, and I don't know what this carbon-eating horse looks like."

"I've also heard that this iron horse will breathe fire."

"It breathes fire, isn't that a heavenly horse?"

......

......

The people surrounding the railroad tracks were shouting head to ear, telling each other about the rumors in Xianyang City these days. It can be seen that the tradition of Chinese people liking to watch the excitement seems to have been handed down from the Great Qin thousands of years ago.

"Three feet back, three feet back."

"The train is coming, and everyone is off the tracks."

At this time, some soldiers in armor made their way through the crowd, maintaining order.

The curiosity of these people was so heavy that one by one they almost stuck their heads on the railroad tracks to look. You know, this is the first time the train has been officially operated, and it is different from the previous experiments. In the previous experiments, it had been running empty for a short distance, but now it is fully loaded.

If you let the people get too close to the railroad tracks, if something happens to the thing, I am afraid that it will lose a lot. After all, in this era when the technology was not very mature, building a train was completely by feeling the stones to cross the river. The safety of this thing, whether it can be derailed, this is an unknown.

I like to watch the excitement and I like to watch the excitement, but in the face of the soldier's order, I still have to obey it. So the people retreated to the back, about three zhang or so, that is, at a distance of more than ten meters from the railroad tracks, looking back and forth.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck."

A loud sound came from a distance, and then a big black guy came into view. The shock absorption of this first train was not perfect, and the train made a loud noise as it moved. In front of the front of the car, smoke was constantly billowing out of the chimney, and even flames were coming out from time to time.

"Iron Horse, really Iron Horse."

"You see, the Iron Horse really breathes fire."

"There is coal in the back, and the iron horse really dragged more than ten tons of coal." The onlookers shouted excitedly.

The appearance of the train really surprised them, and they saw cattle and horses and other livestock, and people felt that movement was the preserve of living creatures, and when would the iron lump be able to move freely like this.

"Iron Horse? Jump one. ”

"Iron Horse? Fly one. ”

......

......

The train passed by the people, and the people ran excitedly after the train, carrying all kinds of strange demands as they ran.

The train traveled about 30 miles before and after, and was at the key Xianyang South Station of the railway station. Fusu had already led the civil and military officials to wait here, and saw the train slowly coming with more than ten tons of coal. The officials of Great Qin exclaimed in unison, shocked one by one.

The appearance of such a thing as a train in the era of Daqin is really shocking to these officials. Unlike the people, when they see the train, what they think of is only curiosity and surprise. But these civil and military officials are different, they really understand the importance of trains.

Normally, it is necessary to transport more than a dozen tons of coal. Then at least a dozen or twenty carriages are needed, and then there are equally equipped coachmen, and it is a kind of loss for people to chew on the way. Under normal circumstances, the consumption of goods transporting 100 taels of silver on the road will reach 30%. If it is a large volume and a long distance of transportation, the consumption will be even greater.

The train in front of me only needs a few people to operate, and it only needs to consume extremely cheap coal and water that does not need money to haul more than a dozen tons of goods. This invention, for the entire Great Qin, is simply cross-era.

"Teacher, can this train be mass-produced?" Fusu asked excitedly.

Li Chen looked at the train, then at Fusu and said, "Of course you can, in time, my Great Qin will definitely be able to replace livestock power with railways." ”

"Okay, okay." Fusu said excitedly.

At this time, the officials of Daqin also admired the magic of the train one after another.

Since ancient times, all dynasties and generations have been trying to find ways to reduce transportation costs, the Qin Dynasty's Chidao, the Sui Dynasty's canals, and the Song Dynasty's Cao Yun. But all of these things have been overshadowed by the train.

"Your Majesty, the two centers of Daqin's commercial trade today are the Qixian Seaport and the Xianyang Shimenshan Development Zone. Therefore, I plan to start gradually building a railway connecting Quxian and Xianyang within three years. ”

"Each county will set up a stop along the way, so that the trade routes of Xianyang and Qu County can be quickly connected, and the transportation cost will be quickly reduced." Li Chen arched his hand and suggested to Fusu.

"The Generalissimo said very well."

"The ministers seconded the proposal."

"The ministers seconded the proposal."

As soon as Li Chen's suggestion was spoken, the surrounding ministers immediately shouted "I am the same", and surprisingly no one objected.

These ministers are all clever ghosts, and they all have merchants in their families. Generally, these officials are officials in the main house, and they are businessmen in partial houses. Therefore, the transportation cost is reduced, and these big families are the first to benefit.

"Quasi-play." Fusu didn't say a word, and agreed with a wave of his big hand.

Now for Fusu, Li Chen is the vane of Daqin, no matter what Li Chen says, Fusu will inevitably agree.
