Zhang Jie led the training, and Jiang Hexing led the construction.
The railway road from Xianwu to Zhangwu was about to be opened to traffic, and Jianghexing was surrounded by Wang Ke, Sun Xian, Zheng San and others and came to the west of Xianwu City. The railroad started about 2 miles west of the city, and now the two rows were full of people, and everyone stuck their heads out to look at the few iron rods laid on the ground.
At this time, the early summer sun is basking the earth, the green grass on both sides of the railroad tracks is covered with the ground, wild flowers of various colors are poking their heads out, and bees and butterflies can be seen flying by from time to time. In the green grass, there was a crowd of people watching. At the back of the crowd, children were josling, chasing butterflies and frolicking through the crowd.
Jiang Hexing came to the scene and said to Wang Kesun Xian: "You have been preparing for a long time, let's start now." ā
There are two large boxy rocks buried at the beginning of the tracks, and it seems that there is no time to think about stopping. An extra-long six-wheeled carriage carriage was lifted by a group of strong men, and all the green tendons burst out, and they gritted their teeth and carried the carriage towards the tracks. Jiang He laughed angrily, but the surrounding crowd did not laugh, and all eyes stared at those men, as if admiring those warriors.
After the carriage was placed on the rails, a few people tried to push it first, and when they saw that the cart was gently pushed, everyone was amazed. Two lassoed red horses were led, and there was an iron ring in front of the carriage, and a horse-drawn rope was tied to the iron ring. There was a bald man, wielding a long whip in his hand, standing in the carriage, holding several ropes in his left hand, as if controlling the direction of the horse, and holding a long whip in his right hand. He turned his head to look at Sun Xian, who waved his hand and said, "Let's go." ā
The strong man saw everyone's eyes staring at him together, raised his head, and straightened his chest, although he saw Sun Xian's gesture, he was not in a hurry to set off. He glanced at the people in the next circle, pointing at the people on either side of the track and shouting, "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way!" The officers and soldiers who maintained order next to them immediately ran over and drove the people standing on both sides outside.
The bald man saw that the crowd had been driven away, pulled the rope with his left hand, raised the horsewhip with his right hand, and raised his hand, the horsewhip "snapped" and exploded. Perhaps with too much force, or perhaps frightened, the two horses sprang forward and galloped forward. It's just that the bald head, pulling the rope in his left hand and holding the whip in his right hand, ran forward violently, seemingly defenseless, and stumbled backwards, the whip in his right hand could not be controlled, and he waved it a few times.
The onlookers watched the bald head almost fall and burst into laughter. Jiang Hexing also felt funny, and looked at Sun Xian and Wang Ke, the two of them had gloomy faces, as if there was a layer of frost on their faces, obviously making people feel the cold air of winter in summer. Jiang Hexing stopped looking at them, turned his head, and looked straight at the bald head. Luckily, he didn't fall down after all, and immediately took control of the situation, pressing his left hand on the wooden railing in front of the carriage, and continuing to raise the whip with his right hand, looking ahead. The railroad car ran so fast that the crowd seemed to forget the embarrassment just now, and ran after the car, and at first they could only follow it, but then they could only watch the railroad car rush away.
Jiang Hexing watched the rail car go farther and farther, remembered something and asked, "Why did this car stop running so fast?" ā
Sun Xian didn't react, and was a little stunned for a while.
Jiang Hexing then asked, "If this rail car is running fast, how can you stop him?" The problem of empty cars is not big now, and if you pull a cart of coal in the future, if you can't control it, it is estimated that there will be a lot of trouble at that time. ā
As he spoke, a wave began to rise in the crowd and began to surge forward. Jiang Hexing, Sun Xian and Wang Ke didn't know what was going on, and walked forward along the crowd.
After running for a few miles at once, beads of sweat broke out on each forehead, only to see that the car on the railroad track had run to the grass and turned over on the grass. From the railroad tracks to the overturned place, the two wide ruts crushed the grass into the ground.
When they came to the car, the bald groom had been pulled out from under the car, with a mouthful of mud in his mouth, and a few sticks of grass on his head with mud on his head. Seeing the funny appearance of the groom, everyone laughed again, Jiang Hexing was also a little impatient, he suppressed his emotions, and whispered to Sun Xian beside him: "Go to the doctor to check first, and see if there is any problem with the person." We'll go back and talk about the rest. ā
Sun Xian took the injured groom to see the doctor, and Jiang Hexing took Wang Ke and the others back to the research institute. There was a group of people in the grass around the carriage where the accident occurred, pointing and looking up and down, doing a civilian version of the incident investigation.
Back at the research institute, Jiang Hexing looked at Wang Ke's gloomy face and smiled: "What is this?" No matter how much research can be successful, it is already difficult for you to get to this point. ā
"We were so good during the experiment, why did something happen today? I kind of can't figure it out. Wang Ke replied with his head down.
Jiang Hexing didn't pay attention to what Wang Ke thought, found a pen and paper in the research institute, drew the appearance of the pulley, and asked him to find a few tests to see if he could not lift the car without so many strong men.
Wang Ke saw the pulley and said, "Isn't this different from the wheels of the railroad car?" I have a lot more here. ā
Wang Ke took out some wheels and found some ropes to start experimenting, the effect was of course good, and it saved a lot of effort. Wang Ke was no longer bothered, and tried the pulley there repeatedly.
At this time, Sun Xian also came with the horseman. Jiang Hexing comforted him with kind words, and gave Namafu a lot of rewards, and everyone was in a much better mood. Jiang Hexing said that the railroad track had been built, and it would be pulled by oxen first, and then horse-drawn carts when conditions were ripe. Sun Xian reluctantly accepted this compromise condition.
Jiang Hexing finished dealing with the railroad car and had lunch with everyone at the research institute before returning to the office.
