Chapter 358 Hui Zhi Lanxin
Lu Ren personally stretched out his hand to pull Lu Lan into the carriage, which seemed to be a very normal thing for everyone, but it had a different meaning for Lu Lan...... Many times, the things that girls desire in their hearts are often so simple that people can't believe it, so that Lu Ren himself doesn't know how happy Lu Lan's heart is when he just pulls it easily.
But now is not the time to talk about these things, because Lu Ren has already received Shirley's telecommunication: "Master, I am ready here, you let Xiaolan start there." I've already explained to Xiaolan, and she knows what to do. ”
Lu Ren replied with a "yes" and said hello to Lu Lan. Lu Lan understood what Lu Ren meant, so she took the speaker microphone, cleared her throat, and said sweetly to everyone: "Have you all sat down?" The first run of our first steam locomotive in Yizhou is about to begin. But before the departure, Xiaolan would like to remind everyone that although everyone may not be able to believe it now, but after the locomotive really runs later, the speed will be very fast, not slower than the running horse, so there are a few things that you must pay attention to......"
To put it simply, Lu Lan is talking about some safety responsibilities in the operation of the train, and this is also a necessary thing, isn't it? Lu Ren and Shirley didn't want to have some personal safety problems because of these things, and Lu Lan acted as a flight attendant at this time.
There is no doubt that Lu Lan's persuasiveness to the people of Yizhou is high, and the people naturally responded one after another. It doesn't matter if you can't remember, there are safety and duty menus prepared by Shirley in advance on the seats of each carriage, and if you don't understand anything, just look at the menu posted on the table. Lu Ren has always attached great importance to the education work in Yizhou, although it has not yet reached a certain level, but it is no problem for everyone to read a book and recognize a word.
After some nonsense, Shirley's "Zero Machine" sounded the whistle, signaling that the locomotive was about to start. At this time, both the people who boarded the bus and the people watching under the stage over there were all holding their breath to see if this novelty that Lu Ren and Shirley had made was so powerful. Lu Ren also had the wrong nerve at this time, reached out and grabbed the speaker microphone in Lu Lan's hand, and said with a strange smile: "Everyone, pay attention!" It's time to witness the miracle! ”
After the whistle of the locomotive, it began to roar not too loudly. Then, in this roar, the "zero machine" pulled the 6+1 carriage behind it and began to move forward slowly. At this moment, all the people opened their eyes and watched in amazement as the string of vehicles pulled by cattle and horses moved like this...... To be honest, this Nima was too much beyond people's awareness at the time. And now the "zero machine" plus 6+1, how to say the total weight must be 30,000 or 40,000 catties, right? How many cows and horses do you have to drag it? But now that there is not a cow or a horse, it is moving like this, so how shocked should everyone's hearts be?
Lu Lan actually didn't understand the Tao here, she was just memorizing the lines that Shirley gave her before, so at this time, Lu Lan herself was so stunned that she forgot that she still had lines to memorize here. Seeing this, Lu Ren was helpless, so he had to snatch the speaker microphone again, and yelled with all his strength: "What's wrong with everyone? Hurray! ”
Many people came back to their senses at Lu Ren's roar, followed by earth-shattering cheers. Here I have to talk about why Lu Ren insisted on holding a festival to prepare for the appearance of steam locomotives, that is, Lu Ren knew too well how much psychological shock the appearance of these things would bring to the people at that time.
If you don't use some means to make the people's psychological state in an excited or even fanatical state and directly show this thing, then these people will not only be psychologically difficult to accept, but even have a psychological fear of the problem, then when the steam locomotive that is finally put out who Nima dares to sit, who Nima dares to use? Of course, it can be accepted by the people slowly, but how much time will be wasted for the people to accept it?
And the current situation is as Lu Ren expected, the excited people have no fear, and obviously have accepted the steam locomotive very smoothly. Then there will be no problem with the official commissioning of the steam locomotive.
Secretly relieved in his heart, Lu Ren handed the speaker microphone back to Lu Lan, and said with a smile: "Xiaolan, the rest will be left to you." ”
Lu Lan also recovered from her stunned state at this time, nodded vigorously after taking the speaker microphone, and spoke to the people again: "Have you all sat down?" Xiaolan is also going to start here. ”
The excited people on and off the train suddenly quieted down, and Lu Lan's singing voice was also transmitted through the loudspeakers installed on each carriage in the running sound of the locomotive:
"The grains of sand in the sky of Dunhuang / With our memories / I look back from the halfway / This Qin Pass is long and meandering;
The dream has passed through the Western Regions/How much Zen is contained/Love is like a travelogue/I will look for its secret words;
Look at the tears under the crescent moon bay / Forgotten above the Silk Road.
Whose heart is it/Left alone/Is he okay/How much I want to love him;
The eternal tears / Freeze that word / Maybe it may evaporate;
Whose love / is stronger than tears / Whisper / Let me melt;
Every drop of rain / Evolves into my wings /
Towards the one I love / Chase ......"
This melodious and beautiful "Moon Bud Bay" is like a sweet spring flowing through everyone's hearts, and the slightly cheerful melody is very suitable for the current scene, which makes everyone's mood extra comfortable for a while. This song was specially selected by Lu Ren, originally Lu Ren wanted to have some intense rock music, but considering that it may be a little difficult for the people to accept it at the moment, so in the end he chose this soft and cheerful song, and now it seems that the effect is not bad.
After the slowness of the start-up, the speed of the "Zero Machine" has gradually increased, and then it reached a faster speed in Lu Lan's singing, and disappeared in the eyes of the people who stayed at the station, leaving only some singing echoes in the minds of the people.
Lu Lan had already greeted the people before, saying that they would go back and forth from the new city in about an hour, and the people who stayed behind could listen to the music of the musicians on the stage here first, or they could go to other markets for two laps before coming back. But at this time, no one was willing to leave, because whether it was the shock and excitement brought to them by "Machine Zero", or the sweet singing voice and two-dimensional beauty that Lu Lan left them before, they were afraid that they might miss something after they walked away, so they would rather sit here and wait.
Lu Ren had already prepared for this matter, in addition to leaving the musicians to play some music, he also arranged for a lot of vendors to sell wine and snacks here. An hour, a bite to eat and a drink or two glasses of wine, it will pass quickly. And with this arrangement, the people who stay here are likely to be more and more lively because of the relationship between each other.
However, among many people, there are still people who seem to be very dissatisfied, at least Lu Lingqi is like this now. She was the one in charge of maintaining law and order, so of course she had to stay and not sit in the carriage with Lu Ren and the others. Seeing that the train was gone, Lu Lingqi secretly gestured her middle finger in that direction and scolded secretly: "You stinky Uncle Lu, you know that you are tired of me...... Well, I'd love to sit down and try it too. ”
Does it really take an hour to go back and forth between the small town and the new town? Looks like it's really needed. In fact, with the power of the "zero machine", the maximum speed can reach about 60 kilometers per hour, while the distance between the small city and Mangjia New Town is only about 30 kilometers. But Shirley warned Lu Ren that the steam locomotive had just been released after all, and it was better not to overdo many things.
In addition, if the locomotive speed is too fast, it is likely to cause some technical problems. Like the deceleration and braking of the locomotive after entering the high speed, this is the first thing to consider. After careful calculation, Shirley set the maximum speed on this road at 40 kilometers per hour, and only about 20 kilometers per hour is running at this speed, and the first and last five kilometers are the starting section and the deceleration section.
This kind of speed may seem a bit unsightly in modern times, but it was different in those days. Thirty kilometers is converted into the Han system, which is seventy-two Han li, and at that time, even if it was a well-trained infantry, it was normal to be able to walk so many miles in a day.
Of course, if it's a horse ride or a cart or something, it won't take so much time. But where will the ordinary people have horses to ride and cars to sit on? Moreover, a large amount of materials were often transported between the small town and the new city, and the conventional transportation at that time was carried out by oxen, horses, and vehicles, and it was possible to walk about two days for 30 kilometers, and the manpower, animal and material resources consumed on the road were also difficult to calculate.
In short, after the official operation of the steam locomotive, anyone with a little vision will understand how much the circulation between the two cities will change, at least in the locomotive carriage at this moment, Liu Ye said to Lu Ren in surprise and excitement: "General! This steam locomotive is amazing, and it's so convenient! If a few more can be put into use, the construction of Mangjia New City can be at least twice as fast! ”
Lu Ren nodded and said, "Yes, the construction of Mangjia New City has been slowed down by the transportation of materials and materials many times. Now with steam locomotives, it's much more convenient for us. ”
Liu Ye hurriedly added: "And! With the help of this and the railroad line, the forces of the various places could be assembled at a very fast pace, and the strength of the soldiers was not diminished. If there is a real fight, what a help! ”
Lu Renxin said that you are thinking about war now? However, Liu Ye is right, like in modern society, large-scale regimental mobilization is inseparable from trains...... (To be continued.) )
