Chapter 742: Monster!
Since ancient times, gravediggers have also been burial companions.
So, this kind of thing can't be rushed.
However, that doesn't mean you don't do anything.
Yang Chengying was at the banquet and tried to win over Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou is an ambitious, or ambitious person.
He quickly understood Yang Chengying's intentions and responded positively.
Early the next morning, Yang Chengying invited Hong Chengchou to the eastern suburbs of Shenyang.
Hong Chengchou thought that he was inviting him to inspect the army, so he deliberately wore a military uniform.
When he saw Yang Chengying, he was shocked by Yang Chengying's dress.
Yang Chengying was wearing a hat he had never seen before, round with a brim.
Probably a new helmet, right? Hong Chengchou guessed.
I can't read it at all.
The clothes were navy blue, fastened with several buttons on the chest, and the sleeves were also tightened.
The lower body is a pair of long pants, the same color as the clothes, which look very thick.
Under the feet are deep leather boots.
There is no decoration on the whole body.
"King Zhou, you ......" Hong Chengchou was dumbfounded.
"It's work clothes, and I wear it when I'm working."
Yang Chengying said with a smile, "I took the superintendent to a place today, which is very dangerous. ”
As he spoke, he ordered the garments to be brought in trays.
Hong Chengchou took a look and found that it was the same as Yang Chengying's body.
Zuo Guangxian and Ma Ke looked at each other.
For the sake of Yang Chengying's face, they had to reluctantly go to the room to change it.
With this, Hong Chengchou found it much easier.
But as an overseer, his status is transcendent, and he suddenly loses those decorations and cannot show his majesty.
He came out awkwardly: "King Zhou, do you usually wear like this?" ”
"Not exactly. It's only when I go to that place that I dress like this. ”
Yang Chengying saw Hong Chengchou's face full of discomfort, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help it.
"Where the hell is it?" Hong Chengchou asked.
"You'll know when you go." Yang Chengying said, "For the sake of that place, I have been going there almost every day since the situation has stabilized. ”
"Oh?" Hong Chengchou will be skeptical.
Seeing that Zuo Guangxian and Ma Ke had also come out, Yang Cheng gave an order:
Let's go!
They rode out from the east gate, rode for a while, and arrived.
This mysterious place was enclosed by Yang Cheng's application wall and guarded by soldiers.
It's hard for outsiders to get a glimpse of what's inside.
When they arrived, Bolo, who had been guarding the place, came out to meet them:
"King, Master Hong."
"How's it going?" Yang Chengying asked?
"Everything is ready, just wait for the king to arrive."
Bolo replied with a fist clenched.
Yang Chengying nodded and walked into the door with Hong Chengchou.
Upon entering, he was greeted by a spacious field. Horse-drawn carriages can be seen everywhere in the field, and they are full of strange things.
Walking a little further, I saw many people who were dressed similarly to Yang Chengying, but there were some dirty people waiting for them.
"King!" They clenched their fists.
"Okay, what about Mr. Song?" Yang Chengying nodded and looked around.
"Mr. Song is in the car and hasn't come out yet."
Someone answered.
"Who is Mr. Song?" Hong Chengchou asked.
"He was born in a good family and is well-known in the local area."
After Yang Chengying finished answering, he said, "It seems that Xu Lao also didn't come out of the car." ”
Who is Xu Lao, Hong Chengchou knows - Xu Guangqi, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
After waiting for a while, Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing still didn't appear, so Yang Chengying had no choice but to say:
"Let's go, let's go find them in the car."
"Where to go?"
"You'll know when you arrive."
Yang Chengying strode forward, and people automatically got out of the way.
Hong Chengchou followed closely, and what caught his eye was something he had never seen before.
A "monster" was placed on the ground.
The most striking thing about this monster is the large pipe that stands up in the front.
No, there was something on the ground that I had never seen before, and it seemed to be iron.
"It's called rails, and it's a necessary thing for trains to run."
Yang Chengying watched Hong Chengchou staring at the railroad tracks and explained.
It's complicated to talk about in detail, Yang Chengying won't make the same mistake as last time.
"What is a train?" Hong Chengchou asked hurriedly.
"It's a coal-burning car, so it's called a train."
Yang Chengying said: "This is the same as a carriage. ”
The two of them said, coming to the "front end of the monster".
Looking up, I saw Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing standing on it with excited faces.
"This is the front of the car." Yang Cheng responded, "You can pull goods or carry passengers in the back." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the back, a carriage propped up on four wheels.
The carriage was boxy, still open, and looked so shabby.
Hong Chengchou looked east and west, and everything felt novel.
"Two," Yang Chengying shouted at the front of the car, "can you get down, don't affect my operation of this car." ”
"It's down." Song Yingxing was reluctant and was the first to jump down.
He helped Xu Guangqi down.
Yang Chengying said: "Although this car has been experimented, it has been relatively reliable. However, for the sake of safety, Xu Lao should not sit in the back. ”
"No! I'm a lot older, and it's the first time I've sat on this thing, and if you don't let me sit on it, I won't let you drive. ”
Xu Guangqi was about to climb into the car again.
Yang Chengying had no choice, so he hurriedly pulled him back: "Can your old body and bones withstand it, let's let other young people sit." ”
Xu Guangqi twisted his head and didn't listen at all.
Yang Chengying was helpless, so he had to say, "Then please go and sit in the back." ”
Xu Guangqi went to the carriage happily.
Yang Chengying hurriedly asked Cao Bianjiao to follow him and helped him into the car.
Needless to say, Song Yingxing has already gone obediently.
"Inspector, you also go to the back with Mr. Song and sit down." Yang Chengying said.
"Okay." Hong Chengchou thought to himself, Yang Chengying could sit in front, and he had nothing to fear.
In addition to him, a number of officials sat in the back carriage one after another.
There were two small cars in total, both of which were full.
More people looked at the sides of the tracks, and if they weren't guarded by soldiers, they had to rush to the road.
Yang Chengying got into the front of the car.
Because the preheating was done in advance, there was no need to wait, and the coal was added directly to the combustion chamber.
When the temperature was about the same, Yang Cheng moved the brake lever.
The large chimney in front of the car was steaming, and the steam drove the crankshaft, which drove the wheels.
In the midst of everyone's exclamations, the "monster" started.
The monster in Hong Chengchou's eyes is the first generation of steam locomotives - Rocket.
The wheelhouse of the Rocket was open and small.
One person can complete both driving and refueling tasks.
Novelty has a process from simple to complex, and this is especially true of steam locomotives.
Although the initial speed was not fast, it amazed everyone present.
It's just that since this is an experimental model, the railway mileage is not long.
There is also a shock absorbing device that is about equal to nothing, which bumps the people in the car enough.
When the car came back, the people in the car almost vomited when they got out of the car.
Hong Chengchou vomited so much that he almost fell to the ground.
Yang Chengying didn't care, and smiled and beckoned the craftsmen to get on the car.
Artisans are scrambling.
Yang Chengying tirelessly pulled cart after cart.
It's a reward for the craftsmen.
