"Haha. You don't need to be so excited, let's start with Qin Zhidao. Yang Chenglong complained.

Zhou Peiling complained: "Qin Zhidao?"

"That's right, Qin Zhidao. ”

Yang Chenglong closed his head and replied: "This road has just begun, so naturally we should also see its efficacy, if its efficacy is really good, it will naturally be applied to other places." But for now, it's better to restore Qin Zhidao first. ”

Zhou Peiling responded: "I understand." ”

It is true that the technical difficulty of building a road is lower than that of a railway, but there are also many limitations, such as circumventing mountains, ravines and large rivers, so the route also needs to be well planned, because the next project is not a small cost, and it is naturally best to complete it with the least money and the shortest time.

Among them, the simplest is the former Qin Zhidao ruins, its soil is quite solid, after more than a thousand years is still as hard as ever, there is no obstacle along the way, it is the best construction route.

Therefore, the construction of this road was first put on the agenda, and the experience of building this road will also be used in the construction of other roads.

Now that he had taken over the task, Zhou Peiling immediately began to act and began to look for an assistant who could help.

Although his colleagues were whining, after all, they hadn't been in Chang'an City for long, and they hadn't played a lot of things, so they didn't feel very happy, but they still followed Zhou Peiling, after all, they were colleagues who worked together, and they were more familiar with each other.

"I said you, it's only been a few days, why did you find us again?"

Wang Ruofeng felt a little unhappy, he had just accosted a little girl, and was about to continue to develop a relationship, but he was dragged here by Zhou Peiling.

Zhou Peiling smiled: "Alas. Isn't that what you need? That's why I brought you here. ”

"Anyway, what are you looking for us?"

Wang Ruofeng replied angrily: "If you don't say it, I'll have to leave." You must know that Li Ling is still waiting for me in Huanyuan Garden, but I can't let her down. ”

"Cut. You kid is so fast, you found a wife so quickly?"

He Sai pouted and expressed dissatisfaction: "You must know that we are all virgins, can you really bear to leave us?"

"What I said, it's just that Minister Yang just introduced, and I haven't had much contact with it, so how can I say it like I've succeeded. Wang Ruofeng was a little embarrassed, although he tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't stand the hot eyes of the group, so he began to change the topic.

"By the way, Lao Zhou, what are you looking for us for?"

"That's right. Recently, Minister Yang just approached me, saying that he wanted me to preside over the restoration of Qin Zhidao, so I brought you here. ”

Zhou Peiling took out the drawings that had already been drawn and spread them out in the eyes of everyone.

"Well, this is nearly two thousand miles long, and you want us to complete it?" After glancing at it, He Sai shouted: "By the way, how much is the construction period?"

"Two years!"

Zhou Peiling replied.

"Two years, how is this possible? You must know that when Meng Tian built it, it also used 400,000 laborers, and it took four years to build it successfully. Two years to complete? This is impossible!"

He Sai shook his head violently and replied, "You must know that there are not so many laborers in our territory. In my opinion, it will be at least five years. ”

It takes workers to build railways and farmers to plant farmland, but these two have completely drained the labor force in Guanzhong, and if they want to complete such a large project, they will inevitably face a shortage of manpower.

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. The road is not as cumbersome as the railway, so it doesn't need as many workers. And I had already expected that if I could get this thing, it would be much faster. Zhou Peiling took out a piece of paper and handed it to everyone.

When He Sai and the others stared at it, they saw that on the paper, it was a strange mechanical device.

It is similar to the locomotive, it is also powered by a steam engine, but under the driving wheels used to drive the movement of the train, a circle of iron plates is installed, just like the rails are mounted on the train, in addition, behind the car, there is a huge iron brush about two feet long, and there is also an inlet in front of it, I don't know what it does.

"This is a paver I designed, and it should have been quicker if I had taken this thing. Zhou Peiling said with a smile.

"Is it a paver? Are you going to use this device instead of a paver?"

He Sai and the others looked happy, and immediately showed some concerns: "It's just that this thing is feasible?"

"Huh. Whether it's feasible or not, can we give it a try? If we can, of course, we can speed it up, and even if it fails, there's nothing to lose, right?" Zhou Peiling smiled: "Of course, if you are close to me, you can't get this thing, so I found you." ”

"Is this what it is?" Wang Ruofeng complained.

Zhou Peiling nodded and replied, "That's right." After all, you are much better at understanding machinery than I am, and you should be able to solve its walking device. ”

"In that case, I'll be in charge of the power plant. Hossey said.

The rest of the people also agreed, each taking on part of the design.

Seeing the group start to get busy, Zhou Peiling felt very happy, if there is the help of these friends, what can not be overcome?

It took less than a week for the group to revise the drawings of the former locomotive, and then the construction work began, which went without saying that it was not until three months later that the first test model was made, and then the restoration work began.

At the beginning, the paver was indeed a little unstable and could not be stably discharged, but after several repairs, it began to gradually stabilize and be able to be used stably, and the whole project began to advance rapidly, the only limitation is that the asphalt is always insufficient, and the asphalt consumed to build the road is too large to be supplied at all.

In contrast, the expropriation of farmland and compensation are the most difficult aspects.

After more than a thousand years, many things will happen, and some people have picked up Qin Zhidao in order to be able to build their own houses, and some have directly occupied it for private ownership and built their own farmland on it.

No, when Qin Zhidao was built to Chunhua, he encountered a trouble.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

Seeing dozens of farmers carrying farm tools on their shoulders in the distance, He Sai greeted them.

When building the road, He Sai had never seen these people, and he only regarded the other party as an ordinary good deed, and was ready to blow these guys away.

However, the first person put the hoe on his shoulder in front of him, raised his head suddenly, and pointed his finger directly at the steel machinery behind He Sai.

Behind Hossey, a huge steel machine lay on the ground, the open iron in front of it was filled with rubble, and on the roof of the car was a square container about a foot wide, containing hot asphalt.

There were a number of wagons parked nearby, all of which were filled with gravel and asphalt, which would be replenished as soon as the materials inside were exhausted.

The farmer looked at the steel machine, obviously showing a bit of resentment, and scolded: "You guys have damaged the feng shui in my clan, can you quickly dismantle it for me?"

"Demolished?"

He Sai's eyes widened, feeling that he had heard it wrong, and quickly shook his head and replied, "I'm sorry, this can't be." ”

He Sai knew what the peasants were talking about, but the asphalt paver they had made, powered by a steam engine, although it was slow, it was only ten miles per hour, and it could not even keep up with the speed of ordinary people's strolling, but it was extremely efficient, but unfortunately due to the supply of materials, it could only last forty miles a day.

Relying on this thing, Zhou Peiling and the others only spent less than a month, and they had already completed half of the former Qin Straight Road.

"Not demolition?"

The man's expression was stunned for a moment, and he immediately became hideous, and shouted to the extreme: "Since you don't demolish it, then don't blame us for being polite." So saying, he threw the hoe above his shoulder, and ran first to the asphalt paver.

The farmers who came with him also shouted, "That's right, let these guys see how good we are." ”

As they spoke, they followed the man and ran towards the huge machine.

He Sai suddenly panicked, and hurriedly got up to stop him, shouting, "No, you can't do this." ”

Without being wary, he suddenly felt a pain in his back, his body fell directly to the ground, and a person behind him held a wooden stick, and scolded directly: "It's polite if you don't kill you, and you dare to drive this thing here? ”

In the distance, the workers who were operating the paver were also panicked, although they also wanted to stop it, but when they saw He Sai being knocked to the ground, they could only abandon the paver and run for their lives in the back.

Soon, all that was left was the huge paver.

At this moment, the coal in the paver boiler has not yet burned out, the whole body is quite hot, and the black smoke column is soaring into the sky, still humming and working.

"Let's get rid of this thing. ”

With an angry curse, the first person jumped directly onto the paver, and poked the hoe in his hand towards the gear that pushed the machine to move, although the stick was crushed, but the hoe was metal, and it was stuck in it, so that the gear could not run.

The gears could not run, and even the bearings could not rotate, and the steam in the boiler became more and more vigorous, but there was no possibility of releasing it.

These are not ordinary hot gases, but high temperatures of up to two or three hundred degrees Celsius, and if they are drenched, the whole person will be scalded off a layer of skin.

"Ahh

The people suddenly let out a terrible scream, and wanted to flee outside, one of them panicked, but broke directly into the cab, and I don't know what device he stepped on, the top of the paver with the hot asphalt tank tilted slightly, and all the asphalt inside poured out, pouring out more than a dozen people next to him.

This is cooked asphalt, which is not only very hot, but also sticky.

was drenched in the asphalt, and before those people could scream, they were directly submerged in it, and it seemed that they would not survive.

"Killed, mechanical monsters killed!"

The rest of the farmers were also dumbfounded, watching this scene in horror.

They didn't have a basic education, they thought it was because they had angered the mechanical monster in front of them, which made the monster angry and swallowed their partner.

They didn't dare to rescue those seriously injured partners, and the rest of the people turned around and ran, and disappeared in an instant.

He Sai was also terrified, his trembling lips were a little incredulous, and he complained: "This, why did this happen?"

Such casualties are too great to hide, if it is transmitted to Chang'an, I am afraid that I will not talk about the rise, and it will be great if I can not be imprisoned.
