I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 549 Experience Riding a Train
But thinking of the benefits that these could bring to the Tang Dynasty, Li Zheng was willing to do anything.

Now, it is finally going to succeed.

After success.

The Tang Dynasty can then produce in large quantities, giving it the foundation for truly developing transportation.

The Tang Dynasty will also usher in a true cross-era.

"well."

"Kaiji, you did a good job."

"The craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry are also good."

"If it really succeeds, there should be a generous reward." Li Zheng couldn't help but laugh, extremely excited.

However, Zheng Xuan and the other man standing by were stunned.

What is a steam train?
When did the Ministry of Industry have this thing again?
"May I ask your Majesty, what is this steam locomotive?"

"Is it also the national treasure of our Tang Dynasty, just like the Shenwu Cannon?" Zheng Xuan asked respectfully.

Hear the words.

Li Zheng smiled and said: "The steam locomotive is not a weapon, but it can definitely be called the national treasure of our Tang Dynasty."

"Kaiji."

"Are you sure we can do the experiment in five days?"

Kaiji nodded immediately: "I promise that it will definitely be possible in five days."

"Eunuch Wang."

"Remember this for me."

"Five days later, order all civil and military officials in the court to go to the Ministry of Works' test site outside the city." Li Zheng said immediately.

"I obey your command." Wang De nodded immediately.

Wait until several ministers leave.

Li Zheng also smiled: "The navy has been almost formed now, and the warships are being delivered step by step. Each of the Shenwu cannons can be manufactured to 20 pieces. With the improvement of technology and a little more effort, we can push it to 30 pieces."

"The same goes for the shells, which can be used to increase the thrust."

"There are also steam trains and a new capital city."

“These are all good news!”

"I wonder if I can get the Tianxiang Cardamom by destroying the Shihan Kingdom and save my elder brother. As long as he wakes up, I won't have to deal with government affairs."

“That’s the real good thing.”

"I can also lead troops to kill people everywhere."

……

Time flies.

in a blink.

Day .

Outside Chang'an City.

The Ministry of Industry’s secret experimental site.

Steam locomotives are very large and require a large space, so at the request of the Ministry of Works, Li Zheng directly allocated a place to the Ministry of Works and dispatched 5,000 Yulin troops to garrison it, just like when they planted sweet potatoes. It was heavily guarded and officials from the other five ministries were not allowed to enter without permission.

Because the Ministry of Works holds the real secrets of the Tang Dynasty.

Arrived at the Ministry of Industry’s headquarters.

Surrounded by civil and military officials in the court.

Li Zheng, wearing a dragon robe, came here slowly.

Come into view.

It was a locomotive that was ahead of its time. There were only two cargo boxes at the back, all made of iron sheets. In that era, there was no industrialization, and all of them were forged by manpower. You can imagine how difficult this was.

But looking at the locomotive, the iron wheels and the hooks underneath, Li Zheng also had a sense of transcending time.

"I never thought that because of my appearance, I, Yanhuang, would own this train thousands of years earlier."

"It really is a bit beyond the times."

Li Zheng looked at the steam locomotive in front of him with a smile on his face.

Under the train.

There are also railway tracks built around this area, which have a particularly epoch-making feel, especially for Li Zheng.

The civil and military officials behind him were all looking at him blankly, as if they were looking at something new and strange, but they had no idea what it was.

"emperor."

"Could this strange-looking thing be a steam locomotive?" Zheng Xuan pointed at the train in front of him in surprise.

"Not bad." Li Zheng smiled.

"What's the use of holding things?" Zheng Xuan asked again.

"You will soon know its use, my dear ministers."

"Come, get in the car with me." "Experience the first steam locomotive in the Tang Dynasty." Li Zheng laughed and walked towards the steam locomotive cargo box in front of him.

All the ministers followed Li Zheng with trepidation.

Then Li Zheng got on the cargo box and stood directly inside it. All the ministers also got on. There were more than a hundred people distributed between the two cargo boxes, but they were still inexplicably surprised and very puzzled.

"Kaiji."

"Let's try it." Li Zheng said to Kaiji.

Kaiji immediately received the order, and then said to the craftsmen who were preparing in front of the locomotive: "Start ignition."

"Yes."

Several craftsmen were also very nervous at this moment. They lit the red-hot coal with trepidation, then opened the furnace filled with coal and began to throw the red-hot coal into it, using a shovel to throw the coal into the furnace one shovel at a time.

When the coal fire reaches a certain level.

Woo! !

The locomotive emits a long stream of air.

"what happened?"

"What is this sound?"

"Why put coal in the train? What good does it do?"

Many officials looked on in confusion.

But the next moment.

They get it.

The craftsman pulled the brake that restricted the wheel.

Rumble.

Rumble.

There were roars.

The train wheels that were originally stationary suddenly started rolling, and the train also moved suddenly.

The minister in the cargo box lost his balance and fell to the ground.

But every expression revealed surprise and confusion.

The steam train started moving along the tracks.

“动了动了。”

“This thing can actually move.”

"What on earth is this? Is it a new type of carriage?"

Many ministers cried out in surprise.

"Full speed ahead."

"I want to know how fast this train can go." Li Zheng said.

"According to the order."

The man in front of the train replied respectfully.

Then they started to use all their strength to burn coal. The locomotive also emitted bursts of high temperature and produced more and more steam.

The speed is also getting faster and faster.

The railroad tracks built around the Ministry of Works began to run rapidly, at a speed several times faster than a horse running at full speed.

All our ministers waiting in the carriage were surprised.

Of course, there are also people who cannot adapt and vomit directly, which is inevitable.

Wait until the train stops.

Li Zheng walked down slowly and looked at the train with strong expectations in his eyes. To conquer the world for Ali Tang and control the world, this is the fundamental thing.

Su Zhi and Li Zheng came down, and all the civil and military officials in the court came down one after another.

Li Zheng turned his head and smiled at the ministers: "Everyone, how do you feel when you see this train?"

"Artifact."

“A true artifact.”

"This speed is several times faster than that of a horse. It would take several days for a war horse to reach this destination, but this train only takes one day or even half a day." Qin Jiansheng said immediately.

"If this can really be spread throughout our Great Tang, it will not only be able to transport troops, but it can also completely connect the entire Tang Dynasty." Zheng Xuan said immediately.

"The true artifact of the powerful Tang Dynasty."

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

"With this magical weapon, our Tang Dynasty will last for thousands of years."

"Your Highness, I congratulate you on obtaining this divine weapon."

All the civil and military officials in the court congratulated loudly.
