"Where is the cultivation?" Bai Chen's eyes widened, and he looked at Wei Rufeng with some consternation.

"It has been repaired to Bailiu Prefecture in your province. Wei Rufeng said.

"That's a fast speed, how many people did you use?"

In less than half a year, the railway has been built from the capital to Bailiuzhou, which is a distance of 6,000 miles.

"Some time ago, the grassland snowstorm was severe, and many refugees ran to the border, but His Majesty incorporated them all into the engineering team, which numbered more than 600,000 people. ”

Bai Chen smiled bitterly, 600,000 people! This is twice the number of people in Tianwang Mountain, no wonder the road is being built so quickly.

"This time, the imperial court has invested a lot of money to build this railway, but Your Majesty and I haven't seen the fire dragon car in your mouth yet, you can take out something to show me, let me feel at ease." ”

"Ah...... I haven't made anything yet. ”

When Wei Rufeng heard Bai Chen's words, he almost didn't reach the ground: "My lord, you can't scare me so much, for this project, the imperial court has invested billions of taels of silver, and it has also absorbed so many refugees, which consumes tens of millions of taels every day." ”

"Don't worry, you just need to repair the road, I'll stay in the capital for a few days, block the entrance to the capital for me, and I'll go inside for a few days." ”

"Okay, you do your best, but what else do you want?"

"Call someone from the Tang Sect to give me a hand. ”

"No problem. ”

Since listening to Bai Chen's words and stepping up cooperation with the major sects in the rivers and lakes, the current imperial court has become much more enlightened.

According to Bai Chen's idea, it is better to be blocked than to be sparse. In the past, the imperial court treated people in the rivers and lakes. They are all heavy punishments. And now the treatment of the people in the rivers and lakes is more about letting the people in the rivers and lakes manage themselves.

In the past, when people from the rivers and lakes joined the public gate, they became eagle dogs, but now it is not the case, and many cases that are difficult for people in the public to handle will be handed over to special departments for handling.

Tang Xuantian was also in the capital, and after he heard that Bai Chen had come to the capital again, he immediately rushed to the entrance of the station in a hurry.

Tang Xuantian still remembers. When he first came into contact with that kid, he was still disdainful of that kid, thinking that this kid was only thanks to his father's shadow, but after contact, he realized that this kid in front of him was no worse than his father.

In the eyes of the little prince of the flowers, the tricks of the Tang Sect are not in the stream, and in the eyes of this kid, the tricks of their Tang Sect are still not in the stream, and they can be criticized by that kid every time. But it's also a great benefit every time.

"How is the little prince doing?" Tang Xuantian's face was ruddy, and his face was full of red light. Looks like he's in a pretty good mood.

"It's fine. Bai Chen glanced at a few Tang Sect disciples behind Tang Xuantian, a few of them were familiar, but most of them were still relatively familiar.

"Master Tang is polite, the kid is a hard-working man, running around for a living. Bai Chen said with a sigh.

Tang Xuantian couldn't help but roll his eyes, if this kid could work hard for his livelihood, then he should go to the street to beg for food.

Others don't know what this kid is capable of, but he and many people in the Tang Sect do.

Although their contact with Bai Chen was the highest level of top secret, and even if they were from the same sect, they were not allowed to spread it, but they were also the people who knew Bai Chen best.

For example, when arranging the film and television screen, they were an assistant for Bai Chen.

"Master Tang, remember me...... What did my father say to you back then?" Bai Chen looked at Tang Xuantian and said seriously.

Tang Xuantian was stunned, Bai Chen had said so many things to him, how did he know which sentence this kid meant.

"At the beginning, my father said that if the Tang Sect can make good use of its advantages, it will be okay to double the strength of the Sect. ”

Tang Xuantian really remembered Bai Chen's words, but then he kept groping, but he didn't know where to start.

Later, this kid made such a big disturbance in the capital, Tang Xuantian could be regarded as having a clue, but letting Tang Men do all kinds of mysterious things like this kid is obviously embarrassing for them.

"Now, the kid is going to do something about the people of the world, so he can only wronged the Tang Sect and the senior brothers to do a bit of coolies. Bai Chen said.

In Tang Xuantian's impression, everything this kid made seemed to be about the people of the world.

"This thing is very important, it can be said that the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties and the prosperity of the people all depend on this thing. ”

Tang Xuantian's heart began to beat faintly, and it was obvious that Bai Chen's words made him feel that he was participating in an incredible project at the moment.

"Senior brother, who is this kid, who is he talking in such a loud tone?"

"Shut up for me. The two Tang Sect disciples were muttering quietly, and one of the latter glared angrily at the person in front of him.

Obviously, this senior brother of the Tang Sect knew Bai Chen, and he believed Bai Chen's words very much.

This junior brother of mine really doesn't know the severity, if he is kicked out of this project because of his words, I am afraid that he will have to wash his face with tears for the rest of his life.

"Little prince, we will do whatever you say. "Tang Xuantian is very clear about his position, there is no shame in being a coolie, anyway, this is not the first time.

If you can steal something from this project, you will earn it, and if you don't steal it, you can also let this kid help solve some problems afterwards.

Modern civilization depends on transportation capacity to a large extent, and the technological civilization of this world obviously cannot be compared with the earth.

However, it cannot be said that it is completely behind the earth, at least, in terms of the application of energy, the world is already very advanced.

The combination of the martial array and the mechanism array, as well as the special beast Neidan, these things have developed an alternative technological civilization.

At the same time, there are many special metals and special technological means in this world, which are incomparable to the scientific and technological civilization on the earth.

In fact, the structure of the train is not complicated, whether it is an old-fashioned steam train or a new type of bullet train in the back.

Bai Chen was not in a hurry to make the train, but spent two days drawing the map.

Bai Chen believes that with the skills he has mastered, it is not a problem to create a super train, and there is no longer a problem with strong power, and what really needs to be solved is stability and staying power.

It doesn't matter if it's a truck. The load is large enough for the wagon to run smoothly on the tracks.

But passenger vans are different. It needs to have higher stability and security.

In fact. With the technological civilization of the 21st century on the earth, the train can still run faster, just for safety, so the speed of the train is deliberately reduced to improve safety.

"Rubik's Cube, help me do the math. "Bai Chen: In many cases, some sophisticated calculations have to be handed over to the supercomputer of the Rubik's Cube.

"What are you going to calculate?"

"I needed to design a passenger train, but in terms of stability. The amount of work is too large, and what I need is a balance between speed and stability. ”

"How fast are you going to go?"

"If the kinetic energy is maximized at the level I have so far, the train should be able to drag 300 tons of objects at a speed of at least 500 kilometers per hour. ”

"Five hundred kilometers?"

Five hundred kilometers, that is, even if you run from the southernmost part of the Hantang Dynasty to the northernmost part, it will not take a day and a half.

Even the fastest trains on the planet have an average speed of no more than 400 kilometers.

However, the earth is limited by the level of science and technology, and in this regard. This world doesn't have that problem.

Now the biggest problem is the stability of the train itself, if the stability is not enough. It is very easy to cause derailment, and the derailment of a passenger train can cause quite serious casualties.

Therefore, while pursuing speed, stability is essential.

"It's just 500 kilometers of difficulty, take Luo Titanium, Luo Titanium's own wear resistance is ten times higher than the ordinary just now, and then in the front and rear of the car, are arranged with a gravity stabilization device, increase the stability of the body, at the same time, the design of the front of the car is best streamlined, which is conducive to reducing air resistance, in fact, many details can be a small amount of stability can be improved, these details have been done, then the overall stability of the dìng is improved. ”

The Rubik's Cube paused, and then added: "Also, the track drawings you designed earlier, and it was very prescient to increase the rail chassis in advance. ”

In Bai Chen's memory, the ordinary railroad tracks on the earth are about 1.5 meters, but in order to conform to his initial idea, Bai Chen deliberately increased the width of the rails to 2 meters. (The standard distance of the rails is actually 1435 mm, which is the least suitable distance for wearing the wheels, but the plot needs to ignore it a little.) ）

......

Compared with the calm on Bai Chen's side, the court has already fallen out.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the laying of the railway, many ministers pointed out that this was a waste of the imperial court's financial resources.

Although the tax revenue of the Han and Tang Dynasties is increasing day by day, the money for laying railways is also a lot.

Although this project was made possible by the strong support of the old emperor, Wei Xiang and Ding Shan.

However, these three have never given an accurate purpose, which makes those ministers who oppose it question again and again.

After all, even the old emperor himself was not completely sure, and he spent billions of taels of silver, which was almost equivalent to the total tax revenue of the Han and Tang dynasties in the previous years, but the old emperor still resolutely and firmly supported it, and this way of dealing with it naturally could not satisfy those ministers.

Especially for such a big project, they or the family behind them can't interfere in a piece of the pie, and they can't give up.

Every time the ministers questioned the old emperor and Wei Rufeng, what was the purpose of the railway that had been laid with so much financial resources, the old emperor adopted the method of delaying and prevaricating.

It's just that recently, with the completion of the first phase of the project, the second phase of the project is in full swing, and those courtiers can no longer sit still.

The old emperor's decision cannot be stopped, at least they should be allowed to participate.

But the old emperor just gritted his teeth and refused to let go.

"Your Majesty, although the national strength of the Han and Tang Dynasties is gradually increasing, but it has not reached the point where it can be squandered at will, laying a meaningless railway, and the carriages cannot go on it, and it is necessary to mobilize half of the steel production of the Han and Tang Dynasties, which is completely a disaster for the country and the people! Woe to the country and the people!!Your Majesty, do you know how many soldiers there were in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and they were still holding weapons that were eliminated more than ten years ago? If these were used to cast weapons just now, how much could the combat power of the Han and Tang Dynasties be enhanced?"

An old minister shouted indignantly, he was Taishi Leng Yin, don't look at him so righteous and awe-inspiring, in fact, he was still fighting for the interests of the cast iron door behind him.

He is the uncle of the cast iron door owner, Leng Ao, the last time the cast iron door broke out smuggling weapons and sold them to Hu Fan, he was the one who protected the cast iron door by himself.

Since that incident, the imperial court has interrupted the steel that was originally sold cheaply to the cast iron door, resulting in heavy losses for the cast iron door.

Originally, the cast iron gate and the Tibetan Sword Villa had always been in a competitive and advantageous position, but because of the imperial court's deliberate suppression, and because of the bombing and propaganda of the newspapers, the prestige of the cast iron gate plummeted.

On the other hand, the Tibetan Sword Villa, because of the success of the funeral sword team, so that the Tibetan Sword Villa itself has also risen, and because the weapons shop jointly established by the Tibetan Sword Villa and the imperial court has covered the north and south of the river, for a time, whether it is ordinary people or people in the rivers and lakes, down to kitchen knives and axes, up to killing weapons, they must recognize the weapons of the Tibetan Sword Villa.

Now that Leng Yin has finally caught the handle of the old emperor, he will naturally not let it go lightly.

As long as the old emperor can't give him a satisfactory answer, he will keep holding on to this matter.

And in his opinion, laying the so-called railway is to bring disaster to the country and the people, no matter what car runs on it, not only will it not speed up, but it will greatly reduce the speed because of the bumps.

What is that kind of road repair for? Not to mention the huge amount of financial and manpower, it also consumes a lot of steel.

Therefore, Leng Yin united a lot of courtiers who were blushing because they didn't get a share of the benefits, and carried out round after round of offensive against the old emperor.

"I just told you, can you understand?" In fact, the old emperor himself didn't know what the purpose of the railway was, and now he only hoped that Bai Chen would give the results as soon as possible, so that he could relieve some of the pressure.

"Your Majesty, you didn't say how do you know that the old minister doesn't understand?"

"You ......" The old emperor blushed: "I don't argue with you, I have made up my mind, this matter has been decided, and I will continue to entangle in this matter." ”

"Your Majesty!" Leng Yin suddenly knelt in the middle of the court: "If Your Majesty can't give Weichen a satisfactory answer, the old minister will kneel here." As soon as Leng Yin knelt down like this, other people from the same faction also knelt down.

There were more than 20 courtiers in this row, and the old emperor suddenly stood up from the dragon chair.

"Leng Yin, don't force me!!"

"The old minister is not forcing His Majesty, the old minister just wants to know the answer. ”

The old emperor can't help it, in the court, the ministers don't need to kneel even if they go to the court, kneeling in the court, either asking for guilt or admonishing him to death, Leng Yin obviously intends to force him to death, and he has long colluded with other ministers.

The old emperor looked at Wei Rufeng, Wei Rufeng closed his eyes, out of sight, but the old emperor was annoyed, this matter was not his business alone, Wei Rufeng made it clear that it was not his own attitude.

Four days ago, Wei Rufeng said that the boy from the stone was back, and there would be a reply within five days, so in the past few days, Wei Rufeng has been abnormal, no matter how fierce the court is about this matter, he just closes his eyes and recuperates.

"Yo, this is a death admonition, right?" An inopportune voice sounded, Bai Chen swaggered in from outside, and glanced at the ministers on the ground: "I haven't seen a death admonition yet, it's really eye-opening." (To be continued......)
