The train buzzed on the road, which really attracted a lot of people's attention.

No, it scared a lot of people.

The railroad was repaired a long time ago, and many of them were even built with the help of people in the vicinity.

Even before that, there were some horses running on it, and apart from being a little faster, I didn't think anything else.

It's just that the people in the vicinity feel that something is different today, not only is the sound much louder than before, but also a puff of black smoke can be seen rising from a distance, and many people are scared to think that it is on fire, and they have poured up from home with water basins and buckets, and some people are worried that they will not be able to control the fire.

The reason for this concern is that the train is moving so fast that the people mistakenly believe that the fire is spreading quickly.

So, someone went directly to the fire station for help.

However, when they came, they were completely dumbfounded, and some people saw the monster of the train, and they were so frightened that they were stunned on the spot and didn't know what to do.

They were able to run on a cart pulled by livestock, which was acceptable, although it was a bit of a waste.

But this is not a cart pulled by livestock, and it is also emitting thick black smoke, which is difficult to accept.

Some of the brave even thought that the livestock were hidden, but when the train passed by, they didn't find it, but they saw people on the train, and they kept filling it with coal, and then looked at them to show the row of big yellow teeth.

And then ......

Taoist priests, monks, instantly became a fragrant nest, running around various villages and constantly casting spells, making a lot of money.

And the local government is also very taboo about this, but because they didn't get the news in advance, they were uneasy in their hearts, so they could only report it level by level.

It wasn't until he got a reply from his superiors that he accepted this fact in horror and began to appease the people.

"Have the people been appeased?" Li Yuanji rubbed his temples, a little headache about this.

He ignored that the people of this era had never seen this thing, so he ignored the matter of reporting in advance, and as a result, Lao Xu called to report that he wanted to test the car, and he directly agreed, without making other preparations.

As a result, the people along the way were frightened, and even the news became more and more outrageous, and rumors such as the appearance of ghosts and gods continued one after another.

Even if the government has given an explanation, the effect is somewhat, but the behavior of the people asking Taoist priests or monks to cast spells has become more and more serious.

"Your Majesty! The results are not ideal. Fang Xuanling shook his head.

Li Yuanji was also very distressed, feudal society is like this, the ministers know how this thing is made, so they will be shocked when they see it, and they are also amazed at the cargo carrying capacity of the train.

But the people have not seen much of the world, and this is an era of constant ghosts and gods, and the train that can run by itself is naturally operated by ghosts and gods in their opinion.

Therefore, it is purely normal to feel uneasy, but this kind of normal behavior is not acceptable to Li Yuanji.

"Your Majesty, the minister has an idea, maybe it can solve this confusion." Fang Xuanling frowned bitterly, he has been trying to find a way to solve it, but he has never had a good way, but he has no way to find a way to give it a try, if he allows this kind of rumor to fly all over the sky, it is not a good thing for the imperial court.

"What's the solution?" Li Yuanji looked up and asked.

"Rumors stop at the wise, and rumors stop at the elderly! The minister felt that His Majesty could give an order to gather the elders of high moral standing in each county, invite them to visit the train, and have a brief understanding, and at the same time let them board the train and experience the train themselves, as long as these elders can accept it, the rest of the people should not have much of a problem. Fang Xuanling said.

"Yes!" Li Yuanji nodded, and also felt that this method seemed to be feasible.

Huaxia is a society of the elderly, and the contribution of the elderly to the country is almost non-existent, of course, this does not negate the meaning of their existence.

Rather, it is purely from the direct economic aspect, because when they are old, they can't do heavy work, they can't get into the land, they can't do anything, so they can't create, so they don't seem to contribute.

But in reality, this is not the case, the status of the old man in China is transcendent.

Each dynasty has rules that the old man can not worship when he sees the emperor, and he can not even be defeated when he sees the emperor, let alone those officials.

And if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, the opinions of these old people often mean the final decision in each family, so if these old people can accept it, then the rest of the people will naturally not be a problem.

But there was some hesitation, because there were no passenger carriages.

Although the plan is already in place, all the plans must wait until the train has completed all the tests.

The test of the train is not an easy task, first it requires 20 round trips on air, then 20 round trips with cargo, and then 20 round trips with passenger transport.

Naturally, this passenger transport is not a normal passenger transport, but a dispatch of troops to get on the bus, and soldiers are used to play the role of ordinary people.

Therefore, the carriage is naturally a unified flat car, and at most a guardrail is installed.

When it comes to actual operation, the carriages will be divided into three types, flatbed, box cargo, and passenger carriages.

"Try to pick some tough ones, and don't come if you can't stand the stimulation." Li Yuanji thought about it and could only command.

It's too late to make a temporary bus, and there is no production line yet, and now it's only in the initial design of the Academy of Sciences, and it can't be taken out in a short time.

As for the flatbed car, I am worried that those old people will not be able to stand the stimulation and burp directly, so that the court will not be able to explain to others.

In addition, even then, certain changes have to be made to the carriage, such as adding seats and guardrails.

"How's the train factory going?" After arranging this matter, Li Yuanji was concerned about the affairs of the train factory.

In the following time, the train must be vigorously manufactured, otherwise it will be enough to rely on a Changluo line, only twenty pairs of trains will be needed, and at the same time, the railway will also be vigorously built.

Train factories can not only build trains, but also study the equipment for laying railways, and in short, they want to change from the era of relying on human power to the era of mechanization.

It's difficult, but you have to give it a try, don't you?

Even if you can't build the kind of precision equipment that came in the future, it's always okay to have a half-mechanical and half-manual equipment, right?

Development, it always has to come step by step, and no one can eat a big fat man in one bite.

And their advantage is that they know where to go in the whole general direction, unlike in history, only when human beings realize the shortcomings of the present, they will find a way to change a certain situation, and their identity as a traverser can be regarded as helping themselves to greatly save time for these consciousness problems, and they can advance towards a goal from the beginning.

"The Academy of Sciences is studying specific equipment, and the minister also talked to Lao Xu and them before, and they feel that if each part occupies a piece of equipment, the scale will be too large, and just to build this factory, I am afraid it will take several years, so they decided to split the entire train in detail, as much as possible to integrate some similar parts into one equipment, in this way, only need one equipment, and prepare a few more sets of abrasives." Fang Xuanling reported on the situation of the train factory.

"Others can do this, but the steam engine factory must come according to the requirements, and the demand for steam engines in the future will be huge." There is no engine, no electricity, and the only thing that can provide kinetic energy is the steam engine.

So the status of the steam engine has undoubtedly been improved a lot, which is also an inevitable result.

Of course, Li Yuanji can do only that, and then electricity, internal combustion engines or something, Li Yuanji doesn't know anything about it, so he can't help at all, and he can't even explain it clearly, so there is no difference between proposing it and not bringing it up.

And in addition to this, it is the lack of talent, the development of any era, need to go through a lot of accumulation, and this accumulation, refers to talent, through the continuous test of predecessors, summarize experience, when the experience accumulates to a certain extent, can begin to break out.

Although the steam engine has been built, so far, only these people in the Academy of Sciences who participated in the project have simply understood most of the principles, and even the manufacturers have not been able to fully understand the technology and principles, let alone others.

This made Li Yuanji realize the problem, and at the same time, it also made him calm down and stop asking for more impossible things.

But those who can do it, Li Yuanji will still bring it up, and he will not give up.

"Your Majesty, these have preliminary plans, and the Ministry of Industry is also carrying out detailed planning for the train factory, and the preliminary opinion is that different branches are set up in the same factory area, each branch has its own tasks, and the difficulty lies in how to divide some parts, which requires more technical discussion. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the problem should not be big, as long as the Academy of Sciences finishes its work and the equipment can keep up, I believe it will be put into production soon. Fang Xuanling still reported as usual.

The last trip to the testing ground changed the thinking of many ministers.

They no longer think about bringing all the processes together, nor do they ask a craftsman to complete a task from start to finish.

The assembly line model was well accepted by them, and after several tests, it was confirmed that this way of working is very helpful for improving efficiency.

Therefore, this time it was not proposed by Li Yuanji, but by the Ministry of Industry itself.

They thought it would be much more efficient to set up factories to build their own tasks and then bring the parts together to assemble them.

And after Li Yuanji heard this, he deeply agreed with this, although the Ministry of Industry has not yet reported, and even this plan is only a preliminary plan, and there has been no in-depth discussion, but in this regard, Li Yuanji is still very agreeable, this model is actually the same as the production model of later generations, subdivision, final assembly.
