Chapter 555: A Future I Don't Dare to Foresee
The experience of the rail car made Liu Che unforgettable.
This kind of thing simply subverted his habit of thinking.
Liu Che never dreamed that a car that could be moved by manpower alone could have such a speed, so the train that Yan Ming said would send to Chang'an and Penglai at dusk. What kind of speed is that?
Thinking of this, Liu Che felt that many things seemed to be in a dream.
At this time, Yan Ming, who gave Liu Che a dream, had not yet set off from Chang'an.
When he and Liu Che were riding the rickshaw together, he discovered a serious incident.
It's that this rail car is missing an important thing, the cover.
There is no outside cover, and once it rains on a cloudy day, it will be transformed into a soup chicken.
As soon as the wind blows, you have to eat dirt.
Although Yan Ming is not too shy, he definitely doesn't want to let himself sleep in the open.
He still had the shell of the car built.
This increases the weight of the car, but it is indispensable.
Because this rail car is not active around the station, it is not purely for maintenance.
It has to cross the vast mountains and vast grasslands between Chang'an and New Taipei City.
Such a distance, without adding something, is simply unorthodox.
Even, Yan Ming also applied for a flintlock pistol and an eagle crossbow from the arsenal.
The Condor crossbow was placed on the railcar.
With a simple modification, the rail car turned out to be a small armed vehicle.
When everything was ready, Yan Ming and Han Yan got on the rail car together.
got into the car with them, as well as several military masters carefully selected by Han Yan in the army.
There are a total of eight people, and these eight masters in the army are not only good at fighting in battle formations, but also have strong physical strength.
For this long journey, all you need is someone with good physical strength.
These eight people work in groups of four and are mainly responsible for driving.
Yan Ming brought some wrenches and other things with him.
He was there to inspect the entire railway.
After all, this is the first railway in Dahan.
Just as Yan Ming was about to leave, the sound of a mountain shouting long live came from the platform of the train station.
Yan Ming and Han Yan immediately walked out of the car, stood outside the carport, and saw Liu Che who came to see them off.
"Your Majesty, the two ministers, this is leaving." Yan Ming said, and the two of them knelt directly on the rail car and kowtowed to Liu Che.
Liu Che looked at the modified rail car and said loudly: "The two Aiqing are flat. I really want to go with you, but it's just a mundane thing. ”
As he spoke, Liu Che's frustrated expression was beyond words.
It can be seen that he really wants to take this rail car, and he and Yan Ming cross most of the north.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to take this kind of humble car, wait for the minister to come back by train to pick you up." Yan Ming said loudly.
"I'm waiting for you." Liu Che said.
Yan Ming arched his hand, turned around and ordered the four sergeants who had been prepared long ago to start the vehicle.
With the continuous pressing of the four people, the rail car slowly left the station.
Yan Ming and Han Yan stood at the back of the car, and said goodbye to Liu Che on the platform.
Liu Che kept waving his hands from afar.
It wasn't until the train station gradually became farther away and the figures on the platform turned into small black dots that Yan Ming and Han Yan opened the door and returned to the car.
The four of them were not tired of driving, and they were shaking the levers very hard.
For the first time, the scenery outside had a feeling of going backwards.
Yan Ming looked at the regressive scenery, and the corners of his eyes became rosy again.
"Dead monkey, what do you remember?" Han Yan asked.
"Nope." Yan Ming flatly denied it.
Han Yan smiled and said, "Ever since you first saw this train track, I felt that something was wrong with you. ”
Yan Ming smiled: "Illusion, everyone will have illusions." ”
Han Yan didn't ask again.
He is a smart person, and he also knows Yan Ming's personality, as long as he doesn't want to say it, there is no way to pry his mouth open.
Han Yan was silent.
Along the way, the eight masters in the army were watching Yan Ming ask to stop from time to time, and go down with a wrench to knock and beat.
This kind of situation was strange at first, but later as Yan Ming's number of times increased, it gradually became strange.
The sound of ding dong is extremely crisp and pleasant in the wilderness.
Although Han Yan didn't understand what Yan Ming was doing, she always followed behind Yan Ming and walked together.
In addition to the four soldiers who controlled the car, the remaining four people also followed behind the two, ready to protect them at any time.
That's it, all the way, all the way, all the way.
Yan Ming was shocked to find that this railway did not directly reach New Taipei City.
It passed through a station in the middle.
This station, as everyone should be able to guess, is Cloudsdale.
The railway station in Cloudsdale is naturally guarded by soldiers.
Seeing Yan Ming and their strange rail car coming from the tracks, the soldiers guarding immediately blew the horn.
At this time, guarding the station in Cloudsdale was a lieutenant general.
The name of this lieutenant general is Liang Kun.
When he heard the soldier's report, he immediately walked out.
Seeing the fast-approaching rail car on the track is like seeing a monster.
"The ...... ahead Stop it. Liang Kun didn't know what to call this oncoming monster-like car.
Yan Ming also found the situation on the other side in the car.
He immediately ordered the railcar to slow down.
There is a banner of the Great Han on the rail car. When Liang Kun saw the flag, he knew that this rail car belonged to the Han.
I saw Yan Ming's figure slowly coming down from the rail car near the platform.
Liang Kun immediately walked up a few steps and said, clasped his fists and said: "I don't know that Yan Hou is coming, the last general has never been far away, please forgive Hou Ye." ”
Yan Ming was stunned, not knowing how the young general in front of him knew him.
Liang Kun saw Yan Ming's appearance, and immediately said obediently: "Master Hou, when you resisted the Xiongnu in Cloud City, I was behind you and fought side by side with you. ”
Yan Ming remembered in a trance that there was indeed a little sergeant beside him at that time, and it seemed to be the appearance of Liang Kun in front of him.
But time has passed, and he doesn't remember it very clearly.
After everyone greeted each other, Yan Ming handed his customs clearance documents to Liang Kun.
According to the official handover ceremony, after all the procedures were completed, Yan Ming made a request.
The most important thing is the diet.
Although there are still flatbreads and pickles brought from Chang'an, there are not many.
When Liang Kun heard this, he immediately went to prepare.
At the same time, Yan Ming was invited to take a rest in the city.
Yan Ming asked the guards in the city, who was not familiar to him, so he didn't plan to enter the city.
Liang Kun quickly prepared the food and drink.
Yan Ming's human-powered rail car set off again with a full load.
Liang Kun took people to the train station and watched Yan Ming and their departure with the same envious eyes as Liu Che.
"When will we be able to ride such a car?" A small soldier sighed from the side.
"Save it, this kind of thing, you and I don't want to take it in our lives. This is only for the emperor to ride. Liang Kun said.
Several of the soldiers laughed and said too.
None of them believed that they would one day be able to ride a rail car or even a train.
However, in the near future, they will be among the first to ride the train.
