Chapter 118: Urgent crime is equivalent to raising the flag to rebel

Six or seven kilometers, even if it is day and night, it looks like more than one hundred kilometers a day or more or two hundred miles a day. It will take more than a month to arrive from Anxi to Chang'an.

This speed is not even as fast as a four-wheeled carriage on the galloping road. However, the 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 also limited. The biggest advantage of the steam engine train is that the transportation cost is low. Moreover, the transportation volume is amazing. The carriages on the road are far more than the four-wheeled carriages on ordinary roads, but they are also limited, and can carry up to more than 6,000 kilograms.

However, this steam engine train has twelve trains that are ten and six feet long, about (24.91) meters and about one or two feet wide (2.82 meters), which is almost the same size as the passenger trains in later generations.

However, Chen Ying's face immediately turned dark.

Because he found that this steam engine train had a very stingy operation, that is, the locomotive was loaded with burnable coal, but no one needed to shovel into the furnace one by one. Instead, the steam engine's transmission mechanism was used to reduce the speed of the gears, and it formed a transport belt similar to the assembly line in later generations.

Chen Ying was still unable to complain. The most important thing was that the burning cinder was actually used as a transport belt and threw it out of the car and fell on the edge of the railway track on the road.

It can also be seen that this train of experimental nature has undergone repeated trials and repeated coal slag on both sides of the railway tracks that can almost cover the feet.

Cycloss is not a good thing, but it cannot be discharged randomly. If the train runs for a long time, it may be flooded with the railway tracks. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there is less rain in Anxi. If the cinder is thrown around, wouldn’t it form a sandstorm?

Looking at Chen Ying's expression of badness, the original Flavi Zino, the current Zino hurried forward and explained: "Hisser Duke, it will take some time to speed faster!"

Chen Ying pointed to the transport belt that emitted cinder and said, "Whose idea is this?"

Zino looked carefully at a honest craftsman beside him.

The craftsman said with joy: "This is made by the grass people!"

Chen Ying turned to look at the guard behind him. At this time, the train had only run less than five miles. There was a layer of cinder on them all, and the original black armor seemed to have turned gray.

Chen Ying said: "What's your name?"

The honest craftsman bowed and said, "Caomin Luo Shiming, a native of Guangzhou, Huainan Dao (Today's Xinyang, Henan)......"

Before Luo Shiming finished speaking, Chen Ying waved his hand and said, "Come on, whip him twenty whips, so that he can remember it!"

Chen Ying has always ruled Anxi with military law. There is no saying in Anxi that the military cannot interfere in government affairs. Immediately, two personal guards held Luo Shiming, raised their whips, and started whipping.

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

Chen Ying had to speed up, but fortunately, Chen Ying's personal guards were all good horses that were selected from one in a hundred, so they could barely keep up. The Yili horses, the three hippos and the Tubo horses were not good at sprinting, but their endurance was good. Their speed could run to about 35 kilometers or forty kilometers per hour.

As the train continued to speed up, the war horses were already weak after chasing for three or four miles. However, Chen Ying was riding three horses under his command, so there was no need to worry, just change the horse and continue chasing.

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

The original test endpoint has arrived.

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

Zinuo said: "Twenty miles!"

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

Zino said: "A quarter of an hour."

Chen Ying nodded. In an hour and four quarters of an hour, it can run about 80 miles, that is, forty kilometers. Although this speed is not fast, it is already a rare lightning speed in this era.

It takes about 8,000 miles from Chang'an to Shule. If you don't stop halfway, you can reach Chang'an in about a hundred hours at this speed. Of course, this is impossible. Steam engine trains are different from internal combustion engine trains. They require replenishment of coal and water. There are no large machinery, so the replenishment speed is not fast. No matter how fast it is, it will take half an hour or even longer.

However, it's certain.

You can definitely arrive in Chang'an within one week.

Although the train is not perfect enough, Chen Ying is already very satisfied.

Back at the starting point of Shule Academy, Chen Ying looked at Luo Shiming, who was beaten to the ground and choked, saying, "Do you know why this general hits you?"

Luo Shiming shook his head and said, "The grass people don't know!"

"How many times have I told you, don't destroy the environment, you just don't listen!" At this point, Chen Ying looked at the United Nations craftsmen at Zhongshule Academy and said, "According to what the General said, remove the cinder transport belt, and the cinder that burns in the future must not be discharged at will!"

Luo Shiming nodded and said, "Caomin remember!"

But no matter what, the train was finally created. First, solve the problem of existence or non-existence. After solving the existence or non-existence, think about how to improve it.

There are actually many problems with this train. The random discharge of cinder is just a very small point, such as the effect is too low and it consumes too much coal. In fact, the most is not coal, but water. After running all the 20 kilometers, it can accommodate 10,000 kilograms of water tanks, and only less than 2,000 kilograms of water left, which means that ten kilometers need to consume more than 8,000 kilograms of water.

For example, this experimental steam engine train is hung behind a train containing coal and water, four large water tanks, plus coal, and it is actually only 200 miles away to reach the sky.

If the speed is faster, it will consume more coal and water.

If you have any problems, you should solve the problem. However, for Shule Academy, you must reward it!

"Shule Academy has made great contributions, and this general rewards you with one million guan!" Speaking of this, Chen Ying looked at Qi Nuo and said, "Let's go back and give all the craftsmen involved in the development of the steam engine train project this time, according to the contribution, this million guan!"

"One million coins!"

If calculated based on purchasing power, the Tang Dynasty was equivalent to 4,275 yuan, and one million yuan was equivalent to more than 4 billion yuan in later generations. Even if all the people in Shule Academy were counted, on average, each person could get at least more than 300 yuan, which was equivalent to 1,500,000 yuan per person.

This reward instantly made the craftsmen of Shule Academy excited.

One million is actually not a small amount for Chen Ying. Of course, if it were not for the search of the Tubo palace and sweeping away the wealth accumulated by Tubo for hundreds of years, Chen Ying would not have been able to give out a million guan at one time to reward him.

Chen Ying did not hand over all the money to Li Jiancheng, not because he was greedy, but because Chen Ying understood that there was actually a critical point, whether it was money or precious metals. Once it was passed, it would cause inflation.

Chen used the method of developing the western region to build the Chidao crazy, with the purpose of consuming this wealth internally so that all the people of the Tang Dynasty could benefit from it.

Chen Ying handed a bronze medal to Qi Nuo and smiled and said, "This is a reward for you!"

Qi Nuo reached out to take the sign, but saw a line of small characters engraved in small calligraphy on it. When he looked closely, he said: "Imperial title - the founding man of Ye County."

The back of the bronze plaque is engraved with Zino's name. Zino stroked the bronze plaque, confused in his heart.

Just look at it, the one who gets it has no intention, and it looks intentional.

Lu Zhikun, the Cangcai Army of the Anxi Protectorate, who was responsible for supplying the supplies for Shule Academy, suddenly became gloomy. He thought to himself: "Why is the general so confused? The court is still in power. Isn't this putting himself on the stove to roast?"
