When they opened the door, they were greeted by a burst of noise and admiration.
Even though they had seen tractors, trucks, telephones, and other things, the impact of the train didn't diminish at all.
The combination of huge size and steel always formed a unique sense of beauty.
The mechanical parts and gears became the best decorations.
"Greetings, Zhao Prince Consort and Your Highness. Where's Her Majesty?" Zi Donglai stepped forward and asked.
"At the back." Ren Baqian nodded at everyone. Then, he pointed at the young people who came down from behind him and said, "Let me introduce to all of you the biggest contributors this time around. They are the first-year students from Black Bamboo Academy. They are the ones who turned the blueprint into reality.
They made the steel behemoth like the steam train appear in the world! "
The first person to jump down from behind Ren Baqian was Tong Lan, who was dressed in white.
Tong Lan was 1.7 meters tall, had a slim figure, and a delicate appearance. She had a unique temperament that was a combination of heroism, wisdom, and self-confidence. She amazed everyone the moment she got off the train.
Following her were Shi Gan and the other students.
The oldest among them was 25 years old. Unlike the aboriginals, who could be seen everywhere, their seven years of learning had given them a heroic bearing that was different from barbarism. Even if they were standing in a crowd, they could be easily distinguished at a glance.
Everyone got off the train and stood in a row. Ren Baqian let go of Liu Hua and applauded, "You guys have succeeded. Well done. At your age, no one can do better than you!"
Following Ren Baqian's actions, everyone applauded.
Although there was applause in this world, it wasn't a ritual like it was on Earth.
However, with Zhao Prince Consort applauding in front, everyone naturally followed suit.
This kind of action was easy to understand.
For a moment, the atmosphere was quite enthusiastic.
Ren Baqian looked at the excited expressions on everyone's faces. After all, apart from Shi Gan and Tong Lan, everyone present was abandoned by their families a few years ago. Even they couldn't see any hope for the future.
Over time, as Ren Baqian demonstrated all kinds of tools that changed people's lives, their treatment steadily improved.
At that time, they already knew that they would receive honor and admiration one day.
However, when this day really came, they felt a sense of excitement and satisfaction from the bottom of their hearts. It was like an electric current coursing through their bodies, causing them to tremble.
Ren Baqian seemed to know what everyone was thinking. He smiled and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
"It didn't explode. We were so lucky!" Du Laoliu said. "There was a period of pressure that I couldn't release. I thought I was going to ascend to heaven!"
What greeted him were more than ten cold gazes and more than twenty sympathetic gazes.
One had to know that this wasn't a trial. The empress, Yagui, and many of the court officials were on the train. If the train were to explode into the sky … They didn't even dare to imagine such a scene.
One could imagine the pressure they were under.
Fortunately, they arrived safely.
"You can keep such thoughts to yourself." Ren Baqian was so angry that he almost laughed.
Do you have to be so direct?
"Very good, very good, Xiaolan did well!" As the Minister of the Ministry of Works, he attached more importance to the means of transportation than anyone else.
Especially when his granddaughter, Tong Lan, was among them.
"It's not just me." In a rare moment of modesty, Tong Lan added in her heart, "At most, half of the credit belongs to me."
"She is indeed my granddaughter!" Tong Zhenye laughed heartily. "Of course, the others have done well. The Ministry of Works welcomes all of you! How about it? Working at the Ministry of Works will give you a chance to display your talents. As for your studies, it doesn't matter. Just come to the Ministry of Works when you have nothing to do. "
"The Ministry of Revenue will also give you a chance to display your talents!" Tu Wan put on her sunglasses and smiled at everyone after getting off the train.
"The Ministry of War is the home of the brave. Come to the Ministry of War and follow me. Let them play with their eggs!" Qin Chuan's loud voice could be heard before he even got off the train.
"They still have three and a half years to graduate!" Ren Baqian glanced at the crowd and reminded them.
He added in his heart, "Graduate from university!"
More than twenty officials from various ministries got off the train, and the warlords who were waiting here felt their foreheads break out in sweat.
Most of these warlords were only at the Man Wheel level, and the strongest two had just advanced to the Earth Wheel level.
In front of more than twenty Cardinal Heaven experts, there was a lot of pressure.
"Your Majesty!" When the empress, who was wearing a red dress and had her hair casually draped behind her, appeared, everyone immediately cupped their fists and greeted her.
"Mother!" Er Hua turned around and threw himself into the empress's arms. The empress grabbed him by the neck and shoved him to Zhu Hua, who was following behind.
The empress nodded at everyone and walked to the front of the students. With a faint smile on her face, she praised, "Well done. Zhao Prince Consort didn't waste so much effort on you.
I hope that you can create the future of the human race! "
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone was excited.
Ren Baqian put his hands behind his back, paused for a moment, and turned to look at the empress. She actually said "human race" instead of "Dayao."
Then, he smiled.
After so many years, the empress had finally begun to change.
Not only him, but Tong Zhenye and the other officials also understood the meaning behind her words.
"Let's introduce this steam train." The empress looked at everyone with a gaze full of admiration.
Most of them looked at Shi Gan, and a few looked at Tong Lan.
Among the students, these two were the strongest.
Although strength wasn't considered in the academy, the concept of strength was already deeply rooted in everyone's bones. Many students subconsciously regarded these two as their representatives.
Furthermore, they weren't just strong, but also did well in their studies and other aspects.
For example, Shi Gan was good at coordinating and contacting many students and other departments.
As for Tong Lan, she had overhauled the steam train's blueprint dozens of times. The current steam train was designed according to Tong Lan's ideas and the collective efforts of everyone.
Shi Gan gently patted Tong Lan's arm.
Tong Lan stepped forward, glanced at everyone, and then said to Zi Donglai and the city officials, "The Empress's steam train is officially known as Laboratory No. 77. It has a total of 19 carriages, each 24.6 meters long and 3.1 meters wide. The height between the roof and the track surface is 4.47 meters, and it weighs 93,400 kilograms.
The first carriage is the locomotive, and the second is a simplified version for the imperial family. The production of the carriages for the imperial family takes a year, and the dean is in charge of this.
The third to sixth carriages are double-decker berths, and each carriage can carry 36 passengers.
The seventh carriage is the dining carriage.
The eighth to eleventh carriages are passenger carriages, and each carriage can carry 80 passengers.
The twelfth to nineteenth carriages are freight carriages, 13 meters long, and each carriage can carry 120 kilograms of cargo.
According to different requirements, a freight carriage can be fully loaded with passenger carriages or cargo carriages.
Due to the limitations of the platform's length, the former can haul up to 18 passenger carriages, and when all the carriages are passenger carriages, it can carry up to 1,500 passengers.
The maximum number of cargo carriages is 24, and the load is 2.8 million kilograms.
When it's not fully loaded, the speed is 32 kilometers per hour, which is 128 kilometers per hour.
When it's fully loaded, the speed is 25 kilometers per hour, which is 100 kilometers per hour. "
"Hiss …" Everyone inhaled one after another, as though they were having a toothache.
They didn't know much about other things, but it could carry 1,500 people at a time? It could carry 2,800,000 kilograms of cargo at a time?
How many horse carriages and ox carts were this equivalent? Or how many tractors and trucks were this equivalent?
According to horse carriages, the largest horse carriage needed five horses to carry 20 people.
When it came to transporting goods, the load of an ox cart was usually 5,000 kilograms.
In other words, the load of this steel beast was equivalent to the load of 400 horses and 80 horse carriages.
As for the load, it was equivalent to the load of 560 ox carts.
As for the speed, it wasn't even worth comparing.
Even Tong Zhenye and the rest, who had heard it before, couldn't calm down when they heard it again, let alone the people who heard it for the first time.
First, set a small goal, such as one second.
