Bright sunlight shone into the spacious study, and Yang Chengying sat at the rectangular table, carefully comparing the letters on the table and the road map of the railway.

The road map laid out on the table was drawn by the survey team after on-site investigation.

Starting from Shenyang, it goes to Gaizhou in the south, Fushun in the east, Kaiyuan in the north, and Chaoyang County in the west.

In this way, the coal of Fushun, the iron of Anshan, and the fierce mine of Chaoyang can be connected one by one through the railway.

The sum of the four railways is not long, and it is a small test.

The survey team has been dispatched, and Yang Chengying has determined where the survey team has arrived according to the letter.

At this time, Bai Guangen walked in:

"King, Inspector Hong didn't get up, and his subordinates didn't continue to bother, so he came back first."

He was ordered by Yang Chengying to invite Hong Chengchou to discuss major matters.

Unexpectedly, Hong Chengchou was choked by bumps yesterday, and he didn't get up at three poles in the morning.

Yang Chengying smiled: "Let him sleep, it was like that yesterday, and it's normal if you don't get up." ”

Bai Guangen also laughed when he heard this: "Inspector Hong vomited on the ground yesterday, and he was carried back by someone when he went back. ”

"You still laugh at him, your first time on the train, it's not much like him."

Yang Chengying joked with a smile.

"Don't mention it." Bai Guangen blushed.

It's normal to can't stand the bumps, and Yang Chengying couldn't stand it at first.

There is no other reason, there is no better shock absorption system.

It's not that Yang Chengying doesn't want to improve, but because of the process technology, it can't meet the shock absorption requirements of modern vehicles.

Yang Chengying also wanted to improve the design of the kind of train in the late nineteenth century.

The drawings are all designed.

When he really did it, Yang Chengying realized that the simpler the better.

The simple structure has strong stability and is conducive to maintenance at the same time.

After all, he couldn't stay on the railroad line all the time.

So, modeled after Stephenson's steam locomotive, a locomotive with similar appearance and better performance was designed.

The specific speed will be known when the railway is successfully built.

"King, this train you made doesn't feel much faster than a horse."

Bai Guangen was puzzled: "How do you spend money on this?" ”

In his opinion, hundreds of thousands of silver smashed on the railroad did not seem worth it.

Yang Chengying is not surprised.

This was the opinion of the people of the time.

The construction of Britain's first railroad was successful, causing great controversy.

In order to calm the discussion, this is the rocket locomotive.

"The test section is only two miles, and the round-trip is only four miles, so naturally I can't see it."

Yang Chengying said: "When the railway is completed, you will know how fast he is." My preliminary estimate is that this train can travel 100 miles in half an hour. ”

Bai Guangen was speechless.

From the Shenyang East Railway Station designed by Yang Chengying, to the Fushun South Railway Station of the Fushun Coal Mine, the total length is about 80 miles.

Half an hour is coming.

"Really...... Are you sure? Bai Guangen couldn't believe it.

"What are you lying to. Let me tell you, if all goes well, this car can pull thirty-four carriages. Loaded with 50,000 kilograms of coal, more than 400 people. ”

Yang Chengying This is a conservative estimate.

Because the loading capacity of the first rocket locomotive is the same as what he just said.

And his steam locomotive, in design, was significantly superior to the first Rocket locomotive.

However, this is scary enough for Bai Guangen.

"King, can I be the first to take the train?"

Bai Guangen couldn't wait to sit on it.

"The first time I run, I'll drive the improved train myself."

Yang Chengying said: "As my guard, of course you can sit on it." ”

Bai Guangen was overjoyed.

At this time, a guard came to report: "King, Azig asks to see you." ”

"Let him in." Yang Chengying nodded.

As soon as the guards went out, Azig came in.

He said, "My lord, I heard that you sat on a 'monster' yesterday. ”

"What 'monster'? That's a steam train! ”

Yang Chengying sneered.

"Whatever it is, I want to go up and sit down, but I can."

Azig's eyes lit up.

"Not for now. The train has returned to the factory for inspection and repair. I also want to further improve the train, and I will use it after the railway is built. ”

"Ahh In other words, I can't sit still for the time being! ”

"It's a drop."

"Oh, your lord, you are eccentric. My brother sat down, the craftsmen sat too, but we soldiers with our heads pinned to the waistbands of our trousers didn't sit down. ”

Azig sat down on the chair at the table and sulked.

Bai Guangen looked sideways.

In his opinion, Azig is not small, and he is not big or small in the face of the enemies who destroy the country.

Yang Chengying laughed: "Dolgon is a scholar of the Political Academy, and the first ride of the official means that the train is safe, this is my rule."

The craftsmen have worked hard, and it is only natural to take a second trip. ”

Azig wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yang Chengying raising his hand.

Yang Chengying said: "When the railway in Fushun is opened, I will personally drive the train, take the main officials and generals, and run a complete circle." ”

"So, I have a chance." Azig came to spirit again.

"Of course."

Yang Chengying thought for a moment and said, "For the sake of your diligence in training and Dolgon's hard work, call Duoduo." ”

Azig stood up: "King, have you agreed to release Duoduo?" ”

"No, we'll have to wait and see for a while." Yang Chengying said.

"That's fine. My younger brother has been spoiled since he was a child, so it's okay to be cautious. ”

Azig clenched his fists and said goodbye to Yang Chengying.

When he walked away, Bai Guangen said: "King, you are really magnanimous, and you tolerate Azig in front of you, no big or small. ”

"Azig is a soldier who is just rude."

Yang Chengying didn't care: "As for some shortcomings, it's not worth mentioning." ”

Bai Guangen nodded in agreement.

"By the way, how is the cavalry guard team I asked Li Dingguo to train?"

Yang Chengying suddenly asked: "I've been busy with the railway these days, so I haven't asked." ”

After returning to Bac Ninh from Jining, Yang Chengying selected 160 people from the peasant army that surrendered to Li Guoying and formed a team.

Li Dingguo served as the captain.

This team is called the Welcome Team.

Accompanied by a military band, it is used to welcome foreign VIPs.

It is also used for major events, such as the funeral of important people, to show the highest etiquette.

Bai Guangen replied: "He is training hard and will see results soon." ”

"That's fine. Tell Li Dingguo that they will be needed in a few days. ”

"Yes, my subordinate will tell him."

"You don't have to go, you tell Wang Fuchen and let him go. You go and see if Inspector Hong is up. ”

"Yes." Bai Guangen clenched his fists and retreated.

Yang Chengying sat down and continued to look at the road map of the survey.

For the construction of the railway, Yang Chengying was planned.

First build the section from Shenyang to Fushun, then build Shenyang to Chaoyang, repair Shenyang to Gaizhou, and Shenyang to Kaiyuan.

Shenyang to Fushun is only 40 kilometers, which is very suitable for practice.

Repair Shenyang to Gaizhou to ensure that grain from the south is transported to the north.

Repair Shenyang to Kaiyuan to provide protection for immigrants.

And the repair of Shenyang to Chaoyang County, the significance of which is needless to say.
