Chapter 118 The great crime of trespassing is equivalent to tearing the flag and rebelling

Six or seven kilometers, even if it is day and night, it is more than 100 kilometers and more than 200 miles a day. From Anxi to Chang'an, it will take more than a month.

This speed is not even comparable to the speed of a four-wheeled carriage on the gallop road. However, trains are trains after all.

Although the speed of the four-wheeled carriage was somewhat faster than that of the steam engine train at this time, it was limited. The biggest advantage of steam engine trains is the low cost of transportation. And the volume of transportation is amazing, the carriage on the gallop carries much more than the four-wheeled carriage on the ordinary road, but it is also limited, at most it can carry more than 6,000 catties.

However, this steam engine train was hung with twelve trains as long as 10 zhang and 6 feet, about (2491) meters, and about 1 zhang and 2 feet (282 meters) wide, which was almost the same size as the passenger trains of later generations.

However, Chen Ying's face immediately darkened.

Because he found that this steam engine train actually had a very sassy operation, that is, the back of the locomotive was loaded with coal that could be burned, but it did not need people to shovel into the furnace one by one, but used the transmission mechanism of the steam engine to reduce the speed of the gear, and made a conveyor belt similar to the assembly line of later generations.

This Chen Ying is still unable to spit out the slag, the most important thing is that the burned cinders are actually thrown out of the car directly in the form of a conveyor belt and sprinkled on the side of the railroad tracks on the galloping road.

It can also be seen that this experimental train has been tried and tested, and on both sides of the tracks on the track, there are deposits of coal slag that can barely reach the surface of the foot.

Cinders are not a good thing, but they can't be put out of order, if the train runs for a long time, I'm afraid that the cinders will flood the tracks, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Anxi has less rain, if the cinders are littered, won't it form a sandstorm?

Looking at Chen Ying's unkind face, the original Flavi Zino, and now Zino hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Your Excellency, the speed will take a while to be faster!" ”

Chen Ying pointed to the conveyor belt that discharged cinders and said, "Whose idea was this?" ”

Zino cautiously looked at a simple-looking craftsman beside him.

The craftsman said with a happy face: "This is made by the grass people!" ”

Chen Ying turned to look at the guards behind him, and the train had only run less than five miles at this time. A layer of cinders had fallen on all of them, and the original black armor seemed to have turned gray.

Chen Yingdao: "What's your name?" ”

The honest craftsman bowed down and said: "Grass man Luo Shiming, a native of Gwangju, Huainan Province (today's Xinyang, Henan)......"

Without waiting for Luo Shiming to finish speaking, Chen Ying waved his hand and said, "Come on, whip him twenty whips, let him have a long memory!" ”

Chen Ying has always governed Anxi with military law, and there is no saying in Anxi that the military cannot interfere in government affairs, so immediately two personal guards grabbed Luo Shiming, raised their whips, and crackled and whipped.

At this moment, the train began to increase significantly faster, and even if it trotted forward, it could no longer keep up. As the steam engine train emitted billowing smoke, the train became faster and faster.

Chen Ying had no choice but to speed up, but fortunately, the war horses guarded by Chen Ying were all one in a hundred, and they could barely keep up. The Ili horses, the Three Hippos, and the Tibetan horses are not known for their rapid sprints, but their stamina is good. They can reach speeds of around 35 or 40 kilometers per hour.

As the train continued to speed up, the war horse had already experienced a lack of physical strength after chasing for three or four miles. However, Chen Ying's subordinates are all riding three horses, so there is no need to worry, just change horses and continue to chase.

It was at this time that the speed of the train began to slowly decrease.

It turned out that the end of the test had arrived.

Chen Ying looked at Zino and said, "How long is this distance?" ”

Zino said: "Twenty miles! ”

Chen Ying asked again: "How long did it take?" ”

Zino said, "A quarter of an hour." ”

Chen Ying nodded, an hour and four quarters of an hour, almost eighty miles, that is to say, forty kilometers. Although this speed is not fast, it is already a rare lightning speed in this era.

It is about 8,000 miles from Chang'an to Shule, if you don't stop halfway, according to this speed, you can reach Chang'an in about 100 hours, of course, this is impossible, the steam engine train is not the same as the internal combustion engine train, which needs to replenish coal and water, and there is no large machinery, this supply speed is not fast, even if it is fast, it will take half an hour or even longer.

Still, for sure.

Within a week, you can definitely reach Chang'an.

Although this train is not perfect, Chen Ying is already very satisfied.

Returning to the starting point of Shule Academy, Chen Ying looked at Luo Shiming, who was choked on the ground, and said, "Do you know why General Ben beat you?" ”

Luo Shiming shook his head and said, "The grass people don't know! ”

"How many times has General Ben told you, don't damage the environment, you just don't listen!" Speaking of this, Chen Ying looked at the United Nations craftsmen of the Zhongshule Academy and said: "According to what General Ben said, the cinder conveyor belt will be dismantled, and the cinders after burning in the future shall not be discharged at will!" ”

Luo Shiming nodded and said, "The grass people remember!" ”

But anyway, the train was finally built. Solve the yes or no problem first. After solving the problem, think about how to improve it.

In fact, there are many problems with this train, and the random discharge of cinders is only a very small point, such as the low efficiency and the consumption of too much coal, in fact, the most is not coal, but water. The 20 kilometers can hold 10,000 catties of water tank, and only less than 2,000 catties remain, which means that 10 kilometers need to consume more than 8,000 catties of water.

Like this experimental steam engine train, with a train loaded with coal and water hanging behind it, four large water tanks, plus coal, in fact, the farthest can run 200 miles to the sky.

If it's faster, it will take more coal and water.

If there is a problem, solve it, but for Shule Academy, the reward must still be rewarded!

"Shule Academy has made great contributions, and this general will be rewarded with one million yuan!" Speaking of this, Chen Ying looked at Zino and said: "Go back and divide all the craftsmen who participated in the research and development of the steam engine train project this time, according to the size of their contributions!" ”

"A million times!"

If calculated according to purchasing power, the Tang Dynasty has always been equivalent to 4,275, and 1 million guan is almost equal to more than 4 billion in later generations. Even if all the people in Shule Academy are counted, on average, each person can get at least more than three hundred guan, which is equivalent to one and a half million per person.

This reward instantly made the craftsmen of Shule Academy boil.

One million is actually not a small amount for Chen Ying, of course, if it weren't for the looting of the Tubo palace and sweeping away the wealth accumulated in Tubo for hundreds of years, Chen Ying would not be able to give a million yuan at one time.

Chen Ying did not hand over all the money to Li Jiancheng, not because he was greedy, but because Chen Ying understood the economy, whether it was currency or precious metals, there was actually a critical point, and once this critical point was passed, it would cause inflation.

Chen applied the method of large-scale development of the western region to build a crazy road, the purpose of which was to consume this wealth internally, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty in the world could benefit from it.

Chen Ying handed a bronze plaque to Zino and said with a smile: "This is a reward for you!" ”

Zino stretched out his hand to take the sign, but saw a line of small characters engraved on it in small block letters, and when he looked at it carefully, it was: "Efeng - the founder of Ye County." ”

The back of the bronze medal is engraved with Zino's name, and Zino strokes the bronze medal, puzzled in his heart.

Looking at the winner has no intention, looking at the heart.

Cangcao, the Anxi Metropolitan Protector who was in charge of supplying the supply of Shule Academy, joined the army, and Lu Zhikun's face suddenly became gloomy. He secretly wondered in his heart: "How can the general be so confused, the court's grace and prestige are still there, isn't this putting himself on the stove to roast?" ”

The feudal power, in the hands of the Son of Heaven, never said that the feudal town was feudal and the imperial court recognized it afterwards, Chen Ying asked to be named a baron is one thing, and it is another thing to make Zino a baron himself, the former is just to ask for merit for his subordinates, and the latter is a big crime of trespassing, which is equivalent to pulling the flag and rebelling.
