When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 595 The Birth of the Train

Cao Cao, who often went in and out of the General's Mansion, discovered something wrong. Why did Zhuge Jun, who had just been transferred to Liu Bei's side some time ago, disappear in recent days?
Zhuge Jin was broad-minded, kind, honest, and capable, and was known as a tiger minister.

His younger brother Zhuge Liang was called "Wolong" by the current emperor a long time ago. Over the years, no matter what political affairs Zhuge Liang was involved in, he almost succeeded in everything he did.

Cao Cao admired Zhuge Liang's talents.

Due to the influence of Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jun, as the third brother, enjoyed high praise both in the court and among the people.

Many people call Zhuge Jun, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang the three heroes of the Zhuge family.

Liu Bei transferred Zhuge Jun to be his personal guard. Cao Cao, who was familiar with Liu Bei, naturally wanted to understand Liu Bei's thoughts and was determined to train Zhuge Jun personally.

Since you wanted to train Zhuge Jun personally, why did you let him go?

Cao Cao really couldn't figure it out, so he asked in his spare time, "Xuan De, why don't you see Xiao Ping?"

"It is a waste of Xiaoping's talent to let him serve as my personal guard. In order to let Xiaoping show his talents, I ask the emperor to transfer Xiaoping to the Shangfang Palace."

"what?"

Cao Cao never expected that Liu Bei would give such an answer. Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang were both talented in both civil and military affairs, and their brother Zhuge Jun must be no worse. Wouldn't it be a waste of Zhuge Jun's talent and ability to let him serve as an official in the Shangfang Mansion?
Could it be that Zhuge Xiaoping offended Liu Bei?
Cao Cao secretly looked at Liu Bei's expression, but he didn't look angry!
Could it be that what Xuande said was true?

Cao Cao carefully recalled the tone of Liu Bei's words just now. Xuande's tone did not sound like a lie.
Cao Cao felt more and more confused. Shangfang Mansion was a mysterious place in the eyes of all the court officials, and even the Shangshu Tai did not know the specific things inside.

Even Wang Can, who was lucky enough to enter, was strictly required to keep it confidential. Only the emperor and Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jia Xu and others knew the secrets of Shangfang Mansion.

The only thing we know is that there are many craftsmen in Shangfang Mansion.

But the status of craftsmen is usually not high.
No matter how mysterious the Shangfang Mansion was, wouldn't it ruin his future to let Zhuge Jun, who had a promising future, work in the Shangfang Mansion?

If it were anyone else, Cao Cao would be certain that the other person was suppressing Zhuge Jun.

It was Liu Bei who did this.
Based on his understanding of Liu Bei, Cao Cao made a decision quickly. There must be a hidden meaning behind Xuande's actions!
He didn't expect that it wasn't Liu Bei's problem, it must be his problem!
Thinking of the map Liu Bei had taken out before, Cao Cao's idea became more and more determined, so that his eyes sparkled and he said confidently: "Xuan De, I understand! You must be doing this to give the world a surprise. Before this surprise comes out, it needs to be kept strictly confidential! Xiaoping is the key to achieving this surprise!"

Liu Bei was slightly surprised. The change in Cao Cao's expression just now was very interesting, so interesting that it seemed as if he had imagined a good show in his mind.

He wanted to explain something, but Cao Cao was one step ahead and spoke out his guess, and it turned out to be true.

After returning to the Han Dynasty from the fairyland, Zhuge Jun took the initiative to volunteer to participate in the reproduction of the steam engine.

So Liu Bei wrote to the emperor, transferred Zhuge Jun to the Shangshu Mansion, and appointed Zhuge Jun to the newly created position of Jijiu.

The newly established Jijiu position in Shangfang Mansion was not Liu Bei's idea, but a big surprise given to him by Zhuge Jun.

After intensive study in the fairyland, Zhuge Jun not only made up for some basic knowledge of physics and chemistry, but also found a way to solve the problem of insufficient sealing of the steam engine.

Zhuge Jun even conducted experiments himself. When he was in the fairyland, Zhuge Jun borrowed money from Zhang Fei and bought natural rubber for verification. It turned out that rubber could hardly withstand high temperature and high pressure.

On the contrary, tung oil and hemp rope could solve the problem at hand. Zhuge Jun was overjoyed and quickly recorded the verification process.

Liu Bei flipped through Zhuge Jun's experimental records, and was stunned by both the process and the conclusion. He never expected that Zhuge Jun's experimental records were so logically clear that even a layman like him could understand the general idea.

Even when Director Zhen showed Zhuge Jun's experimental records to his friends in related majors, they praised him for his logic and format.

This is why Zhuge Jun took the initiative to volunteer.

When Liu Xie learned about this, he was overjoyed and almost broke the throne in excitement. He made a bold statement, "Okay, okay, now that you have iron chariots, build them for me! Build me a highway! I want to build it to India! I want to build it to Parthia! I want to build it to Daqin! I want the iron chariots of the Han Dynasty to travel thousands of miles!"

If it weren't for Liu Bei's persuasion, Liu Xie would have announced it to the world on the spot and bestowed great honors on Zhuge Jun.

The problem has been solved, but haven’t the train and the track been assembled yet?
We should choose a day so that all officials can see with their own eyes what the train looks like when it starts moving, and then take the opportunity to announce the conferring of the title of marquis to the craftsman official.

Liu Xie agreed readily.

However, it had to be kept secret before that. Liu Bei was worrying about how to tell Cao Cao, but Cao Cao actually understood it himself.

Liu Bei held Cao Cao's hand and assured him, "Meng De, this surprise is definitely good news that will benefit the country and the people!"

"Haha, then I'll wait and see!"

Not long after, everyone from the three dukes and nine ministers to the counselors and officials received the emperor's order: hurry to the Chang'an Chidao Station.

This confused all the officials, as they had no idea what the purpose of going to Chidao was.

Horse-drawn carts are nothing new.

With doubts and puzzlement, all the officials drove to Chang'an Chidao Station. The road was full of imperial guards, and the closer they got to the destination, the more imperial guards there were.

This made the officials more and more curious. "What on earth could have happened to alarm the imperial guards?"

When the officials arrived at Chang'an Chidao Station, they were struck by lightning as soon as they got off the train. They stood there in a daze, their eyes wide open, staring at the scene in disbelief.

What did they see?
There was actually a steel behemoth parked on the original wooden track!

The beast's body alone was several dozen feet long! It could swallow a strong man in one gulp!
Many officials turned pale and their legs went weak with fear. If they hadn't had someone to support them, they would have collapsed to the ground out of fear.

Soon someone discovered the clues, and Cao Cao was one of them.

They shouted at the top of their lungs: "Don't panic, everyone. This thing is not a giant beast, but a weapon, a weapon of the big man!"

instrument?

How could there be such a huge machine in the world?
What is the purpose of this machine? Could it be running on tracks?
And slow!

What is that? How did the wooden track become iron?!
