The sporadic sound of firecrackers made the hangover Yuwen Wen wake up from the bizarre dream. He opened his eyes and reached out to touch him. He found that there was no one by the pillow. He turned his head to look at the window, but he saw that it was dawn. He looked at the clock next to the couch. It was already past six o'clock in the morning.

Yu Wenwen, who was dizzy and looked at the clock regularly. After a long time, a few words appeared in his mind, "This is unscientific."

First of all, it is January of the New Year, which is the time when winter and spring are alternated at the beginning of the new year, so it is late and it takes seven o'clock in the morning to get dark.

Secondly, because it is winter and spring, it gets dark early, and it gets dark around 6:30 in the afternoon.

So what's going on now?

Yuwen Wen lay on the couch, his head blank. After waiting for a while, he found that no one came over. He muttered in his heart: Who is serving the bed? He is a mess? He is not attentive at all!

Although he didn't have to hold a woman to fall asleep, nor did he "have no girls" every night, the person next to him disappeared early this morning, and even if he went to "change clothes", he had been going for too long...

Yuwen Wen lay down for a while, recovered, got up in his clothes, ringed the bell, and then eunuchs and palace maids came in, lit the candles, and served him to change his clothes.

And asked what to eat for dinner.

After hearing the eunuch's request, Yuwen Wen looked at the darker outside again and finally came to his senses: It's evening now, no wonder he felt something was wrong just now!

The reason why the beauties in the harem did not show up alone is because today the foreign women went to the palace to pay homage to the queen. So in the afternoon, the queen and concubines were drinking and talking to the foreign women at the imperial women's courtyard.

It seems that the banquet is probably just over.

Yuwen Wen drank a bowl of sobering soup, read today's recipe, ordered a few dishes, finished washing, and sat in front of the desk in a daze.

I finally remembered what happened today.

It was the New Year, and Yuwen Wen went to the military camp to drink and chat with the soldiers today. He accidentally drank too much and got drunk and got drunk and returned to the palace. On the way back to the palace, he fell asleep in a daze and slept until just now.

So, what was the dream I had just now?

Yuwen Wen ordered people to prepare paper and pen, and began to write quickly, and write down his dreams.

He had a bizarre dream. In the dream, people were dressed in "ancient costumes", but the land transportation was a train, and a train with a speed of nearly a hundred miles per hour, galloping on the Central Plains.

The starting point of the train is Guangzhou Fanyu, with a large number of men and women wearing "ancient costumes" boarding the train with suitcases and taking the train all the way north.

The train crosses mountains and ridges, crosses the river at Xiakou Yangtze River Bridge, enters the Han Mian area, crosses Tongbai Mountain, enters the Henan area, crosses the Yellow River Bridge in Yingzhou, and enters the Hebei area.

After passing Yu Pass again, I walked through the western Liaoning road and arrived at Liaodong.

As a passenger, he witnessed the bizarre scenes along the way. The major cities along the way are all metropolis with a permanent population of hundreds of thousands. The neon lights on the streets are flashing all night, and there are a large number of tall chimneys with thick smoke standing like forests.

In the field, there are steam tractors on the cultivated land, and on the rivers, countless steam boats are sailing. All signs indicate that this is an era that has completed the industrial revolution, but people's clothing is still "ancient costumes".

The central government system is still three provinces and six ministries. There is no constitutional monarchy or parliament. The emperor is still the real emperor, who is in charge of the world and is drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman.

The land and colonies of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire have spread all over the world. Every moment, the land is bathed in the sun, known as the "Empire of the Sun". Because of the emergence of wireless telegrams, the center is very familiar with what is happening everywhere.

The King's Army, equipped with steam tanks and breech guns, traveled all over the world in a steamship, and was invincible.

So who is the emperor?

Yuwen Wen, who got out of the car, walked out of the train station with the crowds. Suddenly, he heard a huge roar from above his head. When he looked up, he saw a huge steam propeller plane whizzing past.

This is a flying wing-shaped aircraft. Eight steam propellers roared, and a large amount of steam was released from the rear, making the fuselage shrouded in a cloud, just like Kunpeng traveling in the nine heavens, about to land on the earth.

In his sight, there was a huge propaganda poster standing on the side of the square in front of the station. He looked closely and was stunned.

Now it is the 170th year of Mingde. The propaganda poster is a portrait of the emperor. The emperor who has been in power for 170 years turned out to be SpongeBob SquarePants.

Thinking of this, Yuwen Wen stopped writing and felt ridiculous about his bizarre dream.

The trajectory of history, because his efforts have already shown significant deviations, as the initiator, must be responsible for the various impacts brought about by such deviations.

......

In the East Palace, the prince Yuwen Weicheng was playing with his sons on a model train. Yuwen Xu, the oldest, directed his younger brothers to "smash" the train with a serious look. Yuwen Weicheng watched his sons have a lot of fun and suddenly remembered the past.

Back then, it was his father who accompanied him and his younger brothers to play the steam train. In the blink of an eye, many years have passed, and similar scenes have reappeared. Now, as his father, he is playing with his sons.

My father once described him a bizarre world many times. In that world, steam boats were walking in the water, steam trains were walking on the ground, chimneys were standing in the metropolis, and thick smoke was sprayed out day and night.

Under the chimney are countless factories, and a large number of people become workers in the factory. They do not need to work at sunrise or rest at sunset. They go to work on time and get off work every day, do not need to farm or textile, and can support their families by relying on wages.

At night, the gas lights light up, illuminating the metropolis under the night sky.

In the metropolis, there are sewers that are so wide that they can run several carriages side by side, with extremely strong drainage capacity. Even in the rainy season, there will be no water accumulation in the city;

There is centralized water supply, and the water pipe is connected to every household. As long as the water hose is turned on, residents can drink clean drinking water;

There are public hospitals, and residents can go to the hospital for treatment when they are sick. The doctor has excellent medical skills and is not a problem to treat major and minor diseases. If the patient is seriously ill or needs surgery, he can also be "hospitalized" and get proper care and treatment in the hospital.

There are public schools at all levels, and children of appropriate age can enter for free until they "graduate from junior high school", which is "compulsory education". If you have good grades after "graduate from junior high school", you can go to "high school" and finally take the imperial examination.

The living conditions of the people are much better than that of now, and the government is very different. Countless telegram lines extend from the capital to all directions. Whether it is Liaodong in the north or Jiaozhou in the south, whether it is the Western Regions or the East China Sea, what happened that day can be transmitted to the center the next day.

The world described by my father was too bizarre, and Yuwen Weicheng always felt unbelievable.

But when his childhood toy steamship (padwheel, propeller) became practical, he was full of longing for the world his father portrayed.

Looking at his son, Yuwen Weicheng said, "Dalang, you have fun with your brothers, do you know?"

Yu Wenxu nodded: "Yes!"

Yuwen Weicheng got up and walked to the desk beside him. There was a thick stack of information piled up. He picked up the top one.

"Steam Powered Vehicle Development Plan (Precise Draft)" is the title of this material. Yuwen Weicheng sat down and carefully looked it out.

The steamship model he played with when he was young has now become a reality, so it is the steam train's turn next.

His son is playing with a steam train model now. When he grows up in the future, he should see the steam train galloping on the earth with his own eyes as if he is seeing the steam boat practical.
