"That thing, a distance of more than ten meters can be built at a time, and then spliced, and a distance of four or five miles can be laid in one day......"

On the construction site, an official from the Ministry of Engineering pointed to the equipment that was hoisting the rails.

The equipment is modified, ugly, not beautified, and has no symbol of automation other than its own power.

The entire system, with the exception of a locomotive and several carriages loaded with integrated rails......

Anyway, an ugly-looking iron guy.

In front of and behind it, including its body, gathered workers who were busy to the point of explosion.

The busiest of all was the blacksmith, a man pushing a car with a huge stove, and when he got close to it, he could feel the unpleasant and even breathing of the surrounding temperature.

Whenever a section of rail is laid and docked, and after the correction is completed, the blacksmith needs to quickly drill in to check the joint, and then fix the abrasive, take out the molten steel, and pour it directly down the abrasive.

After that, it is polished, and as for whether the direct connection of the molten iron can ensure its solidity, this is indeed a big problem at the beginning.

There were even traces of cracks in the rails after the train passed.

However, this is all a problem found during the experiment, and now this problem has been solved, the solution?

It is very simple, make a concave and convex opening of the two sections of rails that need to be spliced, and the size of the two can match, and at the part where the concave and convex mouth touches, reserve a hole so that it can be connected from above to see the roadbed below.

Then a piece of hard steel is stuffed into it, about one-third the size of the opening, and the abrasive fixes the bottom, seals it, and then pours molten steel from above to make it integrate.

This is only the first step, the second step is to water the gap at the joint to connect with molten steel.

But this strength is still far from enough to support the huge weight of the train for a long time.

So there is a third step, the intersection of the two rails, will be sprinkled with some iron powder and aluminum powder, after the first two steps are completed, it will be sealed with a special furnace at the junction, and then burned with coke, and continue to burn after it is red, about an hour later, the furnace will be removed, and then it will be forged again and again with an iron hammer to ensure that it is parallel.

In later generations, such splicing is bound to be unqualified, but in this era, such splicing technology is the most advanced, the concave and convex places can make it more closely connected together, the hole is added to the steel rod, the molten steel is added, this is the second support point, three steps of chess, the Changluo railway has been opened for nearly two years, and there is no section of rail directly pressed open.

On the road of building railways, Datang is going farther and farther and more experienced.

Therefore, when introduced, the official of the Ministry of Industry was also very proud on his face, these were not made by the Academy of Sciences, but they were the first to put forward ideas, and the most primitive methods were used to carry out experiments, and then the Academy of Sciences borrowed from their ideas, and used more powerful technology and equipment to create this equipment.

Although it still requires manpower to push, with the winch device, the manpower required for laying is now running out, and the speed is also very fast.

More manpower was used for the construction of the roadbed.

During the whole process, Li Chengguang watched very seriously, listened carefully, asked seriously, watched carefully, and thought seriously.

That advanced equipment really broke Li Chengguang's ideological cognition.

Because he is really advanced, through the rotation of the roulette wheel, the huge boom can move back and forth, lifting the track more than ten meters long, exceeding the height of the train itself, and then moving forward step by step, every few meters, someone will be extended out of the support point fixed, sealed, and then the boom and the extended support point docking, continue to rely on the rotation of the roulette, little by little forward, until the laying position.

It's very advanced, but Li Chengguang always feels that it is still a little imperfect.

Of course, this is just his own feeling, how can scientific research be so easy?

'......Boom'

The sound of steel colliding with steel, the sound of steel colliding with stones on the ground, the painful wails of workers......

With a loud bang, the busy construction site fell silent in an instant, followed by an even more panicked scene.

Accident!

interrupted Li Chengguang's thinking, looking at the scene of the accident that was close at hand, what happened to the workers, Li Chengguang's face turned pale in an instant, after all, he was just an eight-year-old child, where had he ever seen such a scene?

The faces of the officials of the Ministry of Industry were also not good-looking, pale as a dead man's face, and there was no blood to be seen at all.

This is the first time such an accident has happened, and it has never happened before, and the railroad track fell off the hook and smashed directly on the more than ten workers who were preparing.

As for the results......

If you don't hit the vital point, you will basically be paralyzed in bed for the rest of your life, and there are few people who can stand up.

And those who were smashed to the waist or upper body, even the sound of moaning at this moment is getting smaller and smaller.

"Quick...... Hurry up and save people......" The Ministry of Industry officials seemed to react, and hurriedly shouted at the surrounding workers who were also in panic to come and save people.

The workers faintly woke up from the shouts of the Ministry of Workers, and they all hurriedly stepped forward to help.

But the problem is that at this moment, their minds are already confused, and everyone has no intention of doing this at all, and they are even more frightened and can't do it.

Therefore, after a group of people surrounded them, the role they played was not as good as two-thirds of the previous one, and they did not even lift the railroad tracks.

Now the rails are two connected together, and there are heavy sleepers underneath, and they can't be lifted at all if there are fewer people.

And the most dangerous thing is that one part is lifted, but the other part is not lifted, and the part that is lifted eventually falls down, so that the back and forth will naturally cause secondary injury to the workers under the tracks.

Looking at this scene, the faces of the officials of the Ministry of Industry were also full of anxiety, and when they saw that there were hundreds of unmoved guards beside Li Chengguang, they instantly ran to Li Chengguang and pleaded bitterly: "Your Highness, the workers are now confused, and there will be big problems if they continue like this, so I implore Your Highness to deploy soldiers to help save people......

Li Chengguang looked at Ma Wu and nodded, in fact, Li Chengguang's heart was also in turmoil, and he didn't wake up at all, let alone at a loss.

If it was an ordinary army, when it encountered such a situation, it would have gone up to help save people a long time ago.

But the forbidden army is different, their duties are different, and they have a more important task than saving people, so whether the sky falls or the ground sinks, they will not move.

Even now that Li Chengguang spoke, Ma Wu hesitated slightly, but seeing that those workers were really difficult to lift the heavy rails, he stretched out his hand and ordered to the guards: "Go to a team to help!" ”

"Fifth uncle, let them all go, it's important to get people out as soon as possible." Li Chengguang seems to feel that something is not enough.

There are 500 guards with him this time, but there are only about 100 people who really belong to the forbidden army, and the rest are the elites sent by the garrison stationed in Luozhou, and at this time they are responsible for the periphery of the guard, and these people can't reach Li Chengguang.

Although he went to a team of 50 people, Li Chengguang, who was eager to save people, still felt that it was not enough.

"Your Highness, it's not that the ministers don't save them when they see death, but the ministers have the duty of the ministers, if something happens to Your Majesty because the ministers go to save people, what if you rescue those more than ten people? Hundreds of ministers and others can only apologize with death, and the more than 400 garrison soldiers outside will also be implicated. Ma Wu did not hesitate to refuse Li Chengguang's request.

It's not a question of identity, it's a question of identity.

Because Li Chengguang can't make any mistakes, otherwise even Ma Wu himself won't be able to save his life.

It's not easy to be a guard, and it's even more difficult to be a royal guard.

A group of soldiers quickly put down their equipment, put it next to their comrades, and then rushed up, cooperating with the workers, and together lifted the more than ten meters long railroad track, and someone immediately pulled the person out from below.

Seeing this, Li Chengguang did not continue to ask Ma Wu to send people up, which proved to be enough.

It's just that the workers who were pulled out from under the railroad tracks were already in a blur of flesh and blood.

Some are still crying out in pain, while others are pale and have long lost any life.

The prince inspected the scene, and such an accident occurred, which was a very bad recruitment for Li Chengguang himself, and even, because of this incident, it may make Li Chengguang's prestige among the people drop suddenly.

Although Li Chengguang does not have any prestige now, if he becomes the crown prince, the opposition of the people will be very strong.

Because this incident, in the eyes of the people, is extremely ominous.

If something like this happens, it's even more dangerous.

But this incident is indeed an accident, but it is an accident that the people will believe that this is a bad omen.

Ma Wu carefully recalled the scene just now in his mind, along with the every move of the workers before.

Professionalism told him that after everything happened, he had to do a detailed review.

After a short period of effort, Ma Wu realized that this matter did not seem to be as simple as it seemed.

Safety in production, this sentence is not just a slogan, not just in the Academy of Sciences, there is this sentence everywhere, and they are doing requirements in accordance with this sentence.

The construction site was no exception, and after the hook was hung up, the person in charge of hanging it also made a special inspection, and in addition, the rails paused when they were lifted and about half a meter away from the carriage to allow the workers to carry out a final inspection.

In this case, unless the cable or hook is broken, this problem will never occur.

So in other words, after several inspections, I didn't see a problem with the hook, is this situation possible? Of course not, this may be intentional.

There are also those workers and people who are coming from afar, but Ma Wu thinks that something is not right, subconsciously, Ma Wu saw a flaw, his face changed instantly, and he directly pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist, protected Li Chengguang behind him and shouted: "Prepare for war!" ”
