On the clean and wide platform, under the arch guard of the Jinyi guard, a group of officials waited for Hang Min, and after Hang Min arrived, he greeted everyone for a while, and it was an auspicious time.

With Hang Min's order, many soldiers lifted the red silk.

A behemoth appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Up to two hundred meters.

It is made of eight sections, plus the front of the car, a total of nine sections, painted dark red, revealing the calm temperament of steel - in fact, in order to reduce its own weight, many places are wooden.

On the body of the front of the car, three words were written in the way of painting: Shenlong.

The name was taken by the Department of Road Traffic.

It's vulgar.

But all love it.

Hang Min and Yu Qian cut the ribbon for the first trial of the Shenlong, as the scissors fell, the firecrackers exploded, the operator on the front of the car quickly turned on the steam engine, black smoke rose up, and after a while, white steam overflowed.

Hang Min made a gesture of please.

Let Yu Qian wait for the first train, and then lead his colleagues to board the first carriage in turn.

After everyone sat down, there were servants and maids from the dining car to bring snacks, tea and fruits, Hang Min and Yu Qian sat opposite each other, and said with a smile: "In fact, it is to improve the steam transport car, enhance the power of the steam engine and the number of sections of the carriage, of course, it is easy to say, in fact, it is difficult, for example, the steam engine to increase the power, the pressure in the cylinder skyrockets, and in order to achieve the corresponding performance of the cylinder, the steel mill has gathered a large number of technical personnel to tackle key problems, so in a word, In fact, behind it is the painstaking efforts of countless people. ”

Yu Qian bowed, "Now the level of steelmaking technology in my Ming Dynasty is unimaginable compared to twenty years ago, as if a lot of special steel has been smelted in the steelmaking plant?" ”

Hang Min said with a smile: "Indeed, the steelmaking process can be so improved, the chemical group in charge of Yu Kang of the Academy of Engineering has made great contributions, and many materials needed for special steel are made by their chemical group, which is also interesting, and the improvement of the steelmaking process has also indirectly improved the production level of glass and porcelain in my Ming Dynasty!" ”

Chen Xundao, who was sitting on the side: "Actually, with the measures promoted by His Majesty's various industries, the level of all walks of life has been greatly improved. ”

Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty's measures should be a complete set of systems, so that if there is demand in one place, it can drive the improvement of other industries." ”

Hang Min smiled: "That's basically the truth. ”

The captain of the Shenlong walked from the front of the car to the carriage, and after saluting, he said, "Yu Shaobao, Hang Shangshu, are you driving?" ”

Yu Qian nodded, "Pay attention to safety." ”

Yu Qian is not afraid of death, he believes in the ability of the East Palace Military Research Institute, if he is not absolutely sure, he will not let the train on the road, but almost half of the courtiers on the car, if something happens and the whole army is annihilated, it will be an unbearable blow to the court.

Woo~

In a sudden and huge painful sound that made people's eardrums hurt, everyone only felt a pause under their feet, and then they felt the train slowly moving forward, and then the speed became faster and faster.

The sound of clanging is endless.

The view outside the window began to speed by.

The status is a little lower, and he doesn't care about decency, lying on the window and looking out of the car, while Yu Qian and the others in Jiuqing are calm on the surface, but they are actually very surprised in their hearts.

So smooth?!

Much more comfortable than a horse-drawn carriage, and faster.

A black smoke rushed into the sky, and the Shenlong was like a long dragon, shuttling from the platform outside Gyeonggi to the distance, and the observation points set up along the way went all out to ensure the smooth flow of the train.

The road from Gyeonggi to Taiyuan is a concrete official road with two railroad tracks.

There are no trains, and on weekdays there are pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages.

Therefore, it is necessary to set up observation points at intervals to ensure the safety of pedestrians, and pedestrians can continue to walk on the official road after the train has passed.

Yu Qian smiled and said to Hang Min with a smile: "I see that this safety measure is also relatively good, but it will delay the time of pedestrians, and this track can only pass in one direction, reducing the transportation capacity of the train, can we consider building another official road so that the train can lead to travel?" ”

Hang Min said: "The Road Traffic Department of the Ministry of Industry has this plan, but at present, there are more official roads under construction, and this matter has to be postponed, and it costs a lot of money, and it is estimated that if you want to build a two-way traffic spider web cement pipeline all over the country according to Your Majesty's plan, it will take more than ten years or even decades of continuous investment, but I don't think the problem is big." ”

Daming now has money.

And it has the manpower of the Indochina Peninsula.

As long as His Majesty's policy remains unchanged, the Ministry of Industry will be able to continue to increase the construction of official roads.

Yu Qian nodded slightly, "In this matter, your Ministry of Industry should cultivate successors, let them uphold their original intentions, and strive to achieve His Majesty's grand ambitions, and ...... that day."

After a pause, "I can't imagine it!" ”

Chen Xun also sighed on the side: "Indeed, the current atmosphere of my Ming Dynasty, in the orthodox years, no one can imagine such a situation, it is like walking into an unknown world." ”

Steel battleships, steam tanks, steam transporters, and all kinds of firepower heavy artillery.

In addition, it has begun large-scale production, and the permanent bicycle that will be on the market at the right time, the time that relied on foot power and horse-drawn carriage traffic in the past will gradually disappear, and there will be countless Shenlong on the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and there will be countless bicycles galloping between the mountains and rivers.

Thinking of this, Chen Xun suddenly smiled and asked Hang Min, "Hang Shangshu, the permanent bicycle factory that you and Your Majesty jointly run has given a lot of them to your colleagues in the DPRK and China, I have already learned them, have you learned them?" ”

Hang Min smiled: "Not yet, there are a lot of wrestling." ”

Because the chemical team made the rubber, so the bicycle solved the problem of wheels, and other components can be used with the steelmaking level of the Ming Dynasty, but the bicycle made now is not perfect after all, so it is a test of the operator's physical strength.

Hang Min is busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Engineering all day long, and he has little time to exercise.

Physical strength is not good.

So as long as you studied, you fell as long as you could.

Yu Qian laughed, "I see that Yu Kang learned it after taking some time at home, and he was old, and he wanted to learn but couldn't, but unfortunately, he couldn't experience such a novelty." In other words, this bicycle is really good, suitable for the people, and a certain is also convinced, how did His Majesty design such a traffic monster. ”

Hang Min said: "Those who are born to know are also! ”

Chen Xun glanced at the carriage and said with a smile: "If the cement pipeline can bear the weight, a train of Shenlong can transport at least about 2,000 soldiers, and at that time, where my Majesty's holy decree goes, my Ming will be able to come immediately, and the Ming Dynasty will have no local hidden dangers, and it can also deter foreign countries at any time, and the exploits of His Majesty Emperor Guang'an can be based on the Qin Emperor and Han Wu!" ”

Hang Min smiled and sighed: "But the road is long, there are still many things that need to be improved in the train, I hope all my colleagues and a certain together, for Your Majesty, for the Ming Dynasty, for the people of the world, to create a new world!" ”
