Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

However, Chen Ying did not do that.In order not to make her sad, Chen Ying took the risk of offending Li Jiancheng and sent Li Shimin to Fusang mainland.

Now that Li Shimin sent Cheng Zhijie back, Li Jiancheng will definitely be furious, it is inevitable.

In Li Jiancheng's view, Chen's response to him was a betrayal, a naked betrayal.

Li Xiuning gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go back to Chang'an and explain to Da Lang..."

"Actually, no need!" Chen Ying shook his head and said, "I believe His Majesty will understand. If he doesn't understand, no matter what I do, I will continue!"

After all, in terms of certain needs, men come and go quickly, not as long as women come.Even though Chen Ying insisted on exercising all the time, Li Daozhen, Xu Erniang, and Fukada Kanon still made Chen Ying feel pain and happiness.

Four days later, Chen Ying had no choice but to sleep with his son Chen Qian, and finally escaped the catastrophe.

……

On the fifth day, Chen Ying walked towards Shule College with dark circles under his eyes.

In Shule College, Chen Ying saw the steam engine that he dreamed of day and night. How would he describe it?This thing can only be described as stupid, big and rough, very old-fashioned, but the disadvantages of this steam engine are very obvious, very high, as high as three feet and two feet, the whole body is made of bearing steel, 24 wheels, I really want it Later steam locomotives.

As far as the power mechanism is concerned, there are no detours. Due to the appearance of cotton in Anxi, especially the army under Chen Ying, it is different from other armies in Datang. Since the era of the right guard, the soldiers under Chen Ying have not issued silk , and the direct distribution of ready-made garments, like the original tens of thousands of pieces, it is not impossible to adopt the method of manual sewing, but it will take more time and hire more manpower.

However, with the establishment of Anxi Army up to 40, the number of uniforms per year alone is as high as [-]. This is no longer something that can be easily done by relying on a large number of people.

What's more, after the common people were assigned to the fields, it was already very difficult to recruit people.Chen Ying relied on the opinions of later generations and asked craftsmen to create a pedal-type sewing machine.

The driving principle of the current steam engine is still this kind of crank linkage.

The steam engine locomotive at this time was different from that of later generations. Before Chen Ying invented the locomotive, he first built a Chidao. Although it was called a Chidao, it was actually a double-track railway with a width of about one foot and two feet.And the width of the tracks of this train is all one foot and two feet, and the length is about ten feet and six feet.

Flavi Zeno bowed and said, "Your Excellency, do you want to test the car?"

Chen Ying patted Flavi Zeno on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Lao Qi, even the steam engine has been made!"

Flavi Zeno carefully explained: "Your Excellency, my surname is Flavi..."

Zhou Qing's eyes widened, and he yelled at Flavi Zeno: "Hurry up and thank the lord for giving me your surname!"

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Flavi Zeno hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency the Duke, for giving me your surname!"

Hearing this, Chen Ying didn't reprimand Zhou Qing.Instead, he explained to Flavi Zeno with great interest: "Old Qi, this Qi family is a descendant of Jiang Shang, a descendant of the Jiang family, one of the eight surnames in ancient times, and takes the country as his surname."

Flavi Zeno asked suspiciously: "Ancient?"

Chen Ying nodded solemnly and said: "That's right, the Jiang family can be interpreted as your original Greek god's residence. In our China, in ancient times, there were eight surnames: Pu, Jiang, Ji, Ying, 妘, 妫, Yao, and Si. And the Jiang family is Shennong’s name is Jiangshui, and Shennong’s is equivalent to Apollo in Greece. About 2000 years ago, Jiang Shang, the master of hundreds of schools, named Qi State, and his descendants are Qi.”

Originally, Flavi Zeno was still a little reluctant, but after hearing that his ancestor of the Qi family was so awesome that he was actually Apollo, he no longer resisted in his heart.Don't think that finding a celebrity ancestor for yourself is the exclusive property of Chinese people. In fact, foreigners also like to pretend to be ancestors in this way.Thus, Flavi Zeno became Zeno.

Chen Yingdao: "Test drive!"

With the sound of chugging and chugging, the big chimney above the front of the car also began to emit a large puff of white smoke, Chen Ying simply got on his horse and waited for the front of the car to start.

After a loud noise from the front of the car, the crankshaft, which looked thicker than an adult's arm, began to drive the wheels to rotate, and then there was a constant bang, bang, and the whole front of the car began to slowly move forward with the carriage .

However, what made Chen Ying extremely distressed was that the speed of this steam engine train was really unflattering.

Not to mention galloping war horses, even Chen Ying can keep up on foot. According to Chen Ying's walking speed, it is about six or seven kilometers per hour, just like a snail crawling.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Six to seven kilometers, even if it does not stop day and night, it is more than 100 kilometers a day, more than 200 miles.It will take more than a month to reach Chang'an from Anxi.

This speed is not even comparable to the speed of a four-wheeled carriage on the driveway.However, a train is a train after all.

Although the speed of the four-wheeled carriage is faster than that of the steam engine train at this time, it is still limited.The biggest advantage of the steam engine train is the low transportation cost.Moreover, the transportation volume is astonishing. The carriage capacity on the galloping road is far greater than that of a four-wheeled carriage on ordinary roads, but it is also limited, at most it can carry more than six thousand catties.

However, this steam engine train hangs twelve rows of ten feet six feet long, or about (24.91) meters, and a width of about one foot two feet (2.82 meters), which is almost the same size as the passenger trains of later generations.

However, Chen Ying's face immediately turned dark.

Because he discovered that this steam engine train actually has a very tricky operation, that is, there is combustible coal behind the locomotive, but it does not need to be shoveled into the furnace by shovel by shovel, but uses the transmission mechanism of the steam engine to adopt The way the gears are decelerated creates a conveyor belt similar to the assembly line of later generations.

This Chen Ying was still powerless to complain. The most important thing was that the burnt cinders were thrown out of the car by means of a conveyor belt, and fell on the side of the railroad tracks on the driveway.

And it can also be seen that this experimental train has been tested repeatedly, and there are coal slags that can almost cover the feet on both sides of the rails on the running track.

Cinders are not a good thing, but they should not be placed indiscriminately. If the train runs for a long time, the cinders may flood the rails. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there is little rain in Anxi. , will not form a sandstorm?

Seeing Chen Ying's unfriendly expression, the former Flavi Zeno, now the current Zeno hurried forward and explained: "Your Excellency, the speed still needs some time to be faster!"

Chen Ying pointed to the conveyor belt that discharges the cinders and said, "Whose idea is this?"

Zeno carefully looked at a craftsman with a simple and honest face beside him.

The craftsman said with a happy face: "This is made by grass people!"

Chen Ying turned to look at the guards behind him. At this time, the train had only traveled less than five miles.A layer of cinders had fallen on all of them, and the originally black armor seemed to have turned gray.

Chen Yingdao: "What's your name?"

The simple and honest craftsman bowed and said: "Crassman Luo Shiming, from Guangzhou, Huainan Road (today's Xinyang, Henan Province)..."

Before Luo Shiming finished speaking, Chen Ying waved his hands and said, "Come here, whip him twenty lashes, let him have a long memory!"

Chen Ying had always governed Anxi with military law, and there was no saying in Anxi that the military could not interfere in government affairs. Immediately, two personal guards stopped Luo Shiming, raised their whips, and began to beat him cracklingly.

At this moment, the train began to speed up significantly, even if it was trotting forward, it could no longer keep up.As the steam engine train billows of smoke, the speed of the train is getting faster and faster.

Chen Ying had no choice but to speed up. Fortunately, Chen Ying's guard horses were all good horses, so they could barely keep up.Yili horses, Sanhe horses, and Tubo horses are not good at sprinting, but they have good endurance.Their speed can run to about 35 kilometers or [-] kilometers per hour.

As the train continued to speed up, after chasing for three or four miles, the war horse was already exhausted.However, Chen Ying's men are all riding three horses, so don't worry, just change horses and continue chasing.

At this moment, the speed of the train began to slowly decrease.

It turned out that the end of the experiment had arrived.

Chen Ying looked at Qinuo and said, "How long is this distance?"

Zeno said: "Twenty miles!"

Chen Ying asked again: "How long will it take?"

Zeno said, "A quarter of an hour."

Chen Ying nodded. One hour and four quarters of an hour can run almost eighty miles, which means forty kilometers.Although this speed is not fast, in this era, it is already a rare lightning speed.
