Chapter 297 Railways and Locomotives

You see how ...... You see how ......

Liu Xinyu's words kept echoing in the minds of everyone in the land of Danyang, like a magic sound and a sound that urged the soul.

Liu Xinyu's last words were not a tone of discussion. Rather, it is a kind of "questioning". This is more like an 'ultimatum'! It is very tough and domineering, and there is no room for the country of Danyang to choose!

Either accept it or ...... The rest of our five countries have completed internal purification!

Without waiting for Song Qiming to speak, the princes of the other countries said: We agree with Her Majesty's proposal.

In the end, everyone stopped, silently turned their heads to look at Song Qiming, and waited for Song Qiming to speak. But Song Qiming was 'excited' and trembled.

Wang Fei, the prime minister next to him, finally said helplessly: "Thank you, Your Majesty and Your Highnesses for your concern." But this thing ...... I can't make up my mind, so please allow me to wait until I get back to the Emperor before replying. ”

Liu Xinyu nodded very generously: "I'm sorry for making it difficult for you." I just don't want to see my former comrades suffer.

We are also aware of the situation in your country. In this way, for the sake of the six Western countries, I am in charge and will give your country 300,000 Peiyuan Dan and 50,000 Zhuji Dan free of charge, hoping that your country can recover its strength as soon as possible!"

"Ah......" Everyone was stunned by Liu Xinyu's sudden generosity. Your Majesty, what are you playing again? We can't stand it~

And Song Qiming, the crown prince of the country of Danyang, and Wang Fei, the prime minister, looked at Liu Xinyu in a daze, and they were a little stupid for a while.

Liu Xinyu smiled faintly, waved his hand to the side, and immediately someone brought in 15 boxes of big boys

50,000 Tsukidan is a ton of weight. Plus the packaging and so on, a total of five large boxes.

And 300,000 Peiyuan Dan is about three tons in weight. Compared with Zhuji Dan, the packaging of Peiyuan Dan is simple, but 300,000 pieces are still stuffed with ten boxes.

Fifteen boxes were placed in front of everyone, which was still very shocking. Although everyone is a prince, it is the first time to see so many pills when they open their mouths - these pills are enough for half a month for an army of 100,000.

"This ...... This ......" Song Qiming looked at the box in front of him, and was at a loss for a while.

Liu Xinyu smiled faintly, watched quietly, and said nothing. But there is an indescribable domineering spirit that flows from her. She is already an empress, the first empress in the history of the West of the Fertile Earth Continent!

Finally, Wang Fei got up and thanked him.

Liu Xinyu nodded, got up slowly, and walked out as he spoke: "That's all for today's matter, as for the country of Danyang, I'll give you ten days." If you have any difficulties, please feel free to send a request to us and the other five countries, and we will try our best to protect the country of Danyang!"

"I, the Kingdom of Yanyun, support Your Majesty's decision!"

"So do we!"

"We are ...... too"

Everyone expressed their support, but only the representatives of the country of Danyang did not look good. After Liu Xinyu finished speaking, the person also left and went to the study next door. Hu Yinglan came in and invited everyone to leave.

After everyone left, Prime Minister Zhao Duo finally came behind Liu Xinyu and spoke, "Your Majesty, we haven't discussed it before, we want to give Danyang the country elixir." Wouldn't this be ......"

Liu Xinyu waved his hand to stop Zhao Duo from continuing to speak: "I have my own considerations. You go get busy. ”

After everyone left, Liu Xinyu slowly opened his 'diary' and wrote down today's events seriously. There are many reasons why I suddenly want to give Danyang the country of pills:

First of all, if the country of Qixia wants to counterattack and become the 'captain' of the six western countries, it must show its due mind, means, and appropriate wealth.

Also, the country of Qixia said that it would support the country of Danyang, but how to support it? There is a way to say that there is no evidence, so Liu Xinyu needs to express something.

Third, Liu Xinyu also used this means to tell everyone: What I said before is serious, I really want to develop the six Western countries and unite everyone.

There is also a fourth point, fishing, which is one of the most common but effective means in politics, and this also left a foreshadowing for Liu Xinyu to directly intervene in the internal affairs of the country of Danyang in the future, and even send troops. In the future, if the troops are really dispatched, it will not be very abrupt.

In addition, Liu Xinyu concluded that these pills would intensify the contradictions and struggles in the country of Danyang and accelerate the internal turmoil in the country of Danyang. And these pills don't seem to be very expensive for the current Qixia Country.

Finally, there's a little bit of girl's mind! You guys are so good at calculating, but I'm going to have to be a little bit personal!

But on the whole, Liu Xinyu's gift was not a whim, but a deliberate one. It's a cannonball, but it's sugar-coated.

Liu Xinyu admired her diary and closed it with a smile. But in the next moment, his brows furrowed slightly. Although she is an empress, she is also a girl, and she also has a little reverie in her spare time......

............

Liu Xinyu's affairs, Zhang Hao didn't care about it, and now Zhang Hao is preparing to take all the distinguished guests from the East to visit the Zhang family's shipbuilding base according to the plan.

Zhang Hao waited for a day, and early the next morning, representatives of 32 commercial banks arrived.

Not only that, but some rangers who came with the ship also came. Everyone was excited.

But Zhang Hao stood in front of the Zhang family's compound and frowned slightly: "Everyone, I should have said very clearly before, I invited representatives of the firm to visit. Each firm has a maximum of three people, and must be the core personnel of the firm.

The rangers and the others, as well as the rest of the people, can only ask everyone to wait here.

It is related to the secrets of the Zhang family and even the entire country of Qixia, please forgive me for the inconvenience. ”

Some people understand Zhang Hao's words, but some people are dissatisfied. For example, the ranger Leng Feng made a big noise: "Young Master Zhang, you said that you want to open for a visit, so we rushed back overnight." Now you're saying you can't visit again. It's a trick on us!"

As a ranger, everyone speaks more directly and is very polite. This is very different from the gesture of a businessman who tries to be as tactful as possible.

Zhang Hao looked at the cold wind, looked at the many noisy rangers around him, and smiled, "What did I say, I don't need you to remind me." And this is my home, who do I want to visit, it seems that there is no need to consult with you!"

Zhang Hao knows very well that you can't be polite to these guys! Besides, what do you have in mind for such an eager visit!

"You're fooling us!"

"Get out!" Zhang Hao suddenly snorted angrily, "Three numbers, if you don't leave, you'll die!"

Zhang Hao said, slowly raising three fingers, and the guards around Zhang's house suddenly became cold. This cold wind is a master of the Yuan Infant Stage, but the head of the Ming Void Dao is in the Zhang family. and Dugu Junjie's 'guard' Chen Yansong, who is also here.

If I really talk well, it means that I am a bully! As soon as you jump out, I will kill you and hack the monkey!

Leng Feng opened his mouth, finally dropped a sentence and left in a gloomy manner.

Zhang Hao turned his head and showed a bright smile to everyone: "Let's go, it's ready!"

Representatives of 32 commercial firms, a total of more than 80 people, followed Zhang Hao to the shipbuilding base in the rear.

The shipbuilding base is temporarily less than two kilometers from the port, protected by a barrier. This enchantment was arranged by Zhang Hao recently in trouble with Master Mingxu Dao Chang.

Mingxu Dao Chang may not be as good as Liu Dingshan in cultivation, but in terms of formation attainments, he far surpasses Liu Dingshan. The masters of the Holy Land have some level after all. From the outside, the barrier was chaotic, and it was impossible to see anything clearly.

Zhang Hao and the others approached, Feng Zhiling appeared, he opened a door and invited everyone to enter.

As soon as everyone entered the shipbuilding base, they were shocked by the sonorous sound that came to their faces.

For example, Leng Qingsong, the young master of the Seven Star Commercial Bank, was a little stunned when he looked at the picture in front of him.

He saw that in front of him was a huge underground space, and the sea water blocked by the seal in the distance was still rolling. And in this underground space, a massive steel support has begun to take shape.

Different from the construction of wooden ships, the construction of steel warships is to lay the keel and the main ribs first, and only after making sure that there is no problem will the steel plate be installed.

And at this time, the craftsmen are riveting. The arm-thick, red-hot steel rivets were smashed flat by craftsmen with sledgehammers to complete the docking of keels and ribs. The sparks were shining, and the sound of shouting trumpets was powerful and powerful.

At this time, the shipbuilding base has been withdrawn from important items such as machine tools, but there are still vehicles left.

The I-beams that have been drilled are lifted to the required position with the assistance of the crane. Now, the length of the I-beam can reach 9 meters, especially the I-beam as the central keel, which has a width of more than 80 centimeters and a thickness of up to 22 centimeters. The weight of an I-beam can reach more than 30 tons,

The heavy steel was neatly riveted together by the craftsmen.

The steel skeleton being laid is more than 160 meters long and 27 meters wide, and with the experience of the last steel battleship, the craftsmen have made a new breakthrough.

In the shipbuilding base, thousands of people were busy, the sound of forging echoed like thunder, and the sparks that burst out illuminated everyone's eyes.

It was a picture they never dared to imagine.

Battleships made of steel, it turned out to be made this way.

Leng Qingsong looked at it most carefully. He saw that the craftsmen first proofread the round holes in the I-beam, proofread the angles, and even did the proper polishing. Craftsmen carry with them 'magic weapon-level grinding tools' that can easily modify the edges and corners of I-beams.

After the proofreading is completed, a reinforced steel plate is attached to the joint, and then the joint is fixed with steel bars to reinforce the seal, and then the riveting begins.

When it is time to rivet, first rivet the nearest four holes and rivet them diagonally. The four holes are determined, and then the four farthest holes are riveted, and then all the holes in the middle are riveted.

With the help of the cultivators' strong physique, the four craftsmen riveted a pair of I-beams in only half an hour.

Then the upper and lower layers of I-beams will continue to be superimposed, and the middle has been punched. And in the riveting process, the main ribs are also riveted. At the keel and rib link, a triangle steel should be added to estimate it. It's very cumbersome.

But this scene is very shocking.

Zhang Hao didn't speak, just stood quietly to the side, smiling. Anyway, everyone watched it, and they couldn't see any technology. Riveting, driving, etc., although there is a little technical content, but not high.

What is needed for riveting is an excellent craftsman, and what really has technical content is the training of craftsmen.

As for the driving, it doesn't matter, and they can't drive the machine that drives it. And in the world of cultivation, lifting is never a problem. At least for the time being.

As for the smelting of steel, the design of ships and data models, and so on, they can't see it. Of course, seeing such an assignment scene, you will definitely learn a lot.

Zhang Hao brought everyone here to shock everyone, and to make everyone full of confidence in the country of Qixia. Zhang Hao needs to win over some people in order to open up the ocean road to the country of Qixia.

Until the evening, Zhang Hao led everyone away, and observed the whole day.

In fact, everyone didn't want to go, and at this time the keel had been laid, and the steel plate had begun to be installed. Everyone is seafaring, and they are very curious about the sealing of steel battleships. But it's a pity that Zhang Hao started to pick people up.

The sealing of steel warships is a very key technology. Although there are many advantages to building a ship with steel, sealing is the biggest problem!

A huge ship of several thousand tons floating on the surface of the sea will inevitably suffer from thermal expansion and contraction, various stresses, and slight deformation in some parts. And as long as there is a place in the whole ship that is not properly sealed, it may cause a catastrophe.

The sealing technology of the Zhang family's steel battleships was explored little by little by Zhang Hao in combination with the memories of another world and the craftsmanship of this world. This can be regarded as one of the core technologies of steel battleships. This cannot be divulged.

Although everyone was dissatisfied, they also understood, and even were very satisfied and shocked.

Coming to the outside of the enchantment, looking at the sunset, Zhang Hao said loudly: "Everyone, I have prepared a gift for you today, I hope you like it." ”

Zhang Hao clapped his hands, and immediately a guard appeared with a large number of sword boxes. 32 firms, a total of 96 sword boxes. Three for each comptoir.

Leng Qingsong took a sword box with both hands, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a very plain-looking long sword, and the scabbard was also dusty, simple and even a little simple, and even the basic patterns were not carved.

Leng Qingsong picked up the long sword, but his hand was heavy, and the scabbard was all iron. No, it's steel!

Slowly pulled out the long sword, and suddenly the cold light burst out, reflecting the brilliance of the setting sun, and the sword seemed to have some kind of blood color.

"Good sword!" Leng Qingsong couldn't help shouting, and slowly pulled out his long sword to take a closer look, but saw that there were layers of wave-like ripples on the sword's body, which was beautiful and somewhat mysterious. This is the mark left by folding and forging.

And there are faint wavy lines at the blade position. This is the mark of a burned blade. After the burn blade, the weapon is sharper and stronger.

But what really surprised Leng Qingsong was that this sword body turned out to be forged of steel. Although it is only a 'tabula rasa equipment' with no additional spells, formations, etc., the sword is still extremely sharp. Gently scratching the hard rocks of the seashore, the rocks are cut like tofu.

After using the identification technique, I was surprised to find that the purity of this sword reached 99.7%!

Zhang Hao introduced on the side: "This is built by the craftsmen of the Zhang family in the past few days. The steel quenched with 99.7% dark iron is purified by complex smelting (in fact, some impurities are added to it), and then it is folded and forged 13 times to make plasticity, and finally covered with soil and burned blades. The hardness of its sword edge is comparable to that of a spiritual treasure.

The only pity is that because the steel is too hard, it is difficult to carve the formation. ”

Leng Qingsong flicked the sword body, and the sword body trembled slightly, like a pool of clear water. He sighed: "Young Master Zhang is polite. Such a sword may be more precious than an ordinary spiritual treasure.

Because there is no formation, there is no mutual restraint, and there is no requirement for use. In some special cases, this sword ...... It can help!

The world of Eastern cultivation is relatively complex, and various means emerge one after another. In this case, this kind of top-notch non-attribute equipment has the strength of a spiritual treasure in itself, and it is very precious!

The rest of the people were amazed.

Zhang Hao was a little surprised, I accidentally did something amazing again?

Leng Qingsong approached Zhang Hao, "Young Master Zhang, how many more swords are there, we will pay the price of 500 high-grade spirit stones, how many will be charged!"

The rest of the people have said that this can be traded.

Zhang Hao blinked, and gradually smiled: "This sword is 200 high-grade spirit stones, and it doesn't take five hundred." In this case, I will ask the craftsmen of the family to make a batch and take it with them when everyone leaves. ”

"Young Master Zhang is sincere!"

After the lively end of the dinner in the evening, Zhang Hao bid farewell to everyone, but rushed to the research base in a hurry.

Long before the dinner, Huang Mingshan handed over a message to Zhang Hao - young master, the locomotive you asked us to study has finally achieved great success. And with the steam turbines, we've also made key progress.

When he came to the research base, Zhang Hao saw a dream technology at first sight: locomotives and rails!

At the beginning, that is, when the cannon was just produced, Zhang Hao asked Huang Mingshan and others to start researching locomotives to replace horse-drawn carriages. However, because of the immaturity of the overall technology, it is difficult to achieve results.

If you want to build a locomotive, you need a power core. However, the temporary mechanical power core of the Zhang family is the turbine, including the steam turbine and the turbine driven by the spirit stone.

However, the steam turbine is cumbersome and the technology is not mature enough, and the Lingshi turbine is good, but the technology required to convert mechanical energy into continuous output power is far more complicated than Zhang Hao expected. As a result, the locomotive is very bulky and will sink directly into the ground when walking on the road.

And now there is no rubber, and there are no similar items. In the past, the wheels of horse-drawn carriages were either wood-clad and iron-clad, and the carriages of wealthy families would be rolled into tires with demon animal skins. But apparently, such tires could not meet the needs of industrialization.

Later, Zhang Hao had to settle for the next best thing, that is, to study rail locomotives. It's called a train.

Moreover, if fuel and steam are used as power, the power of the locomotive will be very large, the cost will be very low, and it should be of great use.

Now, Huang Mingshan has finally succeeded.

It is a real steel monster, almost 3 meters tall, without skin, and the organic and complex pipes of the main body of the steam turbine can be seen. The boiler was oil-fired boiler. The boiler has adopted a water-cooled wall structure and adopts oil-injected combustion.

When Zhang Hao arrived, Huang Mingshan and others were testing. The locomotive moves slowly along a fifty-metre-long railroad track. Connecting rod-driven iron wheels roll slowly on the rails. The width of the rails is a full three meters!

"Young Master!" Huang Mingshan greeted excitedly from afar, "Young Master, how about we build a railway to Ninghe County and Ranci Mountain tomorrow?"
