Chapter 1844 Bian River

Although Su Cheng's arrival brought great shock to the officialdom in Bianzhou, there was no change for the people of Bianzhou, so they should do whatever they should do.

Su Cheng and Wang Shengnan walked hand in hand in the streets and alleys of Bianzhou, feeling very comfortable.

Although they are already very familiar with Bianzhou, the important thing is that they finally got rid of the huge light bulbs and realized the joy of being alone.

Just as the two of them were having a lovely and comfortable trip, the noise suddenly became louder in front of them.

"Go to Bianhe quickly!"

"A monster appeared on the Bian River! No, it's a strange ship!"

"What strange ship?"

"The boat was very big, with thick smoke, making loud noises, and running very fast!"

"It's really strange!"

Many people couldn't help but rush towards the shouts, wanting to see what the strange ship was doing.

Su Cheng couldn't help but feel aroused when he heard this, and there was thick smoke and a loud sound. He ran very quickly, and the answer was almost out of his mind.

Wang Shengnan's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Can it be that the steamboat has been successfully built?"

Su Cheng nodded with a smile and said, "As long as the steam engine is built, the transformation of the ship will not be too difficult. When I left Chang'an, the Ministry of Works was about to complete, so this may be a test of the steamship."

The appearance of the steam engine is really shocking, so Wang Shengnan is also very proud, especially Su Cheng gave her the design drawings of the steam engine, which made her feel more proud of the steam engine.

"Let's go and have a look!" Wang Shengnan said happily.

"Okay." Su Cheng said happily. In fact, Wang Shengnan didn't say that, he also wanted to go and see it. He was still very concerned about the application of steam engines.

After all, the steam engine triggered the industrial revolution. The steam engine is not only used by trains, but also has great potential waiting for people to explore.

Su Cheng turned his head and waved, and the carriage and entourage following not far behind immediately rushed up.

Su Cheng first helped Wang Shengnan into the carriage, and then climbed in himself.

"Follow the crowd in front to go to the Bian River to take a look." Su Cheng ordered, and his entourage guards followed the surging crowd to the Bian River.

When Su Cheng and Wang Shengnan arrived at the Bianhe Wharf, there were already crowds of people. Thanks to their fact that they were not far from the Bianhe Wharf, otherwise, there would be no place to settle down.

Su Cheng came out of the carriage and stood on the carriage and looked into the distance. There was indeed a boat on the river surface that was completely different from other boats. The biggest difference was that the boat had a tall chimney, which was spraying thick smoke at this moment.

Everyone around was talking.

"This ship has been smoking. Is it already on fire?"

"It shouldn't be a fire. If it were a fire, the people on the boat would have been in a hurry to put out the fire. How could they walk slowly on the boat?"

"The smoke comes out of the chimney, it is definitely not a fire. Who would have set up a chimney specifically for the fire?"

"Since a lot of fires are on fire, why are there smoke?"

"Oh, you guys are thinking too much, the smoke is because the boat is boiling water and cooking!"

"Bah! Will such thick smoke be emitted from cooking at your home?"

"You are stupid. There are many people on the boat, cook more rice, and burn more fires. Of course, the smoke coming out is very thick!"

"Then why didn't there smoke from other ships?"

"Well, this..."

Just as everyone was talking and puzzled, a sneer came from beside them.

"Look at you, you don't even have this, you really don't have any insight!"

What? How dare you say that everyone has no knowledge?

Everyone around him turned their heads angrily after hearing this, and then asked very politely: "Oh? Could it be that the young men know the reason?"

There is no way to be polite. Look at the big guys of these people, and then look at the group of tough followers behind. Who wouldn't be polite when you see him?

Yuchi Baolin said proudly: "This is called a steaming car. You can walk fast on the water without wind or oars. Haven't you seen it before?"

The people around him couldn't help looking at each other after hearing this. Steamboat? What does this mean?

Seeing that the people around him were still confused, Cheng Chumo explained: "Do you know the train? The train is also known as a steam car. It can run fast without pulling or pushing. It is just a steaming car that is driven by steam. The same is true for the steam car in front of you. Do you understand now?"

Everyone around them made a "oh" sound after hearing this, but they still didn't understand it.

However, they had heard of the train, and the rumors were amazing. They heard that the court planned to build the train to every corner of the Tang Dynasty, and they were also full of expectations for the train.

Unexpectedly, the train did not see it, and it actually saw the fireboat first. Oh no, it should be called a steamboat.

In fact, Su Cheng is not far from Cheng Chumo and the others, so when Cheng Chumo and the others talk, they noticed them all at once. There is no way, who told them that their voices were so loud?

"You guys have really good ears!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

Cheng Chumo and the others noticed Su Cheng and hurriedly said, "There is no fun place in Bianzhou City? Steaming cars are making such a big noise, so of course we have to come and take a look."

Li Chongyi sighed: "I didn't expect that the steamed car was built so quickly. I just don't know if there are any trains as fierce."

Li Zhen shook his head slightly and said, "It must be not as fierce as the train. The train runs so fast on the road. After all, the boat is on the water, so it is incomparable, but it must be much faster than an ordinary boat!"

Yuchi Baolin said angrily: "You are not talking nonsense, the steamboat must be invincible! By the way, I have never taken a steamboat."

After saying that, the few people all looked at Su Cheng with eager eyes. It would be great if they could return to Chang'an by steamboat.

The wind and waves in the inland river are small, so Cheng Chumo and the others are not afraid of vomiting and paralyzing.

"The boat is going to dock, probably to replenish food or coal. Let's go and have a look," Su Cheng said with a smile.

Cheng Chumo and the others were waiting for Su Cheng's words and began to squeeze forward one by one.

They were all big and round, and they drove very quickly. Su Cheng's carriage followed behind and soon squeezed to the front.

"Hey, isn't that Chen Tong from the Ministry of Works?" Su Cheng recognized the officials from the Ministry of Works with a look on his face.

Because of the troubles, steam engines, railways, generators, etc., Su Cheng and the Ministry of Industry were also quite familiar with him. The Ministry of Industry almost treated Su Cheng as his grandfather.

Cheng Chumo did not know Chen Tong, but it did not prevent him from pretending to be a tiger. He shouted loudly: "Chen Tong! Chen Tong! Come here!"

Chen Tong, who had just walked off the steamboat, shouted and looked at him with some confusion. His eyes suddenly fell on Su Cheng. As for Cheng Chumo and the others had been ignored by him.
