Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 182 The First Celestial Engineer
"My lord, are you looking for me?" Seeing that Chu Yun was looking for him, the official came over.

With short hair and a mustache, he seems to be a clear stream among officials, and he looks very capable.

"Come on, this is Stephenson, the engineer who presided over the construction of our first section of the railway, and we need you to work together to build our southern Liaoning railway network." Chu Yun introduced to each other, "And this is our Zhan Tianyou, a local railway engineering expert in China, came here in the same way as you. To be honest, the length and quality of the railways he built are too high to count, and his strength is not a problem."

Chu Yun spent a lot of thought on building a railway network that can be used in the future.As far as the railway talents under Chu Yun are concerned, only Stephenson and the members of the railway construction committee who built the first railway are not many at all, and the technology is not very mature.The main job of Stephenson, who is even the leader, is to make steam locomotives, and railway construction can be regarded as a sideline.

So Chu Yun planned to recruit some talents from the industrial revolution system.If you want to recruit talents, you just need to turn on the relevant technology, and the system is likely to send relevant talents.Chu Yun started a technology called "herringbone railway" with his own memory. If Chu Yun remembered correctly, it was an engineering technology invented by a local engineer, and it was introduced in Chinese textbooks.Sure enough, when Zhan Tianyou from the late Qing Dynasty came over and brought some local talents to build the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, Chu Yun finally came to his senses, no wonder he was so impressed!
Originally, the herringbone railway should be regarded as a technology in the early [-]th century, but it is not a core technology. It is more of an engineering transformation technology, which can reduce the cost of railway construction in a specific terrain.So there are not many civilization points needed, and...

"Because of your national attributes, there will be certain discounts for opening Celestial Technology, which will reduce the consumption of civilization points. The more advanced the technology, the less the discounts..." The system said.

Damn it, I didn't say it earlier!Chu Yun, who was belatedly aware of it, was a little depressed.The scientific and technological innovations of the Celestial Dynasty were mainly concentrated after modern times. Chu Yun's intuition was that the technology was very expensive, so he never paid much attention to it.I feel like I lost a few million.

No matter what, Chu Yun would wake up from his dreams with a smile if he could summon a skilled engineer like Zhan Tianyou with not much civilization.Those who have done engineering may know how important a qualified engineer is, and Zhan Tianyou, who majored in railway engineering at Yale University and presided over the construction of so many important railways in the Qing Dynasty, is simply a treasure, not to mention he also brought Some of the Qing talents who participated in the construction of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway were recruited.This is definitely not an ordinary technology that can be replaced.

However, Chu Yun saw that besides Zhan Tianyou and a few foreign students among these people, there were also railway technicians with braids, so Chu Yun had their braids cut off directly. This is not the Qing Dynasty!
Even Chu Yun felt that growing long hair was troublesome and unhygienic, so he cut his hair short, and his subordinates began to follow suit, and short hair became a new trend.

When Zhan Tianyou was first summoned, he was a little confused.In his time, he was at the opening ceremony of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. He didn’t expect that he would be summoned to the end of the Ming Dynasty. In a certain sense, the Qing Dynasty had perished!
"The rails are fish maw-shaped cooked rails, weighing about 14 kilograms per meter. There are only two locomotives, with a pair of upright cylinders and a pair of moving wheels with a diameter of 1.2 meters. A tender is added behind, and the total weight is about nine tons. The speed is about 13 kilometers per hour. Mr. Stephenson, you are a genius." Zhan Tianyou couldn't help admiring when he saw the seniors in the railway and train field.

Although the technology of his era was more advanced than the simple locomotive and railway in Stephenson's era, Stephenson, as the pioneer of this era, was indelibly groundbreaking, and he greatly promoted the popularization and development of train and railway technology.

"Zhan Tianyou? Expert, I didn't expect there to be such a talent here!" Stephenson held Zhan Tianyou's hand in surprise, and said excitedly, "Finally there is a like-minded person."

"Maybe Zhan Tianyou can tell you about the development of the railway and the more advanced management technology of railway engineering. I believe you will have more topics to talk about." Seeing that the two got along quite well, Chu Yun was also very satisfied.

In the future, with these two new railway construction forces, we can start the exploration of the railway in the north and the south at the same time, and then start to gradually invest funds in the construction of the railway. The progress should be considerable.

"My lord, it is my honor to be in charge of the construction of this railway project together with the pioneers." Zhan Tianyou couldn't help but be eager to try.

In his time and space, the Qing Dynasty was far behind the West, and he worked hard to build railways in order to catch up with the West.However, in this world, Daming is the pioneer of railways, and has been ahead for more than a hundred years!What a great achievement it would be to build a network of railways criss-crossing this land in advance!

Several people squeezed through the crowd watching the train, sweating profusely to find Chu Yun who was celebrating the smooth operation of the first section of the railway.

"My lord, it's not good, there is an important military situation ahead."

Chu Yun recognized that the person who came was Wei Long, one of the important senior officials of the Intelligence Department.Recently, Wei Long is haunting the front line of Jianzhou, collecting information on the defeat of the Jianzhou Jurchen in one fell swoop.

"What's the matter?" Chu Yun was discussing with Zhan Tianyou and Stephenson about the blueprint of the main railway artery. When he saw Wei Long anxiously approaching him, he asked him alone.

"Our people have contacted the prisoner-of-war troops of the Jianzhou Uprising. This is a letter of appeal for help written by their leader Wang Dalang." Wei Long said in a low voice.

Wang Dalang?Chu Yun had an impression that a group of Sarhu prisoners of war revolted in Hetuala when he led the Northern Expedition to attack Liaodong, and was later besieged by Zhengbai Banner who returned to the division.

The slave army led by Wang Dalang was too messy and not well-equipped, so under the attack of Zhengbai Banner, Hetuala was easily lost, and the road to the south was blocked, so he had to flee to the north and into the long In Changbai Mountain, Chu Yun then lost their news at the beginning of winter.

But after the ice and snow melted, the remnant army finally got in touch again.

Wang Dalang said in the letter that the slave troops who fled into the mountains starved to death and froze to death. There are only a few hundred people left, and they are still besieged by the Houjin army. The last attack of the Houjin troops died for the country.

These people are really bloody.Chu Yun closed the letter.It's time to launch the final battle with the Houjin Banners.
