Boom! Boom! Woo ~ Woo ~ Woo ~ Woo! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom! The firecrackers went off, followed by the sound of the steam whistle. The train started to move, from slow to fast.
"Oh ~ ~" The people watching were surprised. The train was too big. How could it run so fast?
Not long after, the train disappeared from sight. It went to Lantian County, where there was a transit station.
Li Longji and the rest were very nervous. They were afraid that they would not be able to return and that the train would break down halfway.
"When the railway makes more money, we will change the single track into two tracks. The location has already been reserved. The cost will be much lower than the first railway."
Li Yi was not worried about the train breaking down. The quality of the train was good.
He was waiting for a period of time. When the train was profitable, he would use the profits to pave another track.
The construction of the tracks was troublesome. It was not cheaper than the other tracks. It would not even cost 10 million.
During the transportation, the train would help. As long as the tracks were lifted to the side of the road, they would be lifted onto the train and sent to wherever they wanted.
There were also cement sleepers, other tools, and food.
When the train did not come, they would repair it. When the train arrived, the construction workers would avoid it.
"At that time, there would be no need to change the switches." Su Yi imagined the two tracks running side by side, one going and the other back.
"There will be fast and slow trains. The slow train will have to give way to the fast train. The advantage of two tracks is that the amount of transportation will not be doubled. There is a data model. "
Li Yi did not despise Su Yi at this moment. Others did not know the situation of the railway.
There was a separate algorithm. The algorithm was also gradually updated, and the efficiency was getting higher.
"Gang Rou, when will the train return?" Zhang Jiuling did not stir up trouble. He only asked what he wanted to know.
"At most an hour. If we drive normally, it will take half a day to reach Lantian County.
If we go to the relay station and sprint for ten miles, we can guarantee that we will reach the destination in an hour. The return will also take an hour.
The train will take less than half an hour to reach Lantian County. From there, we will turn the steering wheel 180 degrees, restart, and return. "
In the end, Li Yi said to turn around on the spot. The locomotive drove onto a circular disc. The disc turned 180 degrees, and the train turned over.
The other method was to walk in a big circle, where the locomotive would walk in a circle. Drawing a big circle would take up too much space, and every inch of land near the train was worth gold.
"Gang Rou, the locomotive has an inverted locomotive. If you want to change directions, the locomotive at the back will start, right?"
Zhang Jiuling was inspired when he saw another locomotive.
"Jiu Ling is indeed amazing. Yes, when you need to climb a slope, you will build a V-shaped track. When the time comes, there will be two vehicles. One will bring you up, and the other will pull you down a new path."
Li Yi nodded and gave him a thumbs up. You're too smart.
At the same time, he took out a piece of fruit candy, peeled off the glutinous rice paper, and drew a diagram of a chevron railway on the concrete floor of the platform.
"Xiao Yi is indeed thoughtful. She already has a plan before she even meets him," Li Dan praised.
"I'm standing on the shoulders of a great person." Li Yi pinched the remaining candy and put it in his mouth. He spat twice to spit out the dust and sand, and then put it in his mouth. He put the glutinous rice paper in front of Princess Yongmu. Princess Yongmu opened her mouth and ate it.
"Why are you still holding candy?" The little fellow saw her sister eat the glutinous rice paper and Li Yi eat the candy. She looked up and asked.
Li Yi took out another one and stuffed it into the little fellow's mouth. "You're afraid of meeting children, right?"
"Yes!" The little fellow smiled and squinted her eyes.
Princess Yongmu reached out to Li Yi's pocket and took out a handful of fruit candy. She gave it to her brother and sisters. Everyone came.
The scar left by the injury on Li Cong's face could not be seen now. His face was paler, and he had a special temperament, completely different from his previous face.
He found the meaning of his existence. He learned from his uncle Li Chengqi. It was just a crown prince. He did not want it.
His uncle was not the emperor. He was in charge of the Tang dynasty's Chao Tianxia Fund. He was busy all day. When he gave an order, countless people benefited from it.
…
The locomotive rumbled as it ran, blowing the whistle from time to time.
The people along the way kept a distance. The newspaper said, don't get close, or people will die.
"If we put this big guy on the battlefield to charge, how much blood will the enemy's military formation leave?"
There were military enthusiasts among the people. When they saw the locomotive, they thought of war.
"Shouldn't the enemy's military formation be blown up by the Sky Monkey? The Sky Monkey will blow up the enemy's military formation, and our military formation will go over. "
Birds of a feather flock together. It was also a situation of war.
"It's too heavy. We can't do it without iron rails. The Sky Monkey of the Turks' cavalry is mainly used to scare the horses. It's different from the infantry.
The infantry's military formation has shields and crossbows at the back to block the attack. Without the military formation, the enemy's charge is suicide.
When the cavalry explodes, the horses will run away. Our cavalry will go over and kill them. "
A friend explained his point of view. What he said was actually known to both the enemy and their side.
"At this speed, from the seaside to the Chang 'an, there should be a lot of living animals. We don't need boats to put water tanks on them to raise them."
"It's like a house. Just feed them coal and water. They don't eat grass."
"The smoke is beautiful. There's black and white smoke."
"The white smoke is not smoke. It's steam. It's the steam from the steamer."
"The steam from the kettle is the same."
Everyone said a few words, and the locomotive disappeared from their sight.
The locomotive ran all the way to Lantian County. When it entered the turning circle, the horses were ready.
The locomotive was in place. The steering wheel that was like a flat windmill was pulled by the horses. It was surrounded by a circular railway track with bearings on it.
Accompanied by the sound of 'huff huff huff', the horses stopped. In less than a minute, the locomotive was adjusted. Whooo ~ ~ Whooo ~ ~ It rumbled and ran again. There were a few more people on it, proving that they had arrived at Lantian County.
Many people in Lantian County watched the whole process of the train turning around. They were all excited.
There was a station in Lantian County. In the future, if they went to Chang 'an and went up, they would arrive in a short time. If they wanted to go to Luoyang, they would arrive on the same day.
The locomotive gradually accelerated as it ran back. As expected, they soon saw the Li Family Zhuangzi again.
The engine vented, reduced pressure, and slowly braked. The locomotive came back.
Everyone looked at the clock. It took 52 minutes to go and come back.
"It can be faster in the future. Now it's the run-in period. We can't speed up anymore. Actually, it's already too fast. We should slow it down a little. The other one will be slower. "
Li Yi did not want to break any records. The run-in period was too fast, and there was a lot of wear and tear.
The second locomotive was ready. There were four empty carriages for freight.
When they arrived at Lantian County, there were four carriages with goods. They would change and bring the goods back.
These were the things that the Li Family Zhuangzi wanted to use. Originally, they used boats and carriages to transport them. When the train ran for a trial run, they did not need to pay.
"Xiao Yi, when are we going up? I've never taken a train since I was young. "
Li Dan looked at the passenger carriage that was parked. He wanted to feel the special glass windows.
"Tomorrow and today, we have to run more. There's no air conditioning in the train. There are iron railings and toilets … Anyway, we can't use them when we're parked."
When Li Yi talked about the toilets, he felt that he had taken fewer detours.
At first, the toilets did not have flushes. Later on, they had flushes, and he directly installed them.
