Chapter 2 Is it okay to ride a train on your face?
In fact, for a newly developed train, the interior is the least worth observing place because it is the most valuable place. But Ouyang Bian still looked carefully, because some things can also be seen here, such as the size of the space, the layout of the layout, and... the feeling of later generations.
For Ouyang Bian, the later generations are already very distant memories. Many things are already blurred. Sometimes he even forgets that he is a later generation, but at the moment he saw the train, he finally remembered it again.
Ouyang Bian looked at the interior with emotion. The train had a different sense of technology from the later high-speed rail, and it was also different from the simplicity of the green-skinned train before. This was an industrial civilization and agricultural civilization appeared at a time when it should not have been intersected. Therefore, the interior inside was quite strange, at least in Ouyang Bian's opinion.
The interior is luxurious and comfortable - after all, it is to receive His Majesty the Emperor of Daxia - but this kind of decoration is a bit out of place with industry, and it seems that things from the two eras are merged together - in fact, it is the same.
The carriage is isolated from the front cab and steam engine. After all, the movements and stills of the steam engine when it is started are hard to describe, such as sound, smoke, shaking, etc. Fortunately, it can be isolated to a certain extent through the trailer carriage and baffle.
But even so, you can still feel these in the car.
When the steam engine started, the whole car trembled slightly, accompanied by the sound of the whistle, an action of exhausting steam to remove high pressure. From the window, a black fog and white gas were seen mixed together, which made Ouyang Bian feel like he was in that gray world - the era of steam cars, which usually had this tone.
When the train was fully started, the wheels and rails made a sound, and the clanging sound was quite rhythmic. The whole train moved slowly, and the scenery by the window was slowly retreating. However, because it was made of crystal, the light transmission was not very good, and only a small hole was opened. It was probably built specifically for observation, and I am afraid it would not be built like this in the future. Ouyang Bian frowned slightly - it was time to create the glass.
But these are all trivial matters.
The train slowly accelerated its speed. Ouyang Bian silently estimated that when the train was stable, it was estimated that it had reached a speed of 30 kilometers. At this time, the train was indeed quite stable. The collision between the wheels and rails was rhythmically and stable. The railways of tens of thousands of meters could still be walked for a period of time for a train of 30 kilometers. Moreover, the railways were still circular. As long as you want, you could keep walking.
Ouyang Bian leaned on the soft sofa chair, feeling this strange feeling carefully and the rhythm of the train. Jiang Rucheng and others dared not disturb him. There was no sound in the car except for the clanging sound. After a long time, Ouyang Bian opened his eyes and saw Jiang Rucheng's expectant eyes. Ouyang Bian nodded affirmatively: "It's a very good experience. Although there is still a lot of room for improvement, it is already amazing to be able to achieve this level."
Jiang Rucheng grinned and smiled.
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "There is still a lot of room for improvement. I really hope you will continue to work hard and increase the speed. First, mention the speed of 12 shops per hour (60 kilometers, one for every ten miles of the inn shop), and then mention 18 shops.
You don’t need to worry about the funding issue. The railway group will quickly lay the railway tracks and order trains from you. At that time, you will set up a train manufacturing factory and upgrade it while manufacturing. After the regulations on the railways are formulated, the locomotive technology can be gradually upgraded."
Jiang Rucheng was overjoyed. This was what he had always been worried about. Although the R&D funds seemed to be quite large, they had to be distributed to three projects. Although the train was the key, it could not completely encroach on funds from other projects. Such funds could not withstand the burn.
However, if research, production and sales are integrated, there will be much room for operation. You can upgrade at any time while manufacturing, and accumulate a lot of experience during operation. In this way, the train manufacturing factory will probably soon become a big group!
"Your Majesty, we must first build a railway wherever we go?"
Jiang Rucheng looked at Ouyang Bian with anticipation.
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "This still needs to be studied, but one horizontal and two vertical are currently necessary."
Jiang Rucheng thought about it and said, "Chang'an-Bianjing-Mizhou front line, this is the horizontal line, Xingqing-Chang'an, Dading Prefecture-Bianjing, are these two horizontal lines?"
Ouyang Bian nodded with a smile: "Well, it's almost the same, but you should go south, such as Xingqing-Chang'an-Xingyuan, Dading-Bianjing-Caizhou."
Jiang Rucheng couldn't help but take a breath.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being his own boss.
My boss was very bold in the past. As early as more than 20 years ago, he dared to let the central bank build service areas everywhere. His Western Engineering Construction had been around the Song Dynasty.
Now that the train is just the first time to test, his boss dares to plan one horizontal and two vertical lines to connect important areas of Daxia. The projects of these three lines are a huge number. If it weren't for previous engineering experience, Jiang Rucheng would be scared to death when he heard this.
Moreover, the boss has something to do with this route.
Xingqing is an important node in managing the original area of Xixia. Needless to say, Chang'an is now the legal capital, Bianjing is now the accompanying capital, and Dading Prefecture is the front line against the Liao Kingdom. Once the train arrives at Dading Prefecture, Dading Prefecture will definitely be as solid as a god. Mizhou is an industrial park. When the train route arrives, it can provide industrial raw materials for Mizhou and transport materials to Bianjing.
There are two end points that are not that necessary, one is Xingyuan Prefecture and the other is Caizhou. These two places are not that important, but this is not that important, which refers to economics. If we look at it strategically, these two points are also very important, because one is close to Lizhou Road and the other is close to Huainan West Road, which means that this is the border of Songxia!
Your Majesty wants a train to ride his face and directly transport all the military supplies to the eyes of the Song Dynasty!
Jiang Rucheng became even more excited.
Sure enough, these things are just means of transportation in my eyes, but in His Majesty, they are tools for dominating the world. Not everyone has this thing.
Seeing the resources Jiang Rucheng was about to obtain, Zhang Futu and Lin Tong were so envious that their eyes turned red.
However, they also knew in their hearts that land is the focus of the country, and trains are the key to transportation on the road, so they could not compete for this.
But they also have to fight for resources.
Zhang Futu rubbed his palms, a little impatient but didn't know how to speak. Ouyang Bian smiled when he saw this: "Mr. Zhang, don't need to be in a hurry. If the steam engine on Mr. Zhang can make progress, I can really promise you that after the navy splits, it will gradually be renewed into a steam ship."
Zhang Futu was overjoyed: "Thank you, thank you, your Majesty!"
Seeing Zhang Futu also received a promise, Lin Tong was also anxious, but Ouyang Bian would not favor one or the other. He smiled and said, "Mr. Lin doesn't need to be anxious. As long as you can build cars, the government's vehicle purchases will be given priority!"
Lin Tong was also very happy when he heard this. He was the boss of the Sitong Train Train before. Now the Sitong Train Train in Daxia also has his shares. The things he has developed will be implemented in the Sitong Train Train at that time.
In the past, the Sitong Train opened up government procurement, so the Sitong Train became the number one automaker in the Song Dynasty. He knew how large the government procurement volume was, even larger than the number of trains and ships!
When Ouyang Bian saw Lin Tong's smile, he knew that Lin Tong had already understood the prospect, but he still reminded: "A car needs to use a miniaturized engine, so the steam engine may not be suitable for the car. After all, the current steam engine is mainly external combustion. The separate combustion furnace and water tank make the size and battery life of the car a big problem, so it is still difficult to actually use it in a short time.
As for the internal combustion engine…”
Ouyang Bian thought about it, shook his head with a smile, "...you just work hard."
Lin Tong couldn't help but feel sad.
In fact, Ouyang Bian said this, they all know why the automobile team fell to the edge. Isn’t it because the steam engine needed for cars needs to be miniaturized? However, it is very difficult to build an externally-burning steam engine that can be installed on vehicles now. Unless the internal combustion engine that Ouyang Bian mentioned, especially the so-called gasoline internal combustion engine, can truly have practical results.
But this is very difficult.
Although gasoline and diesel have been refined through the efforts of their team, the research and development of internal combustion engines is still far away.
Compared to steam engines, the research and development of internal combustion engines requires too much, and Lin Tong's team is difficult to move forward. Even though Ouyang Bian has pointed out the direction for them, Ouyang Bian himself is a liberal arts student, and he only has only a few understandings about these. He gave a few terms to explain them, and then gave a general direction. Even if he had been guided, the team would work hard for the rest.
This is how the steam engine was developed, but the technology of the steam engine is relatively simple, but the technical difficulty of the gasoline internal combustion engine has increased exponentially. For those of them, some technical thresholds require time to accumulate.
Although Lin Tong believes that it can be developed in the near future, compared to the fact that the train has already been put into use and the development of ships has reached the stage where samples can be produced, cars still exist in imagination.
It’s not that there are no steam cars, but that thing is a train without rails.
That thing cannot be carried by the road, and it also requires special cement roads to avoid collapse. Such things are not practical.
Lin Tong gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I promised you that from at least two years to five years, there will definitely be mature products!"
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Just do your best."
This matter is not that simple!
