Following Li Yuanzhao's instructions, Fang Zhengyi picked up the fire sickle placed next to the coal stove.
After trying several times, I successfully lit the tinder and threw it into the furnace. After a while, the originally small flame began to ignite.
Li Yuanzhao calmed down and carefully inspected the various facilities for train operation, while still rehearsing in his mind.
Not long after, a thick plume of smoke began to rise from the locomotive's chimney.
When a slight vibration began to be transmitted from the car body to the soles of his feet, Fang Zheng filled the coal even harder.
Regardless of the dust stirred up, regardless of the black smoke pouring out of the coal filling port.
With shovel after shovel, he fell into the furnace with a solemn expression, as if his strength was endless.
At the end of the endless railway track, the steel behemoth weighing tens of millions of kilograms slowly moved out of the station.
The rows of wheels under the car began to spin wildly, and the whole machine roared.
Seeing that Fang Zhengyi had no intention of stopping, Li Yuanzhao quickly yelled at him: "Old Fang, that's enough, there's no need to add more."
The smoke had made Fang Zhengyi's eyes sore, and his fair face had been slightly blackened by the smoke. He only stopped moving when he heard Li Yuanzhao's voice.
Only when he got up did he realize that the train... was already on the tracks.
There was a burst of joy and exclamation in the car behind him.
Fangzheng took a few breaths, straightened his waist and looked out of the window.
Watching the scenery in front of you keep passing by quickly, your heart can't help but beat wildly...
It was successful. Is this the first time you hit the road?
"Lao Fang, go outside and take a look. It's too stuffy here." Li Yuanzhao opened the door of the cab next to him.
There is also a small platform outside the cab for people to stand on, with a protective fence on the outside.
Fang Zhengyi remained silent and quickly walked out to the small platform. He held his hand on the railing and stretched his head to look around.
Li Yuanzhao came right behind him and stood beside him, swallowing saliva.
The vibration of the car body and the sound of the wheels under his feet all strongly stimulated Fang Zhengyi's nerves.
As the strong wind blew, his long hair on the temples was messed up, and the hands holding the railing were clenched and turned white.
The two stood side by side quietly.
After a long time, Li Yuanzhao's trembling voice sounded: "It's been five minutes, there is no problem with smooth operation, we succeeded... Lao Fang, we should have succeeded."
Success....
Fang Zhengyi's expression was stiff, his lips pursed tightly, and he stared straight ahead.
Whether it was the excitement in his heart or the strong wind, his eyes were filled with tears.
An unprecedented, clear and powerful feeling of changing the world struck his mind.
This feeling is something that no great figure in history has ever had, and it is his unique 'privilege'.
Historical geniuses such as Watt, Newton, and Einstein have all used technological theories to profoundly change the world.
Do they realize they have changed the world? Of course!
But there is absolutely no one like Fang Zhengyi, a time traveler who has such a clear vision of the future and such profound feelings.
It was a success, and this era-changing product was officially born under his leadership!
Two completely different eras are firmly connected by the railway!
The world has one foot on the fast track of development, and it is foreseeable that we will usher in the industrial age in the next few decades.
Then capital will exert its power and materials will explode, and the world will develop exponentially!
Countless poor people will benefit from this, and countless weak people will survive from this.
And such a great achievement was realized in the palm of my hand?
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but have strong feelings in his chest, and his heart surged, and at the same time it turned over and over again.
Yao Xiang thought that along the way, what time travel brought him was never joy, but endless pain.
The longing for hometown, the harsh environment, the heavy responsibilities on the shoulders, and the fierce conflict of values.
All of this brought him countless tormenting and sleepless nights.
How many times had he imagined in his mind that he would leave behind the people who begged him, leave behind this heart-wrenching world, and die again.
But in the end, faced with those eyes that were numb and more painful than him, he finally chose to detach himself.
He tore off his poor modern dignity, gritted his teeth, persisted, risked his own life, and led a group of refugees to fight a bloody road.
In the end, Taoyuan County was created with scars all over his body.
At this point, he thought he was living peacefully in the Peach Blossom Land, but unexpectedly Emperor Jing brought him back to reality.
He couldn't refuse. The fundamental reason was that he couldn't forget his identity.
A soul that transcends time and space is observing and looking down at the world all the time, and at the same time empathizes with it.
Outside the Peach Blossom Spring is still full of pain and barrenness... He has the ability but dare not rush out and change.
Emperor Jing gave him a reason, and he decided to hit the road without hesitation.
Now he has done it and profoundly changed the world.
As Fang Zheng faced the wind and light, his expression gradually softened, revealing a look of nostalgia.
Thinking of his past life, he was just a mediocre little person.
When I was in my teens, I was full of fantasies about the world, full of passion, self-righteousness, disobedience and contempt for everything, and always wanted to change the world.
When I was in college, the passion was still there, but there was a lot more anxiety and confusion. I always hope someone can give me guidance. But still on the road to success.
On the one hand, I feel red-eyed when facing successful people, but on the other hand, I lament that I was not born at the right time.
After work, all the energy faded away, and all that was left was to survive...
But he didn't expect that in another world, he would achieve his own success and complete a great deed that could span the ages!
He is worthy of pride. He has stuck to his own values and has not forgotten why he set out in the first place just because he has gone too far.
Unfortunately....
"Lao Fang! We succeeded! We really succeeded! Everything is normal now without any problems, and there will never be any problems later!"
Li Yuanzhao was still holding his watch attentively, with overflowing excitement and tears in his eyes.
He understands the value of the train better than anyone else. After all, he participated in its creation.
He has no grand ideals or historical perspective, just pure love.
And...young people's desire for endless possibilities.
I have fantasized about the scene of a speeding train countless times in my dreams, and now my dream has finally come true.
But when he wanted to step forward and couldn't help but hug Fang Zhengyi, his movements stalled.
"Old Fang, you..."
Fang Zheng slowly turned his head, his handsome face was already covered with tears, and several gullies were plowed out of the soot on his face.
"My parents would be happy if they could see what I have achieved today."
Li Yuanzhao was shocked!
"Yes, they will..." Big tears fell from Li Yuanzhao's eyes. He wanted to hug Fang Zhengyi, but in the end he only held his hand.
The two looked at each other speechlessly.
