The train was moving on the tracks. At first, there was a clattering sound.
But after a long time, it automatically became background music and was ignored.
The train started again, and the movement was obvious.
Noble Consort Lu listened carefully, "The train is stable, but where is this clattering sound coming from?"
Everyone looked at Li Yi. You're the one who fixed the tracks, so why is there a clattering sound?
"There are gaps between the tracks to give space for the track to expand and contract." Li Yi explained.
"Is there a way to avoid expansion?" Zhangsun Xin was interested in technology.
"Yes, but I can't make it." Li Yi nodded and then shook his head.
"Is it difficult?" Several people asked together.
"If I can make a seamless track to operate normally, I can directly blast the Red White Palace to the ground and leave nothing behind."
Li Yi compared the situation with a serious expression.
Li Yi, who was sitting on the other side, was speechless.
"Won't it be more convenient to attack the Turks?" He reminded Li Yi that there were enemies everywhere.
"That's right. Even if it's the place where I bring the seeds back from, I can still attack from Chang 'an." Li Yi smiled at the other party.
"What weapon?" Su Yi swallowed.
"Sky Cun Monkey, a bigger one. Launch it from Haizhou and blast it to the Red White Palace … and further west.
Yes, India, it's India. In less than two hours, people and animals within a radius of a hundred miles will die. "
Li Yi corrected him in time. He always thought that the two ends of the country were the furthest, and everyone was more familiar with Haizhou.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and a trace of fear appeared on everyone's faces.
After a full half minute, Li Chengqi spoke first, "Brother Yi, when will you be able to make a seamless track?"
"That kind of weapon can't be used. It's equivalent to the Night-Luminescent Pearl given to me by Bozhu and Isinba.
Li Yi waved his hands. No.
In the Tang dynasty era, who would use nuclear weapons to fight? Machine guns wouldn't work? Cannons that could be carried and moved were not useful?
The others did not have any good weapons. Bows, arrows, javelins, crossbows, these kinds of long range weapons could not reach the Tang soldiers.
"Lock them up in a room where you can't tell the time for half a month so that you can vent your anger?"
He helplessly said, "Why do you always mention my Tufan?"
He didn't quibble and say that he wasn't sure if the Night-Luminescent Pearl would cause problems. If he wanted to kill him, just do it.
"At that time, both sides were serving their own masters, and both sides were unscrupulous. What crime did they commit? There were some people in the Lingyan Pavilion who also beat us up before. Those who have obtained the world, naturally have the capacity to cherish the world. "
Li Yi said, "Don't let these two people, who are always thinking of killing me for the sake of Tubo, die in fear."
They hadn't done anything wrong. The Chamberlain of Dependencies had persuaded others to surrender more than once, and some of them had become spies.
Boqiao and Isinba were completely unmoved. They were loyal subjects!
After Chi brought Zhu Dan over, the two of them took the money they had saved and gave it to Zan Pu, telling him to cheer up.
The merchants and students who had just boarded the train did not feel that the commotion was too big.
The train was much more stable than the horse carriage. The wheels of the horse carriage pressed against the road, and the friction of the axle was no less than that of the train.
It was their first time on the train, so everyone was very excited and looked outside through the glass window.
They didn't dare to open the window and sat on the fixed chairs carefully with half of their buttocks.
A palace maid pushed a cart and appeared. She didn't call for melon seeds, beer, instant noodles, poker cards, and so on. She directly placed a cup, made tea, and placed a stack of fennel beans.
"Brother Yi, where is the toilet?" Li Longji didn't know if he was excited or nervous, but he wanted to go to the toilet.
"Follow me." Li Yi whispered and brought Li Longji to the toilet.
The toilet was relatively spacious, and there was a flush toilet, mirror, and basin.
This kind of facilities didn't match the era of the train. It had to be high-end.
There was no disposable toilet cover. Before going to the toilet, one needed to wipe with tissue paper.
Li Longji used one that only a few people could use, and the carriage also had extra water.
The oldest train didn't flush, and the bottom was made of wood. When people went to the toilet, they squatted on it. Many people were imprisoned and escaped, and they ran like this.
In addition, if the windows were made of wood, they could also run.
Li Longji went to the toilet inside, and Li Yi stood guard outside.
Not long after, Li Longji came out with a silk handkerchief in his hand: "Brother Yi, where did it go?"
"On the railway, it fell directly into the rain, snow, and sunlight, and it quickly decomposed."
Li Yi explained very bluntly that the train didn't have the function of storing sewage.
"Will the people be able to afford the fees from now on?" Li Longji wasn't in a hurry to return. He stood at the junction of the carriages and looked outside.
Li Yi habitually touched his pocket. He wanted to take out a cigarette. In this situation, if he didn't smoke, he would feel that something was missing.
He put down his hand. There was no cigarette. He could smoke, but he didn't smoke.
"The poor people can go by themselves. There are relay stations, and they don't need to spend money on food and accommodation.
Rich people, officials, merchants, and barbarians, they spend money on the train. It's quite expensive.
The real profitable part of the train is the freight. The mobile population is small, and freight is the main source of income.
The train is connected to the coast and between the two capitals. The logistics capacity is large, and the profits come from this. "
Li Yi never intended to let the ordinary people use the train. The relay stations were enough for the ordinary people.
If you say you don't have money, at the relay station, the constable will look at you and give you two pieces of black bread. The soup will be free, and you will stay in a shared room.
There is a relay station every ten miles on the official road. If you say you can't reach the next resting station by nightfall, how do you get there?
Is there a white wind in winter? A snowstorm? Then why do you have to leave the relay station to go to the next one? Are you crazy?
Now, if you want to stay in an inn, you need a letter of recommendation. If you don't have one … it's fine. You can't starve to death.
The train is not something you can enjoy. Just a letter of recommendation is not enough. You have to have sufficient funds.
"Brother Yi, do you think in a few years, ordinary people will be able to ride the train? It's cheap. "
Li Longji felt uncomfortable when he saw the ordinary people walking outside.
"It depends on the industrial foundation. I have a blueprint for a big bird that can carry people. The kind I can fly doesn't count, but it can carry many people in the sky.
It takes less than an hour to fly from Luoyang to Chang 'an. Adding up the other things, it takes about four hours.
When my internal combustion engine is built, I will upgrade it. First, I will build a big bird for the military. It can fly with explosives.
For example, a hundred explosives can fly into the sky above the enemy's camp, ignite them, and throw them down. "
Li Yi drew a blueprint for Li Longji. It was a propeller bomber.
Its greatest use was not to kill people, but to disrupt the enemy's morale.
It would bomb the enemy's headquarters, Baggage, and rear warehouses.
The runway of that kind of plane was easy to repair. It could also be loaded with guns. If it was fired at the ground, it would be a terrifying deterrent.
Just like in the era of valiant singing and crossing the river to fight, their own country did not dare to attack the enemy's reconnaissance planes.
As long as they attacked, the bombers would retaliate.
With orders, they were not allowed to attack. They could only hide and endure.
It was only when a third party's air force joined the battlefield that the enemy's air superiority was wiped out.
"You don't want to exchange your life for it?" Li Longji yearned for it, but he was also worried.
"No need. I built it myself. Third Brother, you will know when the diesel engine comes out. It is better than the steam engine."
Li Yi promised. I am also reluctant to sacrifice my life.
