Emperor Hongzhi entered the carriage, which was completely different from what he had imagined, and the carriage gave people a comfortable feeling.

The Empress Dowager was already supported and sat down on the sofa.

Emperor Hongzhi sat aside, and Zhu Houzhao had disappeared from that kid.

Fang Jifan felt that he was a little hateful at the moment.

So, he was silent with interest.

But this atmosphere...... It looks a little awkward.

After a few moments, the steam train finally began to tremble.

Emperor Hongzhi was obviously a little frightened, and subconsciously grabbed the handle of the sofa.

The Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at him and said leisurely: "What are you afraid of?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi's face flushed, and he was a little embarrassed.

The shaking in the carriage began to intensify a bit.

Emperor Hongzhi felt even more uneasy in his heart, and his face was a little bad.

However, Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Majesty has taken this car for the first time, and it is natural that you will occasionally feel unwell, Your Majesty, you will get better soon." ”

The train finally began to move, moving very slowly, but the rumbling sound was very amazing, and the sound of the wheel-rail transmission making the Hongzhi Emperor even more thrilled, as if the monster inside began to live.

In the second carriage, Xiao Jing's screams were heard, mixed with the noise.

Of course, no one paid attention to him.

The Empress Dowager sat steadily, with no expression on her face, just a look of relief, which dispelled Emperor Hongzhi's timidity.

You see, such an old lady is so calm, as a son of heaven, how can she be embarrassed and afraid.

Soon, the train began to move gently, first sliding out of the station, and then brightening up outside.

The train began to be under inertia, and with that pitiful momentum, the speed began to pick up.

But no matter how fast it is, it is only a speed of more than 20 kilometers per hour, which is as slow as an ox for Fang Jifan.

But its biggest advantage is that the power continues, and when the animals are tired, the roads will be congested, but the train only needs to follow the railway line, and it has been at this speed, and it can move forward at a constant speed.

Emperor Hongzhi turned his head sideways and saw the skylight outside the window, countless scenes passed by his eyes, and the vibration finally began to gradually become smaller, I don't know if it was a gradual habit, or other reasons.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was full of shock.

"This car...... Why? Emperor Hongzhi finally couldn't help but ask.

Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is His Royal Highness the Prince's perseverance, filial piety, and original intention to seek benefits for the people of the world!" ”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, his face was gloomy, and he glared at Fang Jifan: "Talking about people." ”

Ah, why is this not human words, the Queen Mother loves to listen to this.

Fang Jifan couldn't convert a little, so he took a deep breath and instantly changed from the liberal arts student mode to the science student mode.

"Your Majesty, when the crown prince and his sons checked the boiling water, the pot was heated, and the water produced steam, and the lid of the pot could be lifted, so I realized that the water vapor could actually produce force. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very excited about this, since this water vapor can produce hot gas, and when the lid of the pot is lifted, can more water vapor produce greater force like windmills and waterwheels? ”

"Windmills and waterwheels rely on wind and water power, but these two forces are too dependent on natural conditions, and if God doesn't blow the wind, the windmill will be useless, and if the waterwheel is not built next to the water, the waterwheel will be useless. But the heat can be artificial. In the past few years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his sons have figured out this joint, and have been moving in this direction, recruiting hundreds of craftsmen, spending countless amounts of gold and silver, and reading ancient books at the same time, trying again and again. In the past two years, has Your Majesty found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is more taciturn than before? ”

Emperor Hongji shook his head.

Well, that's kind of embarrassing.

"After a lot of hard work, the problem of using water vapor was finally solved. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince uses coal burning to produce steam, and the steam enters the transmission system along a special pipeline, and the transmission system uses piston movement......"

Fang Jifan kept explaining how the car worked.

In fact, even he himself is half-understood, these jerky and difficult mechanical knowledge, to be honest, is not what Fang Jifan is good at, he is more, just roughly proposing a directional thing.

For the first time, human beings began to use water vapor, or rather, to build a steam train, on the way, in fact, they took countless detours, each detour, which was delayed for several years or even more than ten years, Fang Jifan proposed a direction, and countless of the world's smartest craftsmen, under the leadership of Zhu Houzhao, can work in one direction.

Since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of skilled craftsmen here, not to mention, the previous engineering colleges, and the laying of certain foundations, coupled with the emergence of a large number of Franco-Japanese captives, so that the technology of the East and the West began to spread.

From the middle of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were a large number of missionaries who came here with new technologies, and many scholars and doctors, upholding the attitude of learning, with the help of their knowledge, improved many things.

Fang Jifan tried his best to explain the truth of the steam train in detail.

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized.

At this moment, there was no more fear in his heart.

People are like that, and the sudden appearance of such a terrible monster is terrifying, but once you tell him, what the hell is going on with this thing, oh, I see, it's just a thing that intercepts the steam, like the heat that opens a teapot and uses a lot of heat to make it move.

Emperor Hongzhi's face returned to blood: "It's not easy to make this thing." ”

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and countless craftsmen have spent two or three years of hard work, in order to overcome one difficulty after another, many people can be said to have worked hard, and some people even forgot to sleep and eat. In order to continue to develop, many steel forging techniques have been improved, and modeling methods have been improved...... For many disciplines, improvements have been made. ”

This is no less than the Manhattan Project.

Its advantage lies in the fact that, in order to overcome many difficulties, countless mechanical manufacturing, woodworking, smelting, and many basic disciplines have been greatly developed.

These cutting-edge skills have created a steam locomotive, but in fact, with the help of these, many machines will emerge in the future.

Emperor Hongzhi was still angry, but at this time, being here, the train was still rumbling forward, the noisy noise, and the vibration, perhaps because the body had adapted to it, there was no more fear, no more discomfort, he frowned, at this time, he was shocked: "This car, as long as the rails are laid, it can be driven?" ”

"Yes." Fang Jifan said with a smile: "After the railroad track is laid, you can travel, and you can travel eighty miles in one hour." ”

The speed is 20 kilometers per hour, that is, 40 miles, this speed, in later generations, that is, comparable to the battery car, can win in stability, and there is no traffic jam.

Fang Jifan was not satisfied with such motivation.

But Emperor Hongzhi's feelings were different, and his first reaction was to gasp, as if he was very shocked by this speed.

The problem is that such knights are specially trained, but they need to be constantly transmitted, and can only be used for the transmission of letters.

Fang Jifan said: "However, the biggest use of this car is that it can carry tens of thousands of catties, or even hundreds of thousands of catties." ”

These words directly stunned Emperor Hongzhi.

100,000 catties, not much, that is, only 100 tons, is it a lot?

This train is simply the weak chicken of the train industry.

This load capacity is the load capacity of a train wagon in later generations.

But Emperor Hongzhi was completely shocked.

He was silent, his mind already racing.

That is to say, if you go from the new city to the old city, you can get 100,000 catties of goods, or...... Is it carrying thousands of people, morning and evening? ”

"It's only forty miles away, and it doesn't need to arrive in the morning and evening, that is, half an hour, and it can probably be transported, if it is a passenger transport, it may need to stop halfway, but it is completely enough. Erchen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have already thought that several more trains will be opened on this railway line, and strive to have trains stop at every station every half an hour. ”

Unexpectedly...... It can also be added.

This is the real horror of the volume.

If a car drives back and forth, it is not enough, if it is a number of cars, day and night, the goods and manpower transmission of the new city and the old city, isn't it...... Almost seamless connectivity?

Especially in the old city, it is connected to the canal, and the canal will send countless goods to the old city, and the new city will not take advantage of the convenience of water transportation in the old city.

Not only that, but there is also the movement of people......

Thundered...... Thundered............

The roar of this train was actually in the ears of Emperor Hongzhi, and it was surprisingly pleasant.

Emperor Hongzhi's voice revealed a bit of excitement: "Interesting, interesting, I have never seen such a delicate thing in the world, and it costs ...... to create this thing It's amazing, isn't it? ”

"Not much, from the development to the workshop built for it, to the railroad tracks, and the manufacture of steam locomotives, and the hired manpower, so far, nearly 30 million taels have been spent."

Well, Emperor Hongzhi's face turned blue for a moment.

Silver, thirty million taels, these two damn losers.

Fang Jifan continued: "However, in the future, as long as the rails are laid, the cost will be greatly reduced, and the cost of each mile of rails can be controlled at 13,000 taels of silver. ”

"In addition......" Fang Jifan said happily: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the minister, I forgot to report it, the land of this old city is ......"
