When you get down the slope, there are more people below, and you can even describe it as crowded.

When Jiang Daoli led everyone to the crowd and came close to him, dozens of strong men were already standing there waiting. At their feet were two steel rails, and on the ground were slightly raised roadbeds and already paved sleepers.

"Sir, please give an order." Jiang Daoli said happily.

As soon as Jiang Daoli finished speaking, everyone on the side also said, "Please give an order!"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Jin was filled with tide, and several years of hard work finally came to fruition today. Today is the day when the Nanjing-Zhenjiang Railway was completed, and the final completion of the dragon (closed) marks the complete completion of the railway.

Looking around, looking at the strong men waiting for him to give orders, Jiang Jin was extremely moved at this moment.

If he initially became the highest-ranking official in Nanjing as the Minister of Works, and he would do it himself almost himself every day, inspecting the railway project regardless of wind or rain, and devote most of his energy to it, the initial reason was naturally for Zhu Yicheng's promise.

Now, with the final completion of this railway, Jiang Jin was extremely eager to enter the army at that time, but the idea that he had fulfilled his wish was fading a lot. Looking up, looking at the long railway that could not be seen at all at once, and thinking about the hard work of countless days and nights, a sense of pride and excitement arises in his heart.

"Mr. Jiang, the auspicious time has come. Please give orders in time." Huangluzhuang, who had been on the side, had always been at the scene, and said to Jiang Jin with a smile. The Academy of Sciences has also invested a lot of manpower and energy in the construction of this railway. Now the final collaboration is what Huangluzhuang is looking forward to and proud of.

Nodded, Jiang Jin looked forward again, raised his hand, took a deep breath, and then exhaled, a loud and slightly hoarse voice shouted: "Helong!"

"Let's join the dragon..."

Before the shouting was over, dozens of strong men shouted together in melodious tone. Then they picked up the rails with thick ropes, moved the heavy rails in a slogan with a strong rhythm, and then placed them in the position they should be.

After the rails were placed on the sleepers, the craftsman who had been waiting on the side hurriedly stepped forward and used tools to confirm that the inspection was correct. Then he took the heated crucible, poured out the molten iron, and then knocked it to complete the final fixation...

Nearly half an hour later, as the last step was completed, when the successful joint was officially announced, everyone shouted excitedly, and was extremely excited.

"Congratulations to Lord Jiang!" Although Huang Luzhuang's official position was not the highest present, he was the person who was most qualified to say this.

What's more, the completion of this railway was not only a contribution from Jiang Jin, but also a great significance to him. Huang Luzhuang, as the president of the Academy of Sciences, knew very well that with this railway, it not only greatly shortened the time from one place to another, but also had extremely powerful carrying capacity.

The world of Ming Dynasty is from east to west and from south to north, not just a thousand miles away? It was extremely difficult for ordinary people to go out for a long journey before. Apart from the troubles along the way, more importantly, the road is difficult. Even if there is an official road, it is often extremely difficult to go thousands of miles away.

It took a long journey, and there were various factors and difficulties. Even before, there were many people who died halfway through the destination for various reasons. Of course, as time went by, the situation now is very different from the ancient times. In ancient times, Jiangnan was still a wild place, and people from the north talked about it. Now, the traffic between the north and the south has been greatly shortened and improved.

However, the completion of the railway further improved local communication, allowing various parts of the Ming Dynasty to better collude. This was of great benefit to the rule of the court, the circulation of goods, the exchanges of personnel, and the mobilization of military affairs....

Huang Luzhuang congratulated Jiang Jin not only because of the huge role of the railway and the successful completion of the railway, but also congratulated Jiang Jin on joining the military aircraft because of this merit. Jiang Jin naturally knew this. His expression was equally excited and happy, and he also bowed to Huang Luzhuang to congratulate Huang Luzhuang, because this was not only his credit, but also Huang Luzhuang, and even everyone present.

"This section of the railway has been completed. Our department will submit a letter to the court to ask for merit for everyone! Everyone, thank you for your hard work over the years, Jiang Jin thanked me here!"

As he said that, Jiang Jin bowed to the surroundings. Everyone cheered and returned the greeting in a hurry. Everyone's faces were filled with cheerful smiles.

The railway was successfully combined, and the next step was to test run. This was prepared long ago. Soon, a train that had been waiting for lights a few miles away slowly arrived. The train had three cars. After the train arrived, everything was ready. Jiang Jin called everyone to get on the train. After everyone was in place, under Jiang Jin's order, the train carrying everyone began to move slowly, and he swept away the thick smoke and headed towards Nanjing.

At the beginning, the train was not fast, but as time went by, the train gradually began to speed up. Sitting in the car, feeling the stability and comfort in the car, and then looking at the view passing quickly outside the car window, many people who took the train for the first time were amazed by this, and even Jiang Jin couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy.

It takes less than 200 miles from Zhenjiang to Nanjing. Although the speed of the train is not fast, it reaches about 25 kilometers per hour, which means that the whole journey takes more than three hours, which is less than two hours.

As the evening approached, the train finally arrived at Nanjing Station. When the train began to slow down and slowly drove into Nanjing Station, everyone was even more amazed by the convenience and speed of the train. After getting off the train, some people were still looking around in a trance, as if they were extremely shocked by the arrival of Nanjing so quickly, and at the same time they were proud and delighted.

When Jiang Jin returned to Nanjing, he immediately wrote a memorial and sent it to the capital. The memorial described in detail the process and results of today's joint dragon and test drive. At the same time, as he promised, he asked the court for the completion and opening of this railway.
Chapter completed!
