The crowds were surging, and the place where the people were trying to run the train was surrounded by water. Emperor Chu's eyes passed over the people's figures, with a strange smile on his face, looking thoughtful.
Train trial operation, a grand event in Chu.
It is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to clear out the hidden outposts of various countries in the city.
Emperor Chu checked everyone's identities and was confident, without saying much. He looked back at Xiao Guizi to one side, and after whispering, Xiao Guizi left quietly.
at this time.
Under the leadership of Mo Gong and Lu Ban, the installation of the steam engine had begun. Jiang Shang, Liu Bowen, and Zhuge Liang moved forward and came to the side of Emperor Chu.
"Your Majesty, what exactly is this?"
Jiang Shang asked. Emperor Chu looked back, smiled lightly, and explained: "This thing is called a train, but the officials of the Academy of Sciences renamed it Dry Land Dragon."
Liu Bowen, Zhuge Liang, Fang Xuanling and others have long known that the Academy of Sciences has been studying forged trains. They had seen them several times before, but they were still curious about trains. They wanted to know whether trains could really make models.
Same, fast shuttle on the track.
When Jiang Shang first came to Chu, the train was still relatively unfamiliar to him. It was such a huge thing, like a giant dragon crossing the wilderness. He had traveled all over the world and been to too many countries, but this was the first time he had seen a train.
"Ziya, the emergence of trains will completely change the only way horses can be transported. As long as the train trial operation is successful, it will completely change everything."
"The space and speed of the train cannot be compared to that of a horse-drawn carriage. It will take less than three days for the train to depart from Beast Emperor City to Dragon War City once the track is completed."
"Three days?"
"The two cities are thousands of miles apart. If a horse travels day and night, it will take more than ten days. Can the train really arrive in three days?"
Jiang Shang and his entourage were all horrified. If it were true as Emperor Chu said, this train would change the times and become the first miracle on the War Continent.
"My lords, you don't have to doubt it. The trial operation will start soon. Let's wait and see."
Emperor Chu was full of confidence, and his loud voice spread. Now he just wanted the train to appear in the War Continent. Everyone was already so surprised. If all other modern times were to appear, people in the world would probably regard him as an immortal.
but.
Emperor Chu was not prepared to allow all modern technologies to appear in the War Continent. After all, to realize many things, it would take too much manpower, financial resources, and time, which was not suitable for the current development of Chu State. With one or two products of modern technology,
It is enough to change the pattern of the War Continent.
At least, with the appearance of trains and fire guns, Emperor Chu was convinced that Chu could compete with the First-Rank Empire.
Everyone was waiting with great anticipation for the installation of the steam engine to be completed, and wanted to see what it would be like when the train was put into trial operation.
About an hour passed, and a beeping sound came. Mo Gong and Lu Ban rushed towards Emperor Chu excitedly, raised their fists and saluted:
"Your Majesty, the installation of the steam engine has been completed and the train trial operation can officially begin!"
"start!"
Emperor Chu's sleeves fluttered, and he walked forward with all his ministers. Mo Gong and Lu Ban shouted loudly and ordered the personnel of the Academy of Sciences to officially start the trial operation of the train.
A little while.
The plume of smoke rose from the front of the car and quickly filled the air. A creaking sound was heard. Everyone stared at the train intently. Emperor Chu also looked happy, with burning eyes flashing.
The steam engine has begun to operate normally, the mechanical power is being converted, and it is only a matter of time before the train moves.
Not far away, people were talking one after another, staring at the smoke in the void, curious to know what Emperor Chu and his officials were doing.
At this moment, Emperor Chu looked back at the people behind him and ordered Naya'a to step forward to deliver the order and let the people come forward to watch. The trial operation of the train was no longer a secret, and it was a good opportunity to demonstrate the national prestige of Chu.
Nagaa stepped forward to give the order, and the besieging soldiers lifted the first level of barriers. The people rushed forward and rushed forward crazily, as if they were not afraid of being trampled to death.
The people rushed forward quickly, looking at the train and pointing and whispering. At this moment, there was a loud bang, like thunder on the ground, and the train moved at this moment.
The train moved and began to run along the track. The friction sound continued to spread. The officials were astonished and all the people were in shock.
"Your Majesty, it really moved, the train trial operation was successful!"
Shen Kuo was so excited that tears filled his eyes. The train was so huge that it actually moved. They succeeded in making the train come into being.
"Shen Qing, you all have contributed greatly to the successful trial operation of the train, but the next task will be even more arduous. I want the train to reach every corner of Chu State."
"My lords, listen to the order and board the train with me to experience it."
Emperor Chu was not surprised by the success of the train trial operation, but everyone at the Academy of Sciences was dancing with excitement. After half a year of unremitting efforts, this moment was finally verified.
If the train hadn't moved and the trial operation had been successful, no one would have believed that such a huge thing could actually move.
However, the train in front of him only had two carriages. Emperor Chu's goal was to forge the train to have twenty carriages, so that it could meet the requirements of every large-scale march.
Moreover, a new plan for the railway track route will be made next. The train trial operation has been successful, and only a small part of the project has been completed. The real busy days will come next.
The words fell.
Mo Gong had already sent an order to stop the train, and Emperor Chu led hundreds of officials to board the train. The train was still very crude at the moment. The wooden chairs and couches had not yet been installed. It was just a huge iron square box moving.
But even such a simple train refreshed everyone's understanding. In their opinion, the operation of the train was simply miraculous.
The concept of converting steam into mechanical power subverted their understanding of the world.
"What do you think, gentlemen? In the future, railway tracks will lead to every city. As long as there is a war, the army will go by train, which can greatly reduce the time consumption."
"Your Majesty, the appearance of the train is truly the greatest miracle in the Warring Continent. Such a miraculous thing will surely become the object of competition among all countries, and it will inevitably be destroyed by others."
"What Jiang Qing said makes sense, but I have a plan to ensure that the train is safe and sound."
Emperor Chu said with confidence, and the gazes of the ministers became more and more respectful. In their eyes, Emperor Chu was omnipotent.
At the place where the train was put into trial operation, the tracks were only a thousand meters away. After Emperor Chu took all the officials around, he got off the train and asked Han Bingluo and the girls to board the train and experience the excitement of the train moving forward. That feeling is completely different from riding a horse and running wildly.
The girls boarded the train, and the officials' eyes remained on the train, but Emperor Chu moved forward and walked toward the people in front of him.
Sudden.
The four women of Emperor Chu stopped in front of them and said with a playful smile: "What do you think of our Chu train, Miss Mo? Is it slightly better than the equipment manufactured by your government city?"
Hearing the sound, the four women's faces were as pale as paper, and their eyes showed surprise. They did not expect that Emperor Chu could see through their identities at a glance under the cover of their superb disguise skills.
"Whoa!"
The sleeves of the four people waved lightly, and the disguise skills disappeared from their pretty faces, returning to their original appearance. Mo Yan's expression was as calm as water, and the brief shock did not make her overwhelmed.
"No wonder Emperor Chu spared no effort to protect the safety of Mo Gong. It turned out to be because he created such a magical weapon for the Chu Kingdom."
"Mo Gong is a traitor to the Mo family's government city. This train should belong to the government city."
Mo Yan's pretty face was as cold as frost, her sharp voice sounded, and her spiritual eyes burst out with a sharp murderous aura. In her opinion, the appearance of the Chu train was all because of Mo Gong.
The train, such a stunning artifact, should originally belong to the Mohist machine city.
"Haha, Miss Mo is overthinking and really flatters Mo Gong. He is just a participant in making the train. Even without him, if the Wu Chu train comes out, no one can stop it."
"Even if Mo Gong hadn't betrayed the Mo family's machine city, even if I gave you a lifetime, you wouldn't be able to build a train, because I am the only one who knows all the technology." (To be continued)
