Soon, everyone walked to the edge of Huangzhuang, which was already inaccessible, Zhou Zhengxiong asked Yucheng to pass the order, and the accompanying guards began to deploy two or three kilometers away from them to prevent anyone from breaking in.

Seeing that all the preparations had been made, Ling Yu took out the psionic locomotive from the storage ring, this was another one he made, the size was similar to the compact car in Ling Yu's previous life, about 4.6 meters long, about 1.5 meters wide, and weighed about 1.6 tons, the door became like an ordinary car with four doors on both sides of the car, this locomotive is the product of many research and improvements, so the various technologies used are also the most advanced technologies that Ling Yu can currently use.

Zhou Shaobin looked at this locomotive, his eyes lit up, this car is very different from the car he took last time, although he has not tried it, but he can also see that it is much better than the one he took before.

"Virtuous son-in-law, is this the psionic locomotive that Bin'er is talking about? Let's start experimenting. Although Zhou Zhengxiong didn't know much about psionic locomotives, but somehow, when he saw the appearance of the locomotive, he couldn't say what he liked in his heart, and he wanted to know more about it.

"Yes, father-in-law, then let's get on the train, and I'll introduce you to the locomotive in detail later." Hearing Zhou Zhengxiong's name change for him, he naturally changed with him, and there were no outsiders at this time, so he was a little more casual.

Under the guidance of Ling Yu, Zhou Zhengxiong and Zhou Shaobin walked on the rear seat, today's locomotive because it is four doors, so it is much easier to get on the car, and soon the two of them entered the car and sat down, the seat is also designed by Ling Yu according to the car seat in the information, and the use of high-end leather, the leather products of this era do not exist in the so-called artificial leather, Zhou Zhengxiong sat on the leather seat, felt comfortable, the leather chair was filled with a lot of cotton, and it was very comfortable to sit softly.

"Virtuous son-in-law, what kind of way is this chair, and why is it so comfortable to sit on?" Zhou Zhengxiong asked with interest, he was very curious about everything about the locomotive now.

"Father-in-law, this is a leather seat, if your father-in-law likes it, my son-in-law will go back and make you a few leather sofas, so that you can be more comfortable when you review and deal with state affairs in the imperial study in the future." Ling Yu said with a smile, the chair in the hospitality area of his chamber of commerce store has now been replaced with a leather sofa, so there was no surprise after Zhou Shaobin got into the car.

"It's so good, if you need anything, tell me, and I'll allocate it to you." Zhou Zhengxiong said with great interest.

"Thank you, father-in-law." Although Ling Yu didn't need Zhou Zhengxiong to help him allocate any resources, he still opened his mouth to thank him.

After arranging Yucheng to sit in the passenger seat, Ling Yu also got into the car, and now the interior of the vehicle is very close to the appearance of Ling Yu's car in his previous life, and even the dashboard Xiaoling has designed a simple dashboard according to the characteristics of spiritual energy, which can view the locomotive speed and spirit crystal stock, but because it cannot be accurately counted, the data on this dashboard is not absolutely accurate, but it is just a general idea.

After Ling Yu sat down, he pressed the start button, the whole vehicle "hummed" softly, and then slowly floated, the windshield and the four-door windows were also produced with the kind of glass charm designed by Xiaoling before, basically the same as glass, and the locomotive also slowly suspended, almost 15 centimeters above the ground as before.

Zhou Zhengxiong touched the car window curiously and asked, "What is this?" Before Ling Yu could speak, Zhou Shaobin on the side said: "Father, this is a glass talisman improved by Brother Ling from the ice armor rune, and its function is to block the wind when the car is driven, and it can also let the passengers see the scenery outside." ”

Zhou Zhengxiong nodded to show that he understood, and then began to ask with great interest some things he didn't understand, fortunately, Ling Yu had taken Zhou Shaobin to experience the first generation of locomotives before, although the current locomotive has been improved for many generations, but many things are actually similar, so seeing Zhou Shaobin explaining on the side, he didn't say much, stepped on the propulsion pedal, and the locomotive started slowly, and then the speed became faster and faster.

The interior of the locomotive is now equipped with air conditioning and heating, this will be October, and the weather has begun to gradually get cooler, so Ling Yu turned on the weak heating and adjusted it to the right temperature, which is neither too hot nor too cold, which makes people very comfortable.

Looking at the scenery outside the window that was flying faster and faster, Zhou Zhengxiong asked, "Virtuous son-in-law, how fast can this locomotive run?" ”

"Father-in-law, the current latest technology of the psionic engine can make the locomotive speed reach about 150 kilometers per hour, and the locomotive is suspended about 15 centimeters above the ground, which can adapt well to various terrains, as long as it is not too big obstacles, it can be ignored." Ling Yu replied as he drove.

"Virtuous son-in-law, is it feasible to use it to transport troops or to strengthen the connection between the imperial court and the state capitals?" An emperor is an emperor, and Zhou Zhengxiong immediately thought of the military and political use of locomotives.

"Father-in-law, this is naturally possible, but the troop locomotive son-in-law is still working on a large psionic locomotive to transport troops or transport large quantities of goods, but it can't solve the power problem for the time being, and the current psionic engine drives a locomotive like this is already the limit, no matter how big the car is, the performance will drop greatly, especially the locomotive used to transport people and goods, it will be even more unbearable, and it may not even be as fast as the horse-drawn carriage." Ling Yu explained that he had designed the psionic troop carrier very early, but the power problem had not been solved, so it could not be manufactured, although Xiao Ling had already designed to use explosive runes to generate kinetic energy like a traditional gasoline engine, but because there was no rubber in Da Zhou at present, it was impossible to make tires, and the cost of boiling rubber-like materials with cow tendon was too high, and the road conditions in Da Zhou at this time could not meet the needs of use, so it was directly rejected by Ling Yu. 52

"That's okay, I think that today's locomotives are no problem to meet the needs of strengthening exchanges between state capitals, and I can also send out imperial historians to regularly inspect various places, with locomotives, both speed and convenience are much stronger." Zhou Zhengxiong pondered.

"What my father-in-law said is very true, but the son-in-law has a suggestion for this." Ling Yu thought for a while and said.

"Oh? If the virtuous son-in-law has any suggestions, let's hear them. Zhou Zhengxiong's heart is full of anticipation, and Ling Yu can always surprise him.

"With the current performance of the locomotive, according to the father-in-law's idea is feasible, the son-in-law feels that you can start from the governor yamen of each province, and the government is equipped with one at each level, and the bottom reaches the county office, so that the officials can respond in a more timely manner when dealing with local affairs, from the timeliness of government affairs to the communication between various places can have a good effect, if the distribution is completed, every year the father-in-law convenes the local officials to Beijing to report on their work, it can also be a lot more convenient, if the inspection institute is equipped with a locomotive, The father-in-law can organize the inspection team of each province and order them to go out to inspect once a month, due to the particularity of the locomotive, the feedback will be very timely, so that the father-in-law can better and faster understand the situation in various places. ”

"In terms of military affairs, the son-in-law can design a small psionic locomotive for individual use, minimize the cost, and distribute it to individual soldiers, which can greatly improve the marching speed of the army and allow the army to gain greater advantages when fighting."

Ling Yu told his thoughts, then stopped, waiting for Zhou Zhengxiong's response, although his idea is good, but if he does it like this, the cost will have to go, not to mention the cost of locomotive manufacturing, the consumption of spirit crystals alone is terrifying, the locomotive they are riding now, a low-grade spirit crystal can only travel a hundred kilometers, this is still the result of the optimization of various runes designed by Xiao Ling, this is just like the government of Ling Yu's previous life, the car distribution is in place, and the cost of gasoline is the sea.

Zhou Zhengxiong pondered for a while and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, your idea is very good, but according to the current treasury income of the Great Zhou, I am afraid that it will not be able to bear such a large expense, just to build a locomotive It costs an incomparably large amount, plus the cost of spirit crystals, the burden is too heavy, I will decide after thinking about this matter, as for the army, the army is about to be trained, and the army equipment is the top priority, and the rest can be done step by step." As the emperor, Zhou Zhengxiong quickly thought of this, and finally decided to slow down the locomotive, and the army training was the most important thing now.

"So, the son-in-law understands." When Ling Yu heard Zhou Zhengxiong say this, he knew that it was not the time, and he was not in a hurry, the cost of locomotives was still too high, and it was indeed not suitable for large-scale distribution.

"Virtuous son-in-law, I think this locomotive is good, so it might as well be my royal chariot." Zhou Zhengxiong smiled and asked Ling Yu directly, and Zhou Shaobin on the side was envious, but he couldn't ask for it for a long time.

"My father-in-law likes it, and my son-in-law should follow it, but my father-in-law is a social worker, so he must send reliable people to learn to drive a psionic locomotive." Ling Yu didn't have too much reluctance, it was easy to build another one with the resources of the current Academy of Sciences, not to mention that his father-in-law needed it, and he had no reason to refuse, but he just proposed to let Zhou Zhengxiong send someone to learn to drive.

"This is nature, Yucheng, you can learn to drive with your son-in-law." Zhou Zhengxiong said happily.

So, Ling Yu stopped on the spot, let Zhou Zhengxiong and Zhou Shaobin get out of the car and wait, he let Yucheng sit in the driver's seat, and he sat in the passenger seat and began to guide Yucheng to learn to drive.

The locomotive is engraved with a fourth-level defense rune, so even if it hits the car, the people in the car should not be in much danger, but it is not good if it hits people, so Ling Yu carefully explained to Yucheng the driving knowledge of the locomotive and some precautions.

After a few hours of study, Yucheng also initially learned how to drive, but he was not very proficient, and Da Zhou did not have the concept of a driver's license, so Yucheng could only firmly remember what Ling Yu said, and then practice more.

After letting Yucheng practice for a while, the car stopped, Ling Yu got out of the car and walked to Zhou Zhengxiong's side and said: "Father-in-law, Father-in-law Yu has basically mastered the driving skills, just be careful when driving, if you drive in the city, your father-in-law must not let him drive too fast, there is no problem with the locomotive's own defensive performance, but there are many people in the city, you must pay special attention not to touch people." ”

"Yes, I see." Zhou Zhengxiong nodded and smiled.

"Brother Ling, give me one when you want." Zhou Shaobin pleaded on the side.

"Baked cakes, now the locomotive is not yet exposed, bear with it, it will always be given to you in the future, don't worry." Ling Yu said with a smile.

"Bin'er, what your brother-in-law said is right, it's not yet time to be exposed, and when I make an order to promote locomotives in the future, your benefits will naturally be indispensable, and you won't be able to drive it yet, if you don't study hard, I won't let you drive a locomotive." Zhou Zhengxiong said with a smile, he was very pleased with Ling Yu's caution, and he would cultivate it in the future, and wait for his son to ascend the throne in the future, this is an excellent auxiliary minister, calm, wise, and talented, and the more Zhou Zhengxiong thinks about it, the more beautiful it is.
