Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1619 Amazed
It was completely different from common cars. It looked ugly, but it was very fierce. Empress Changsun observed carefully, but she couldn't see why this car could move by itself.

Prince Li Zhi appeared behind the emperor and the empress on tiptoe, looking eagerly into the distance on his tiptoes, and from a distance he could see a ferocious car approaching like a beast.

It's just a pity, because the distance is still a bit far away, so I can't see clearly. I looked up and saw that the queen mother was holding up the binoculars. Li Zhi was very envious. He also had binoculars, but he forgot to bring them out.

But it doesn't matter, you can see it clearly when the car gets closer.

Su Cheng drove the steam car rumbled over, he had already noticed a dark group of people waiting at the gate of the palace.

Li Shimin came out and waited eagerly, which didn't surprise him too much. What surprised him was that even Empress Changsun came out.

Su Cheng was just surprised, but Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and the others were almost trembling with excitement.

Look at who is in front, the emperor, empress, prince, princess, and all the important officials in the court ran out to greet them. What is the card face? This is the card face!

Besides Su Cheng, who else can have such a card?

They were lucky enough to follow Su Cheng, and Cheng Chumo and the others all straightened their chests.

"You can stop filling the charcoal!" Su Cheng turned his head and ordered.

After Cheng Chumo listened, he immediately dropped the guy and stood up straight away. Although his hands were black and even his face was dark, he was full of pride, like a great general who has triumphantly returned.

He, Cheng Chumo, not only participated in the whole process of steam car manufacturing, but also played an important role in the steam car manufacturing process, and was also the first person in the world to ride a steam car!

You mean Su Cheng?Oh, and he was the first man ever to drive a steam car!
Ka Ka Ka, accompanied by a piercing sound, the steam car slowly stopped.

Su Cheng and Cheng Chumo jumped off the steam car.

"Meet Your Majesty!" Su Cheng saluted cleanly.

Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and others also greeted respectfully.

However, Li Shimin ignored them at all, and all his attention was on the steam car.

"This thing is really big! The shape is really unique! It can run without pulling or pushing!" Li Shimin circled around the steam car and exclaimed.

Not only Li Shimin, but Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and other civil servants and military generals also started wandering around the steam car, tsk-tsk admiringly.

Although both Empress Changsun and Princess Changle thought this car was really ugly, Li Shimin and others had completely different views. They thought it was very imposing, like a ferocious beast.

Li Zhi ran over quickly, and when he saw the steam car coming in front of him, he was very excited. This big guy looks so fierce!
When he ran under the steam car, he looked up at the steam car and felt even stronger. This big man is really too fierce!

Touching the steam car that was still warm, his little face flushed with excitement, just now he saw his brother-in-law sitting on it was really cool, it would be great if he could also drive it, it must be very exciting!

No, if only he had a car with such a chest tightness!

Li Shimin asked suspiciously: "Why does this car go forward without pulling or pushing?"

Su Cheng explained with a smile: "I call it a steam car because it uses the principle of steam. We have all seen that when water is boiled, the steam can float up and lift the moving pot cover. This car uses this principle."

Su Cheng took a step forward, pointed at the steam car and patiently explained. After listening to Li Shimin and others for a while, they suddenly realized that the truth is so simple!

Simple is simple, but since ancient times, no one has thought of using this to build a car, and only Su Cheng thought of it.

It turned out to be driven by steam, which is amazing!
Empress Changsun laughed and said: "The car can really run, but it's just that such a big car can't carry people or load it!"

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and the others couldn't help nodding their heads again and again, this was also the status they cared about.

It's really amazing that this car can go by itself without pulling or pushing, but if it can't carry people or load, it's meaningless at all.

Su Cheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "This can only be regarded as the front of the car, which is equivalent to the cattle and horses pulling the cart. The rear can be connected with carriages, and if there are more than ten or twenty carriages, can't it be used to pull goods and people? "

Empress Changsun and the others didn't realize it when they heard this. That's right, wouldn't it be possible to pull people to load goods by connecting the carriages at the back?
Wei Zheng asked suspiciously, "Then there are more than a dozen or twenty carriages connected? Are there so many? Can it be pulled?"

A dozen or twenty carriages are not small. If it is loaded with cargo, it will be even heavier. Even a few cows may not be able to pull it. Can this steam car pull it?

Su Cheng said with a smile: "A dozen or twenty cars are no problem, and they can run fast even if they are all full of goods."

In fact, Li Shimin didn't worry about whether he could pull it or not. After all, such a big car looks strong, even if it can't move a dozen or twenty carriages, it will definitely be no problem to pull three or five carriages.

However, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing when Su Cheng said that he was running fast: "You don't even have a single car, so you don't run fast. Pulling a dozen or twenty cars is not as slow as a turtle crawling?"

Fang Xuanling walked around the steam car, pondered: "The car is a dead thing and cannot move by itself. Since there are no animals to pull it, it seems that it is powered by burning fire. Firewood and coal are not expensive, but this car The cars are all made of iron, how many catties of iron does such a car need? I am afraid that it is difficult for ordinary people to afford."

Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and the others couldn't help but nodded slightly. What they said was reasonable. The cost of a car was so high, let alone ordinary people, even the imperial court couldn't afford it.

Empress Changsun said with a smile: "This is just an attempt, maybe Su Cheng still has ways to improve."

Su Cheng couldn't help laughing when he heard that, Li Shimin and the others still wanted to build a lot of steam cars to run on the road, how is this possible?

This is a steam engine and not an internal combustion engine.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "This thing was not made to run on the road."

Li Shimin and the others felt baffled when they heard this, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you run on the road?"

Su Cheng nodded and explained with a smile: "Yes, for example, I built two railway tracks from Chang'an to Luoyang, and then put the steam car on the tracks, which would save more effort than running on flat ground, so even if it is pulling There are dozens of carriages, and the speed is very fast, starting from Chang'an in the morning, you can reach Luoyang before the sun goes down!"
