Chapter 1082 The horse-drawn train

The speed of the Fire Armored Cow is not slow. Its jumping speed is many times faster than that of the horses on Earth. In addition, it has a strong endurance and a journey of a thousand miles, and there is no need to stop or rest at all. Therefore, it is definitely the best beast to use to pull trains.

At the speed of the Fire Armored Cow, the speed of the horse-drawn train will not be lower than the speed of seventy or eighty miles. Such a speed is already possible.

A speed of 70 or 80 miles is twenty-four hours a day, you can travel about 1,700 kilometers to 1,900 kilometers a day, that is, a distance of about 3,400 miles to 3,800 miles.

If such a long distance is used to use an iron hoofed horse, it will take four or five days to achieve it even if you are rushing at full speed in the middle and change horses or not.

What's more, if you use an iron hoof horse to rush on the destination, the cavalry on the iron hoof horse will definitely be at the end of the flight, and you have no energy or energy to do other things. If you want to recover, you will have to rest for two or three days.

This is extremely unfavorable for wartime.

And if the train is pulled by horse, all this will not be a problem.

When you pull a train, you just need to sit inside. You don’t need to consume your energy or anything. Even if there is motion sickness in the middle, after arriving at the destination, you will be able to recover after two or three hours of rest.

What's more, horse-drawn trains are much larger than cavalry in terms of cargo and number of people.

No matter how strong an iron-hoofed horse is, it can accommodate at most two cavalry at a time. However, horse-drawn trains can transport hundreds of people at one time, and there is no comparison between the two at all.

The same is true for transporting goods.

The most important thing is that with the Mara Train, the distance between Linze and Shaman no longer exists.

Huangsha Town is only three or four thousand miles away from Heisha City. At the speed of a horse-drawn train, it is at most a day.

Besides, the speed of the horse-drawn train that Lin Ze took is definitely much faster than that of ordinary passenger and freight trains.

The fire armor cows used in general passenger transport and freight are ordinary fire armor cows, such as the fire armor cows of level 4 or 5 acquired, while Lin Ze definitely uses the cows in the fire armor cow herd, and the fire armor cows of level 7 or 8 acquired.

(The journey from Huangsha Town to Heisha City requires passing through deserts and hilly areas. These places are not like the earth, and there will be no danger. In these places, there are wild beasts, and of course they will not be strong. When Lin Ze started building a railway, he would also concentrate on eliminating the powerful wild beasts near these places.

However, for the sake of safety, the fire armored cows used by horse-drawn trains must have a certain strength, such as the fourth or fifth level of the day after tomorrow. When you see ten beasts of the day after tomorrow, they will be dragging the train forward in front of them, and the beasts in the desert and hills will not dare to act rashly, which will also ensure the safety of passengers and goods.)

Lin Ze's special car uses acquired beasts of level 7 or 8. Naturally, the speed of the special car is definitely far greater than that of a general horse-drawn train, and it is normal to reach a speed of 12 or 30.

Departing from Huangsha Town at a speed of 120 or 30, driving at 5 o'clock in the morning, and reaching Heisha City at ** o'clock in the evening. In this way, Lin Ze would go whenever he wanted to go to Heisha City.

If I set off at night, Lin Ze could have a stable sleep in the car, and when he woke up, he would arrive at his destination.

These are just conveniences for Lin Ze to die, horse-drawn trains, strategies, and conveniences for people's livelihood.

If you want to be rich, build the road first. Among this road, trains are the most important road.

With trains, countless goods can be transported to the destination in the shortest time, thereby strengthening the connection between different cities and developing the economy of these cities.

Similarly, with horse-drawn trains, people will travel much more conveniently in the future.

In the past, you had to walk ten days and half a month, but now you only need to take the train for four or five hours to arrive. Such a fast speed will inevitably lead more and more people to go out of the villages and towns, and thus, the economic development of society will get better and better.

If you want to develop the economy, you still need to revitalize business, and a convenient and fast train is the best igniter.

In terms of strategy, horse-drawn trains can also play a huge role.

The speed of the horse-drawn train and the large load can allow it to transport the army to the destination at the fastest speed during wartime. Moreover, when the army reaches the destination, it does not need to rest at all and can directly enter the battle. In addition, the materials consumed are reduced to the minimum during the journey to transport the army.

For example, now that Heisha City has encountered an enemy, Huangsha Town can transport the army to Heisha City in just half a day. At this time, the enemy's attack troops have not even been launched.

With such fast troop transport speed, there will definitely be very few people who dare to provoke Lin Ze in the future.

When you arrive here, someone may ask, no matter how good the energy of the Fire Armored Niu is, it is too unrealistic to run four or five at a speed of seventy or eighty kilometers, or even 13 or forty kilometers in a row, or even for more than ten hours.

Fire armored cattle are creatures, not machines.

Even if it is a fantasy novel, it must be a degree, right?!

Haha, this problem does exist, but it is actually very simple to solve this problem.

When everyone takes the train, the train stops at the station every half hour, one hour (short distance), or two or three hours (long distance).

One is to get on and off the guests, the other is to change to another locomotive, go up and go up and down and so on.

Linze’s horse-drawn train can also be set up in the same way.

A train station is set up in every city where horse-drawn trains pass, which is also used to get on and off guests, but the locomotive here has become a fire armor cow.

Modern trains usually only change the locomotive every half a day, but Lin Ze can change the Fire Armored Niu every hour.

Running at full speed for an hour, let alone the beasts on the mainland of China can do such things, even some horses on the earth can do it, so there is no need to worry about the problem of the long-term consumption of horsepower.

Now the number of fire armored cattle in Lin Ze's hands has exceeded 20,000 (parts were purchased during this period, and some were born from female fire armored cattle.). Apart from being regarded as part of the plowing cattle and part of the barbarian army, Lin Ze can take out two or three thousand fire armored cattle as "hors" that pull the train.

Two or three thousand heads are enough for horse-drawn trains.

What's more, Lin Ze has been buying Huojiao now, and it will take quite a while to build the train tracks. This time is enough for Lin Ze to give birth to another Huojiao baby.

Therefore, Lin Ze didn't need to worry about the number of fire armor cows at all. The only thing he had to worry about was his wallet.

After all, with Lin Ze's large-scale acquisition of Huojiao and others who saw the advantages of Huojiao in plowing land, the price of Huojiao will definitely rise.

The price of a Fire Armored Bull is now 100 gold coins, but I believe that the price will increase by two or three times in less than a year.

By then, Lin Ze’s spending on buying the Fire Armored Cattle would increase by two or three times.

However, Lin Ze would not care about this.

As long as his horse-drawn train is built, he will no longer have to worry about money in the future.

There are the most obvious examples on the earth. Every railway is equivalent to an endless golden mountain!

"Now it seems that the first thing I do after I go back this time is to focus on the refining of steel. If you want to build a railway, this steel is the most important thing, and you have to refine a very high-quality just now, otherwise you will not be able to withstand the weight and speed of the train." Lin Ze thought silently in his heart.

The weight and speed of the train are extremely fast, which causes the steel mass of the rails that are subject to train pressure to reach very high altitudes.

Ordinary steel cannot be used to make rails at all, because rails made of average-quality steel can easily withstand the strong pressure caused by the huge weight and rapid speed of the train, which in turn leads to the broken rails and finally the tragic result of the car being destroyed and the death of people.

"Although there are things like Xuanbing here, such high-performance materials can only be produced on a small scale. The total annual output of the entire Chu State is only about 40,000 to 50,000 kilograms, which can't afford the manufacturing of railway tracks at all.

The high quality of Xuanbing cannot be achieved on a large scale, and the amount of steel required by the railway is not ordinary, which is calculated in tens of thousands of tons. Such a large quantity is enough for the forging troops from the entire Chu State and five or six surrounding countries to manufacture Xuanbing for hundreds of years.

Besides, even with so much output, it is impossible to use it to make rails. Each gram of materials for refining Xuanbing is dozens of times more expensive than gold. It is obviously unrealistic to use such materials to make rails.

Not to mention anything else, just theft can block this road. Use materials to make the Xuanbing Soldiers to make the rails. I just buried the rails in front of me, and the next moment, countless warriors will pry them away.

As for the huge benefits these rails can bring to the people nearby, haha, will the warriors still care?!" Lin Ze shook his head.

Maybe some warriors who are far away or have ordinary people in their hearts will not do this, but Lin Ze can guarantee that there will be many warriors who don’t care about these things at all. Even if someone stops them, they will still come back to pry the railway tracks on the railway line.

Things like prying rails have happened even on the earth.

Especially during the time when the train just appeared, the price of steel was extremely high at that time. Seeing so much steel spread on the ground like this, many people's eyes were suddenly filled with golden light...
