Li Xin couldn't help but exclaim, "The advantage of this steam train is that it facilitates the transportation of goods and people. Just think about it, it can pull sixteen carriages carrying coal, totaling more than 300,000 jin (150 tons). If it were to transport people, how many could it carry?"

I think we can move into the mass production stage now.
Xu Jianyin, how are the preparations for mass production going? When can we start?
