Chapter 779: Arriving in Fushun

Han Qi is a capable man who goes on the horse and dismounts, as a young official, when he once commanded the army, he also rode a horse, and his equestrian skills are quite proficient, plus he has been riding trains for a long time, passing through various parts of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he is very sensitive to speed.

When the speed reached the speed of an ordinary Northern Song Dynasty train and had not stopped, Han Qi looked at it quite attentively.

After reaching the ordinary fast horse speed, Han Qi's face showed a shocked expression, the horse-drawn train cannot reach such a speed, although his absolute number is not much different, but this level, to a certain extent, the faster transmission system is the combination of the train and the expedited system, and when they are at their limit, the speed can even reach 1300 kilometers per day.

If the train can reach the speed of a fast horse, and there is no need for a horse, the practicality of this technology is very high.

However, this speed is not the end, especially after reaching the speed of the fast horse, it stopped slightly, and after maintaining this speed, it seemed that a roar came, and the whole carriage had a fairly obvious acceleration, obviously, this acceleration did not stop, but continued to accelerate.

This speed is impossible to achieve by anything before, even the most elite war horse, the limit may reach 50-60 kilometers, that is not the premise of manning, if riding, 45 kilometers is a limit.

Now, this train, on the basis of the limit, has increased a considerable speed, and can even reach the full speed of a fast horse running alone, which is very terrifying.

From this speed, Han Qi's sensitivity to speed is still very strong, the speed of the general horse-drawn train, between 25 kilometers and 35 kilometers, an average of 30 kilometers need to change horses, the speed of fast horses to go all out, about 40 kilometers, and some elite a little bit, is more than 45 kilometers, and there are very few horses that really reach 50 kilometers, because these superb horses are very impactful, their sprinting ability is quite powerful, when sprinting short distances, they can reach more than 50 kilometers, But these horses, at most, can not continue after sprinting for a few miles.

Now, the train has reached such a high-speed sprint speed on the premise of maintaining speed, which is very terrifying, which means that they have a higher speed and can travel more miles in the same time.

For railways and trains, from unfamiliarity to gradual understanding, Han Qi still put a lot of effort into it, why Bianliang and the Northern Song Dynasty, the area directly controlled is larger, that is, the circle of half a day, and how much distance can be reached in half a day, which is the actual line of control.

In the first half a day, it was one or twenty miles, and if you add horseback riding, it is one or two hundred miles, which is the original Gyeonggi, except for the strong control in the near distance, and the control will decline outside the real 50 miles.

By rail, by train, you can walk thousands of miles in a day, and the scope of Gyeonggi naturally expanded, reaching more than 500 li, or even 600 li, which is a very large and terrible area, and the strength of Gyeonggi also greatly increased the control of the Northern Song Dynasty.

This is actually the reason why the train appeared and was implemented on a large scale, why did Taizu of the Northern Song Dynasty release the military power with a glass of wine, and strengthen the centralization of power, and got 800,000 forbidden troops in the capital, isn't it a strong cadre and weak branches, now, with the train, the control of the surrounding has greatly increased, a huge Gyeonggi, for the entire Northern Song Dynasty, the radiation effect is quite large, and the other roads, a little stronger, as long as it is far from Gyeonggi, can be accepted.

The previous control range was under the speed of the horse-drawn train, and now, there is this machine that is not a horse, but faster than a horse, and seeing that his speed can even reach twice that of the horse-drawn train, as long as the Northern Song Dynasty obtains it, the control range of the Northern Song Dynasty can be doubled.

In fact, Han Qi still miscalculated the limit of this train, according to the speed of 60 kilometers per hour, and not a horse, there are certain lighting facilities, generally speaking, but 24 hours of uninterrupted operation, then the distance of a day, according to the calculation of 20 hours a day, at least 1200 kilometers, that is, 2400 miles calculated by the Northern Song Dynasty.

2400 miles, which is almost 3 times the distance of the horse-drawn train, according to the speed of the Northern Song Dynasty train, in addition to some special trains and express trains, generally speaking, divided into three grades, 700 miles a day, 900 miles a day, the highest, is only 1200 miles.

The highest kind of consumption of horsepower is huge, unless there are some special circumstances, such as some more important materials and letters need to be delivered, otherwise, it is generally the first two, so that on average, it is 800 miles, only one-third of 2400 miles.

Triple the increase, under this speed, the distance will gradually shorten, this is what the railway shows, even if it is half a day, it is a radius of 600 kilometers, even if it is a square, it is also a land of more than 1.5 million square kilometers, compared to more than 3 million square kilometers in the Northern Song Dynasty, almost half of it.

This is an ideal state, in fact, it is impossible for Gyeonggi to expand to such a large size, the huge land of the Northern Song Dynasty, the development of the lower level, almost occupies most of it, even if the current position of Gyeonggi, all developed, it is very terrible, no matter how big, the effect is not very good.

Han Qi also thinks a little taken for granted, steam locomotives are not mass-produced things for the Dinghai Navy, and now the production speed of the Dinghai Navy is only 10 units a month, 8 units are given to the railway, only 4 locomotives, not every one of them can be used, in a short period of time, under the premise of no rubber, the production capacity cannot be enlarged, and even the Dinghai Navy is not enough, let alone the Northern Song Dynasty.

Even if it is, the output of the navy is enough, it can support exports, and it is willing to sell to the Northern Song Dynasty, and whether the Northern Song Dynasty can buy it is two different things.

Such a locomotive, because of the use of a large number of materials, the cost is also huge, even if it is a flat factory such as the navy, his cost is as high as 200,000 guan, almost equivalent to the price of more than 2,000 horses, if exported to the Northern Song Dynasty, it may be easy to reach 500,000 guan, which is already equivalent to the cost of a very long railway.

200,000 guan, for Ding Haijun, that is really not a lot of money, the value generated by the locomotive is far greater than 2,000 horses, even if it is now in the initial stage, it is much stronger, not to mention the future, there is still room for improvement.

The speed of the train does not increase indefinitely, when this speed reaches about 60 kilometers per hour, although it is not the highest speed of the entire train, it is already more than 90% of the output of the entire steam engine.

The primary steam engine is not the most perfect material, don't think about overload, even if it is full load, you need to be careful, in case of a cylinder explosion, the trouble will be big.

Reduced a certain output, swaying at eighty or ninety, to ensure that the speed is relatively uniform, and there will be no big changes, such stability also makes Han Qi breathe a sigh of relief.

If the speed of this train can increase indefinitely, it will be terrible, although he also thought it was impossible before, but over the years, the Ding Navy has done fewer terrible things, and every improvement is so terrible, several times, dozens of times, hundreds of times the increase, everywhere.

In the past, it took how long it took to mobilize a large army thousands of miles away, but now, under the premise of having enough trains and horses, an army of 10,000 people may take a day or two to reach thousands of miles away, and in the past, it was 30 days.

It has been shortened by more than ten times, which was unimaginable before seeing the train, and if this machine without horses can also achieve this, it is not necessarily impossible, now it is only doubled, and it is still within the range of acceptance.

The speed is fast, of course, the journey will be shortened, from Shanhaiguan to Shenyang, but it is less than 400 kilometers away, according to the speed of 30 kilometers per hour, it takes more than a day to walk, and you can't drive at night, I'm afraid you have to stop about 100 kilometers away from Shanhaiguan.

After using the new locomotive, it can reach 60 kilometers smoothly in one hour, stop once without about 30 kilometers, stop once in about 2 hours, and stop for a few minutes in the middle, for adding coal and water, more than 4 hours, and go about 280 kilometers.

I got on the bus at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and walked all the way without stopping, and at 8 o'clock in the evening, I arrived at Fushun, an important town in the south of Shenyang and the future steel center.

At this time, for summer, the sky has just been darkened, and for horses, there is no way to continue, and for new locomotives, it is acceptable.

At Fushun Railway Station, Zhao Xin personally came to greet him, and according to his own ideas, he was willing to go to Shanhaiguan to pick him up.

But under this premise, he did not dare to let him enter the Northern Song Dynasty, although it was said that the Northern Song Dynasty was his father's country, and Zhao Xin was the child of Renzong, which many people knew about the entire Dinghai Navy.

After actually taking the Liao State, even if the two sides did not declare war, they were actually opposed, and among the two countries, the king did not see the king, and the king saw that the king would die a king, which was a tradition.

No matter how big-hearted the high-level is, they don't dare to let Zhao Xin go to the Northern Song Dynasty, someone really has a ruthless mind and sends tens of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress, what if Zhao Xin can't come back.

This is a very likely thing, even if it is Zhao Xin, it is impossible to completely avoid this possibility, and under the reluctance, according to the time speculation, he finally chose to go to Fushun to meet him.

Zhao Xin came to Fushun with a light car, and basically did not disturb anyone, not to mention those officials in Shenyang, even Niu Dali in Fushun, did not disturb.

When the emperor left the palace, for the Northern Song Dynasty, it was a shock in the capital, not only to dispatch a large number of forbidden troops, but also to prepare many days in advance.

Because of this, even Renzong, who has control over the court, rarely leaves the palace, because one time is too troublesome and the cost is too great.

Such an emperor, Zhao Xin doesn't like to do it, even if he becomes an emperor, but all of Zhao Xin's actions are still the same as those in the Dinghai Navy before, Zhao Xin, who came from later generations, actually doesn't recognize it very much, and regards himself as the emperor of feudal society, even if he wants to be called the emperor, he will not hide in the deep palace.

In this way, many times, he will lose his understanding of the outside world and be easily deceived, and he prefers the approach of those heads of state in later generations, going deep into the grassroots, and understanding everything about this kingdom from all aspects.

Of course, Zhao Xin's own strength is also the basis for him to do so.

In this era, there is no later generation, so professional security, and strong protection from the local to the center, the government decree is only delegated to the county level, this is the time when the control is the strongest, if the control is not strong, even the capital, or even the palace city, can not get out.

Zhao Xin is absolutely irreplaceable for the Ding Navy, if he suffers an assassination, or something goes wrong, then it is unimaginable for the blow of the Ding Navy, maybe the entire Ding Navy is now in a large situation, it will be ruined, the most important thing is that Zhao Xin has no heirs, no children, and even did not form a sense of belonging to some kingdoms.

Zhao Xin is not afraid of assassination, this is true, now, Zhao Xin's physical fitness, with constant change and growth, has surpassed Sun Ji's level, at the same time, under professional training and some professional skills, Zhao Xin's combat effectiveness is very strong, conventional weapons, can not affect him, this is where Zhao Xin's confidence lies.

The Dinghai Navy does not have absolute worship of the emperor, and Zhao Xin is constantly traveling, if there is no such thing to worship, it will affect the work efficiency, so according to the regulations of the Dinghai, Zhao Xin's travel can be martial law and blockade, to the point that it is not used to worship.

The construction of the whole Shenyang vicinity, that is carried out after the Liao State was taken, Shenyang is the most important, and Fushun is the second most important, Fushun Railway Station was built a few months ago, and now, it has become a more important place for the Dinghai Navy, countless manpower and material resources, through the port of Huludao, and other places, continue to be transported here, supporting the construction of the entire Fushun industrial circle.

Because at present, most of the population is concentrated next to Shenyang, rather than distributed in the periphery, the passenger traffic is not too much, under the construction of modernization, the throughput is much larger than the Bianliang Railway Station in the Northern Song Dynasty, but the use of personnel is not much.

Zhao Xin's arrival did not alarm too many people, but only temporarily notified some Fushun parties, so that Fushun prepared some welcoming teams, for a grand welcome to Concubine Miao, the rest, there is no need, they will not stay in Fushun too much, just in the best hotel in Fushun, stay for one night, tomorrow morning, they will take this train, back to Shenyang, where is Zhao Xin for Concubine Miao and sister, prepared dormitory, definitely more convenient and comfortable than here.
