Chapter 552: The Breath of Modernity
Yan Ming and Han Yan fought forward.
Soon approached this train station.
It is clear from the architectural traces that this railway station is exactly the same as the railway station of later generations. The only difference is that the design of this railway station house has a fusion of traditional architectural styles of the Han Dynasty and later generations, which looks beautiful and complements each other.
The first railway station in Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, was white, that is, the level of a small town station in later generations.
There are four railways running in parallel to the station. It is convenient for trains to transfer here.
Yan Ming looked at this train station and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's small." ”
Han Yan was stunned for a moment, but also reacted, and said with a smile: "It's really small." ”
It was Lao Xu who built the railway station, and he built it according to the drawings that Yan Ming left in New Taipei City. And that drawing was just one that Yan Ming drew back then.
At this rate of development, once the train is opened, it will be highly valued by Liu Che. By then, this railway station will definitely be small.
Yan Ming walked around outside and said, "Let's go, go in and have a look." See how Hu Deyong built it? ”
Two men entered the train station with anticipation.
Immediately a soldier came over and questioned him.
Before the soldiers could speak, a figure had already come out of it, and when they saw Yan Ming from afar, they called brother.
Yan Ming fixed his eyes and saw that it was none other than the old general Li Guang.
"Old General, why are you here?" Yan Ming hurriedly took a few steps.
Han Yan on the side also stepped forward and saluted Li Guang.
They used to be in Cloudsdale, they were each other's horns, and they were each other's comrades-in-arms in life and death. Although there is a big difference in age, it is very close to each other.
"Haha, I didn't expect it!" Li Guang stretched out his hands, one on each side, and hugged Yan Ming and Han Yan on their shoulders.
"Dude, why are you here?" Han Yan asked again.
Lao Li Guang let go of his hand, pointed to the railway station in front of him and said, "It's not your Hu Deyong, you have to build some railway." Isn't this a calf, laying good steel on the ground? What a waste. Build some flintlock pistols, military crossbows, how nice. ”
Yan Ming and Han Yan laughed when they heard this.
"Old general, if you want to blame for this, I'm afraid you can only blame me." Yan Ming said: "I put forward this idea. When it's time to finish, you'll see. ”
Li Guang looked at Yan Ming, the expression on his face relaxed, and said, "Is it your kid's ghost idea?" Then the old man was relieved. I thought it was Hu Deyong's stuff. ”
"By the way, how are the people over there in Fuso? Is there any archery that is great? Li Guang asked with some gossip.
Yan Ming laughed.
Lao Li Guang saw Yan Ming's smile, his face was full of shame, and he smiled: "The old man has been hobby all his life, and he has always been very confident in his own strength. If it weren't for that, the Emperor wouldn't have sent me to guard this station. ”
Yan Ming smiled and said solemnly: "On Fusang's side, there are almost no people who can be compared to the old general. ”
"Really?" Li Guang said in surprise.
"Of course, it's uncivilized over there. All the armies are no more than a little stronger than the rabble. Vulnerable! Han Yan said.
Li Guang nodded, and the three of them walked inside.
Inside, there are all the facilities.
Yan Ming didn't care about the structure of the room, but came directly to the outside of the train station and jumped off the platform.
A long track stretched out north before his eyes.
Sleepers, rails, huge screws!
When Yan Ming saw the sturdy roadbed and the familiar tracks, tears instantly collapsed.
He stroked the track on the ground, his hands trembling slightly.
This thing is almost exactly the same as the train track of later generations.
Seeing Yan Ming's gaffe, Han Yan and Li Guang were stunned.
Yan Ming has always been happy in front of them, when have I seen him cry like this.
"Brother?" Li Guang's big hand slapped Yan Ming's shoulder and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Yan Ming raised his head, wiped his tears with his hand, and said, "It's nothing, I cried with joy." ”
Li Guang finally paid attention to it and said: "It seems that this railway is indeed extraordinary. What can make you cry with joy is definitely not ordinary. ”
Han Yan felt that something was not like that, but he couldn't tell what it was.
"Give me a hammer." Yan Ming shouted to the soldiers standing on the land base.
Immediately a soldier came with a hammer.
Yan Ming carried a hammer, walked on the railway, and knocked on it.
In this way, knocking and beating, it took a long way.
Li Guang and Han Yan followed behind, watching Yan Ming walk on the railway like a magic barrier, not knowing what was wrong with him.
After walking for ten miles, there was no problem with the entire railway, and Yan Ming was relieved.
"Let's go, go back." Yan Ming said with a hammer.
"Okay, go back, let's go back." Han Yan saw that Yan Ming's mood was a little unstable today, and nodded in agreement.
"Old general, can there be an iron-smelting plant in Chang'an now?" Yan Ming suddenly asked.
Li Guang was slightly stunned and said: "Yes, the original Southwest Iron Smelting Village has now become an iron smelting plant. You should be familiar with the person in charge, old Fan. ”
Yan Ming remembered that Southwest Metallurgical Iron Village turned out to be the director of Lao Fan.
hugged Li Guang and bowed his hand, and after saying goodbye, he walked directly towards Chang'an City.
Railway, Yan Ming is still not at ease. He needed to check the whole railway.
To inspect the entire railway, it is inseparable from the human-powered rail car, that is, the hand-rolled car. This type of car is not mechanically powered, but is driven by four wheels, levers, crankshafts, cams and gears. With only four people operating, it can move at a speed of twenty kilometers per hour.
The reason why Yan Ming thought of the nearby steel mill was to build this kind of human-powered rail car.
Once it's built, they can follow the railroad and go straight back to New Taipei City.
Although the speed is not too fast, it is just enough for him to completely inspect the entire railway.
However, Liu Che's permission is still needed for this matter.
It's not necessarily the same here as New Taipei City.
New Taipei City, in a sense, is completely different from the inland area of Dahan. It's all Yan Ming's own decision.
Those people from the Buyeo people, what ethnic minorities, they only know Yan Ming, and as for the imperial order of the Han Dynasty, the people there don't care so much.
Therefore, in New Taipei City, Yan Ming wants to do whatever he wants, just do it.
But in Chang'an, it's not so comfortable.
Anything must be reported to Liu Che.
This is also the reason why Han Yan is often unwilling to stay in Chang'an.
In New Taipei City, they are the kings.
And in Chang'an, they want to pretend to be grandchildren.
There's no way around it.
