After entering the platform, a train covered in red and decorated with an almost endless train came into view.
Even in the unactivated state, it still has an awe-inspiring aura.
Not only the common people, but also officials from various departments in the DPRK and China could not help but gasp after seeing the train.
Is this too long?
Is this a train?
This train is even more exaggerated than the Great Qin Treasure Ship.
"How long is this train?"
Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask at this moment.
"Back to my father, each carriage of this train is exactly ten feet long. There are ten carriages in total, plus the two locomotives, the total length is one hundred and twenty-five feet!"
(One zhang in the Qin Dynasty is approximately 2.31 meters)
Ying Yu introduced with a smile.
The fire blueprints produced by the system, coupled with the equipment that Ying Zheng spent a lot of reputation to purchase, made the performance of the train in front of him reach a first-class level.
And for safety reasons, Ying Yu set up two locomotives one behind the other to pull ten passenger carriages, which was no problem at all.
"This is simply a giant steel dragon lying on the rails!"
Ying Zheng couldn't help but praise.
Nei Shiteng and others also nodded one after another, feeling even more impressed in their hearts.
"Father, it's almost time, let's start the ribbon-cutting ceremony!"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly when he heard this.
Later, under Ying Yu's introduction, Ying Zheng and the officials quickly understood that this so-called ribbon cutting was to remove the curtain hanging on the locomotive to get a good start.
"Your Majesty's ribbon-cutting ceremony for the trial operation of Daqin's first railway will surely become a legend for eternity. It is truly an honor for me to be able to accompany you!"
"I would like to congratulate Your Majesty and congratulate Great Qin!"
"Taishi Ling, why don't you hurry up and record it?"
Meng Yi and other court officials quickly stepped forward and congratulated loudly.
"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"
"Great Qin Dynasty for ten thousand years!"
The officials came forward to congratulate one after another, and there were loud shouts from the people watching.
"This train was built by the prince himself. Let me and the prince carry out this ribbon-cutting ceremony together!"
Ying Zheng took the scissors handed over by the chamberlain and waved his hands.
Ying Yu smiled slightly, and amid the cheers of all the people, he and Ying Zheng cut off the red ribbon that tied the curtain.
The curtain slowly fell, and the half-hidden locomotive finally revealed its true face.
The cheers among the crowd suddenly became more enthusiastic.
"Is this the true face of the train? It's so majestic!"
"The shape of this dragon's head lying on the plate is really vivid!"
"Yeah, look at that dragon head that's so lifelike, it's just like the real thing."
"This train has the power of a dragon and a tiger. It is truly the king of land!"
"As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince, it is majestic and domineering!"
After seeing the true appearance of the train, everyone was amazed and started talking about it.
Ying Zheng also showed a trace of satisfaction on his face.
The Qin Dynasty favored martial masculinity and a kingly and domineering spirit. The image of this train is really in line with Ying Zheng's aesthetics.
"I like this black dragon shape very much!" Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Father, ride with me and get ready to set off!"
Ying Yu smiled slightly.
The last time the steam engine made its debut, although it achieved good results, its ugly appearance also received complaints from countless people.
So when designing the steam car, Ying Yu specially customized the shape, which produced good results.
Naturally, you won’t miss the design of the steam train this time.
The shape of the black dragon is not only domineering and unparalleled, but also a symbol of the Qin Emperor.
.......
Under the spotlight, Ying Yu and Ying Zheng boarded the No. 1 carriage together.
Entering Car No. 1 with the two of them were the princes, princesses and other members of the royal family, as well as Wang Jian, Wang Ben and his son.
As for the chief officers of the three provinces and six departments, including Nei Shiteng, Meng Yi, and Dun Ruo, they went to carriage number two.
The officials accompanying him could only go to carriage No. 3.
After entering the train, a group of veteran officials from the Qin Dynasty who claimed to be well-informed were as surprised as Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
"Look, this train carriage is so luxurious. The chairs and sofas are even more comfortable than those at my home."
"Look at these windows. They are all double-layered glass with patterns on them. This is so luxurious!"
Nestern immediately complained.
"You're an old coward, you've made a lot of money, but you just can't bear to spend it, so you're saving it for the next generation!"
Dunwei glanced at Nei Shiteng angrily and said: M.
"What do you know? This is called frugality. Do you know frugality?"
Nei Shiteng argued unconvinced.
"Be frugal. According to His Highness, money must flow to create more value."
"It's hidden in the treasury. Where can it be used for practical projects, such as building a train?"
Meng Yi also joked with a smile.
"It seems a little hot inside this carriage!"
Nesten smiled awkwardly and pretended to study the heating window on the top of the carriage.
"Lao Teng, your face is getting thicker and thicker!"
"But to be honest, this train is really comfortable!"
"If this train can really be built throughout the entire Qin Dynasty, next time I travel with His Majesty, I won't have to suffer from the fatigue of traveling by boat."
Meng Yi casually leaned on the back of the sofa, accidentally touched a button, and saw that the entire chair back was completely flat, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"As expected of His Royal Highness, this train is a bit expensive, but it's really worth it."
Everyone expressed their heartfelt feelings together.
The last time I traveled with the First Emperor, even if there was a concrete straight road, the carriage was too much trouble for them.
But now, sitting on this train is so comfortable, just like enjoying it.
It’s really not a huge difference!
"You think, our No. 2 carriage is so comfortable, what kind of experience will it be like in the No. 1 carriage in front?"
Yao Jia suddenly spoke.
"Needless to say, it must be more luxurious and classy!"
"But the old lieutenant was able to get in only because of his granddaughter. We don't have such an honor!"
Feeling weak and out of breath.
They all knew Yao Jia's thoughts very well.
In fact, everyone is not much better.
"How come the Wang family is so lucky?"
"My granddaughter is no worse than that girl Wang Ying!"
"Just blow it!"
"Why, don't you want to marry your daughter to the prince's palace?"
Suddenly there was a sour sound in the carriage.
Why is my family not blessed to be married to His Highness the Crown Prince?
Being able to marry His Highness the Crown Prince is definitely a guarantee for the glory of the entire family!
Just when all the courtiers were thinking, a loud whistle suddenly sounded.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood with the conductor's explanation that the train had started to move.
But the next moment, they were even more confused.
