The car behind him has fallen into another kind of silence.
The steam after the carnival left everyone speechless, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window with tears in their eyes.
A project with a development cycle of more than ten years, a result that shocked the whole world, was born in the hands of a group of unknown people.
At first, this was just an idea of Fang Zhengyi.
He told everyone that there is a kind of car in the world that can walk by itself and transport countless goods. With this kind of car, they can live a life that they can't even imagine in their dreams.
If it were ordinary people, they would never believe that there is a car that can walk on its own in the world.
But the person who spoke was Fang Zhengyi, so they believed it!
They all say that there are fireworks in the world, but there was only smoke in their lives before. It was Fangzheng who brought fire.
No matter when they encounter any difficulties, Fang Zhengyi will always be in front of them.
From nothing to something, from poverty to wealth, this patron saint has created countless miracles.
They have no reason not to believe it, and they will never allow themselves not to believe it!
Then it started with a kettle, and Fang Zhengyi personally started this research path.
There are countless difficulties and problems in the process. The manuscript paper they calculated can be spread all over Taoyuan County, and the workpieces cast can be piled up in all the warehouses of Dongjiao University.
Many people have thought about giving up. The road in front of them is simply a long and rugged road with no bottom.
And the road is full of fog traps...
But everyone finally persisted, because there was always a lighthouse standing at the end of the road.
Today, they proved their worth and achieved Fang Zhengyi’s goal.
Satisfaction, excitement, happiness, and expectation are all at this moment.
The painter in the carriage, who was fearful at the beginning, now seems to have become more deeply affected by the emotions of the group.
....
The test section has reached the end and the train slowly stops.
Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao jumped out of the car at the same time. With the help of Mei Hui, the two of them had become big faces.
At his greeting, everyone began to step off the fire one by one.
However, his expression could not hide his excitement.
Fang Zhengyi raised his hands and said, "Congratulations to everyone, our train was finally successfully launched today. In order to record this moment of making history, I specially called the painters from Dongda University, and we asked them to collectively make a painting here. Save it for posterity! Now stand in three rows behind me.”
Everyone was in an uproar and deeply moved.
Only then did Li Yuanzhao suddenly realize that this was the purpose of leading the painter.
"Old Fang, you are still thoughtful."
Fang Zheng grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, took out a small notebook from his chest and waved it in front of his eyes.
"This is not enough. I want to find someone to compile history! Compile a history of railways. The list of all the people who participated in the construction of railway trains is here. No one will be missed."
"You are the real heroes."
Li Yuanzhao nodded and smiled and patted his shoulder, and then the two of them walked to an open place.
All personnel in the steam station began to line up automatically.
Although most of the painters still don't understand what happened, this moment is obviously extremely serious.
Everyone showed great enthusiasm, took out the drawing board and charcoal and sat down on the floor to start painting in different areas.
In just one and a half hours, a world-famous painting that will play an important role in later generations was born.
In the center of the picture, Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao are sitting next to each other, while behind them on the left and right are many research institute personnel.
Everyone was smiling and making V signs with their hands.
This action caused a wave of photo imitation in later generations, which lasted for a long time.
But as to why everyone holds up two fingers in a V shape, what is the specific meaning of this action is another unsolved mystery that has kept countless scholars awake at night...
.......
In Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Jing asked about politics as usual.
The Ministry of Household and Military Affairs and several cabinet officials were sitting on the lower chair, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy.
Feng Jie reported: "Your Majesty, due to the shortage of pig iron in the market today, the price of iron is still rising steadily. Compared with the previous two months, it has doubled again. Now our Ministry of War, Ministry of Industry and the Royal Academy of Sciences are jointly casting new cannons. Because The price of iron has skyrocketed, and the technology is not fully mature. The 370,000 taels of silver originally approved are no longer enough."
"Master Xu is here today. Can you send an additional 200,000 taels to the Ministry of War to deal with emergencies? I have already reported it before. Guns and artillery are a major national defense matter and cannot be delayed for one day. Please give me an accurate answer."
Xu Wenshu expressed his embarrassment: "There is no war at the moment, so let's slow it down if we can. The main problem is the railway. After two months, we will have iron. Besides, the development and construction of new ships, before the Ministry of Revenue, Three million taels of silver have just been allocated not long ago, so we really can’t make adjustments within the Ministry of War.”
Feng Jie was slightly angry: "Sir Xu, one code will be returned to the other, and the sailors will be returned to the sailors. Should I still wait for that Lao Shizi railway for military and national affairs? The manufacturing of weapons cannot be stopped. Our entire army in Da Jing needs to update its equipment, and the progress must not be delayed. .”
Emperor Jing tapped the imperial desk lightly and said with a headache: "Stop arguing now. You have been saying this in front of me over and over again these past two days. Don't you want me to stop demolishing the railway immediately?"
"I have already said in court that I will give Fang Zheng a month or two, no joke! My dear friends, you might as well wait. When he completes the railway construction, there will be countless refined iron."
Several veterans looked at each other.
Li Yansong gave a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I am really not forcing you to do this. I don't understand why your Majesty allows Mr. Fang to continue the nonsense even though he knows it is nonsense? The railway protection of the country is obviously just a theory of strange power and chaos."
"I believe that your Majesty also dismisses these claims."
Facing the questioning looks of the old ministers, Emperor Jing looked embarrassed, struggled for a long time and said with difficulty.
"Railway construction... is my first project..."
"???!!"
The eyes of a group of old men suddenly became dull.
It turns out that you were the first one to do it. No wonder this mess has been delayed for so long without being resolved.
It all makes sense now.
This project was started by the emperor. Wouldn't it be a slap in the emperor's face if it was abandoned halfway?
It's hard to get off the tiger now. If you can, you'll have to delay...
There was silence in the Nuan Pavilion, and no one dared to speak.
Emperor Jing's face turned red, he sat there holding the teacup and staring at the teapot.
But at this moment, Guo Tianyang suddenly came in to break the awkwardness, and reported with a look of surprise: "Your Majesty, this servant has found out."
Emperor Jing coughed lightly: "Railway, right? There's no need to be secretive. Let's just talk about the specific situation here."
Guo Tianyang responded and said: "It took a lot of effort for me to send people to check the railway. Jin Yiwei has been strictly guarding against Dongchang's prying."
"Later, I sent people to Dongjiao University and accidentally discovered that a painter knew the inside story here and found out about the railway. However, the painter said a few words and realized that he had been tricked and refused to disclose it again..."
Emperor Jing said irritably: "Just tell me the result, what is the purpose of the railway?"
"Hey! I heard that they are researching a car that can run on its own!"
Emperor Jing: "..."
