Qin An, Li Qiye and Song Zhi, as the top ministers of the empire, naturally knew what to ask and what not to ask.
Since the emperor Chen Ziang brought them here, they will soon know what this arsenal does, and they are also full of expectations for it.
Since they followed the emperor Chen Ziang, although they have been around for a long time, they still can't see through Chen Ziang, so they are also in awe of Chen Ziang.
"Lan Wenyao, head of the Seventh Arsenal, pays homage to His Majesty, long live my emperor!"
After Chen Ziang and the others passed through the checkpoints, they arrived at a large manor, where a person wearing a seventh-rank official uniform had already been waiting here.
"Lan Aiqing, get back down." Chen Ziang waved his hands.
After the ordinary-looking general manager of the Seventh Arsenal, Lan Wenyao, stood up straight, he bowed his hands to Li Qiye and others.
"The humble position has seen you adults."
Li Qiye and the others also bowed their hands in return, not daring to take it too seriously.
Especially Qin An, chief of the Ministry of Officials, who is in charge of the transfer and appointment of officials all over the world. This Lan Wenyao is a seventh-rank official, but he doesn't have the slightest impression.
Let him also realize that it is estimated that Chen Ziang personally appointed him, and he is directly responsible to Chen Ziang.
"I heard that you have already researched that thing?"
After the two parties greeted each other, Chen Ziang was the first to speak.
"Thanks to your majesty, we have passed the blueprint provided by your majesty, and after repeated tests, it is now ready to use." Lan Wenyao, the manager, said happily.
Chen Ziang also showed joy on his face, and said impatiently: "Take me to have a look."
"Please also invite Your Majesty and the adults here."
Lan Wenyao stretched out his hand and made a please.
Under the leadership of Lan Wenyao, Chen Ziang and his group passed through corridors, and soon arrived at a heavily guarded open space.
In this open space, a narrow track was laid out, and on the track, an iron lump stood on it, still steaming hot.
Seeing this ugly thing, Chen Ziang's breathing became short, and he walked forward quickly.
Li Qiye and the others frowned. They didn't know what it was, but Chen Ziang, who was not showing any emotion, was so excited.
The reason why Chen Ziang was excited was nothing else, because this thing was epoch-making.
This steam engine can convert the energy of steam into reciprocating kinetic energy, which was used as kinetic energy in the original train.
"Can you move?"
Chen Zi'ang carefully looked up and down the steam locomotive with relatively rough workmanship, and asked Lan Wenyao, the supervisor.
"Report to His Majesty, it can be activated." Lan Wenyao nodded.
Following Lan Wenyao's order, dozens of craftsmen from the arsenal also moved quickly.
Not long after, the front of the steam locomotive was converted by steam power, the piston pushed the connecting rod, and the wheels moved slowly.
"Your Majesty, what is this thing that can be moved without using livestock?"
Seeing the steam locomotive slowly moving forward along the hundreds of meters long railroad track, Qin An and the others gasped.
Because they had never seen such a scene, a Tuijie ran up by himself, they thought they encountered a ghost in broad daylight.
"This is called a steam locomotive." Chen Ziang said proudly.
"The specific principle is that the heat of combustion makes the water generate steam, and then pushes the piston to move through the pressure" Chen Ziang explained.
Hearing Chen Ziang's explanation, not to mention Qin An and Li Qiye, even Song Zhi, the head of the Ministry of Industry, was confused, and his hearing was clouded.
"In the future, our track can be laid from the northern part of the empire to the southern border of the empire. With this steam locomotive as the power, we can transport hundreds of thousands of troops from north to south in a short time."
"And this can not only transport troops, but also transport goods and passengers"
If it was what Chen Ziang said in the past, Li Qiye and others probably thought that Chen Ziang had lost his mind.
But now they saw that there were no horses or oxen pulling, and the iron lump was running along the railroad tracks by itself. They also admired Chen Ziang, and they didn't expect that there was such a thing in the world.
"Do you know what this is?"
ChenLi Ang picked up a piece of black coal and said to Li Qiye and the others.
"Isn't this the black stone that Gu Xingteng and the others seized from the barbarian area?" Li Qiye remembered it clearly.
"That's right, this one isn't actually called a black stone, it's called a coal stone."
"Our steam locomotive burns this thing to generate heat, and boils water to generate steam."
"It is actually produced in our Yunxi Mansion, but the quantity is not large."
"But there are quite a few of these things in the barbarian area now. As long as we occupy the barbarian area, then these things will all belong to our Far Eastern Empire."
"As long as there are a lot of coal stones like this, we will have a source of energy, and we can build our railways to the north and south of the river"
After hearing what Chen Ziang said, Li Qiye and others also realized why Chen Ziang wanted to set up the Anxi Town Guard Mansion.
It turned out that what Chen Ziang valued was not the vast area of ??the barbarian area, but the coal stone.
"Go, you also go up and experience our steam train."
Chen Ziang invited Li Qiye and others to board the steam train developed by their Far East Empire, so that they could feel the new power.
Li Qiye and others saw that Chen Ziang climbed up. Although they were a little afraid of him, they still gritted their teeth and went up.
As many coals were thrown into the locomotive's stove, a large amount of steam was generated, and soon the steam train started to move slowly along the rails.
Although there is some noise, the rails are quite stable. Li Qiye and others ride on it without the slightest sense of bumps. They are also amazed.
However, this is just a test site, and the entire track is circular, with a distance of only a few hundred meters.
However, after taking the ride in person, Li Qiye and the others were also greatly shocked.
Especially when they heard from Chen Ziang that once they drove at high speed, it would only take a few days for them to reach the western provinces, they were also surprised and speechless.
If this thing can run, then they will really save time and effort in the future, and the remote barbarian areas in the past are really nothing.
"This thing is the secret of our Far East Empire, I hope you can keep it secret."
After getting off the steam train, Chen Ziang also told Li Qiye and others to prevent them from leaking the secret.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will keep the secret!"
Li Qiye and the others were also greatly shocked. They didn't expect Chen Ziang to come up with this advanced thing. They were also very excited and hurriedly declared their position to keep it a secret.
"I have decided to build a railway to the south of the Yangtze River. The Ministry of Industry is in charge of this matter. As long as the road is completed, the grain, cloth, etc. from the south can be continuously transported to the imperial capital, saving a lot of manpower and material resources. "Chen Ziang said.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, our Ministry of Industry must mobilize manpower and material resources to give priority to the construction of this railway."
"It's just that we don't know anything about construction, so we will ask Manager Lan and the others to give us some advice." Song Zhi, the director of the Ministry of Industry, also said sincerely.
Song Zhi naturally realized that this thing had epoch-making significance for the empire, but he still didn't know anything about the principle and how to build it.
? In order to avoid delaying things, he still sincerely hopes to get technical guidance from Lan Wenyao, the general manager of the Seventh Armory Factory (remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
