With the continuous acceleration, everyone can soon feel the obvious feeling of speed.
Glancing out the window, Zhu Biao exclaimed: "This speed is already faster than that of a galloping horse, right? I really didn't expect that such a big iron giant could be so fast."
"Actually, they can go faster, but for the safety of the emperor, I asked them to slow down a little." Han Du explained with a smile.
Zhu Biao nodded and looked out the window, looking at the scene in front of him in amazement. All the scenery that was retreating quickly made him linger.
When Jie Jin heard Han Du say that he would not speed up any more, he slowly let go of the hands tightly holding the chair one by one. Only then did he realize that his palms were already covered in sweat.
"My lord, since this thing is so dangerous, why would the emperor take the risk? If there is an eventuality, can you afford it?"
Zhu Biao was stunned by Xie Jin's words. To be honest, he was still very new to the train and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"For the emperor's safety, please order Han Du to stop immediately and return to the palace as soon as possible."
Explanation???????????????Jin himself was afraid of this thing, but he chose not to say it. Instead, he pretended to do it for the emperor's benefit.
Han Du understood the reason as soon as his thoughts changed, and he had to say that he was very disappointed with Xie Jin.
First of all, Xie Jin was too smart, but this became his flaw. When he encounters a problem, he will not solve it immediately. Instead, he will retreat temporarily and wait until he thinks carefully before taking action.
Over time, he has naturally developed an instinct to avoid their sharp edges, and now he has an urge to escape.
Secondly, no matter what Han Du said, he was kind to Xie Jin. Even if Han Du didn't want him to repay him, he couldn't add insult to injury.
But how did Xie Jin do it? He has no regard for past kindness, which shows his cold nature, which makes people feel cold.
"It's okay, I also want to take a good look at this train." Zhu Biao waved his hand to stop Xie Jin, then looked at Han Du and said with a smile on his face: "I believe that you, who have always been meticulous in everything you do, will not let me down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust. I deserve it." Han Du quickly returned the gesture with his fists raised.
Then he looked at Xie Jin and said with a meaningful smile: "If you have studied physics, you will know that there is no difference between us now and standing on the flat ground. It's a pity that you haven't studied it!"
After saying that, Han Du put his hands on the armrests to support himself and stood up straight. Under Jie Jin's stunned gaze, Han Du walked to the middle of the carriage and turned around casually.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Han Du. Seeing the rapidly retreating scenery outside the window, people couldn't believe their eyes.
How could he stand up easily even though he was traveling at such a fast speed?
"Huh? It's really like walking on flat ground!" Zhu Biao also imitated Han Du and stood up, turned around, and found that it had no effect at all.
He gestured cheerfully to everyone with both hands, "Get up and give it a try. It's really no different than standing on the ground."
The emperor wants to get up, who dares to continue sitting? Everyone stood up one after another and soon discovered that this was indeed the case. Some people even got excited and walked a few steps in the carriage.
"Your Majesty, there is no difference even when walking. It's really magical." Han Jingyun also took a few steps and said to Zhu Biao with a smile.
Zhu Biao also curiously asked Han Du: "What on earth is going on?"
"Your Majesty, this is the principle of the relative reference system." Han Du explained quickly.
"Oh? Can you tell me more about it?" Zhu Biao asked again.
Han Du had no choice but to explain to everyone. Fortunately, he had already explained it to the students in the academy countless times, and Han Du was familiar with it again.
"This is a difference in the reference system. When we stand on the ground, we see that the train is indeed moving rapidly. But when we stand in the carriage, the train is relatively stationary."
"For example, let's take the table and me," Han Du gestured back and forth between himself and the table, "as long as the table and I keep the same speed, then we will be relatively stationary to each other."
"The same is true between us and the train. As long as the speed is exactly the same, let alone walking, even if we jump, we will still fall to the same place, instead of being thrown out directly."
Everyone felt dizzy after hearing this, and seemed to understand but they didn't dare to ask Han Du. Wouldn't that mean that he didn't understand?
"That's it," Zhu Biao understood, and he actually jumped.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing the Emperor's provocation, Xie Jin's heart rose to his throat. It wasn't until Zhu Biao landed smoothly on the spot that he let out a long sigh of relief.
Among the people, only Fang Xiaoru was not surprised at all. He had known these truths for a long time, so what was there to be surprised about? From beginning to end, he didn't even bother to take another look.
...
On the locomotive.
Yu Qian was holding a shovel and kept adding coal to the firebox. When the addition was almost done, he let out a heavy breath and rested with the shovel.
"Brother Yu, come and have a drink of water." One of Sun Xian's apprentices handed Yu Qian a kettle.
"Thank you." Yu Qian took a few sips and felt the boiling feeling in his chest calm down a little.
This man was much older than Yu Qian, but he kept calling Yu Qian his brother.
There is no method, there is no before or after in learning, and the master is the teacher. Yu Qian has made rapid progress in the academy, and everyone admires him. Calling him "Brother Yu" doesn't seem out of place.
Feeling the cool breeze blowing in his face, Yu Qian's spirit was highly invigorated, "Teacher's knowledge is so amazing, he can actually create such a miracle!"
"Hahaha, that's why I said that the real path for us to work together in machinery. Brother Yu is also a leader in the academy. How about we come to the workshop together and study machinery?"
Yu Qian glanced at it and said to this classmate who was trying to lure him into the machinery workshop: "The teacher said that making machinery is the use of knowledge, but knowledge itself is equally important. You cannot put the cart before the horse."
"Sir, of course you are right, but for now, the use of knowledge is more important."
The two of them each had their own opinions and found that no one could convince the other, so they consciously put aside their arguments and each strengthened their beliefs.
A giant black dragon kept blowing out white breath and whizzed past on the flat ground.
Shanghai County, here we come.
When the train came to a complete stop, Zhu Biao stood up suddenly and was the first to rush to the carriage door.
As the carriage door opened, he was deeply shocked when he saw a huge deserted plain and the sea that seemed to be within reach.
"In an instant, the sea has changed, and I truly feel like Li Bai's boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains, hahaha!" Zhu Biao laughed heartily.
Everyone walked out of the carriage and stepped on solid ground. They all felt that the scene in front of them was a bit unreal. How long has it been? Just from the capital to Shanghai County?
But when they saw the seabirds flying in the wind in the distance, everyone had to believe it.
"Your Majesty, Wan Qing, the magistrate of Shanghai County, and his county officials are here to pay homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!" Wan Qing was in his fifties and had a goatee.
"I pay my respects to the Emperor, long live my Emperor..." The subordinate officials following Wan Qing wanted to bury their heads in the soil one by one. Even when they were kneeling on the ground, they were trembling with excitement.
Zhu Biao frowned slightly and looked at Han Du displeasedly: "Didn't you say that the county government was not notified? What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, I definitely did not notify the county government." Han Du quickly explained, turned around and lowered his voice and asked Wan Qing, "What's the matter with you? Who asked you to come to pick him up?"
???????????????Wan Qing straightened up and replied confidently: "The emperor is visiting Shanghai County, and I, as the county magistrate, must come to see you no matter what for the emperor's safety." .”
His reason is very good. The emperor has arrived in his territory. If he doesn't come to see him. If something happens to the emperor, even ten of his heads are not enough to chop him off. Moreover, he didn't even come to see the emperor when he came, so how big of an arrogance should he have?
"I know that the emperor does not want to disturb the people. Please rest assured, the emperor. I did not ask the people to sweep the streets, nor did I ask the people to come to pay homage."
Zhu Biao was slightly satisfied, and waved his hand: "You are considered sensible, so stay calm."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Wan Qing bowed again, he got up and stood aside.
Zhu Biao looked at the still desolate place in front of him, and said to Wan Qing earnestly: "This will be a good place in the future. As a parent official of Shanghai County, you must seize this opportunity."
"Your Majesty, you are too worried. I don't need to worry here." Wan Qing followed closely with a straight face.
Zhu Biao suddenly became unhappy and said with a stern face: "If this place is managed well, it will be a treasure land for you in Shanghai County in the future. As a parent, why are you so ignorant of progress? Or do you mean that you don't know the value of this land?"
Zhu Biao has seen the bustling scene of the capital's docks and knows that such a place will inevitably become expensive in the future. When the trains start transporting freight, this place will soon become prosperous as long as it is well managed.
Wan Qing cupped his hands and bowed, "Go back to the emperor, I know."
"Since you know, why are you so ignorant of progress?" Zhu Biao was very puzzled.
Wan Qing straightened up and replied solemnly: "Go back to the emperor, because the land here no longer belongs to Shanghai County."
"Whose is that?" Zhu Biao was surprised, "Who has such a good vision and can buy the land here in advance?"
"Prince Zhenguo!" Wan Qing looked at Handu very dissatisfied, with deep dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Han Du quickly lowered his head and smiled awkwardly. In fact, when he saw Wan Qing coming just now, he knew that something bad was going to happen. The reason why Wan Qing desperately wanted to come to see the emperor was probably because he wanted to sue him.
Now it seems that it is indeed the case.
