Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 221 Imagining the Train
Li Changfeng did not refuse, and had an in-depth discussion with Liang Dafu on the details of various aspects of the steam engine.

Li Changfeng, who received a modern education in his previous life and has dabbled in all aspects, whenever he puts forward some improvement suggestions, can make Liang Dafu Mao Saidun burst into praise.

"Your Highness, I think you should let go of the troubles of the world and do scientific research with me. This is what you should do!"

Liang Dafu looked serious.

Li Changfeng said with a smile: "If my prince does scientific research with you, who will earn you scientific research funding?"

Liang Dafu knew that this was impossible, so he said with a dry smile, "That's right."

"The successful development of the steam engine is only the beginning, the most important thing is to use it!"

"I haven't really thought about it."

Li Changfeng began to guide: "Tell me, what will happen if wheels are installed on the drive shaft?"

Thanks to Li Changfeng's constant influence, Liang Dafu naturally knew what the transmission shaft meant.

Liang Dafu's eyes lit up immediately: "Then it will walk on the road like a carriage!"

Speaking of this, Liang Dafu's expression became excited: "Besides, this is much better than a horse-drawn carriage. As long as there is coal and water, it will run tirelessly, and the load capacity is even unmatched by a horse-drawn carriage!"

Li Changfeng nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, the prince is very pleased that you can find this, this is the direction of your next research."

"But..." Liang Dafu thought for a moment, frowned and asked, "What should such a big guy turn around? Also, the weight of the steam engine is too amazing. Not to mention the roads in the capital, even the asphalt roads in Baishi City pass by." Don't hold back!"

Li Changfeng continued to guide: "Then we can change our thinking. Since the road is not good, why not lay railroad tracks? After the roadbed is compacted, stones are laid, and railroad tracks are fixed with anti-corrosion wooden strips..."

Next, Li Changfeng described in detail the method of manufacturing the rails and the related operation methods according to his memory of the train's railroad in his previous life.

The more Liang Dafu listened, the more excited he became, and he exclaimed again and again.

After talking about this, Li Changfeng asked Liang Dafu to let him go, and he left the research institute after some encouragement.

The world of the steam engine is undoubtedly epoch-making.

But the most important thing is to use it.

The steam train is undoubtedly the best choice.

Once it is put into use, it will bring him huge profits no matter whether it is transporting people or carrying goods in the future.

And it's still a monopoly.

Of course, it can also stabilize the entire Dagan.

"Whenever we come up with the internal combustion engine."

Li Changfeng slapped the soot on his body, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He has already mastered several oil fields, and has even initially developed low-grade gasoline and diesel oil, but they have no other uses other than setting them on fire.

If the internal combustion engine can be developed, it will not be far from the automobile, and life will become very convenient at that time.

But Li Changfeng also knows that this cannot be achieved in a short time.

The internal combustion engine is too complicated, and the internal combustion engine can be better developed only after the steam engine technology matures and relevant experience is accumulated.

In the next few days, Li Changfeng has been focusing on the expansion of honeycomb coal production and sales channels, and found a few merchants to let them sell it in cities around the capital.

Honeycomb coal has expanded at an extremely fast speed, and has been recognized by more people, and its income is increasing every day.

Ever since honeycomb briquettes began to be sold in large quantities, Li Changfeng was surrounded by a large number of masters to protect him, either openly or secretly, and did not encounter any danger. The Zhao family was very safe and did not do anything out of the ordinary.

This surprised many people who were determined to have a big event.

The Zhao family just swallowed their anger like this?

How did they know that Zhao Tianquan couldn't do anything unless he swallowed his anger. With the two aristocratic families of the Zhao family and the Wang family, he didn't dare to do anything to the Li royal family.

The weather is getting colder and colder.

As a result, the growth of vegetables in the vegetable greenhouses has slowed down, and the supply of ingredients for Hudilao Hot Pot Restaurant has become somewhat tight.

Anyway, what they earn is the money of the dignitaries. Li Changfeng directly announced a [-]% price increase. Although the dignitaries were dissatisfied, it did not affect Hudilao's business at all.

The colder the weather, the more precious green vegetables are.

Then Li Changfeng went to the vegetable greenhouse in person, and gave some pointers on the details of heat preservation on the spot, asking them to regenerate some heaters regardless of the cost to ensure the temperature of the greenhouse.

The value of these vegetables is much higher than the coal burned.

In addition, the demand for honeycomb coal is also increasing, and the output of Lichangfeng Coal Mine is a little tight.

Coming out of the vegetable greenhouse, Li Changfeng returned to Beijing in a carriage.

There was an improved heater in the carriage, and a special chimney extended out of the carriage to discharge smoke. The interior of the carriage was very warm, and Li Changfeng felt a little hot even in a thin shirt.

The carriage swayed all the way, and it didn't take long before it stopped suddenly, and bursts of noise came in.

Li Changfeng opened the thick cotton curtain a little and asked, "What's wrong?"

The groom quickly turned around and bowed, "His Royal Highness, he is a member of Wucheng Bingmasi, who is driving away the refugees trying to enter the capital."

The groom's tone was low, with a look of impatience on his face.

Li Changfeng was startled, then put down the curtain, put on a thick sheepskin coat, opened the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and walked towards the refugees.

"Your Highness, the refugees are not allowed to go without investigation!"

The masters arranged by Emperor Qianwu hurried up to stop them, but Li Changfeng pushed them away.

"fine."

Zhao Shanhe, who was checking the situation ahead, hurriedly came to Li Changfeng's side to protect him. Seeing Li Changfeng's gloomy face, he followed closely without saying a word.

Li Changfeng is in a very bad mood now.

He doesn't think he is a good person in the true sense, but he really can't bear to see ordinary people have no hope of living.

I saw that there were about a thousand of these refugees, all of whom were wearing thin clothes, only a few of them were wearing winter clothes, many of them didn't even have shoes, and their feet were black and blue from the cold.

The refugees all looked haggard and yellow. It looked like they hadn't eaten for a long time, shivering in the cold wind, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the officers and soldiers in official uniforms holding weapons.

"I beg you, Mr. Guan, let us go in, my children are freezing to death!"

"I haven't eaten for two days, please let us go in and ask for a meal!"

"Master, you can do it, if you can't, you can buy my child, as long as you give him a bite to eat, don't freeze to death and starve to death!"

……

However, these officers and soldiers looked indifferent, waving the long knives in their hands and grinning and threatening: "Keep away from me, is the capital a place where you refugees can come?"

"You poor bastards, don't dirty the eyes of the gentlemen in the capital, if you dare to stay any longer, you will be killed on the spot!"

Just then, an angry shout came.

"Kill on the spot? Who gave you the power?!"

All the officers and soldiers were shocked.

Looking around, I saw Li Changfeng walking quickly, with a gloomy expression, surrounded by many guards.
