"Uncle, how many trains have arrived on the shore?" Yang Heng finally rested, and he knew the matter almost well, he was going to the dock to cut the ribbon of the ship, or even let a train transport it to the other side.

"Xuewen, there is no train arriving at the station now, we expect a train to arrive tomorrow morning, and to transport it across the other side, the advertisement has been sent out, I think, should we have a rehearsal in advance now, don't fail by then."

"No, I believe in the rigor of these technicians, then we will do it directly tomorrow."

…………

"Owner, don't look at this ship is a little ugly, but its load capacity is not light, if you load passenger cars, you can load three, if you load a fully loaded freight train, you can load one, in fact, this is not the main loading capacity of this ship, this loading capacity is loading the train, and the floating and sinking error when not loading is the smallest, does not affect the train on and off the ship."

The next day, the train has not yet arrived, Yang Heng in the uncle, and the ship's chief designer accompanied by the inspection of more than a dozen ships parked on the shore, and when the time comes, these dozen ships will be one and the other, will be together, and all linked together, why use so many ships, this is mainly because the wooden boat is used now, some of the technology on and off the ship is not up to standard, so it must be directly connected with the train track on the shore, and can not be connected with the active rail, that's it.

And the ship, really ugly, a raised ship, there is no cabin, there is a protruding piece on both sides, this should be the water tank. It can be guessed that the water loaded in this water tank must be several times more than that of the fully loaded train, otherwise, it will not be said that after the train goes up, the difference between the float and sink will be very small, and there is a bulge, which is close to the rails, this should be the power cabin, and it will be where the steam engine is located, when Yang Hengzheng guessed this place. And I saw it. Smoke has already begun to rise on it, it is, they began to burn the boiler, and wait. It's about getting the boat started. Start linking. Then the train came on board.

And on the other side of the station dock, a group of people is already waiting, this group of people. They are all villagers from nearby villages, some of these villagers are ready to come to cross the river for free, and some people are here to experience taking a boat on the train, naturally, that is, for publicity, the railway on the other side has not been built how long it is, that is, the ferry train, there will not be many people to take it, but after the railway is repaired for hundreds of miles, there will be more people in this car.

"Woo......" The whistle of the train sounded in the distance, and then the sound of deflation was heard, and the train had slowed down into the station, and at the same time, the host of ceremonies also shouted: "The auspicious time has arrived." So firecrackers were set off at the bow and stern of each ship, and when the sound of firecrackers stopped, "woo, woo, woo......" more than a dozen ships sounded their whistles one after another, and slowly these ships drove out of the dock in order, and these ships will be linked together from now on, and will not be separated in the future except for maintenance. The first ship first came to the dock side of the railway station, there were two flag-raising commanders on the shore, the red flag was forward, the green flag was backward, the double flag was raised to stop, when the two commanders raised the double flag, there was a crew member who quickly fixed the ship with a kind of latch, yes, it was a bolt, not a cable, because, at this time, the most accurate docking is required, if there is a little misalignment, the train may derail.

The same action, one by one, until all the eleven ships were positioned, and a maid quickly pulled up a red silk, tied with some red flowers tied to it, and stopped in front of the train, and Li Zhi got off the train, as well as the third uncle, the fifth uncle, they were all people who came to cut the ribbon.

"Brother-in-law, your ship is not small, and it can still get on the train, it's really amazing." At this time, Li Zhi was like a curious baby, jumping off the train and observing everywhere, revealing curiosity.

"Okay, Lord Wang, this, I have time for you to watch it, now let's cut the ribbon first, okay." As they spoke, the maids brought gold scissors from the tray, and at the same time, firecrackers were set off on the locomotive, and even a red flower was hung on the ship.

"Okay, this king wishes my father a smooth sailing on this trip, so that the train can reach the other side smoothly." As he spoke, Li Zhi and Yang Heng's two uncles, four people plus the chief designer, a total of five people, picked up the gold scissors together, and cut the red silk at the same time, which was considered a successful ribbon cutting.

Again, the firecrackers sounded again, and at this time, the people who cut the ribbon, and even some shipbuilding technicians were standing on both sides of the railway, watching the train start slowly and start to drive towards the ship, very smoothly, the train drove to the ship, ",......" With a deflating sound, the train stopped, and then someone quickly raised an obstacle under the wheels of the front and rear of the locomotive, and then the docking of the ship with the shore was quickly withdrawn.

The two conductors raised the red flag at the same time, and at this time, there were two more flag-bearers on the ship, they were commanding the ship, one was in the bow and the other was in the stern, and they raised the green flag at the same time to point forward, "woo......" With a whistle, the boat slowly sailed away.

This flag is varied, and there is absolutely no mistake, especially to prevent the flag from being mistaken, when the ship raises the train obstacle, this obstacle actually can't stop the train from starting, but he links this organ, that is, when the obstacle is raised, the train will not start, that's it, this is the most important guarantee.

"Woo ,......" not long after, the ship has been translated to the opposite shore, on the opposite shore there are also people in command, the boat slowly moved its position, until the alignment, in this way, the boat stopped, and the train is started again slowly into the station on the opposite bank, if it is normal operation, the train will stop on the opposite bank for a while, let the people on the train, and then continue its journey.

At this time, they will naturally not continue to travel far, but there are also people who want to get off, they are people who cross the river, and those who do not get off need to take the train to continue to come back, which is also their river travel.

When the train passes, the boat is hung on the opposite bank with a cable and the latch is removed, and the boat needs to wait for the train to meet or the boat to come back to pick up the train.

However, at this time, they first hung up the cable, let go of the latch, and let the boat move a little with the current, and then, a whistle sounded, so the personnel began to plan to act again, that is, to fix the ship with the latch, and the train was retreated, but at this time the train retreated, the front of the locomotive was not in front, the front of the locomotive was in the tail.

"Uncle, it's very successful here, tell those workers, let's work overtime for the Chinese New Year this year, and when these things are really dealt with, I will let them take a leave for a while, and I want to go back to report to Your Majesty, so you can take care of it here for the next few days, Lord Wang, let's get in the car and go back."

After the train came back, Yang Heng explained to the uncle, he got on the train with Li Zhi and the fifth uncle, and returned to Chang'an, while the uncle needed to be in charge of the shipyard here, and the third uncle needed to care about the things on the other side, and now, they needed to open up a new stone mine on the other side.

And the third uncle has more than such a little thing, he has a lot of things, the mine has been selected a long time ago, but some heavy equipment has not been transported, before on the other side of the bank were transported by horse-drawn carriages, some of the work was done manually, they only built a gravel road to the mine, and even the rails have not been paved, and now that it is open to traffic, the first thing is to lay the rails, and then transport some heavy equipment over, and the mine will officially start.

And what does Yang Heng want to report to Li Er, that is, as some key projects of this railway have been completed, the next thing is the selection of the railway line, from then on, Yang Heng will not participate in the selection of the line, that is, how Li Er arranges, how they do it, and then some strategic uses, it is not something that Yang Heng can participate in.
