Several old men looked at the woman in front of them with lustful eyes.
The clothes he wore were very neat and he also had a unique little hat on his head.
The most important thing is the tube skirt on the lower body, which reveals half of the white calves!
This should be the work of Fang Zhengyi, this dress is quite similar to a cheongsam.
"Wait, you said we are going to Taoyuan County by bus?" Li Yansong was the first to react.
We were originally holding a court meeting, but were tricked into coming here. Now it was said that we were going to test drive the car, but we ended up going to Taoyuan County?
Are you kidding me? I only spent a day there and back, and I still have work to do.
The others couldn't help but frown.
The attendant said with some embarrassment: "Master Fang did arrange it this way. We have prepared casual clothes for you all on the train. They will be delivered to you later. If you need to find Master Fang..."
"Go down and follow his arrangements." Li Yansong waved his hand helplessly.
Well, let's just delay it for a day, after all, His Majesty is also here...
Inside the VIP carriage, the locomotive driver's cab in front was still busy.
Here, a flight attendant also came to report. After she left, Emperor Jing looked at Fang Zheng and said, "Zhengyi, this woman's clothes are quite revealing. Isn't that inappropriate?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I asked the best craftsmen to design the flight attendant uniforms. They are both beautiful and practical. You are probably just not used to the new style for the time being."
Emperor Jing nodded slightly and continued to look out the window expectantly.
Little did they know that this was all specially arranged by Fang Zhengyi. In the future, flight attendants will surely be one of the most popular and high-end professions in Dajing.
It is no exaggeration to say that their status and position were higher than that of flight attendants in later generations.
Getting a new and trendy uniform will surely attract others to follow suit.
The world has progressed, women should dress cooler...
After a while, a wisp of thick smoke began to slowly emerge from the chimney of the locomotive.
Then the car body began to vibrate.
Emperor Jing, who sensed something unusual, looked as if he was facing a great enemy, and his right hand unconsciously grasped the armrest of the sofa.
Although I haven't seen the full picture of the train yet, I can imagine its size by being in it.
If such a huge creature were to move on its own, what kind of power would that require?
Looking at Li Yuanzhao who was still kneeling on the ground, Emperor Jing said in a deep voice: "Get up, stop making faces!"
Li Yuanzhao stood up with a smile and shamelessly sat next to Emperor Jing.
As he was speaking, the vibration had already begun to spread to other parts of the car.
Li Yansong and others who had been admiring the scenery outside the window suddenly saw that the scenery seemed to be slowly receding, and they immediately exclaimed: "It's moving, the car is moving!"
Zheng Qiao, Zhang Dongxiang and the others looked towards the windows beside them urgently, only to see the surrounding scenery starting to recede faster and faster until it finally felt like an illusion, with a bit more horror in their eyes...
"It really moved, but this... this car... how can it be so stable!?"
People in other carriages had roughly the same reaction. The carriage was noisy and the emotions were even more intense due to the large number of people.
Many people have left their seats and are trying hard to put their heads close to the glass windows and look down, trying to get a clear view.
"Amazing! It's really amazing! This speed is as fast as a galloping horse."
"Yes, and there is no bump at all. This is probably the use of railroad tracks. If it were a road, it would definitely be very bumpy."
"That's good, but...how long can it run? Can it really run as far as Taoyuan County?"
The initial fear caused by the shaking of the train had long been completely overwhelmed by the excitement and curiosity.
Emperor Jing was completely relaxed at this moment. He leaned on the sofa, stared out the window and murmured, "Zhengyi, this car is going so fast, it won't flip over, right?"
Fang Zhengyi laughed secretly in his heart.
Fast? This train might be extremely fast in the eyes of ordinary people, but in his eyes, it was extremely slow.
Compared with electric cars, it is simply the new national standard in the train industry.
It's about 35 yards per hour, which is faster than the normal horse speed.
If a horse runs at full speed, it can reach a speed of 60 or 70 kilometers per hour, which is obviously beyond the reach of current trains.
Its biggest advantage is its durability.
However, even with such a slow speed, Fang Zhengyi was satisfied. After all, the steam engine skipped the improvement stage and went straight to the practical stage.
As for safety issues....
"I have already formed a special railway protection team to check the railway conditions. And before the train we are on set off, another train was sent to check the road conditions. Your Majesty, rest assured."
Emperor Jing breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What is the principle behind this? Don't keep me in suspense."
Fang Zheng pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, since Your Majesty is so eager to know, then I will tell you. It's simple to explain."
He pointed to the teapot on the table and said, "Your Majesty should know that when boiling water, the steam will push the lid of the teapot open. This is the principle used by trains to drive the wheels under the train."
"In other words, you can simply imagine the locomotive in front as a giant kettle."
Emperor Jing was dumbfounded: "It's... just that simple?!"
Thousands of ideas had already flashed through his mind, even magical spells, but the result was just a simple steam?
How can a mere steam have such magical power?
Fang Zhengyi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am just speaking simply, but this is not simple at all."
"How to use the power of steam is very complicated. What kind of structural materials to use, how much pressure to control, how to transmit the power... Each of these problems will cost countless manpower and resources."
"We have to say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made a huge contribution to this!"
"Oh?" Emperor Jing glanced sideways.
Li Yuanzhao pretended to be shy and coy.
He learned, he evolved!
Now is the time to show off your achievements. Even though you may feel proud, you must not be arrogant. It is best to appear humble.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince participated in the development of the train very early on. Many of the important internal structures and ideas were contributed by Your Highness. Without Your Highness, this train might not have been released until now." Fang Zheng said with a smile.
Emperor Jing looked at Li Yuanzhao and said calmly, "He is still a useful person and can do something."
Li Yuanzhao sneered at first, but when Emperor Jingdi cast a murderous look at him, he quickly sat up straight.
"In fact, the greatest contributor here is none other than Your Majesty," Fang Zheng added upon seeing this.
"I?" Emperor Jing had confusion in his eyes.
"If Your Majesty had not personally laid the first shovel for the railway, how could the test run today have gone so smoothly? This is all thanks to Your Majesty's wisdom and bravery."
"Since the railway opened to traffic, no problems have been found. Everything is going smoothly. This is enough to prove that it is all thanks to your majesty and the blessing of the dragon spirit!"
