Chapter 278: Captain Rong takes the train
After waiting on the platform for a while, the guards accompanying them arranged for them to go to the first heavy blade city, that is, the "car" at the front, a dark green carriage hung behind the most steam locomotive.
Inside the dark green carriage were rows of wooden benches, large enough to seat a hundred or ten people, facing each other, and in the middle there was a small table embedded under the window and supported by a wrist-thick wooden post.
As soon as they sat down, some guards gave Captain Rong and others a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks, and the guards who put them in the car also said to Captain Rong apologetically that since the current military management is fully implemented in Blade City, there is no special "bus", so it can only temporarily add a car carrying people behind the "truck".
Because this kind of car is said to be called "steam train", although Rong Wei they have seen it from afar, but they have not sat in person, plus sitting in the spacious carriage drinking tea, eating snacks and hurrying is very novel and interesting, Rong Wei and the others did not have any resentment this time, they were very generous with a smile, they also knew that I am afraid that this kind of treatment can only be enjoyed by a very small number of special guests.
With a deafening whistle of "woo" in front, the body shook, and there was a dense "click" sound under the carriage, and it started slowly, and under the shock of Rong Wei and others, these leopards, they ran faster and faster, and the speed at the end was not inferior to those ordinary war horses galloping at full speed
The train was extremely smooth and comfortable compared to horseback riding), and it ran so fast and dragged so much that Lieutenant Rong almost immediately noticed that the benefits of this thing in transporting baggage in wartime were unlikely to be comparable to any pack beast on land except for the transportation by ship by water
But what Rong Wei didn't know was that the locomotive used in the train they were on was actually the third-generation locomotive researched by the Tiangong Group, the steam locomotive of Tiangong No. 3, and a lot of technical upgrades have been made in various details, and it is no longer like at the beginning, with a speed of ten kilometers per hour.
Through continuous local revisions, Tiangong No. 3 has gradually been equipped with a separating condenser, peripheral insulation layer, self-lubricating piston, planetary gear, flywheel, parallel motion connecting rod mechanism, centrifugal governor and throttle valve, and the current form is infinitely close to the steam locomotive known by Gu Yi.
Although the details certainly cannot be completely replicated, but in terms of effect alone, it is not inferior.
Due to the quality of the rails, they could not bear too much pressure, so Tiangong No. 3 had to use small freight cars, each carrying 500 kilograms to one ton, and each locomotive carrying 60 to 120 carriages to share the weight.
This leads to the fact that Tiangong No. 3 looks like a super long centipede with a big head and a thin body, although it is ugly, but the carrying capacity is not low at all, it can run at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour when it is fully loaded (0 tons), and it can even run at a speed of 120 to 130 kilometers per hour when it is unloaded.
This kind of speed is already a very remarkable speed in the Great Wilderness, so it is no wonder that Rong Wei was surprised, the only bad thing is that the steam is too big, especially in the early winter when the snow has begun to fall, as soon as you run, the steam steam emitted by the steam engine is called a sky and the sun, and it looks like a smoke dragon galloping from a distance, and it is not less frightening the villagers who accidentally see a pee and a crotch, a pee and a crotch.
Rong Wei and others sitting in the carriage, although they can look out through the window of the carriage with glass, but under the steam, they can't see anything at all, but for Rong Wei and others who take the train for the first time, it is another fresh experience, as if it is like a cloud, amazing miracle.
Because such a passenger car was temporarily hung behind the truck, the train responsible for transporting the goods stood in the middle several times, so that Rong Wei, who had been enjoying the treatment of steamed buns, had a chance to look out.
To their surprise, the train had passed through twelve self-contained Blade Cities before reaching the front line...... Just look at the "station name" that you have passed: No. 12丨Blade City丨, No. 5丨Blade City丨, No. 1丨Blade City丨.
However, the 60-kilometer journey would take half an hour on horseback, but it took almost two hours to arrive by train, and when the guards came to ask them to get off the train, the officers who had come to "inspect" with Captain Rong were still unfinished looking at each other.
As soon as they got out of the car, Rong Wei and the others were shocked by the murderous atmosphere in No. 1 Blade City, a large number of soldiers were busy, sending all kinds of ordnance and supplies to the towering city wall, and then transported to the top of the wall with a height of 70 meters through a series of gallows, cranes or elevators installed on the wall.
Lieutenant Rong and a group of people stood on the platform in a daze, looking at a team of heavy axemen like iron cans, "clicking" with heavy steps, running by with a bang, and the hideous metal heavy armor on their bodies was as heavy as a tank.
"That's that"
A well-informed guard officer seemed to see something, and pointed at the group of heavy axemen who ran over without saying a word.
Not only him, but everyone in the "patrol group" almost immediately noticed that not only the heavy axemen, but also almost all the fighters in the air battalion were wearing a full set of exquisite armor, but according to different duties, the types and models they wore were different.
The logistics personnel who do not need to climb the city wall are all dressed in light leather armor, and the main combat personnel fighting on the city wall are wearing metal armor with high defensive power
丨Lock Scale Light Armor丨 is the so-called "chain armor" or "scale armor", which is made of a dense metal ring of scale-like metal armor leaves, which is light and flexible, but the defense is not low.
丨Mountain character armor丨It is a thumb-thick "mountain" triangular prismatic metal block wedged together, which not only forms a convex and uneven edge that can defend against arrows, but also has a defensive power that should not be underestimated.
丨Mingguang Heavy Armor丨Not only the chest and back, but also the shoulders, elbows, knees and other joints are reinforced with shiny one-inch thick mirror armor, and other non-critical parts are also composed of heavy metal plates.
丨Heavy Gothic Thorn Battle Armor丨 is perverted, the weight of one ton already shows its protective ability, this thing from top to bottom, except for the window and breathing holes, all are sealed, one-piece design, resulting in this thing has no way to put on or take off by itself.
Rong Wei and they may not know that the material of these terrible things is dark iron, but just looking at these armor that is no different from robots after wearing them, and how terrifying the defensive power of these armor is, they are surprised at the same time, they inevitably gasp for the wealth of the trapping camp...... These warriors are still wearing magic armor
How afraid of death do you have to be to dress like this?
Directly wear the magic armor that is not low in defense as inner armor?
Half amazed and half mockingly shook his head, Rong Wei's heart was full of horror, it was ridiculous that he didn't take this small character from a lowly subordinate person in his eyes at the beginning, but now he has grown into a terrifying giant crocodile that even he is not easy to provoke.
Fortunately, although the two sides have been in constant conflict, they have never officially torn their faces, and according to the recent situation, the relationship between everyone does not seem to be without the possibility of slowing down.
The person who knows the times is Junjie, and he can sit in the position of a Bao Rong Lieutenant for so many years, of course he knows what to do is the wisest choice, and now the situation in Zhongrong County is unpredictable, rather than rashly offending a giant crocodile entrenched around him, it is better to choose to befriend him.
At this moment, it is time for the change of dynasty, and all the lands are rising, and the Rong clan and Shangfeng are probably already too busy to take care of themselves, and there is the energy to pay attention to him as a mere border lieutenant, in order to protect himself, he can even let go of the Shirong contradiction between him and Baozheng, what else can not be put on hold temporarily?
Just as he was amazed, the nominal commander of the K battalion in the trap air combat camp, and the leader of the personal guards of the fort, Hu Hu, hurried over with a bloody breath of fire and fire, and met everyone with Yili.
Rong Wei, who had made up his mind in his heart, looked extremely gentle, and asked casually, "Why don't you see Gu Zuoling?"
Not to mention the stunned Amber Tiger, even the guards under Captain Rong had strange expressions on their faces.
Although everyone knows that the leader behind this trapped-air battle camp is Na Gu Yi, but the nominal commander of the capital camp is already standing in front of you, and as soon as you open your mouth, you skip the chief officer and ask the adjutant directly, what kind of trouble is this?
"Huh?"
After Hu Hu paused for a moment, he replied helplessly: "Shaoyi is commanding ...... on the city wall."
Rong Wei's words made him a little depressed, although he himself knew that with the gradual deepening of the relationship between Baozheng, Xiaoyi Lord and Gu Yi, coupled with the closer and closer cooperation between the Iron Furnace Castle, the Shi clan and the bluestone leader, the Jade Battalion, which originally belonged to him, would definitely not be able to escape Gu Yi's clutches, but should he be so blatantly ignored as the nominal leader of the K battalion?
As soon as the words came out, Rong Wei was also slightly embarrassed to know that he had lost his words, so Yu smiled and quickly took over the conversation: "Let's go and see, let's see"
Speaking of hurrying towards the towering city walls, they were anxious to see how the trapping camp was defending against the Li Yi rebels who gave them all a headache.
