Chapter 189: On the Right Track (17)

After hearing what Yin Shuo said, Yin Shuo's first reaction was to laugh and laugh out loud. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even though he has recently received guidance from a master and created some good things, he blindly exaggerates the facts when he speaks because of his own shallow knowledge.

Pulling 200 stone meters, running for a day, can you run 2,500 miles?!

Hah! It's ridiculous!

Have you ever seen a high-level transportation device? Do you know, even if it is the best existing transportation device in the Moon Empire, under the condition of pulling two hundred stone meters, it is not possible to travel 2,500 miles a day.

All you need is a pot of water and a little animal fat?

Hahaha! It's the biggest thing in the world...... Big...... Delay...... Ga......

Yin Hao didn't look down on Yin Shuo, but felt that Yin Shuo's cowhide was a little too big, and he was completely unconvinced by common sense. Therefore, the prince of the Moon Empire, who has always been known for his gentleness and profundity, would suddenly be rude in front of Yin Yue and Yin Shuo.

This really can't be blamed for Yin Hao's superficiality, because not only does he think that Yin Shuo is bragging, but even Yin Yue, who has been in the top position for a long time and is full of joy and anger, couldn't help but show a disappointed expression after hearing what Yin Shuo said. It's just that Yin Yue is still more sophisticated than Yin Hao, even if he already knew in his heart that Yin Shuo was bragging, he didn't directly laugh at it.

This is the difference between those who have been in positions of power for a long time and those who have not yet reached the pinnacle of power. Yin Hao laughed at Yin Shuo, and the ridicule was indeed quite happy. However, after laughing twice, he had to stop stiffly, and soon, Yin's face became as ugly as eating fly.

Yin Shuo took out an image spar from his bosom, although this spar did not look comparable to the one in Yin Hao's storage ring in terms of texture and size. However, the picture recorded in the image crystal is very clear, just like the image that Yin Hao showed Yin Yue before, it is immersive!

It's a big, strangely shaped guy with a steel plate throughout, divided into ten sections in total. Each carriage is rectangular, two people high, more than one zhang wide, about ten zhang long. There are many small wheels placed side by side under each carriage, and the wheels are also made of metal, which looks black and shiny, and quite hard.

Underneath this oddly long guy, there are two thick metal strips side by side, and the ends of the metal strips all extend to the end of the field of vision, so the length is unknown. In addition, there are many crosswoods under these two metal strips, and under the crosswoods are fine sand and stones.

If anyone looks down from above this strange thing, they will see that this thing looks very much like an oversized centipede, which is extremely strange.

This thing is the first steam locomotive made by Erchen, with a total length of 110 zhang and a weight of more than 10,000 catties. Yin Shuo pointed to the long strange guy in the image and introduced it to Yin Hao. At this time, Yin Shuo's face was quite colorful.

Yin Shuo knew that whether it was the talent of cultivation or the cultivation of power, he wanted to go far from Yin Hao. But at this time, he was able to fight back in the ridicule of his brother, which made the prince of the Moon Empire ashamed. This feeling of pleasure is like eating ginseng fruit, and there are 100,000 pores all over the body, all of which are comfortable!

"Of the ten carriages, the front and rear two are power carriages with specially made large steam engines. The two adjacent carriages are used to carry fuel such as animal fat. ”

"Both power cars are equipped with power switching devices, which can be the front of each other. In this way, you don't have to worry about turning around. ”

Power compartment, power switcher and other terms are all handed over to Yin Shuo. At the beginning, after He Wei handed over the design drawings of the steam locomotive to Yin Shuo, due to the problems of insufficient braking system, less track laying, and lack of dispatching personnel. He Wei suggested to Yin Shuo that when Yin Shuo built a steam locomotive, he would put a power carriage in front and rear of each car.

In this way, a truck can run back and forth on a line without making a U-turn, which greatly saves the need for tracks. At the same time, both braking compartments have power switchers, once the braking in distress is not timely, the direction of rotation of the wheels can be changed at the same time, so that it will be affected by braking and increase braking capacity.

Yin Yue and Yin Hao had already seen the magic of the steamship from the images sent by their subordinates, so Yin Shuo explained a little, and they understood the working principle of the steam locomotive. By analogy, it was found that Yin Shuo's "carrying a weight of 200 stones, traveling 2,500 miles a day" is exaggerated, but it is not completely impossible!

"This kind of steam locomotive needs to run a specific route?" After all, Yin Hao was the prince of the Moon Empire, and he didn't say anything about his bearing or knowledge. When he realized that Yin Shuo was not just bragging about it, he did not forcibly justify his rude behavior just now, but immediately corrected his attitude and focused his attention on the study of steam locomotives.

Yin Hao soon noticed that the wheels of steam locomotives were very different from ordinary wheels. The first is that there are many and small, and the second is that the wheels are divided into two circles, inside and outside. The wheels of the steam locomotive, with a slightly smaller outer ring, rested horizontally on the two metal strips on the ground.

The inner ring of the steam locomotive wheel is two inches larger than the outer ring, and the difference between these two inches makes the inner ring of the steam locomotive just on the inside of the two metal strips. As a result, a steam locomotive happened to be stuck between two metal strips, so that it could only move back and forth on the two metal strips, and could not move laterally at will.

"Yes, these two metal tracks on the ground, called rails, are dedicated to the running of steam locomotives. When the steam locomotive is moving, it cannot turn sharply and can only travel along the tracks. In this way, although the agility of the steam locomotive is limited, the speed of the steam locomotive can be greatly increased!" Yin Shuo explained.

Yin Shuo was not surprised that Yin Hao could see the mystery of the railroad tracks so quickly. After all, he is a prince, and his knowledge must be extraordinary. However, Yin Shuo was able to escape from the embarrassment of being ridiculed so quickly, but was slapped in the face, and immediately devoted his attention to the study of steam locomotives, but Yin Shuo did not expect.

Seeing the fading shame on Yin Hao's face, Yin Shuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder the eldest brother was able to get his father's respect. Although the eldest brother can't be pampered and not surprised, he can adjust his mentality so quickly and devote his attention to important things. This alone is beyond your reach!

Thinking of this, a sense of comparison quietly rose in Yin Shuo's heart. Yin Shuo wanted to compete for the throne, and the prince in front of him was a direct competitor that he could not avoid.

It is rare to have the opportunity today, Yin Shuo wants to know how big the gap between himself and the prince is! )
