Hearing the shouts around him, Lin Bei felt very satisfied, this is a steam car, the first steam car in history, Lin Bei participated in the whole process, watched the whole process, he deeply knew how huge the role of the steam engine was.

According to the original history, the appearance time of the steam engine will be the seventeenth century, and now it is only 184 AD, because of the appearance of Lin Bei, the steam engine is 1,500 years earlier than the original appearance time, what is the concept of 1,500 years in advance?

Lin Bei couldn't think of it, but he believed that if he was given about a hundred years, he was confident that he would lead the craftsmen to raise the level of science and technology at this time to the beginning of the 20th century, and then at most another hundred years, he would be able to reach the level of science and technology in the future generations in 2014.

"Two hundred years, almost four hundred years AD, can reach the level of science and technology in the 21st century, mobile phones, computers, global villages, what are you going to do in the remaining 1,600 years?" Lin Bei inexplicably thought of a sentence: My goal is the sea of stars.

"At that time, I guess I will have to enter the space age, and I don't know if I can live to that era."

Lin Bei's brain was opened, in the eyes of An Zhongzhi and Bian Ji, it was a joyful expression, hearing that the common people were still cheering, Bian Ji gently touched Lin Bei, coughed, it means adults, don't be scared, you have to be inspiring.

Lin Bei took his thoughts back, he didn't know what to say, because he had already said it just now, okay, very good, he felt that this was enough to express, but everyone cheered and did not mean to stop, Lin Bei could only raise his tail and signal them to stop first.

The cheers gradually stopped, and Lin Bei said again: "Lord Ben is very satisfied now, maybe you don't realize that this steam carriage has any great effect, but as far as Lord Ben is concerned, this represents a sign." It marks that from today onwards, our goal of Wanghai City is no longer limited to South Vietnam, the Central Plains, and the surrounding hundreds of miles of sea. The goal is as big as it gets. ”

Many ordinary people naturally don't understand, but as soon as Lin Bei finished speaking, these people still cheered, long live the adults shouted loudly, and felt that what the adults said was really very lofty, and it sounded exciting.

The steam carriage is still moving forward, and this carriage can be said to be the result of the efforts of the craftsmen, and although it is made of wood, it is really very strong. The tracked wheels also improved the stability of the car by several grades, so it drove smoothly and steadily, and drove for nearly ten miles before Lin Bei signaled the craftsmen to extinguish the fire.

"How long did it take?" Lin Bei asked An Zhongzhi.

An Zhong shook his head, he didn't remember, he patronized and watched the car run away, Lin Bei looked at Bian Ji again, and Bian Ji also shook his head. How can he have the heart to calculate time,

The craftsmen's faces were excited. However, I still didn't forget my job, surrounded the car, and disassembled the car to see if the parts inside were broken.

"The boiler is fine, in good condition." The blacksmiths debriefed.

"There was some wood break on the axle of the wheel, and better wood might be needed."

"The tracks only scratched off a little. Stronger tracks were also needed. ”

"What about the steam engine? There is no problem. ”

"No, but the leather tube is a little melted and can't withstand the temperature."

Problems are thrown out by craftsmen, and then these problems are left to the corresponding craftsmen to solve, in general. The test run of the steam carriage was quite satisfactory, and after Lin Bei watched it on the side for a long time, the craftsmen didn't seem to notice the problem with the steering wheel, so they asked: "Now that the road is going straight, what should I do if I want to deviate from the direction?" Have you ever thought about this question? You can't let people pull the wheels in front, right? Is it possible to get something on the wheel so that the wheel can change direction at any time? ”

Some of the craftsmen were thoughtful, and some of them suddenly realized.

"Also, I saw a little shaky when the steam car was walking just now, can you press down the weight of the whole body, so that the bottom is heavier, and the top is lighter, do you know what I mean? The center of gravity is lower, so that it is not easy to shake, and the upper carriage is made of lighter and stronger wooden planks, which enlarges the carriage and makes it easier to carry people and goods in the future. ”

At this time, Lin Bei's advanced vision has a very important role, he doesn't understand the principle, but he knows how to maximize the role of a car, just carrying a few people is not enough, Lin Bei is ambitious, the steam engine has been built, so will the train be far away?

The train is actually no different from the car, but a power is greater, and the rails erected at the same time reduce the demand for some power, if there are no rails, the train of dozens of carriages is built, but it must not move, Lin Bei is not ready to get it out at one time, a longer wagon will do, and when the conditions are ripe, maybe Lin Bei will not need to say, the craftsmen will naturally think of that aspect.

Lin Bei's words are naturally the most important craftsmen, after listening to Lin Bei's questions, many craftsmen feel that they are really to the point, and some things that they can't figure out can also be figured out, after all, these craftsmen have been studying steam carriages for a long time, and they are making progress every day.

This night, Lin Bei did not return to the city lord's mansion, the torches were lit outside the city, and the craftsmen were all in high morale, and they revised the problems raised by Lin Bei and some minor problems that appeared after the steam car drove overnight.

In ancient times, many people did not have the problem of staying up late, they would go to bed very early, but this night, except for those who really couldn't stay up, almost all stayed outside the city.

All eyes on it, the steam carriage is indeed the attention of the people, at first it may just be because of Lin Bei's attention, but now, without Lin Bei saying it, the people of Wanghai City also understand the benefits of the steam carriage.

Compared with the traditional horse-drawn carriage, the steam carriage is quite magical, the common people talk about the steam carriage, talk about it without any livestock, talk about what road it can walk on, and even some people have thought about what would happen if the steam engine was installed on the ship, which Lin Bei has not yet said.

At six o'clock in the morning, the sky had already been polished, and the steam wagon, which had been modified again, began to light the fire again under the watchful eye of everyone, ready for a second test run.

The bottom of the modified carriage was closer to the ground, but the carriage was open and had a turnable trigger that was in contact with the wheels by a gear, and the trigger was turned as long as the trigger was turned. You can make the wheels change direction, but because the wheels are tracked, the speed of changing direction is not fast, the angle is not large, and it can only rotate about 30 degrees, and the right-angle bend can't be turned at once. But that's a big step forward.

The steam car restarted, this time with only one craftsman on board, and when the wheels turned, Lin Bei said straight to An Zhong: "Write down the time." ”

After driving for about five miles, Lin Bei glanced at An Zhongzhi: "How much time did it take?" ”

"A quarter and a half hours." An Zhong said straight away.

According to the current standard of timekeeping, the time of a quarter of an hour is fourteen and a half, almost fifteen minutes, and a quarter and a half of an hour is twenty-one minutes, if you count twenty minutes. That is, you can run fifteen miles in an hour, and you can run thirty miles in an hour.

Lin Bei was quite satisfied, because this speed was already very fast in this era, Lin Bei shouted to the craftsman in the car: "Pull the trigger, turn, and leave the road." ”

In addition to running on the smooth stone road, Lin Bei also wanted to test the running ability of the steam carriage on ordinary roads, after all, there were not so many good roads for the steam carriage to walk in this era. Steam wagons must be adapted to most of the wilderness routes.

The craftsman in the car nodded and turned the trigger. It's not too hard to turn the trigger, and it's easier for an adult man anyway.

The car slowly deviated from the stone road, which was a palm higher than the ground outside, and everyone's eyes were on the wheels.

The car began to tilt, and the back was cocked, and the craftsmen who followed it did not dare to blink their eyes.

"There are no cracks in the wheels."

"No problem. Go on. ”

It wasn't until the whole car completely drove off the stone road and saw that it was still driving normally, and the common people burst into cheers again.

The tracked wheels grip the ground firmly and then run over the small stones under the wheels. The grass and pits were all flattened, leaving the tooth marks of the wheels.

"It doesn't seem to be much slower." Bian Ji kept staring at the car and shouted at this time.

Lin Bei also nodded, indeed, the speed of the car has not really slowed down, and the speed is almost exactly the same as driving on a stone road, which is obviously a good effect brought by the tracked wheels.

"Throw some rocks and clods of dirt in front of the car." Lin Bei shouted again, seeing that the common people were a little flustered, as if they didn't understand what he meant, Lin Bei shouted again: "Throw it away." ”

The common people finally reacted, grabbed some stones and clods of earth from the ground, and threw them in front of the car, and in the worried eyes of the craftsmen, the car was slightly bumpy, but the amplitude was so small that if you did not pay attention, you could hardly see it, because the bottom weight was shifted downward, and the center of gravity was stable.

"How's the wheel? How about the gear teeth? How about the tracks? There is no breakage. ”

"It's not broken."

"The teeth are intact."

"The tracks are a little worn, but you can still run."

The craftsmen shouted and reported the situation, and Lin Bei was completely relieved.

"Okay, go on, keep driving, and see how far a furnace of charcoal can support the car."

Under the attention of everyone, the first steam car in history was quite powerful, and it kept moving forward steadily, drove for an hour and then turned in the direction of the city, and finally stopped not far from the city, driving a total distance of nearly sixty miles, and it took about two hours.

When they stopped, there was another burst of cheers that were even more enthusiastic than before, and everyone knew that the steam carriage had indeed succeeded.

Lin Bei walked to those craftsmen and encouraged each craftsman one by one.

"Well done."

"Not bad."

"Good work."

Walking to Mu's side, Lin Bei patted Mu's shoulder with his tail for the first time: "Mu, you didn't disappoint Lord Ben, I'm very satisfied." ”

Mu was so excited that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

The blind Li is also a great hero, and Lin Bei naturally does not skimp on his praise.

When the atmosphere was almost pushed to the highest point, Lin Bei announced his decision again: "The whole city celebrates tonight, to celebrate the success of the great steam carriage, and everyone who has wine will take it out, and Lord Ben and you will not return home if you are not drunk." ”

"Long live the adults, long live the steam carriage."

The era of steam led by Lin Bei has come. (To be continued......)
