Chapter 555 The Birth of the Train
When the imperial court was discussing the attack on Goguryeo, an earth-shattering event happened in Xincheng!

This matter did not have much reaction to others, but to the entire research institute, to Ding Yi, it was ecstatic...

No... I'm already crazy with joy!

It took nearly two years, with a total of more than 30 participants and a cost of more than [-] yuan. The best craftsmen in the new town and a group of elite talents from the college were invested!
The steam train finally made it! ! !
The docking of the steam engine and the locomotive has been going on for more than May. After nearly half a year of experimentation, this project has finally succeeded!

On this day, Li Tai knelt down and cried bitterly, and all the participants embraced and cried!

And Ding Yi just stood on the periphery and watched them wantonly pouring out their long-suppressed emotions!
Two years!

In two years, a steam train has been researched, thanks to various materials provided by Ding Yi and the full support of Junfeng Group!
They have waited too long for this day!
Fortunately, hard work paid off, and they finally succeeded!

This day, Ding Yi didn't manage any trains.Let Hua Niang bring a few of her proud disciples to cook for this group of people!
In the evening, in front of the workshop of the research institute, all the people who participated in this project gathered together and held a celebration banquet!
Ding Yi stood on the table with a wine glass in his hand, and shouted loudly with a trumpet in his hand: "Brothers! Everyone be quiet for a while!"

Hearing Lord Hou's voice, the carnival crowd finally quieted down, looking at the person on the table expectantly!
Ding Yi raised his wine glass high and said forcefully, "You... are the best! Datang will be changed because of your success! You have rewritten history! I toast everyone!"

At this time, Ding Yi no longer needs to call himself 'Benhou'!

Li Tai picked up the wine glass without humility, and he set an example for these craftsmen and students again, so as not to let them restrain themselves!
During these nearly two years, they stayed together every day, and they were already familiar with each other regardless of each other!In front of this group of people, Li Tai has long forgotten his identity as a prince. Here he is just an ordinary project leader and main researcher!

This group of craftsmen can be regarded as the group of people who have seen Ding the most times among all the workers in Xincheng, and they are also the most familiar group of people!

Because the research institute is the place where Ding Yi comes most frequently, they have already been familiar with the temper of this Lord Hou!
Everyone toasted together and shouted after Li Tai: "To Tang, to us!"

The loud and clear voice spread far away, causing the students of the neighboring college to get up curiously and look at the research institute!
"Originally, I thought that the birth of the train would be next year at the earliest! But your hard work tells me that there is no problem that can overcome us!" Ding Yi hissed, paused and said: "Benhou said that the research institute As long as there is a new thing, the Marquis will give bonuses to the participants! And you have done it!"

"All participating personnel, whether artisans or students, have a bonus of fifty copper coins! Don't refuse, you deserve it! This lord will not be dragged down by this bonus!"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the fifty-peat bonus. This is the highest bonus since the establishment of the institute.But this time there were a lot of people, more than 1000 people!

At first, everyone was embarrassed to ask for it, but without Lord Hou, they would still be mud-legged, either working hard in the fields or sweating in small workshops.

But they also know that Lord Hou has always said one thing and one thing, and he will give it when he says it, and never give anyone a chance to refuse!And when it comes to this, it is not appropriate to refuse!
So, more than 1000 people cheered loudly: Wait for Shiping, wait for Shiping!
It's just a matter of shouting Long Live!Fortunately, this sentence is not yet popular!

The celebration continued until very late, and everyone was very drunk. If it weren't for this being a research institute, there would definitely be something missing tomorrow!
……

On the second day of the celebration, Ding Yi sent the news back to Chang'an, because he knew that even if he didn't tell, Li Er would know, so why not tell him first!

When Li Er got the news, he was also excited all day long, and even his enthusiasm for attacking Goguryeo was extinguished by half!
Few of the officials in the court understood the meaning of this, because they only knew that Shi Pinghou had been building a cart that didn't use human and animal power, and could pull tens of thousands of catties of goods.

But no one has seen this kind of thing before, so they don't understand Li Er's excitement!

I also don't understand the excitement over there in Xincheng!

The train is built, but everyone needs to see the real thing, so that everyone can be convinced!

Therefore, Li Er decreed that the unveiling ceremony of the train will be held in Chang'an half a month later!

The construction of the track between Chang'an and Xincheng started a few months ago, and it has already been completed.

Ding Yi believes that this train can be built, but he is not sure how long it will take, but it will not delay his preparation of the rails in advance!

The current road construction plan of the imperial court is also to build cement roads while detecting the laying route of the railway tracks in advance.

Outside Chang'an City, there is a small station covering an area of ​​[-] mu, which is relatively simple.This is only the initial version. In order to show the train to the world as soon as possible, the four great families have the confidence to spend money to build the station.

Now that the train is built, with the laying of the rails step by step, I believe that the stations in Xincheng and Chang'an will be built bigger and bigger and more magnificent!

All officials from the court and central government will participate in this ceremony, and it will also be published in the newspaper, so that the people in Jingzhao Mansion who have time can also come to see the magic of the train!

Invitations to the three Patriarchs of the Zheng family, the Cui family of Boling, and the Li family of Zhaojun have also been sent. I hope they can arrive on the day of the ceremony.

As for Cheng Yaojin, Li Ke, Cheng Chumo, and Wang Ziyu who are far away from other places, I can only hope that they will watch it after they come back!

For more than ten days before the ceremony, people in Xincheng, Chang'an, and several surrounding counties were stunned. Is a steam train worth making such a big fuss?
Is this steam train really as powerful as the newspapers say?

Why is everyone so excited?People can't help but get excited!

But the things that Shi Pinghou participated in must not be easy, this is already recognized by the people of Tang Dynasty as the most reasonable!
And in a private mansion in Xincheng, Liu Qingqing sat in the room with a sad face, hesitating for a long time not knowing how to write this information!
In the past six months, at most, she went to the textile factory. She knew where the gate of the research institute was, but she couldn't get in at all!
Not to mention what the hell this steam train is!
Why is Yindi Ding Yi so excited that he hasn't even come to flirt with him for several days!
This is not like his style at all!

And she was also very curious, why there was no news from there in the past six months?
