Chapter 530: The Brave Trainman
The importance of transportation to business has been the top priority of everything since ancient times.
If you want to be rich, build roads first. This is not just a joke. In any world, wealth begins with cargo transportation, and this is also the reason why merchants with fleets can quickly accumulate wealth. In ancient times and in this life, wealthy merchants have mastered cargo transportation. There are no canals in this world yet, so water transportation is basically dominated by rivers, so several big cities in the Central Plains are basically by rivers.
The Emperor of Wu was also somewhat foresighted, but unfortunately, he didn't have a deep understanding of land transportation. After leaving the city, he soon lost his good road. Gao Li was forced to invent new suspension and pneumatic tires by various bumps, but now thinking about it, building roads is the real way to go once and for all.
Now that Yanan is becoming more stable, commercial activities will be negotiated in the near future. Once the negotiation is completed, Yanan's terrifying agricultural products will pour into Yannan City in an astonishing quantity. By then, it will be impossible to digest such a large number based on its current land transportation capabilities.
The biggest problem with agricultural and sideline products is the shelf life. After the shelf life, we have to talk about the shelf life. Anyway, the shorter the time, the better the taste. Over time, it will only turn into alcohol.
In human history in the previous life, trains were invented decades earlier than cars, because such things that require large-scale freight transportation must be more efficient than small cars.
However, Gao Li cannot invest in the new Zhenqi locomotive himself, he needs to recruit people to join.
Princes of Yanan need to invest money together, and two branches run through the entire territory of Yanan!
This will be an extremely long-term basic investment, which will drive the development along the railway line at a terrifying speed. In the early years, Ah Mei, the country's initial wealth accumulation history was almost equivalent to the history of railway development. However, the only disadvantage is that this thing was built for a long time, with a large investment, and it was difficult to recover the cost in a short period of time. This requires the princes along the way to have enough business vision and courage.
Gao Li’s dream is very big, but now there is one biggest problem that needs to be solved urgently.
He doesn't have a true qi motorcycle.
He had taken all kinds of cars from Greenskin to Fuxing to Maglev in his previous life, but his real understanding of the train can be said to be zero.
but!
There are two little brothers in their company, claiming to be train fans, who know the history of trains and various models of trains. Speaking of which, it is a set of things, Gao Li has heard a lot. In order to drive heavy cargo, the engine part of the True Qi Locomotive also needs to be redesigned, which must meet the needs of long-term operation and large loads. Moreover, there is another problem, that is, the source of true Qi.
At present, the main source of power of the true qi machinery produced by Gaoli is the driver himself, which is more than enough to deal with car driving and tractor work. After all, the energy conversion rate of the true qi machine is quite high. But once this thing enters the field of a sixty-ton-a-car train, it is completely different. Gaoli needs to make a large enough traction head, which has a large enough low-speed torque, which can drag hundreds of tons of cargo forward on the track. This traction head also needs a structure that can store true qi.
At present, the only thing that can store true qi is the white sand. In Yannan City, white sand can be mass-produced on a small scale, but if it is necessary to meet long-distance transportation, how to recharge white sand is the problem. After all, you can’t stop and immediately find a group of experts to replenish the white sand’s true qi?
Where can I get infinite sources of true qi?
So, all the questions returned to the origin of everything: what is true qi.
So far, Gao Li's understanding of true qi has reached another stage of multi-dimensional space. This is a conclusion drawn from combining Yi Yiyi, a genuine celestial being, and Gao Li's own scientific literacy.
Gao Li believes that the true qi itself does not exist in this space. The true qi that we can see and touch now is very likely to be a projection of some kind of energy on this world. Because Gao Li has always been wondering about something, the energy level shown by the true qi itself is actually very low, but the energy level of the true qi bursts out is very high. This is unreasonable. The explanation that Gao Li can think of is that the true qi itself is operating in another world and affecting the world. The true qi that can be seen in this world is just a shadow most of the time, just like a person watching an explosion from a monitor. Although the explosion level is different and the scenes seen in the monitor are different, the real power of the explosion can only be reflected in the explosion location.
For example, people can control the true energy of that world through a touch screen, that is...
Is this a mobile game world? Gao Li was a little surprised when he thought of this. It should be unreasonable. If this is a mobile game world, it should be the mobile game he developed. But his mobile game does not have such a complex background story setting. It is a world with blurred background, invisible, ancient style, and that mobile game does not have evil or celestial beings.
Thinking of this, Gao Li smiled bitterly, and indeed he still wanted to return to the previous world in his heart.
Thinking about my previous life, I even had to bring my cell phone when I was eating and going to the bathroom. Since I came to this world, I have no longer had my cell phone company. I feel much more relaxed, and I don’t know what happened.
Forget it, stop thinking about it, just think about the train honestly.
Energy storage has become a big problem.
Without high-speed energy storage equipment, it is impossible to take a group of experts to charge along the way. This thing is unsustainable.
It really doesn't work, boil water?
There is high-quality coal in Yanan. How about boiling water on the spot to drive the steam engine?
The structure of the steam engine train is complex and complex, but it can be said to be simple and simple. Anyone who has been to junior high school knows that Gao Li was once taken to the Railway Guerrilla Memorial Park by a man named Gao Sen. There is nothing new in the park, but several retired locomotives were thrown into the garden as specimens. At that time, Gao Li ran up and down with a group of children, and saw the front of the car thoroughly. The principle was probably all in mind.
I didn’t expect that I didn’t expect that I originally thought that I would start the era of true qi punk, but did I expect that I would still boil water in the end? The essence of human beings is still boil water after all...
Standard rails are 1.5 meters wide, and there are many types of rail steel models. Gao Li can't remember them clearly. They are about five centimeters wide in the head, ten centimeters high, ten centimeters high, and one centimeter thick at the waist. This type of track should be able to meet the current needs. Paving train tracks is a very systematic project, which is to level the road, lay the roadbed, lay the sleepers, lay the rails, install the rail nails, and join the rails. This is a very complicated process.
No, you still have to find a way out from the true qi machine. The steam machine is really troublesome, and you have to draw the drawings to the point of vomiting.
Before he started, Gao Li had a headache.
The battle that happened outside the city in the morning spread all the princes in a flash. Although I don’t know how these people viewed this matter, at least there was a welcome change and negotiation process that was much smoother than before.
Gao Li still did not show up, but judging from the news from the palace, everything was fine.
Since that's the case, there is no need for him to continue to waste here.
Two days later, Gao Li found the Queen of Tsinghua and said goodbye to her.
When she heard that Gao Li was leaving, a hint of panic appeared on the tender face of the Tsinghua Queen. Everyone in Yanan knew that the reason why she had her current status was entirely because there was Gao Li behind her. But now that Gao Li was leaving, leaving her alone, how could she support this dynasty? However, when she said that she could not say anything about her words, she said, "I also know that it is because of your help from King Yannan that I am today. But I also know that King Yannan is busy and cannot stay here forever. So, please rest assured, I can do it myself!"
Gao Li saw the stubbornness in the girl's eyes. This stubbornness was as cute as a rebellious child. She wanted to reach out and pinch the child's face, but as she said as she said, she claimed that she had changed from "I" to a heavy word "I". Gao Li still couldn't stretch out her claws.
This is the majesty of the little queen.
"After I go back, I will plan a railway line that runs across Yanan and the Central Plains. If it can be achieved, the efficiency of cargo transportation between the two countries will be improved by hundreds or thousands of times. At that time, it will be easy for you to eat some delicious food from the Central Plains, your Majesty." Gao Li said with a smile.
"Then I, I am waiting for your good news here!" said Tsinghua.
"Stay tuned." Gao Li said.
After greeting the Queen of Tsinghua University, Gao Li then went to find Ruan Weiwu. At this time, Ruan Weiwu, He Chai and Du Miao were discussing things together. They heard that Gao Li was leaving, and the three of them were a little surprised.
"If you leave in such a hurry, is there something urgent in Yannan City?" Ruan Weiwu asked.
Gao Li patted a piece of paper in front of Ruan Weiwu and said, "I plan to build such a freight method between the two countries, and it is like this."
Gao Li told the basic concept of the train to the three princes, and then the three princes were full of shock.
"You said, this thing can bring 100,000 kilograms of goods in one carriage?" Ruan Weiwu didn't believe it first.
"Yes, but that's a long-term plan. There are still some technical problems that cannot be solved at the front of the tractor." Gao Li had a little headache.
"What's the problem? Let's help you!" What Du Miao envies the most is Gao Li's endless fresh things. He wishes to get into Gao Li's technical team.
"You..." Gao Li looked at Du Miao and was about to refuse, but suddenly remembered that this was not a ready-made solution in front of him?
What is Du Miao best at? The fusion technology of evil and machinery! Xie Yi has extremely strong cultivation! At present, no equipment can charge the true qi, but biological can do it! Gao Li has no way to press a person on the driver's seat to charge the front of the car, but he can find a way to create a true qi locomotive that combines evil and heavenly technology!
Think about it, a car with its own consciousness has eyes on its head and can run by itself. If you are idle and have nothing to do, you may be able to chat with the driver. Wouldn't that be...
