Jiluo City, this is the name of another city in the Siqi Kingdom.

This name is also based on the original seven tribal alliances. Sichi Kingdom was merged from the original two tribal alliances, Riyal and Kicarol.

Taichang gave the original city where the Riyal Tribe Alliance gathered, the name of Liyang City. He simply chose two characters that were transliterated and homophoned with Baijia surnames, and named it Jiluo City.

This is where the second major tributary in the southeast of the Xinliao River meets the coal mine veins.

At this moment, the width of this amazing vein was finally almost done. In the north of Siqi Kingdom, the width of the ore vein is about 300 to 400 miles. The narrower the vein the south, the wider the vein the north.

Taichang held up his telescope and glanced at the vast mountains to the east. After a while, he put down his telescope and asked, "Is there a valley leading to the east in this mountain range?"

Qin Yiming hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, the emperor, the last general has ordered people to investigate. This mountain range is not very wide in this section, which is only three or four hundred miles wide. Moreover, the mountain here is not very high. There are several horizontal valleys in the middle, so it is not a problem to go to the east."

When Taichang heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, find a place in the middle of the mountain range to build an inn, and then extend the inn to the port on the coastline. Build one every 100 to 200 miles, and each inn is equipped with more than a hundred war horses. We have to open up the messaging of the east and west sides of the mountain range, otherwise, it will take at least half a month for something to be transmitted to Xin Liaoyang City, which is likely to miss the situation."

There is no way, this mountain range is like a watershed, separating the New Liao River from the East Coast of North America.

At this moment, we sent a message from the Cherokee tribe to New Liaoyang City. We either took land and went south along the east side of the mountain range. We had to travel about five or six thousand miles to reach New Liaoyang City.

If there is no inn in the middle, you will have to run for about twenty days at the fastest.

At this moment, there are not many war horses in North America, so it is naturally unlikely that they will build a five or six thousand miles long post station communication system.

Therefore, it is usually a sea route to the Cherokee tribe who transmits to New Liaoyang City. However, it takes more than 10,000 miles to go from the north of the east coast of North America to New Liaoyang City. The wolf-tooth warships have to run for about half a month.

This kind of messaging is naturally not possible, it is too late.

That's why Taichang came here to see if he could pass through the middle of this mountain range.

If you can pass through the mountains, then it will be convenient to transmit.

The width of this mountain range is only 300 miles, while the mountain range is only 400 to 500 miles from the coastline.

In other words, the total area of ​​land is only more than 800 miles. As long as five or six inns are built along the way, 800 miles can be urgently summoned.

If we calculate at the speed of 800 miles of urgent communication, it would be enough to send the news from the East Coast to Jiluo City, and it would take no more than two days to arrive at the New Liaoyang City along the way from Jiluo City.

In this way, the news from the front line can basically reach New Liaoyang City within three or four days.

The reason why he came here in person was mainly for this matter.

As for the construction of Jiluo City, there is no need to be too rush, because coal mines can be dug in Liyang City, and Song Yingxing is still developing mining machinery at this time, so he does not need too many coal mines.

Moreover, after the mining machinery was developed, the mining speed was naturally faster. The mining area of ​​a city was enough to meet the coal demand at this moment.

Therefore, there is no need to rush to build this Jiluo City. If you want to increase the mining speed, the key is to look at the mining machinery.

So, how did Song Yingxing develop it?

Taichang just inspected the Siqi Kingdom and rushed back to Xin Liaoyang City.

At this time, Song Yingxing had already ordered people to cast the base of the mining machinery. The steam engines, boilers and pipelines on it were all ready-made, just install them directly.

He is busy developing tracks.

Gu Rang

Taichang walked into the assembly workshop and saw that he was stunned.

The base this guy uses is directly the base of the steam locomotive!

How long is the base of a steam locomotive?

That was about ten feet long and more than thirty meters long!

Oh my God, this guy really wants to sail on land, so he just makes a car as big as a thousand-material warship!

He was stunned for a while before muttering, "Chang Geng, why is this thing so big?"

Is this big?

To be honest, Song Yingxing doesn't think it's big at all.

Because at this moment, the things developed by the Ming Dynasty have developed into a big way, whether they are artillery or warships, whether they are trains or ships, they are getting bigger and bigger.

The five thousand-fired dreadnought is more than twenty feet long. Is this thing worth ten feet long a big one?

Song Yingxing thought for a while and then explained: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this can be easier. We just use the base of the steam locomotive. The layout of the steam engine and pipelines above basically does not need to be changed. We just need to change a smaller boiler. And the wheels below don't need to be changed, just change the train wheels to sprockets."

Well, it's really easy to do this. Basically, you just need to make the sprocket and tracks and you can drive it.

Question, how can you move it to the mining area if you are such a big guy?

Taichang couldn't help asking, "Chang Geng, have you ever thought about it? This wolf-toothed warship can't even be installed. How did you move it to Liyang City?"

Isn't this simple yet?

Song Yingxing said without thinking: "Your Majesty, let's just drive over directly. This thing doesn't require a road, so it's enough to drive wherever you are. It seems that there are plains to go to Liyang City, and there is no big river blocking the road. It should be no problem to drive over directly."

Uh, drive over directly?

Taichang really never thought about this.

You should know that this thing can be driven on land, and it seems that it can be done directly.

As for speed, no matter how slow the speed of this thing is, there should be no big problem to drive fifty miles in one hour. One hour is two hours. According to the speed, it is more than ten kilometers per hour, which is not much faster than a person walking.

Liyang City is only more than one thousand miles away from here, and it took two or three days to drive.

Taichang looked at the steam engine and boiler above, then looked at the wheel axle below, and suddenly realized a problem.

He said helplessly: "Chang Geng, you are so big that you can't even get out of the city gate if you are completely assembled. At that time, wouldn't you have to open a big hole in the city wall?"

Song Yingxing shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, Emperor, I have ordered people to measure it. The city gate is wider than this. As for the height, when you pass the city gate, just remove the iron shed above it. Just open the city gate and install it back, it won't be a problem."

Well, what does it feel like to drive a giant cart that is more than 30 meters long and four or five meters wide?

That's simply too cool!
