"Ruined so soon?" the empress blinked and asked Lin Zifan.

"Your Majesty!"

Lin Zifan smiled bitterly: "Your strength is too strong, this locomotive can't withstand your high temperature, if you slow down a little, this kind of thing won't happen!"

"I see!"

The empress 'suddenly realized' and said, "However, I don't seem to use any strength to ......"

God didn't use any strength, Lin Zifan was happy.

As far as your strength is concerned, even if it's just a force, it's very against the sky, right? A first-generation locomotive, you still use a little bit of strength...... It's strange to be able to resist!

He smiled helplessly: "Although it has been temporarily disintegrated, Your Majesty and several adults should have experienced it, what do you think of this thing?!"

"I'm okay with that!"

The empress said directly: "When I see it today, the speed and capacity are better than what you said, but it's not too strong, if it's stronger, it's better." ”

Lin Zifan: "('?w?′)"

Well, you dare to say that it is not strong......

This locomotive is made of stainless steel, such a big steel monster, I don't know how durable it is~

Of course, in the hands of the empress, it is no different from a toy, who makes the empress the first in the world and a transcendent master?

Ordinary people, how can they be compared with the empress?

Lin Zifan would also know this, so he didn't get entangled, and then looked at Prime Minister Cao Cheng and other ministers, as well as civil and military officials......

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is your impression of the train?"

"I'll talk about it first...... the national teacher hugged his arms and said in a deep voice: "The speed is indeed very fast, more than several times faster than the wildebeest, if it is strong enough, it is indeed useful." ”

"It's useful. General Huo nodded in agreement: "Judging from the way it is, in this train, it can fit about ten people, and if there are some more people hanging outside the car, and some on the roof of the car, it should be able to hold dozens of people......

God has some more people hanging outside the car, do you want to follow the old path of the people who drove the hanging, or what?

"The performance brings dozens of people at a time, and the speed is so fast, the effect is not small, and it is not bad. ”

"Functionally, it's good, but ...... But it is not without its drawbacks. ”

Prime Minister Cao Cheng frowned: "Now, with the radio station, we don't need to send letters at all, so the role of the train is unlimited." ”

"As for combat, even if you can send dozens of people at one time, it won't be of much use. ”

"Other than that, the cost!"

Prime Minister Cao Cheng directly said to the point, which is also the main reason why Lin Zifan made such a big move and attracted the empress and civil and military officials!

What he wants is naturally to spread the railway to all important areas of Datang, and even build it abroad!

Because only in this way can Datang's economy develop rapidly, and the railway itself can make some money.

But the problem is that the cost is too high!

Prime Minister Cao Cheng said: "The little girl Cao Ying is also studying in the school, so she knows a little bit about this train." ”

"This locomotive, plus the railroad tracks you have seen, consumes a total of tens of thousands of catties of steel!"

"Guys, that's tens of thousands of pounds of steel!

"How many rails are there? How much steel do you need to lay over long distances?"

"Just to transport dozens of people at a decent speed? This price is too big and too big to outweigh the loss!"

As soon as this remark came out, many ministers were shocked.

"How much? tens of thousands of catties?"

"Oh my God, how much is this? It's just 10,000 catties? It's too terrifying, isn't it?"

"Even if our Datang is no longer so short of iron now, we can't squander it like this, right?"

"This thing seems to be somewhat useful and novel, but it is too wasteful to feed it with so much steel, and it is not desirable or desirable......"

When they heard that they wanted so much iron, almost everyone shook their heads.

Isn't that great, even if there's enough steel, you can't squander it like that?

When the empress heard this, she instantly frowned, a little unhappy......

How can I speak? My man, my prince, can still make such an accumulation?

She said coldly: "Lin Zifan, come on!"

Seeing the empress's expression, the civil and military officials all showed a wry smile......

Needless to say, Your Majesty, the guardian maniac, will definitely be going to make trouble again.

They were helpless, but they could only look at Lin Zifan, wanting to see what he could say.

However, even if the empress spoke, they had already made up their minds.

That is, unless Lin Zifan's reasons are really sufficient and can convince them, otherwise, even if they have the empress as a guarantee, they will never agree!

"Lin Shangshu, let's talk about the ugly things first. ”

"If you don't have a good enough reason, we can't say yes. "'Godsister', Li Shangshu of the household department said directly, and the ugly words are in front.

"No problem. ”

Lin Zifan smiled and said that it was not a big problem.

"Indeed, as you can see, the steel consumed here is indeed no less than 10,000 catties! To be exact, more than 18,000 catties!"

it!?

How much ??? more than 18,000 catties?

Many people's eyes bulged out instantly, so special...... I used to think that no less than 10,000 catties was already terrifying, but now you tell me that it is more than 18,000 catties, which is almost double that of 10,000 catties???

"Don't worry!"

Lin Zifan smiled confidently.

"Although, this thing is indeed a big iron gull. But thanks to the success of our steel-making policy, today, Datang is not unaffordable!"

"It's really affordable, but is it necessary? Moreover, even if there is Anshan Iron Mine as a support, I'm afraid, I don't necessarily be able to build too many railways, right?"

Prime Minister Cao Cheng questioned, slowly shook his head and said: "As the prime minister, this official must play an auxiliary role! Such unnecessary investment is a waste!"

"Really?"

Lin Zifan spread his hands: "However, what everyone sees is just a part of the train, or ...... It's just the most one-sided situation. ”

"What do you mean?"

Everyone was puzzled and asked.

"To put it simply, it's just a part of the train that is more important, but the smallest part of the space!"

"A train, running on the tracks, under normal circumstances, whether it is carrying goods or the space for people to ride, is at least a hundred times more than a locomotive!"

Lin Zifan's eyes were shining and full of confidence!

Isn't it just for me to convince you?

What am I afraid of?

It's not even difficult???

"A hundredfold?"

The civil and military officials were shocked, after all, a hundred times the words...... That's a bit too much!

"That's right. At least a hundredfold!"

"Just imagine, an hour, at least 200 miles of speed, a train, at least tens of thousands of people......"

"Isn't it useless to exist like this?"

"Chicken ribs?"
