Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

No wonder there was an application from the research institute before, saying that they wanted to get some money, Zhang Nuo saw that the amount was not particularly large and agreed without asking.

But I didn't expect this group of people to have leisure time to do this, Zhang Nuo didn't know what to say to them.

You say it’s not necessary, it’s really nice to make it like this. After all, anyone who is a bit careful about the cars of later generations still tidy up their cars, even if they don’t modify them, they can get some small stickers or something. The last thing is to wash the car several times to make your car look more energetic.

Even cars with the lowest price equivalent to a few iPhones in later generations can do this, so it's no wonder that Xu Bowen and the others are going to put silver wires on the trains.

It's just that these fools have never thought about it. This train is going to be parked outside in the wind and sun. How long can this silver wire last?

Sigh, forget it, don’t worry about it, it’s all done anyway, just stop doing it after mentioning it when the time comes, how much money will it cost if every train does this.

But today is the first public operation of the train, so let's pay attention to the results of the operation here, and other things can be discussed afterwards.

This time, the train has only two passenger carriages, four freight carriages at the back, and a flat carriage. At this time, the staff of the station are stacking goods on it in a strange way, and at the same time, with the assistance of the research staff, they are doing a good job. register.

This was specially prepared to test the load this time. A batch of timber that had just been transported to Pyongyang City from other places two days ago was about to be sent to the port area, but it happened to be here to test the railway, so it happened to be used All weighings were done in two days.

The flatbed truck was used to stack and bind wood, and the freight car was loaded with some grain and daily necessities, and if there were two cars, it happened to be a few researchers plus Zhang Nuo and his personal guards.

Of course, there were still other guests here today, so Hou Junji looked at the big guy in front of him in bewilderment.

How much steel does this cost? There is so much steel, why not use it to make armor and weapons?

But he only dared to murmur these words in his heart, and he didn't dare to say them at all, because this His Highness seems to be more domineering than His Majesty, and His Majesty accepts advice with an open mind, and this one basically doesn't listen to what he doesn't like to hear, which is annoying If it doesn't work out, he will have to be beaten.

This is what Cheng Yaojin told him at that time!

In fact, the main reason is that Cheng Yaojin has a stinky mouth and likes to beep beeps. There is nothing to do with him in other places on weekdays. After all, the value of force is not low, but Zhang Nuo is not used to it, and he must be beaten if he needs to be beaten!

At this time, everyone started to board the car according to the guidance of the staff of the research institute, and entered the compartment in an orderly manner to sit. This test is about to begin, and it is time to start a great era.

Chapter 577

With the sound of a high-pitched whistle, the whole train slowly began to move forward.

The passenger carriages are made of wooden seats, all of which are the simplest style of back chairs. The picture shows simplicity and convenience.

Because glass is still a rare item produced in small quantities in Lantian City, there is no such thing as Pyongyang City.

Moreover, the production of large pieces of flat glass is also very troublesome, so the windows on the current trains are all wooden window leaves.

Since many sound insulation materials are not yet available, sitting in this carriage, as the speed slowly increases, is almost like sitting next to a stone crusher, the deafening sound of the steam engine running, the sound of the carriage running on the rails, It was ringing in my ears continuously.

It's okay for Zhang Nuo, after all, in the later generations, there is a lot of noise everywhere, and he has seen people who are more tossed than this, but for people of this era, this shit is a bit unbearable.

Hou Junji's face was turned pale by the sound right now, he was almost going crazy, why is this thing moving so loudly.

However, as an excellent general, he keenly discovered the value of this thing called a train.

Because after a period of speeding up, the speed of the train has basically reached the normal operating speed, that is, the operating speed of [-] kilometers per hour.

This speed has exceeded the daily raid speed of cavalry.

Of course, Hou Junji refers to the speed of a normal solo rider. After all, it is impossible for a horse to sprint or run for a long time with a cavalry on its back. Otherwise, the horse will be useless before reaching the destination. Of course, it is like a station. Those who change horses without changing people like that are not included.

But just like that, Hou Junji did some simple calculations and found out that if the train could run day and night as His Highness King Qin said, it would be faster than the speed of eight hundred miles in one day.

Moreover, looking at how many people and things were pulled back and forth, if the railway was built all the way to the border, wouldn't it mean that in just a few days, the court could mobilize a large number of troops and supplies directly to the border? To the border?

At the same time, during the transportation process, soldiers and horses are resting, which is very beneficial to the maintenance of combat power.

You know, if you support a certain place thousands of miles away on weekdays, even cavalry can be considered well-trained if they can maintain half of their combat strength there.

But here, Hou Junji has already observed that the size of the carriage is fixed, but the things inside can be adjusted at any time.

So since chairs can be placed, can it be made into beds for soldiers to sleep all the way?

Of course, the sound is a bit loud, and it may not be as comfortable as sleeping in the barracks, but compared with the hard work of riding a horse for thousands of miles, what is there to dislike?

It has to be said that Hou Junji is indeed an excellent general with a flexible mind in military matters. He almost instantly thought of the greatest role of trains in military affairs - strategic transportation.

I even thought on a whim, if there is such a railway, can it be built directly to Tubo?At that time, the sergeants will be able to reach their destinations directly and easily, so will the impact of Qi diseases on the plateau be reduced a lot?

Not to mention the style of Hou Junji's soldiers who want to fight here and there, but if Zhang Nuo knew that Hou Junji came up with the trick of sleeping berths just because he wanted to ensure the efficiency and combat effectiveness of his soldiers, Zhang Nuo probably would Nuo would vomit blood.

Two hours later, the train slowly entered the port railway station.

Li Miaoshu, the admiral of the port area, had already stood on the platform. After all, Zhang Nuo was coming, although it was just for verification, would he dare to come to greet him?

Zhang Nuo just nodded at Li Miaoshu as if he had seen it, and then he stared intently at the unloading of the goods, and at the same time, the people in the research institute were blushing with joy and began to check the operation of the train.

And the train staff, who had been prepared for a long time, began to add coal and water to the train with a little rustiness.

There is no coal water car for this operation. After all, the distance between the two places is only [-] kilometers, and adding a heavy coal water car is a waste of transportation capacity.

However, the latest tender water car is already under development, and it will be hung directly behind the front of the car during long-distance transportation in the future.

As for now, it's better not to waste that capacity. The current arrangement of adding water and coal a few times back and forth is quite good. After all, it takes time to load and unload cargo.

The railway station is intermodal with the port area, which means that the port area is actually behind the train station. The goods unloaded here can easily enter the port area warehouse, and then wait for the right time to be transported directly on board.

And it’s not just trains that are going to be tested today. The ship that has completed the sea trial has been manufactured in the port area here. Today, this batch of goods will be sent directly to Weihai Port on Shandong Road. While carrying things back.

Today, Zhang Nuo not only wants to take the train, he also plans to take a sea boat to visit Shandong Road. He wants to find a suitable port area there. After all, he wants to build Datang’s shipping network, only Pyongyang Road. Building a port area is useless.

Cao Xing's calves were trembling at the moment, he really didn't expect his highness to think of it as soon as he came out, he had just finished testing the steel machine, and he was about to take a boat to Shandong Road.

How dangerous it is on this vast sea, if there is any problem at that time, how will he protect His Highness?It's good that he won't become a burden by then.
