The train tracks were finally laid two months before the New Year. According to Li Yu's plan, he did not intend to invite Li Yuan to attend the train opening ceremony, but he could not resist Li Xiuning's perseverance. In desperation, he finally agreed.

In fact, when the railway tracks were laid, it had caused a great sensation. I heard that laying Qianjian Steel underground made many people feel heartbroken and scolded them for building railways as a prodigal act.

Since the entire railway adopts sectional track laying method, the entire project has been completed in a few months, and the journey from the development zone to Yaozhou is more than 60 kilometers. Since it has not received strong support from the court, Li Yu from the development zone to Chang'an was not built. Let's wait for the imperial officials who do not believe that the train can run beg for them and then we will talk about it.

Li Yuan himself has a great trust in the train running on the railway. After all, he has the most information and the most information he controls. Even the train has been secretly tried and tested. Li Yuan today asked all the officials of the court to report to the railway station of the development zone, so that these unbelievable ministers could see it with their own eyes.

The train parked on the railway is a steam locomotive that has been retired for a long time. It is basically similar to the trains in the 1950s and 1960s, but the load capacity is ten tons smaller. The train's carriage is a little smaller, and the height is also reduced by a part of the corresponding reduction.

A big red flower was tied to the front of the train. The steam engine of the train was discharged from time to time. There were twenty cars, ten passenger compartments, ten cargo boxes, and the passenger compartment was green and the cargo boxes were black. You can tell what the car was for when you look at the color of the train.

The people in the entire development zone have been working in the development zone for a long time and know more about mechanical equipment than ordinary people. Because they understand that the development zone opened by Princess Pingyang can do anything. For example, God.

"Did you see it two days ago? Oh my god! Five big monsters are flying in the sky." A worker from a workshop in the development zone exclaimed.

"Of course I saw that it was the hot air balloon of our Detachment of Women. Now it has been changed to an airship brigade, and it is also a new soldier created by our detachment of women - the Air Force." A retired Detachment of Women's Detachment of Women had a proud look on his face.

"Airship! My mother! It turns out that big monster is called an airship. That day I saw a few big guys flying in the sky, which scared me to death." The people who had just come to the development zone to work as workers shouted.

When Li Yuan saw the hot air balloon, he was very excited to sit on the hot air and beg to swim around the sky. After he came down, he planned to take it back to the court immediately. Li Xiuning refused, saying that the Detachment of Women now had too few soldiers and all rely on these airships to patrol. Li Yuan had to line up craftsmen to go to Yaozhou to study, because the igniters were made by hand and the seal was not qualified. Several hot air balloons exploded continuously. Li Yuan scolded the craftsmen for being incompetent, and finally he had no way to go to the development zone machinery factory to solve this problem.

The ministers in the court and Li Yuan's guards looked at the giant creature curiously. Apart from taking a breath, they had no confidence in this guy running out of breath. Li Yuan was shocked by this big guy at first sight. Such a big guy also brought twenty-chamber carriages behind him. Can it move?

Although he heard the spy's report and knew that this big guy could run, when he was really standing in front of the train and seeing the real thing shockedly, he really lost confidence in his heart. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, who were following him, thought the same way.

Li Yuanji looked at the entire train in shock and asked with a worried look: "Father, it is said that this train can pull 20,000 dan at a time, can it pull it?"

"It should be! Sanniang said that one section can be 800 dan, and at most 30 dan, which is 24,000 dan." Li Yuan said. From the farming civilization to the span of mechanical civilization, he really didn't believe that this giant would run away.

"Let's go, let's get in the car, you'll know later. Would your Sanniang still lie to us?" Li Yuan took the lead in getting in the car as he said.

A carriage can accommodate hundreds of people. Li Yu would not specially renovate a carriage for Li Yuan to take care of him. It was all hard seats. The important ministers and Li Yuan followed him. The sofa seats were made of faces and there were a small coffee table in the middle. There were many cars. Since it was a trial operation, many people could participate, and those princes and ministers and those powerful people soon filled ten cars. Many civilians only sat in truck compartments. The truck compartments were not covered very cold, but they still could not stop the enthusiasm of the people.

"Beep..." A short sound of the train car sounded, and a rolling smoke ejected from the nose of the train.

"Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-"

The white air produced by the steam locomotive was like fog, which dissipated into the sky with the breeze. With the rumbling sound of the steam locomotive and the rumbling sound of the steel rails of the steam locomotive, the huge driving wheels began to rotate. Then slowly started to drive in the sound of "bang bang...". The train began to slowly start and slowly drove away from the platform...

Li Yuan felt that the train was driving and he was completely relieved.

The crowd of people who did not board the train outside the platform widened their eyes and mouths. Seeing the giant really running, they secretly hated that they had not boarded the long iron horse. Many people simply followed the train, but the speed of the train was getting faster and faster, and people gradually couldn't catch up, so they had to return to the train station helplessly and wait for the next train.

Li Xiuning was circling around the car excitedly, her eyes flashing brightly, and she said, "I finally got on the train I built, but the speed was not too fast!"

Li Yu looked at her excited look and said, "You know what's wrong. Now that I just left the platform, how can I be fast? I'll speed be faster? I'll be quicker after a while."

"Aunt, you are so amazing. You can actually build such a big iron horse!" Li Chengqian ran over from the opposite side of Changsun and looked at Li Xiuning who was about to float with admiration.

The little lolishi had a look of excitement on her face and said, "I will build a big iron horse like my aunt in the future."

"Your aunt can kill enemies by riding a horse, and dismounting can create a train that benefits the country and the people. Your aunt is a real heroine." Changsun introduced their aunt's past.

The train has now accelerated to a speed of 50 kilometers per hour and is still accelerating. The current train has a maximum of 80 kilometers per hour.

The people inside the train began to feel the speed of the train. The soft sofa and the suspension springs were added to the carriage. They felt the comfort of the train, which was much faster than the carriage. Li Yuan watched the trees outside the railway retreat quickly, and he felt that he could arrive in Yaozhou in half an hour.

The technician next to him told Li Yuan that it took less than an hour to get to Yaozhou in the development zone.

Li Yuan nodded, but was surprised by the train's huge carrying capacity.

If this is a troop transport, if there are ten such trains, how many soldiers, supplies can be transported at a time, and how many military rations can be saved by the civilians. After he calculated, he felt uncomfortable. This was not his own. Although he could use it in a war, he was not his own.

Then, after listening to the technician's report on the cost of the railway, Li Yuan directly gave up the plan to let the court build a railway. Even if Qianjin Steel Refining, the court could not afford the current finance, let alone the construction of bridges, tunnels, sleepers, and train motorcycles. The court had no money to invest in the railway, maybe only his precious daughter could.

Li Jiancheng calculated the cost, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I don't think my father's taxes for the court all year round. I can't afford to build the rails from Chang'an to Luoyang. Unless the steel mill belongs to the court, it's okay to pay only a wage."

"How about we build a large steel mill as well, my father." Li Yuanji's face showed a look.

"Yuan Ji, do you know that the output of your third sister built this steel plant is as many times as that of our Tang Dynasty in the whole year? I tell you that it is more than 30 times. Why can't people in the past do it? Because without technology, these technologies are a natural barrier." Li Yuan's face showed extreme disappointment.

Li Xiuning was excited for a moment and said, "How many years did you think the Tang Dynasty need to build a train like this?"

Li Yu used his spiritual sense to fluctuate and said, "Don't think about this technology now. It's good to produce half of the power of this motorcycle in a hundred years. Don't worry! In addition to steelmaking, this retired train has hundreds of trains, which are probably enough for the Tang Dynasty to use for more than a hundred years. It just so happened that these locomotives were scrapped. I think that at that time, the Tang Dynasty could probably produce qualified steam engines."

Li Xiuning stared at the apricot and asked angrily: "What, why is it an eliminated machine again!"

Li Yu couldn't believe his ears, and could actually hear Li Xiuning dare to ask this question. The emergence of the power train directly made the Tang Dynasty's lowly farming civilization move towards mechanization, and she was not satisfied.

He glared and said, "If you dare to say something behind, I will return all the motorcycles to make steel, so let you make a slow move. I will see if you will build motorcycles within three hundred years."

Li Xiuning was a little stunned when she heard that she wanted to make steel by these precious motorcycles. She quickly pleased her and said, "Master, I surrender, I surrender, I will never say anything behind in the future."

"Mother, what did my aunt do just now? She seemed very scared!" Little Lolizhi asked with her eyes wide open.

"It's your uncle who is dealing with your aunt." Seeing Li Xiuning's appearance, Changsun quickly covered his mouth and smiled.

"Mother's wife, my aunt is already so powerful. My uncle dares to deal with my aunt!" Little Loliri didn't seem to understand.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuning came over and picked up Xiao Lizhi and said, "Your uncle! He was sent by God to make trouble for your aunt. Your aunt has been in the hands of your uncle in this life."

Li Yu continued the conversation and said with a smile: "Just that ungrateful look of your aunt, you have to deal with it so that your aunt will be honest."

"you……"

The train returned from Yaozhou again. Li Yuan got off the train with unsatisfactory intentions, patted the steel plates on the train, and said, "This is not an iron horse! I think it is simply a giant dragon. Although it is against the royal taboo, from a distance, do you think it looks like a dragon?"

No one of the ministers dared to answer. Could it be that we had just ridden on you and swam around. Your emperor represents the image of a dragon. You said yes, but the ministers said they had already violated a taboo, but the ministers were very interested in the train.
