Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 198

Li Ke was very happy with the birth of the steam engine.

The territory of the Dragon Kingdom is large, and it would take a lot of time to travel the entire Dragon Kingdom with only horses.

Let alone conquer the world.

Therefore, the appearance of this steam engine will lead to the birth of automobiles and trains. At that time, the automobiles and trains manufactured with steam engines as power will be more convenient than horses, even if they are not as fast as horses.

After returning from the Hubu, Li Ke ordered the Hubu to start building railways to important cities in various places with the capital of Longguo as the center.

There is only one requirement for the railway, and that is to be straight enough.

As for the quality, Li Ke is still very confident that Longhui will do a good job.

After drawing the production graphics of the train and railway, the Ministry of Industry immediately began to implement it.

In today's Dragon Kingdom, huge amounts of steel are produced everywhere.

The Ministry of Industry directly ordered that each local government be responsible for the railway construction in their respective regions.

But the overall planning is in charge of the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court!
So, from that day on, many workers began to appear among the important cities in the whole country of Longguo, using steel forged into iron bars to build railways.

This is an official project of the Dragon Kingdom, and the common people participate in it and get paid every day.

If there is money to be made, the people are naturally willing to do it.

It was also on this day that there was a wave of railway construction across the country.

Although most of the common people don't understand why such a road should be built.

Because in their view, the railway is just two relatively thick steel bars connected by some smaller steel bars.

It is not very convenient for people to walk, nor is it very convenient for carriages.What is the use of building such a road?

However, since the imperial court asked them to do it, and since Li Ke ordered it to be done, they were naturally happy.

Just when people all over the country were building railways.

Hubu also made a simple frame with steel according to the drawing drawn by Li Ke.

The hubs of the four wheels are also made of steel.

The side is made of gum!

After all, it is still a bit difficult to make rubber, and it is even more unrealistic to make rubber tires.

After Li Ke saw the frame made of steel, he asked someone to install the steam engine on it, and used the forged steel chain as a belt to connect the gears of the steam engine and the hub of the frame.

In this way, the kinetic energy generated when the steam engine is started will make the wheels turn, and when the wheels turn, it will also drive the four wheels of the frame to turn together.

Thus, a very simple steam engine car is completed!

On the car, there is a place to sit!

Li Ke sat on it, using the steel rim steering wheel to control the steering of the front wheels.

Use the gas valve on the steam engine to control the pressure of the steam, so as to achieve the effect of controlling kinetic energy and vehicle speed.

It was seen that he successfully drove the steam engine car developed outside the workshop of the Ministry of Industry.

This horse-less car stunned Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Cheng Yaojin and his son.

Li Ke was also very excited, after all, this was a steam car made in ancient times.

He didn't even dare to think before that he would make such a technological thing out.

Even if he once possessed literary energy and internal strength, he has never been so happy and excited.

Next, he asked the Ministry of Industry to continue making trains according to the graphics he drew.

The train is relatively simple. It only needs one section of carriages, a control room at the front of the train, and a large steam engine for starting.

In fact, as long as the steam engine is made, the rest will be much simpler.

From then on, Dragon Kingdom will enter the age of steam.

And at this time, Tianzhu Kingdom.

The king is still complacent about the bomb he has.

He originally thought that the Dragon Kingdom would come to attack them after they knew they had obtained the gunpowder from the Dragon Kingdom.

But after waiting for a month or two, there was still no movement from the Dragon Kingdom, which made the King of Tianzhu relax a little.

Although there are some regrets, after all, he is also very confident.

Of course, Long Guo didn't take the initiative to trouble them, and he wouldn't be so stupid as to have a bomb with Long Guo.

But if you don't fight with the Dragon Kingdom, it doesn't mean you won't fight with other countries.

There are still many small countries around. He decided to follow the example of Dragon Fruit and use these bombs to start ruling the small countries around.

Therefore, when the whole country of Longguo was carrying out reforms, the king of Tianzhu took his countless bombs to invade the surrounding areas.

With bombs, it is indeed different.In just one month, many countries in the southwest of Tianzhu Kingdom were taken.

This made the king of Tianzhu very happy.

But he seems to have forgotten a problem. When ruling these countries, the bombs they use are also rapidly consumed.

However, it seems that he was only immersed in the joy of victory in the battle, ignored these, and just continued to expand their sphere of influence blindly, and continued to invade the surrounding countries.

Soon, Tianzhu Kingdom became the overlord of the southwest!
In the whole of Asia, apart from Dragon Kingdom, Tianzhu is the most powerful.

Even Tianzhu has taken all the western countries such as Che Chiguo.

Li Ke of Long Kingdom still didn't care about this.

He devoted himself to the construction of railways and devoted himself to the development of railway construction across the country.

People everywhere are building roads with money from the imperial court.

After more than a month, the railways in some important cities across the country were finally connected.

At the same time, the Ministry of Industry also manufactured several trains according to Li Ke's requirements.

According to Li Ke's request, the train was also equipped with a relatively large steam engine.

When the railway is repaired, so are the trains.

So Li Ke ordered that these trains be installed on that railway.

After the trains were installed on the rails, coal was brought in to light them.

The vehicles are loaded with relatively large steam engines, and they consume a lot of coal, but the heat and power they generate cannot be underestimated.

When the steam engine was running, the people from the Ministry of Industry began to introduce steam into the piston.

Soon, with the movement of the pistons, the wheels of the steam engine turned.

At the same time, it drives the wheels of the train to rotate together.

The carriages, which were ten feet long and divided into six or seven sections, were driven by the locomotive and slowly moved on the railway.

This scene stunned countless people.

But Li Ke smiled and said a word:

"From today onwards, the blood vessels of the Dragon Kingdom are the real circulating blood."

His words were obviously used to describe the railway and the train.

Long Guo is a person, the railway is the blood vessel, and the train is the blood in the blood vessel.

Once the train is running, people from all over the country can take the train to where they want to go.

It will never be the same again, where everyone just lives where they are.

At the same time, this train will also bring the military of Dragon Kingdom to a new level.

In the past, dispatching troops and generals was a very troublesome matter, especially since the territory of the Dragon Kingdom was too vast, so dispatching troops and horses was very time-consuming and manpower-consuming.

But now that the railway has been built, as long as there are enough trains, these soldiers can sit on the train and watch the scenery along the way.

In a few days, you can go from the east of Dragon Kingdom to the west of Dragon Kingdom.

And what is consumed is only coal, which is too much in the Dragon Kingdom.

After the success of the train, Li Ke ordered the Ministry of Industry to make a large number of them and use them.

It was at this time that Li Ke received a request for help from the king of the daughter country.

It turned out that Tianzhu had already planned to take action against Daughter Country!
