There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 501 Flying speed
When they entered the platform, the Jiangnan was already waiting on the platform.

Among the 25 air-conditioned carriages, there are one air-conditioned soft seat, one air-conditioned soft sleeper, six sleeper carriages, one dining car, and sixteen ordinary hard-seat carriages.

"This thing is the train?"

Most of them saw this thing called a train for the first time, and they were not in a hurry to get into the compartment, but looked around the train.

Train train, shouldn't there be fire?

Why can't I see a little fire outside?
They just looked outside, but they couldn't find anything. Anyway, this thing is just like that tank. Why can it walk on its own even though it's a big lump of iron?Tanks have not been thoroughly studied, let alone trains.

Standing outside the train, Zhang Ruoyun also failed to study it thoroughly.

"I heard that this train only takes more than two hours from Jiangning to Hangzhou. I don't know if it's true or not. Isn't this a bit exaggerated?"

It takes two days to walk from Jiangning to Hangzhou. If you ride a horse, you can get there in one day if you work hard.

More than two hours, the time of later generations is 4-5 hours.

Everyone didn't quite believe it, but they didn't dare to ask. After all, what they saw and heard today brought them too many surprises. Now they are surprised to hear that they can travel from Jiangning to Hangzhou in more than two hours. No wonder.

Everyone enters the train.

The inside of the train is very clean, and the bright lights make people feel quite comfortable after seeing it.

All the air-conditioned carriages were turned into private seats by Li Chu, and each carriage was equipped with two LCD screens inside. At this moment, the aerial photography of Jiangning City in the waiting hall was playing.

Those who were invited were all celebrities around, and everyone knew each other naturally. The seats were random, and everyone sat together and chatted with each other.

This content is also about chatting about this train, and everyone expresses their opinions to each other.

There was a lot of excitement in the car.

"You said, this Lumen can build such a miraculous train. Why didn't the imperial court own it first? The original two-day journey would take two hours. The food is shipped to Tokyo, and the Kaifeng government doesn't have to worry about food anymore."

"Brother Zhen is right. If this thing is used properly, it will really be a major event that benefits the country and the people."

"The imperial court, hmph, the imperial court's money has been embezzled by those laborers, how can such a train be built?" The person who said this was a local Qing scholar in Jiangning. It was passed down for the ancestors, but when he met Zhu Shi, all the materials were gone and he almost lost his life. If it wasn’t for the Qilin Army who defeated Jiang Ning and killed Zhu Shi, he wouldn’t have done it now after the matter was re-examined. Sit here and talk about it with your friends.

"Brother Zhou, speak carefully."

After various conversations in the carriage, Zhang Ruoyun greeted a few friends and then sat down on a seat by the window.

The distribution of seats on this train is a bit special, they are seated in pairs of two or three or three. Here, everyone has lost the usual rules and etiquette, so they just sit casually.The four seats next to Zhang Ruoyun happened to be him, his friends and nephews.

After the flight attendant made the announcement, the train moved a short while later.

As soon as the train moved, everyone turned their attention to the outside of the window, and stretched their heads to look out of the window.

At first, the acceleration was very slow, for fear that these people would not get used to it, and then slowly increased the speed.

Even so, when the train started to move, everyone looked out of the window and felt that the things in front of them were retreating rapidly.

Zhang Ruoyun: "This..."

"Everyone, look at the man on horseback."

Just at this time, a sergeant of the Qilin Army was galloping on both sides of the railway on horseback.

The train passed him easily.

"Exceeded, exceeded!"

Inside the carriage, everyone shouted excitedly.

Riding, how fast?

It is the fastest traveling speed in today's society, but this train easily surpasses it.

The train is still speeding up.

Everyone just felt very surprised. At first they thought that the Qilin Army was bragging, it was too exaggerated, but now looking at it again, the feelings are still true.

This……

At first, everyone was still surprised and excited by the speed, but after watching for a while, the excitement subsided and gradually returned to their seats, but even so, they mentioned this matter in the conversation with friends, and the words Still with a little enthusiasm.

From Jiangning to Hangzhou, including Jiangning and Hangzhou, there are five stations.

They are Jiangning, Dantu County, Danyang County, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, Wujiang, Jiaxing, Chongde and Hangzhou.

Among them, the five stations of Jiangning, Dantu, Suzhou, Jiaxing, and Hangzhou are the stations in the system's train spree rewards.The number of stations rewarded by the system is limited after all, and Li Chu will not waste stations here for some unnecessary positions.

Not building a system station does not mean that there is no station here, but the stations in other cities have to be built by Li Chu himself.

For example, Danyang, Changzhou, Wuxi, Wujiang, and Chongde are the stations that Li Chu built with his own money.

These stations just added a few more railways to temporarily form a railway network, and then built a few parking platforms with cement. As for the waiting room, it is a simple house. It is absolutely no rush to build a system in terms of grandeur and luxury. Those stations, but the key is that it is cheap, and it can be used as a temporary stop, which is also convenient for the people nearby to travel.

Not long after the train left, it arrived in Dantu County.

Before arriving in Dantu County, the announcement on the train began to play: "Dantu County is about to arrive ahead, please get ready for passengers who need to get off at Dantu."

Dantu?

Are you in Dantu County?

Everyone in the car was stunned. After drinking tea and chatting, how long did it take to arrive in Dantu County?

If it takes a long time to walk, how long will it be?

Before these people could recover, the train started to slow down, and it entered the Dantu County Station after a while, and stopped here temporarily.

Some people still don't believe it, so they get out of the train and walk around the Dantu County Railway Station. This is a newly built station in the northeast of Dantu, at the mouth of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Here you can see many busy unloading stations. The silhouette of a boatman unloading a ship.

Many people here have been to Dantu, and naturally recognized this port.

This……

Is it really Dantu?
The train only restarted after stopping for a while at Dantu.

This time the topic in the car became lively.

If I just looked at and felt it before, but now, I have actually arrived in Dantu County, and the ferry of Dantu County is over there. This thing can't be faked.

So amidst the lively topic, the train arrived in Danyang again.

The broadcast began to play: "Danyang County is about to arrive ahead, please get ready for passengers who need to get off at Danyang."

Are you in Danyang again?
Everyone: "..."

PS: Thanks to the book friend 'I told you to be angry' for the reward of 100 starting coins.
