Chapter 574: Invincible in the World
"Your Majesty, please look at ......"
Zhu Gaoyao deliberately chose a sunny and warm noon day to lead the civil and military officials to the important place of the Ministry of Industry.
Because the later maintenance and maintenance of the train required personnel from the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Gaojiao asked people to set up a station of the train within the Ministry of Industry.
And this house is also very peculiar in design, with a ceiling more than two feet high, that is, about six or seven meters high.
Two train tracks side by side, entering through one gate and exiting through the other.
In the middle is a huge black locomotive, and behind the locomotive, there are five train buckets.
In addition to the coal and worker boxes at the front, there are two passenger boxes and two cargo boxes at the back.
Although with the locomotive, there are only six cars, and in modern times, it is even slightly larger than two semi-trailer heavy trucks, but in this era, it is already a behemoth that they have never seen on land!
"Your Majesty, what is this? Why is it so big?"
"Is this the steam engine and train that Your Majesty has been secretly researching by the Ministry of Industry? Sure enough, it's better to see than to hear! ”
"I have long heard that the locomotive made by the Ministry of Industry is extremely strange, and now a celestial person is really better than seeing it!"
Seeing this huge creation, most officials were full of praise and admired the advanced technology of the Ministry of Industry and the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing this train, Zhu Gaoyi nodded with great satisfaction, originally thought that he could only see one locomotive today, but he didn't expect that five carriages had already been built and even hung on it.
Zhang Qixin and Lord Feng were also extremely happy when they saw His Majesty smile with satisfaction.
This is His Majesty's highest recognition of their work!
It seems that their suffering during this period of time has not been in vain, and everything is worth it!
"Okay, good, good, with dead things, I will be like a god after the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the economy, agriculture or military, manufacturing, or other aspects, it will definitely usher in a qualitative leap!"
Such a high-level compliment, which has never been said by any previous emperor!
And today's Your Majesty is a rare Ming monarch, but also a strange person, even he gave such an evaluation, it is enough to see how important this steam engine and locomotive are to the Ming Dynasty.
It seems that the status of the Ministry of Industry is definitely going to rise, and if nothing else, the next general election of cabinet members, the Ministry of Industry will inevitably have many people in office.
This can make the people in the other parts anxious, but there is nothing to be done, who makes them not very angry.
If you look at the bright lights of the Ministry of Human Resources every day, I can't wait to use one day as three days, while other departments just go to work on time and leave work on time every day, and I don't want to do my own business at all, but I can delay and delay.
"Zhang Qixin!"
"Wechen is here!"
Zhang Qixin ran in front of Zhu Gaoyi and knelt down on one knee.
"I set up the Ministry of Industry today, and you, Zhang Qixin, are the Minister of Industry, and the official residence is Sanpin, from today onwards, you will lead the national industry, casting, production and all the Ministry of Industry!"
The Ministry of Industry, which directly replaced the Ministry of Industry?
Zhang Qixin has directly changed from a flat-headed boy to the minister of the Ministry of Industry, this is a carp crossing the dragon gate!
Zhang Qixin also suspected that he had misheard himself, but he was guilty, how could he suddenly become a third-grade official?
"What's the matter, Master Zhang, what are you dissatisfied with?"
"How dare you, how dare you, grass people...... Oh, no, we're thanking the lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”
This is a great creation.
It's just that Lord Feng on the side, his face is a little ugly, he is the original secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the person in charge of the Ministry of Industry, why did he suddenly change hands now.
Yes, Your Majesty is the one who promised me to become the president of the bank, but he is in charge of the whole finances, and even if your Minister of Industry wants to raise funds for research or manufacturing, he needs my consent!
Thinking of this, Lord Feng's heart was much more balanced.
"Okay, don't kneel on the ground, hurry up and introduce this train to me and the other ministers, I didn't look at them, they were all looking curiously, what is this big guy!"
"Weichen Command!"
Zhang Qixin stood up, patted the dust on his knees slightly, and then walked in front of the huge locomotive, held his head high, and proudly introduced it to the people present.
"This train is due to the great design of His Majesty, as well as the efforts of our Ministry of Industry, and the outstanding contributions of ordinary people all over the world, to create this extraordinary steel train!"
"Its total weight has even exceeded 100,000 catties, all of which are cast from forged steel, and the texture is extremely hard, even if it is an ordinary artillery, it will not hurt him in the slightest!"
100,000 catties of steel heard the large cost of this number of people present and all took a breath of cold air, what is this concept, 100,000 catties!
You know, a thin woman is only 100 pounds, which is equivalent to the weight of a thousand people!
"With the increase of cars and so on, its total weight will even exceed one million catties, millions of catties, and even one day in the future, it is possible to get tens of millions of catties!"
Ten million pounds?
I'm afraid this is the first time that the officials present have heard of this level of weight, and even 100,000 gold has only been heard in the myths of legends, and has never been seen in reality, as for tens of millions of catties, even myths and legends have not been recorded, but now they can make it?
"And the steam engine inside it can drive this huge body by burning coal, and it can travel twice as fast as a horse on this railroad track!"
So fast?
Although it sounds like twice as fast as a horse, but think about this huge body, if anyone dares to stop it, won't it be directly crushed to death?
Who doesn't have long eyes and dares to block in front of this behemoth?
If you send supplies and transport troops on this, it will definitely be unstoppable and unstoppable!
"I can't believe it's something that can be made in a month?"
Before, they had always heard that the Ministry of Industry was favored by His Majesty and attached great importance to it, but now that they saw this train, they realized in their hearts that the extreme and envy of the Ministry of Industry before no longer existed at all, and was replaced by heartfelt admiration and sighing!
With this train here, why should they worry?
"We can even carry artillery, bows and arrows, and even spurs on it, as long as the train passes, it is a battlefield, an invincible area!"
It's shocking, it's strong!
I thought that the Ming Dynasty was only strong and prosperous from a number of data, but today, just seeing this train is enough to make all the ministers present say that they are already invincible in the world! (End of chapter)
