Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 56 Silver Dragon
"Ha ha."

Shang Luo supported his knees, gasping for breath.Although he was dragged to run over, he didn't expect that he could run so fast.The other Jinyiwei were better, but they ran over with all their strength, and they were all panting for breath while holding on to the handrails.

Passengers around glanced at them, then continued to look down at their books.

The tram's hydraulic doors slammed shut behind it, and overhead there was the crackling of the catenary.Tram No. 1719 on the Chuansha Line of the Metropolitan Railway departs on time.

Driving from the platform into the tunnel, the familiar smell floated into Shangluo's nose—it was coal dust, but it was lighter than when I was a child.

Yujing's subway line was still running with steam locomotives until 4 years ago.However, after the civil power grid was put into operation, the "state-owned Yujing Railway" carried out the electrification transformation of the entire line immediately, followed by the "Metropolitan Railway".After all, the city railway only transports people and seats, and there is no need for such a large torque provided by a steam engine.

Using a steam locomotive to run the subway is even more of a bad idea that some living Hades came up with.Summer in the Yangtze River Delta is inherently hot, and the tunnel filled with steam is like a giant inline steamer. Every summer, hundreds of people are fainted by the steam and high temperature.

The smell of coal still echoes on the lines of the Metropolitan Railroad.As a private rail transit operating company, their views on line maintenance are somewhat different from those of state-owned railways, as long as they can be used.

"Cough, this smell is really nostalgic. Lu Qianhu, how long should we sit?"

Lu Huaiyang raised his head and glanced at the route list: "From the airport connection line to Chuansha Main Station, go under the Huangpu River, then go to Songjiang North Station at Wusongkou, about 30 minutes away, and then transfer to the Beijing-Shanghai Main Line at the platform. .have you ever sat before?"

"No. I don't remember the line when I went to San Francisco."

"Then your eyes will be wide open."

"Songjiang North Station, we're here. Please get off at this station if you transfer to the state-run Beijing-Shanghai Main Line, Beijing-Shanghai Line, Su-Shanghai Line and Metropolitan Wusong Line."

The conductor made an announcement on the walkie-talkie, and Shang Luo stood on the platform, facing a silver metal wall.

"Lu Qianhu, where should we transfer?"

"It's here, right here. Look up."

Shangluo raised his head slowly - above the high silver wall, a cab appeared 8 meters in the air.On the back of the driver's cab, there are three large characters of "Yinlong" written in the standard pavilion style.

The track width is 3 meters, the car width is 6 meters and the height is 8 meters.The huge train was parked on the platform, and the whole car was wrapped in a streamlined silver fairing. There was white steam coming out of the roof, which was the giant beast lurking its claws and claws.The carriages extend back to 200 meters. There are a total of five carriages, each of which is 8 meters high and 6 meters wide.The locomotive at the front is so big that it even has to be divided into two sections, the front and the rear, and the two sections are connected to each other with pipelines.

This is the Yinlong high-speed train operating on the Beijing-Shanghai trunk line.On the 3-meter wide-gauge high-speed railway, the train is propelled by two "gas generator steam engines", which can drive this 1500-ton monster to run on the seamless steel rail at a high speed of 223 kilometers per hour.The joints of each rail are seamlessly welded with dragon scale welding, ensuring that passengers in the two-story full-height carriages can spend their journeys smoothly.After the opening of this line, the journey between Beijing and Shanghai was compressed to less than 2 hours.

"Let's go, get in the car." Lu Huaiyang finally relaxed a lot.When we got here, we were only half a step away from home.

Everything in Yujing is well organized, just like a train timetable.There will be no suddenly jammed engines, no bombs falling from the sky, and no super-powered criminals.

Life in Kinai has always been like this.When the outside world is ups and downs, every day here is a time of peace and prosperity.Without much effort, everyone can have a decent job and be a decent human being.

Everywhere in Kinei is decent.As the latest masterpiece of the empire in the field of engineering, the Silver Dragon embodies the dignity of Yujing in every way.The high platform is flush with the carriages, and passengers boarding the train can walk smoothly into the carriages without climbing the stairs.Bypassing the escalator going upstairs, they walked into the carriage on the first floor.

There are three rows of seats in the 6-meter-wide carriage, and each row is an independent box.The ticket in the middle is slightly cheaper, and the boxes on both sides can enjoy the large windows exclusively.

Jin Yiwei, of course, bought the ticket in the middle.Even if it is reimbursement, it can be saved as much as possible, and Wei Li's funds are not much.They are group travelers, so buying a private room is a cheaper option.

"Here we are, right here." Lu Huaiyang opened the door of the box and motioned for Shang Luo and Wen Yuan to enter.

"Others get their tickets and take their seats first. Then you can change it yourself if you want, anyway, we bought the box."

He stood at the door and watched the other guards in Jin Yi take their seats before he entered the door himself.

"what."

Sitting on the soft seat, Lu Huaiyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.Personal enjoyment is not too important to him, but the conditions along the way are as bad as home.Yangzhou was also exhausted, and the work of investigating Las Vegas also ended with the explosion in Las Vegas.

He wasn't about to complain, though.It is precisely because of Jin Yiwei and other responsible people standing half a world away that Yujing, the center of the world, can maintain the current peace and prosperity.

"If you want to drink water, you can pour it yourself. There are both hot and cold water. Are you hot?"

"I'm fine. How about you?" Shang Luo asked Wen Yuan next to him.

"I'm a little hot, so I turned on the air conditioner?"

"Then go ahead. But is there air-conditioning on this train?" Shang Luo was shocked, "I remember department stores, hotels and cruise ships have air-conditioning, and this train also has it?"

"Don't talk about the air conditioner, there is a movie theater above your head, and there is everything in this car." Wen Yuan opened a small brass shutter against the wall, and the cool breeze mixed with the aroma of jasmine flowed through the window. blow.

"Ah!!! Come back to life, come back to life." Wen Yuan opened her collar facing the air vent, letting the cold wind blow in.

[This train is of a certain level and has been used for commercial operation. Zhendan's movements are really fast. 】

"you know too?"

[Constantinople has a Eurasian railway plan, which should be called the 'Great Western Railway' plan in Cathay.This line should be the experimental line of the Eurasian Railway. The cinema upstairs is prepared for intercontinental travel, and the air conditioner is adapted to the climate of different regions.The same type of car in Rome is still in the garage. Alexander and Athens have their own plans, and they are still hiring people to deliver notes to the Senate.I think they will be finished sooner or later, and most of them will end up with all the Aurora products as before.Forget it, I've come all the way to surrender, so I don't care what they are doing.You sit a little closer to the air conditioner, I'll blow the air conditioner too. 】
