Chapter 1044: Test run of the train
"Okay, remember to inform me when you try it, I must go and see this!" Zhao Feng nodded, it seems that the speed of the blacksmith shop is still very fast!
"Yes!" Jia Xu bowed respectfully to Zhao Feng.
"Meng De's family should have all moved to Liaodong, right?" Zhao Feng asked.
"Yes, I have already lived in the original Taishou Mansion!" Jia Xu nodded.
"Okay over there, you go do things first, remember to notify me when the trial run!" Zhao Feng waved his hand.
"Retire!" Jia Xu left, and only Zhao Feng was left in the hall.
"It's really boring, when the trial run is over, I must go out again!" Zhao Feng sighed helplessly and said, he now realized the helplessness of the emperor.
But what does Zhao Feng want to go out for? Naturally, according to what he said before, he personally purged those spies who had betrayed or were originally sent by Sima Yi! There are some hidden good ones, and only Zhao Feng can see them, and he has no choice but to do so, Zhao Feng still needs to work hard to get rid of these spies and traitors!
But all this is not a problem for Zhao Feng, after all, Zhao Feng knows that those are the enemy, can he still escape? Now Zhao Feng was thinking about who he should take out.
……
Two days later, the commissioning of the train has been completed and it is ready for trial operation, and all aspects and links have been carried out very carefully, so there should be no problems.
Zhao Feng came to the site of the trial operation as promised, that is, the place where the railway station will be built in the future.
Originally, everyone was not in favor of Zhao Feng boarding the train, in case something happened to this thing, then what should they do? There's no place to cry!
But Zhao Feng ignored everyone's dissuasion, how could he not take the opportunity to take the train for the first time after returning from the crossing? As for the danger? It doesn't exist, as long as the craftsmen make it exactly according to the drawings he gave, then there must be no problem! Taking 10,000 steps back, even if there is really any danger, with Zhao Feng's strength, if you want to escape, there is no problem at all!
Therefore, Zhao Feng is not worried at all, what Zhao Feng is worried about is whether this train can really run successfully? How great would it be if it could really work successfully? But if it fails, it's no joke! He was able to escape, but what about others? There is no way to escape!
But now, anyway, a test run is a must, so I can't do so much! Zhao Feng and several craftsmen boarded the train, as for Cao Cao, he also wanted to get on the train together, but Zhao Feng did not agree, helplessly, Cao Cao could only watch Zhao Feng board the train on the platform.
"Woo~~!" Like the sound of a modern train starting, then the train moved slowly, and under the gaze of everyone, the train left Xiangping.
Because it is only a trial run, the terminal station is set in Liaoxi, this section of the distance is not close, it is not far, there are more than 200 kilometers that is almost 450 miles.
The train ran faster and faster, Zhao Feng nodded slightly, it can be said that this or the manufacturing is very successful, according to the speed of later generations, Zhao Feng estimated that the maximum speed can reach 70 kilometers per hour!
The short distance of 200 kilometers took less than two hours to arrive, if it was changed to before, even if it was changed to a maxima, I never dared to think of such a speed!
"There's nothing wrong with the front and back of the train, right?" Master Wang had just led the apprentices to check back and forth, and Zhao Feng asked.
"No problem, everything is fine!" Master Wang said excitedly.
To be honest, just before the trial run, Master Wang never thought that this train would be so successful, and the speed would be so fast, such a speed, even two horses together can't run! The main thing is that this train is completely automatic, without the slightest human power in it! It can be said to be a miracle, if it were changed to the past, who said that a group of people could be transported in a few hours without manpower and livestock, thousands of miles away, then he would not believe it if he killed Master Wang!
Now, he finally saw the train in Zhao Feng's mouth, which is really a great invention! Apart from greatness, Master Wang can't think of any other adjectives!
"Well, you've done a great job this time, without you, this train would never have been possible! So all of you in the Ministry of Works, this time there is a reward! Zhao Feng said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" Master Wang said excitedly.
"It doesn't have to be like this, you get up first!" Zhao Feng waved his hand and said, "After I go back this time, we will put the train into production, and then we can engage in transportation, transportation, we can do it, and when the time comes, the railway alone, the profit will be not small!" ”
"Yes!" Master Wang nodded, before he just thought that Zhao Feng should only make this railway for military use, but he didn't expect Zhao Feng to develop into a civilian one!
"By the way, the railways erected now are all military railways, which are the shortest distances, and in the future, they will be erected for civilian use, and strive to reach every city!" Zhao Feng said his goal, anyway, he is now the richest man in China, and he doesn't care about these investments, not to mention, once the train becomes a necessary means of transportation for people to travel, the profit is much greater than the investment!
"Yes......!" Master Wang was shocked by Zhao Feng's words, and nodded a little blankly.
"Okay, these things can't be done in a day or two, you still have to take your time, when the time comes, you can discuss it with Cheng Yu and Gu Yong, just get it as soon as possible!" Zhao Feng smiled slightly, these things were not in a hurry, so he was not in a hurry.
"By the way, there's one more thing I want to ask you!" Zhao Feng suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, but it doesn't hurt to ask." Master Wang's expression was grim, and he said.
"Don't be so solemn!" Zhao Feng smiled bitterly, and then said, "Can our industrial technology draw copper now?" ”
"Copper wire drawing ......," Master Wang frowned and considered, "It's hard to say, but we can pull out the gold wire, it should be similar to the copper wire, right?" ”
"What? Can you really pull out the gold wire? Zhao Feng was pleasantly surprised, according to the melting point alone, the melting point of copper is only 20 degrees higher than gold, so it should not be a problem to be able to draw gold into wire temperature conditions, but the most important thing is to consider the hardness and toughness, so copper wire is still more difficult to pull than gold wire!
"Not bad! We were able to pull out the gold wire! Master Wang was stunned by Zhao Feng's performance.
"Well, let's experiment when you go back and see if you can draw copper into wire!" Zhao Feng nodded and commanded.
"Yes!" Master Wang responded, although he didn't know what the copper wire was for, but Zhao Feng's order, he had to do it!
