239 First appearance

"Woo woo woo !!"

Accompanied by a long and distant whistling sound, from the deep valley of the R&D Institute, a huge black shadow with a body of more than one zhang, with a chimney rising to the sky, emitted a huge amount of gray and white smoke, and dragged a long figure slowly towards the square where Li Tianyang was located in the continuous sound of "clanging and clanging".

"Wow!!"

"W-What is that??!!

Shocked, surprised, panicked and other expressions flashed on the faces of many members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce one by one, so that Li Tianyang, who had been prepared for a long time, saw it clearly.

The steam engine has been the biggest secret of Hongmen since the beginning of the question, not to mention the steam train that relies on the seat of the steam engine.

The trains that can be pushed out by later generations of scientists are naturally very in line with scientific principles, so it is normal for the steam trains studied by Hongmen now to have a similar appearance to the trains of later generations.

"Don't panic, this is the protagonist of this official invitation to visit my R&D institute, I named it the steam locomotive, which is a machine that does not need manpower to propulse!!"

Li Tianyang's voice was quiet, but it revealed a look of pride and pride, slowly explaining to everyone that this steel creation was slowly approaching.

"Wow, is this the legendary Wooden Ox Flowing Horse??"

Looking at the dark steel tools that were gradually approaching and slowing down slowly on the two rails, no longer needing Li Tianyang to explain, everyone finally solved their previous speculation about the role of these two rails.

"Hmm............ I haven't seen the technical officer of the wooden ox flowing horse, but the technical official of this steam train can introduce one or two to you. ”

Li Tianyang was a little speechless, and he felt that he would link this great invention to an ancient legend, but in his opinion, he looked down on their steam train, but thinking that the other party had never seen such a magical trick, it was common to guess with imagination.

The train gradually stopped at the railroad tracks next to Li Tianyang, and when it was completely stopped, Li Tianyang walked to the door of the first carriage of the train first, and stretched out his hand to the proprietors to make a gesture of invitation.

After many improvements, the carrying capacity of the train has been very similar to the improvement, before starting a train with a locomotive was a little reluctant, now it can drag three wood-iron mixed carriages up to more than three feet long, at a speed of more than 20 miles per hour.

The space in the carriage is not small, and there are still plenty of vacant seats after at least sixty or so members of the Chamber of Commerce have taken their seats in front of the special fixed seats in the carriage.

In order to let everyone experience the driving of the steam train this time, Chen Cai and they built a carriage early, and even installed a wooden table for snacks and tea in front of the three-person row on the left and right sides.

The wooden table was already full of all kinds of pastries and tea, and after everyone sat down under Dong Haoran's arrangement, Li Tianyang turned his head and nodded at Chen Cai, who was standing between the locomotive and the carriage, indicating that he could start.

"Woooooooooo

The train roared again, and after a vibration from the body of the train, the proprietors who had just taken their seats in the carriage could not help but notice that the so-called steam train under their feet began to move again.

"It's moving, it's moving!!"

The scenery on both sides of the carriage gradually moved back, and the unique collision sound between the train wheels and the rails echoed in the carriage, which brought great trouble to Li Tianyang and them to talk and chat.

In this era when there were no soundproofing materials, it was difficult to ensure the quietness in the train carriage like later generations, but looking at the owners who were full of interest at this time, shaking their heads and looking around at the construction of the carriages, looking at the scenery outside the car and moving backwards, Li Tianyang shook his head, until even if he talked to these people now, they were afraid that they would not have the heart to listen to what they said!

In fact, there have been many experiments on manned people on steam trains, but Li Tianyang is the first time to take this train like the group of Nanyang Chamber of Commerce proprietors around him.

However, Li Tianyang, who has taken the train and high-speed rail of the future, does not feel any magic at all about this train that seems to be stable and fast to others, and naturally he will not have all kinds of meaningful expressions like these people in front of him.

The train runs smoothly on the tracks, and when the speed reaches its maximum, even the passengers in the carriages do not feel a single bump, and the tea and snacks on their tables do not move at all, which is the biggest difference from other means of transportation such as horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, and sedan chairs in this era.

While enjoying the scenery outside the window, several people discussed the advantages and disadvantages of this train in a tone of surprise and speculation, and even began to imagine how this thing worked.

Soon, someone saw the figure of Bengang County when they left in the morning from the window, and the county pavilions and pavilions that were getting closer and closer were rapidly approaching them, making them all sigh again, the speed of the train.

You know, when they left Bengang in the morning to go to the valley where the R&D Institute was located, it actually took them an hour to reach the location of the R&D Institute by horse, but now they have only been on the train for half an hour, and they have already returned to the starting point of their departure, how this speed does not make them amazed by the fight.

"My lord, can I wait and see the inner workings of this train?"

As a young man, Xu Zhiyou, the head of the Xu clan on Chongming Island, who was finally in charge of Defuxuan, finally couldn't hold back his interest after the train stopped, and put forward this opinion to Li Tianyang that seemed to him to be a bit indifferent.

"Of course, even if you don't say it, in fact, I want to invite you to visit our computer room." Li Tianyang smiled, the other party's proposal was in his arms, how could he refuse, this way, everyone was full of all kinds of curiosity about this huge steel creation, it was the time for him to show everyone: "It's just that this computer room is a little hot, don't easily touch the machine in the computer room!" ”

First of all, after telling everyone a few precautions, Li Tianyang took people and walked towards the front gate of the car where Chen Cai was in his hand.
