Super God: Rise of Civilization

Chapter 9 [Steam Train]

Although the death of Zhennan Wang Yanglin shocked the world, it did not affect the development and planning of the Star Empire.

Under the vigorous research and development of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, industrial machine tools finally appeared in this world.

With the emergence of industrial machine tools, the Star Empire's spare parts in many places have also gained faster efficiency, resulting in the development of the Star Empire, which is getting faster and faster day by day.

The ninth year of the Star Era.

With unremitting efforts, the steam locomotive finally appeared.

Yang Yu led dozens of ministers and looked at the steel monster in front of him, surrounded by people who were watching.

"Your Majesty, this is the steam locomotive developed by the Imperial Academy of Engineering through years of unremitting efforts."

"After the improvement of the minister and others, the steam locomotive can travel a hundred miles in one hour."

The dean of the Academy of Engineering said proudly.

Their Imperial Academy of Engineering lived up to expectations and developed something epoch-making.

"Half an hour, Baili?" Hearing this, the Minister of Finance looked at him suspiciously.

"That's right, it can travel hundreds of miles in half an hour, and the steam locomotive won't stop like an animal."

"That is to say, now we go to Donghuang, and it only takes four or five days to arrive."

The Prime Minister is also a little bit unconvinced.

It means a lot if you don't have to be as tired as an animal.

"Not at the moment."

The dean of the Engineering Academy shook his head.

"Why?" asked the Chancellor, puzzled.

"Tracks need to be laid to allow steam locomotives to go where they can go. Without rails, steam locomotives can't go anywhere."

The director of the Imperial Academy of Engineering pointed to the left and right rails under the steam locomotive, and explained: "At present, we have only laid the rails up to Yanque Pass, and the manpower and material resources spent are extremely huge."

"The imperial capital is about [-] miles away from Yanque Pass. If you can ensure that the old man arrives at Yanque Pass within two hours, then the old man will grant you funds to lay this railway track."

The Minister of Finance pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and said.

He has thought of a lot in an instant.

If it is possible to quickly travel back and forth between the two places as the old guy said, it will definitely bring huge economic effects to the empire.

He has already realized the essence of what His Majesty said, if you want to get rich, build roads first.

In recent years, his Ministry of Finance has poured money on a large scale to build cement roads.

The Ministry of Finance has more and more money, the income of the empire is also increasing rapidly, and the living standards of the people have also been greatly improved due to road construction.

Therefore, it can bring income to the empire and bring a better living environment to the people of the empire.

He absolutely agrees.

This steam locomotive has a bright future.

"That's what you said, don't go back on your word." The dean of the Imperial Academy of Engineering stared at him.

"The old man spit and nailed it. How can he go back on what he said? Besides, His Majesty, the Prime Minister, and the Minister of Justice are all here. How dare the old man break his promise?"

said the chancellor.

"Aiqing, if this is true, I'm afraid Aiqing will have to feel sorry for the money spent by the treasury."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old minister will never dare to break his promise. Moreover, this is a major event that benefits the country and the people. Even if the old minister has a hundred guts, he will not dare to delay the development of the empire."

"Then I can rest assured." Seeing the situation of the Minister of Finance, Yang Yu nodded with a satisfied smile.

"Ai Qing, since your Imperial Academy of Engineering has produced such an epoch-making thing, then I must set an example for the people of the empire. I haven't been to Yanque Pass for many years, so I just took this steam locomotive and went to Yanque Pass to have a look. "

Yang Yu said with a smile.

"How can His Majesty take risks? Or let the old minister take His Majesty's place..."

All the ministers were taken aback. We still don't know how stable this thing is. How can we let the emperor take risks?
"No, I trust the Imperial Academy of Engineering."

Yang Yu waved his hand to stop the advice of the ministers, and naturally chose to get on the steam locomotive.

And many guards of the Imperial Forest Army nearby hurriedly followed onto the six-carriage steam locomotive.

All the ministers saw that the emperor went up in person, and they didn't hesitate too much.

Let them write and witness the history of the empire.

Entering the relatively small compartment, Yang Yu was not surprised, the space was spacious enough.

"Your Majesty, the carriages designed by our Imperial Academy of Engineering are used to transport people, so there are seats. Each carriage is about 15 meters long, 2.8 meters high, and 2.8 meters wide."

"For an 80cm aisle, there are two seats on both sides of the aisle, and each seat occupies 50cm."

"The distance between the front seat and the rear seat is 50 centimeters, and we set up 100 seats in one carriage."

Naturally, the dean of the Imperial Academy of Engineering also boarded the steam locomotive, followed by Yang Yu's side, and explained to him.

"Six carriages, which means that 600 people can be transported at one time?"

"almost."

"Then can we add more carriages?" The Minister of Finance frowned and asked.

"As long as the steam locomotive has that power, it can be increased. If we are transporting troops, we can remove these seats. It should not be a problem to pull 200 people in one carriage." The dean of the Imperial Academy of Engineering nodded.

"Is it okay to deliver supplies?" This is what the Prime Minister is most concerned about.

"nature."

"Are you sure that there is no problem with the connection of your carriage? Will it fall off due to excessive speed or for some reason?"

Yang Yu raised his eyebrows, safety is the most important thing.

"Your Majesty can rest assured that the connection of the carriages is very stable. It was designed by an engineer in our engineering institute who is in charge of this technology."

"The connection method is also very simple, as if our two hands are clasped together, which not only plays a connection role, but also plays a buffer role." The dean of the Engineering Institute said confidently.

Hearing this, Yang Yu nodded in satisfaction. He seems to have seen this kind of thing on the Internet. It has been used for more than 100 years and has not been eliminated so far.

Unexpectedly, his empire is really full of talents.

Actually developed this thing.

soon.

There was a huge roar from this steam locomotive.

"Boom, boom, boom."

A rhythmic sound sounded.

The steam train moved.

All the ministers seem to have seen something amazing, looking at the scenery starting to recede outside the window, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Feeling the wind blowing from the window, Yang Yu said to the dean of the Engineering Academy next to him: "This thing still needs to be improved. If the speed is increased in the future, will something happen?"

"If it's a severe cold season and the cold wind blows in from outside, will it have any impact on the people riding the steam locomotive?"

The dean of the Academy of Engineering listened carefully to His Majesty's narration, and did not interrupt, but took out a small notebook and began to record it beside him.

"The speed of this steam locomotive is not bad, and it is also more stable than a horse-drawn carriage."

"Hmm, this is really a good thing for the benefit of the people of the empire. With this steam locomotive, the empire wants to go somewhere, that is, a few days or ten days?"

"Yes, this old thing has finally done a great thing that benefits the country and the people!"
