Chapter 307 The monster is coming

In June, Luoyang City is full of hot summer. The sound is endless, and the swallows play on the lakeside.

The breeze is blowing, and there is a trace of coolness. Countless people walked out of their homes, sat under the willow trees by the river, and chatted with fans.

"Go and have a look! Look at it! The monster is coming! The monster is coming!"

"Monster!"

"Ah! There are really monsters!"

Countless people got up and looked at it. Sure enough, a huge thing on the two paved rails came to them with smoke. There are three big words 'Harmony' written on both sides.

Guardrails are installed on both sides of these two rails to prevent people from walking around at will. At the beginning, people were very confused about this. After all, it is the best steel! Unexpectedly, it was spread on the ground, and countless people were scolding Liu Xia in private.

Some people even went to steal the laid rails, but fortunately, soldiers guarded them all the way, and those who wanted to steal the rails were caught. Subsequently, the county magistrate of Luoyang City issued a ban, prohibiting anyone from approaching the train lane and anyone from stealing the rails, otherwise everything will be dealt with in public.

Although no one in the people knows what the rails are for, no one dares to steal steel after that. The blacksmiths who struck the iron looked at the steel on the ground, and the heart was dripping blood.

This rail began to be built from Luoyang Dongcheng. The 500-meter rail connecting the Institute of Science and Technology extends to Yanshi City not far away, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. After all, at this time, the construction of all kinds of things still depends on manpower, and large-scale machinery has not yet appeared.

After three or four months of construction, the railway lane from Luoyang City to Yanshi City has finally been completed, which also indicates the birth of the world's first intercity railway.

Today is the day for the Institute of Science and Technology to debug the train. If the train is debugged, Liu Xia will be invited to lead the officials to take the train tour.

A locomotive is installed at both ends of the train, with six carriages in the middle, but most of them are empty. Except for the staff in the Science and Technology Park, there is no one else.

"Look! Look! There is someone in this thing!"

"Someone? It can't be eaten by this monster! Let's go and save them!"

"Idiot! Didn't you see this car? What a monster! There is no winp at all." A craftsman touched his beard and looked at the coming train, with a slight understanding in his heart.

"It's really amazing. It's amazing that such a car can run without cows and horses. No wonder the government has been spreading steel on the ground for the past few months. That's why. The craftsman couldn't help exclaiming.

"It's really loud, but it's a little slower."

At this time, the train is still in initial commissioning, and the speed is naturally not high. According to the record, the maximum speed of the steam engine train can reach 160 km/h. At this moment, the speed of the train is not as fast as that of the carriage. No wonder the people say so.

For a moment, the train was getting faster and faster, and soon it flew through people's eyes with a 'swd' sound.

Chinese people like to be festive, like to be lively, and prefer new things. As soon as the train came out, countless people came out of the city to see the bustle.

"Look, the government's notice!" I don't know who shouted and looked at the wall one after another. There was a new piece of paper, which was full of words.

"Side to me what is written on it. I can't read it." Zhang San was stupid and fat and illiterate. He shook his head like a rattle, and finally kept urging others to read it to him. Li Si was so short that he couldn't see the words on the wall, so he tiptoed up. And the white-headed old man, holding a crutch, looked carefully. The scholar in green shook his folding fan and shook his head and said, "The governor of Luoyang Mansion issued an article to appease the people of Luoyang. Don't worry. What the people see is the 'train', and the prince himself named it 'Harmony'. This train does not rely on cattle, horses and mules. It can burn coal and start by itself. Convenient and fast. It is developed by the Institute of Science and Technology. People, don't be impatient."

"Train! This is called a train!"

"It's really strange that you can walk around without cows and horses. Are the people in the Academy of Science and Technology all immortals who come down to earth and Luban is reincarnated?

"Who said no? It's a strange thing."

"Drive, drive!"

"Exerc, get out of the way!" At this time, I saw three big men on horseback rushing, and countless people dodged in a hurry and cursed endlessly.

"My friends, I'm here to compensate! The three younger brothers just want to see whether our BMW runs fast, or the train of the Institute of Science and Technology runs fast! Let's get out of the way. We're going to compete with him. Let them see, it won't work without Mara!"

After all, the train is a new thing, and the people don't know much about it. Naturally, they are more inclined to horses.

"No need to say, the horse must run fast. Is that necessary?"

"Otherwise, from a young student's perspective, maybe the train runs faster than a horse and doesn't need manpower. Don't worry about being tired and hungry.

"What a mess. How can a horse run fast? Nonsense!"

The three people continued to chase the train, and other people who had horses in their homes also went home to chase them, but after a while, there were more than 50 horsemen chasing the train.

In the train

Luo Chengxian guided the train drivers in the cab.

I only heard an academician next to him pointing outside and exclaimed to Luo Chengxian, "Dean, look! A lot of people outside are chasing me on horseback!"

Luo Chengxian looked along and saw hundreds of horses galloping, and more than 20 horses had even surpassed the train, leading by one horse.

Luo Chengxian smiled, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's interesting. Since they are willing to compete with my train, let's have a competition and let the people see the power of our train.

"Accelerate forward!" Luo Chengxian gave an order, and the speed of the train slowly began to get faster and faster.

"Look! The train is speeding up, drive!" Those riders also began to accelerate, but after all, the horses were flesh and blood, and these horses were still ordinary horses, not strong war horses, so they were a little tired after running for dozens of minutes. When the horses were tired, the train was still accelerating, getting faster and faster. He soon left a lot of horses behind.

The train rode away.

"Oh, my God, I'm exhausted. The body is bumpy and sore. This train is fucking monster. A man riding a horse stopped and looked at the smaller and smaller train in the distance, gasping and patting his back.

"It seems that this train is a good thing. I'm really looking forward to sitting there and trying it."

"Bright, isn't your distant cousin working in the government? Can you ask him to take us on the train?

"Alas, don't mention it, he is just a minor official. Where can he control this train? Besides, the Institute of Science and Technology is not an ordinary place.

"..."

The matter of the train soon became a matter of gossip after dinner for the whole people in Luoyang City. Detailed descriptions of trains can be heard in countless streets and yards.

And the front page of all the newspapers is on the news of the train.

When the train traveled from Luoyang City to the railway station outside Yanshi City, the people of Yanshi City were like the people in Luoyang. They looked at this strange monster in horror, and there were different opinions.

However, the county magistrate of Yanshicheng also posted a notice to inform the people of the specific details.

When the train successfully arrived at Yanshicheng Railway Station, Luo Chengxian finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Finally, I'm relieved. Everything is normal and the experiment is successful. Pass it on, take a rest for a while, and we will return to Luoyang. Check the safety of this train again.

After Luo Chengxian arranged it, everyone got off the train and rested for a while.

Today, Luo Chengxian was happy, so he held a 'press conference' at the gate of the railway station to explain the details of the train to the local people, among which he constantly praised Liu Xia.

"Without the guidance and advice of the prince, where would such a magical train be born?" The enthusiasm of the people of Yanshi exceeded Luo Chengxian's expectations, so that they almost couldn't get out and return in the end.
