When the first locomotive came out, the emperor asked Yan Bao to go and see it. It was covered with red cloth. When the red cloth was uncovered, it was a little different from the train Yan Bao remembered.

The colors are different.

But the shape is similar.

There is only one carriage and it is currently in the testing phase. This is a big deal and the emperor wants Yan Bao to witness the first locomotive being built.

The railway station was built outside the city.

The city is crowded and every inch of land is valuable.

The train station occupies a large area and is noisy, so it is best to choose one outside the city.

The capital city has both city walls and moats. If we want to extend the train into the city, we will need to demolish the walls and build a bridge. This is a huge project and after much consideration, it is not cost-effective.

Yan Bao looked at the brand new train and gave the emperor a thumbs up.

The emperor smiled triumphantly: "It's worth all the effort I've put into building this first train."

Yan Bao didn't expect that they would be able to do it in just over a year.

Although it only had a locomotive and a carriage, it was built anyway.

As the train whistle blew, the emperor took Yan Bao on the train.

The door design and the carriage are exactly the same as the train in Yan Bao's memory.

They are made according to first-hand information.

This train is a chopped pepper fish head train.

Yanbao usually has 118 seats, but this one has 18.

They will cut corners.

Yan Bao could understand that there was almost no industry at that time. It took the whole country's efforts and more than a year to get 18 positions, which was already a rare achievement.

There are limited seats. The only people who can get on the train are the two people who drive the train, the emperor, Yan Bao, Xie Zhiluo, Ah Huai who builds the train, Prime Minister Shen, and five other cabinet ministers.

The rest are guards.

As the train started, the people on board leaned forward.

Yan Bao also staggered forward.

Xie Zhiluo was quick to grab Yan Bao's arm and said, "Be careful!"

Yan Bao nodded with a smile.

Chief Minister Shen's eyes widened as he looked at Xie Zhiluo who had grabbed his hand and wouldn't let go, and he coughed lightly as a warning.

Xie Zhiluo could only silently withdraw his hand, his eyes falling on Yan Bao who was looking out the window curiously, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Ah Huai scratched his fingers nervously, hoping nothing would happen, nothing would happen, everything had to go smoothly.

I've tried so many times, I'm sure it will work!

Yan Bao looked at the nervous Ah Huai, patted his shoulder soothingly, and gave him a look that said, "Don't worry, nothing will be wrong."

For some reason, Ah Huai suddenly felt relieved.
