Chapter 759

"Wuwu..."

The siren of the steam locomotive sounded at Qingzhou station, and there were a lot of people on both sides of the railway. Today's trial operation of the steam locomotive attracted many Qingzhou people to come and see.

Looking at such a magnificent scene, Xiao Ming is happy that his country has missed the golden age of scientific and technological development, and now he will not let his ruling country shame.

For him, today's trial operation of steam locomotives is a historic event for Dayu to surpass the West in science and technology. In the future, Dayu's new science and technology will only continue to emerge and catch up with the West in an all-round way.

"The emperor."

Lin Wentao is taking the students to make a final inspection of the steam engine locomotive, which is about to drive out of the city.

Xiao Ming and Princess Pingyang had already come to the steam locomotive, and behind them were the officials of the railway department.

Stepping on the track under his feet, Xiao Ming asked, "is the track laid according to the established track standard?"

Lin Wentao was also a little excited today. He said: "the next official has issued the emperor's track standard to the railway department, and now every railway department official is familiar with it."

It seems that in order to confirm Lin Wentao's words, Princess Pingyang said with a relaxed manner: "this track is divided into rails, sleepers, connecting parts, track beds and turnouts."

"The sleepers are divided into wood and concrete, which are laid at intervals. The rails, bolts and other components are made of steel, and the ballast bed with crushed stones is basically qualified railway."

Xiao Ming nodded his head with satisfaction.

It seems that Princess Pingyang intends to show herself in front of Xiao Ming, so she said: "the gauge of the track is also exquisite. According to the standard, all the tracks are standard tracks with a width of 1435mm. "

speaking of this, Xiao Ming praised," if my aunt is still familiar with this track standard, I will be completely relieved. "

with all kinds of technical standards beyond this era, Xiao Ming naturally won't let the railway of Da Yu country explore the standard width of the track by itself. He can directly come up with mature railway standards.

After all, Lin Wentao's steam locomotives were produced according to this standard from the beginning. However, the width of railway tracks in every country is different. This is mainly to prevent other countries from directly using each other's railways in the event of invasion. For example, Russia has adopted a wider wide rail than European Railways.

"The emperor can give such an important thing to a weak woman, which is my trust. How dare I live up to the emperor's expectation. "Princess Pingyang has a beautiful smile.

a railway division official took the opportunity to fart: "Your Highness is really very hard for the railway business. Every day we should go along the railway inspection, and the ministers are also self sigh."

At this time, Xiao Ming noticed that Princess Pingyang was a little bit dark. He said, "when the railway is open to traffic, I will personally celebrate my aunt with a banquet! "

Princess Pingyang was stunned for a moment. In fact, since she came to Qingzhou, she has been living with fear. This nephew seems gentle, but she is not soft hearted in killing people.

The day when Zhao Wang and Zhao Yuanliang's father and son were executed by lingchi is still fresh in her memory. She was once ashamed of Xiao Ming, so now she does not dare to have any indiscreet thoughts. She only works for the royal family in order to have a glorious and rich life.

"Thank you, Emperor. I'll be waiting for that day." Princess Pingyang is secretly happy. It is obvious that Xiao Ming is very satisfied with what she has done in this matter.

As time goes by, there are more and more people on both sides of the railway. At this time, Lin Wentao said: "emperor, the steam engine locomotive is almost ready. Is it officially running now. "

at this time, Xiao Ming looked in the direction of his eyes. At this time, Fijian, Pang Yukun and other officials also came here. Princess Pingyang must have informed them.

After nodding, Xiao Ming said, "let's start. Let Qingzhou people and you Aiqing witness the operation of the first steam locomotive in Dayu. "

" yes, your majesty. "Lin Wentao answered, and then made a gesture to the platform.

On the platform, there is a station staff with a red flag. After getting Lin Wentao's signal, he waved the little red flag in his hand.

With his action, the steam engine car again issued a loud whistle, and then the train issued a "wheeze, wheeze" sound, moving on the track.

Fijian, Pang Yukun and other officials arrived at Xiao Ming's side. After saluting, they stretched their necks one by one to see the steam locomotive.

"I didn't expect that this steam engine locomotive could really drag such a long carriage," Pang exclaimed after the locomotive began to move

"It's true, but it's too slow," he said. "

Xiao Ming said nothing with a smile. He was once ridiculed when the first steam locomotive was in operation, but in the end, the steam locomotive eliminated the traditional cattle and horse transportation.

Of course, the steam engine locomotive made by Lin Wentao is not the first one at all. After Lin Wentao's test, the reciprocating high-temperature and high-pressure steam engine he installed is enough to make the locomotive run at a speed of 67 kilometers per hour. Although it is much faster than the speed of modern locomotives, it is very rare.Moreover, Lin Wentao has been developing a double expansion steam engine, which can use steam twice or even three times, greatly improving the thermal efficiency of the locomotive.

Once this kind of steam engine is developed successfully, the speed of both steam engine locomotive and steam ship can be greatly improved.

"Snort, snort."

The speed of the steam locomotive is getting faster and faster after leaving the station, and the people on both sides of the two roads scream at this time.

Before that, many people were very confused about what this strange thing was used for. Now they finally understand.

However, those who have never seen a steam locomotive are frightened by this scene, while the students of Qingzhou University who are mixed in the crowd are cheering. This matter is also of great significance to them, because it proves that they have abandoned the four books and five classics.

More shocked than Qingzhou people are the Western businessmen.

"My God, what is this? What did I see in Dayu? " Exclaimed a young Western businessman, who was surrounded by an older Westerner who was the father of the young man.

"This is science." The young businessman's father's eyes sparkled with madness.

The young businessman looked at his father. In his memory, his father was very knowledgeable. He continued to ask, "father, what on earth is this? "

" I don't know, but it must be incredible. Maybe we should stay here and figure out what they are. "The old businessman had a dignified tone.
