There is a word called mechanical beauty, which refers to the beauty of power brought by that rough mechanical device.
Li Shimin and the people he brought definitely didn't know this word, but that didn't mean they couldn't feel the beauty.
Tang Ping jumped into the driver's seat: "This is the driver's seat. Two people can sit there. One person is responsible for controlling the direction of the vehicle, and the other is responsible for adding coke to the car."
There is no choice but to use coke as fuel. This is already the fuel with the highest combustion efficiency and energy release that Datang can obtain now.
A tall chimney stands at the front of the car, and the soot after combustion will be discharged from there.
There is a solid steel plate between the steam engine and the cab. Even if something goes wrong with the steam engine, the safety of the two drivers can be protected to the greatest extent.
"Can this car be driven? How fast can it go?"
Li Shimin held back his excitement and asked, if the road just now was matched with such a vehicle, wouldn't it be possible to allow Datang's military operations to reach an unprecedented height?
Tang Ping nodded: "It can be driven. We have tried it. The theoretical speed of this car can almost reach the top speed of 40 kilometers per hour, but in fact it is estimated to be 25 kilometers per hour. If it is for comfort, this car About six people can sit in the back. If it is for transporting troops or something like that, there should be no problem if the cabin in the back is modified so that twenty people can be at a time. But the speed may drop to 20 kilometers per hour!"
This speed is based on the fact that the six tires used are motorcycle tires that Tang Ping bought from Hyundai. If they were replaced with tires from Datang's carriage, the speed would definitely drop.
"Also, after running for tens of kilometers, you need to add water once."
After Tang Ping finished speaking, he found that the scene suddenly became quiet. He turned around and saw the people under the car looking at him in disbelief.
They knew that Tang Ping's pickup truck drove fast, but it was not from this world. Tang Ping himself said that he couldn't buy it even if he wanted to.
But now this car was actually built in Shanghe Village outside Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.
With the first car, there will be a second and third car.
If you drive 25 kilometers an hour, just follow what Tang Ping said and drop it to 20 kilometers per hour.
This thing can run as long as there is coke, unlike cows and horses that have to rest and eat!
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
20 kilometers per hour, so how much does it cost to drive ten hours a day? 200 kilometers!
400 miles!
In other words, if Datang now builds cement roads all over the country, will it be possible to reach anywhere in Datang from Chang'an in a few days?
Of course, this is just a theory. They have also seen that cement roads work well in flat places, but it is difficult to walk on mountain roads.
And this car will definitely be fast on flat roads, but will definitely be slow on uphill mountain roads.
But it still can't stop the shock that this speed brings to everyone.
"Let's go out and take a walk." Li Shimin opened the rear door and got in.
"Second uncle, this car hasn't been named yet, how about you give it one?" Tang Ping turned around and said with a smile.
"Okay, let's call it..." Li Shimin thought for a while: "Datang No. 1!"
"Okay, let's call him Datang No. 1!"
There are a total of six positions at the back, which were left after Li Shimin went up. But today, there are six ministers who came with Li Shimin, not including prime ministers like Fang Du and Changsun Wuji in Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province.
There are also close to twenty generals like Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Gong.
So who will take the remaining positions?
Duan Lun stood up, glanced at the others proudly and said, "Everyone knows which department will build this car in the future, right? Come on, who is for it and who is against it?"
Everyone looked at each other, and no one objected. Duan Lun was right. This thing must be handed over to the Ministry of Industry for construction in the end.
He is the boss of the Ministry of Industry. He went up to see how the car was doing. There was nothing wrong with it.
So the position is -1!
"This general wants to protect your majesty's safety!" Cheng Zhijie said, and then jumped up with lightning speed.
Others knew he was shameless, but they didn't expect him to be so shameless. They were all people with status here. For Tang Ping, they were basically the people behind Lingyan Pavilion.
Even if everyone wants to go up, they must at least be reasonable like Duan Lun.
Cheng Zhijie, a common man, just ran up and ran up.
To protect His Majesty's safety, His Majesty still needs your protection here? Are the special operations brigade, Secret Spy Division, and Xuanjia Cavalry out there working for a living?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
But there is no way, there are still three positions, and the others are not as thick-skinned as Cheng Zhijie.
Especially for several generals in the army, Cheng Zhijie was rushing to use the reasons to protect His Majesty, and they couldn't even think of a reason for a while.
"Ahem, if you want to build this car in the future, you need to know how much it will cost, so I..." Before Dai Zhou, the Minister of Household Affairs, could finish his words, he was interrupted by Fang Xuanling.
"Put it down. Just ask Tang Ping how much it costs. Can you tell how much this car costs just by sitting on it?"
"Then..." Dai Zhou rolled his eyes, pointed to the position next to Tang Ping and said, "Where are you sitting, I have to calculate the amount of coke consumed by this car!"
The dignified Minister of Household Affairs was willing to add coke to the boiler in order to get on the train!
Everyone saw that he had the tongs for holding the coke in his hands, and it seemed that he didn't intend to hand them over. What else could they do?
So Dai Zhou sat beside Tang Ping proudly.
As for the position of the car in the back, they really couldn't argue, so they all asked Li Shimin to see who was favored more at this time.
Li Shimin looked at it and said angrily: "Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng come up, and the others sit down for two rounds."
A group of guys who have never seen the world, don't they just take a car? What's there to grab?
Fortunately, here are all the important officials of the court and there are no outsiders. Otherwise, if outsiders find out, they will laugh to death.
Li Shimin was so angry that he called several people by their names.
The three of them didn't notice anything. They just cupped their hands and said concessions to the people around them, and then sat down happily.
For this car, Tang Ping and the others paved a more than 300-meter-long stone road behind the village.
When several people were competing for position, Tang Ping started to heat up.
This is also one of the shortcomings of steam engines. It takes a long time to warm up before starting.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Tang Ping said hello and drove out.
Except for Tang Ping, everyone in the car excitedly grabbed the car next to them and looked outside excitedly.
Car, the first steam car of the Tang Dynasty.
With the efforts of Tang Ping, Wang Tieniu and other Datang craftsmen, the perfectly reproduced Watt steam engine burst out with strong power and began to slowly drive Datang One, faster and faster!
