In two days, the escort army of more than 30,000 people had all passed through the Xijiang Tunnel and was heading to the camp in Zhennan City, and then Ding Kui ordered the follow-up troops to take rocket cars through the tunnel to speed up the march.

The 75th Division entered Shuiyan Town Station, "Ding Cai listened to the order. Fan Yuzhen raised her long axe.

"The subordinates are here!" Ding Cai led the horse forward.

"Lead the troops to protect the regimental flag and be the vanguard of the whole army! The glory of the regiment is at stake, and there is no room for error. Fan Yuzhen pointed at the rocket car.

They were the vanguard of the Eighth Army Corps, and they were also the first troops in history to ride rocket cars through tunnels, and they inevitably had to be reviewed by high-level personnel.

"Order!" Ding Cai retreated back to the queue with a bitter face, and then ordered to board the car.

Opening the way for a large army and placing it on the front line is a sought-after job, but the vanguard of the march in the rear is the logistics unit, which will be converted into a rear guard unit before the battlefield.

Moreover, no one can guarantee that there is nothing wrong with the rocket car this time, and if it is not done well, it will be embarrassed in front of the leader, and the risk of taking the blame is extremely high.

But Ding Cai didn't dare to disobey the military order, most of the people behind it were Ding Kui's meaning, and there were more foxes and fake tigers on weekdays, so it was time to share the worries of the master.

His men climbed into the brand-new rocket car in turn, sat in their predetermined positions, and tied themselves up.

Due to the high initial speed and a bit of inertia, this group of trained soldiers also had to take safety measures in case of accidents.

Ding Cai came to the front of the car and tied himself up, in addition to looking at the military flag, there was also a brake next to it, which was a brake brake, which was used to stop after arriving at the opposite side of the tunnel.

He is familiar with the rail car, and it is not unreasonable for the above to arrange him to take the lead gun, which can reduce the chance of accidents.

Although the rocket car has been tested many times, Kuai Lian still came to start the first official opening of the car in person.

Seeing a sword light flying from the front of the car on the platform, Kuai Lian took a breath and raised his hand to point to the rear of the car.

There are three cylinders protruding from the rear of the car, each pillar is about the thickness of the bowl mouth, and it is about two meters long when it is exposed, and I don't know how many are embedded in the rear of the car.

Suddenly, three flames appeared at the end of the cylinder at the same time, and the cylinder made of something suddenly erupted into flames, propelling the rocket car towards the direction of the tunnel......

Ding Cai only felt as if he had been hit by a charging cavalry brigade, and the scene outside the front of the car in front of him quickly retreated, and the entire column of rocket cars shot out like a giant crossbow.

The speed is getting higher and higher, and the thrust of his back is also increasing, and his body is raised with Douqi armor to reduce the impact of external forces.

Fortunately, the thrust of the rocket gradually increased with the combustion, and the maximum kinetic energy was not reached all at once, otherwise the average soldier would really not be able to withstand the pressure.

Ding Cai is a fearless knight, and the pressure on his body was immediately relieved as soon as the Douqi armor was opened, but his eyes were sour when the scenery in front of him was moving fast.

After a while, the rocket car drove into a black hole, which was the benchmark for all future river crossing projects, the Xijiang Tunnel.

In this world, electricity has not yet been used, and it is impossible to light oil lamps or torches in the tunnel for a long time, so as long as the train does not turn on the lighting, the tunnel will be completely dark.

There is a magic lighting device at the front of the car, which can be illuminated more than ten meters in front of it by removing the baffle, which is barely enough in the strictly controlled Xijiang Tunnel.

The thrust on the back began to weaken, and the speed of the rocket car seemed to have reached its peak, Ding Cai dissipated his fighting armor, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, listened to the sound of the wheels crushing the tracks, and let out a long breath.

"It's not over! The rest is easy to do, even if there is a problem with the rocket, we will get out of the car and push the car to the other side. ”

He knew that rail cars were not 100% safe, and that there were occasional accidents, the most serious of which was overturning, and he had heard several of them when he was in Giant Sheep City.

Qingyang Zi also told him the plan to deal with the accident, especially emphasizing the danger of overturning, the rocket car is too fast, and some small factors can also cause overturning.

Boom, the body of the car suddenly trembled violently, Ding Cai's heart tightened, but after a while, it calmed down.

At this point, the thrust is completely gone, the speed of the car begins to slowly decrease, and the most dangerous moment has passed.

This means that the rocket fuel has run out, and the train then uses inertia to coast until it reaches the station on the south bank of the West River.

To the south of the Xijiang Tunnel is Zhenjiang County, where Jiang Ang, the son of Jiang Qi, the county guard, had a conflict with Ding Fen and was later taught a lesson by Ding Kui, but now Ding Kui seems to have forgotten about it.

In Wutou Town, Yanhui City, Zhenjiang County, a station was built on the flat ground east of the town, and today the station was surrounded by a force, and people who approached it without permission would be arrested immediately.

There is a three-storey building at the station, and on the top floor, Jiang Qi is sitting under the two of them, with a flattering smile on his face, chatting with the two people on the top.

Zhenjiang County is Jiang Qi's territory, and it stands to reason that he is the largest, and the two people who can sit on him are not small.

Sitting on the main seat is an old man with red hair and white beard, wearing a fire dragon robe, even ordinary people in Zhongwangzhou know that this is the county king of Shaodian country, the pastor of a state, the boss of this state, Shaodian Jian.

The next is a young man with a majestic figure, black hair and white face, and a friendly smile, dressed in the armor of a great general, and wearing a double python crown on his head. There is only one such young general in Shaodian, and Ding Kui is also!

No wonder Jiang Qi can only sit at the bottom and smile, if this is not his territory, it is estimated that he is not even qualified to sit with him.

"The first rocket car is almost here, right?" Shao Dianjian came to see the rocket car shuttling through the Xijiang Tunnel.

He was both shocked and very happy that rail cars were gradually rising in Zhongwangzhou, and that all places where there were railways were rapidly becoming rich, and that he was one of the few good news he heard in the war.

This time, the Xijiang Tunnel used rocket vehicles to directly open up the connection between Wangzhou and Zhongwangzhou, completing an unprecedented achievement, and as the head of a state, I naturally wanted to see it with my own eyes.

"Almost, as long as it's safe and smooth, Ben won't mind if they're late. Ding Kui reached out and poured a cup of tea for Shao Dianjian.

Shaodianjian retracted his gaze from the north, picked up the cup, took the opportunity of drinking tea to settle down, and then said: "Although the tea is not as good as the wine, the king will set up a banquet with the general to congratulate him." ”

Jiang Qi knew that the banquet of the state pastor had nothing to do with him, so he had to laugh dryly.

"Thank you to the king of the county. ”

"Let's talk about the military academy again, what about you, you are from Zhongwangzhou, although the family heirloom title does not have a territory in your hometown, but Zhongwangzhou will always have a place for the Ding family, this time I take the opportunity of building a military academy, how about this king to allocate a piece of land to the Ding family?"

In the current turbulent situation, Shao Dianjian still focused on strengthening the armed forces, and one of the most important plans was to establish a branch of the Juyang Military Academy outside the south of the city.

There are high-ranking people in the palace of Zhongwang County, who not only see that the new weapons produced in Hengfu City are very powerful, but also know the key to using the new weapons - studying in the military academy.

It's just that Zhennan City is too far away from Juyang City, and the far water can't quench the thirst of the near, so some masters suggested that Shaodianjian simply establish a military academy branch in Zhennan City.
