If the number of trains is not increased as soon as possible, goods from other counties and cities will not be able to be transported to Fengyang, and Fengyang's specialties will not be able to be shipped to other places, which will undoubtedly hinder the prosperity of commerce.

Chu Ze pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, we must increase the number of trains as soon as possible to meet the growing transportation demand. ”

Chu Ze thought to himself that the top priority at the moment is to quickly solve the problem of insufficient transportation capacity and ensure the smooth transportation of goods.

Only by increasing the number of trains can we avoid the recurrence of the backlog of goods and promote the development of trade exchanges in various parts of Fengyang.

"Yes! Yes, sir! The officials said in unison.

All the officials understood that the prince's decision was very wise, and it was imperative to increase the number of trains.

They must execute quickly, racing against time to build a train to solve the current problem.

"You go and talk to the craftsmen and aim to build a new train within a month." Chu Ze continued.

"Obey the king's orders!" The crowd got up and prepared to leave.

The officials secretly calculated in their hearts that the month was very tight, and they must immediately start to prepare, discuss the construction of the train with the craftsmen in detail, and strive to complete the task as soon as possible.

At this time, Zhao Si whispered on the side: "Lord Wang is wise, your thinking is always ahead of the times!" This spirit of 'adapting to the situation and continuous innovation' is admirable! ”

Zhao Si admired Chu Ze's foresight in his heart.

Wang Ye grasped the key to the problem, not only focusing on the present, but also considering long-term development, this kind of thinking that keeps pace with the times is awe-inspiring.

Chu Ze smiled slightly and said, "You're right, Zhao Si." We can't be satisfied with this, it is not enough to build a railway, but also to improve the relevant supporting facilities, so that it can really play its role. Building roads and paving roads is only the first step, and then we must continue to forge ahead and keep pace with the times in order to promote better social development. ”

Chu Ze knew in his heart that simply increasing the number of trains was only an emergency measure, and to fundamentally solve the problem, it was necessary to further improve the railway system.

It is necessary not only to build more railway stations, but also to train more talents to operate trains, establish a freight management system, and so on.

Only by supplementing the relevant supporting facilities in an all-round way can railway transportation run normally and orderly.

Zhao Si nodded again and again: "Exactly!" Your far-sighted, forward-looking style of keeping pace with the times, will surely lead the people of Daming to create a peaceful and prosperous world! ”

Zhao Si sincerely admired Chu Ze's foresight, not only seeing the present, but also focusing on the future, this kind of mind is convincing.

With a wise prince like Chu Ze in charge, he will definitely lead Fengyang into a new era of prosperity and strength.

Chu Ze couldn't help but think that in order to keep Fengyang's development up to date, he would have to do more work in the future.

It is necessary not only to increase the number of trains, but also to train various craftsmen, build more factories and mines, improve farming methods, and so on.

As a far-sighted ruler, he had to consider all aspects to make Fengyang's development comprehensive and balanced.

Chu Ze secretly thought to himself: building roads and paving roads is just the beginning, and more measures need to be taken to make Fengyang's economy, politics and culture take off in an all-round way.

As a prince, I have an unshirkable responsibility, I must study hard, recruit wisdom, keep pace with the times, continue to reform and innovate, and lead Fengyang to a brighter future.

Chu Ze held a vision for a bright future in Fengyang, and a strong sense of responsibility and mission surged in his heart.

He should listen to the voices of the people, understand the people's feelings, understand the people's weal and woe, put the people first, enjoy with the people, and advance together with the people.

With the support of the people, Dafengyang will surely prosper and move towards a better tomorrow!

A week later, craftsmen and officials met to discuss plans for the new train.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our mission this time is to build a new, bigger and stronger train to meet the growing demand for capacity." Chu Ze said straight to the point: "Please carefully check the structure diagram of the original locomotive first, and everyone brainstorms and proposes improvement plans." ”

Everyone came forward and carefully studied the structure on the drawings.

The steam engine on the head, driving the wheels and the transmission rod...... These original structures are already well understood.

"Hmm...... I think the original locomotive power can be strengthened, and if the steam engine is changed to a higher horsepower, it should be able to make the locomotive have more traction. Blacksmith Li Dabin proposed.

"Yes, that's a good idea." Chu Ze nodded approvingly and said, "Li Dabin, you have to calculate in detail how much power you need to use a steam engine to get the ideal traction." ”

"Yes! I'm going to make an estimate. Li Dabin hurriedly responded.

Li Dabin thought to himself, I must accurately calculate the ideal power required for the steam engine, which is related to the overall power of the new locomotive.

This is a top priority, and it must be carefully thought out without any mistakes.

"In addition, I think the transmission here needs to be redesigned, and it should be more durable and stable to adapt to the increase in the power of the steam engine." Another craftsman, Zhao Er, interjected.

"Good! This is also the key. Chu Ze signaled again: "Zhao Er, you are responsible for redesigning the transmission system to ensure that its life and bearing capacity meet the requirements." ”

"Yes! I will do my best to design the most robust transmission possible! Zhao Er said solemnly.

Zhao Er thought to himself that the transmission system directly affects the efficiency of power transmission from the steam engine to the wheels.

It had to be redesigned to accommodate more power, and it had to be strong enough, which is a tough nut!

But in order to complete the task assigned by the prince, I will definitely go all out to design an unimaginable transmission device!

"Hmm...... The hinges at the junction of this carriage also need to be reconsidered. Li Si, an official of the Ministry of Industry, said: "The connection method is stronger than the original, which can increase the number of train sections and expand the capacity." ”

"Exactly! Increasing the number of train sections can greatly increase cargo volume, which is a very good reminder. Chu Ze smiled and praised: "Li Si, I want to discuss with the craftsmen the design plan to strengthen the hinge connection." ”

"Do as told! I will brainstorm with all kinds of skilled craftsmen to design a strong car connection device that is beyond imagination! Li Si replied solemnly.

Li Si thought to himself that if the connection of this carriage could be greatly enhanced, the train would be able to add more carriages and expand the freight volume.

It's about the capacity of the whole train, and I have to work with the craftsmen to find a way to make it as strong as possible.

It's going to be a daunting task, but I'm going to do my best to live up to expectations!

"Good! Many constructive comments were made. Chu Ze said with a smile: "You must make full use of your wisdom and fully cooperate according to your respective expertise to design a better new train as soon as possible." I believe that with everyone's brainstorming, the capacity and safety of the new train will be greatly improved! ”
