咣当咣当咣当咣…The noisy sound accompanied by the vibrations underneath made Ren Baqian feel like he might fall apart at any time.
In the open space surrounded by fences outside the city, a circle of 400 meters of rails was placed on it. A train carrying two wooden carriages was running along the rails, and the sound of jingling was kept.
Ren Baqian and the female emperor are on the second carriage behind the train. As the wind comes, the smoke from the locomotive is coming…
"It's much faster than an ox cart."The criminal department’s book, Li Yan, feels the wind blowing.
"And it's also much smoother."Everyone is saying.
With the road of this world, plus wooden tires and shock absorption, even in the city, you need to have a very strong hip, not to mention outside the city.
After the out of the city, the speed of the cattle car is only a little faster, it is a disaster, allowing you to spit out the internal organs.
"It just tastes too bad."Shaosong’s fisherman’s fisherman’s nose snorted.
"After all, there is a disadvantage."Ren Baqian smiled and then introduced to everyone: "This train can reach 70 miles in half an hour, 140 hours in a time, and can run up to 1680 miles in a day. From Yucheng to the northeastern city or the northern government. It takes two days, and this is just the speed of the present, and it can continue to improve and even double in the future!"
"So fast? Does this thing need to rest? ”Someone immediately asked.
"This is not a creature, so there is no need to rest like a livestock. As long as there is enough coal, it can continue to maintain this speed."Ren Baqian explained to everyone.
"And this kind of train can pull a lot of goods, the train compartment made of metal, the load of one car is equivalent to about 60 cars. One can pull dozens of cars, which is equivalent to the load of more than 4,000 cattle carts. It doesn't need to use so many people, and there is not so much grain loss.
This kind of train can not only load a large amount of goods, but also can be used to transport troops. In just two days, tens of thousands of troops can be sent to the northeast and the north, which saves a lot of time and food. Especially when there is war.
Both speed and load capacity are completely unmatched by livestock carts.
More importantly, with this thing, it is much easier to rule the cloud country. No matter what happens on the other side, you can respond to the dispatch of the army in time. Various materials from Izumo can also be shipped back in large quantities. ”
"Si…"
Everyone sucks in the air.
The concept of load and speed may not be clear to everyone. It can be said that the load of more than 4,000 cattle carts and the time of two days, everyone immediately has a relatively clear concept.
You must know that the angle of a car is not more than a thousand kilograms. As for the speed, it is slower. At most, you can walk 100 miles in one day.
That is to say, the train runs for one day, which is equivalent to more than 4,000 cattle carts for ten days.
The amount of manpower and resources and food and waste required here is an astronomical figure.
Not to mention the reduced time, the value of time is even understood by Ancient Race people.
In this contrast, everyone in the field is shocked and fluttering, as if you can drive the train straight to the cloud halfway tomorrow.
"The director said that it is very moving, and I am very excited. But you must know that these so-called railroad tracks alone consume more than 200,000 kilograms of steel, enough to arm 10,000 troops.
And from the foot to the cloud, thousands of miles, how much iron? More than ten thousand pounds! It will not necessarily be so much iron to hollow out the Momo Mountain. The time required is tens of hundreds of years. ”The picture was directly poured into the basin of ice water from the beginning, pouring from the head to the feet.
Everyone doesn't have to look at their fingers. It's scary enough to just listen to these things and spend more than 200,000 pounds of iron. What is even more intimidating is the cost of laying out from here to the cloud. The number has completely exceeded the concept of numbers for everyone.
They always think that the number is a little inexplicable, far away, as if it could never be completed.
Everyone looked at the picture late and looked at Ren Baqian. I don't know what to say.
"Isn't that the foundation is not built?"Someone sighed.
"No, no, my plan is ten years, connecting from the city to the cloud, rather than connecting to the northeastern city."Ren Baqian swings his hand. "Listen to me. ”
"In fact, it is not as difficult as you think. Although the iron ore is in short supply, it is not lacking in the cloud. As far as I know, there are seven iron mines known to the cloud. I am afraid that there are still unidentified ones.
This railway is calculated according to 4000 miles. According to the standard rails, 200 kilograms per meter, 40,000 kilograms of steel is needed.
Even the smallest iron ore mine, there is also a 100,000-kilogram iron ore mine. According to the 50% content, there are also 50 million kilograms of steel, enough to build such a railway.
A slightly larger small iron ore can build such a railway, and a medium-sized iron ore can build hundreds.
So you don't need to worry about the amount of steel consumed, and Izumo has enough steel reserves to consume.
As for mining, that is not a problem. A prisoner of war only has to dig up ten pounds of iron a day, and that is more than three thousand kilograms a year. The iron ore out of the cloud is not a big mountain. Do you think that adults will not be able to extract even ten pounds a day? One hundred thousand prisoners of war can dig up enough iron ore we need in two years. ”Ren Baqian directly throws away the others and uses numbers to calculate for everyone.
As for mining iron ore, it is not a problem in his eyes.
The physical quality of people in this world can be much stronger than that of the Earth. If there are so many problems, the experts can solve it. It is impossible to transport the explosives. It is much more than the mining method of the Earth. The difficulty is also reduced too much.
"And we can build a steel plant directly in the northeastern city, and after the smelting in the northeastern city, directly from there to the railway. Even if it fails in the end, those railroad tracks can be used for other purposes, but it consumes a little manpower and food, and it consumes prisoners of war. We still have access to a lot of steel.
If it is, then this is a matter of success, and the Izumo area will be firmly in the hands of the empire. ”
After Ren Baqian’s remarks, everyone began to ponder.
"Although I don't understand how much I need, the reason that Ren Daren said is correct."Qin Chuan scratched his head. "The opinion of Ren Daren is definitely stronger than that of the old man. The old man feels that it works. ”
To know that this railroad can really be realized, then the military department is also a beneficiary, the force can be arbitrarily mobilized, think about it makes him feel excited, and immediately open the way.
"The old man thinks that the words spoken by the adults are not wrong. If this is the case, the entire Izumo area is between the palms of the majesty, even if it is worth paying."Shi Qing slowly said.
"The old man is seconding."The sea is nodding.
"The old man knows the ability and ability of the adults."Copper shocked the field and smiled, then the voice turned: "But there are so many irons in the cloud?"
"Yes, and definitely. Iron is one of the most common substances in nature. As long as iron ore is formed, the quantity will not be too small. And I am according to the most conservative, iron ore that can be found at the level of exploration of the cloud, mostly open pit mines exposed on the ground, the reserves and ore quality may be higher than I said.
In particular, three of the iron ore mines are very close, and it is likely that a large iron ore mine is buried underground.
The location of the three iron ore mines is where the military front of the east of the city is located.
As long as the front line continues to push forward, then these three iron ore will fall into our palms. ”Said Ren Baqian.
As soon as this statement is said, even the red picture has no more words.
After all, if such a railway reaches the effect of Ren Baqian, then the value is too great and it is worth their risk.
What's more, they don't have to pay much.
Whether it is a mine or a captive, it is all out of the cloud. The most important food problems, the high-yield foods such as pumpkins and sweet potatoes that Ren Baqian brings can now be solved.
All they have to do is lay down the clouds, and this is already planned.
Everyone has been coveted for the richness of the cloud.
Even if there is no such goal, everyone will not let go of this piece of fat, not to mention that this piece of fat is now on the chopping board.
Nowadays, Da Yao has sent 60,000 reinforcements to the northeastern city, and the original army of the northeastern government has a total of 75,000 troops, which is close to the national strength of the original Da Yao, all of which have been invested in the direction of the cloud.
And out of the cloud, now has lost a quarter of the land, the country is in a panic.
The people jumped off the train and watched the train run for six hours. As Ren Baqian said, there was no slowdown, and he was satisfied with the return to the city to arrange the next thing.
The plundering of iron ore and the laying of railroad tracks have become one of the most important things in everyone's mind.
The Zizhu Academy will continue to improve the design of the train to ensure that no problems arise. If Ren Baqian says that he can double the speed, everyone will dream of laughing.
Let them lay down the summer, they have nothing to say, and immediately prepare for the war.
