Chapter 436 Accident Occurred
"Whew!"
The train full of goods rumbled and roared with a loud sound like earth-shattering, running forward through the mountains and mountains, thick green smoke soaring into the sky, and the scenery on both sides continued to rush towards the rear.
This train from Chang'an was loaded with thousands of stone supplies and nearly a thousand people, and it did not stop all night in order to transport these materials to Taiyuan, so that the Huaxia army could confront the Yuan army.
At this time, the sky is bright, and the sun in the distance is only showing its first rays.
The people on the train also leaned on their seats with their eyes closed, their heads bobbing with the train, occasionally snoring.
After a day and a night of running, they are also very tired at the moment, just take advantage of this time to rest, after all, this place is located in the interior of the Huaxia Dynasty, it can be said that it is quite safe, and no Yuan army will attack at this time.
On the front of the car, the driver was also sleepy-eyed, occasionally opening his eyes to look at the road signs on both sides of the railway, and seeing that it was still far from the next stop, he closed his eyes again.
At this moment, the train has left Jingzhao Road, as long as an hour, you can arrive in Pingyang Mansion, and after arriving in Pingyang Mansion, the materials on the car will be moved down, and then transported to Taiyuan, Luzhou and other places.
In order to sustain the war on the front line, such trains leave Chang'an every day to send supplies from all over the country to the front line.
It is also clear to everyone on and off the train that these supplies are a key factor in determining the success of the war on the front.
Seeing a bridge across the Yellow River in the distance, the train driver breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "Whew! As long as you cross this bridge over the Yellow River in Shanxi, you can reach Luliang." In this way, it will not be far from Taiyuan. After arriving in Taiyuan, I must have a good rest, otherwise I will be too tired. Just as he was thinking about it, the train stepped onto a magnificent bridge.
This bridge is called the Jinshaanxi Yellow River Bridge, and the length is nearly 20 miles.
It is said that in order to build this bridge, it was only through the efforts of many earth immortals in the army that they dug a foundation pit on the foundation full of silt. After all, the carrying capacity of the silt is too weak, and it is too difficult to carry the train. For this reason, this foundation pit was dug to a depth of hundreds of meters before it stopped. Hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of concrete were poured into the pit to build the bridge.
The entire project cost at least 3 million and took five years to complete.
With a loud roar, the train also stepped on the bridge, according to the usual experience, it only took an hour, they could arrive in Taiyuan, and successfully completed the transportation task.
Thinking of this, the train driver was very happy, and immediately asked the coal furnace worker to shovel up the coal and fill it into the boiler.
It's just that as soon as the coal was stuffed into the boiler, there was a "boom", and the boiler exploded directly.
The driver was stunned: "What's going on?" Before he could react, infinite flames burst out of the boiler, engulfing everyone in the cab, including the driver and some of the coal furnace workers here, all of whom were engulfed in the flames, leaving no breath, and then rushed out of the front of the locomotive, as if the entire locomotive was burning.
The aftermath of the explosion spread throughout the train.
"What's going on?"
The people in the car were startled and hurriedly opened their eyes, but they felt a violent shock of the train.
They were originally in a state of half-sleep, and they had no preparation at all, so they naturally fell directly to the ground, and their noses and faces were swollen.
Affected by the explosion, the whole train was like a noodle, dancing back and forth by a huge giant, and all the carriages bobbed back and forth, making the people inside dizzy and miserable.
"Hey. Look. ”
Someone immediately looked sideways, and the locomotive from the window actually rushed straight out of the tracks.
The locomotive was not small in speed, and the weight was as high as dozens of tons, so it hit the bridge pier not far away with a "boom", and then fell into the Yellow River, and the "boom" turned into a huge flame, and then was swallowed by the mighty Yellow River water.
The power of this locomotive is so huge, how can the pier withstand it, "bang" directly from the middle of the broken part, the upper part of the crack into several fast, directly into the Yellow River, like a dagger inserted in it, no matter how the water of the Yellow River washes, it has not changed.
Now that the piers have been broken, how can the bridge above still maintain its original appearance?
Under the drag of their own gravity, these bridges, which were originally extremely strong, were no different from the noodles at this time, and they were broken one by one, turning into countless boulders and falling into the Yellow River, splashing high waves.
"The bridge is broken?"
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.
Trains were bombed and bridges broke.
Before, they never thought this would happen, but now they saw it.
"Could it be that this looks like it has been attacked?"
Seeing such a look, everyone was shocked and began to wonder if it was caused by the Yuan army.
However, the disaster continued, because the pier was broken, and the collapse of the bridge deck also continued, but it extended directly under the train, losing the support of the bridge deck, and the train on the bridge could not maintain its own condition, and several trains in front of it immediately fell along the track towards the Yellow River.
"Run!"
Feeling the movement of the railway under their feet, everyone seemed to be crazy and hurriedly jumped out of the window.
But the people in the front carriages were already late, and before they could jump out of the windows, they were taken directly into the Yellow River. When the people behind saw this scene, they were naturally frightened, and they didn't dare to stop, and hurriedly jumped out of the window.
Wait until they're easy to jump out.
A whole train, one after the other, fell into the Yellow River like dumplings.
As for the soldiers above who did not escape, they were naturally carried by this train, and they all fell into the vast Yellow River and became one of the corpses.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Until this time, they no longer knew what was going on, they just stood in a daze, and the broken bridge in the distance also showed them the scene that had happened before.
Even in the midst of the Chinese Dynasty, they were not unharmed, but they would encounter danger and lose their lives.
Thinking about these things, everyone is also related, and they can't figure out why this kind of thing happened.
