Chapter 320 My dear friends, follow me on the train! (Fifth update)
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Before the money from the Japanese pirate country was delivered, Li Changfeng couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
Although the two countries are separated by the sea, they will definitely take more time, but they should be delivered at this time.
After thinking about it, Li Changfeng sent someone to the Japanese pirate country to collect the accounts.
After arranging this matter, the Ministry of Railways reported that the construction task of the first section of the building was about to be completed. In just one or two days, he would be asked to prepare for acceptance.
Li Changfeng was very happy.
It's been more than half a year.
The construction of the first section has finally been completed.
This section is located on a plain, without the need to open mountains and build bridges, and there is almost no construction difficulty. Thousands of people are invested in construction. In the past life, the speed is simply outrageously slow.
But in this world, it's OK. After all, it's the first time. I have no experience and everything is moving forward while exploring.
During the construction process, Li Changfeng has been to the site many times, and there will be no problem with the quality of the project. Now it is the locomotive and the carriage.
Li Changfeng immediately rode a fast horse to the research institute.
Liang Dafu devoted most of his energy to the nuclear weapons plan during this period, but after hearing that the construction task of the first section of the railway track was about to be completed, he came to the train manufacturing workshop as soon as possible.
After all, this matter is of great importance, Emperor Qianwu has been paying attention to it all, and there must be no mistake.
Seeing Li Changfeng coming to the scene in person, Liang Dafu came up and smiled and said, "Your Highness, why are you here too?"
Li Changfeng looked at the huge locomotive and said, "How can you do this if you don't come here to see it in person?"
Li Changfeng asked while walking towards the front of the car: "Have you tested it?"
"I did a weight-bearing test, and there was no problem."
"Where is the carriage?"
"There is even more problematic for the car, but considering the weight and steel consumption, the car chassis and frame are made of steel, and other places are made of wood, but there is no problem with overall stability."
"Very good, you thought it very carefully."
"The railway tracks are directly laid to Beijing Station, and then you can drive directly over and everything is ready."
...
Under Liang Dafu's explanation, Li Changfeng carefully checked the front of the car.
Although many details are handled roughly, it is the first time after all, and it is rare to be able to do this level.
Li Changfeng is in a good mood.
However, he also made an opinion.
"The steam locomotive is too bulky and there is still a lot of room for improvement, so you have to have a snack."
Liang Dafu nodded in agreement: "Yes, I have noticed this too. I have already developed a research and development idea for the new generation of steam engines. When it comes to steam engines, I remember something."
"What's up?"
"The steam engines of the five armored warships have been manufactured. Your Highness, please arrange it for transportation. You can't let me worry about it, right?"
Li Changfeng was overjoyed: "Haha, okay, I'll arrange this."
When he sent someone to repair Benjamin's cargo ship, he let the research institute infiltrate and learn their shipbuilding techniques and then set up a shipyard.
During this period, the shipbuilding plan has been changed several times.
From the original wood to the iron armor.
The power changed from the initial human and wind power to steam power.
Li Changfeng did not have very high requirements for the size of the armored warship, and it would be better to be a circle larger than Benjamin's cargo ship.
In his vision, these five armored warships were more of the role of transporting goods.
Because it is not realistic to build a large number of iron-armored cargo ships, it is a long-term process to achieve this, and wooden ships are still difficult to replace in a short period of time.
The steam engine suitable for armored warships nowadays is well built, which means that the armored warships will be launched soon, which will lay a solid foundation for his ocean-going trade plan.
After leaving the research institute, Li Changfeng called Zhang Haihui and asked him to take charge of the matter himself.
He arranged the construction of the shipyard at the beginning, and he was most familiar with this aspect.
Soon, the construction of the first section of the railway is about to be completed, and the train is ready to go without deliberately promoting it. Everyone in the capital will know about it.
Too many people pay attention to this matter!
Emperor Qianwu summoned Li Changfeng to the imperial study room and carefully confirmed whether everything was ready.
When Li Changfeng left, Emperor Qianwu laughed for a long time, and then issued an order to announce to the world that he would board the train to experience it himself soon.
According to Li Changfeng's suggestion, Emperor Qianwu not only wanted to bring civil and military officials with him this time, but also ordered Gao Dali to select merchants from all walks of life in the capital to send invitations, and even many people from the eight major families were invited.
In addition, there are many peddlers and pawns, all of whom are invited.
The purpose is very simple, which is to allow people from all walks of life and strata of Daqian to experience it personally and use their reputation to promote the train.
Because after the trial operation, it will be put into normal operation and start to earn money by attracting people and goods.
In addition to the eight major families and civil and military officials, all those who received the invitation letter from Emperor Qianwu were all excited and said that there was blue smoke coming from the ancestral tomb.
In this era, the emperor had supreme authority.
If you can receive an invitation from the emperor, it is a great honor, even if it is sent in batches.
These people were very excited and ran around the streets with invitation letters, causing a sensation in the entire capital.
Under Lee Changfeng's deliberate care, Park Kyung-tae received an invitation as an envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom and would board the train with all the civil and military officials of Daqian.
This made Park Jingtae very excited and sighed inwardly about the value of this silver flower.
Finally, time has come to the day of waiting for the bus.
The capital city was filled with people and all the people rushed to the station.
Not long after, Emperor Gan Wu arrived.
"Long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long
The sound of tsunami sounded, and the sound of shocking the sky made Park Jingtai secretly shocked.
"Let's go flat."
Emperor Gan Wu's tone was calm and there was unconcealed expectation on his face. He looked along the railway tracks leading to the train factory of the Research Institute and subconsciously stretched his neck.
Seeing him like this, everyone on the scene looked over and the entire scene was heard.
After a moment.
With a long "woo" sound, a crackling sound came over, and everyone couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and look over.
"Here is here! Here!"
"The train is here!"
I don’t know who exclaimed, and everyone showed an excited look.
I saw a steel dragon slowly sailing towards this side in the distance, almost ten feet tall, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Scream!
As the sound of the steam valve deflated, the train began to slow down slowly, and slowly stopped at the platform under the gaze of everyone.
Li Changfeng walked out of the carriage, bowed slightly, and made a call to Emperor Gan Wu.
"Father, please get in the car."
Emperor Gan Wu laughed loudly and waved his hand.
"My dear friends, come onto the car!"
After saying that, he was the first to board the train, Li Changfeng followed closely, followed by civil and military officials.
