However, the lines they saw were arranged in the same way, and what extended in one direction was not other things, but railroad tracks!
This kind of railway track goes from here to the South Gate of Xudu. There is a sign here, which is similar to the sign of a station. It says that it is the Incubation Base of Xudu, and at the South Gate of Xudu is the South Gate of Xudu Station. .
It is the same as the buses of later generations, with exclusive lines and stop signs.
Such is the case with public transport lines.
If there are rails, then the next thing you should see is the objects galloping on the rails.
With curiosity, everyone wandered around the Xudu Incubation Base.
After Cao Cao and his party reached the station, a shocking presence appeared in front of them.
As they moved, what appeared in front of them was a huge object with a somewhat strange appearance, and after seeing such a thing, all of them showed a shocked expression.
"This……"
"What is this?"
"Isn't this the carport?"
"It seems so!"
"..."
After seeing such a situation, everyone began to speculate one by one.
Cao Ang looked at the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, and there was a faint smile on his face.
They don't know that such objects are naturally very normal.
What appeared before their eyes was the developed steam train.
The appearance of this steam train is not the same as that kind of large steam train, but a brand new style, and more importantly, this steam train is relatively small in comparison.
The punk steam train was very big, but what appeared in front of them now was a relatively small steam train.
It consists of a front, and then there is a carriage at the back.
After seeing such a picture, everyone was filled with curiosity.
After Zhuge Liang saw such a picture, he also directly undertook the entire task of explaining.
The composition of this steam train is very simple, it is composed of three parts: the rails, the steam locomotive, and the wooden carriage.
And it is this wooden carriage that follows behind for carrying people and pulling goods.
There are two rows of seats in the wooden carriage. There are ten seats in total, but the maximum number of people it can carry is 20 people, and the maximum load-bearing capacity is about three tons.
The wooden carriage looks very strong and has a heavy feeling.
"I tell King Wei, the steam carriage is now in front of us! Just like his appearance, it looks like the shed behind the carriage, but it's amazing that this is a carriage without horses!"
...
Chapter 380 The Gospel of the Common People
"It is the steam engine that provides the power for the whole process, and all the coal is burned, so this kind of vehicle is also called a train! After the steam engine was developed, the technology of this steam engine has become more and more mature. It has reached a condition that can be used for transportation!"
"After accumulating a lot of experience, this steam car was developed by us, and it was quite successful after testing!"
Zhuge Liang introduced them one by one.
This steam car is not the same as a train, it is similar to a tram, but what it uses is the steam engine, which burns coal.
Such a breakthrough naturally had Cao Ang's suggestion, and under such circumstances, Zhuge Liang was responsible for the creation.
Of course, Cao Ang was generally responsible for the modification, and Zhuge Liang built it according to what Cao Ang said.
Can you move without using a horse?
This is the first time they have heard of such a situation, and it is the first time they have seen such a thing.
For Cao Cao and the others, the steam car was a rare thing. After all, it was the first time they saw such a situation, and it was the first time they saw such an object.
It is precisely because they have never seen it that they all expressed doubts about such a thing.
If such a thing was put before, Cao Cao would definitely cut it off without saying a word.
But Cao Cao at this time is very aware of the truth of this, and he understands the steam engine even more.
In addition, this thing was proposed by his own son, and he firmly believed in this point.
Although Cao Cao believed in his son very much in his heart, he didn't particularly believe in this thing, so he asked again: "What is the function of this steam car?"
Although it is clear how the steam car works now, Cao Cao is not particularly clear about the purpose of the steam car.
Zhuge Liang heard the words, and then said again: "Reporting to the king of Wei, this steam car has a wide range of uses. It can be used to quickly mobilize troops and transport luggage during wartime. place! Of course, the prerequisite for doing these things is to have railroad tracks!"
"If it is peaceful, this steam car can be used to carry passengers! This steam car is on the rails, and it goes back and forth between two points. This steam car can carry up to 200 people, and the carrying capacity of this day is all There can be as many as 4000 people!"
"Under such circumstances, the cost of transportation will be greatly reduced, and even the cost of transportation can be saved under such circumstances!"
"At the same time, after the transportation is convenient, the flow of people in various places will also increase. The increase in the flow of people is directly reflected in the promotion of economic development. Only after economic development can the prosperity of business be promoted!"
"We now have three steam cars. If all the places in Xudu, especially the center of the center, are all laid with rail tracks, and then run in circles, it will increase people's travel speed and shorten people's travel time. Look at it like this It’s also very good to come!”
Cao Ang nodded in satisfaction after hearing Zhuge Liang's words.
Zhuge Liang listened to all the important points he said, and expressed them very well.
"What Kong Ming said is very clear. It's meaningless to say more now. Why don't you take advantage of this time and this opportunity to go up and experience it!"
Under Cao Ang's suggestion, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu and more than a dozen people all came to the steam car under the leadership of Zhuge Liang.
Under the gaze of everyone, the steam car roared.
Stock woo woo woo!
Boom!
The steam car was soon started under the action of the steam engine.
Everyone present was shocked one by one, this situation was shocking to them and couldn't be more shocking.
How could they have thought that such a thing could move?
Just like what Zhuge Liang said just now, this steam carriage can run so fast without a horse.
