Chapter 300 Railway Planning

Papa

There was a burst of applause at the scene, and Liu Xia also looked very happy.

Seeing that Liu Xia was happy, Luo Chengxian was even happier.

Seeing that Luo Chengxian was happy, the academicians in the Academy of Science and Technology were also happy.

Then the whole science and technology institute was full of joy, just like the Spring Festival. In order to celebrate the success of the test drive, Luo Chengxian even bought a big firecracker. With Liu Xia's consent, Luo Chengxian was ignited. Suddenly, it crackled through the world.

After the firecrackers sounded, there was a red cannon skin on the ground, as if it were covered with a fluffy red carpet.

The successful test drive made Liu Xia very happy, so he praised Luo Chengxian. After that, Liu Xia asked several people who drove the train to meet. This is the first person in the world to drive a train, which is of great significance. Although they are not comparable to the first person to land on the moon in space, these people also witnessed the birth and start of the train.

"The villain saw the prince!"

The four people knelt to the ground and bowed three times to Liu Xia respectfully.

Liu Xia was happy today and quickly helped the four of them up, and immediately moved them.

"The prince actually helped me by himself, and the prince helped me by himself!" The soldier who was helped up was so excited that he couldn't wait to cut off these two arms and save them.

Liu Xia smiled, glanced at the four people, and said with a smile, "You don't have to be nervous. Your driving skills are very good. In the future, this train is likely to become an important means of transportation for our great country in China. Good drivers are naturally needed. I hope you can sum up your experience, teach more people the ability to drive the train, and do your part for our China.

"Yes, yes, the villain will, definitely." The four of them didn't understand what Liu Xia was saying. They were stunned for a few seconds before they woke up under Luo Chengxian's eyes and then spoke.

"What do you think of the train?" Liu Xia asked these four people with a smile.

Only one of them said, "I'm really dissatisfied with the prince. I've never seen a car that can move by myself when I grow up. This thing doesn't need a cow or a horse. There is no need for people to pull it. You only need to burn a few kilograms of coal, and it will automatically run away. It's amazing."

Another person continued, "Sitting in that car is very smooth on the road, more comfortable than sitting in that carriage, not bumpy at all. It's smooth and comfortable."

"I think it's good that the train is good, but the space is too small and a little uncomfortable."

Liu Xia smiled and said, "That's the locomotive, and the natural space is a little smaller. If you let people sit in the future, they will naturally not sit in the locomotive, but increase the number of carriages to make people sit comfortably in the carriage.

Then Liu Xia talked to the four people for a while and explained her requirements. So I let the four of them go down to rest.

Then after everyone looked at the train for a quarter of an hour, Liu Xia led Luo Chengxian and some officials to the conference hall of the Institute of Science and Technology. Everyone sat in turn, because the officials and academicians present by Liu Xia seemed to be a little restrained.

Liu Xia tried her best to show herself gently and said with a smile, "Everyone doesn't have to be so restrained. I'm not a tiger, am I? Relax, relax."

When Liu Xia said this, she immediately burst out laughing. The atmosphere of the venue suddenly seemed to be relaxed.

Liu Xia also laughed twice. After a while, Liu Xia waved her hand, coughed dryly, and said, "Please be quiet."

In an instant, the venue was quiet.

Although Liu Xia looks kind and smiling now. But which of these people doesn't know what kind of person Liu Xia is? Who dares to face Liu Xia?

Liu Xia turned to Luo Chengxian and said, "Cong Xian, you have contributed to this matter, and I will not forget it. Today, I also saw the train. It's really good and meets my requirements, but now it needs further testing. Now there is only one locomotive. Next, you need to add some carriages. The carriages don't have to be too big at the beginning. It can seat 40 or 50 people. Get five or six carriages first, and install a locomotive at both ends of the carriage, one going forward and the other returning. And extend the railway track. At present, the train track is extended to the South Gate of Luoyang, and a railway station is built at the South Gate. Build ten kilometers long first.

Luo Chengxian was naturally happy, but he still frowned and said, "Your Majesty, it's okay to build a train track, but - but - but - our Institute of Science and Technology does not have so much money to buy steel rails at present!"

When Liu Xia heard the words, she raised her eyebrows and thought it was something. Isn't it money? Liu Xia doesn't have much now, just a lot of money. So he said, "If you lack any money, go to the Finance Department to get it. I still have this little money."

"After you have done the experiment, you will extend the railway track to Yanshi City in the east, and a railway station will also be built in Yanshi City. At that time, I will let all the officials board the train and see the scenery along the way.

Liu Xia's words immediately raised Luo Chengxian's ambition. His excited face turned red, and his whole body seemed to be full of energy. He swore in front of Liu Xia, "I will definitely complete the task successfully!" Never live up to the prince's trust in his subordinates!"

In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Xia left the Institute of Science and Technology and came to the nearby military factory. In the military factory, Liu Xia looked at some muskets developed by the personnel of those military factories. Although they had been improved, there was no substantial breakthrough.

The musket is still a fl like-fire gun, and the musket is not ready now. After all, the flult gun is still sent by igniting the line of fire, which has great drawbacks. Compared with the firing gun, it directly hit the thunder mercury to make it explode and ignite the gunpowder in the bullet. The power of the firing gun is not comparable to that of a flint.

However, Liu Xia can't be anxious. The level of the craftsmen is like this at this moment. Liu Xia herself does not know how Lei Mercury is made. It can only be explored step by step by step by craftsmen.

After returning to Luoyang, Liu Xia immediately established the Pingbei Military Railway Corporation, which was responsible for the construction of railways and the operation of railways. In the first stage, Liu Xia did not intend to be directly put into commercial use, but to transport troops and materials. At the same time, it also indirectly helps those merchants to make money by delivering goods. At the same time, a business car was opened up to seat the merchants who came and went. But this price is naturally not expensive.

The second stage is to build a large number of trains, put them on the train tracks, and start to attract people. In this way, people can make money at the same time.

At present, the head manager of the head office is asked Luo Chengxian to serve, and then asked Luo Chengxian to send a letter of appointment, according to Liu Xia's plan. First, build a railway from Luoyang to Hu'ao. In the first stage, it will be built to Yanshi. Once the test is successful, it will continue to extend to Hu'ao Pass. In the future, it will be much more convenient to transport troops.

The second railway is from Luoyang to Xi'an, and the first step is to Tongguan. After that, it was slowly built. Liu Xia took out a map of China and twisted four train lines on it, in a rice-shaped shape. This is Liu Xia's railway plan in the future.

After thinking about everything, Liu Xia lay comfortably on the chair. Rubbed his head.

At this moment, it's already dark, and Liu Xia has been tired all day. He stood up, turned his head, and suddenly crackled.

"Come on! Go to Fengqi Pavilion."

"Drive Fengqi Pavilion!" A guard shouted.

Last time because of something, Liu Xia hurriedly left Fengqi Pavilion. Although she stripped Da Yuer's clothes, she did not enjoy them. Today, Liu Xia happened to have time, so she thought of the big Yuer again.

Da Yuer hasn't had a good rest these days, and her face is slightly thin. The main reason is that she learned the news of the defeat of the Qing army. Since Liu Xia appeared, she seems to have become a person who specializes in restraining the Qing army. Every time it was a great defeat of the Qing army. Although the original invincible iron horse can't be said to be like tofu in front of Liu Xia, it is not too strong.

Da Yuer is now thinking about the future of her Qing Dynasty. She doesn't know that her only son, the little emperor Fulin, has been dead in the palace for a long time because he misses her.

"Your Majesty, how are you now? I heard that Dorcon held a big wedding for you and married two imperial concubines. Alas, God bless me in the Qing Dynasty. May my world be healthy in the Qing Dynasty, and my emperor will become a wise king.
