Chapter 1,392 If you don’t believe it, you are stupid

A test railway with a circumference of ten kilometers has been built around the Yinfeng Prison. Looking at the bright railway track, Su You knew that Shen Kuo had run countless laps on this track. Today, the old man was following him.

Show off.

There is also a water and coal carriage attached to the front of the car, followed by ten wooden carriages. The carriages are as big as two boxcars. According to a rough estimate of a boxcar with a full load of 1,500 kilograms, this train can pull three

Ten thousand kilograms is equivalent to fifteen tons of goods.

The carriage was so crude that even the front of the car had no cover, and it was fully open.

In other words, this thing is still experimental in Su You's mind.

Members of several interest groups are adding coal to the boiler and maintaining air pressure.

Su You looked at the simple body of the car: "Where should we sit?"

Shen Kuo was a little surprised: "Why are you sitting? We are all standing."

Su You looked up at the sky and murmured: "As expected of a group of engineering dogs, pure..."

There were a few small horses in the engine room, probably for maintenance and replacement of parts. Su You picked them up and threw them into the low carriage, climbed in and sat down: "Let's drive."

"Okay!" A cheerful young man on the front of the car waited for Shen Kuo and Chao Guodong to climb in. He happily agreed and pulled the steam regulating valve. With a huge whistling sound, steam poured into the cylinder.

Finally, the train began to make slight movements and slowly moved forward.

This is a magical experience for Chao Guodong, who is used to riding horses.

The train started to roar with smoke and steam.

Su You suddenly discovered that practice is the only criterion for testing truth - it turns out that engineering dogs have their own reasons for standing, it's too ridiculous!

Now he only felt that the muscles on his face were shaking constantly, and he had to grit his teeth to avoid biting his tongue.

Persistence! I have to sit down the little horse that I have laid out with tears in my eyes...

Two riders rushed to the front of the train with red flags waving and started to clear the way along the tracks.

Su You shouted loudly: "He, he, they! The two of them are here! What are they doing?!"

Shen Kuo replied loudly: "It's okay! The two of you are here! Clear the road! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! You two are here! Clear the road!"

Su You decided not to ask. The guy was shaking so much that he stuttered when he spoke.

The train went faster and faster, drawing a circle around the factory area.

After sitting for a while, Su You finally gave in and decided to stand up. The engineering dogs were right. In this car, standing was more comfortable than sitting.

As soon as he stood up, little Maza immediately had his own soul and jumped happily towards the other end of the carriage.

Su You watched Xiao Mazao go away with stupid eyes, and finally hit the other end of the carriage and fell down.

Huh, I finally didn’t become a Mazhajing...

The cost of this locomotive is 30,000 gu, which is still the cost price. It is enough to buy three large houses in Bianjing City. In Hexi, it is worth 30,000 acres of land.

Therefore, the coal used by Shen Kuo was very good, and the smoke was not great.

It should be said that apart from the details, the design is still very successful.

The train circled five times before stopping. Su You roughly estimated that when it was empty, it only ran for about half an hour.

A speed of fifty kilometers an hour!

The operator closed the steam valve, pulled the handbrake, and the cast iron brake shoe hugged the steel shaft, using friction to start braking the train.

A large amount of excess steam emerged from the exhaust pipe, shrouding the entire car body in white.

The conductor had already perfected his skills and used inertia to stop the car steadily in the garage.

Su You jumped out of the car: "Nice driving! What's your name?"

The conductor grinned, showing two rows of white teeth on his dark face: "Mr. Reporter, my name is Huang Wei!"

Su You patted his shoulder: "Come down and wash your face first. If we meet you like this next time, I still won't recognize you!"

While eating in the cafeteria, Su You called all the people in the interest group over to cheer them up: "We won this time! We took a detour on the 21st. They designed a marine steam engine on the shore, but it turned out that it was too big.

Shen, even the largest gantry crane in Shanghai cannot lift inside the Hangzhou type!"

All the group members laughed.

"There is also the hull design. It is also a big trouble to make room for the steam engine in the bilge."

"But we don't care about them, we win!"

Everyone in the interest group cheered.

After everyone had enjoyed themselves, Su You said, "But I want to give you some suggestions."

"The first is comfort. The locomotive should be equipped with springs to reduce vibration; the carriage should be enclosed to avoid being affected by rain and the like; and an obstacle removal device should be installed on the front of the locomotive to reduce the possibility of a derailment accident."

"Especially for shockproof. This thing will be used to transport ammunition. It will explode!"

"As well as the carriages, we also need to install braking devices and arrange brakemen."

"I believe that we will soon have a railway connecting Lanzhou to Luoyang, extending the east-west artery, which is equivalent to building the Bian Canal to Lanzhou!"

There was silence, the expected cheers did not happen, everyone looked at each other in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Kuo coughed dryly: "My lord, after our survey, we are going to build the railway from Lanzhou to Fengxiang Mansion. In the middle, there will be more than fifty slopes that cannot be climbed by the railway, unless... we dig a tunnel."

"Uh... this... it doesn't matter. Let's build the fifty miles from Yinfengjian to Lanzhou first. As for Longxi, Fengxiang, and even Luoyang, I believe we will succeed one day!"

"Another thing that everyone is happy about is that the research and development of our project has led to many by-products, such as a major increase in the power of steam engines, a major improvement in design, and a major improvement in transmission devices! In addition, there are now several large farmland projects

The pot camel machines used in industrial and mining industries are great achievements! Our money has not been wasted!"

"Come, I'll bring some wine and mutton soup to toast all the heroes! Drink to win!"

"Drink victory!"

In September of the sixth year of Yuanfeng, Suyou reported to Zhao Xu, and Yinfeng Supervisor designed the first steam-powered train, which cost 30,000 guan. In conjunction with the railway, it could travel thousands of miles a day and transport 80,000 kilograms of goods at a time.

Now that the railway from Yinfengjian to Lanzhou is about to be completed, the gold, silver and copper from Yinfengjian can be continuously transported to Lanzhou and transferred to Bianliang.

However, the cost of railways and trains is high. The railway is now laid on flat ground, and the cost of one mile is close to 10,000 guan. Fortunately, the railway from Chenliu to Bianliang already exists, and the roadbed is perfect, so it only costs 5,000 guan for one mile.

Bianjing also benefited a lot from the reconstruction of that railway.

In the process of developing the locomotive, the Science and Engineering Interest Society also developed two important inventions: the new boiler and the boiler machine. Now I would like to present the drawings and ask Your Majesty to order the Royal Institute of Technology to set up a special group to continue to improve.

Zhao Xu was dizzy after receiving the memorial and a box of technical drawings, and called Chen Zhaoming into the palace. This and this, um... are they real?

After seeing the drawings, Chen Zhaoming affirmed that it was true, and said that he had not congratulated His Majesty. Shanghai Shipbuilding had also developed a steam engine, which was even bigger than this.

The only drawback is that it is too heavy to be hoisted directly into the hull of the ship. Now on the 21st, a new ship is being built. This time, the government finally won.

Zhao Xu asked whether Su Mingrun's proposal to transform the railway from Chenliu to Kaifeng was feasible?

Chen Zhaoming thought for a while and said that it was certainly feasible, but I remember the Duke said that it was a pity that most of the development of engineering skills was first applied to war.

How can the emergence of steam locomotives play the greatest role? Is this right? Call several veterans of the Military Aircraft Department to ask?

Zhao Xu immediately stood up: "What is it called? The use of telegraphs in military affairs has played a huge role in this Pingxia war. The military information thousands of miles away is now known to everyone. Let's move to the military plane.

I'll go and ask in person."

Arriving at the military aircraft station, Guo Kui and others were discussing the situation in Liao and Ningxia.

The Liao Kingdom could do nothing in a short period of time, but the situation in Ningxia was somewhat troublesome.

The main reason is that there are too many small and tribal countries around, the Song Dynasty has a small army, some local soldiers are afraid to use it, and several veteran generals are also worried.

Seeing Zhao Xu coming, Guo Kui brought several veterans to see him.

Several civil servants who were previously in charge of the Military Aircraft Department have all been promoted. The current civil servants in charge here are Cai Bian, a member of Zhongshushe, and Han Jiang, who once served as deputy privy envoy and participated in political affairs, and was just transferred back from Henan Prefecture.

The status of the Military Aircraft Department has been completely confirmed through this appointment. After Su You took up the post of counselor and pacified the Xia Kingdom, the current position of the Military Aircraft Department has the same status as the prime minister in Zhao Xu's mind.

The main function of the Military Aircraft Department, after the operation of Su You, has become a link between the political, military and financial aspects of the empire, with overall consideration of the comprehensive national strength, and on this basis, it proposes national military strategies and formulates long-term plans for the emperor.

A department that provides early, mid-term and short-term strategic planning, future national defense and advancement, and provides advice on military technology, military tactics, army construction, legion deployment, general selection, etc.

This is the concept of the Imperial High Command. The only difference is that the supreme commander is always Zhao Xu. The function of the Military Aircraft Department is to ensure that military decisions made in the name of the emperor have the greatest accuracy.

When they heard that Da Song had developed such a machine, several veterans were first shocked.

This is real?

However, the reputation of Duke Shu and Master Chen is first-rate. They say it is true. Even if you find it unbelievable, you'd better believe it is true.

Otherwise, it means that you are not knowledgeable, you do not understand, and you are stupid.

Even those who don't question them actually don't understand either, but as long as you dare to question, those who don't understand as well as you will dare to look at you with superior eyes like an idiot.

Because you are not stupid because you do not understand these knowledge, you are stupid because you dare to question the Duke of Shu, Bachelor Chen.

Although we don’t understand, we believe in Duke Guo and Master Chen. In the end, facts will prove that we are just a little bit smarter than you!
