A million gold coupons to make such a thing?

Li Zhen asked again: "What about the completely complete front of the car?" What is the valuation? ”

Jia Liping said solemnly: "That's two million." There is also a carriage that costs a lot of money, and the cost price of the carriage for passengers is about 800,000. ”

Li Zhen was shocked: "A carriage costs 800,000? The carriage is not the front of the locomotive. ”

"The front of the car just has a high-power steam engine and a transmission power system than the cabin. What is valuable is these high-specification, high-precision, high-strength material wheels, and those parts. It's not expensive. If it were the wagons that pulled the goods, it would be about four or five hundred thousand. ”

Li Zhen gasped: "Then according to this, a complete train needs at least twenty carriages." The cost of a train is tens of millions? ”

"Almost."

"Tsk, the price is a little bit shocking to me."

“……”

As the two were talking, the workers over there had already used a crane to unload the locomotive, pave the way with wooden planks, and push the locomotive onto the tracks.

There were many onlookers around, all of whom were amazed. I've never seen such a silly locomotive. How many tons of coal a day such a big guy has to eat, that's an astronomical amount.

There are also those who discuss:

"It's a bit of a bad deal, is it? Just a section of the front of the car, building a road specifically for it? The front of this car is so big, how many people can it hold? ”

"yes. I can't read it, I can't understand it. Can it run faster, faster than an airplane? Even if it's faster than an airplane, it's not worth it. It's big and big, it's not big and it's not big. ”

"Not economical."

"This big guy isn't a car at all."

"Not really. It's just a steam engine with six wheels. It can't be called a car at all, it can only be called a steam engine. ”

"Hehe, inside the car, buying a car is like giving away an engine. It's like selling an engine and giving it six wheels. ”

"I don't understand what this thing is for."

“……”

Everyone pointed their fingers, thinking that such a thing must be expensive, but it is not economically cost-effective. There is also a road specially built for this car.

But no one thought that it was just one front car, and there were twenty more cars hanging behind it.

Also, the concept of trains is only known at the top now, where can ordinary people imagine it? No one will realize that although it is a little more expensive, the effect is worth the price.

Of course, everything has to be based on the success of the train's experimentation.

Motivation is the biggest problem.

If the front of this locomotive can only carry the number of carriages of less than 10 cars, it is basically a scrap.

It must be able to carry about 20 carriages in order to really play out. But twenty carriages, how much weight and resistance, Li Zhen and others were very skeptical, such a section of the front of the car can pull such a heavy thing.

The technicians of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences were busy and began to direct the crowd to water the sand and gravel and completely fill the tracks.

This pouring does not require it to dry, it can be run on the spot, as long as it is tamped.

With the cooperation of the crane and the labor below, the locomotive was finally moved onto the rails.

'Bang', the sound of gold and iron.

The six wheels at the front of the locomotive are tightly integrated with the rails, and the errors are negligible. Its craftsmanship is extremely strict, not as precise as the aviation process, but it is also very rare.

As soon as the front of the locomotive hit the tracks, someone immediately stopped a large number of strong men from pushing the front of the locomotive forward.

As the front of the car slides forward, a technician always bends down to follow, constantly checking the degree of closure of the wheels and the rails, as well as the lubrication effect.

Pushing forward a distance of more than ten meters, a group of strong men were almost paralyzed on the ground from exhaustion.

The people in the distance kept shaking their heads:

"There's a for this."

"So heavy?"

"In case you run out of fuel halfway through, or if the engine goes out. You can't even push it. ”

"We drove out and turned off the fire halfway through, and one person could still push it up and hold the fire burning. 10,000 people in this car will be exhausted. The fire went out halfway, and it couldn't be burned, right? ”

"You're funny, aren't you? It's a steam car, not a gasoline car. Also turn off the fire and rest an egg. Your ignorance is beyond my imagination. ”

"I'm thinking, can this thing be pulled by a cow?"

"It should be pulled by horses, right?"

“……”

Regarding the people's discussions, the people of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences are just full of black lines. But no one explained anything, just took care of the data and recorded the data.

In front of the locomotive, there were already people riding small bucket cars, pulling horses along the tracks.

The kind of small bucket car is to check whether the rails are bent and smooth.

The front of the car is mainly to detect the comprehensive conditions, as well as the load-bearing conditions.

After checking that it was correct, Li Zhen ordered: "Let them start." Go and drive ahead and try to see. ”

"Yes, Master Li."

“……”

Moments later, professional technicians boarded the front of the train.

On the front of the car comes the factory instruction manual. The operator follows the operation process step by step.

After a while, two more strong men boarded up, and by the way, carried a few bags of cinders. Then someone came and went to the boiler to add water.

After the ignition, the cinders are added to it. The flames slowly burned.

Half an hour later, the people were impatient.

"This car is too weak."

"It takes so long to get started with a hot car."

"This is a steam car, unlike a car, it must be burned first."

"In the first generation of steam cars, it only took five or six minutes to warm up. How long does it take for this big car? ”

"A large steam car like the one just now only takes a maximum of ten minutes to heat up. This big guy is a little scary, it's been forty minutes, and it feels like the boiler water hasn't been heated yet. By the way, how much water does this have to add? ”

"Well, no, no, no."

“……”

'Woo-'

A pull of the airlock. The locomotive suddenly let out a whistling sound. It was the familiar voice.

Billowing white smoke billowed into the air. However, the locomotive has not yet moved, and the operator must wait until the train is fully powerful before trying, and the first test must be perfected.

After another ten minutes, everyone was a little impatient.

Only then did the operator poke his head out and look at Li Zhen.

Li Zhen said: "Let's go." ”

After speaking, Li Zhen boarded a car, and a group of data officers from the Kyushu Academy of Sciences also got into the car.

The train operator hurriedly pulled the brakes.

'Boom-Boom-Boom'

The sound of the train sounded, the crank link continued to expand, the wheels moved, and the locomotive began to slowly move forward.

On the surface on both sides of the train, more than a dozen cars followed closely, constantly observing.
