Just when Yin Shuo and Yin Hao were secretly competing, wanting to compare the gap between himself and Yin Hao, Yin Hao was carefully observing the railroad tracks and steam locomotives in the image, and then combined with his own experience, he judged how valuable the steam locomotive was to the Moon Empire.

At the same time, Yin Yue was also thinking about the same problem.

It is not difficult to hear from what Yin Shuo said just now that the steam locomotive can indeed carry a weight of 200 stones and travel 2,500 miles a day, but that is based on the premise of walking on the rails. If there are no railroad tracks, I believe that with the weight of a steam locomotive weighing more than 10,000 catties, it is not said that 2,500 miles a day, that is, 1 mile a day, I am afraid it will be very difficult!

And to make railroad tracks, obviously, you need money! And it's obviously a lot of money!

Yin Yue didn't feel sorry for money and didn't want to spend money to build roads. In fact, a large part of the annual national tax of the Empire will be invested in road construction, and there are many official roads or military roads that are the same as the railroad tracks, which are all roads dedicated to the Empire's officials, parties, or military and parties.

At this time, Yin Yue was thinking about the maintenance of the railroad tracks after they were built. Ordinary official roads or military roads only need to be taken care of a little on weekdays, and they can be used for a long time without being abandoned. If there is a landslide or blockage, report it after it is found, and hand it over to a special person to deal with. But not the rails.

The railroad track carries a big creature weighing more than 10,000 catties, and this weight itself is not something that ordinary roads can bear! Moreover, since the steam locomotive can travel 2,500 miles a day, its speed can be seen!

Although Yin Yue didn't know what kinetic energy was, he knew that when a big guy weighing more than 10,000 catties was speeding with his life, if he encountered a landslide or a road blockage, then there would be no other result except for the destruction of the car and the death of people!

Therefore, the safety and maintenance of the rails is very important! Once in service, there can be no mistakes. Otherwise, the steam locomotive will not only not be able to bear the heavy responsibility of transportation, but will also cause a lot of manpower and material losses!

"Father, the son thinks that this steam locomotive has its merits. Yin Hao thought for a long time, and finally bowed down to Yin Yue and said, "Now that the twelfth brother has built a steamship, in this way, the Lanjiang River, which runs through the east and west of my empire, can bear the burden of transportation in the east and west of the empire. ”

"However, in the territory of my Moon-by-Moon Empire, there are no major rivers other than the Lan River. So in my Moon-by-Moon Empire, water transport is far less important than land transport. ”

"Now the steam locomotive developed by the Twelfth Brother can greatly improve the land transportation capacity within the empire. Erchen thinks that the Ministry of Industry should be ordered to build a steam locomotive at once, and at the same time send someone to study the laying of the rails!"

Yin Hao's proposal was actually what Yin Shuo was about to say, but at this time, Yin Shuo was preempted by Yin Hao, and Yin Shuo felt a little unhappy in his heart. I thought to myself, you are quite good at borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, the image I showed to my father, and the steam locomotive and the railroad track were also made by me. But it's good for you to take the things in my hand to ask my father for credit, this is to empty gloves white wolf!

However, the abacus played very well, but after all, he was a little anxious. Thinking of this, Yin Shuo smiled slightly, bowed down and said, "Father, the son thinks that the matter of the steam locomotive should not be rushed!"

"What are your concerns? Yin Yue was asking Yin Shuo what worries on the surface, but in fact, she was reminding Yin Hao that the matter of steam locomotives should not be rushed. At least until the protection and maintenance of the tracks are in place, you can't be manipulative.

Steam locomotives are so dependent on rails that the slightest mishap can cause the car to crash and die. On the Zhongling Continent, there are many cultivators, and any cultivator can easily destroy the railroad tracks. What if after the Moon Empire built the railroad tracks, there were cultivators from neighboring countries who infiltrated the country and attacked the rails...... The railroad tracks that stretch for thousands of miles are impossible to prevent!

"Father, one of the fatal flaws of steam locomotives is that they cannot leave the tracks. Moreover, the steam locomotive itself is self-weighted and fast, and when it runs on the rails, once a section of the track is loose, biased, or the track collapses, the only thing waiting for the steam locomotive is the result of the car being destroyed and people dying. ”

What Yin Shuo said coincided with the worry in Yin Yue's heart, so after listening to it, Yin Yue nodded thoughtfully.

And after Yin Shuo got Yin Yue's affirmation, he couldn't help but look at Yin Hao. I thought, my big brother, it's just like that!

Yin Hao's attention was still on the railroad tracks at this time, so he didn't notice the change in the expression on Yin Shuo's face. However, when he listened to Yin Shuo's words, he nodded immediately, and then shook his head and said with a frown.

"What the twelfth brother said is extremely true, but it is not without a solution. Although the rails are made up of tens of thousands of short sections of rails that stretch for thousands of miles, and are extremely difficult to maintain one by one, they are closely arranged and cohesive. Why don't you have runes carved into each section of the rails that make up the rails, and connect them one by one to make the whole track stand on its own!"

"In this way, if a section of the track is loose or biased, the connected runes will be disconnected. In this way, we can find out that there is a problem with the railroad track at the first time, and through the runes engraved on the rail, we can find the railroad track with the problem at the first time, and remove the danger!"

Listening to Yin Shuo's words, Yin Shuo fell into a deep shock! For a long time, the expression like eating fly feces appeared on Yin Shuo's face.

Carving runes on the track, such a simple method, why didn't I think of it? Yin Shuo felt that his whole person was not good!

In fact, Yin Shuo can't be blamed, mainly because he worries about making the steam locomotives, steam ships, walkie-talkies and other things made by Yin Shuo too magical, and Yin Shuo thinks that the design drawings of these things are all from the codex of the old man Xingyue, which is the wisdom of extraterritorial demons.

Yin Shuo had a preconceived idea, feeling that since these things came from the wisdom of extraterritorial demons, they naturally couldn't be changed at will with the spells on the Zhongling Continent.

At this time, I think about it, didn't the disc engraved with the miniature thunderstorm that he made him make in the end be put into the walkie-talkie? And because the disc engraved with the miniature thunderstorm was put in, the new walkie-talkie no longer had to shake the handle when it was used.

Since walkie-talkies can be improved by implanting discs engraved with miniature thunderstorms, why can't you specialize in runes on the rails to know exactly how safe the rails are?

Even if you don't know 100% about the safety status of the track bed, you can know 100% about the coherence of the track and track line, and know the specific location of the track problem in real time!

In this way, the difficulty of track maintenance can be greatly reduced, and the operation safety of steam locomotives is guaranteed! )
