Chapter 579: Ying Zheng's Shock

Bai Zhong went back to Xianyang, told Yingzheng all about the train, asked for permission, and set off to Shangshan together to observe the train.

Yingzheng handed over the affairs of the family and the country to Fusu to be responsible, took a large group of ministers, and 100,000 troops, and left Guanzhong in a mighty way, as a parade.

When they came to the bottom of Shang Mountain, the people of the Mo family were already waiting.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Ling Zhi and the others bowed down, and the cries of all the Mo family disciples thundered.

Ying Zheng enjoyed this feeling very much, waved his hand and said, "You are exempt from courtesy." ”

Then his gaze fell on the railroad tracks next to him, the platform where the train had already stopped, the long carriage, the appearance was made of iron, and the wheels were all steel.

The rails are fixed to the ground, the iron wheels of the train are stuck on the tracks, and the long train towers under the foot of Shangshan.

The shape of the locomotive looks a little strange, and the shape of the carriage also makes them feel novel.

The windows are still made of glass, which is a bit of a luxury for them.

Ying Zheng and all the ministers, it was the first time to see such a novelty, the ministers were curious, if it weren't for Ying Zheng's constraints, they would have walked over and carefully observed the train.

"Wu Anjun, this is the train?"

Ying Zheng asked curiously, "Can I go up and have a look?" ”

Bai Zhong nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please Ling Zhi explain the structure of the train to Your Majesty." ”

"Yui!"

Ling Zhi stepped forward first to lead the way, Ying Zheng and a group of ministers followed, and everyone walked into the carriage together, and their eyes couldn't help but light up.

From the outside, the carriage does not seem to be large.

Inside, it's very spacious, and there are rows of seats fixed, which can be moved and split at any time according to needs, and everything inside makes them amazed.

Ling Zhi led the way while explaining in the carriage, regardless of whether they could understand it or not.

From the carriage, all the way to the locomotive.

But the things at the locomotive were more professional, and they were confused when they heard Yingzheng, so they finally got off together, returned to the edge of the tracks, and briefly introduced what the tracks were.

"This gentleman of the Mo family is saying that this kind of car is not slower than a horse?" Yao Jia asked.

"Exactly! Horses can't run day and night, but trains can. ”

Ling Zhizuo responded: "Please Your Majesty and you get on the train again, we can let Your Majesty experience what it is like to run a train." ”

Ying Zheng turned around and asked, "Wu Anjun, is it okay?" ”

"Yes, it's safe!"

Bai Zhong nodded and said, "You can also bring soldiers on the train, even if there are more people, the train can be pulled." ”

Ying Zheng said: "Then give it a try!" ”

"Your Majesty and Ladies and Gentlemen, please come to the car!"

Ling Zhi made a gesture of please.

Because it was necessary to let Ying Zheng test the train, they set up a special carriage next to the locomotive, which was specially used by Ying Zheng and others, and the other soldiers sat in the back carriage, but all 100,000 people went up, and they definitely couldn't finish sitting, just some people.

"Your Majesty, you're ready." Xin Sheng walked into the carriage road.

The leader of this tour is him.

Ying Zheng said: "Wu Anjun, you can start." ”

"Let's get started!"

Bai Zhong glanced at Ling Zhi.

Ling Zhi passed on the order again, and there was a vibration from the locomotive first, which startled them and hurriedly looked out.

Considering that they wanted to observe how the train moved, Bai Zhong also made an observation window near this carriage and sealed it with glass, through the glass, they could see a black smoke rushing into the sky, and the locomotive drove the carriage to vibrate for a moment, and it really ran.

"Moving...... It's moving! ”

Xia Wuhe, the imperial physician who followed, first said in surprise when he saw this scene.

Then they felt that they were really moving.

The scenery around him quickly retreated to both sides.

The speed of this car is really not slow, it is much faster than the war horse, and it rumbles forward along the track.

Although the noise is a little louder and a little vibrating, you will have a similar feeling when you ride in a carriage, mainly because the speed of this thing is fast, and you don't need to stop and rest after running for a while like a war horse.

According to Ling Zhi's description just now, as long as enough coal is prepared, the train can travel day and night until any place where the rails can reach.

That's a good thing!

Ying Zheng looked at the locomotive in front of him, as well as the regressing scenery on both sides, and was amazed.

"The Mojia machine technique is unparalleled in the world." He exclaimed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation."

Bai Zhong and Ling Zhi said at the same time.

Ying Zheng said again: "If we can have a large number of such trains in Daqin, if I want to go on patrol, even if we go to the Baiyue region, it can be very easy." ”

Hearing this, everyone showed a look of approval.

The train is not only used to rush the road, but also has a lot of wonderful uses, such as transporting grain to Guanzhong, or when fighting, transporting troops and food, and transporting other goods, which is a great convenience and can change Daqin.

It looks bulky, but it's incredibly useful.

Especially for ancient times, the traffic conditions were extremely inconvenient.

Li Si said: "With this train, the whole world can go, but the rails outside the train are not so easy to lay." ”

This remark was echoed by everyone.

The rails are all iron, and it is really not easy to lay them down, which is extremely expensive.

It was at this time that the train began to go uphill.

The track has finally come to an end.

As the locomotive vibrated for a while, there was a rather harsh braking sound, and the train finally stopped.

Ying Zheng and the others got out of the car and looked behind, the long track, so soon finished, it still looked very unreal.

"May I ask Wu Anjun, how long is this track?"

Wei Yu couldn't help but ask.

Bai Zhong said: "About twenty miles! ”

Twenty miles!

So long-term?

Twenty miles away, can you walk so quickly?

The crowd didn't seem to believe it.

Bai Zhong smiled: "If you don't believe it, you can send someone to measure it." ”

Wei Yi laughed and said, "I believe it, but Wu Anjun brought us here not just to take a look at the train, right?" ”

He understands Bai Zhong's thoughts.

Bai Zhong said frankly: "Guowei is right, I ask Your Majesty and you to come here, not only to see the train, but I also want to get Your Majesty's permission and support to build this kind of track in the world, make trains, the first railway I want to make is to the Western Regions, direct to the West." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

He has coveted the West for a long time, but he is not yet capable of defeating the West.

Even if it is laid, the distance is so far away, and governance is a difficult problem, if the railroad track is built all the way to the west, won't they fight as they want, fight as they want, and govern as they want?

Not only in the West, but also in the world.

The world belongs to Qin, and the territory is vast.

Many local officials' concerts, taxes and other things have to be sent from the local area to Xianyang, which can be reached within half a month, and a month or two away, or even half a year, if there are rails and trains, it can provide great convenience!

The more Ying Zheng thought about this, the more excited he became, and was about to say that the train was feasible when a voice directly interrupted his thoughts.
