Emperor Chu was hunched over his desk writing furiously, as if he was painting. He looked very serious, and from time to time a bright smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
A little while.
Putting down the imperial pen in his hand, he looked at the drawings in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the outside: "Xiao Guizi!"
Creak~
Xiao Guizi opened the palace door, walked forward quickly, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am here!"
"Send these drawings to the Clothing Bureau and ask them to make fifty sets of clothes each according to my description. They must be delivered tomorrow afternoon."
"I received the order and went down immediately to do it!"
Xiao Guizi stepped forward and took the drawing from Emperor Chu's palm, and walked towards the Shangyi Bureau under the moonlight.
The bright moon is in the sky and the stars are shining brightly.
The night breeze blew gently by, and Emperor Chu left the imperial study and headed for the harem. He originally wanted to go to Baihua Palace, but thinking that Daji's body couldn't bear it, he changed his route and walked towards Tianxiang Palace.
Tianxiang Palace, the palace of the Zhao sisters.
............
early morning.
Outside the palace.
On the dragon and phoenix chariot, the Emperor of Chu took his daughters and headed out of the city. Today's train trial operation, road engineering inspection, and grand event of the country are known to all the people because of the Chu State Monthly Report.
At this time, on Chang'an Street, the people stood on both sides, watching the Emperor Chu's chariot leave. Today, the streets of the city were filled with thousands of people, all watching with their own eyes and witnessing this historical moment.
As the chariot left the city, in addition to the Yulin army following it, a vast number of people also followed closely behind.
About an hour later, Emperor Chu brought hundreds of officials to the place where the train was being trialled. Apparently, the officials had already arrived. Seeing the dragon and phoenix chariots appearing, they stepped forward one after another to welcome Emperor Chu and the empresses.
The carriage was swept away, and hundreds of officials gathered around. Under the leadership of Wen Boya and Lu Ban, everyone came to the end of the train and looked around to see the endless train running across the wilderness track.
The train seems to be the backbone of a dragon dormant underground, majestic and magnificent.
All the officials were amazed.
The girls' watery eyes flickered as they stared at the train, with surprise and horror on their pretty faces. Can such a huge thing really move?
It's simply unimaginable.
"Bo Ya, Lu Ban, are everything ready?"
"Back to Your Majesty, we can start at any time!"
Wen Boya said with a firm expression and sonorously. Emperor Chu's mind moved, and the information scanned by the system appeared in his mind. After checking, he found that there was no problem with the train at all.
Completely operational.
"My beloved concubines, get in the car!"
"Everyone, please get in the car too!"
Emperor Chu's majestic voice sounded. Facing the huge beast, everyone was still a little frightened. Finally, under the leadership of Wen Boya and Lu Ban, they started to get on the car one after another.
"Di Qing, select a hundred people from the common people and let them experience the convenience of getting off the train!"
Today's train trial run, Emperor Chu decided that all people will participate, from the princes and nobles to the common people.
A little while.
The people were also curious and frightened as they got on the train. Suddenly the sound of a steam engine spread, smoke began to fill the sky, and there was a creaking sound on the track.
Emperor Chu knew that the train was about to start running, so he got up and boarded the train. The current train forged by the Academy of Sciences is still relatively simple. Because there is no glass on the windows, they are all blocked by fine silk and satin, which is even more airtight.
Others are pretty good, basically all the designs on the drawings have been completed, the seats are made of black iron, and the wooden panels. The spacing between each row of seats is also very standard.
When Emperor Chu came to his beloved concubines, the rumbling sound became more intense as the train started, the earth shook and trembled, and the concubines looked at him in astonishment.
"Your Majesty, can the train really move?"
"I'm sure, with just a cup of tea, all my beloved concubines can travel through the wilderness and appreciate the great mountains and rivers of Chu."
As soon as Emperor Chu finished speaking, there was a roar, and the train really started to move. The speed was not very fast, but it was enough to make everyone scream in shock.
The train was running, and everyone was watching. Amid the crazy shouts of the people, the train was getting further and further away from them.
Emperor Chu sat upright in his seat and raised his hand to open the curtains. A strong wind roared in, and the girls' green hair was flying, and the beautiful scenery in the wilderness was unobstructed.
The cold mountains move in the distance. This contrast with reference objects makes people feel more realistic.
"Your Majesty, it's really moving. The mountains are moving, and so are the ancient trees. It's really miraculous that such a huge thing can move at such a speed."
The girls were ecstatic, ignoring the strong wind. Their spiritual eyes looked at their feet from time to time, and looked into the distance from time to time. Their excitement was unreserved.
"My beloved concubines, this is called technology changing the world!"
"science and technology?"
"It's technology, advanced technology!"
Emperor Chu hurriedly explained, fearing that the girls would dig deeper and find out what technology was, and it would take him a whole day and a night to finish.
Hear the sound.
The girls nodded one after another, as if they seemed to understand, but their eyes still stayed outside the window. It was obvious that the advanced technology did not attract them at all.
At this time, Wen Boya, Lu Ban, and Shen Kuo came to Emperor Chu. After bowing and saluting, Lu Ban said: "Your Majesty, in an hour, the train will be fifty kilometers away. Your Majesty will take the return train."
"good!"
Emperor Chu nodded and thought to himself that the Academy of Science's train was really successful in manufacturing it and could actually reach a speed of fifty kilometers per hour. In his memory, an ordinary train could only reach seventy kilometers per hour.
But this speed is already based on very mature technology and can now reach 50 kilometers per hour. Emperor Chu was very satisfied.
When people are immersed in something, they feel that time passes quickly.
At this moment, the ladies and officials had a profound experience that they had not yet come out of the shock caused by the train, and the two round trips had ended.
This unprecedented experience left them unfinished and reluctant to leave.
But Emperor Chu was going to inspect the results of the asphalt road next, and even if he didn't want to leave, no one dared to bring it up.
After leaving the train base, the carriage headed towards the Chang'an Experimental Road. The asphalt road was a century-old project, and Emperor Chu had always been very concerned about it.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage slowed down and Emperor Chu knew it had arrived at its destination. The girls were still discussing the shock the train had brought to them.
The moment the car window is opened, the vast emptiness of the wilderness, every flower, every grass, every mountain, every tree is fleeting in the roar of the wind, and even the giant peaks that tower into the sky are passing by in a flash.
It’s so shocking!
"My beloved concubines, I will take you to inspect the asphalt road. If Yang Aiqing and Xu Aiqing complete the work up to standard, I will give you a gift. I guarantee that you will like it very much."
The girls have never been disappointed with Emperor Chu's rewards. When they heard the voice, they all showed expectant expressions on their faces, and their eyes were as tender as water.
When the chariot stopped, Xiao Guizi opened the curtain and informed Emperor Chu that he had arrived at the asphalt road test site.
Jumping off the carriage, Yang Feng and Xu Xiake strode forward with excitement on their faces. It was obvious that the success of the asphalt road allowed them to achieve unprecedented feats.
"Your Majesty, the asphalt road is successful, and my emperor can inspect it at any time!"
Yang Feng stepped forward and bowed and said, while Xu Xiake looked calm behind him. The two of them had different personalities and different pursuits, but they completed the construction of the road together.
Emperor Chu came forward with his daughters and officials, looked at the asphalt road that stretched for thousands of meters, and said: "Yang Aiqing, this asphalt road is not up to standard!"
