Chapter 690 Toy Train
Zhang Han didn't quite understand yet, but Li Si and Ying Zheng on the side already understood.
Li Si immediately explained: "Lao Zhang, don't you understand? To you, that meat and oil are money.
But for Qin An, it was meat and oil.
If you really want to use money to measure it, then the meat and oil add up to ten taels of silver, but for Qin An, the meat and oil add up to only one tael of silver.
To Qin An, one tael of silver is simply a small amount of money, not worth mentioning, because he has a breeding farm and an oil refinery. When the people finish eating the meat and use up the oil, they will continue to buy meat and oil. "
"My father-in-law, you still see clearly." Qin An smiled and said, "Old Zhang, although meat and oil are good things to the villagers, they are the most common things to me.
So, just do what I want, five pounds of meat and five pounds of oil for each household. "
"Okay." Zhang Han responded, "When I get back, I will immediately notify the villagers to come get it."
Qin An said: "Okay, let's go back."
"Sir, what about the plane?" Xiang Liang asked. At this time, he felt much better because he had already vomited.
Qin An thought for a while and said, "Just cover it with a piece of cloth, and then let someone guard the plane."
Ying Zheng looked at the plane carefully and said, "Why do I feel that your plane is different from the one I saw in your yard last time?"
Qin An explained with a smile: "Of course it is different. This plane was made by me temporarily. It has no engine, everything is manual, and it is ejected.
The plane in the yard runs on gasoline and has an engine. Now almost everything is ready, only the engine is left. "
"Engine? Is this what Gongshu is studying? Is it really that difficult?" Ying Zheng asked.
Qin An nodded and said: "If it were not difficult, I would have invented it long ago. But no matter how difficult it is, I will invent it. My research is not in vain.
By the way, father-in-law, I invented another toy. You can help take it away when the time comes. "
Ying Zheng couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "What other toy did you invent? The child has just been born, and you have plenty of time to make it, so why rush it."
"I couldn't help but want to do it." Qin An embarrassedly scratched the back of his head.
Zhang Han on the side said: "Village chief, your little toy is actually a miniature version of a steam train."
"A smaller version of a steam train?" Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, "Have you successfully developed a steam train?"
Qin An shook his head and said, "No, I didn't participate in the development at all, I just made a toy.
Although it looks very similar to a steam train, its operating mode is different. Steam trains use coal to boil water and then use steam to start it.
Toys use electricity and cannot move without electricity.
But they look similar, or they can be exactly the same, it’s up to you. "
"Come on, take us to see it quickly." Ying Zheng said immediately, looking a little impatient.
Then everyone quickly returned to the yard.
"Where are the things?" Ying Zheng asked immediately. Ying Zheng only saw that many things in the yard were covered with pieces of cloth.
Ying Zheng knew that the parts covered under the cloth were all aircraft parts. In order to prevent these parts from being damaged by the sun, he deliberately covered them with cloth.
Only when Qin An wants to make it, he will open the cloth, and not all of it.
Qin An smiled and walked to a piece of cloth, then lifted it up, and a set of steam train toys appeared in front of everyone.
It's more of a toy than a model of a steam train.
When Ying Zheng and others looked at the dark train, they all had doubts in their hearts. This thing was the steam train Qin An said.
The size of the toy is the same as that of later train toys.
In other words, Qin An, who graduated from science and engineering, can do this, no?
However, most people don’t want to make trains.
"Why can't you move?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.
Qin An smiled and said, "Just turn on the power switch." Then Qin An turned on the power switch on the locomotive.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Click, click..."
The train whistled, then black smoke began to emit from the chimney of the locomotive, and the train began to move.
"It's moving, it's really moving." A Yin Yang disciple said in shock.
Everyone was not paying attention to him, but to the steam train. Although the train was a little slow at first, it quickly picked up speed and finally fixed at a constant speed.
Because the rails are round, the train keeps running around the circle. Round and round.
In order to be realistic, there are trees, villages, etc. near the train.
So fast.
Ying Zheng and others couldn't help but be extremely shocked.
Zhang Han said: "Village chief, sir, as long as the steam train is built, it will be faster and more carriages can be added at the back."
"Okay, great." Ying Zheng said. "But Qin An, what's down here? It doesn't seem to be a cement road."
“This is called a railroad track, and trains running on the railroad track can increase speed and reduce friction, and the train will follow the path of the railroad track.
Therefore, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the foreign devils wanted to control the railway rights, so that they could not only build the routes they wanted.
A route is very important, allowing soldiers to quickly capture those military locations or wealthy cities.
For example, it takes five days to reach Hangu Pass from Xianyang City, but with the train, it only takes half a day for me to get there.
Once the foreign devils and the Qing government launched a war, they could have soldiers occupy Hangu Pass within half a day.
The Qing government may have just left the country, and when they arrive at Hangu Pass, the situation between the two sides may be reversed. "
"Soldiers are valuable and quick." Ying Zheng said, "Everyone knows this."
Qin An nodded and said: "My father-in-law knows, so I won't say more. Steam trains can not only transport people, but also cargo.
But I really don’t think my father-in-law needs to study steam trains, because now the country has invented high-speed rail. The fastest high-speed rail can reach 300 kilometers per hour, which according to you is only 600 miles.
One hour is one thousand two hundred miles. "
"How much?" Ying Zheng asked in shock.
"One thousand two hundred miles every hour." Qin An replied again.
This answer shocked Ying Zheng again, and he immediately asked: "Where is the steam train? How fast is it?"
"Eighty miles an hour. Of course, if you keep adding coal to burn, the train can go faster." Qin An explained.
"Village chief, eighty miles is already very fast. A bloody horse can only travel a thousand miles a day. There are not so many thousand-mile horses in the world," Li Si said.
One thousand two and eighty, to be honest, there is a huge difference between the two.
