The steam whistle kept sounding, as if urging.
Wang Qian and Zhang Ju looked at the front of the steam locomotive emitting white smoke and ran over quickly.
"Song Duanduan, what are you doing, stop!"
Wang Qian didn't expect that Song Duanduan would lock the car door from the inside. He was grabbing the shovel, smiled at Wang Qian and others, and added another shovelful of coal.
Zhang Ju ran to the front of the car to take a look, and saw Guo Jiale sitting in the front of the car, constantly cranking the engine, no matter how people outside banged it, Guo Jiale didn't look away, just staring at the track ahead.
The news quickly spread to the factory. Although Zhou Chang was a little angry, he saw that Gongshu Qiao had already woken up and the emperor was also there, so it was not easy to get angry in person.
Zhu Yunwen did not mean to blame, but praised: "You must have wisdom and courage to think of using the sound of steam to wake up the old dean. Old dean, do you still have the strength to take a look?"
Gongshuqiao struggled to get up, but his arms had no strength. Zhu Yunwen ordered someone to bring a wheelchair and spread the quilt. The chamberlain picked up Gongshuqiao and placed him in a chair.
Wang Bin, Kuang Yu and others wanted Gongshu Qiao to rest and hurriedly requested.
Gongshuqiao gasped and shook his head slightly at Wang Bin and others: "Let me die by the track. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long. Let me take one last look at the train, look at the tracks, look at this Ming dynasty……"
Zhu Yunwen personally pushed Gongshu Qiao's wheelchair and asked Zhou Chang standing aside: "Has the train test been completed?"
Zhou Chang replied quickly: "According to the test procedures, ten no-load tests and twenty heavy-load tests need to be completed. At present, only the no-load test has been completed, and the heavy-load test has only been carried out five times. The test is expected to be completed before New Year's Day."
"Are there many problems in the test?"
Zhu Yunwen asked.
Zhou Chang thought carefully and introduced them one by one: "In ten no-load tests, thirty-six general problems occurred, and not one major or serious problem occurred. All have been improved and resolved. The first two heavy-load tests found that Forty-two general problems were solved, including two major problems. The major problems mainly occurred in the connecting parts between carriages and the steam engine transmission structure, and have now been resolved."
"There were no problems in the last three heavy-load tests. The train is currently in good condition and is ready for the sixth heavy-load test. During this period, the old dean was on site every time, and more than three people were waiting there. Time. His health is not good to begin with, but..."
Gongshu Qiao laughed and stretched out his hand. Zhou Chang quickly grabbed it and shouted, "Sir."
"How can you manage such an important weapon of the country well without an old man in charge? After me, you have to take on the important task of leading your junior brothers, your classmates and friends, to lay the railway all over the Ming Dynasty, so that the trains can The roar of the steam and the sound of the wind spread throughout the Ming Dynasty."
Gongshu Qiao ordered.
Zhou Chang's eyes were red and he promised: "I will live up to your teacher's teachings and do my best to promote the construction of trains and railways."
Gongshuqiao nodded with satisfaction and turned his head to look behind him.
Zhu Yunwen slowly pushed the wheelchair and said: "Old dean, there is no need to worry about the royal family and the court. Even after I grow old and the prince ascends the throne, I will unswervingly promote the construction of the railway, and the court will still continue to support the craftsman college. This is a national project that spans the past, present and future, and no one can stop it.”….
Gongshu Qiao felt relieved.
As long as the will of the royal family and the court does not change, railways and trains have great potential.
The train roared again.
The carriage door opened.
Guo Jiale and Song Duanduan walked out of it, looked at Gong Shuqiao in the wheelchair, ran over quickly, and knelt down three steps away. "These two stupid children, don't shed tears. They will die of old age, illness, and glory. There will always be a time to leave." Gong Shuqiao looked at Guo Jiale and Song Duanduan who were crying, comforted them, and said with a smile: "Since you have warmed up well, Now, let’s start the sixth test. Don’t crowd around this old man like me, and go prepare yourself.”
"Wait a minute."
Zhu Yunwen stopped everyone, looked at Guo Jiale and Song Duanduan, and said sternly: "I remember that there are regulations in the Craftsman Academy. There is no application, no permission, no
The person in charge signed and was not allowed to start the steam locomotive. You two made a mistake. If you don't punish it, how can you teach others a lesson? "
Guo Jiale immediately replied: "Your Majesty, this is what I did. I coerced Song Duanduan and it has nothing to do with him. But if there is any punishment, I will take it alone!"
Song Duanduan glared at Guo Jiale: "Although the idea is his, he can't pull Qiming without me. I'm willing to accept all punishment!"
Gongshu Qiao remained silent.
Zhu Yunwen scolded with a cold face: "The fact that you two can bypass everyone to start the steam locomotive shows that there are loopholes in the supervision and control of the entire locomotive! This is not the fault of you two, but the fault of all those involved in testing the train. ! Now, I am going to punish you! Tang Buping!"
"exist!"
Tang Buping walked out with a powerful and murderous air.
Gongshu Qiao knew that Zhu Yunwen was right, the train was a national weapon, but because these people fell ill, no one took care of them, and they didn't even know that the locomotive keys had been taken away.
This is also in the second branch. What if it is at a certain station? With such a large loophole, the potential risks are too great.
Li Zhigang was a little anxious and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there is a reason for this negligence. The old dean..."
"Back off!"
Zhu Yunwen did not wait for Li Zhigang to finish speaking, interrupted categorically, and then said to Guo Jiale, Song Duanduan, Zhou Chang and others: "Because of your mistakes, I want to punish you. I will mobilize all personnel immediately and prepare all navigation matters within half an hour. Drive the train from Jubao Gate, through Sanshan Gate, through Mochou Lake, through Jiangdong Gate, and all the way to the Yangtze River!"
"ah?"
Zhou Chang was dumbfounded.
Guo Jiale and Song Duanduan didn't react. Is this - punishment?
Zhu Yunwen looked at Tang Buping: "Inform all officials and people in Jinling about the opening of the train as soon as possible. The Security Bureau is responsible for safety control along the line. No one is allowed to climb over the fence and enter the railway! Today, the train appeared at In front of the world!"
Tang Buping agreed and immediately went to make arrangements.
Seeing that Guo Jiale, Zhou Chang and others were still stunned, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help shouting: "Hurry up and go!"
Zhou Chang kowtowed three times at Zhu Yunzhen. When he got up, his forehead was already red. He stood up and wiped his tears. He shouted: "The Craftsman Academy, the Second Artillery Bureau, the Military War Bureau, the Science and Technology Bureau, everyone present, please follow the navigation instructions." Plans, everyone checks, everyone is in place!"
Everyone agreed in unison and went to prepare.
The navigation plan has been drawn up long ago, and everyone remembers their respective responsibilities.
Everyone is in his place, everyone performs his duties.
Gongshu Qiao looked at the busy people, raised his hand and grabbed Zhu Yunwen's hand, and dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, navigation needs to complete many tests. Now that the tests have not been completed, navigation has been launched rashly, which is against the rules."
