Bang bang bang

There was a burst of applause at the scene, and Liu Xia also seemed very happy.

Seeing Liu Xia happy, Luo Chengxian was even more happy.

Seeing that Luo Chengxian was happy, the academicians in the Academy of Science and Technology were also happy.

Then the entire Institute of Science and Technology was jubilant, as if it was the New Year. In order to celebrate the success of this test drive, Na Luo Chengxian even bought a plate of large firecrackers. With Liu Xia's consent, Luo Chengxian set people on fire. Suddenly crackling resounded through the heavens and the earth.

After the firecrackers were fired, the ground was covered with red skin, as if a fluffy red carpet had been laid.

The successful test drive made Liu Xia very happy, so he praised Luo Chengxian a few words. After that, Liu Xia asked the few people who drove the train to come to meet him. This is the first person in the world to drive a train, which is very significant. Although they are not as good as the first people to go to space and the moon, these people can be regarded as witnessing the birth and operation of the train.

"The villain knocks on the prince!"

The four of them knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to Liu Xia three times.

Liu Xia was happy today, and hurriedly helped the four of them up, and immediately moved them to a great extent.

"The prince actually helped me personally, and the prince personally helped me!" The soldier who was lifted up was so excited that he wished that these two arms would be cut off and saved.

Liu Xia smiled slightly, glanced at the four people, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be nervous, your driving skills are very good." In the future, this train is likely to become an important means of transportation for my Celestial Empire, and a good driver is naturally needed, and this king hopes that you can sum up your experience and teach more people the skills of driving a train, and do your part for my China. ”

"Yes, yes, the villain will, will." The four of them didn't understand what Liu Xia was saying, and they were stunned for a few seconds before they came to their senses under Luo Chengxian's eyes, and then spoke the language.

"What do you think of the train?" Liu Xia asked the four of them with a smile.

I only heard one of them: "I'm really dissatisfied with the prince, I've never seen a car that can move by myself when I'm so old." This thing doesn't need to be pulled by oxen, it doesn't need to be pulled by horses. You don't need to be pulled by anyone. It only takes a few catties of coal to burn, and it runs automatically. It's magical. ”

Another man continued: "Sitting in that carriage is very smooth on the road, more comfortable than sitting in that carriage, not bumpy at all." It's so smooth and comfortable. ”

"I think it's good that the train is good, but the space is too small and a little uncomfortable."

Liu Xia smiled and said, "It's a locomotive there, and the natural space is a little smaller." In the future, if you let people sit, you will naturally not sit in the locomotive, but increase the carriage, so that people can sit comfortably in the carriage. ”

Then Liu Xia talked with the four people for a while and explained his requirements. So he let the four go down and rest.

Then after everyone looked at the train for a quarter of an hour, Liu Xia led Luo Chengxian and some officials to the conference hall of the Academy of Science and Technology. Everyone sat down in turn, because the officials and academicians present in Liu Xia seemed a little restrained.

Liu Xia tried his best to be gentle, and said with a smile: "Everyone doesn't have to be so restrained, this king is not a tiger, right." All relax, relax. ”

When Liu Xia said this, he immediately burst into laughter. The atmosphere in the venue suddenly seemed to be relaxed.

Liu Xia also laughed dryly, and after a while, I saw Liu Xia wave his hand, cough dryly, and said, "Everyone be quiet." ”

Instantly, the venue fell silent.

Although now Liu Xia looks amiable and smiling. But which of these people doesn't know, what kind of person Liu Xia is? Who dared to save Liu Xia's face.

Liu Xia turned his head to Na Luo Chengxian and said, "Chengxian, you have merit in this matter, and this king will not forget it." Today, the king also saw the train, which is indeed good and meets the requirements of the king, but now it needs to be further tested. Now there's only one locomotive, and then you have to add some carriages, which don't have to be too big at first, and can seat forty or fifty people. Get five or six carriages first, and install a locomotive at both ends of the carriages, one to go and one to return. And the railroad tracks will be extended. At present, the train track is extended to the south gate of Luoyang, and a railway station is being built at the south gate. First build ten kilometers long. ”

Luo Chengxian was naturally happy, but he still frowned and said, "Lord Wang, it's okay to build train tracks, but—but—but—our Academy of Science and Technology doesn't have that much money to buy steel rails at the moment!" ”

When Liu Xia heard this, his brows stretched, and he thought it was something, wasn't it just money? Liu Xia doesn't have much now, just a lot of money. So he said: "If you don't have much money, go to the financial secretary to get it, and this king still has this money." ”

"If you're done experimenting, then extend the railroad tracks to the east of Yanshi City, and build a train station in Yanshi City as well. At that time, the king will let the hundred officials board the train and see the scenery along the way. ”

Liu Xia's words suddenly raised Luo Chengxian's ambition, and he saw that his face was red with excitement, and he seemed to be full of energy. He swore heavily in front of Liu Xia: "My subordinates will definitely complete the task successfully!" Never let down the prince's trust in his subordinates! ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Xia left the Academy of Science and Technology and came to the nearby military factory, where Liu Xia looked at some muskets developed by the personnel of those military factories.

The musket is still a flintlock pistol, and as for the firing pistol, there is no place now. After all, flintlock pistols are still sent out by igniting the firing, which has great drawbacks. It's not as good as the firing gun, hit the ** directly, make it explode, and ignite the ** inside the bullet. Where is the power of the flintlock pistol?

However, Liu Xia is not in a hurry, the level of the craftsmen at the moment is like this, and Liu Xia himself doesn't know how to make it. It can only be explored step by step by the craftsmen.

After returning to Luoyang, Liu Xia immediately established the Pingbei Military Railway Corporation, which was responsible for the construction and operation of railways. In the first stage, Liu Xia did not plan to directly put it into commercial use, but to transport troops and materials. At the same time, it also indirectly helps those merchants to make money by transporting goods. At the same time, a business car was opened up for businessmen to sit in. However, the price is naturally free.

The second stage was to build a large number of trains, put them on the train tracks, and start hauling the people. In this way, it is convenient for the people and at the same time can make money.

At present, the person in charge of the head office asked Luo Chengxian to serve as the manager, and then asked someone to send Luo Chengxian a letter of appointment, according to Liu Xia's plan. First build a railway from Luoyang to the Tiger Prison, the first stage was built to the Yanshi, once the test was successful, it continued to extend to the Tiger Prison Pass, and it was much more convenient to transport troops later.

The second railway is from Luoyang to Xi'an, and the first step is to Tongguan. After that, it was slowly built. Liu Xia took out a map of China and twisted four train lines on it, in the shape of a meter. This is Liu Xia's railway plan in the future.

After thinking about everything, Liu Xia lay comfortably on the chair. Rubbed his head.

At this moment, it was already dark, and Liu Xia was tired for a day. He stood up, twisted his head, and suddenly crackled.

"Someone! Go to Fengqi Pavilion. ”

"Ride the Fengqi Pavilion!" One of the guards shouted.

Last time, because of something, Liu Xia left from Fengqi Pavilion in a hurry, although he stripped Da Yu'er of his clothes, he didn't enjoy it. Liu Xia happened to have a time today, so he thought of the big jade again.

In the past few days, Da Yu'er has not rested well, and her face is slightly thin. The main reason is that she learned the news of the defeat of the Qing army, and since Liu Xia appeared, she seems to have become a person who specializes in defeating the Qing army. Each time it was a great defeat for the Qing army. The iron horseman, who was originally invincible in the world, could not be said to be like tofu in front of Liu Xia now, but it was not too strong.

Da Yu'er was thinking hard about the future of her Qing Dynasty at the moment, not knowing that her only son, the little Emperor Fulin, had been in the palace for a long time because he missed her.

"Emperor, how are you now, I heard that Dolgon held a big wedding for you and married two imperial concubines. Alas, God bless me in the Qing Dynasty, may I be in good health in the Qing Dynasty, and my emperor will become a generation of Ming monarchs. ”
