The content of the newspaper is just a good view for those who are unexpectedly in Youzhou. After all, it is impossible to actually go to Youzhou to participate in this art exhibition.

The people do not have so much spare time, and even if they have free time, they don’t have free money. The people in Youzhou like to be able to usher in spring as soon as possible. With the establishment of the school, many people have some ability to read.

The main reason why we participate in the event is that everyone wants to join in the fun. There are many novel things that may appear in Youzhou at any time.

Students and scholars in Youzhou are very interested in this art exhibition. They are all able to write good handwriting with their pens and can be very willing to show it.

Youzhou has never advocated such an activity in recent years. Now this activity happens to be very interested in scholars, which directly leads to the fact that some people have formed a circle of calligraphy and painting before the event has been launched.

They are also guessing what kind of scene will be and whether there will be room for them to perform.

Li De didn't think about this. He could be very busy now. The large steam engine of the Blacksmith Workshop is being tested to drive the railway train.

The idea of ​​a rail steam locomotive was from the time of making a carousel. At that time, I thought about making a train. After analysis, the risk was uncontrollable, and then a short-distance urban rail car project was found.

Railway track vehicles will be used on the periphery of Youzhou, because the need to lay the railway will have a certain impact on the road.

The railway track path that was tested first was the distance from Youzhou urban area to Bancheng Inn. In the past, I had to ride a horse. I believe that if you have a railway train in the future, you can bring convenience to the lives of the people.

"Grandmaster, the iron-gauge car we manufacture is divided into three parts. One is the front of the vehicle equipped with steam power and the control room. Put the steam power behind the control room, and then there are two carriages that can carry 60 people."

At thirty miles at full speed, it took less than half an hour to travel back and forth between the city and Bancheng Inn. Steamed cars were subject to railroads, so they could not run after snowfall and needed to clear snow.

Li De looked at the ancient style of steamed cars, and the painting style was a bit strange, and it looked like a dimensional design no matter how you think.

When Li De entered the car, the most empty inside was that the columns and handrails had not yet been installed. The load of 60 people means that they could only stand up to accommodate so much. If the seats were installed, it would probably be about 30 people at most.

Although the number of people is smaller, it looks pretty good. After all, the emergence of rail cars can really be regarded as a pioneering move by Veda, opening a new era of transportation tools.

"How much does it cost?" Li De asked.

"The total cost is 600,000 yuan, mainly based on steel, and track construction is very costly."

The designers are all telling the truth.

If a rail car made of steel is melted into weapons, it can satisfy the armor used by tens of thousands of soldiers, but the money is worth it.

Li De felt ache at this time. Six hundred thousand guan was nothing, but you should know that the Blacksmith Workshop carried out many projects. The dozens of projects were all related to steam power. It may consume more than one million guan.

The total tax revenue of the city guard office is only a little, and a blacksmith's workshop accounts for a few percent, which is more than the development funds of various departments.

“Try it.”

Li De came here today to see the test drive. He only invested so much to make the railroad car operate.

Hu Rumble!

How could Li De feel familiar when he heard it? The reality of steam locomotives was very moving, and Li De and other craftsmen were sitting in the car.

Test runs are usually a bit dangerous, but the Blacksmith Workshop has undergone repeated tests, and today's test runs only for the entire journey.

Li De and others rode on the iron railroad car slowly from the tracks of the Blacksmith Workshop to the steering direction after the specific railroad car would be made to drive the iron railroad car in the direction they should go.

It is also very simple when returning. This steam power is an unlimited front and rear form, which only requires a change device. However, when the reverse direction is in the form of the same, someone needs to assist in driving in the front. If you encounter problems, you will promptly issue an alarm and pull the brake to slow down.

This is the design solution. Only double rails or double fronts can be used in the form of double rails, but for a rail car that uses transportation, it is a waste to install a two-way front.

The designer is ready to place the position on the carriage, stand high and look far on the roof, so that accidents can be avoided as much as possible.

Li De was still very steadily riding on this steam locomotive. He drove at a constant speed of 30 miles, which was much faster than that of a carriage. It was still a bit cold to enjoy the winter scenery back and forth.

Without glass windows, you can only endure it, and the sound is relatively loud, which makes Li De feel like he is not very good, but the craftsmen are very happy. This is the test where the vehicle can install glass windows, as long as the rail car can drive safely, they will be the result.

Li De regretted getting on the bus. He was so cold when he was driving at a constant speed of 30 miles and there was no window. Even if there were too many cars on the bus, he couldn't warm him up.

So Li De decided to let the vehicle return and wait until all the facilities in the carriage were installed before testing.

The test run was successful, and the next operation was not something that the blacksmiths had to consider. Continue to carry out the next project with rewards, and it was all about losing money.

When Li De returned to the city guard's mansion, he felt very cold at this time. With the railroad car, he needed to consider mass production.

According to the current Chamber of Commerce's carriage fleet, the return and delivery take up a lot of manpower and carriages. With the railroad carriage, short-distance carriages must be considered in order to ensure the transportation between Bancheng Inn.

The number of rail cars is not small, and direct rails in the suburbs need to be planned, especially workshops involving a large number of cargo space transportation needs. He decided to drive the freight rail cars directly to the industrial area.

A freight station is established on the shore, and then all the cargo spaces transported by steam trucks are loaded and unloaded at the freight station to reduce transportation time.

If this happens, the investment in railroad vehicles will not be less than ten million yuan in the future. It is still impossible to determine the extent to which ten steam locomotives and construction railways can cover the construction, so we can only deploy the main location first.

The first thing to use is definitely commercial transportation. If the transporter is not sure when he can get the money back, it is not easy to collect iron ore now, and you must earn the benefits back.

So the first official railway track was from Youzhou Industrial Zone to Youzhou Dock, which was directly connected to the dock. When the railroad train arrived at the dock, it was equivalent to a dock.

The main purpose of freight is to provide transportation for sea transportation, from which the benefits of transportation can be earned are fixed, and relying on steam powered transportation can perfectly replace caravan transportation.
