Chapter 935: The Tang Tribe Should Change Its Name After
a short meeting, Luo Chong decided on the production plan for locomotives in the future.
Eleven trains are the rigid demand of the Han Tribe at present. This is a plan that must be completed. As for how many trains will be built in the future, it depends on future development, but there will definitely be more and more.
In the remaining journey of the New Wei Line North Line, more people were encountered. In the last section of the journey, a total of four counties in Weishan County will be crossed. Every time they arrive at a county town, there will be people lining the streets to welcome them. Luo Chong and his team also stood on the train and greeted the people enthusiastically.
This trial run not only shows the changes that will happen to the Han Tribe in the future, but also a political inspection for Luo Chong to enhance his prestige, so that the people along the way know that the leader has brought the elites of the tribe to make a good thing for everyone.
The small train whirred and spewed green smoke and steam, all the way to the dock cargo yard of Weishan County, which is the terminus of the New Wei Line North Line and the midpoint of the entire New Wei Line. It's just that the South Line has not yet been completed.
"Chief, look at the wall in front of you. We have arrived at the county town of Weishan County!" Lin Fei stood at the door of the carriage, holding the railing and leaning out half of his body.
"Huh?!"
Luo Chong was stunned, and immediately leaned out to look ahead. Sure enough, he saw the wall of Weishan County, and it was approaching quickly. The driver of the front car had already blown the whistle to warn passers-by to stay away from the track. They were about to enter the station.
But the time was wrong!
Luo Chong turned his head and looked at the mechanical clock in the carriage. The time displayed on it should be only 2:20 in the afternoon. They set off at 8 o'clock in the morning, and it was six hours by 2 o'clock. Six hours and 20 minutes, and they were about to enter the station?
Originally, everyone had a very conservative estimate that this car would be able to complete the journey in four hours with such a heavy load. Unexpectedly, they underestimated the strength of this front car? !
Wuuuuuuuuuuu————
The whistle sounded loudly, and the driver began to slow down in the last few hundred meters. The train gradually slowed down, and finally slowed down to a walking speed, until it arrived at the terminal station and stopped, and then braked.
Luo Chong looked at the clock one last time. This time the time was about 2:28 pm. Due to the problem of accuracy, there might be errors, but even if it was 2:30 pm, from 8 am to 2:30 pm, it was a total of six and a half hours, and the whole journey was 176 kilometers.
Luo Chong quickly calculated in his mind, and the average speed reached 28 kilometers per hour!
"56 kilometers per hour! It seems to be faster than you expected!" Luo Chong immediately calculated the result and told everyone.
"Yes, Chief, I didn't expect this car to run so fast! I even prayed to God all the way. It doesn't matter if it runs slower, as long as there is no malfunction halfway and the train breaks down. I am thankful that I can run the whole journey." Lin Fei looked at the time displayed by the mechanical clock in the carriage and the full score of the Endeavour train. He said excitedly.
The other county magistrates were not as excited as him, because what everyone cared about was not the speed, but the fact that this car could really pull so many things with only two people burning the fire, which was already amazing.
As for whether it is four hours or three hours, what does it mean? Anyway, it's all the same.
Twenty-eight kilometers per hour, in fact, it's OK. Luo Chong was not too excited, but in order not to discourage the people in their research institute, he still said generously.
"Well, this trial run not only successfully completed the task, but also made the Endeavour run a good result that exceeded the design indicators. I will give a great merit to all the personnel in your institute who participated in this project, and re-evaluate their titles at the end of the year!
"And Dali, all the workers in your steel mill and locomotive manufacturing plant will also receive a half-month salary increase as a reward, so that everyone can work hard and teach the new apprentices well. If they complete the task of training apprentices on time, they will receive an extra month's salary and be awarded a merit. At the end of the year, they will be re-evaluated and promoted to a higher rank."
"Yes, thank you, Chief!"
Dali and Lin Fei immediately came to Luo Chong, and they saluted Luo Chong respectfully.
The train gradually stopped, and the people in the last three carriages began to get off the train. Luo Chong led everyone to take photos in front of the train. After the ceremony, the unloading of the train began.
All the steel bars and cement must be loaded onto the sailboats parked here, ready to be transported to the construction site of the cross-sea bridge.
The small flying fish is also parked here. Tang Yao will take this boat home in a while. Going south with Mo Xin's dozen craftsmen who are responsible for making the palace model and the models they made are also going south. With their participation, I believe the construction speed of the palace should be faster.
You Fu also had to take this express boat. He was also tasked with finding coal around the Tang tribe. This was related to the construction of the second steel smelting base of the Han tribe in the future, and whether the Han tribe could have manganese steel with higher hardness. If there was manganese steel, the rails of the heavy-duty railway would no longer be a dream.
As for the difficulty of building the railway? We can build it slowly in the future. Luo Chong was not in a hurry now, after all, he was still young.
The stevedores at the dock were using a lever crane to lift bags of cement and steel bars. On Luo Chong's side, his own guards were also helping Tang Yao and the others move things. There were many people on the Xiao Feiyu express boat this time. For example, the families of the craftsmen of Mo Xin had to settle in Takuhai County together. Otherwise, they would definitely not be able to come back before the capital was built. We couldn't let them live apart for several years.
On the deck of the Xiao Feiyu, Luo Chong stood by the side of the boat and said goodbye to Tang Yao.
"If nothing goes wrong, it should be very fast to go back this time. When we have more fast ships like this in the future, it will be easy for you to go home.
But it probably won't take long. When the palace in the west of Takumi County is built, I will move there with my whole family. When you want to go home, I will go back with you. We can take the train all the way to your door. What do you think?"
"Well, thank you Luo Chong. I will get things done quickly when I go back this time. When I inherit the position of leader of Queen Ji, I will marry you."
Tang Yao opened her big watery eyes and looked at Luo Chong seriously.
Luo Chong didn't say anything, but directly hugged her in his arms and hugged her tightly for a while, and then he and Tang Yao said goodbye to each other.
At the dock, Luo Chong got off the boat and stood on the pier to wave at Tang Yao. Tang Yao also stood by the boat and waved at Luo Chong.
The next time they meet, the Tang tribe should not be called the Tang tribe. Should it be renamed and a state or something? So what state should it be called?
Luo Chong thought secretly.
PS: Think quickly, what is the state called? I will wait for your reply tomorrow.
