Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Naturally, the big bosses in the army were very excited about this.

Before building such a train, Zhao Ji had already inoculated the generals in terms of words.

He kept telling them how tall the steam train was, how strong its carrying capacity was, what kind of work it could do, etc.

But regarding this, the military generals always had a dubious attitude in their hearts.

After all, for them, just one locomotive can drive more than ten or even dozens of trains made of pure iron.

With such motivation, not only have these generals seen it, but just thinking about it in their hearts, they find it extremely difficult.

However, when Zhao Ji and other generals in the army, accompanied by Shen Kuo, Minister of Industry, and a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry, went to inspect the train testing site, they were still connected by dozens of trains. Startled.

As for the height and width of the train skin, it far exceeded Zhao Ji's expectations.

Prior to this, when Zhao Ji gave Shen Kuo the drawings, the detailed description of this kind of train was also very general.

Because Zhao Ji didn't have much impression on this kind of old-fashioned train.

Therefore, we can only draw an outline for Shen Kuo and others based on the bits and pieces of impressions.

As for the specific dimensions of each component, the length, width, and height of the train carriage, as well as the power details and appearance of the locomotive, etc.

Zhao Ji did not have any description, but today, the answer sheet presented to Zhao Ji and others by a group of people from the Ministry of Industry led by Shen Kuo really exceeded Zhao Ji's expectations.

But he said that the carriages mounted on the back of the locomotive were not only extremely large, but also numbered dozens of carriages.

Moreover, the length and width of each train are almost as large as several bungalows.

This even made Zhao Ji suspect that with such a large number of carriages, it would be difficult for the locomotive to move it no matter how powerful it was.

However, when Shen Kuo and other officials from the Ministry of Industry led Zhao Ji and his generals to take a close look at the locomotive.

Zhao Ji couldn't help but be shocked.

But under the locomotive, there were actually four pairs of wheels.

The front of the train is about as wide as the two locomotives in Zhao Ji's mind.

Both the front and the skin are dark blue.

This is extremely consistent with Zhao Ji's original design language on that drawing.

Shen Kuo and others didn't know whether the designed thing met Zhao Ji's expectations.

Therefore, at the moment, not many have been built, only this train has been built.

As for the railway used for transportation, Shen Kuo and his officials only built more than 900 meters.

In other words, as soon as this train reaches full speed, it will gradually slow down.

Otherwise, it would be easy to rush out from the end of the train, causing a tragedy.

In this regard, although Zhao Ji also felt that the length of the train track was a little short.

But for the current production environment, it is also excellent.

When Zhao Ji and others heard about the various performance indicators of this kind of train from Shen Kuo and his officials, they were quite impressed, but they also wanted to see this thing running on the railway track.

So Zhao Ji told Shen Kuo and others that he wanted to lead his subordinates to enter the carriage and experience the speed and stability of this train.

But such a request really shocked Shen Kuo:

"Officially, this train has just been produced in accordance with the official's requirements. No matter in terms of stability or safety, it has not been tested too much."

"If the officials sit on it and something unexpected happens, then I will be dead."

"So for such testing, Wei Chen and others believe that it is safest to leave it to others."

When Zhao Ji heard what the other party said, he immediately felt that it was very reasonable.

So he asked the civil and military ministers following him to see if any of them dared to get on the bus first to experience it.

But as soon as Zhao Ji finished speaking, a rather rough voice appeared behind Zhong Shidao and others:

"I, Tieniu, am willing to give it a try myself, and I hope the officials will give me permission."

When Zhao Jizhong Shidao and others were looking for fame and left, Li Kui's black man jumped out from behind the crowd.

Full of excitement:

"The things that the brothers from the Ministry of Industry have researched are really novel."

"Such a huge vehicle requires neither horses nor people to pull it. It only uses some water and wood to make the whole vehicle run."

"It's like this, but it's really interesting."

"Although my brothers in the Ministry of Industry have also made tanks and chariots before."

"But the size of that tank is much different than this one."

"I, Tieniu, am really curious."

"I sincerely ask the official brother's permission to let me, Tieniu, sit on it and give it a try."

"Let me, Tieniu, take a look at this thing and see if it is really as magical as the brothers from the Ministry of Industry said."

Zhao Ji saw that Li Kui was so interested in trains, so he didn't say much and just nodded and said:

"Since you, a black man, are also interested in such things, you should be the first to sit on it."

"Be the first to experience it for all of us."

"After confirming that it is safe and stable, others can go up."

Almost everyone present knew Li Kui's character.

Seeing that he insisted on being the first to sit on it, they all gave up their thoughts of trying something new.

They all gave this opportunity to Li Kui.

When Li Kui saw everyone giving him face like this, he couldn't help but bowed excitedly.

Then he acted as if he was afraid that others would snatch him away.

In a few steps, he rushed up to a carriage behind the locomotive.

Since this kind of train was originally designed, the problem of other people riding on it was not taken into consideration.

Therefore, it was impossible to set up any seats inside the dark car.

Some are just straws used to enhance cushioning.

But Li Kui, who has always been rough-tempered, doesn't care about this at all.

What he cared about most at the moment was whether the car could move normally and take him flying.

After Shen Kuo stepped forward and shouted to Li Kui in the carriage, making sure that the other party was seated firmly, he gave the order to the Ministry of Industry official beside him.

Make them ready to drive.

Then, as soon as Zhao Ji gave an order, the huge train not far in front of him started to move slowly.

With the transmission mechanism located between the wheels, it runs faster and faster.

The momentum of this train's progress is becoming more and more fierce.

And what about Li Kui inside the train skin?

Because everything around him was closed, it also prevented him from seeing things outside.

But even so, the frequent shaking of the entire carriage, coupled with the howling of the strong wind above, made him feel that the entire train was already moving.

And the speed is getting faster and faster.

Li Kui was very excited and gradually stood up from the pile of hay on the ground.
