Chu Ze patiently explained the structure and working principle of the James coupler. The craftsmen listened very carefully and raised their own questions from time to time.

"I roughly understand that with this coupler as a connection, the locomotive and the carriage can be quickly assembled together and separated as needed." A young craftsman suddenly realized.

"Yes, you understand quickly. This is very critical to improving the efficiency of railway transportation." Chu Ze said approvingly: "This task is left to you. I believe you are competent and complete it well."

"Yes! I will go all out!" The young craftsman responded, feeling very excited.

Being able to undertake such an important task is the greatest affirmation of one's skills.

He must live up to the high expectations through his own efforts.

Under Chu Ze's careful guidance, the young craftsman conducted a lot of experiments and tests, repeatedly trying different materials and structures.

After a long period of painstaking exploration, he finally successfully trial-produced a Zhan-type automatic coupler with exquisite structure and practicality.

"Try it and see how it works?" he asked cautiously.

Chu Ze stepped forward to check the operation of the coupler. The clear sound it made when it was running was like the most beautiful music.

"Well done! This coupler is well made and runs very smoothly." Chu Ze praised.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation!" The young craftsman was flattered, and felt sincerely proud and gratified.

After the Zhan type coupler was successfully produced, the simple freight carriage was quickly designed.

Seeing the first carriage being pulled by the locomotive and slowly passing by, Chu Ze and the craftsmen were very excited.

"Great, with the freight cars, our railway transportation function has been initially realized!" Chu Ze couldn't help but praise.

"These achievements all depend on the prince's planning and guidance!" the leader of the craftsmen said sincerely.

"We will definitely continue to work hard on this basis to create more diverse carriages and make the railway transportation industry more complete!" Other craftsmen also said.

After arduous efforts, the first steam locomotive and simple freight carriage were finally completed, and the highly anticipated moment of trial operation came.

On this day, Chu Ze and other craftsmen gathered excitedly beside the specially built test railway track. They watched the locomotive pulling several simple freight carriages slowly forward. Everyone was excited and excited.

"Hoo ho, it's about to start!" A young craftsman said excitedly: "We have been waiting for this moment for a long, long time!"

"Yes, this is the brainchild of our blood!" Other craftsmen could not hide their excitement.

"Please keep quiet and observe the trial operation attentively," Chu Ze reminded, watching the train intently.

When the craftsmen heard this, they all calmed down and stared at the "iron horse" they had worked hard day and night to create.

"Hey, it's about to start! Our hard work is about to be seen in the world!" An older craftsman murmured to himself with tears in his eyes.

He couldn't suppress his excitement, because this train was like their child, witnessing their hard work for countless days and nights.

"Boom——"

With a deep whistle, the first steam train began to crawl slowly.

Thick white smoke spewed out from the chimney, and the wheels collided with the rails, making a uniform "thud" sound.

"Great, running smoothly!" Chu Ze said excitedly as he watched the train gradually speed up.

"It's accelerating! Look, it's running so fast!" The craftsmen were also excited, staring at the train intently, for fear of missing any detail. The locomotive drove the carriage forward on the test track, getting faster and faster, and white smoke drifted backwards.

The transmission system operates normally and all data are within the expected range.

"God bless! Everything is fine!" The leader of the craftsmen had tears streaming down his face.

The doubts and uneasiness about my skills that I had felt for many days were gone at this moment, replaced by my sincere pride and joy for this masterpiece.

At this moment, the train passed the corner and swayed slightly, but quickly adjusted back and continued to run smoothly.

"Oh, there was indeed some shaking when turning just now. This needs to be optimized." Chu Ze keenly noticed this subtle movement and frowned slightly.

"Yes! We will start improving the cornering stability of the car body." The craftsmen immediately expressed that they would pay attention to improving this issue.

They understand that even small deficiencies can affect the entire project and must constantly strive for excellence.

After nearly a quarter of an hour of trial operation, the train finally slowed down and stopped quietly in front of the craftsmen.

"Awesome!" "It's a miracle!" The craftsmen gathered around, unable to conceal their ecstasy.

"Everyone, I sincerely admire your achievements!" Chu Ze also showed an encouraging smile.

He knows how hard the craftsmen have worked, so he knows the significance of this success better than anyone else.

"This is all thanks to the prince's planning and careful guidance!" the head craftsman said excitedly, and the other craftsmen nodded heavily.

Without Chu Ze’s sharp vision and forward thinking, they would never have been able to do this.

"There is no need to be modest, your ingenuity and wisdom are the key." Chu Ze continued to praise: "Okay, the first step has been taken, we will continue to work hard to hone it to a more perfect point!"

"Yes! We will definitely live up to the prince's high expectations!" The craftsmen were full of confidence.

Obtaining Chu Ze's affirmation strengthened their determination to continue moving forward.

Looking at the cheering craftsmen surrounding the locomotive, Chu Ze couldn't help but smile.

The birth of the first steam train opened a new chapter in human mechanical civilization.

And this is just the beginning!
Next, the construction of the train station was initially completed.

"According to the prince's request, we have reserved enough space in the pit square for future expansion." A craftsman reported.

"We deliberately added greenery around the station building, which is both beautiful and environmentally friendly." Another craftsman also said.

"I designed the ticket hall to be spacious and transparent, with a ticket purchase window reserved." A young craftsman said excitedly.

After checking them one by one, Chu Ze was very satisfied with their design and ingenuity.

Under his careful guidance, Fengyang Railway Station quickly formed its preliminary scale. The station building is spacious and bright, the functional areas are reasonably divided, and sufficient expansion space is reserved. The overall style is basically consistent with that of a modern station.

"Great, you did it!" Looking at the station that was beginning to take shape, Chu Ze praised: "This is unprecedented in this world, and your contribution will be remembered!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" All the craftsmen were flattered and felt sincerely proud.

It is their great honor to be able to participate in such an epoch-making project. (End of chapter)
