Chapter 193: Trains
The Ba Bear people are very honest.
When he drives, he drives honestly and doesn't think cranky.
After two trips and back to Qingping County again, Ba Xiong checked the car again and prepared to go home from work.
At this moment, a small official rode into the bus station on a horse, and said to the drivers who were about to get off work at the bus station: "That, let's get off work later today, Master Dragon King and Master Quan Gang summoned everyone to go to the craftsman camp and set off immediately." ”
Ba Xiong's heart moved, the craftsman camp? Isn't that where Mo Liang and Ma are responsible? It seems that it is a matter of steam cars.
Jet cars were not allowed in the county, so everyone had to take a horse-drawn carriage and use a horse-drawn carriage to pull them to the craftsman's camp.
Along the way, the drivers were also talking about the front page of today's Dawei Dragon King newspaper.
"That's a blessing, the power is infinite, fast as a galloping horse, I can't look at it, if I can be blessed by the dragon king, how good it would be."
"Haha, don't even think about it, the Dragon King has said that there must be great merit, let's drive, it's good if there is no accident, but there is no great merit."
"You say, if you drive for decades and then don't have an accident once, is it a great achievement?"
As soon as these words came out, all the drivers looked at Ba Xiong, because it seemed that Ba Xiong alone had not had an accident.
Ba Xiong smiled: "I hope so, but that will be decades away"
Everyone laughed again, decades later, too far away, and then talked about the steam car.
"Do any of you know what a steam car is? I know about steam rollovers. ”
A driver replied: "The steam car is a car propelled by a steam engine, in fact, this is not the first time Ma Jun and Mo Liang have made a steam car, last year, the steam overturned car was built, the dragon king went to see it, very much appreciated, and then asked them to build a steam car, they built several cars, now it is the fifth or sixth time, and I tell you, there is also the matter of Zhen's firm, Zhen's firm got a lot of charcoal back, so the steam car was built." ”
"Ouch, how do you know so well?"
"I have a brother who is a craftsman, and he always tells me this, of course I know."
"Will steam cars be able to replace jet cars in the future? Are we going to drive a steam car? ”
"Did you know that there was a kind of rail car in Qianqin?"
"Well, you know, the car is on the same track, which means the rail car."
"The dragon king calls this kind of car a train, the craftsman camp has laid some tracks, the steam car is said to run on this kind of track, we should not be able to drive it now, the steam car is very troublesome, a person can't drive it at all, but maybe, if the dragon king wants to choose the driver of the steam car, our chances will definitely be greater."
"Our Qingping County is changing more and more."
"That's right, often every few days, there is a change, such as the tree of knowledge, tsk."
Now there are a total of four trees of knowledge in Qingping County, distributed in the four corners of Qingping County, many people care about the tree of knowledge, and they all know that the Dragon King is doing a big thing, and is going to get something called a local area network, what is a local area network, the dragon king has also explained, but because no one has used it, so there is only a vague concept.
A driver pointed to the ground: "Let's go down here, it is said that it is all nets." ”
"Well, the Tree of Knowledge relies on these nets and vines to connect them, and the whole adult also sent a small official to publicize it everywhere some time ago, saying that when digging the foundation in the future, you must pay attention to it, and you must report it first, so as not to dig up the nets and vines."
"I don't know what will become of our Qingping County after the LAN appears."
"Anyway, it will definitely be better, three years ago, what was Qingping County like, and what is it like now? These are all brought by the Dragon King. ”
"The Dragon King's divine might."
Talking and laughing all the way, soon everyone came to the craftsman's camp, and got off the carriage at the door of the craftsman's camp, and someone led them, and instead of going to the craftsman's camp, they made a detour and went to the back of the craftsman's camp.
At the back of the craftsman's camp, everyone saw a huge iron thing, presumably this was a steam car, and the Dragon King and Quan Gang were also standing not far away.
Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and the Dragon King asked them to be exempted: "Delay everyone from work." ”
Everyone hurriedly said it was all right.
"This car is the steam car mentioned in today's Dawei Dragon King newspaper, I'll call it a train, this time I asked you to come over, I want you to see this steam car, in addition, I will also select some of you people to train and become train drivers."
"Dragon King, is this train made of iron? It looks so thick. ”
"Most of them are made of iron, and the weight is estimated to be more than a dozen tons." Quan Gang explained on the side, and asked everyone to come forward: "This is the locomotive, the steam engine is placed here, and behind this is the carriage, which is used to carry goods and people." ”
The length of this train has to be fifteen meters, Ba Xiong stepped forward, knocked the train with his hand, it felt all iron, Quan Gang was very curious, how could he run with such a weight?
"At present, Qingping and Mingfeng counties are laying tracks, this is a special track for trains, and when the track is laid, the train will run several times in the two counties, and now Mo Liang and Ma Jun are still improving this train, maybe next time you look at it, this train will change again."
At this time, the door of the front of the train opened, and two people came out of it, and everyone looked at it, it was not Ma Jun and Mo Liang, both of them had black faces and sweating profusely, but they smiled happily, with a mouthful of white teeth.
Quan Gang instructed everyone: "You go in with Ma Jun and Mo Liang and feel the power of the train." ”
When everyone heard this, they hesitated, said hello to Ma Jun and Mo Liang, and rushed in.
Ba Xiong walked to the back, waited for him to go in, and found that it was stuffed inside, and there was a smell of something that I didn't know what it was, anyway, it didn't smell good, and it was very hot, very hot, and after a while, Ba Xiong was covered in sweat.
"There are too many people, go out first, it's hot." Someone shouted.
Ba Xiong hurriedly retreated.
Then he went in one by one, and when Ba Xiong went in, he found that it was a dark room, and there was a small cubicle outside, and Ma Jun called him into the cubicle, and as soon as he entered, it became even hotter, because there was a big stove there.
Ba Xiong doesn't need to know the principle of the steam car, he only knows that there will be at least three people on the steam car in the future, one driver, and two people who will add a furnace, but this is only a preliminary decision, just as the dragon king said, maybe next time, Ma Jun and Mo Liang have already improved the steam car.
After the drivers finished reading, Quan Gang let them go to the carriage again, saying that they would feel the power of the train.
In a shrill sound, the train rumbled and vibrate, the vibration was so loud that these drivers were a little suspicious of life, and several of them almost vomited, and they were also shaking like this, and the train started slowly and started moving.
