"Uncle, how many trains have arrived at the station on the shore?" Yang Heng finally came to rest and learned about the matter well. He was going to the dock to cut the ribbon for the ship, and even let a train be transported to the other side.

"Xuewen, there is no train to arrive at the station now. The train we expected will arrive tomorrow morning and will be transported to the other side. The advertisement has been sent out. I wonder, should we have a preview now, so don't fail at that time?"

"No need, I believe in the rigor of these technicians, so we can do it tomorrow."

…………

"Owner, don't look at this ship as ugly, but its load capacity is not light. If you load a passenger car, you can load three vehicles. If you load a full freight train, you can load one vehicle. In fact, this is not the main load capacity of the ship. This load capacity is the smallest error of the floating and sinking when loading the train is not loaded, and it will not affect the train boarding and disembarking."

The next day, the train had not arrived yet. Yang Heng, accompanied by his uncle and the main designer of the ship, inspected more than a dozen ships parked on the shore. When the time came, the dozen ships would be one by one, and they would be one by one, and they would all be linked together. Why do we need so many ships? This is mainly because we are using wooden boats now, and some of the techniques for boarding and disembarking are not very standard, so we must be directly connected to the train tracks on the shore, and we cannot connect them with moving rails. That's it.

The ship is really ugly. A raised boat has no cabin. There is a raised cabin on both sides, so it should be a water tank. It can be guessed that the water loaded in this water tank must be more than several times that of a fully loaded train. Otherwise, it would not be said that the floating and sinking difference will be very small after the train goes up. There is also a bulge, which is close to the railway tracks. This should be the power cabin, which is where the steam engine is located. When Yang Heng guessed this place, he saw that smoke had begun to come out on it. This was, they began to burn the boiler, and wait for the boat to start and start the link. Then the train boarded the boat.

At the station wharf, there were already a group of people waiting for them. These people were all villagers from nearby villages. Some of these villagers were preparing to cross the river for free, and some people came to experience taking a boat on the train. Of course, just for publicity, the railway on the other side has not been built for how long it is, and even the ferry train will not be taken. However, after the railway is built for hundreds of miles, there will be more people taking the bus.

"Woo..." The whistle of the train sounded from a distance, and then the sound of deflation was heard. The train had slowed down and entered the station. At the same time, the etiquette host also shouted loudly: "The good time is here." So firecrackers were set off at the bow and stern of each ship. When the sound of the firecrackers stopped, "Woo, Woo, Woo..." More than a dozen ships sounded whistles one after another, and slowly these ships started to move out of the dock in sequence. These ships will be linked together from now on, except for the future.

In addition to maintenance, it will not be separated. The first ship first came to the side of the dock of the train station. There were two commanders raising flags on the shore. The red flag was moving forward and the green flag was moving backward. The two flags were lifted together and the two flags stopped. When the two commanders raised the double flags, some crew members quickly fixed the ship with a latch. Yes, it was a latch, not a cable, because the most accurate docking was needed at this time. If there was a little dislocation, the train might derail.

The same action was, one ship, one ship, until all the eleven ships were positioned, and a maid quickly pulled up a red silk, with some red flowers tied on it, and just blocked the train. Li Zhi got off the train, as well as Uncle San and Uncle Wu, who were all people who came to cut the ribbon.

"Brother-in-law, your ship is very small, it can still be used on the train, it is amazing." At this time, Li Zhi jumped out of the train like a curious baby, observing everywhere, revealing curiosity.

"Okay, prince, this is the one you have time to see. Let's cut the ribbon first." As he said, the maids brought gold scissors on the tray, and at the same time, firecrackers were set off on the locomotive, and even a red flower was hung, which was also hung on the boat.

"Okay, I wish this trip smoothly on behalf of my father and let the train arrive on the other side successfully." As he spoke, Li Zhi and Yang Heng, the two uncles, four of them, plus the chief designer, and a total of five, picked up the golden scissors together and cut the red silk open. This was considered a successful ribbon cutting.

Once again, the firecrackers rang again, and at this time, the ribbon-cutting people, and even some shipbuilding technicians, stood on both sides of the railway. Watching the train start slowly and start driving onto the ship. It was very stable. The train drove onto the ship. "Chi,..." As a sound of deflated air sounded, the train stopped, and then someone quickly raised a barrier under the wheels at the front and rear of the car, and then quickly removed the docking of the ship to the shore.

The two commanders raised the red flag at the same time, and at this time, two more flag-raising appeared on the ship. They were commanding the ship, one at the bow and the other at the stern. They raised the green flag at the same time and pointed forward. "Woo..." As a sound of a whistle, the ship slowly drove away.

The flag language is of all kinds, and it will never be mistaken, especially to prevent the train from being raised on the ship in order to make the flag language wrong. This obstacle actually cannot stop the train from starting. However, it links this mechanism, that is, when the obstacle is raised, the train will not start. That is the case, and this is the most important guarantee.

"Woo,..." Not long after, the ship had shifted to the other shore. On the other shore, there were also people conducting commands. The ship slowly moved its position until it was aimed at the orientation. In this way, the ship stopped, and the train started again and slowly drove into the station on the other shore. If it was running normally, the train would stop on the other shore for a while, let the personnel taking the bus get on and then continue its journey.

Naturally, they will not continue traveling far away at this time, but there are also people who need to get off the train. They are people who cross the river, while those who have not got off need to take the train to continue back. This is also their travels across the river.

When the train passed, the ship hung it on the other side with a cable and removed the pin. At this time, the ship had to wait for the train to meet, or the ship came back to continue picking up the train. That's it.

However, at this time they hung the cable first, let the latch be released, and the ship moved slightly with the water flow. Then, with a whistle, the personnel began to act again, which was to use the latch to fix the ship, and the train retreated. However, when the train retreated, the front of the car was not in front, but the front of the car was at the rear.

"Uncle, this place is very successful. Tell the workers that I will work overtime for the Chinese New Year this year. When these things are really handled, I will let them have a while off. Also, I want to go back to report to His Majesty, so you will take care of it here in the next few days. Prince, let's get in the car and go back."

After the train came back, Yang Heng explained to his uncle. He got on the train with Li Zhi and Uncle Wu and returned to Chang'an. The uncle needs to be responsible for the shipyard here, and the third uncle needs to care about the affairs of the other strait. Now, they need to open a new stone mine on the other strait.

Moreover, Uncle San has more than just a few things. He has a lot of things to do. The mine has been selected a long time ago, but some heavy equipment has not been transported. Before, they used carriages to transport some work on the other side, and some work was done manually. They only built a gravel road to the mine, and even the railway tracks were not even paved. Now that it is open to traffic, the first thing is to lay the railway tracks and then transport some heavy equipment to the mine, and the mine has officially started construction.

What should Yang Heng and Li Er report? That is, some key projects of this railway have been completed, and the next step is the choice of railway routes. From then on, Yang Heng will no longer participate in the selection of routes. It is just how Li Er arranges it and how they do it. Then some strategic uses are not something that Yang Heng can participate.
