The three of them had their own private rooms, but they still went to the dining car when eating.

Li Xiaohe doesn't know how to play mahjong in the train, so Zhang Zuolin has to learn from the past.

So no one is sure which train car he was carrying.

If Zhang Dashuai had such scheming as his mother, she would not have died in vain in Huanggutun.

Cadres of their level come out with a team of chefs. There is a special carriage on the train that is a kitchen for their preparation.

"Which stop is ahead?" Li Xiao looked at his watch.

They took the route from Zhangjiakou to Baotou, and then directly to Yinchuan.

This was the northern line railway when the first railway was built, and it passed through the Mongolian grassland along the way.

It was originally intended to fight against the Jungar Mongols and provide rapid support and material supplies to the Ming army in Gansu.

Now that the Jungar Mongols have disappeared, this line has almost become a dedicated line for coal transportation.

Huge coal mines were discovered in Ordos and Baotou.

It is much more convenient to dig coal on the grassland than in Shanxi.

After all, the railway transportation capacity in Shanxi is relatively tight now. And this so-called northern railway is actually idle more than half of the time.

The trains transporting coal and trains transporting people are staggered so that they do not interfere with each other. This approach seems to have a good effect now.

"In front is Yinchuan Station. After passing Yinchuan Station, you have to stop at Yumenguan.

There is no other way, we have to hurry up and hurry up.

I heard that when the Caucasus thaws in spring, the roads we built may turn into muddy ponds.

If there is nothing we can do, we will build simple roads.

In order to make the ground freeze solid, some water was sprinkled.

Once the spring comes and the flowers bloom, it will definitely be a mess all the way. Time waits for no one!"

"Commander, we would rather delay for a few days than take the airship rashly.

This place in the Western Region is very windy and sandy in spring. Once a sandstorm breaks out, the airship will be very dangerous!

Even if we don't fight this battle, we will never put you in a dangerous situation." Seeing that Li Xiao seemed to be thinking about something, Shi Dewei immediately blocked Li Xiao's words about wanting to take an airship.

For Daming, Li Xiao's personal safety was the most important.

Whether the road from Uralsk to Grozny will melt down is not worth mentioning compared with Li Xiao's safety.

"Okay! Then let's take advantage of the parking time in Yinchuan to get out of the car and get some fresh air.

Sitting in this car all day, it's getting fucking rusty."

Even though he was riding in a train compartment, Li Xiao still didn’t like it very much. He spent the whole day looking at the vast expanse of snow outside!

If you look carefully, you can see the withered yellow grass stems standing in the snow, piercing the quilt-like layer of blood.

This is how it snows on the grassland, and there is a vast expanse of white everywhere.

In the past, herdsmen on the grasslands had to shake off the snow so that their cattle and sheep could eat the grass under the snow!

This job is not ordinary tiring!

Those who say that herdsmen have nothing to do in winter actually have no idea about the hard work of grassland people.

The winter grass stored in the winter nest is a life-saving grass in windy and snowy weather.

Every time a white-haired wind blows on the grassland, the stronger cattle and sheep have to rely on these grasses to survive.

These cattle and sheep are the hope for the shepherds to survive.

As for those who were weak, most of them were killed before they lost weight.

Killing while there is plenty of meat will allow you to eat two more pieces of meat in your mouth.

The snow this year was particularly heavy, so what Li Xiao saw were large expanses of white snowfields.

Occasionally, I see a bird landing on a grass stem, then deftly pecks off a piece of dead grass, spreads its wings and flies away.

It's really boring to watch scenes like this all day long.

Stewie had to deal with various telegrams all day long, while Mr. Ao, an alcoholic, and his two group leaders spent the whole day in the dining car.

It's not easy for Li Xiao to join, but with him around, the two group leaders will stand up straight, with their buttocks resting on the edge of the chair, ready to stand up at any time.

Fortunately, they have practiced kung fu for two days, so they can maintain this riding crotch-crotch sitting position for a long time.

But drinking like this is really no fun.

Helpless, Li Xiao could only pass the time by reading memorials all day long.

They are all confidential memorials, many of which are reports submitted by various scientific research institutes.

People say that a butterfly in the Amazon jungle flaps its wings, and the energy spreads to the end, and it can wave over the huge waves in the Atlantic Ocean.

Li Xiao felt that he was the butterfly of the Ming Dynasty.

Because he discovered that a person named Huang Xuhua from the Lushun Naval Research Institute put forward a theory.

This guy is obviously good at physics, especially the concept of buoyancy.

Because according to his vision, the submarine was about to be born.

However, submarines cannot be built just because they can be built. There are still many technical problems that need to be overcome!

Apart from the principles of submarines, Li Xiao doesn't know much about submarines.

Apart from funds and rights, he couldn't give much to this genius named Huang Xuhua.

Li Xiao found out that he was forcing the situation to grow.

The Ming Empire was like a bull, charging rampantly on the road of science and technology.

I don’t know when something like a genetic mutation will appear.

Just like when I was studying airplanes the year before last, an engineer thought that since the propeller can provide forward power, if the propeller is reversed ninety degrees, can it also provide upward power?

So this guy sent the report to Xu Ermo. When Li Xiao went to Xu Ermo to inspect, he happened to see this report.

Immediately called the guy named Wang Shicun and gave him a bamboo dragonfly. Then the guy left with the rights and funds.

Two years have passed, and the helicopter has failed several times. But Wang Shicun bit his finger and promised that if he was given another year, he would definitely be able to come up with a prototype that could take off and land vertically.

There is also a guy named Qian Sen, who is very good at mathematics.

Rockets inspired him. This guy wanted to make a large rocket. His idea was to launch it from the capital and reach Tianjin.

Li Xiao told him that this was just a preliminary idea. In the future, this type of large rocket can hit farther.

The bombs carried on it can kill millions of people in an instant.

That’s absolutely killing someone from a thousand miles away!

Qian Sen was speechless after hearing this, but he didn't expect that the commander-in-chief thought more wildly than he did.

So Qian Sen got into the laboratory with the rights and funds. But now he has not achieved any results except spending money like water.

Li Xiao did not cut off Qian Sen's rights and funding. Instead, he told Ai Husheng several times that the funds for this project were not allowed to be misappropriated or deducted.

Many times, technology is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. At least when he was researching rockets, Qian Sen also improved rockets.

Just by adding a few delta wings to the rocket body, the trajectory of the rocket becomes much more controllable.

This time during the target practice in Zhurihe, the accuracy of rockets has been drastically improved.

This made Li Xiao very happy. Behind his special train, there were three launch vehicles and more than 200 pieces of ammunition parked.

I am going to follow Li Xiao and show off my skills when we get to Grozny.

There are many new ideas and ideas. As long as someone puts them forward, the institute will always provide corresponding funds.

Anyway, in recent years, Ming Dynasty has tinkered with a lot of weird things...

In fact, investment in technology does not necessarily produce output. In many cases, it is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change.

The technology tree has reached this level, and it is no longer something that Li Xiao can control alone.

The car finally arrived at Yinchuan Railway Station!

When the general manager of the military station learned that the commander was coming to the military station for dinner, he immediately ran into the kitchen like a frightened donkey!

Under the watchful eye of the guards, the cook carefully used all his life's knowledge to prepare a table of meals.
Chapter completed!
