"I don't know where I come from, and I don't know how I got here."
That's absolutely right.
"Turn the speed up to the maximum, turn the horsepower up to the maximum, let's see how fast this car can go."
"Yes..." It was clear that Song Yingxing was very happy.
The train had been running for more than half an hour, and its speed was still slower than Jiang Tian's Ferghana horse.
However, this train is long-lasting.
You can keep running at this speed.
But warhorses are different; like humans, it's impossible for them to maintain a high speed all the time.
Warhorses can typically only maintain a high speed for ten to thirty minutes before they have to slow down.
The horse can only continue galloping once it has rested properly.
The train has left Ling Yunzhi and his group behind.
Two long, drawn-out whistles sounded again, and the people on the carriage quickly added carbon to the boiler.
The train was going faster and faster.
The road ahead became increasingly bumpy.
Jiang Tian and Xue'er sat on the train, feeling their bottoms ache from the jolting.
"Slow down, slow down... slow down quickly..." Jiang Tian looked at Xue'er clinging to him. Xue'er was so frightened that her face turned pale and her whole body was trembling.
"My lord, we can't slow down anymore; this speed won't be reduced anytime soon."
"Think of a way..."
"promise……"
Suddenly, a large slope appeared in front of the road.
The train sped forward like a wild horse.
Thud...
The wheel seemed to have run over something, and with a crack, the beam broke.
Bang bang... The other wheels ran over the stone they had just hit.
The car body took off, rising two or three meters off the ground.
Jiang Tian and Xue'er in the carriage suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness, and Xue'er's already pale face became even paler.
With a loud crash, the carriage slammed onto the road.
It was smashed to pieces.
The two men in charge of the boiler rolled down the hillside.
Song Yunxing rolled on the ground seven or eight times before finally getting up and heading straight for Jiang Tian.
"My lord, are you alright? My lord, are you alright?" Song Yingxing was terrified, his face turning deathly pale.
Jiang Tian looked at Xue'er in his arms: "Xue'er, are you hurt? Are you alright?"
Princess Xue'er nodded vigorously. Although the little girl was quite frightened, she was also clearly excited.
Ling Yunzhi and Chen Feilong led 100 guard cavalrymen to charge over.
"Damn it, you're asking for death..." Ling Yunzhi and Chen Feilong pointed their sabers at Song Yingxing.
"What are you two doing? Go back." Jiang Tian was increasingly realizing that Song Yingxing was a real talent, a tech whiz.
Such talented people should not be treated like this.
"My lord, this guy wants you dead. He has ill intentions, and we suspect he is a spy for the rebel army."
Song Yingxing was obtained by Jiang Tian at the cost of 500,000 anger points; he could not possibly be a spy.
"Alright, I know exactly what's going on." Jiang Tian waved to Ling Yunzhi and Chen Feilong, "Send someone to the city to bring a few carriages to take us back."
Song Yingxing knelt down in front of Jiang Tian with a thud.
"Get up quickly! What are you doing? Go check if there's anything wrong with my steam engine."
Jiang Tian held Song Yingxing, a leading figure in the technology industry, in high esteem and greatly valued him.
Song Yingxing scrambled and crawled to the steam engine.
The fire inside the steam engine's boiler was still burning.
Scalding hot air kept billowing out.
"You be careful, kid, don't get hurt!" Jiang Tian yelled at Song Yingxing.
"It's alright, my lord, thankfully the steam engine isn't broken." Song Yingxing's face was flushed red from the steam, but he looked very happy.
...
Flying Fox City.
Jiang Tian's residence.
Princess Xue'er was left alone in her empty room.
Song Yingxing, along with his dozen or so apprentices, sat in the spacious reception room.
"I want both the steam engine and the motor." Jiang Tian had witnessed the power of the steam engine.
Although the steam engine was bulky, its power was undeniable.
Whether it's a gasoline engine or a diesel engine, it's already quite remarkable if it can pull a whole vehicle.
But the steam engine is completely different. The steam engine has an extremely strong carrying capacity and can pull trains at high speed.
"promise……"
"As for the train you mentioned, it needs to be improved and the carriage needs to be reinforced."
"Make the steam engine do more work."
Jiang Tian dipped a quill pen in ink and quickly sketched the shape of a train on the paper.
Although the drawing was very rough, Jiang Tian listened to Song Yingxing while drawing, and all of them, a dozen or so people, could hear it clearly and understand it perfectly.
"Rest assured, my lord, as long as we do our best, we will be able to build another train in another half month."
"Just tell me what you need. Flying Fox City, no, the entire Ji Province will do everything in its power to meet your requirements."
"promise……"
Princess Cheryl's room.
Princess Xue'er glanced at Zijuan and Xueyan behind her.
The little girl let out a long sigh.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder.
She and Jiang Tian had been separated for more than a month.
This is precisely the time when dry wood should be igniting a passionate flame, and the two should be inseparable.
However, Princess Xue'er never expected that as soon as Jiang Tian arrived at the mansion, he would be so focused on getting involved with that Song Yingxing.
"Zijuan, Xueyan... do you think I'm beautiful?" Xue'er looked at herself in the mirror.
