Chapter five hundred and sixty-ninth stone track line into
September 14th, the sky is sunny.
Dani, who was wearing a scarlet official robe, led officials from the Ordnance Office and personally moved the newly built wooden wheel car onto the stone track.
The real Taoist priest squinted his eyes, touched the wooden wheel cart with his hands, and sighed in admiration.
"I didn't expect this thing to be able to run faster than a galloping horse."
According to Su Lu's idea, Dani conducted countless on-site tests on the wooden wheel cart. In cooperation with the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, she traveled hundreds of times between the capital and Hebei County. Many accidents occurred in the process. The wooden wheel was not durable and the stone track
If the distance is too wide, the carriage will fall apart after shaking for a long time.
The newly arrived Lu family master craftsmen also put in a lot of effort and overcame the problems one by one, allowing the wooden wheel cart to run dozens of times on the stone rail line from Hebei County to the capital without any problems.
Construction of the stone rail line connecting Jiangzhou and Beijing has begun. According to the plan, four stops will be set up in Andong, four stops will be set up in Jiangzhou, and the final battle will be set up in Shangshan County, reaching the front line.
Now that there is no war in the country, there are more sergeants available. Under the dispatch of the Ministry of War, hundreds of thousands of guardsmen have been dispatched collectively. The stone rail line from the capital to Keshan County under the jurisdiction of Andong Prefecture has been connected, and the railway line from Keshan to Ning'an has been connected.
The route is also being sorted out and is not far from completion.
Today is the first test run, and Dani is a little excited. Although the heavy-loaded wooden wheel car has made dozens of trips between Beijing and Jixian County, she is still excited.
"The Emperor has arrived"
"The prince has arrived"
The eunuch's shrill voice rang out, and His Majesty's bright and yellow chariot came over. Dozens of tough-looking guards opened the way. Countless female officers guarded the chariot, and the Ouchi guards in red surrounded the chariot several times.
The people watching the excitement and the guards who were busy all knelt down, and there were people kneeling everywhere.
Li Qing got down from Luan Jia and gave instructions:
"Let everyone be equal."
Su Lu had already arrived next to Dani and asked:
"What's going on? Can we test drive?"
Dani and Zhen Yuan Tao both stood up, their cheeks flushed when they heard this, "Not yet, we have just placed the wooden wheel car on the stone track line."
Li Qing came over with the support of Chang Ning and also asked:
"Dani, the prince said that this car can reach Jiangzhou in one day and night. Don't let me down."
Dani said respectfully: "Your Majesty, don't worry, what the prince said has never been false. This car has run between Beijing and Jixian many times. It is faster than a galloping horse. It can reach Jiangzhou in one day and night without any problem."
"
Su Lu nodded, "It's pretty good to be faster than a galloping horse. The key is that as long as the driver has enough internal energy, the car can keep moving forward day and night, and reach Jiangzhou in one day and night."
"I'll test drive"
Su Lu said, about to board the wooden wheel cart.
Zhen Yuan Dao stopped Su Lu:
"Your Majesty, this is against the rules. Testing a car is dangerous in itself, and we cannot allow you to try it. Besides, Mr. Wang has already specially hired someone with money, so why don't you use it?"
Su Lu was slightly stunned, "Spending money to invite someone here?"
Isn't it just a test car? It can be started if there is inner breath. Why did you spend money to hire someone? Could it be that the Ordnance Office doesn't even have enough experts with inner breath?
Among the crowd, several monks wearing cassocks came over, and the middle-aged monk at the head stood up with one palm.
"The poor monk Shi Neng of Daxiangguo Temple has met your Majesty and the prince."
Li Qing was delighted: "Master Shi Neng, are you the one who was invited to test the car?"
Shi Neng looked at the wooden wheel cart and shook his head: "Your Majesty, the poor monk only came here to consecrate the wooden wheel cart and the stone track. I will not do the test run."
Li Qing was stunned when he heard this. What's the situation? You don't want to do the test drive?
Dani was stunned when she heard this, and became anxious, "Master Shi Neng, that's not what you said yesterday at the Daxiangguo Temple. As long as I pay, you monks in the Daxiangguo Temple will not even talk about test driving and consecrating it, even if they drive the car, they will not consecrate it."
question."
Shi Neng shrank his neck: "Yesterday is yesterday, today is today, don't force the donor."
Li Qing's face turned cold and said, "Here comes someone."
More than a dozen imperial guards came around and blocked Shi Neng and several monks. They pressed their hands on the handles of their swords, waiting for Li Qing's order to kill or arrest people.
Shi Neng gave up immediately and knelt down with a plop, tears streaming down his face.
"It's not that I won't do it, Your Majesty, it's just that it's too dangerous. I was deceived yesterday. This lady said she would test drive, but she didn't say how dangerous it is."
"I have inquired clearly. Just from Ji County to the capital, during the first seven test drives, some people were almost thrown to death every time."
"I have an old and a young child at home. I have an eighty-year-old mother at the top and a baby son at the bottom. I beg Your Majesty to let us go."
Su Lu frowned slightly and asked Dani:
"Haven't the wooden wheel cart been tried many times? How come so many people died?"
Dani's face was a little ugly: "We have no experience in the previous few test runs, and we don't know that when the wooden wheel vehicle is too heavy, the use of internal energy must be prudent, because the internal energy is too violent, and many accidents happened.
Son."
"But no one died. The car was damaged and people were injured. There was no major accident."
Su Lu nodded: "The emergence of every new thing must go through various twists and turns. It's good that there are no dead people. This time I will test the car."
Pushing away the true veteran, Su Lu stepped onto the wooden wheel cart and sat down next to the handle of the inner energy conversion cabinet.
Li Qing looked excited, pushed Chang Ning's hand away, and walked to the car.
"I'm coming too. This is the first thing the Ordnance Mansion has made since it became an independent government. As an emperor, I didn't contribute much, but now it's about to be completed. Let me give everyone a little more confidence."
With that said, Li Qing had already got on the wooden wheel cart.
The expressions of the surrounding imperial guards and female officers all changed and they gathered around.
The true veteran opened his hands and shouted loudly:
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. Wooden wheel carts can run over people if they move. Get out of the way and get off the stone track."
"As for you, the Ouchi guards are amazing. Get out of the way quickly or someone will die."
On the wooden wheel car, Li Qing sat down next to Su Lu and watched Su Lu take the inner breath into the inner breath conversion cabinet.
"Why is there still no movement? I see that you have taken in a lot of inner breath."
Su Lu shook his head and said:
"Don't rush this matter. Rushing will kill you. The car is too heavy. If it is a little lighter, the lifting speed will be very fast."
While the two were talking, Lu Zhan had already jumped from the front of the car into the car, followed by several guards who climbed onto the car with deft hands and feet.
Chang Ning watched Lu Zhan get into the car, and an idea came to his mind. He also got in the car with the door open, and also called a few female officers to come up.
"squeaky"
The car finally started to move, and the wooden wheels and stone rails made a friction sound, which was extremely harsh.
"Clang, bang, bang..."
The wooden wheel cart started moving, and its speed began to slowly increase.
"Let's go to Keshan for lunch today. I heard that Keshan has a kind of meat pie called Guada. The inside is stuffed with pork and green onions, and the outside is fried to a crispy texture. It's delicious."
Li Qing smiled happily: "Okay, I haven't been out of Beijing for a long time. I have to come back tonight, and I have to go to court tomorrow."
“Without delay”
Su Lu laughed, increased his inner breath, and the speed of the wooden wheel cart became faster and faster.
