Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 674
"Hahahaha!" Zhao Wen smiled up to the sky, he never thought that the firewood car would be manufactured by Song Yingxing in such a short period of time.

In fact, after electricity began to be used, Zhao Wen improved various machine tools driven by steam engines, and the successful manufacture of electric welding machines, so Song Yingxing was able to manufacture wood-burning cars in such a short period of time.

This is also thanks to the design drawings that Zhao Wen gave Song Yingxing. Without Zhao Wen's design drawings, Song Yingxing would not have been able to manufacture the wood-burning car in such a short period of time.

"Hurry up and take me to have a look!" Zhao Wen didn't care about his emperor's image at all, he ran down from above, came to Song Yingxing, and shouted at Song Yingxing.

Zhao Wenzhan was very excited. Although the transportation capacity of cars is not comparable to that of trains, their popularity and adaptability are not comparable to trains.

At least, in this era, as long as the official road can go, wood-burning cars can go, unlike trains, which have to run on railways.

With wood-burning vehicles, the demand for war horses will gradually decrease in the future.

Even if the grassland changes in the future, the firewood car in Zhao Wen's hand can still drive on the grassland.

Song Yingxing led Zhao Wen out of the imperial study.

Chen Donglai looked at Zhao Wen who was so excited, and hurriedly followed with a few personal guards.

After Zhao Wen walked out of the palace, he got into a carriage and took Song Yingxing to the research institute.

Not long after, Zhao Wen came to the research institute.

Just as Zhao Wen walked into the courtyard of the research institute, he saw a wood-burning car placed inside the research institute.

The appearance of the wood-burning cars in front of us is basically the same as that of later generations, except that the windows and the like have not been installed yet.

The wood-burning car is a truck, the rear compartment is made of wood, and the base below is made of steel.

Because it has just been manufactured, it has not been painted with water-proof raw lacquer.

An iron stove was placed in the corner of the carriage near the front of the car, and a gas tank was placed in the other corner.

The wheels of the wood-burning car were removed from the 107 rocket launcher. Due to size constraints, this wood-burning car can be a little smaller than later generations of wood-burning cars.

Zhao Wen walked to the front of the firewood-burning car, and circled around the firewood-burning car non-stop.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect to manufacture a wood-fired car in such a short period of time." Zhao Wen looked at The two wood-burning cars were full of admiration.

Song Yingxing followed Zhao Wen and said, "Your Majesty, it is also fortunate to have your design drawings. Without the design drawings, I would not be able to manufacture the wood-burning car in such a short period of time."

"Haha, although that's what you said, but your credit is not small. By the way, I see that the stove in the carriage doesn't even have ashes. Has it not been put into trial operation yet?" Zhao Wen stopped at the back of the carriage and pointed Looking at the stove on the carriage, he looked at Song Yingxing.

Song Yingxing nodded, "Your Majesty, the time is short, and the trial operation has not yet started. It is almost ready. As long as His Majesty gives an order, the trial operation can be started now."

"Then let's start now, quickly push this wood-burning car out." Zhao Wen said impatiently.

Standing behind Zhao Wen, Chen Donglai looked at the strange looking wood-burning car in front of him, his face was full of disbelief.

"Your Majesty is definitely a god in the sky. I have never seen or heard of such a thing. Even in history books, there is no record.

I heard that His Majesty also made the trains that pass through Xuan Town today, plus this strange-looking car now.His Majesty is definitely not a mortal, but an immortal in the sky. "Chen Donglai thought in this way, and when he looked at Zhao Wen, his eyes were full of respect.

At this time, Song Yingxing's students were still standing in the courtyard. Song Yingxing directed his students to pull the firewood car out with hemp rope.

Because the yard is relatively small, in order to better record various data, Song Yingxing chose to use this method to pull the wood-burning car out.

The gate of the research institute is relatively wide. In order to better transport various things, there is no threshold installed, so wood-burning cars can also be pulled out.

Song Yingxing's students pulled the firewood car with hemp rope, and slowly pulled the car out of the institute.

There is a straight concrete road outside the research institute. Song Yingxing's students pulled the firewood car and came to the cement road.

Zhao Wen stood next to the wood-burning car, looked at the wood-burning car in front of him, "The test will start after everything is ready."

Song Yingxing led his students to make final preparations under Zhao Wen's instructions.

The best wood is put into the stove in the cabin of the wood-burning car. The power of the wood-burning car is the gas produced when the wood or coal is not completely burned.

So, it will take some time before the diesel-burning cars are up and running.

The inner chamber of the stove in the carriage is constantly burning, and the gas produced in the stove is transported to the tank for storing the gas.

There is a valve under the gas storage tank, which controls the connection between the furnace and the gas tank. This valve is a one-way valve, which can only enter but not exit.

Next to this valve, there is another valve, which is used for exhaust.

There is also a pipeline directly connected to the car engine on the stove, and the gas produced can be directly supplied to the engine.

If this method is used, the diesel-burning vehicle will not be able to exert its maximum performance. In order to better test the performance of the diesel-burning vehicle, Song Yingxing asked someone to fill up the gas storage tank first.

There is a hand-operated blower under the boiler. This blower blows the generated gas into the gas storage tank and is also used for pressurization.

These things were designed by Zhao Wen in advance.

One of Song Yingxing's students squatted next to the blower, shaking the handle constantly.

The rest of the students kept adding firewood to the stove.

After all the work was done, Song Yingxing's students jumped out of the car, and the flame in the boiler had already been extinguished.

"Well, let me drive." Zhao Wen looked at the wood-burning car in front of him, and climbed into the car as he spoke.

The control room of the car is the same as that of later generations. On the left side of the front of the car, Zhao Wen sat in the cab and looked at the furnishings inside.

Because it was just manufactured, and Zhao Wen canceled many unnecessary things on the drawings, the interior furnishings of the current wood-burning car are very simple, so simple that there are no other things except driving.

"In later generations, I will always have a driver's license. Driving a small wood-burning car is not overkill." Zhao Wen murmured while holding the crude steering wheel.

"Your Majesty, this is the first time this wood-burning car has been produced. For safety's sake, please let your students drive it." Song Yingxing stood outside the driver's cab, looked at Zhao Wen who was sitting inside, and said worriedly. .

Now Zhao Wen is the emperor, Song Yingxing was afraid that Zhao Wen might make a mistake.

"Yes, Your Majesty, let Master Song's students drive it. You are a man of gold. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Your Majesty, let Song Yingxing's students drive it." Chen Donglai also stood in the driver's seat. Beside the room, he said with a worried face.

Zhao Wen shook his head, "You don't need to persuade me anymore, I know it well, you should leave now."

Song Yingxing and Chen Donglai kept persuading Zhao Wen, but Zhao Wen had already made up his mind, so they couldn't persuade him at all, so they could only let Zhao Wen go.

"You guys find a few bicycles and follow His Majesty later. Don't let His Majesty make any mistakes." Chen Dong looked at the guards who were following behind him.

"I have a bicycle here." Hearing Chen Donglai's voice, Song Yingxing said hastily, and then looked at the students standing beside him, "You guys, ride the bicycles in the research institute."

As soon as the words fell, the students who were seen by Song Yingxing hurried to the research institute.

After a while, several personal guards stepped onto the bicycle.

At this time, Zhao Wen also started the firewood car.

Compared with gasoline vehicles, the operation method of diesel-burning vehicles is much simpler.It's just that because there is no electronic power assist, the steering wheel is relatively stiff to operate.

Zhao Wen steered the steering wheel, and the wood-burning car started running on the cement road outside the research institute.

The wood-burning car ran faster and faster, and the guards on bicycles kept chasing behind.

At the beginning, they could barely keep up with Zhao Wen, but as the wood-burning cars got faster and faster, they gradually fell behind.

Zhao Wen was sitting in the driver's cab, because the windshield hadn't been installed yet, so the outside wind blew in directly.

Zhao Wen felt the wind blowing in, with a smile on his face.

"The applicability of firewood-burning vehicles is greater than that of trains. As long as the official road can still run, firewood-burning vehicles can go. In a short period of time, it is impossible for the railway to cover the entire Ming Dynasty. Now that there are firewood-burning vehicles, this Something just works as a substitute.

With it, when transporting food in the future, the manpower and material resources used will be reduced a lot, more food will be sent to the front line, and the transportation cost will be reduced geometrically. "

As Zhao Wen thought about it, he saw a firewood car driving into the downtown area of ​​Xuanzhen.

The research institute is near the steel factory, not in Xuanzhen City.

Zhao Wen is not a saint either. After having such advanced things, he also has some psychology of wanting to show off.

Zhao Wen drove a firewood car to the city gate of Xuan Town. The soldiers guarding the city gate looked at the strange-looking vehicle and were about to intercept it, but when they saw Zhao Wen wearing a dragon robe in the driver's cab, He hurriedly hid again, and helped Zhao Wen disperse the people entering and leaving the city gate.

Zhao Wen drove a firewood car into the city wall of Xuan Town. As soon as the firewood car appeared on the streets of Xuan Town, it attracted the attention of a large number of people.

"What is this? Is this a car? How can it run so fast? And there are no horses to pull it?"

"The people here look familiar. The dragon robe he is wearing is the emperor!"

"What?! Is it the emperor? No wonder, no wonder, no wonder, it is the emperor, and only the emperor can make such a wonderful thing."

"It's the emperor, it's the emperor!"

All of a sudden, the people on both sides of the street shouted at Zhao Wen who was driving.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty!"

Although these people were very excited, they did not chase after them. Instead, they quietly hid on both sides of the road, watching Zhao Wen leave in a firewood car.

These people in Xuan Town have lived in Xuan Town for many years, and they know what to do when.

And they can often see Zhao Wen, so they didn't block the road because Zhao Wen was driving.

Zhao Wen drove the car around Xuan Town non-stop, and the gas in the gas storage tank was still relatively sufficient, which could fully supply Zhao Wen to drive like this.

Under normal circumstances, a wood-burning car can run [-] kilometers by burning a catty of firewood. The gas stored in the gas storage tank just now is not only the amount of one catty of firewood, so it can fully support Zhao Wen's driving like this.

Zhao Wen had a great time driving in Xuanzhen, but Chen Donglai had a big trouble there.

As Zhao Wen's speed increased, the guards arranged by Chen Donglai gradually lost track of Zhao Wen.

They had no choice but to go back to Chen Donglai.

Chen Donglai pointed at the dejected guards in front of him, blushed and shouted thickly, "What are you doing for food? How could you lose His Majesty? Your Majesty spent so much money to support you, is this how you do things?" Hurry up and go back to Xuan Town, and inform the regiment commanders of the Guards to find them in Xuan Town."

"Eunuch, Your Majesty is not such an impulsive person. Let's wait for a while, maybe he will be back in a while. If we mobilize the regiments of the Guards to look for it now, there will probably be quite a mess." Song Yingxing persuaded.

Although Song Yingxing was also very anxious, Song Yingxing had been with Zhao Wen for some years, and he knew Zhao Wen's character and temper quite well.

In Song Yingxing's view, it was impossible for Zhao Wen to be so aimless.

Chen Donglai's expression softened a lot, "Then listen to Master Song and wait another hour."

Zhao Wen drove a wood-burning car around Xuan Town non-stop, and the news spread quickly throughout Xuan Town as if it had grown wings.

Just when the people in Xuan Town rushed out of their homes to see this strange carriage, Zhao Wen drove away in a firewood car and returned to the gate of the research institute.

Zhao Wen stopped the firewood car, and he got out of the cab.

As soon as he stepped on the ground, Chen Donglai ran over at a trot.

"Your Majesty, can you bring some personal guards with you next time? This is really worrying." Chen Donglai looked at Zhao Wen with a worried expression.

Song Yingxing also approached Zhao Wen with a stern face, "Your Majesty, let's bring more guards with us in the future."

"It's okay, it's not a big deal, it's nothing." Zhao Wen said haha, and diverted the matter.
