Since he promised Li Yuan to let him travel thousands of miles by train within five years, Yang Heng also established the train development team.

Now the blacksmiths in the mountains, as well as the blacksmith apprentices, have enough for Yang Heng to use, so Yang Heng first mobilized two blacksmith masters, and four apprentices came out, one blacksmith master is named Zhang Lin, and the other is named Wang Feng, these people are all slaves, naturally there is no word, and the same blacksmith apprentices don't even have names, or even surnames, this is Yang Heng selected from some orphans, and now they are only twelve or thirteen years old.

For the sake of simplicity, Yang Heng just gave them a code name first, that is, A, B, C, D, and waited for them to officially name them when they were sixteen years old, naturally this is also because they are apprentices, Yang Heng's condition for motivating them is that if they become apprentices before the age of sixteen, let them have the surname Yang, otherwise they will choose their surnames by lot.

"Zhang Lin." "Here," "You're good at forging, aren't you?" "Yes, owner, I can forge all kinds of parts." "Alright, you lead your two apprentices, A and B, who are responsible for making the parts on the drawings I draw." "Yes, I'll be able to make the parts that the owner needs." Yang Heng casually threw him a stack of drawings, this is not a steam engine drawing, but some drawings of waterwheel-powered lathes and other parts, Yang Heng's goal is to make some machine tools first, and then officially turn the drawings into real objects. It is necessary to know that some precision parts, without these machine tools, it is impossible to develop successfully. Naturally, these machines are also replaced immediately from generation to generation. That is, to make precise parts from non-precision. Slowly, it will become more sophisticated. And the current requirement is to achieve a moderate level that can be achieved by hand, who let Yang Heng brag about it.

"Wang Feng," "To," "Your forte is the pouring of cast steel, right?" "Yes, my forte is cast steel." "Okay, this is the drawing, and besides, you have to go to my uncle to study the wooden mold and sand mold together. Then the sand is turned to make the things on this drawing. ”

"Boss, I have a question." "Boss, we don't have a blast furnace here?" "Well, you don't have to care, I'll let people build blast furnaces, as well as facilities like open-hearth furnaces, you just take your two apprentices to make sand molds and wood molds first, and it won't delay your business." "Yes."

At the same time that Yang Heng arranged for two blacksmiths, his uncle and they also rushed back from the construction site of the road with their most elite engineering team. At this time, the engineering team on the construction site was replaced by the second team of Yangjia Engineering Construction, that is, a newly trained team. Although they have just come out, it is still possible to build an ordinary concrete road.

If you want to talk about the uncles, it was the construction site where they volunteered to build the road, and they couldn't stay idle at home, so Yang Heng had something to arrange for the uncles.

"Second uncle, you are responsible for all the construction of the new plant, you see this place, is a piece of land specially granted to me by the emperor, there are more than 100 acres of land here, and the most important thing for us is this river, I just designed this drawing in general, and the specific things need to be improved by yourself, the carpentry work is good to find the uncle, uncle, all the carpentry matters of this project, you have to lead the apprentices to do it, pay attention, there must be a priority, don't delay things." "Don't worry, nephew Xuewen." The two uncles said in unison.

"Third uncle, you are responsible for building a stone road, how many people do you want to find a housekeeper, pay attention to the personnel must be recruited, if it is not enough, let the housekeeper go to the city to buy, this is the road map, and there are requirements for this stone road, pay attention, third uncle, this road is not for walking, I am going to build a railway on it."

This is the road map of a railway applied by Yang Heng and Li Er, at this time he doesn't have any technical personnel such as geological exploration, so what to do, just casually ran a horse on a route that he was optimistic about, and he knew the softness and hardness of the road, and where else did he need to blow up the mountain, and this road was from the west wall of Chang'an City, he did not let the railway into the city, if the city really needed a railway, it was also a royal line, coming out of the imperial city, and then passing through the city wall to open the door, and merging into the main railway line, However, this was only within Yang Heng's imagination, and it was not on the agenda.

Yang Heng's plan was to set up a small station on the side of each gate in the west city wall, and set up a large Chang'an station at the city gate in the middle, that is, next to the Jinguang Gate.

"Fifth uncle, you have two tasks, one task is to be responsible for contacting the steel factory of the building materials factory, so that they can open a furnace to make rails, and I also draw the requirements of the rails on the map, and the second task is to be responsible for arranging the sleeper branch of our new factory, sawing and firing the sleepers, and also contacting some large households to purchase some trees to make sleepers, which are also required on the drawings."

Yang Heng arranged this work, only to find out that there are really a lot of people, even if it is money, it is also a lot, fortunately there are two boxes of gold and silver given by Li Yuan, otherwise Yang Heng would not have such a big move, that is, he can make a carriage, or even make a car head, then I don't know about the year of the monkey.

But now it's good, it's been fully started, although there is no skimming of the train thing, but these are the foundation, is indispensable, and the only thing that can be related to the train, that is, the work of turning the sand, is to be able to pour the wheels out first, and the most important thing is to set up a waterwheel on the river first, and so on after the steam engine comes out, the waterwheel will be less powered, besides, the power of the waterwheel is really small, some large pieces are processed very slowly, some people may say, Isn't there electricity, remember, this electricity is also driven by a water wheel, how much power can it have, it is better to use a water wheel to drive it directly.

"Big brother, big brother, what are we doing?" Naturally, when the children are at home, the baby's participation is indispensable, no, she heard that Yang Heng was arranging work, and she ran directly after school.

"You guys are responsible for helping out in the kitchen, but you are not allowed to carry kitchen knives, and you are not allowed to make trouble in the kitchen, otherwise you will not be allowed to participate." "Well, it's good, I'll go and inform them right away."

"Come here." As he spoke, Yang Heng called a guard in charge of the children's safety over, "You, responsible for the safety of the children, no one can command you to do anything, no matter what the children do, you can ensure their safety," it is a good thing for the children to ask for the officer, but their safety needs to be paid attention to, Yang Heng doesn't care about a few more people who are responsible for the safety of these children, no matter how short of manpower, there is no shortage of so few, isn't it.

"Xiao Langjun, Your Majesty has come down, should you go out to meet you?" A telegraph operator came over to inform Yang Heng, saying that he had received a telegram that Li Er had left the palace, or even out of the city, obviously to see how Yang Heng was prepared.

"Your Majesty, you are." Yang Heng found that Li Er just came out with a team of guards and a light car. "Well, listen to your bragging, I'll take a look, what are you going to do, it's been half a month now, but I heard that you haven't started construction yet?"

"Your Majesty, it's about to start, I've already drawn some drawings in front of me, and all the next actions will be launched, and you will come and see it in half a year, and some prototypes will be there, and now you can't see anything, and Your Majesty, I think it's better for you to turn around and go back immediately, the minister won't invite you in, if you come again, you still have to bring a large team of people." Yang Heng is very worried about Li Er's safety, you have to know that Li Er is safe, Yang Heng will be safe, Yang Heng doesn't like troubled times, if Li Zhi grows up, it's okay to say, now Li Zhi is still young, naturally Yang Heng doesn't want Li Er to have an accident.

"Well, don't let down the expectations of the Emperor." What is the expectation of the emperor, it is not to live up to the two boxes of gold and silver of the emperor. Yang Heng thought secretly in his heart. (To be continued......)
