Chapter 576

"Besides, besides, besides, ·····"

As puffs of white smoke puffed out, the steam engine began to pull its head, and the locomotive moved slowly down the tracks.

After Qin Xi came out of the steam engine, he drew the general appearance of the locomotive and the railroad tracks, and handed over the weapons to the military department and the old Mo family for study.

After all, Qin Xi didn't have much talent in this area, and he might not be able to do it, so Qin Xi didn't participate after that.

After the continuous attempts of the Ministry of Industry and the Mo family, the locomotive was finally made, and as for the rails, it was too simple.

"Run! It's really running! That's great! ”

The people on the side jumped for joy, and even left tears in their eyes, and they made history together.

There were three people in the car, one driving and two coaling. Maintain the power of the train.

"Add coal, increase the speed and see."

"Good!"

As shovels of coal were added, the power of the steam engine became stronger and stronger, and the train began to slowly get faster.

As the locomotive gets faster and faster, the driver keeps looking at the pressure gauge.

The driver saw that the pressure gauge was about to reach the dangerous stage, and hurriedly said: "Stop refueling!" ”

As the furnace was turned off, the driver pulled the lever at his feet, and the excess pressure in the steam engine was immediately released.

Even so, the speed of the train did not slow down much.

The person who added coal said, "If you release the pressure of the boiler and add coal at the same time, will it be faster?" ”

"It should be, but it can't be accelerated, it's at a very fast speed

Limit, when turning, the body of the car has been slightly tilted, even if we have made a slope in the corner according to His Highness, there is no way to offset it. ”

"Try the brakes."

"Okay."

The driver slowly pulled the brake lever, and suddenly the train began to slow down slowly.

Eventually, after a long time of painting, the train stopped.

As soon as the locomotive heard this, everyone immediately gathered around and checked the locomotive.

After confirming that there was no problem with the locomotive, it was time to add a carriage to the test.

The test lasted five hours, and it was nightfall before the test ended.

And the Ministry of Industry also dared to report to the emperor and asked the emperor to come and watch the results in person.

So after nightfall, the First Emperor also received an urgent performance from the Ministry of Works.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry is in a hurry!" The eunuch said, holding up a piece of music.

At this time, the First Emperor was about to rest, turned his head to look at the eunuch, and asked, "What happened to the Ministry of Industry?" The Ministry of Industry even has a rush. ”

"Your Majesty, it was sent by the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, saying that there is a happy event that needs to be reported to Your Majesty urgently." The eunuch bowed his head and said.

The First Emperor picked up the piece and opened it for a while, then smiled as well.

"Stand down."

The First Emperor sat down again and seriously approved the Zhou Zhang.

The First Emperor didn't know what a train looked like, but he had heard Qin Xi say that it was a tool that was extremely beneficial to Great Qin, far better than a carriage.

The large horse-drawn carriage that Qin Xi made before had greatly improved Great Qin's material transportation capacity, and now this train is even more powerful than the carriage, the First Emperor didn't believe it at first, but he didn't expect it to be made

。

After the night passed, the First Emperor summoned the ministers of the court early in the morning and went to the research institute outside the city.

In Xianyang City, dozens of carriages were heading out of the carriage back and forth.

After arriving at the place, Li Si just stepped out of the carriage and saw Yao Jia.

Yao Jia also saw Li Si, and after looking at the colleagues around him, he walked towards Li Si.

"Prime Minister, why did Your Majesty summon me to wait?" Yao Jia asked.

"I don't know about this, I only received news from His Majesty this morning."

"Even the Prime Minister doesn't know, it seems that no one knows." Yao Jia said with a smile.

Li Si looked at the door of the research institute and said, "Okay, you don't have to measure it, the reason should be in it, go in and have a look." ”

"Prime Minister, please."

"Please."

After Li Si and Yao Jia took the lead in entering, the other officials followed one after another.

After entering, everyone found out that there was not only a forbidden army outside the research institute, but also a forbidden army inside.

"It seems that Your Majesty has arrived in advance, and this is not a trivial matter." Lees said.

Yao Jia nodded, arched his hand and said, "If something happens later, please ask the Prime Minister to mention it." ”

"Help each other, help each other." Lees said.

A commander of the forbidden army suddenly stopped in front of him, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please follow the end of the future." ”

Li Si and Yao Jia glanced at each other and followed with hundreds of officials.

Everyone entered a factory building, and there were many large iron boxes in the factory, and there was a strong smell of metal.

After passing through the factory, the group came to a stand and saw the First Emperor.

"See His Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty for ten thousand years!

Great Qin 10,000 years! The hundred officials shouted in unison.

"Alright, let's come and watch more." The First Emperor sat there and said without looking back.

At this time, the boiler of the locomotive below was already burning, and behind the locomotive hung seven or eight carriages, in which tons of sand were placed from generation to generation.

Wei Ze, the squire of the Ministry of Works, stood beside the First Emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the sand and soil in the carriage add up to 10,000 catties, and if it is replaced with grain and grass, it can be loaded into three carriages." ”

At this moment, a man standing next to the train turned and raised his arms high towards the side of the stands.

Wei Ze arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the train can depart, please give your Majesty's order." ”

"Let's go." The First Emperor stared intently at the train and said.

"No!"

Wei Ze straightened up and raised his arm.

"Let's go!"

At the sound of an order, the train made a sound and began to move slowly.

As the train started, the emperor and the hundred officials all stood up in unison, and the shock on their faces could not be hidden at all.

The speed of the train is getting faster and faster, and the speed soon exceeds the speed of the horse-drawn carriage.

Wei Ze said beside the First Emperor: "Your Majesty, because this test section is short, you need to reduce the speed when turning, so at present, you can only reach this speed at the fastest, but if the route is long enough, there are fewer curves or the curves are larger, it can be faster." ”

The First Emperor just stared at the train, and he didn't know if he heard Wei Ze's voice.

The First Emperor suddenly asked, "In addition to pulling goods, this train should also be able to pull people." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, we make carriages that pull people, and they can be changed at any time." Wei Ze said.

"Then put it on, I

Do it yourself. The First Emperor said excitedly.

"No!"

Wei Ze hurriedly went down to stop the train, and then drove the train into the factory and changed the carriage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to try this train with me?" The First Emperor said to the hundred officials.

"Some grace on your Majesty." Naturally, the hundred officials can't refuse, and who can?
