Chapter 758: The Whistle That Breaks the Tranquility of the Times (I)
There is a strange thing in the city of Tokyo, two iron strips are connected by horizontal strips in the middle, and the sand and stone sleepers under them extend from the Liangzhou Gate, which is particularly abrupt in the winter on the depressed earth. The railroad tracks shimmered with a silver sheen, and the pedestrians were curious, but when they saw the forbidden troops lining up on the side, they dispelled the idea of going forward to wipe them.
In fact, this rail track is not the first day it appeared, it was here half a year ago, but it has been placed here, it is said that this rail has been extended to Zhengzhou Guancheng, and from Zhengzhou Guancheng to a further place, someone has seen it in Luoyang, Xijing, there are two more railroad tracks like this.
Nothing new can withstand the erosion of time, but after half a year's effort, the people of Tokyo City are accustomed to this sudden appearance, after all, the pace of life in Tokyo City has accelerated after the "speeding up", and people have no leisure time to waste time on things that have nothing to do with them.
But today was different, everyone was stunned by the behemoth on the railroad tracks in front of them, the locomotive forged in cast iron was huge, and the adult man stood in front of it, this behemoth was the size of a house, and the black chimney was rising high and belching black smoke.
Zhou Banxian's hands on Nanmen Street twitched like chicken claws, and his mouth was babbling: "This is a demon monster, everything in the extraordinary world, all living beings quickly avoid!" ”
Scare...... The onlookers quickly retreated, and the monster in front of them really began to emit billowing black smoke as Zhou Banxian said, and made a strange loud noise.
The black smoke grew bigger and bigger, and the trees on the side also blackened the sky of Tokyo City, but fortunately, the black smoke quickly dissipated after reaching the sky, and the wind blew away without a trace.
Zhou Banxian was jumping like a mad demon on the ground, and soon the soul in his body collapsed to the ground as if it had been sucked away, frightening the onlookers to scream again and again, and someone in the crowd shouted: "Scared! This monster's mana is amazing, and even Zhou Banxian is no match! ”
Zhou Banxian did not compromise, picked up from the ground, and shouted: "Bah! The demon looks at the trick ......"
But as soon as the words fell, the whole person flew out like a cannonball, and the official on the side retracted his foot and scolded: "Zhou Laozhuan, you are crazy!" Any idea what this is? Just dance the gods here? That is, I am here, if I change the forbidden army, hum...... It's light to go to prison! ”
Poof...... The scene in front of him was too funny, and the onlookers couldn't help laughing, and Zhou Banxian on the ground got up and said with a flattering smile: "Why didn't the poor master say it earlier, the little old man won't get an axe here, what the hell is this?!" ”
With his words, the people also opened their mouths, and for a while everyone became curious babies, and no one could stop the curiosity of the people.
"You old boy's face changes quickly." The official of Kaifeng Mansion scolded with a smile and said again: "Where do I know what this is!" I only know that this is something that the Gewu Academy and the General Supervisor and even the Ordnance Department have concocted, do you think about the things that are related to the Ordnance Division? ”
The people on the side exclaimed again and again: "Zhou Banxian, your life is really big, if you run into the forbidden army...... Your life is gone! ”
Zhou Banxian was shocked, wiped the cold sweat on his head and said: "Sanqing is on top, Lao Dao has picked up an old life and come back, but what is this thing?" ”
Whining...... With the loudest whistle, the behemoth on the railroad tracks emitted more black smoke and moved forward!
Crash...... The onlookers suddenly dispersed, crowded backwards, leaving Zhou Banxian alone standing in a daze, until the train passed in front of him, he screamed and ran backwards, I didn't expect this behemoth to really move!
Slowly, the locomotive began to move forward, and the speed became faster and faster, making a sound on the tracks, and the onlookers realized that in the front of the locomotive, a young man was shouting excitedly to release the coal out of a large furnace.
The speed of the train began to increase, and even the people who followed it had already run, and it was gradually accelerating, and after a few breaths, this behemoth left people far behind, and only Zhao Xiaowu's excited shouts could be heard far away......
Only then did people realize that this thing was simply a fairy thing! It's a miracle that you can be so fast and be able to pull a cart of coal forward!
Watching the train leave, Fan Zhongyan was stunned in surprise, he never imagined that this thing would be so amazing, the most important thing is that the power is extremely large, according to the craftsman who will be the supervisor, this steam car can still drag six or seven carriages behind it...... If you can use this thing, drive along the railroad tracks on the ground all the way to Katsufu, and empty the entire city of Tokyo in a year or two, right?
It is said that this steam engine can even replace water power and become a kind of power, just burn coal to run a factory, but now the problem is how to connect the steam engine with the machinery in the factory.
The water is exhausted, and the power of steam is endless!
Because it will smoke and burn charcoal, the people will just say that the behemoth they saw is called a train, which is also in line with its name, although it is simple, there is not even a car door or the like, the open air is open, but the shock is really great.
At this time, a big car came in a hurry, and the people in the car got down and scolded: "Zhao Xiaowu, this killer!" How many times have I said: When I test the car, I must send someone to report it, and I must send someone to report it, so I don't have to wait for me to come before driving! This cargo really drove first! How dare you not wait for me to come! Fan Zhongyan! Come over to me! ”
When he heard Zhao Zhen's voice, Fan Zhongyan smiled helplessly, the official family still came, he had already told Zhao Xiaowu before that he would try again when the official family came, but Zhao Xiaowu used an excuse that he couldn't refute: "The official has made it very clear under the structure of the steam car, the boiler will explode, if there is an accident, who can bear the responsibility?" I, Zhao Xiaowu, am just a craftsman, even if there is an accident, it doesn't matter, if I resist the will, I will resist the will. ”
Now it seems that the boiler did not explode, but the official family arrived as scheduled, and Zhao Xiaowu's train drove away...... Fan Zhongyan felt that he would definitely become the target of the official family's venting, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad about the successful test run of the train at this moment......
Seeing Fan Zhongyan's appearance, Zhao Zhen knew that Zhao Xiaowu must not be able to wait, Zhao Zhen had long discovered that Zhao Xiaowu had a crazy attachment to things, but he didn't know anything about human affairs.
This is a common problem of engaging in scientific research, always forgetting that their identity is closely related to politics, just like some Confucians who are immersed in learning, they do not understand the world, in the eyes of these people, one is one, two is two, and it is also their cuteness.
Zhao Zhen naturally wouldn't be serious with them, so he could only quickly rush up to Liangzhou Gate under Fan Zhongyan's guidance, and maybe he could see the back of the train when he went up now......
