Chapter 1,470 Want to determine the time

Li Er heard this and asked: "You mean that as long as there is enough fuel, the steam train model can keep running? Is the same true for real steam trains?"

Li Feng nodded and said: "Yes, as long as there is enough fuel, we can keep driving, and the fuel is coal, which is common to everyone.

About 10,000 kilograms of coal can travel two hundred miles, and the university can be reached in one and a half hours.

The advantage of steam trains is that they are fast, they can seat more than two thousand people at a time, and they can also haul a lot of cargo.

As for the specifics, we can discuss it after we go in and take a look. Now, I will ask my father-in-law to go first."

Immediately afterwards, Li Feng made a gesture of invitation to Li Er.

Li Er nodded and walked in front, followed by Li Tai, then Fang Xuanling and others, entering the room one after another.

After Li Er entered the room, his eyes lit up. He saw a model, a model from Chang'an to Tongguan.

Then he noticed that everything was on a big table, and in the middle of the model there was a car with black smoke coming out of the front and making a clicking sound.

"This should be the train." Li Er thought secretly.

Li Feng walked into the house and saw that Li Er was not leaving, so he said: "Father-in-law, there are people behind you."

Li Er was about to get angry when he heard this, but he remembered that there were kings from other countries watching, and he could not lose the face of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

So, Li Er followed what Li Feng said and walked forward.

Then the second and third people walked in slowly and were very shocked when they saw the scene in front of them. It was not the train model that was shocked, but the entire model.

Because the model accurately represents the entire distance between Chang'an and Tongguan, it is simply a reduced version of the distance from Chang'an to Tongguan.

As they walked, everyone murmured to themselves that this was simply amazing. They had never thought of how someone in the world could do such a delicate thing.

Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was even thinking about how to get Li Feng to contribute this technology and add another skill to his Ministry of Industry.

Because the whole model is so realistic, many people forget their real purpose, which is to see the steam train model.

Even if the steam train model is running all the time, it makes a constant clicking sound and occasionally makes a whistle.

But everyone's attention was still attracted by the huge model.

Except for a few, they clearly know their purpose.

Li Feng didn't know that the huge model he built because he wanted to show everyone a more realistic view and better demonstrate the speed of the train made the steam train lose its appeal.

Li Feng followed Li Er out of the room.

Li Er then asked: "Li Feng, I've seen a steam train. It's very fast. I need to run fast to catch up."

Li Feng smiled and said: "Father-in-law, that is just a model of a steam train. It requires you to run with all your strength. As for the real train, my father-in-law cannot catch up with it even with a thousand-mile horse."

Even if I use my car, I can barely catch up if I drive it to the limit."

"If we have this speed and can seat two thousand people at a time, then I can dispatch troops and generals more quickly in the future." Li Er said excitedly.

In addition to food and grass, speed is the key to dispatching troops. If you can reach a place in the fastest time, half the victory is won, because you have occupied a favorable position.

Li Feng said: "Father-in-law, after the express train, goods at the border and Chang'an can be delivered faster.

For example, it takes one month to walk from the border to Chang'an, ten days to ride on horseback, and even three months for a caravan, because they have too much goods and cannot keep going, in case the camels or horses are exhausted. Then their goods

Just throw it away.

But now that there are trains, they can throw their goods on the train and take the train to Chang'an. It takes three days, or at most three days, to reach Chang'an.

Not only is it fast, but you don’t have to worry about the safety of the goods, so why not?”

Li Er nodded slightly. He knew that he was talking about dispatching troops and generals, and Li Feng was talking about commercial transportation. Both of them were talking about the advantages of the steam train.

Changsun Wuji, who was behind him, asked: "Since the steam train is also useful, why not set a time."

"Yes, I'm already waiting to see. Prince Consort, how about setting a time for us all to take a look?" Another official said.

Many officials were clamoring and asking Li Feng to give everyone a moment, because they had heard Li Feng talk about the advantages of steam trains so many times that they were tired of hearing it.

As the saying goes, hearing is false and seeing is belief. It is better to let them see it with their own eyes. If they hear too much, it will always be hearsay and cannot be fully believed.

At this time, there were more and more people outside. Everyone just walked around the model and came out. Even so, it was a waste of half an hour. It can be seen that there were a lot of people.

When some people heard someone asking Li Feng to set a time, they immediately agreed to prevent others from saying they didn't understand.

After Songtsen Gampo and others came out, J looked at Li Feng's mountain model and also looked at the steam train model carefully.

According to Li Feng and Changsun Wuji, a group of Tang officials wanted Li Feng to give them the advantages of the train, so that they would know what benefits it would bring to the Tang Dynasty once the train was successfully manufactured.

It will be increasingly difficult to attack Datang by yourself in the future.

Therefore, when the officials of the Tang Dynasty asked Li Feng to give them the answer, they listened carefully with solemn expressions.

Once the time is determined, they must prepare to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, because this is their last chance.

Originally, they were still worried about the issue of military rations, but now they don't have to worry about it because Li Feng helped them solve it.

Seeing that more and more people were asking, Li Er felt a little bit of pressure, and he also wanted to know, so he asked: "Li Feng, I'm actually very curious, how about you give everyone a specific time?"

Bar."

Li Feng sighed and said: "If everyone here is willing to help, we can go together in three years. If everyone is unwilling, it may take ten years."

Changsun Wuji asked: "How do you need our help?"

Li Feng said: "It's very simple. You all need to help with everything the train needs. For example, Uncle Changsun's blacksmith shop will help me build rails that meet the scale.

The major aristocratic families donated their lands, houses or mountains, and demolished them all to build railways.

Of course, I will compensate you according to the price so that you will not suffer losses."

Changsun Wuji frowned slightly and said: "Li Feng, if you just requisition the Changsun family's blacksmith shop, I can agree to it.

However, if you get all the aristocratic families to agree, I’m afraid this will be impossible.”

Li Feng said: "I don't want your things in vain. I said I would compensate you according to the price. I will compensate you whatever the daily profits of this land, this mountain, and the Zhangsun family's blacksmith shop are."
