Chapter 996 Assuming a serious crime is equivalent to raising the flag to rebel
Chapter [-] Ushering in a serious crime is equivalent to raising the flag to rebel
Six to seven kilometers, even if it does not stop day and night, it is more than 100 kilometers a day, more than 200 miles.It will take more than a month to reach Chang'an from Anxi.

This speed is not even comparable to the speed of a four-wheeled carriage on the driveway.However, a train is a train after all.

Although the speed of the four-wheeled carriage is faster than that of the steam engine train at this time, it is still limited.The biggest advantage of the steam engine train is the low transportation cost.Moreover, the transportation volume is astonishing. The carriage capacity on the galloping road is far greater than that of a four-wheeled carriage on ordinary roads, but it is also limited, at most it can carry more than six thousand catties.

However, this steam engine train hangs twelve rows of ten feet and six feet long, or about (24.91) meters, and a width of about one foot and two feet (2.82 meters), which is almost the same size as the passenger trains of later generations.

However, Chen Ying's face immediately turned dark.

Because he discovered that this steam engine train actually has a very tricky operation, that is, there is combustible coal behind the locomotive, but it does not need to be shoveled into the furnace by shovel by shovel, but uses the transmission mechanism of the steam engine to adopt The way the gears are decelerated creates a conveyor belt similar to the assembly line of later generations.

This Chen Ying was still powerless to complain. The most important thing was that the burnt cinders were thrown out of the car by means of a conveyor belt, and fell on the side of the railroad tracks on the driveway.

And it can also be seen that this experimental train has been tested repeatedly, and there are coal slags that can almost cover the feet on both sides of the rails on the running track.

Cinders are not a good thing, but they should not be placed indiscriminately. If the train runs for a long time, the cinders may flood the rails. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there is little rain in Anxi. , will not form a sandstorm?

Seeing Chen Ying's unfriendly expression, the former Flavi Zeno, now the current Zeno hurried forward and explained: "Your Excellency, the speed still needs some time to be faster!"

Chen Ying pointed to the conveyor belt that discharges the cinders and said, "Whose idea is this?"

Zeno carefully looked at a craftsman with a simple and honest face beside him.

The craftsman said with a happy face: "This is made by grass people!"

Chen Ying turned to look at the guards behind him. At this time, the train had only traveled less than five miles.A layer of cinders had fallen on all of them, and the originally black armor seemed to have turned gray.

Chen Yingdao: "What's your name?"

The simple and honest craftsman bowed and said: "Crassman Luo Shiming, from Guangzhou, Huainan Road (today's Xinyang, Henan Province)..."

Before Luo Shiming finished speaking, Chen Ying waved his hands and said, "Come here, whip him twenty lashes, let him have a long memory!"

Chen Ying had always governed Anxi with military law, and there was no saying in Anxi that the military could not interfere in government affairs. Immediately, two personal guards stopped Luo Shiming, raised their whips, and began to beat him cracklingly.

At this moment, the train began to speed up significantly, even if it was trotting forward, it could no longer keep up.As the steam engine train billows of smoke, the speed of the train is getting faster and faster.

Chen Ying had no choice but to speed up. Fortunately, Chen Ying's guard horses were all good horses, so they could barely keep up.Yili horses, Sanhe horses, and Tubo horses are not good at sprinting, but they have good endurance.Their speed can run to about 35 kilometers or [-] kilometers per hour.

As the train continued to speed up, after chasing for three or four miles, the war horse was already exhausted.However, Chen Ying's men are all riding three horses, so don't worry, just change horses and continue chasing.

At this moment, the speed of the train began to slowly decrease.

It turned out that the end of the experiment had arrived.

Chen Ying looked at Qinuo and said, "How long is this distance?"

Zeno said: "Twenty miles!"

Chen Ying asked again: "How long will it take?"

Zeno said, "A quarter of an hour."

Chen Ying nodded. One hour and four quarters of an hour can run almost eighty miles, which means forty kilometers.Although this speed is not fast, in this era, it is already a rare lightning speed.

It is about [-] miles from Chang'an to Shule. If you don't stop halfway, you can reach Chang'an in about [-] hours at this speed. Of course, this is impossible. Steam engine trains are different from internal combustion engine trains. This requires additional coal and water. , and there is no large-scale machinery, the supply speed is not fast, even if it is fast, it will take half an hour or even longer.

Still, sure.

Within a week, you can definitely arrive in Chang'an.

Although this train is not perfect, Chen Ying already feels very satisfied.

Back at the starting point of Shule College, Chen Ying looked at Luo Shiming who was choking on the ground and said, "Do you know why this general beat you?"

Luo Shiming shook his head and said, "The grassroots don't know!"

"How many times have I told you, don't destroy the environment, you fucking don't listen!" At this point, Chen Ying looked at the United Nations craftsmen of Shule College and said: "According to what the general said, change, Remove the coal slag conveyor belt, and the burned slag must not be discharged at will!"

Luo Shiming nodded and said, "Caomin remember it!"

But anyway, the train was finally built.Address the yes or no question first.After solving the problem, think about how to improve it.

There are actually many problems with this train, and the random discharge of cinders is only a very small point, such as too low efficiency and too much coal consumption. In fact, the most important thing is not coal, but water.The 8000-kilometer run can hold a [-]-jin water tank, leaving only less than [-] jin of water, which means that more than [-] jin of water will be consumed for ten kilometers.

Like this experimental steam engine train, there is a train filled with coal and water hanging behind it, four large water tanks, plus coal, in fact, the longest distance it can run is two hundred miles.

If the speed is faster, more coal and water are consumed.

If there is a problem, go to solve the problem, but for Shule College, the reward must be rewarded!

"Shule Academy has made great achievements, and this general will reward you with 100 million yuan!" Having said that, Chen Ying looked at Qinuo and said, "In the future, you will take all the craftsmen who participated in the research and development of the steam engine train project, and give the 100 yuan to you according to the contribution. Wan Guan gave points!"

"100 sticks!"

If calculated in terms of purchasing power, the Tang Dynasty has always been equivalent to 270, and 100 million Guan is almost equal to more than 40 billion in later generations.Even if all the people in Shule College are counted, on average, each person can get at least 300 points, which is equivalent to 150 million per person.

This reward instantly made all the craftsmen of Shule Academy excited.

To Chen Ying, 100 million is actually not a small sum. Of course, if it wasn't for raiding the Tubo palace and wiping away the wealth accumulated by Tubo for hundreds of years, Chen Ying wouldn't be able to spend a million coins as a reward at once.

Chen Ying did not hand over all the money to Li Jiancheng, not because he was greedy, but because Chen Ying understands the economy, whether it is currency or precious metals, there is actually a critical point, once this critical point is passed, it will cause inflation .

Chen used the method of the Western Development to frantically build the road, with the purpose of consuming these wealth internally, so that the people of Tang Dynasty all over the world can benefit from it.

Chen Ying handed a bronze plaque to Qinuo and said with a smile, "This is for you!"

Zi Nuo reached out to take the sign, but saw a line of small characters engraved on it in lower script in inscribed script. When he looked carefully, it was: "Imperial seal—the founding man of Ye County."

The back of the bronze medal was engraved with Zeno's name, and Zeno stroked the bronze medal, feeling puzzled.

Looking at it means that the winner has no intention, but looking at it with intention.

Lu Zhikun, who was in charge of supplying Shule College's Houle supplies, suddenly became gloomy.He thought to himself: "Why is the general so confused, the court's grace is still there, isn't this putting himself on the stove to roast?"

The power of feudalism rests with the Son of Heaven. It has never been said that the feudal towns were established on their own, but the imperial court ratified them afterwards. It is one thing for Chen Ying to ask for the title of Baron, but it is another thing for him to be granted the title of Baron by himself. , the former is just asking for credit for his subordinates, while the latter is a serious crime, which is equivalent to raising the flag to rebel.
