Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Chapter 534: Lu Pingzhi and Lu Ping chatted for a while and briefly talked about Lu Zhishen's performance. Lu Ping was very relieved and grateful for his happiness.  "

    "Mr. Lu, don't blame yourself for now, let's take a look before talking about it?" Gao Xing waved his hand, stood up with a gentle smile.

    "Yes, young prince, please come with me." Lu Ping responded and made an invitation gesture to Gao Xing.

    Under the guidance of Lu Ping, Gao Xing walked along the secluded path, twisting and turning, towards the place where Lu Ping worked.

    The outermost part of the base is the base of the dragon group, and further inside is the living area of ??the craftsmen. The innermost part is the experimental site, which is also the most extensive part.  The experimental area is divided into separate courtyards, which are closed and quiet.  Lu Ping's work area is located in the deepest part of the castle and is also the largest courtyard.

    ¡°Tu tu tu tu¡­¡±

    As soon as the sheltered door was pushed open, a strong noise suddenly came from the courtyard.  Hearing the shocking, familiar but almost forgotten voice, Gao Xing suddenly stopped in his tracks, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

    "This is" Gao Xing looked at Lu Ping doubtfully. After seeing the latter's affirmative gaze, Gao Xing couldn't help but breathe a little faster. Although it was only a short moment, it was also clear that he was excited.

    Taking a deep breath, Gao Xing pushed the door in with firm steps. From a distance, he saw a huge black thing in the center of the yard. Below it was a straight track that extended hundreds of meters away. Above his head, there was spitting water.  The billowing smoke gives people a strong shock, and the "chugging" sound full of pressure, like the roar of a wild beast, comes from this.

    Although this behemoth looked very bulky and rough in workmanship, Gao Gao recognized it at a glance as the locomotive. It was a locomotive driven by a steam engine.

    "Little Prince, according to your instructions, I gathered two hundred craftsmen and it took eighteen months to cast this train. Please inspect it!" Lu Ping took a step behind and pointed at the locomotive.  Said, although his voice was calm, the joy and pride in his eyes could not be concealed.

    Looking at the black smoke curling up from the top of the motorcycle, my happy eyes couldn't help but feel a little confused.  It has been four years since he came to this world, and he has become familiar with this era where "travel is entirely dependent on walking, and communication is entirely dependent on roaring." Now, familiar and unfamiliar trains and locomotives suddenly appeared in front of him, and memories of his previous life came flooding back. He was happy  My thoughts couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

    "Little prince, why don't you try on that train?" Lu Ping's voice interrupted Gao Xing's thoughts. Gao Gao glanced at him, nodded and said, "Okay, let's see the fruits of your labor, let's go!"

    With that said, Gao Xingben headed towards the motorcycle first. Lu Ping quickly followed and shouted at the same time: "Chun'er, come out quickly, I have seen the young prince!"

    "Hey, here we come, Master!"

    Hearing Lu Ping's voice, a thin black figure emerged from the train. It was a thin boy, about eleven or twelve years old, wearing coarse black clothes, and his face was covered with soot and black paint.  Painted, but his eyes are as bright as stars, and they are spinning around constantly. At first glance, he is a clever and clever person.

    "This is the pleasure of the Prince of Sui, the Duke of Peiping, the general of chariots and cavalry, and the young prince. If you don't hurry up and come over to see me, you really don't know the etiquette!" Lu Ping saw the young man turning his eyes and looking up and down at Happy, and immediately straightened his face and said in a tone of voice  It was very harsh, with a hint of reproach.

    "Ah!" The young lady exclaimed softly, quickly jumped off the motorcycle, and came to Gao Xing in three steps and two steps at a time, as dexterously as a monkey.  As soon as the young man bowed to the ground, he said respectfully but fearfully: "Li Chun, a common man, comes to see the young prince. Please forgive me for my slightness!"

    "Li Chun?" Hearing this name, he couldn't help but feel happy, and his right hand that was originally intended to signal the young man to get up could not help but freeze in the air.  Li Chun's name is no stranger to happiness. He built the famous Zhaozhou Bridge (Anji Bridge) that has existed for more than 1,400 years, and Li Chun's reputation has been passed down through the ages.

    "No need to be polite, stay flat!" Gao Gao was stunned for a moment and then regained his composure. He slightly stretched out his hand to signal Li Chun to get up.  Not to mention whether this Li Chun is the same Li Chun, besides, he is no longer a newbie here, and he is not much shocked to see historical celebrities.

    "Thank you, young prince!" Li Chun kowtowed respectfully, then stood up, with a smile on his small dark face, and curiosity and awe in his smart eyes.

    "Little prince wants to try the train, go and get ready!" Lu Ping gave a serious order, and then explained happily: "Little prince, this child is a scoundrel. He was originally an orphan. The little old man saw that he was pitiful and well-behaved.  , so I took it with me."

    "The little guy is pretty good, very smart!" Gao Gao said with a kind smile as he watched Li Chun nimbly get into the motorcycle.  Although Li Chun was still unknown at this time, his smartHis ecstasy and extraordinary courage show his extraordinary talent.

    Lu Ping chuckled "hehe", obviously because he was happy to praise Li Chun. After a pause, Lu Ping said respectfully: "Little prince, please get in the car!"

    "Okay!" He replied happily, his originally calm mood became slightly excited.  The last time I took a train was four years ago, but my happiness felt like a thousand years ago.

    Climbing onto the train, there was a sudden rush of heat accompanied by the pungent smell of soot, but it came from the blazing stove on the locomotive. The thin Li Chun was adding coal to the stove with a small shovel.

    "Master, everything is ready, we can start!" Li Chun put down the shovel and said with a heavy breath.  As he spoke, he wiped the sweat off his face with his hands, making his smile look even brighter, but his big eyes became brighter.  How could he not be excited to be able to show the fruits of his labor to the young prince in person?

    "Okay!" Lu Ping nodded heavily, then came to the console, took a deep breath, and then solemnly and slowly turned the control handle.  There is no room for Lu Ping to be disrespectful. If something goes wrong in front of Gao Xing, more than a year of hard work will be wasted, and it will be a breach of Gao Xing's trust.

    "Thud, tug, tug, tug!"

    Amidst the rapid and loud roar, the locomotive slowly began to vibrate, and became more and more violent, as if a sleeping beast was about to wake up. Finally, the locomotive moved. Although the speed was slow, it moved forward along the track persistently and firmly.  Drive away.

    Looking at the scenery passing by on both sides, Gao Xing showed a satisfied and happy smile on his face.  Lu Ping was able to successfully cast this thing, which was worthy of his trust and invested huge financial and material resources for his use.

    "Mr. Lu, in your opinion, how long will it take to put the train into use?" After getting off the train, he happily rubbed the hard and cold rails on the ground and asked with some hope.

    Lu Ping frowned, thought for a moment, and then replied with some hesitation: "Little Prince, although the train has been successfully cast, the conditions are not yet mature to really put it into use. Not to mention that the train needs to lay tracks, and there are more tracks along the way.  It is necessary to set up stations for adding coal and water, and the train is slow, so the cost of using it to transport goods is not low."

    Hearing this, his happy and hot heart suddenly became colder. What Lu Ping said is true. It is precisely because of many reasons that there were decades between the invention of the train and its actual use.

    "But there is no need to be impatient, young prince. With your guidance, this train can go to many places. Based on the current progress, it is expected to be put into use in another two years."

    "Oh? That's great. Mr. Laolu has everything." He stood up happily and looked at Lu Ping sincerely.  Two years is neither short nor long. After all, Rome was not built in a day.

    "Don't worry, little prince, I will do my best." Lu Ping solemnly promised, paused, and then said: "Little prince, we have successfully cast the gun you mentioned, but the accuracy and range are still not up to par.  In response to your request, especially the manufacturing of bullets is very difficult, not only slow, but also very dangerous, and more than a dozen craftsmen have been injured by gunpowder."

    Gao Xing frowned and said with some seriousness: "Slowness doesn't matter, safety is the most important. Every craftsman here is precious, and none of them can be lost. You must be careful when experimenting, and everyone is the most important thing."

    "Yes, little prince." Lu Ping looked moved and happy.  Scholars, farmers, industrialists and merchants were the most humble in the eyes of outsiders, but Gao Xing gave them rare respect and love.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, take me to see your other achievements.¡± He smiled happily and nodded.

    Next, under the leadership of Lu Ping, Gao Xing tested the experimental results of more than a year in the base.

    Glad to have brought a lot of hard-tested theoretical knowledge to the world, which saved Lu Ping and others countless hours of exploration. They only need to experiment, verify, and then create finished products and put them into use.  Therefore, it is not unusual for Lu Ping to cast a train. There are also two experimental generators, but it will take time to put them into use.

    "Compared with trains and generators, what Gao Xing cares about most is guns. If these can be mass-produced, it will not be a fantasy to sweep the world in one year.  However, due to the limited precision technology, powerful guns are still in the experimental stage, and the power of the guns that can be put into use is really unsatisfactory, and they have not yet reached the point of turning the tide in the war.

    When I happily left the base, it was the evening three days later, and the sky was already slightly dark.  For three days, Gao Gao and the master craftsmen in the base almost never slept, discussing various kinds of knowledge in depth.  Although Gao Xing did not conduct in-depth research on many things, he was very knowledgeable and the direction he gave was of immense and far-reaching significance to the research of Lu Ping and others.

    When I came, I was happy with the breeze in my sleeves, but when I left, I had something more in my hands.A pistol.  The shape of the pistol is similar to a Mauser military pistol (box gun, shell gun), the gun body is very wide, and it seems a bit rough and ugly to Gao Xing, who is used to the compact firearms of later generations. However, this is the result of Lu Ping's hard work for a year, and it was polished by hand.  Become.  The magazine is loaded with twenty rounds, the effective range is from fifty meters to eighty meters, and it can shoot continuously. It is really a must-have weapon for self-defense when going out, killing people and stealing goods.

    Because it was made by Lu Ping, he was so happy that he named it after Lu Ping. Lu Ping was so excited that his eyes filled with tears and he was full of energy.
