In the cheers of the crowd, Li Chengqian led people out of the traffic jam, Li You followed him with a stomach full of doubts, and he was glared back several times when he wanted to speak, and finally he could only hide the doubts in his stomach silently, pretending to be nothing.

At this moment, a disturbance just now finally attracted the attention of the staff of the Research Agency, and Tang Shanzhi, who had been notified by his subordinates, left the assembly point of the locomotive with people and rushed outside.

"Tang Shanzhi, you bastard, look at what you have done, why is the construction site so messy, why is the road blocked and no one is dredged, why are those who are in charge of transportation even have no one to manage!" After meeting, Li Chengqian lost his temper directly without waiting for Xiao Tang to speak, and splitting his head and covering his face was a violent training.

"I, I ......" Tang Shanzhi stammered and didn't know how to explain.

After all, he is just a literati, and after a few days of mechanical research, he can generally understand some terms, and the biggest thing is to help with the handle. Such a large-scale mobilization has indeed never been experienced by Tang Shanzhi, and it is inevitable that such an omission will occur.

Li Chengqian could also guess the reason, so he only reprimanded Xiao Tang, and after a solemn warning, he changed the topic: "How about it, is the rail qualified this time?" ”

"Hmm. This time the steel is fully qualified and can withstand the weight of the vehicle! Tang Shanzhi nodded, and led Li Chengqian and the others to the assembly plant behind.

Along the way, he attracted the attention of countless craftsmen, Li Chengqian smiled and nodded one by one, and some people who could recognize him would say a few words.

Fortunately, it is close to the core of the vehicle organization here, and most people have seen Li Chengqian, plus he is followed by Tang Shanzhi, and there is no onlooker incident outside.

"The car is loaded onto the rails?" Dealing with the greetings and salutes for four miles, Li Chengqian took the time to ask.

"It's been installed, but the transmission part is still not solved, didn't you say you have to hurry up, so I don't see that so many people are needed now, so I arranged all the manpower to be responsible for repairing the road." After Tang Shanzhi was reprimanded, he restrained a lot, and his behavior was not as casual as before, and his answers were very formal.

"You have to hurry up and get the transmission part done, but you must pay attention to it, you must not leave potential safety hazards, and don't break the shaft and something like that within a few hours of the car being on the road." Considering what he had just encountered on the road, Li Chengqian reminded.

"Yes! We actually had a few plans, but in the end they were all shelved because of the safety of the operation, otherwise our trains would have been able to move now. There was a scorching light in Tang Shanzhi's eyes, and he didn't seem to have any doubts about the operation of the train.

As a participant in the matter, Don Jr.'s train is full of confidence, and has the opposite attitude to those old guys.

In any case, this train was built by him from scratch, if Datang has the most confidence in the train except Li Chengqian, it is really Xiao Tang.

"It's here, Your Highness." After chatting a little more about the assembly of the front of the car, a behemoth appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and Xiao Tang was looking at it with a proud face, as if he was looking at his own child.

"This, so big?!" Before Li Chengqian could speak, Li You, who was following him, had opened his mouth wide in surprise, as if an egg had suddenly been stuffed into his mouth.

"yes, how can it be so big? Are you sure there are no problems here? Li Chengqian was also surprised by the huge front of the first train in Datang, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

The huge black front of the car looks like a small mountain, its size is two or three as big as the front of the later generations, and it looks very strange, not the appearance of the later generations, if Li Chengqian describes it, he can only say that there is some steampunk flavor in it.

This is completely out of Li Chengqian's cognition, and it gives him a feeling that things are a little out of control.

"Your Highness, this is already what it looks like after shrunken." Gong Yilun, who had been guarding the parking lot, happened to have just walked to the side of Li Chengqian and the others, and after hearing his question, he said: "Actually, most of them are transmission mechanisms, and some of them are pipelines. ”

"Your Highness, our current steel can't meet normal needs at all, so we only try to make it bigger and thicker......" The professional's answer was really much clearer than Tang Shanzhi's, although Li You was still confused, but Li Chengqian already knew the reason.

In fact, to put it bluntly, there is only one reason why the front of the car is so big: the quality is not enough, and the quantity is made up.

Can't the cylinder withstand too much pressure? Easy, just thicken the cylinder wall; Will the drive crankshaft always break? It's easy, just make it bold; Leaking pipes? It's simple, just put another layer on the outside.

In this way, one after another, add a little here, add a little there, and slowly change a good steam engine to be nondescript.

Li Chengqian didn't have any good way to deal with this situation, he only studied chemistry, not materials, and he knew all kinds of steel materials in later generations, and he didn't know anything about the specific formula.

And what the specific structure of the locomotive should look like, he also did not know, except that he knew that the steam engine was the main component of the locomotive, and the general appearance of the locomotive, the rest was completely seven tricks and six tricks - no clue.

So in the face of Gong Yilun's eager eyes, Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly: "I can give you money, you go out to find someone and collect special steel from all over the country." ”

Tang Shanzhi, as the person in charge of the Research Agency, after hearing Li Chengqian's suggestion, his old face turned red, and he said with a stiff neck: "What? Gao Ming, you're not wrong, right? Also solicited from all over the country? The craftsmen in our research department are almost the top in Datang, who else will have a way out there? ”

This is related to the reputation of the Research Agency, and the excited Xiao Tang forgot that he had just been scolded by Li Chengqian, and he also forgot that he was facing the prince of the Tang Dynasty, not his brother.

"Shout what!" Of course, Li Chengqian could understand his feelings, glared at him and said, "You are a top craftsman, but the top craftsman can make the best materials before he is determined." A large part of the material is found by chance, and it is not necessarily feasible if you have experience. ”

"That, that can't be ......" Tang Shanzhi felt very aggrieved, and tried every possible way to stop Li Chengqian.

"There's nothing you can't do, it's a big deal that someone comes up with good materials and I allow you to recruit people into the Research Agency, this will be fine, and in the end, the thing will be made by your Research Agency!"
