Chapter 291 Demo Train
"I really want to see the train, but I don't know if it is as beautiful as your boy said!"

Ying Zheng was there, giggling uncontrollably.

But when Ying Zheng's voice fell, Ying Changsheng who was beside him patted his chest and opened his mouth to speak.

"Of course, the train is much better than that horse!"

"The horse follows the train, which is simply insulting the train!"

"Oh?"

Hearing what Ying Changsheng said was so evil.

Brother Zheng inevitably became interested and followed Ying Changsheng's footsteps.

Then he hurried all the way to the location where the workshop was located.

The so-called location of the workshop was built outside the city. The reason for this is helpless, because the steam train needs to run on the rails during the experiment, and the rails cannot be built in Xianyang City.

Under such circumstances, the workshop had to be built outside the city, but only the land outside the workshop could be seen.

From a meandering, stretching out, nearly two miles long railway track is laid on the ground, above the railway track.

There was a steam locomotive made of steel parked at the beginning. When Ying Zheng came here, he couldn't help but frown.

He first looked there, above the ground, at the iron rails made of steel, and took a few glances. The moment he saw the rails, Ying Zheng inevitably frowned, and she opened her mouth to shout at Ying Changsheng.

"Aren't you kidding? How expensive is this steel? How much does it cost to leave it on the ground and use it for such a long time in one go?"

Just as Ying Zheng's voice fell, Ying Changsheng's voice sounded again, and Ying Changsheng said to Ying Zheng with a smile.

"Father, it doesn't cost much. For such a section of railway track, in my current Great Qin, the total amount of steel consumed is not much!"

"Could it be that you, old man, have forgotten that I, Daqin Reading Classics, have already mastered the technology of blast furnace steelmaking. As long as you want to produce steel, there is enough iron ore and coal, and you can have as much as you want!"

"This is the case!"

As soon as his voice fell, Ying Zheng's expression changed slightly.

Indeed, the current Great Qin Empire has no shortage of steel. For the current Great Qin Empire, steel is a cheap and worthless item, and you can have as much as you want.

He only saw Ying Zheng, and inevitably looked at Ying Changsheng aside, then frowned, and then looked at the railroad tracks that were winding on the ground and extended far away.

This railway track cannot be completed by just laying two tracks on the ground.

Rail tracks are difficult technology and need to be above ground level.

Lay first, the foundation is not an easy task, you need to tamp the soil first, then lay gravel on it, and then lay sleepers.

Then at the last moment the rails can be laid on it.

Go straight to Yingzheng and look at the railway tracks, the sleepers on the ground, and the gravel as the cornerstone.

He inevitably frowned and asked.

"Why should this iron car be installed on this railway track? Can't it be allowed to walk directly on land?"

"Father doesn't know that if it is traveling on other places, the resistance on the ground will be greatly increased. In addition, this train can't turn and can only travel on the rails, so it must be on the rails." Place to build railroad tracks!"

“So it’s impossible to drive without rails?”

Hearing this, Ying Zheng inevitably frowned.

He wondered if this was the case, would the cost of this railway be much higher, after all, these are two roads paved with iron.

Just when Yingzheng frowned, Gongshu Shangzao happily walked to the steam locomotive made of steel in the distance.

Then he said to the driver above and the worker who shoveled coal into the steam engine.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and start the machine!"

Gongshu Shangzao's voice just fell.

Otherwise, the driver of the train and the worker responsible for shoveling coal into the steam furnace were operating.

In an instant, he acted according to his order, after he acted.

Quickly put a few shovels of coal into the stove of the fire steam engine, and then ignite it, and start slowly with the steam engine.

For a while, there was a slight trembling sound on the ground, and it didn't take long to see it.

Black smoke billowed from the top of the steam engine. At the same time, the driver tried to open the steam valve, and then a burst of hot steam rose into the sky, and the whistle sounded.

Seeing this situation, the driver pulled the handle to start the train without hesitation. For a moment, with the rumbling vibration from the first side, the steam locomotive made of steel on the rails started to move slowly.

Then the speed became faster and faster, faster and faster.

Ying Zheng, who saw this scene for a moment, couldn't help showing a surprised expression, and then watched the steam locomotive go away from a distance.

He couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

I was overjoyed.

"What a good thing, what a good thing. It looks like it has the power of a thousand kilograms!"

"Hurry up and let him drive over, and then drive back!"

At this moment.

Ying Changsheng said to Chao Gongshu Shangzao.

Gongshu Shangzao had obviously tried it here beforehand, tried the performance of this steam train, at this moment, the moment Ying Changsheng's voice fell.

There is no hesitation in making a fortune in the public sector.

So he ordered his craftsmen to bring a horse.

The horse is an ordinary horse.

Gongshu Shangzao rode a fast horse.

When it was not too big, it successfully caught up with the steam locomotive in the distance, and then quickly ordered the driver to adjust to reverse gear, and then reversed the car.

After a while, the steam locomotive slowly retreated, and then only Gongshu Shangzochao Yingzheng said.

"Your Majesty, this steam locomotive can not only run by itself, it can also drive countless goods!"

"How much can it drive?"

When Ying Zheng arrived and was curious, he opened his mouth and asked with a smile.

Gongshu Shangzao on the side opened his mouth after thinking about it.

"Tens of thousands of catties is not a problem!"

"How many catties?"

The moment Ying Zheng heard this number, he inevitably showed a surprised expression. Tens of thousands of catties is not a small amount.

We must know that tens of thousands of catties of grain can provide soldiers with a daily ration of [-] troops.

Yingzheng said to Gongshu Shangzao in a tone that left no room for doubt.

"Do you know the fate of lying to me? Is what you just said true or false?"

"This is real!"

Gongshu Shangzao hadn't had time to speak yet.

Ying Changsheng stepped forward to remind.

He opened his mouth and said to Ying Zheng.

"Don't mention it, it's only tens of thousands of catties of grain, but he can still pull hundreds of thousands of catties of grain!"

"Hundreds of thousands of catties?"

The moment Ying Zheng heard this number, he inevitably gasped.
