Although the death of Zhennan King Yang Lin shocked the world, it did not affect the development and planning of the Star Empire.
Industrial machine tools finally appeared in this world thanks to the vigorous research and development of the Imperial Academy of Engineering.
With the emergence of industrial machine tools, Star Empire's spare parts in many places have become more efficient, causing Star Empire to develop faster and faster day by day.
The ninth year of the Star Era.
After unremitting efforts, the steam locomotive finally appeared.
Yang Yu led dozens of ministers and looked at the steel monster in front of him, surrounded by people watching the excitement.
"Your Majesty, this is the steam locomotive developed by the Imperial Academy of Engineering after years of unremitting efforts."
"After improvements made by ministers and others, this steam locomotive can travel hundreds of miles in one hour."
The dean of the Academy of Engineering said proudly.
Their Imperial Engineering Academy lived up to expectations and developed something epoch-making.
"Half an hour, a hundred miles?" Hearing this, the finance minister looked at him suspiciously.
"Yes, it can cover a hundred miles in half an hour, and the steam locomotive will not stop like an animal."
"That means that now it will only take us four or five days to arrive in the Eastern Wasteland."
The Prime Minister was also a little unconvinced.
It means a lot if you don't have to be as tired as an animal.
"Not at the moment."
The dean of the Academy of Engineering shook his head.
"Why?" the finance minister asked in confusion.
"Railways need to be laid to allow steam locomotives to go where they can. Without rails, steam locomotives can't go anywhere."
The president of the Imperial Academy of Engineering pointed to the left and right rails under the steam locomotive and explained: "Currently, we have only laid this rail to Yanque Pass, which requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources."
"The imperial capital is about four hundred miles away from Yanque Pass. If you can ensure that I arrive at Yanque Pass within two hours, then I will grant you funds to lay this kind of railway track."
The finance minister pondered for a moment and then gritted his teeth and said.
He had already thought of a lot in one moment.
If it is possible to travel back and forth between the two places quickly as this old guy said, this will definitely bring huge economic effects to the empire.
He has realized the essence of what His Majesty the Emperor said, if you want to be rich, build roads first.
In recent years, his Ministry of Finance has spent large amounts of money to build cement roads.
There is more and more money in the Ministry of Finance, the empire's income is also increasing rapidly, and the living standards of the people have also been greatly improved due to road construction.
Therefore, it can bring income to the empire and bring a better living environment to the people of the empire.
He absolutely agrees.
This steam locomotive has a bright future.
"This is what you said, don't go back on it." The dean of the Imperial Academy of Engineering stared at him.
"How can I go back on what I said? Besides, His Majesty, the Prime Minister, and the Minister of Justice are all here, how can I dare to break my promise?"
said the Chancellor.
"My dear, if this is true, I'm afraid my dear will have to worry about the expenditure of money from the national treasury."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will never dare to break my promise. Besides, this is a major event that benefits the country and the people. Even if I have a hundred courages, I will not dare to delay the development of the empire."
"Then I'll be relieved." Seeing the Minister of Finance's arrangement, Yang Yu nodded with a satisfied smile.
"My dear, since your Imperial Academy of Engineering has come up with such an epoch-making thing, I must set an example for the people of the empire. I haven't been to Yanque Pass for many years, so I just happened to take this steam locomotive and go to Yanque Pass to have a look. "
Yang Yu said with a smile.
"How can Your Majesty be in danger? It's better to let the old minister take your Majesty's place..."
All the ministers were shocked. We still don’t know how stable this thing is. How can we let the emperor take risks?
"No, I believe in the Imperial Academy of Engineering."
Yang Yu waved his hand to stop the ministers' remonstrances, and naturally chose to get on the steam locomotive.
Many Imperial Guard guards nearby quickly followed the six-car steam locomotive.
When the ministers saw the emperor, they all walked up to him in person without hesitating too much.
Let them write and witness the history of the empire.
Entering this relatively small compartment, Yang Yu was not too surprised. The space was spacious enough.
"Your Majesty, this carriage designed by our Imperial Academy of Engineering is used to transport people, so it is equipped with seats. Each carriage is about 15 meters long, 2.8 meters high and 2.8 meters wide."
"The aisle is 80 centimeters. There are two seats on both sides of the aisle, and each seat occupies 50 centimeters."
"The front seat and the back seat are 50 centimeters apart, and we have set up seats for 100 people in one carriage."
Naturally, the dean of the Imperial Academy of Engineering also climbed onto the steam locomotive, following Yang Yu and explaining to him.
"Six carriages, does that mean it can transport 600 people at one time?"
"almost."
"Can we add more carriages?" the finance minister frowned and asked.
"As long as the steam locomotive has that power, it can be increased. If we want to transport troops, we can remove these seats. It shouldn't be a problem to pull two hundred people in one carriage." The president of the Imperial Academy of Engineering nodded.
"Is it okay to transport supplies?" This is what the Prime Minister is most concerned about.
"nature."
"Are you sure there is no problem with the connection between your carriages? Will it fall off due to excessive speed or some other reason?"
Yang Yu raised his eyebrows, safety was the most important thing.
"Your Majesty can rest assured that the connection between the carriages is very stable and was designed by an engineer from our engineering institute who is specialized in this area of technology."
"The connection method is also very simple, as if our two hands are clasped together, which not only serves as a connection, but also acts as a buffer." The dean of the Academy of Engineering said with confidence.
Hearing this, Yang Yu nodded with satisfaction. He seemed to have seen this kind of thing online. It has been used for more than a hundred years and has never been eliminated.
Unexpectedly, his empire is really full of talents.
Actually developed this thing.
soon.
This steam locomotive made a huge roar.
"Boom, boom, boom."
A rhythmic sound sounded.
The steam train moved.
The ministers seemed to have seen something surprising, looking at the scenery outside the window that began to recede, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.
Feeling the wind blowing outside the window, Yang Yu said to the dean of the Engineering Academy next to him: "This thing still needs improvement. If the speed is increased in the future, will anything happen?"
"If it's a severe cold season and the cold wind blows in from outside, will it have any impact on the people riding the steam locomotive?"
The dean of the Academy of Engineering listened carefully to His Majesty the Emperor's story and did not interrupt. Instead, he took out a small notebook and started recording it next to him.
"The speed of this steam locomotive is not bad, and it is smoother than a horse-drawn carriage."
"Yeah, yeah, this is really a good thing for the benefit of the people of the empire. With this steam locomotive in the empire, isn't it going to go somewhere, in just a few days or ten?"
"Yes, this old guy finally did something great that benefits the country and the people!"
