Chapter 30: The Fanged Train
Soon, under Lin Yang's order, more than 6,000 people entered the carriage in turn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAnyway, one carriage can hold 100 people, even if it is more than 6,000 people, in fact, it is only more than 60 carriages.
Immediately afterwards, a series of living animals such as chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, dogs, tigers, wolves, etc., were also caught on the train in a burst of noise.
And then there's the pure cargo. Rice, cloth, weapons, and even sugar and vinegar can be found here in the bazaar.
Then, there were 10,000 Yin God monks, 1,000 Yang God monks, and 1,000 soldiers. By the time they all got on the train, the two hundred carriages were almost full.
Then, under the leadership of Ou Yezi, Lin Yang and the officials of Wu State, as well as Zhang Lu and his uncle, all headed towards the front carriage together. accompanied by those sons of Jingzhou.
"This steam engine was finalized after I studied it for a long time. As for what a steam engine is, you can think of it as a power-powered device. Ou Yezi carefully inspected the steam engine in front of him, and said without raising his head.
Behind him, there were Lin Yang and the others. However, at this time, in order to better display, the partition between the locomotive and the first carriage was removed.
Anyway, after today, this secret can no longer be hidden, so it is better to show it generously and win benefits.
"In addition, the power of this thing can be described as extremely powerful, even if it pulls a full two hundred carriages, it can move quickly. Two pounds of standard fuel are burned every hour. As for the so-called standard fuel, this is my own research. ā
As he spoke, Ou Yezi opened a lid, and at the same time, lifted another box and began to refuel. Everyone looked over curiously and found that the so-called standard fuel was actually a light blue transparent liquid.
"These fuels, which are very complex to take, work very well. The price is also very expensive, every kilogram of standard fuel contains a gram of spirit stone powder, in short, it is a very precious thing. Now, I'm going to start starting this steam engine. Everyone, keep your eyes open and take a good look. ā
As he spoke, Ou Yezi fiddled with the steam engine for a while, turned on a few more switches, and with a click, the formation inside the steam engine was directly activated, and the standard fuel also began to burn.
Immediately, there was a low buzzing sound from inside, followed by the sound of instruments colliding, clanging, very harsh.
However, at this time, everyone on the side did not feel harsh at all, but felt very pleasant. For example, Lin Yang and Zhang Lu.
"It's moving, it's moving, it's slow, it's moving!"
"yes, there are no large spell fluctuations, not even spell fluctuations at all. Except at the beginning, when the steam engine was started, there was not the slightest mana fluctuation at all! ā
"It's very smooth, there are no bumps, and the average person rides in a carriage, in fact, this is the level. I just don't know how fast it is, how it lasts, but it's not easy to just pull two hundred carriages and move them together! Pang Tong thought to himself.
At the same time, I also began to compare with the spells I had learned.
"If you simply use spells to make these two hundred carriages move at the same time, the spirit stones consumed are not a matter of one, two, two, two. Moreover, the caster also needs to be at least a fourth-order human immortal cultivator, and if you rely on a monk alone, it will not be possible to popularize it at all! ā
"Even if the speed of a moment is only 30 miles per hour (that is, 7.5 kilometers per hour), it is much faster and safer than the speed at which ordinary merchants can carry goods. In other words, as long as the speed can reach 30 miles per hour, it is worth the investment. ā
Thundered!
As time goes by, it's about a minute. The sound inside the steam engine has changed from a buzzing sound like a bee at the beginning, to a loud noise now.
It can only be said that in today's era, train drivers must have cultivation, because this job is not something ordinary people can do!
At the same time, the train itself was moving slowly. With the burning of fuel, the speed of the train is getting faster and faster. In a few moments, a speed of twenty kilometers per hour was reached.
"Yes, that's a pretty good speed. It can run eighty miles every hour, and the average good horse is to this extent, not to mention the merchants who carry goods. Ma Liang's eyes lit up.
"Yes, every time my family transports goods, I can only organize horse teams and private soldiers on the land route, and then transport them slowly. Sometimes, the road is not easy to walk. It wasn't as fast as it is now. ā
"If Wu Guogong allows us to build this thing this time, I will persuade my father to build a railway from Jiangxia to Lujiang County. When the time comes, the road fee will be collected every day, and the money will be charged every time it is transported, won't it be passed down from generation to generation? Huang Zu said with a little excitement.
For the family, what can be passed down from generation to generation is the most important thing. Even, in many cases, things that can be passed down from generation to generation, even if they lose money, must be managed well.
Listening to everyone's discussions, Ou Yezi was also very proud. While thinking about it, I continued to operate.
It's a slap at the steam engine, slap, slap! Then, the speed was raised another notch, to the level of forty kilometers per hour.
"This, this is already a Maxima, right? Moreover, you don't need to feed forage or beans, you just need to add a little so-called standard fuel, which is really convenient. ā
"In this way, as long as the steam engine itself and standard fuel are not too expensive, they must be bought!"
"Have you ever wondered what it means if it's used to transport troops? In one day and one night, you can drive thousands of miles away. This means that if there is another rebellion in the dynasty, even if it is far away, relying on the train, it can be reached in just one month! Suddenly, Pang Tong reminded.
Starting from Luoyang, it is no problem to travel thousands of miles in one day and night. From Luoyang to Youzhou, it is only more than 30,000 miles. To Liangzhou, it's almost this distance.
Within a month, the soldiers can be transferred over, which basically eliminates the possibility of a successful rebellion!
In other words, the likelihood of a successful rebellion is greatly reduced. This alone, as long as it is not outrageously expensive, the imperial court will grit its teeth and build several Daxing railways!
Thinking of this, many families fell silent. I don't know what they're thinking. Perhaps, someone's newly raised ambition has been extinguished in this way.
