Chapter 298 Railway Locomotive

how do you see... how do you see...

Liu Xinyu's words kept reverberating in the minds of everyone in the Danyang Kingdom, like the voice of a demon, urging the soul.

Liu Xinyu's last words were not in a tone of discussion. It's a "question". This is more like an 'ultimatum'! It is very tough and domineering, and there is no room for the kingdom of Danyang to choose!

Either accept it, or... the rest of our five countries complete the internal purification!

Before Song Qiming could speak, the princes of the other countries said one after another: We agree with Her Majesty's proposal.

Finally, everyone stopped, turned their heads to look at Song Qiming silently, and waited for Song Qiming to speak together. But Song Qiming was trembling with 'excitement'.

The prime minister next to him, Wang Fei, finally expressed helplessly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and all your Highnesses for your concern. But this matter... I can't make the decision. Please allow me to report to the Emperor before replying."

Liu Xinyu nodded generously: "I'm sorry to embarrass you. I just don't want to see my former comrades-in-arms suffer.

We also understand the situation in your country. How about this, for the sake of being the same as the six western countries, I call the shots and donate 300,000 Peiyuan Pills and 50,000 Jiji Pills to your country for free. I hope your country can restore prosperity as soon as possible! "

"Ah..." Everyone was stunned by Liu Xinyu's sudden generosity. Your Majesty, what are you playing again? Our darlings can't stand it~

But Song Qiming, the crown prince of Danyang Kingdom, and Wang Fei, the prime minister, stared at Liu Xinyu in a daze, feeling a little silly for a moment.

Liu Xinyu smiled faintly, waved to the side, and someone immediately brought in 15 boxes

50,000 Foundation Establishment Pills equals one ton of weight. Including packaging and so on, there are five large boxes in total.

The 300,000 Peiyuan Pill weighs about three tons. Compared with Zhuji Pill, the packaging of Peiyuan Pill is simpler, but 300,000 pills are still stuffed into ten boxes.

Fifteen boxes are placed in front of everyone, which is still very shocking. Although everyone is a prince, it is the first time I have seen so many pills given away by opening their mouths—these pills are enough to meet the needs of an army of 100,000 for half a month.

"This... this..." Song Qiming looked at the box in front of him, feeling at a loss for a while.

Liu Xinyu smiled faintly and watched quietly, without saying a word. But there was an indescribable arrogance exuding from her body. She is already a queen, the first queen ever in the west of the Fertile Continent!

Finally, Wang Fei stood up and thanked him.

Liu Xinyu nodded, stood up slowly, and walked out while talking: "That's all for today. As for the Danyang Kingdom, I will give you ten days. If you have any difficulties, please feel free to ask me to wait for the Five Kingdoms Make a request, and we will try our best to protect the country of Danyang!"

"My Kingdom of Yanyun supports His Majesty's decision!"

"So are we!"

"So are we……"

Everyone expressed their support one after another, only the representatives of the kingdom of Danyang looked unhappy. After Liu Xinyu finished speaking, he also left and went to the study next door. Hu Yinglan came in and invited everyone to leave.

After everyone left, Prime Minister Zhao Duo finally came behind Liu Xinyu and said, "Your Majesty, we have not discussed before that we will give the Danyang Kingdom a pill. Will this..."

Liu Xinyu waved his hand, preventing Zhao Duo from continuing to speak: "I have my own considerations. You can go to work."

After everyone left, Liu Xinyu slowly opened her 'diary' and wrote down what happened today. There are many reasons why he suddenly wanted to give pills to the country of Danyang:

First of all, if the Qixia Kingdom wants to counterattack and become the "captain" of the six western countries, it must show its due mind and means, and properly distribute its wealth.

Also, the Kingdom of Qixia said it would support the Kingdom of Danyang, but how to support it? There is no basis for saying something, so Liu Xinyu needs to express something.

Thirdly, Liu Xinyu also used this method to tell everyone: I am serious about what I said before. I really want to develop the six western countries and unite everyone.

There is also the fourth point, fishing; it is expected that you must give it first, this is one of the most common and effective methods in politics; and this will also pave the way for Liu Xinyu to directly intervene in the internal affairs of the Danyang Kingdom in the future, and even send troops , leaving a foreshadowing. In the future, if troops are really sent out, it will not be too abrupt.

Also, Liu Xinyu concluded that these elixirs would intensify the conflicts and struggles within the Danyang Kingdom and accelerate the strife within the Danyang Kingdom. Moreover, these elixirs don't seem to be very expensive for the current Qixia country.

In the end, there is still a little girl's mind! Your think tanks are so good at calculating, but I just want to personalize it!

But on the whole, Liu Xinyu's gift this time was not on a whim, but after careful consideration. It's a cannonball, but sugar-coated.

Liu Xinyu admired her diary and closed it with a smile. But in the next moment, he frowned slightly. Although she is an empress, she is also a girl, and in her spare time, she has a bit of daydreaming that a girl should have...

…………

Zhang Hao didn't care about Liu Xinyu's affairs anymore. Now Zhang Hao is planning to bring all the distinguished guests from the East to visit Zhang's shipbuilding base according to the plan.

Zhang Hao waited for a day, and the representatives of 32 commercial firms arrived early the next morning.

Not only that, but some rangers who came with the boat also came. Everyone is very excited.

But Zhang Hao stood in front of the Zhang family compound, but frowned slightly: "Everyone, I should have made it very clear before that I invited representatives of all commercial firms to visit. Each commercial firm has a maximum of three people, and they must be core personnel of the commercial firm.

Rangers and others, as well as the rest of the people, can only ask everyone to wait here.

It concerns the secrets of the Zhang family, and even the entire Qixia Kingdom, please forgive me for any inconvenience. "

Some people understand Zhang Hao's words, but others are dissatisfied. For example, Leng Feng, a ranger, quarreled loudly: "Master Zhang, we rushed back overnight because you said you would open the tour. Now you say you can't visit. You are playing us!"

As a ranger, most of the people speak directly, which is very impolite. This is completely different from the businessman's tactful gesture.

Zhang Hao looked at the cold wind, looked at many noisy rangers around, and smiled, "I don't need you to remind me what I said. Besides, this is my home. It seems that there is no need to discuss with you who I want to visit! "

Zhang Hao knew very well that he couldn't be polite to these guys! Besides, what are your thoughts on such an eager visit!

"You tricked us!"

"Get out!" Zhang Hao suddenly snorted angrily, "Three counts, or die if you don't leave!"

As Zhang Hao said, he slowly raised three fingers; the guards around Zhang's house suddenly became serious. This Leng Feng is a master of Nascent Soul Stage, but Daoist Master Mingxu is in the Zhang family. Dugu Junjie's 'guard', Chen Yansong, is also here.

If I really think Zhang Hao is easy to talk, it means that I am easy to bully! Just when you jumped out, I'll beat you to death!

Leng Feng opened his mouth, finally left behind a scene, and left in despair.

Zhang Hao turned his head and showed a bright smile to everyone: "Let's go, we are ready!"

Representatives of 32 commercial firms, a total of more than 80 people followed Zhang Hao to the shipbuilding base in the rear.

The shipbuilding base is temporarily less than two kilometers away from the port, and is protected by a barrier. This enchantment was recently arranged by Zhang Hao, who troubled his master, Daoist Mingxu.

Daoist Master Mingxu may not be as good as Liu Dingshan in cultivation, but he is far superior to Liu Dingshan in terms of formation skills. The masters of the Holy Land, after all, have some level. Looking from the outside, the enchantment is in chaos, and nothing can be seen clearly.

Zhang Hao and others approached, Feng Zhiling appeared, he opened a door and invited everyone to enter.

As soon as everyone entered the shipbuilding base, they were shocked by the clanging sound.

For example, Leng Qingsong, the young master of Qixing Commercial Bank, looked at the scene in front of him, and was a little dazed.

He saw that there was a huge underground space in front of him, and the sea water blocked by the seal in the distance was still rolling. And in this underground space, a huge steel support has begun to take shape.

Unlike the construction of wooden ships, the construction of steel warships is to lay the keel and main ribs first, and then start to install steel plates after confirming that there are no problems.

At this time, the craftsmen are riveting. The red-hot steel rivets the thickness of an arm were smashed flat by the craftsmen with a sledgehammer, and the joints of the keel and ribs were completed. Sparks were flying, and the voice of shouting was powerful and powerful.

At this time, important items such as machine tools have been withdrawn from the shipbuilding base, but there are still driving vehicles left.

The I-beams that have been drilled one by one are hoisted to the required position with the assistance of the crane. Now, the length of the I-beam can reach 9 meters, especially the I-beam as the central keel, which has a width of more than 80 centimeters and a thickness of 22 centimeters. A piece of I-beam can weigh more than 30 tons.

These bulky pieces of steel were neatly riveted together by the craftsmen.

The steel skeleton being laid is more than 160 meters long and 27 meters wide; with the experience of the last steel battleship, the craftsmen have made new breakthroughs.

In the shipbuilding base, thousands of people were busy, the sound of forging echoed like thunder, and the sparks that shot out lit up everyone's eyes.

This is a picture they never dared to imagine.

A battleship made of steel was originally built like this.

Leng Qingsong watched most carefully. He saw that the craftsmen first corrected the round holes on the I-beam, corrected the angle, and even polished it properly. The craftsmen carry "magic-level grinding tools" with them, which can easily modify the edges and corners of the I-beam.

After proofreading, a reinforced steel plate will be attached to the seam; then the seam will be fixed with steel bars to strengthen the seal; and then the riveting will start.

When it's time to rivet, first rivet the four nearest holes, riveting diagonally. These four holes are determined, and then the four furthest holes are riveted, and then all the holes in the middle are riveted.

With the help of the practitioner's strong physique, the craftsmen completed the riveting of a pair of I-beams in only half an hour.

Then the upper and lower layers of I-beams will continue to be superimposed, and holes have been punched in the middle. During the riveting process, the main ribs are also riveted. At the link between the keel and the ribs, triangle steel is also added to fix it. It is very cumbersome.

But this scene was very shocking.

Zhang Hao didn't speak, just stood aside quietly with a smile on his face. Anyway, everyone looked at it, but they couldn't see any technology. Although riveting, driving, etc. have a little technical content, they are not high.

Riveting requires excellent craftsmen, and the real technical content is the training of craftsmen.

As for driving, it doesn't matter, and they can't turn on the machine that drives the driving. And in the world of practice, lifting has never been a problem. At least for the time being it seems so.

As for the smelting of steel, ship design and data models, etc., they cannot see it. Of course, seeing such homework scenes, you can definitely learn a lot.

Zhang Hao brought everyone here to shock everyone and to make everyone have full confidence in the Qixia Kingdom. Zhang Hao needs to win over some people in order to open the ocean road to Qixia Kingdom.

It was not until evening that Zhang Hao left with everyone; he observed for a whole day.

In fact, no one wanted to leave. At this time, the keel had been laid and the installation of steel plates had begun. Everyone is sailing, and they are very curious about the sealing of steel warships. But unfortunately, Zhang Hao started to push people away.

The sealing of steel warships is a very critical technology. Although there are all kinds of advantages in building ships with steel, sealing is the biggest problem!

Floating on the sea, a huge ship of several thousand tons will inevitably experience thermal expansion and contraction, various stresses, and local slight deformation. And as long as one part of the entire ship fails to be sealed, it may lead to catastrophe.

The sealing technology of the Zhang family's steel battleship was developed by Zhang Hao by combining the memory of another world and the craftsmanship of this world. This can be regarded as one of the core technologies of the steel warship. This cannot be revealed.

Although everyone was dissatisfied, they understood and were even satisfied and shocked.

Coming outside the barrier, looking at the sunset, Zhang Hao said loudly: "Everyone, I have prepared a gift for you today, I hope you like it."

Zhang Hao clapped his hands, and immediately a guard appeared holding a large number of sword boxes. There are 32 trading houses with a total of 96 sword boxes. Each business has three branches.

Leng Qingsong took a sword case with both hands, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a long sword with a very simple appearance, and the scabbard was also dusty, plain and even crude, without even carvings on the basic patterns.

Leng Qingsong picked up the long sword, but it was heavy, the scabbard was actually made of iron. No, it's made of steel!

Slowly pulling out the long sword, suddenly a cold light burst out, against the brilliance of the setting sun, the sharp sword seemed to have some kind of blood rushing towards his face.

"Good sword!" Leng Qingsong couldn't help shouting, and slowly pulled out the long sword to observe carefully, but saw that there were layers of ripples on the body of the sword, which was beautiful and mysterious. This is the trace left by folding and forging.

There is also a faint wave pattern at the blade position. This is the trace of burning blade. After being burnt, the weapon is sharper and stronger.

But what really surprised Leng Qingsong was that the blade was forged from steel. Although it's just a 'blank equipment', without additional spells, formations, etc., the sword is still extremely sharp. Gently across the hard rocks by the sea, the rocks are cut like tofu.

I used identification technique to identify it, and I was surprised to find that the purity of this sword has reached 99.7%!

Zhang Hao introduced it next to him: "This is made by Zhang's craftsmen in the past few days. The steel quenched with 99.7% black iron has undergone complicated smelting and purification (in fact, some impurities have been added to it), and after Folding and forging 13 times for plasticity, and finally covering the blade with soil. The hardness of the blade is comparable to Lingbao.

The only regret is that because the steel is too hard, it is difficult to seal the formation. "

Leng Qingsong flicked the blade lightly, the blade trembled slightly, like a puddle of clear water. He sighed: "Master Zhang, you are being polite. Such a sword may be more precious than ordinary spirit treasures.

Because there is no formation, there is no mutual generation and mutual restraint, and there is no requirement for use. In some special cases, this sword... can save lives!

The world of Eastern practice is relatively complicated, and various methods emerge in endlessly. In this case, this top-notch non-attribute equipment itself has the strength of a spirit treasure, so it is very precious! rare! "

The rest of the people praised.

Zhang Hao was a little surprised, he co-authored me and accidentally did something amazing again?

Leng Qingsong approached Zhang Hao, "Master Zhang, how many more swords are there? We offer 1,000 high-grade spirit stones, and we will charge as much as you have!"

The rest said that this can be traded.

Zhang Hao blinked, and gradually smiled: "This sword has 700 top-grade spirit stones, and it won't cost a thousand. How about this, I'll let the craftsmen of the family rush to make a batch, and take them away when everyone leaves."

"Master Zhang is sincere!"

After the lively dinner at night, Zhang Hao bid farewell to everyone, but rushed to the research base impatiently.

Long before the dinner, Huang Mingshan passed a message to Zhang Hao—Master, the locomotive you asked us to study has finally achieved great success. And the steam turbine, where we also made key advances.

When he came to the research base, Zhang Hao saw a dream technology at first sight: locomotives and rails!

At the beginning, when the cannon was just produced, Zhang Hao asked Huang Mingshan and others to start researching locomotives to replace horse-drawn carriages. However, due to the immaturity of the overall technology, it is difficult to achieve results.

If you want to make a locomotive, you need a power core. However, the temporary mechanical power core of the Zhang family is turbines, including steam turbines and turbines driven by spirit stones.

But the steam turbine is heavy and the technology is not mature enough; the Lingshi turbine is good, but to convert mechanical energy into continuous output power, the technology required is far more complicated than Zhang Hao expected. This makes the locomotive very heavy, and it will sink directly into the ground when walking on the road.

And now there is no rubber, nor anything like it. In the past, the wheels of carriages were either made of wood and iron, and the carriages of rich and noble families would use monster skins rolled into tires. But obviously such tires cannot meet the needs of industrialization.

Later, Zhang Hao had to settle for the next best thing, which was to study rail locomotives. It's called a train.

And if fuel oil and steam are used as power, the locomotive will have great power and low cost, and it should be of great use.

Right now, Huang Mingshan finally succeeded.

This is a real steel monster. It is almost 3 meters high and has no skin. You can see the organic and complicated pipelines of the main body of the steam turbine. The boiler is an oil-fired boiler. The boiler has adopted a water-cooled wall structure and an oil-injected combustion.

When Zhang Hao arrived, Huang Mingshan and others were testing. The locomotive moved slowly along a fifty-meter-long railroad track. Iron wheels driven by connecting rods rolled slowly on the rails. The width of the rails is a full three meters!

"Master!" Huang Mingshan greeted excitedly from afar, "Master, how about we build a railway leading to Ninghe County City and Luanci Mountain tomorrow?"
