The fuel used in steam locomotives is naturally coal.

Fortunately, Kennam-do produces coal, and the utilization of coal is very low in this era.

Long before, Li Su bought the largest coal mountains in Jiannan Province.

Coal, Li Su also ordered someone to mine it a long time ago and sent it here.

Now it's just a matter of filling up the train with coal and adding water.

Next, Li Su called dozens of apprentices he personally selected to the train and imparted some knowledge of driving to them.

This trip to Chang'an was naturally driven by Li Su.

And Li Su will also find a train conductor among these people.

Just when Li Su patiently explained the principle of train driving to these people, on the other side, someone arranged by Li Su added coal and water to the car.

There are also people loading mirrors and glass into the inside of the truck bed.

This was the condition that Li Su promised to be from a family such as five surnames and seven wangs.

Five families surnamed Qiwang and other families funded the construction of the railway, and after the railway was repaired, Li Su would use the convenience of the railway to help them transport the mirror to Chang'an.

This time, since you are going to Chang'an, I will send the mirror to them directly.

Half a day's work, all the knowledge has been explained.

Li Su found that among these apprentices, one of them was named Su Pengcheng, and his ability to accept it was the fastest.

This name has been quietly engraved into my mind and has been put on a key watch list.

If he has strong practical skills, then he can be trained as the conductor of the Datang Pioneer train.

And over there, the glass, also filled ten train cars.

Next, it's time to set sail.

This time, Li Su decided to take Li Yuanfang with him, plus a hundred guards and soldiers.

As for Xue Rengui, it's better to stay in Yizhou.

Now Xue Rengui is busy.

The 5,000 recruits are currently Xue Rengui in charge of training.

Even the errand of the escort team, Xue Rengui was ready to hand it over.

Even the candidates have been searched, and they are selected from the escort team, whose name is Liu Zhixiang, and he is currently temporarily acting as the escort team.

Shen Wei, the bodyguard that Concubine Yang gave to Li Su, was also left by Li Su to Wu Meiniang.

Of course, the two shadow guards that Li Shimin gave to Li Su to protect his safety were not sent by Li Su, and they were still secretly protecting Li Su's safety.

and Xue Xiaoxiao, naturally, also followed Li Su and protected his safety closely.

In addition, Li Su also brought some gifts.

For example, sweet potatoes, peanuts and corn, Li Su used the preservation method to preserve some of them.

This time, I brought it back and gave it away.

For example, perfumes, soaps, shampoos and other materials, this time, a batch will also be shipped to Chang'an.

On the one hand, I have to give it away, and on the other hand, I have to go to Chang'an to advertise.

This time, Li Su was not ready to act as an agent for this business to others.

In the past, Li Su did not have his own channels, and he had a lot of business, so he could only find someone to cooperate.

But now, Wu Meiniang is here.

Wu Meiniang is a business genius, and now there is Li Su, the king of Shu, standing behind her.

In the past half a year, Wu Meiniang has not been idle.

Letters were sent out one after another, and many channels of the martial family's business in the past had been won over by Wu Meiniang.

These people are willing to take refuge in Wu Meiniang.

Of course, on the bright side, they are still the channels of the samurai.

If it is against the water now, it will attract the attention of the Wu brothers.

Wu Meiniang will wait until a foolproof opportunity to do anything about the martial family's business, ensuring that the martial family will be put to death.

Everything is ready and the train is about to go.

……

The boiler began to ignite, and a few strong men worked hard to add coal to the boiler.

On the chimney above the steam engine, thick black smoke came out.

The whole locomotive made a loud roar.

Within a radius of several miles, there was a feeling of trembling.

This made the nearby officials and people from the family, as well as the spies from Tubo, Tuyuhun, Nanzhao and other places, as well as the people who came to watch, all show infinite horror on their faces.

It's really, terrifying that this behemoth can smoke, scream, and make such a big noise.

Could it be that this fetish, called a train, can really run?

In half an hour, the warm-up was successful, and the instrument showed that everything was normal.

So, under the manipulation of Li Su, the train started slowly.

"It's moving! It's moving! ”

"You can really run!"

"Oh my God! How many things are pulled on this artifact? ”

"Just those coals, I'm afraid there are thousands of catties? There are so many goods loaded, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of catties? ”

"Is this train so powerful?"

"This, I'm afraid it's not an immortal artifact, right?"

Amid the discussion of countless onlookers, the train began to speed up little by little.

Ku RUB, Ku RUB, Ku RUB......

The speed became faster and faster, faster and faster, and under the stunned gaze of countless people, it drove away like a lightning speed, and soon a small black dot in the painting disappeared from their sight.

"I'm a god grandpa, why is it so fast?"

"He's a fairy, the fastest horse, can't outrun this train, right?"

"People are still pulling tens of thousands of pounds of things!"

"Is this the railroad we built?"

"Immortals! O gods! This is definitely a fairy method! ”

On the train, the speed of the wind made everyone who took the train for the first time, except for Li Su, everyone showed panicked expressions.

Even Li Su's personal bodyguard Li Yuanfang is no exception.

Well, in fact, even Li Yu himself, his face was a little pale.

The speed of this train, said to be 200 kilometers per hour, is now unattainable.

Two hundred kilometers per hour is the optimal speed of an empty car.

Carrying so much cargo, the speed is 1560 kilometers.

But the problem is that the train is still primitive after all, and the shock absorption and comfort are much worse.

When Li Su took the train in his later life, where did he ever make such a train? Where have you ever been hit by such bumps?

But fortunately, although there were some bumps, at least Li Su would not be afraid.

As long as the railroad is in good condition, trains can be said to be the safest means of transportation in this era.

The train, the only one, will never crash.

There are railroad tracks, and there will be no derailment.

The guards, their hands clutching tightly to their seats, turned grim.

Glancing out the window at the rapidly receding scenery, I was so frightened that I screamed and almost vomited.

Then he didn't dare to look any more and closed his eyes tightly.

They've never experienced such speed, and they've never experienced such excitement.

And Li Su found that in the crowd, Su Pengcheng was extremely calm.

He was even able to carry out some simple operations under the guidance of Li Su.
