Without Chu Ze's introduction, Zhu Yuanzhang knew just by looking at these carriages, which were about the same size as the front of the car, that their loading capacity was amazing.

And these little grids, huh? Small grid?
The shock on Zhu Yuanzhang's face disappeared instantly and turned into suspicion.

He picked up the model train and looked at it carefully.

No, aren't these cargo compartments? Why are there grids?
Take a closer look - ah, there are two kinds of carriages hanging on this model train, one is empty at the top, like a basket without a lid; the other is the small wooden frame that Zhu Yuanzhang saw behind him, with all sides On the tightly sealed small wooden frame, there are a few small grids on both sides. Through the grids, you can still see inside.

Zhu Yuanzhang moved his eyes closer and found these small grids. He could clearly see what was going on inside.

There are some objects that look like tables and chairs.

It's like a small house.

So, can a train carry all the houses on it?

This question flashed through Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

"Can you open it?" He raised his head and asked Chu Ze.

He wanted to have a clear look inside.

"can."

A good model means that you can clearly see everything inside and outside, right?

Chu Ze had already thought of it.

He took the model and pressed his fingers on the carriage a few times.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao only heard a soft click, and a crack popped up in the roof of the car that was tight just now.

Chu Ze pinched the seam and lifted the top cover.

The line of sight can be seen from the roof of the car, falling into the car unimpeded.

This is not finished.

Chu Ze pressed the car a few more times, and the surrounding car walls also loosened.

The entire carriage instantly turned into a large open hood with ventilation from all sides.

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's amazed gaze, Chu Ze handed the carriage back to him.

In the carriage that was handed back, there were only a few tables and chairs left, and everything else was gone.

Because other accessories are either on the car wall or on the roof.

Want to see?

Then look at the car wall or roof alone.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao each held a part and looked at it very seriously.

"What is this?" Hand Biao was holding the roof of the car, and he pointed to the crossbar on the roof and asked Chu Ze.

Chu Ze glanced at it and replied, "This is a shelf."

"Isn't there a place to store goods here?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, pointing to the cargo compartment.

Chu Ze replied: "This kind of open-top cargo compartment is usually used to transport large objects such as minerals. And these shelves are used to store personal belongings. And here, if you find it troublesome to carry things with you, , you can also check it in and hand it over to the railway operating officials for them to transport it together. Take it with you when you get off the train."

After Chu Ze finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang touched his chin.

"That sounds pretty good," he muttered.

It wasn't loud, but it was enough for them to hear clearly.

Zhu Biao nodded in agreement.

"What about these?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, pointing to other accessories.

Chu Ze answered them one by one.

The more Zhu Yuanzhang listened, the more he fell in love with trains.

According to Chu Ze, at least a hundred or so people can be accommodated in one compartment, and there are cargo compartments that can hold several tons at a time.

Then wouldn’t it be easy for them to send troops to fight or transport food and grass in the future?
In a war, food and grass are the most important thing.

Once it can be guaranteed, they have half the advantage.

Coupled with the continuous delivery of troops and weapons.

"By the way, how fast is it for delivering letters?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again. Chu Ze thought for a while and replied: "It depends on what kind of letter it is. Ordinary letters from home are no problem. If it is more important information, then we still recommend using the previous delivery method. How fast is the steam train? Not as good as a fast horse."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Then, he heard Chu Ze add something unhurriedly.

"Of course, if the train is improved in the future and the speed breaks through, the horse will be far behind."

These words suddenly penetrated Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

He looked up almost instantly.

He stared at Chu Ze with his scorching eyes.

He asked in a tight voice: "Seriously?"

"Of course it is true. Why are we lying to you? Your Majesty, let me tell you that in our time, the speed has reached 250 kilometers per hour. And what is the speed of a horse? It is only more than 70 kilometers. Think about it, a In an hour's time, the train has already left a province, but the horse is still in the province. How much difference is there in the speed?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.

It would be great if they could build a train like this too!

No, it’s not that they can, but they definitely can.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze again, as if looking at a peerless treasure.

Chu Ze felt chills running down his back.

He shrank back subconsciously and asked confusedly: "Why is the emperor looking at us like this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer immediately, he just moved closer to Chu Ze.

Then he lowered his voice and spoke.

"Chu Ze, let me ask you, can you, that is, really build a train that can run more than 200 kilometers?"

Listening to the expectation hidden in Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chu Ze rolled his eyes rudely.

"Your Majesty, do you think we are gods?"

"According to our current level, it is very good to be able to build this. And it is more than 200 kilometers away? Your Majesty, do you know how many years it will take us to build such a fast train in the future?" Chu Ze asked. He raised his two hands, stretched out his index fingers, crossed them to sign a ten, and said, "A whole ten years! That era was better than now. Many raw materials appeared and were used for ten years. Even if we use them directly We can’t find any information about their results, okay?”

I still want to travel more than 200 kilometers, let’s just dream.

There is everything in the dream.

After Chu Ze thought about it, he added: "But if we can really develop to that point, maybe it can be done."

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked by Chu Ze's ten years.

In Chu Ze's words, the future era was beyond his imagination.

Similar to the fairyland in the human mind.

I have never seen it, I just know that it is different from the world I live in.

Things that took ten years to build there could not take a hundred years in his time?

By then, he would have been dead.

Maybe they are all reduced to bones.

Even if it were created, he wouldn't be able to see it.

Just as he was feeling disappointed, Chu Ze gave him another dose of cardiotonic.

Zhu Yuanzhang's little heart, which had not yet reached the bottom, instantly rose into the air.

He quickly answered: "Can we really do that?" He was afraid that if he asked too late, Chu Ze would shake his head.

Chu Ze was not absolutely sure either.

He tilted his head and said, "How about giving it a try?"

Everything in this world is tried and tested.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately shook his head and answered: "Try!"

This is what Chu Ze wants.

His eyebrows suddenly widened, he pinched two fingers and rubbed them towards Zhu Yuanzhang, and asked with a smile: "Then money..." (End of Chapter)
