Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1645
Obviously the train can continue to speed up, but why not continue to speed up?Isn't the purpose of today just to test the speed of the train?
Li Shimin and the others felt unsatisfied, eager to see the train continue to speed up, they wanted to see how fast the train could finally go?
Not only Li Shimin and Sun Wuji, but even the ministers who followed behind could feel that the train could still continue to speed up.

Hearing Li Shimin's yelling and shouting, Su Cheng was stunned, and explained loudly: "This is the first test run, and these craftsmen are not very familiar with trains. If the speed is too fast, it will not be safe. It's dangerous for a train to go off the track."

"The purpose of this test has been basically achieved, so there is no need to take the risk of continuing to speed up! Moreover, I have run for more than ten miles, and I should slow down after running for a while."

After hearing this, Li Shimin and the others understood Su Cheng's concerns. What they said was true. These trains had just been manufactured, and these craftsmen were not very familiar with them. It would be dangerous to continue to speed up.

After all, the locomotive and twenty carriages are so heavy, if it breaks off the track and rushes out, it will be troublesome.

I understand it, but Li Shimin and others still have a lot of regrets in their hearts. They regret not being able to see what kind of speed the train can reach.

Regrettably, at the same time, they felt very pleasantly surprised and excited, because what Su Cheng had bragged about at the beginning had been realized. Although the speed of the train did not continue to increase, they reckoned that it had also reached the one-hour run that Su Cheng had described. Two hundred miles away.

The rumbling train kept moving forward, like a steel giant that never tires.

Trains are machines that don't get tired, but people and horses do.

Li Shimin and a group of military generals who are already extraordinary in martial arts are also riding BMWs, so naturally they will not feel tired.

But although the civil servants behind can ride horses, they seldom gallop like this. In addition, they are getting older, and after running like this for twenty or thirty miles, they start to lose their strength. In fact, even their mounts feel tired. , slowly fell behind.

Many civil officials gradually fell behind, but a group of generals still followed closely behind Li Shimin and Su Cheng, and they were not left behind by the train at all. The speed and the distance were more than enough for them.

Both their mounts and their physical strength are much better than those of the civil servants, but they also understand that although they still feel comfortable, if they continue to run like this, they will feel exhausted before long, and eventually they will not be able to run the train.

To say that the most relaxed ones are of course Su Cheng and Li Shimin, after all, they have the most outstanding horses.

However, even Li Shimin has to admit that if he keeps running like this, he will definitely not be able to run the train in the end.

Because the train is not flesh and blood at all, it will not feel tired at all.

As long as the fire keeps burning, the train can keep running.

After continuing to run for a while, Su Cheng waved and shouted: "Stop! Stop!"

The craftsman who received the order immediately started to brake, and the train made a harsh sound and began to slow down.

squeak...

After continuing to slide for a certain distance, the train finally stopped on the track.

Su Cheng, Li Shimin and others who were galloping along the horse also controlled the speed of the horse and slowed down along with the train, and stopped slowly.

Although the train stopped completely, Li Shimin immediately burst into laughter after reining in his horse: "Hahahaha..."

Changsun Wuji also laughed and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, this is the most important weapon of the country!"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "The train is indeed worthy of the evaluation of the country's most important weapon!"

It was the first time for Li Xiaogong to see a steam car running, and he was gearing up and said, "My dear, such a big locomotive pulling twenty iron carriages can run so fast!"

Li Ji said with a smile: "I estimate that the speed just now should have reached Su Cheng's expectation. According to the speed just now, it shouldn't be a big problem to run two hundred miles in an hour. In other words, one day is enough to run from Chang'an to Luoyang."

Cheng Yaojin yelled: "At that time, I thought Su Cheng was bragging, but I didn't expect that what Su Cheng said was too conservative. If Su Cheng didn't shout just now, the train would continue to speed up!"

Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, I also felt that I can continue to speed up just now. This test has not tested how fast the train can run at all!"

Fang Xuanling asked in shock: "Su Cheng, don't hide it. You always say, how fast can the train run? It won't take half a day to run from Chang'an to Luoyang, right?"

Su Cheng pondered: "The steam train can indeed continue to speed up, but there is not much room for improvement, and it is not safe to go too fast."

"Continue to study. In the future, the train will definitely get faster and faster. It is not impossible to travel from Chang'an to Luoyang in half a day, but we can't reach that speed now."

Steam trains can indeed continue to speed up. In fact, it is impossible for steam trains to reach more than 100 kilometers per hour, but the speed of steam trains in later generations is only [-] to [-] kilometers per hour.

Because this speed can keep the train running safely and efficiently. If the speed is too fast, it will be unsafe on the one hand, and the train will easily break down on the other.

Sorry?
Li Shimin didn't regret it at all, because this speed was already much faster than the carriage, and it was pulling too much than the carriage.

He didn't even dare to think about going from Chang'an to Luoyang in half a day.

Changsun Wuji and Li Ji didn't feel sorry either, they were already so happy from ear to ear, this experiment can be said to be a great success.

Facts have proved that what Su Cheng said can be realized even if it is outrageous.

The train has been manufactured, and the next thing is to build the railway, and the train will bring a lot of money.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "We don't understand these things, only you understand in this world, you can do whatever you want!"

"This test run was a great success. I can't wait for the railway to be built as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will definitely take a train to Luoyang and experience it myself."

Su Cheng said with a smile: "The experience of taking the train should be very good. It is not only faster than the carriage, but also more stable and comfortable than the carriage."

Li Shimin and the others couldn't help but nod their heads. They could understand this just by thinking about it.

When there was no cement road before, riding in a horse-drawn carriage was also a torment, even if the road was flat, it would inevitably be shaken and bumpy.

Even now that there is a concrete road, the carriage will be a little shaken and bumpy when running.

But the rails are so flat, how can there be shaking and bumps?
Li Shimin looked at the train with bright eyes and said with emotion: "As expected of the country's important weapon, it is really a good thing!"
