"It's okay, anyway, after a while, if you see more, they won't have so many people coming over to join in the fun." I waved my hand and smiled. There are indeed more people, and today they have specially brought a large number of guards, just for fear of accidents, and now it seems that at least the common people like to watch the excitement but are very well-behaved.

After a short time, I finally heard a long whistle, and we all walked out of the hall waiting in the VIP room, and there was a rumbling sound in the distance, and when we looked out, we could see a black and red front of the car approaching, and above the front of the car, it was always spitting thick white smoke.

The closer you go, the louder it becomes, and the menacing power of the steam locomotive is intimidating. The steam spewed out makes the train and even the station feel like floating in a fairyland.

As the train approached the station, its speed slowed down and slowly approached the platform. In front of you is the locomotive of a steam locomotive and a car dedicated to pulling coal and water, and in the back, there are five brown cars with glass windows, which are very beautiful, at least they feel very fresh, and there is a long license plate outside each car with the name of the starting station and the name of the final station.

There is hardly much difference from the carriages of the later generations that I remember. However, the surface is not green, but brown, because the surface of the carriage is smeared with pure natural and pollution-free paint, not the paint produced by the chemical industry of later generations. And when the train station is stopped, the entrance and exit of the platform and the carriage are level, and the gap between them is very small, so that people will not accidentally fall down.

There was a commotion in the crowd, but it quickly subsided, but the noise even drowned out the roar of the train's steam.

Our group walked along the platform towards the back of the train, and at this time, some people had already seen our group, and some of them even recognized me, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, and then, the crowd quickly quieted down, and the people fell to the ground one after another.

I could only stop and calm myself down, and then I entered the carriage, and I saw that in the carriage, the rows of seats, although they were still wooden, were all painted and looked very refreshing, and in addition, there would be a small square table between each two rows to facilitate people to put things or food.

"Your Majesty, the carriages are two meters seven meters high, three meters five wide, and twenty-two meters five in length, and there are a total of one hundred and eighteen seats in each carriage, in addition, each carriage will have an open-fire boiler to facilitate drinking water for passengers, and at each end of the passenger carriage, there will also be a toilet, and in addition, each carriage will have a guard to ensure the safety of the train...... "The samurai walked in the front, while walking, while introducing the situation of this brown leather carriage.

Well, yes, it's a lot better, and with the window glass, the roar of steam in the cabin is much quieter. Because the sound insulation is made everywhere in the carriage, it is felt wool that is used, and the effect is not much worse than that of sound insulation cotton.

Five carriages, after walking for almost a quarter of an hour, came out of the carriage and returned to the VIP lounge. Next, it was time to let people enter the station to sit on the bus, but fortunately, each passage was strictly controlled.

In addition, there is a guard outside the door of each carriage, and every passenger enters the carriage according to the ticket number. That is, in less than a cup of tea, all the passengers have already sat in the carriage. On the platform, there are many people who come to see them off and people who come to enjoy the train.

With the wave of the red flag, the front of the train once again sounded the whistle, and then began to slowly begin to move forward, watching the steam locomotive gradually move away, and the heart of this son almost flew towards the north with the train.

"When do you think you'll be back?" Li Xuanba asked in a low voice to Luo Shixin beside him.

"Didn't Fang Cai Wu Shangshu say everything? You can return to Chang'an in six and a half hours. Luo Shixin glanced at Li Xuanba, and his eyes seemed to be looking at the mentally retarded.

"Why don't we take a gamble?" Li Xuanba didn't think so, and grabbed Luo Shixin's shoulder and raised his eyebrows at this guy. "I think there's only six hours at most to go back and forth."

"Don't talk nonsense, can Wu Shangshu still fool us." Luo Shixin pursed his lips.

"Okay, don't make trouble, husband, can you really get there in six and a half hours?" Sister Yaoguang glared at these two guys, and Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba immediately shut up. Luo Shixin's current relationship with Li Xuanba is like wearing the same pants, but because of this reason, when Luo Shixin faces Yaoguang, he has a tendency to move closer to Li Xuanba.

"I guess I can get there. It's the beginning of the hour, so let's wait for six hours, let's come back and see if we can really go back and forth in six and a half hours. "I also want to know the ending, and after looking at the drip, I said to the ministers.

Everyone is also looking forward to it with me, six hours, said long is not long, short is not short, the beginning of the hour, and when it comes to the time, it is exactly six hours. It is between 7 and 9 p.m.

After returning to the palace, dealing with a day's official business, and having a working meal in the palace with a major minister, he once again went out of Chang'an City and went straight to the train station. The road is not far, after leaving the city, it is only about ten minutes on foot, and it takes three or five minutes to arrive by horse-drawn carriage.

However, the samurai had already arrived in advance, and he, the scholar in charge of transportation and road construction, was more nervous than us about whether the train would arrive in Chang'an on time.

After arriving here, I continued to wait in the VIP hall that had not yet opened, and at this time, it was already the beginning of the year. A ticket of people sat in the VIP lounge while sipping fragrant tea and bragging and fartizing, while waiting for the return of the train.

Time passed one by one, but just arrived at the moment of the hour, I heard a faint roar in the distance, and at this time, Li Yuanfang, who was excited, rushed in from outside the room. "Childe, the train is back."

Damn, Ben Gongzi immediately threw a good card in his hand on the desk and stood up and strode out. Sure enough, in the distance, under the gradual sky, you can see a light shining, spitting water vapor in the night, revealing a trace of magnificence, and the roar of the train is getting louder and louder, indicating that the train is getting closer and closer.

After a while, under the light of the horse lantern standing there, the train spewed hot steam and stopped in front of the station platform. Among the people who got off the bus, there were many people who had just gotten on it early this morning and went to test the car.

There are also many people who come to Chang'an by train from Yan'an. Looking at the passengers who got off the train, and the businessmen who had obtained the test ride qualification, they were excitedly gesturing to each other, and they didn't know what they were exchanging.

Anyway, it must be a good thing, and they should also be able to see the benefits of the appearance of the steam locomotive for them.

Soon, more than a dozen technicians who arrived in Yan'an from Chang'an on this train and came back from Yan'an were summoned to inquire.

According to them, the speed of the train was fast enough, and the speed of each hour was about ten miles faster than that of the test site, that is, two hundred and thirty miles per hour. From Chang'an to Yan'an, it was less than 700 miles, so it took less than three hours for the train to arrive in Yan'an.

After that, it took nearly half an hour to check the situation in Yan'an, so it took less than three hours to make a one-way trip.

Very satisfied, but only today is a trial run, and in the next half a month, a high-intensity non-manned test will be taken, well, in fact, it is to stuff the passenger car back into the warehouse, and then start pulling the goods. There are a lot of military supplies in Chang'an that need to be transported to Yan'an, and now that there is this thing, it is natural to be able to transport goods by the way when the experimental drive is carried out.

After that, it ran for five days in a row, running on the railroad for ten hours a day. A mechanical inspection was carried out every day, and there were only a few minor faults, and there were no major failures, and after maintenance, it started running again.

After almost half a month of trial operation, it was finally concluded that the train could indeed become the main transportation backbone of the Chinese Empire in the future. It is very convenient to use the cement straight road and the railway in parallel.

Based on the success of the trial during this period of time, the technicians came to the conclusion that there is still great room for improvement in the transportation capacity and speed of the steam locomotive in the future.

At present, the type 6 locomotive is being developed, and several test runs have been carried out, and it is expected to be able to tow ten to twelve passenger cars or freight cars. Well, of course, this is not the limit, I remember that later generations once visited Luogang with the town secretary, at that time Luogang had four steam locomotives, according to what the driver said, a steam locomotive can pull more than 30 wagons at a time, 2,800 tons of goods, however, it transports more, eats more, and runs 24 hours to burn 12 tons of coal.

As for why it took off so quickly like the Great Leap Forward, it was because of the guidance of me, a traverser who knew the principle of the steam engine and had also seen the structure of the steam locomotive, and in addition, we were not engaged in private research and development like those Western barbarians, and we often lacked funds, materials, and venues.

Whether it is raw materials or technical personnel, they have concentrated the world's top ones, coupled with the supply and incentive of this son regardless of cost, so that there can be such rapid progress. Because I know how much the steam engine and the steam locomotive play in promoting the progress of society.

More than 80 percent of these technical staff who study and build steam locomotives come from the engineering school of the Royal Academy, and they already enjoy the sense of accomplishment that comes with this job. In the future, they will invent more and better machines.

Nowadays, there are already technicians who have proposed to install steam engines on ships to allow ships to achieve faster speeds. For such a vision, Ben Gongzi raised his hands in agreement.
