Chapter 534: Lu Ping's System
Chapter 534 Lu Pingzhi and Lu Ping talked about their family routines for a while, and briefly talked about Lu Zhishen's performance, and Lu Ping was even more grateful for his happiness while being relieved. Putting down the teacup in his hand, the smile on his happy face narrowed slightly, and he looked at Lu Zhishen with some seriousness and said, "Mr. Lu, I don't know how the experiment has progressed recently?" ”
Listening to the happy talk of business, Lu Ping was also busy retracting his mind, sat up straight, and said seriously: "Back to the little prince, forgive the little old man for being stupid, some of the experiments you ordered have been completed, but some of them don't have much clue yet." ”
"Mr. Lu doesn't have to blame himself first, let's take a look?" He waved his hand happily and stood up with a gentle smile.
"Yes, little prince, please come with me." Lu Ping responded and made a gesture of invitation to Xingxing.
Under the guidance of Lu Ping, Happy walked along the secluded path, turning all the way towards the place where Lu Ping worked.
The outermost part of the base is the base of the dragon group, and further inside is the living area of the craftsmen, and the innermost part is the experimental site, which is also the most extensive part. The experimental area is divided into separate courtyards, which are both enclosed and secluded. Rupin's workspace is located in the deepest part of the castle and is also the largest courtyard.
"Sudden ......"
As soon as he pushed open the sheltered door, a loud noise suddenly came from inside the courtyard. Listening to the shock, some familiar but unfamiliar voices that were almost forgotten, Happy suddenly paused, and a touch of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"This is ......" looked at Lu Ping happily and suspiciously, and after seeing the latter's affirmative gaze, his happy breathing couldn't help but become a little short, although it was only a short moment, but it could also be seen that he was excited.
Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door in a determined step, and saw from a distance that there was a black behemoth in the middle of the courtyard, and below it was a straight track, which stretched hundreds of meters away, and the smoke was belching overhead, giving people a strong shock, and the "sudden" oppressive, beast-like roar came from this.
Although this behemoth looked very bulky and crudely made, Happy still recognized at a glance that it was the locomotive head, a locomotive propelled by a steam engine.
"Little Wangye, according to your guidance, Xiao Lao'er gathered 200 craftsmen, and it took a full eighteen months to cast this train, and I asked Xiao Wangye to inspect it!" Lu Ping was one step behind Happy and pointed to the locomotive and said to Happy Happy, although his voice was calm, the joy and pride in his eyes still couldn't be concealed.
Looking at the black smoke curling from the top of the locomotive, his happy eyes couldn't help but be a little confused. It has been four years since he came to this world, and he has been familiar with this era of "traffic is completely by walking, and communication is completely by roaring", and now, the familiar and unfamiliar train and locomotive suddenly appeared in front of him, and the memories of his previous life came flooding back, and his happy thoughts couldn't help but be in a trance.
"Little prince, do you want to try it on that train?" Lu Ping's voice interrupted Happy Thoughts, he glanced at him happily, nodded and said, "It's okay, look at the fruits of your labor, go!" ”
Saying that, Happy Bento went to the locomotive first, Lu Ping hurriedly followed, and at the same time shouted: "Chun'er, come out quickly, I've seen the little prince!" ”
"Hey, here you are, Master!"
Hearing Lu Ping's voice, a thin black shadow came out of the train, but it was a thin young man, eleven or twelve years old, wearing a coarse cloth black clothes, and his face was covered with soot, black and black, but a pair of eyes were as bright as stars, and his bones kept turning, and he was an elf and clever person at first glance.
"This is the prince of the Sui Dynasty, the prince of Beiping County, the general of the Che Cavalry, and the little prince, why don't you come over quickly to see the ceremony, I really don't know the number of etiquette!" Lu Ping saw that the young man was rolling his eyes and looking up and down with pleasure, and suddenly straightened his face, and his tone was very stern, faintly reproachful.
"Ahh The young lady snorted lightly, hurriedly jumped off the locomotive, and took three steps and two steps to come to Xing, deftly like a monkey. The young man bowed to the ground and said respectfully and fearfully: "Li Chun, a grass citizen, knocked on the little prince, and asked the little prince to forgive me for the neglect!" ”
"Li Chun?" Hearing this name, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his right hand, which originally wanted to signal the young man to get up, couldn't help but freeze in the air. Li Chun's name is not strange, it has survived for more than 1,400 years, and the famous Zhaozhou Bridge (Anji Bridge) was built by him, and Li Chun has also been famous for thousands of years.
"No courtesy, flat!" Happy was stunned and regained his composure, and stretched out his hand slightly to signal Li Chun to get up. Not to mention whether this Li Chun is Li Chun or not, and now he is no longer a newcomer, and he is not much shocked to see historical celebrities.
"Thank you, little prince!" Li Chun bowed respectfully, then stood up, his dark little face full of smiles, and his smart eyes full of curiosity and awe.
"Little Lord wants to try the train, you go and prepare!" Lu Ping commanded solemnly, and then explained happily: "Little prince, this child is a bad man, he was an orphan, and the little old man saw that he was pitiful and well-behaved, so he took him with him. ”
"The little guy is nice and smart!" Happy to watch Li Chun flexibly drill into the locomotive, smiled kindly. Although Li Chun was still unknown at this time, his smart eyes and extraordinary courage showed that his talent was extraordinary.
Lu Ping chuckled, obviously relieved because he was happy to praise Li Chun, and after a pause, Lu Ping said respectfully: "Little prince, please get in the car!" ”
"Good!" I was happy to respond, and I was slightly excited when I was in a calm mood. The last time I rode a train was four years ago, but it feels like a thousand years since I was happy.
Climbing on the train, there was a sudden hot Lang accompanied by the pungent smell of soot, but it came from the roaring stove on the locomotive, and the thin Li Chun was taking a small shovel to add coal to the stove.
"Master, everything is ready to go!" Li Chun put down the shovel and said heavily. As he spoke, he wiped the beads of sweat from his face with his hands, but he wiped his smiling face even more, but his big eyes became brighter and brighter. can personally show the fruits of labor for the little prince, how can he not be excited.
"Good!" Lu Ping nodded heavily, then came to the console, took a deep breath, and then solemnly and slowly pulled the control handle. It is not allowed that Lu Ping is not dignified, if there is a mistake in the face of happiness, not to mention that more than a year of hard work has been wasted, it is even more negative to the trust of happiness.
"Bump Bump!"
In the rapid and loud roar, the locomotive slowly vibrated and became more and more violent, as if a sleeping beast was about to wake up, and at last, the locomotive moved, slowly, but persistently and firmly along the track.
Looking at the scenery gliding on both sides, a satisfied and joyful smile appeared on his happy face. Lu Ping was able to cast this thing successfully, and he lived up to his trust and invested huge financial and material resources for his use.
"Mr. Lu, in your opinion, how long will it take for the train to be put into service?" Getting off the train, Happy Rubbing against the hard and cold rails on the ground, asked with some hope.
Lu Ping frowned, thought for a moment, and then replied with some hesitation: "Little prince, although the train has been successfully cast, if you really want to put it into use, the conditions are not yet ripe. Not to mention that the train needs to lay tracks, but also to set up stations along the way to add coal and water, and the train is slow, so the cost of using it to transport goods is not low. ”
Hearing this, the happy heart suddenly became a lot colder, what Lu Ping said is true, it is precisely because of many reasons, there are decades between the invention of trains and the real use of trains in history.
"But the little prince doesn't have to be anxious, with your guidance, there are many places where this train can enter, according to the current progress, it is expected that it will be put into use in two more years."
"Oh? So good, it's all with Mr. Laurou. Happy stood up and looked at Lu Pingdao sincerely. Two years is not a short time, nor is it a long time, after all, Rome was not built in a day.
"Little prince, rest assured, little old man will do his best." Lu Ping solemnly assured, paused, and said: "Little prince, the gun you said has also been successfully cast, but the accuracy and range are not up to your requirements, especially the bullet is very difficult to manufacture, not only slow, but also very dangerous, more than a dozen craftsmen have been injured by gunpowder. ”
Xing Xing frowned, and said a little heavily: "It doesn't matter if it's slow, safety is the most important thing." Every craftsman here is precious, and not a single one can be lost. When experimenting, you must be careful and careful, and everything is human-oriented. ”
"Yes, little prince." Lu Ping looked happy with emotion. In the eyes of outsiders, they are the most lowly, but happiness gives them rare respect and love.
"Let's go, take me to see the rest of your work." nodded with a happy smile.
Next, under the leadership of Lu Ping, he happily tested the experimental results of more than a year in the base.
I am happy to bring a lot of theoretical knowledge to this world, which saves countless time for Luping people to explore and explore, only need to experiment, verify, and then manufacture finished products and put them into use. It is not uncommon for Luping to cast the train, even if there are two experimental generators, but it will take time to put them into use.
Compared with trains and generators, it is the guns that Xing is most concerned about, and if these can be manufactured in batches, it is not a delusion to sweep the world in a year. However, due to the limited precision technology and technology, the powerful guns are still in the experimental stage, and the power of the guns that can be put into use is really unsatisfactory, and they have not yet reached the point of turning things around in the war.
When I left the base, it was three days later in the evening, and it was already slightly dark. For three days, the craftsmen in the base were almost sleepless, discussing all kinds of knowledge in depth. Although many things have not been studied in depth, he has good knowledge and the direction he gives is of great significance to Lu Ping's research.
When he came, he was happy with a breeze on his sleeves, but when he went, he had an extra pistol in his hand. The shape of the pistol is similar to that of the Mauser military pistol (box gun, barge gun), the body of the gun is very wide, and it seems to be a little rough and ugly in the joy of seeing the close firearms of later generations, but this is Lu Ping's hard work for a year, pure hand-polished. The magazine is loaded with 20 shells, with an effective range of 50 to 80 meters, and can shoot continuously.
Because it was made by Lu Ping, he was happy to name it Lu Ping, for which Lu Ping was so excited that he burst into tears and was full of energy.
