The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son

Emperor Hongzhi entered the car, which was completely different from what he had imagined. The car gave a comfortable feeling.

The Empress Dowager had already helped him and sat down on the sofa.

Emperor Hongzhi sat beside him, and Zhu Houzhao, the boy, was gone.

Fang Jifan felt that he was a little bit hatred at the moment.

As a result, he became silent with interest.

But this atmosphere ... seems a bit awkward.

After a while, the steam train finally started to tremble.

Emperor Hongzhi was obviously shocked, and subconsciously grabbed the handle of the sofa.

The Empress Dowager Zhou squinted him, and said leisurely, "What are you afraid of?"

Emperor Hongzhi blushed and was a little embarrassed.

The jitter in the carriage began to increase.

Emperor Hongzhi was even more disturbed, and his face was a little bad.

Instead, Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Majesty took this car at first, and it was occasionally uncomfortable. It is also a matter of course. Your Majesty, it will be better soon."

The train finally started to move, and it was moving slowly, but the rumbling sound was amazing. The rattling sound of the wheel and rails made the emperor Hongzhi thrilling, as if he were inside the monster and started to live.

In the second car, Xiao Jing screamed, mixed in the noise.

Of course, no one ignored him.

The Empress Dowager sat steadily, with no expression on his face, but a solitary face, which dispelled the embarrassment of Emperor Hongzhi.

You see, such old ladies are so calm, how can they be afraid of being emperor?

Soon, the train began to run slowly, first sliding out of the station, and then, the outside lighted up.

The train began to be under inertia, coupled with the poor power, the speed began to accelerate.

Even if it is faster, it is only more than 20 kilometers per hour. For Fang Jifan, it is already as slow as cattle.

But its biggest advantage is that the power is sustained. When the animals are tired, the road will be congested. But the train only needs to follow the railway line, and the speed can be forwarded at a constant speed.

Emperor Hongzhi turned his head and saw the sky outside the window. Numerous scenes passed in his eyes. The vibration finally began to become smaller. I wonder if it was a habit of gradually or other reasons.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was full of shock.

"Why is this car driven?" Emperor Hongzhi finally asked.

Fang Jifan said quickly: "Your Majesty is the perseverance and filial piety of His Royal Highness, as well as the original intention of serving the people of the world!"

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, gloomy, and glared at Fang Jifan: "Speak human."

Yeah, why is this not human language, the empress dowager likes to listen to this.

Fang Jifan was a bit overwhelmed, so he took a deep breath and instantly switched from the liberal arts student model to the science student model.

"Your Majesty, when the prince and the son inspected the boiling water, the pot was heated and steam was generated in the water, so the lid could be opened, so it was known that the steam could actually produce force. His Royal Highness was excited Extremely, since this water vapor can generate heat and lift the lid of the pot, can more water vapor generate more force like windmills and waterwheels. "

"Windmills and waterwheels rely on wind power and hydraulic power, but these two forces are too dependent on natural conditions. God doesn't wind, so the windmill is useless, and the waterwheel is not built next to the water flow. It ’s useless. But it ’s hot, but it can be artificial. Over the past few years, His Royal Highness Prince and Sons have figured out this joint and have been recruiting hundreds of thousands of craftsmen in this direction, spending countless gold. Silver, reading ancient books at the same time, tried again and again. In the past two years, has your Majesty found that His Royal Highness is more silent than before? "

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head.

Uh, this is a bit embarrassing.

"After spending countless efforts, the problem of using water vapor was finally solved. His Royal Highness, the coal was burned to produce steam. The steam followed a special pipeline into the transmission system. The transmission system used piston movement ... "

Fang Jifan constantly explained how this car works.

In fact, even he knew nothing about it. These jumbled and difficult mechanics knowledge, to be honest, is not what Fang Jifan is good at, he is more of a proposition, which is more general.

For the first time, mankind began to use water vapor, or to build steam trains. On this way, in fact, he took countless detours. Each detour was delayed for years or even decades. Fang Jifan proposed a direction, And countless of the smartest craftsmen in the world, under the leadership of Zhu Houzhao, can work in one direction.

Since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of skilled craftsmen, not to mention, the previous engineering college and laid some foundations, plus the emergence of a large number of Flemish captives, so that East and West technology began to spread.

Daming in this era has a relatively open attitude to foreign things. From the middle of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were a large number of missionaries who came here with new technologies. Many scholars and scholars insisted on learning. Attitude, with their knowledge, has improved many things.

Fang Jifan tried his best to explain the truth of the steam train.

Emperor Hongzhi only realized.

At this moment, there was no fear in him.

That ’s how people are, and such a terrible monster suddenly appears, and everyone will be afraid of it, but once you tell him, what the **** is going on, oh, it turns out, but it ’s just intercepting the steam, like the heat I opened the teapot and used a lot of heat to make it move.

Emperor Hongzhi regained his **** face: "It is not easy to make this thing."

Fang Jifan said in earnest: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince and countless craftsmen have spent two or three years of hard work. In order to overcome one difficulty after another, many people can be described as painstaking efforts, and some people even forget sleep and sleep. For continuous development, improved Many steel forging techniques have improved the modeling method ... and improved in many disciplines. "

This is a great initiative no less than the Manhattan project.

Its advantage lies in that, in order to overcome many difficulties, countless machinery manufacturing, carpentry, smelting, and many basic disciplines have been greatly developed.

These cutting-edge skills have created a steam train, but in fact, with the help of these in the future, many machines will emerge.

The emperor Hongzhi was still angry, but at this time, the train was still rumbling forward. The noisy noise and vibration, perhaps because the body had adapted, there was no fear, no When he felt uncomfortable, he frowned, but at this moment, he was shocked: "This car can be driven only by laying the rails?"

"Yes." Fang Jifan said with a smile: "After laying the rails, you can drive, and you can travel eighty miles in one hour."

The speed is 20 kilometers per hour, which is forty miles. This speed, in later generations, is equivalent to that of a battery car. It can be stable and there is no traffic jam.

Fang Jifan was not satisfied with this motivation.

But Emperor Hongzhi's feelings were different. His first reaction was to take a breath of gas. It seemed to be shocked by the speed.

The fast horse can whip, it can travel hundreds of miles a day, but the problem is that such a knight, after special training, requires constant transfer, and can only be used for the transmission of letters.

Fang Jifan said again: "However, the biggest use of this car is that it can carry tens of thousands of kilograms or even 100,000 kilograms."

These words directly embarrassed Emperor Hongzhi.

One hundred thousand catties, not much, that is, one hundred tons, many?

This train is simply the weak chicken of the train.

This load capacity is the load capacity of a train wagon in later generations.

But Emperor Hongzhi was completely shocked.

He was silent, thinking fast in his head.

"That is to say, if you go from the new city to the old city, you can carry 100,000 jin of goods, or ... is it to carry thousands of people, and it will arrive at dawn?"

"It's only forty miles, it doesn't need to be in the morning, it's about half an hour, and it will probably arrive. If it is a passenger, it may need to stop halfway, but for most of the hour, it is completely sufficient. I have already thought about it. On this rail line, a few more trains will be opened to fight. Every half hour, at every station, there will be a train stop. "

Actually ... can also be added.

This is truly horrible traffic.

It ’s okay to drive a car back and forth. If it ’s a number of cars, it will drive back and forth day and night. Is n’t it possible to achieve a seamless connection between the goods and manpower transmission in this new city and the old city?

Especially in the old city, the canal is connected, and the canal will send countless goods to the old city. Does this new city take advantage of the water transportation convenience of the old city?

Not only that, but the flow of people ...

Rumble ... Rumble ...

The roar of the train was actually in the ear of the emperor Hongzhi, surprisingly pleasant.

There was a little excitement in the voice of Emperor Hongzhi: "Interesting, interesting, I have never seen such a delicate thing in the world ~ www.readwn.com ~ It costs a lot to make this thing ... It's amazing. "

"Not many. From the development, to the workshops specially built for it, there are rails, steam train manufacturing, and the manpower hired. So far, it has cost nearly 30 million two."

All right, Emperor Hongzhi's face was very real, and he immediately rose.

Silver, 30 million two, these two **** prodigals.

Fang Jifan continued: "However, in the future, only the laying of rails will greatly reduce the cost, and every other rail can control the cost of 132,000 silver."

"Besides ..." Fang Jifan said happily: "Your Majesty, the son has something to do, and forgot to report, the land of this old city ..."

...

I got up at four o'clock today, the first one arrived, and today I started to make more changes. First, I returned the yesterday's one.
