- Hongzhou has been developing continuously for nearly two decades.
In Nanqiu, where the Akakata clan lives, new construction is starting.
Since the steam tractor was put into use for the first time three years ago, improvements to the steam engine have been in progress, such as adding a steam engine to a carriage, or adding a steam engine to a ship, and now, sections of steel have been laid here. The track looks a lot like a carriageway used in the past.
This section of track is not long, and it only leads to the country that hates fire, mainly for coal transportation.
When Wen Ming and others were invited and brought to see this thing by Yuzai, Wenming stared at the usual cast-iron track, stunned for a long time, and then spit out a word that almost made Yuzai laugh.
"Pingdi Bridge."
Yan Zai almost didn't come up in one breath.
What the hell does this have to do with bridges.
Learn a new word and use it everywhere.
The silent I-beam, with an indescribable tenacity, leads straight to the distance. Two steel rails intersect, and finally converge at a point on the horizon, disappear, and connect to the other side of the world.
A large front that is a circle larger than a tractor looks like a round iron barrel placed horizontally on several wheels, and there is a tall chimney at the top of the front.
It is parked at the loading and unloading platform at the end of the railroad track, with some cloth still on its body, and many skilled workers from the equipment factory are overhauling it, and installing some square tub-shaped carriages behind it.
? For the installation, some technology points are released first, and then they can be developed and used slowly. The demand rises with the progress of society. After the front-end technology and social needs are available, it is not afraid that the back-end technology will not be available.
"I have tested it a few times before, and I can't pull too heavy cargo, but the advantage is that it can be transported continuously, day and night. You also know the benefits of steam engines. As long as you have power, you can move continuously. After all, steel objects don't know tired."
"Improvements have been made this time. It is estimated that the cargo load can exceed twelve tons, not counting ten carriages and one hundred passengers."
Yan Zai pointed to the big front of the car and explained Wen Ming.
The steam locomotives in the earliest era were not so huge. Even the first steam locomotive was just an iron locomotive as tall as a person. The track it ran was also very narrow. And the material and shape are exactly the same as the ancient oriental carriages.
Therefore, as long as the carriageway can be built, the basic rails can be made. In the same way, the earliest tracks were actually used on small mine carts in mines, and the shape is not much different from the wooden rails that run along the road.
The load-bearing capacity of natural rails is also necessary. With the gradual improvement of steam locomotives, it is still not possible to replace wooden rails with cast iron in the past. Therefore, "casting" has been changed to "forging", and this rail can withstand the running of steam locomotives.
As for the welding of the rails, it was completed very quickly, so there is no need to worry about its quality. After all, it was welded by Huangdi, the best welder in Hongzhou, wearing a helmet, and also made a wave of endorsements.
On the front of the small steam locomotive, there is also a big advertisement for steam and water.
The steam locomotive tested at this time is nothing more than an improvement of the steam tractor. Its size is not that shocking, nor is it that huge. It is just a little taller than an adultOf course, it cannot be counted. chimney.
And the so-called "cargo box" pulled by the steam locomotive was not the kind of huge carriage that could fill hundreds of people at the earliest time, but just some large "square buckets". On it, goods can be placed in it, and people can also sit in it.
Wen Ming was very surprised. In fact, when he saw the tractor back then, he was already very shocked. It is impossible for such a steamy iron beast to let such a thing out before stepping on the brakes unless its boiler is blown up. stop.
In a sense, many people even gave a new meaning to the steam tractor, praising it for its "brave and fearless" spirit, just like those people gave the lamb the meaning of "benevolence and righteousness".
Šu Zai has the character of benevolence and righteousness to the lambs. In this matter, I very much agree with it. Normal sheep are all benevolent and righteous, but the lambs do not, so I once suggested that the lambs should be expelled from the sheep.
"I don't agree with the statement of endowing bravery with steel, but there is no need to refute it. After all, objectively speaking, steel is fearless. I hope people will be as courageous as steel. It's a good guide."
"Now, the main purpose of building this road is to?Create down the price of transportation. After the cost is reduced, the excess goods can be invested in other areas, and the transportation is convenient, which will also bring a large number of immigrants and population. This thing goes twice from time to time, which can attract many people from primitive tribes to work"
"At that time, in the wilderness of Biyi, a large amount of coal will be mined, and the primitive tribes will need very little wages, and a large number of laborers will pour into the coal mining to earn wealth"
Thus, the germs of capitalism appeared, along with exploitation and oppression.
This is something that must be faced in the course of history, but now, this small steam locomotive cannot carry such a huge capital desire. It can carry only ten carriages of coal.
The test began soon. Under the eager anticipation of many leaders in Hongzhou, the workers stuffed fuel into the boiler¡ªJiaojiao.
The train conductor Jiao Jiao said that it was time to start the train, and then his forehead and buttocks burst into flames, sticking to the small window of the boiler, and his eyes kept looking outside.
When I get out of the boiler burnt, I will burn you all.
"Why use coke, you can use normal coal."
"The main reason is that Jiaojiao will make the boiler start up faster, and it likes it anyway."
Jiao Jiao's characteristics are smoke and scorched earth, and he doesn't reject things like coal mines at all. Jiao Jiao even thinks that after absorbing yang energy, Gugu can super-evolve through continuous explosions, so the ones that can produce smoke and fire crows Coal mines might be the key to their own evolution.
After a short wait, a lot of steam came out of the long chimney, and with a long hum, the small train began to carry, and all ten carriages were filled with stones.
The train was running along the rails, its speed was not fast, and the surrounding soldiers could even run with it at first.
Gradually, its speed is getting faster and faster, running can no longer catch up, of course the exception is the totem warrior
"Ooooh! This time I ran faster than before!"
Padfoot stepped into the soil on the side, and the totem warriors seemed to compare their speed and strength with the train. At this moment, Yan Zai and others who were sitting in the carriage at the back all thought of a classic scene . Kuafu chasing the sun.
Are you guys running with the little train, are you testing the limit speed of the human body?
