Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 390 Arrival

Yang Biao, Zhong Yao and others didn't understand why Lu Bu, who had always loved the people, was so harsh on the railway track. Now sitting on this Tai Chi car, they finally understood that the operation of this Tai Chi car was obviously highly dependent on the rails. Once the rails were Damage, the car may have simply flipped over.

Thinking of the consequences, many people became nervous. If something went wrong, their lives would be at risk.

"Liu Lieutenant, this Tai Chi car seems to be very fast. How many days will it take to get to Luoyang?" Liu Xie lay on the window, facing the wind and watching the scenery outside the window quickly passing by. On both sides of the railway track, there were fences that blocked people from approaching. Occasionally, the fences could be seen. Behind, the people looked bewildered as the Tai Chi cars whizzed by, feeling uncontrollably excited.

"This locomotive can travel about a hundred miles in an hour. Chang'an is 700 miles away from Luoyang, so we can get there in seven hours." Lu Bu replied with a smile.

"Seven hours?" Liu Xie turned around and looked at Lu Bu in disbelief.

But Lu Bu nodded affirmatively.

Now, Liu Xie was not the only one who was shocked. Even those who had followed Lu Bu to Beigong City before were also shocked by this speed.

You must know that when riding a horse, the horse must rest. It can cover seventy or eighty miles in a day. For ordinary people, it takes about ten days at least to travel from Chang'an to Luoyang. Even urgent documents from the court must be delivered as quickly as possible, and horses must be changed along the way. Without changing people, it would take three to five days. The speed of seven hours is a bit unbelievable.

But looking at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, all this seems to be natural. After all, you can travel more in one hour than in a day on horseback. A galloping horse running at full speed in a short period of time may be able to keep up with the speed of this Tai Chi car, but even if it is Even when Red Rabbit is at its peak, it is impossible to keep running at full speed, but Tai Chi Car can always maintain this speed.

The most important thing is that this Tai Chi car carries a huge load. I didn’t take a closer look when I got on the car. There are still five or six cars. Each car is about one foot and two feet wide and four or five feet long. These dozens of people are not at all in the car. It doesn't feel crowded, how fast it would be if it were used to carry cargo or troops.

Moreover, Lu Bu made two roads on this railway track, but there was not just one railway track on each road, but several railway tracks. If there were more such yin and yang cars, both troop transport and cargo transport would be extremely fast.

Compared with the previous methods of transporting materials by horse-drawn carriages and manpower, with the Tai Chi vehicle, at least in terms of the transportation of troops and grain and grass, Guanzhong is countless times faster than Guandong.

Of course, this is only limited to transporting from Chang'an to Luoyang. Without the railway track after Luoyang, the Tai Chi car cannot move naturally. But even so, there are only two lines from Guanzhong to Luoyang and from Guanzhong to Chang'an. The manpower and material resources that can be saved can bring Lu Bu an advantage in a war that can make people despair.

"Lieutenant." Zhong Yao looked at Lu Bu and suddenly smiled: "But I don't know what drives this Tai Chi car?"

"This is the blueprint structure of the Tai Chi car. The most important thing is the yin and yang furnace located at the front of the car. It can use the power of water and fire. To put it simply, it boils water with fire, turns the water into gas and gushes out from here, and then drives the The mechanism, this mechanism involves the wheels, as long as there is enough water and fire, and it is big enough, the Tai Chi car can never stop!" Lu Bu smiled and asked people to look at the design of the Yin and Yang furnace.

Looking at the drawings, Yang Biao frowned and said, "Lieutenant, how dare you show such an important thing to others so easily?"

"If this thing was so easy to make, I wouldn't have to spend ten years." Lu Bu pointed at the Yin-Yang furnace and said, "It's impossible to make this mold just by ordinary means, not to mention that this kind of thing must be completely sealed to make it." The power of water and fire is transmitted, and ordinary steel cannot lock the power contained in it. With the casting method of Guandong, even if it is barely made, it will explode once it is burned."

The first-generation Yin-Yang furnace is actually very easy to imitate, but the current Yin-Yang furnace has been reached after six reconstructions. Without the previous preparation and the corresponding equipment, it would be impossible to make it. The furnace temperature alone for steelmaking cannot reach the same level. Therefore, Lu Bu was not worried about leaking the secret at all.

"Even if this blueprint is given to others, without Beigong City's equipment, it would be impossible to build this Yin-Yang furnace." Lu Bu explained with a smile.

Jia Xu has seen the original drawings and knows very well that this thing has been optimized from generation to generation. If you want to make this Yin-Yang furnace with only the last generation of drawings, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

"It turns out that the reason why the Taiwei built Beigong City against all opinions was for this matter." Yang Biao said with emotion, Lu Bu had already started planning for today ten years ago.

With these two railways, I am afraid that the next step is to send troops to Guandong. No wonder they say this so generously.

"If the princes of Guandong know that this thing exists, they will definitely try to destroy it." Zhong Yao on the side interjected.

"Don't worry, everyone, the legislation and maintenance of railway tracks have been established in recent years, and it is not easy to destroy the railway tracks now." Checkpoints and patrolling troops have been set up in places that are close to the railway tracks. In addition, there are also incentives among the people. There are rewards for catching or reporting to the government office those who intend to damage the railway tracks.

For this matter, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry have worked hard. The construction of these two railways is not easy.

The Tai Chi car began to operate, and Lu Bu had gone to great lengths to maintain the two railway tracks in the past three years. It was difficult to hide such a big movement from others. From the moment the Tai Chi car drove out, it was destined to be impossible to hide. It was better to show it openly. , and even Lu Bu wanted to spread the blueprint of the Yin-Yang furnace to the world to see if anyone could make the Yin-Yang furnace more effective.

"Let me see, how about changing this Yin-Yang furnace into a Tai Chi furnace?" Liu Xie suggested on the side.

Tai Chi cart, Tai Chi furnace?

Lu Bu didn't think anything of it, and Tai Chi seemed to sound more pleasant to his ears. He nodded and said, "It's as long as your Majesty is happy."

This Tai Chi chariot is just the tip of the iceberg in Beigong City. Next, Lu Bu will prepare to restore the world. However, to be cautious, Lu Bu is going to find a reason to send troops first, and it is best to defeat the princes one by one.

From a geographical point of view, it is best to attack Cao Cao or Liu Biao first.

However, no matter which of these two princes it is, it will enter the dilemma of fighting on two fronts after taking it. Even with the equipment advantage now, Lu Bu does not want to commit such a military taboo, so Lu Bu's first target is Yuan Shao.

After capturing Yuan Shao, he remembered that there was an inner harbor in Quanzhou, and he would build a steel fleet here to control Jiangdong. At the same time, Zhang Liao would also send troops from Shu to capture Jingzhou.

This is probably a fight. We are still in the preparation stage now. There is no need to rush to declare war. We should make excuses first and prepare combat materials and manpower at the same time.

"This Tai Chi car is great, but the wind is really strong." After Liu Xie's novelty wore off, he gradually felt a little uncomfortable from the wind. It's okay now that it's midsummer, and it's still a little cool when it blows, but if it's winter, , shouldn’t this freeze someone to death?

Lu Bu nodded and said, "We will slowly figure out a solution for this later."

Ordinary window paper or window screens cannot cover this car window. If it is closed with wooden boards or iron plates, the entire car will become very closed and difficult to ventilate. People will have difficulty breathing or even suffocate if they stay in it for a long time. So when it comes to Nowadays, it is difficult to deal with this kind of passenger compartment. If it is really winter, you can only rely on cotton-padded clothes.

Fortunately, big men now have cotton and can make cotton-padded clothes. Otherwise, if they had to carry it hard, not many people would be able to carry it.

After the novelty wears off, riding in a car is actually a very boring thing. Fortunately, the space in the carriage is large enough. You can get up and walk around if you feel uncomfortable. And compared to a horse-drawn carriage, the bumps in the Tai Chi car are much easier. In the middle of the night, the Tai Chi car arrived outside Luoyang City. Under the night, the lights in Luoyang were already lit up to welcome it. This was the first time that the Tai Chi car was driven in front of the world, which is of great significance.

Returning to Luoyang again, Liu Xie felt a lot of emotion. The last time he left, he was only eight years old. Now, in the blink of an eye, he was already over 20 when he returned to Luoyang.

Lu Bu brought Liu Xie to Luoyang this time to prepare for moving the capital. Since he has already prepared to send troops to Guandong, continuing to issue orders in Chang'an will inevitably lead to lag in news. Moreover, Lu Bu is already in Beimang Mountain in Luoyang. After establishing the factory, he planned to launch industrialization with Luoyang as the center and radiate to all directions. If the capital continued to be located in Chang'an, it would be somewhat untenable.

"Your Majesty, after years of reconstruction, Luoyang has changed its style. However, it is getting late now. How about I take Your Majesty to visit the new Luoyang City tomorrow?" Lu Bu asked with a smile as he stayed and helped him down.

"That's just right, I'm really tired!" Liu Xie nodded listlessly. Although he didn't do anything strenuous, he felt indescribably tired after this journey.

"Everyone, please rest first. Someone will guide you and arrange a rest. If you want anything, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Lu Bu looked at the crowd again and said.

Everyone felt the same as Liu Xie. After all, these seven hours were not acceptable to normal people.

Although it was a bit surprising to arrive in less than a day after traveling seven hundred miles, they could not resist their sleepiness. They all said goodbye to Lu Bu and left with the attendants who came to greet him.

Lu Bu sent Liu Xie to the palace, and then returned to his mansion in Luoyang. The Yan family had already arrived. Because the mansion in Luoyang was re-planned and built, it was more elegant and refined than in Chang'an. Diao Chan directed the maids to tidy up. While carrying their things, Yan and Wang Yi made Lu Bu's bed in the room and prepared to wash up.

"It's getting late today. Madam and Yi'er are also tired. Get some rest early. After accompanying His Majesty tomorrow, I will take you to see the city of Luoyang. It's different from Luoyang in the past." Lu Bu took the hand from Yan. He smiled while wiping his face with wet wipes.

"No matter how different it is, how can it be better than Chang'an?" Yan smiled and shook his head. Although the Tai Chi car is shocking, sitting on it for a whole day is indeed tiring.

"It's really different. Go to bed early." Lu Bu threw away the wet wipes and carried her to the bed amidst Yan's exclamations...
