After the completion of the railway station, Chu Ze deliberately chose an auspicious day to prepare for the first public trial run of the first train to show this great invention to the people of Fengyang.

On this day, Chu Ze came to the station excitedly to check whether all the preparations were ready.

"Lao Zhang, are you all ready for the test run of the train?" Chu Ze walked up to an old craftsman with gray hair and asked with concern.

"Back to the prince, I have carefully checked it, the train is properly debugged, and it is ready for trial operation at any time." Lao Zhang replied respectfully.

"Very good, very good!" Chu Ze smiled and patted Lao Zhang's shoulder happily.

He understood that this public trial run was of great significance and had to be foolproof.

"Lao Li, have you posted an announcement to inform the townspeople that they can come to watch the test run of the train today?" Chu Ze asked another craftsman.

"Back to the prince, the announcement was posted in conspicuous places all over the town a few days ago, and I believe that many people will come to watch it today." Lao Li hurriedly returned.

"Haha, good, good!" Chu Ze said with a smile: "This trial run is for the people to see, if the people like this train, then our hard work is not in vain." ”

Soon, the train was also parked on the tracks and ready to leave.

Chu Ze boarded the cockpit and looked around at the empty station, and his heart inexplicably swelled with excitement.

At this moment, he seemed to see that the changes of this era were coming.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, did you see that?" Chu Ze greeted: "Our dream is about to become a reality!" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Lao Zhang was also excited: "We have been waiting for this moment for too long, too long!" ”

Finally, the people of Fengyang who came to watch also came to the station square one after another.

When they saw the new train stopping, they all gasped, and a look of surprise and curiosity appeared on their faces.

"What's this weird thing? Looks like a big iron snake! ”

"It's like a fire dragon, I don't know if I can move?"

"I heard that it can run ten times faster than a horse, is it really fake?"

There was a lot of talk in the crowd, and they were all deeply attracted by this new gadget that had never been seen before.

At this time, Chu Ze stepped up to the podium and announced to everyone: "Dear everyone, welcome to come and watch the first trial run of the new train we have worked so hard to build!" It can run faster than any horse and will revolutionize our travel! ”

The crowd burst into applause and cheers.

"The train is moving! I'm so excited! ”

"Is it really that fast? Fast past the carriage, I must see it! ”

The onlookers were eager to try it, eager to see the legendary "fire dragon".

"Let's count them together and give it the warmest applause!" Chu Ze raised his hand and began to count down: "Three!" Two! One! ”

At the moment when the count of "one" was reached, a loud whistle sounded from the track overhead, and the crowd suddenly erupted in more enthusiastic cheers.

"Babble, it's moving!"

"Look at the smoke, it's moving! It's amazing! ”

The train slowly pulled out of the platform, and thick white smoke billowed upward.

The crowd erupted in cheers and applause, all staring intently at the train.

The train accelerated rapidly, and soon ran wildly along the tracks like a speeding steel dragon.

"Oh my god, it's running so fast!"

"It's faster than ten horses, and I'm so excited about the speed!"

The onlookers were amazed by the speed of the train and let out exclamations and admiration.

"Hahaha, that's the power of trains!" Chu Ze said loudly on the stage: "It will definitely become the most important new means of transportation in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Hooray! Long live Chu Ye! The crowd erupted in even louder cheers and applause.

Chu Ze looked around at the Fengyang townspeople who were eager to visit, and felt very excited from the bottom of his heart.

This is the purpose of his hard work, to make life easier for the people.

"Lao Zhang, we are finally looking forward to this moment!" Chu Ze was excited in his heart.

"Yes, my lord! This is the result of our joint efforts! Lao Zhang's eyes were also red.

He knew that the birth of the first train marked the beginning of a new page in the history of human civilization.

This is just the beginning, the road ahead is far from complete, but they have already taken the most crucial first step!

When the train was tested for the first time, there were several officials sent by Zhu Yuanzhang in the crowd.

They were commissioned to observe the legendary "train" that could run faster than a horse.

When the train slowly drove out of the platform, one of the middle-aged officials said with a look of surprise on his face: "This train can move on its own, and it runs faster than a mule and horse, like a walking iron box!" ”

Another young official also said excitedly: "When I was in the capital, I heard that Zegong had built a new type of transportation, and it turned out that the speed was so fast, it was unbelievable!" ”

"Haha, it's rare for us to have such a forward-looking and creative talent!" The middle-aged official said with a smile: "The birth of this train will greatly shorten the transportation time and be extremely convenient." Lord Chu has made a great contribution this time! ”

"That's right!" The young official chimed in: "Your Majesty has always valued the prince, and he will definitely praise him this time." ”

The two of them looked at the speeding train, and they were sincerely happy for Chu Ze.

It turned out that before the opening of the railway station, Chu Ze sent someone to send a message to Zhu Yuanzhang to report the good news that this new means of transportation was about to be launched.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately sent these two officials to Fengyang to observe the first trial run of the train.

Now, seeing the speed and power of the train, both of them were impressed by Chu Ze.

"Unexpectedly, we have such a highly accomplished talent hidden in Daming!" The middle-aged official sighed: "His vision and talent are absolutely rare in the world. ”

"Yes, the birth of the train will greatly promote China's transportation industry, but also the progress of civilization!" The young official couldn't contain the excitement in his heart.

The two turned their heads to look at Chu Ze not far away, only to see him with a proud smile.

Chu Ze also discovered the two of them, and he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang must have sent someone to observe.

Seeing their praise for the train, Chu Ze couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

"Lao Zhang, our hard work has not been in vain! This new train amazed the envoys of the imperial court! Chu Ze said excitedly to the old craftsman beside him.

"Haha, when Your Majesty finds out, he will definitely praise you greatly!" Lao Zhang also said with a smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and both saw the glint of ecstasy in each other's eyes.

The birth of the first train not only heralded the coming of a new era, but also allowed Chu Ze to see a respected future.

This is just the beginning, Chu Ze thought firmly in his heart. (End of chapter)
