Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1761 Industrial New World

At Tianjin Wei Railway Station, a long black steel dragon lay on the rails.This train uses the "Industrial II" steam locomotive, which has eliminated the previous "Industrial" steam locomotive.

Industrial Type II locomotive has a total length of 17 meters, a modulus tractive force of 119kN, and a shaft type of 1-3-0, that is, 1 pair of guide shafts and 3 pairs of driving shafts, without a follower shaft, showing even more amazing power.

When the diplomatic missions from all countries came to Tianjin Wei Railway Station, they were stunned when they saw the unprecedented two-line railway track, industrial type II locomotive and carriages.

Nothing is more representative of steam civilization than steam ironclad ships and steam trains!

"It seems that the front of the steam locomotive is even bigger than when I left." Sophia used to ride on the old "Industrial" steam locomotive, but now she saw the new "Industrial II" steam locomotive, more or less A little surprised.

"Get on the train, everyone."

The envoys were led onto the train one by one, and they sat in the carriage anxiously.

The space in the carriage is not that big, but it is clean and comfortable inside, like a small restaurant.

Prince Henry and the little princess who were following Sophia seemed very excited. Neither of them had ever been to the East, and it was their first time to take a steam train.

"Your Majesty, what kind of cakes and tea do you need?" There was also a special employee in the carriage who was the first to ask Sofia for her opinion.

"Pea yellow, hawthorn cake and black tea." Sophia said.

The English seem to have a soft spot for black tea.

"Our adults have prepared black tea from Mount Wuyi and fresh lemons for you. If the little prince and princess think the taste of black tea is too strong, you can add ice water and lemons," the employee said.

Other princes and nobles and members sat down in their seats one after another. They ordered some tea and snacks. To many of them, tea and Huaxia pastries were relatively unfamiliar things.

"The pastry looks delicate, the taste is a bit strange, but it's surprisingly good."

"I heard that this is a train. Like a car, it can travel automatically without being pulled by horses."

"My God, who can imagine that there is such a developed civilization in the East. Compared with them, we are like people living in a backward valley."

In the compartment, there are four people at a table, and different delegations form small groups, talking about what they have seen and heard in Tianjin Wei in their own language.

woo-

The door was closed, white smoke came out from the steam locomotive, and the low-pitched whistle temporarily interrupted everyone's conversation, and the steam locomotive started slowly.

"It's moving! The train is moving!"

"The scenery outside the window is receding!"

The ambassadors who had never been on a train looked out of the window in shock. Sure enough, the scenery outside the window was slowly receding, and then the speed was getting faster and faster.

They stared at the backward scene intently to judge the speed of the train!

When the train left the noisy area, the trees on both sides disappeared at a fast speed and became blurred in everyone's sight!

The speed of the "Industrial Type II" steam locomotive has been greatly improved compared with the previous generation of steam locomotives!
"Even if the horse gallops at full speed, it is only at such a speed, and it will get tired after a long time, and it will not last... It's terrible. The train can carry hundreds of people without getting tired at all. How desirable it is means of transport."

"It is impossible for a normal carriage to run. The speed of a steam train far exceeds that of a carriage. One train like this can be used as hundreds of large carriages, or even more than that."

The princes and nobles shifted the topic to the train itself, amazed.

In the era when no steam engine was known, seeing a train for the first time was nothing but shock.

Koprulu leaned on the cushion, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Whether it's more steam ironclad ships, internal combustion engine cars, or steam locomotives, it makes him more and more powerless.

In the face of a big country that has completely crushed the Ottoman Empire in terms of population, territory, and technology, how can he get the other party to cancel the "Constantinople Treaty"?
"Our Brandenburg and the Principality of Prussia also need this kind of steam locomotive. It can transport soldiers and supplies to the border around the clock, and win quickly." The Duke of Brandenburg is very keen on steam locomotives, and his eyes show fanaticism.

For Europe, which has been at war all year round, having a well-developed railway can quickly gather soldiers, which is undoubtedly very helpful to win the war.

"It's unimaginable..." Prince Condé of France realized that he was not wronged to be defeated by such a force.

The opponent obviously hasn't shown their hole cards yet.

"We also want to have this kind of thing in France, steam trains." The young Louis XIV said.

The speed of the steam locomotive greatly shortened the distance between Tianjinwei and the capital, and the envoys arrived in the capital in less than half a day.Similarly, the capital also sent a convoy, planning to lead them directly to the place where the envoy lived to prevent any accidents on the way.

The missions of various countries originally thought that they had seen most of the advanced technologies of the East.But in fact, there are still things in the capital that can shock them, not only new technologies, but also exaggerated project scale.

The main road in the capital was forcibly widened into ten lanes, which can accommodate ten cars and carriages at the same time!

The extremely spacious main road is full of traffic, and there are no strict traffic rules. Cars, carriages, bicycles, tricycles are mixed together, and there are many pedestrians.

Chu Yun did not close the road because of the arrival of diplomatic missions from various countries. Anyway, there are cars, and people will consciously give way.

"Inconceivable width of the road, simply a luxury!"

"Not only that, the road surface is very flat, with almost no ups and downs at all!"

The princes and nobles sat in the car, and they discovered the new shock brought by the capital.

The main road in the capital was rebuilt by Chu Yun. In order to become an international metropolis in the future, a ten-lane main road was prepared in advance, and a cement road was used. The road is smooth and smooth, which is unimaginable!
Not only the main roads, but also some secondary roads have been dredged and widened. Many shacks built randomly or brick houses blocking the roads have been demolished, forming a spider web-like traffic network of main roads, secondary roads, and ring roads!

This kind of advanced urban planning is also a part of the industrial revolution. The industrial revolution is definitely not the application of new technologies, but also new ideas and concepts to transform the objective world from new perspectives such as engineering and operations research.

Everything around them was fleeting, and the diplomatic missions from various countries seemed to have entered a new industrial world that they didn't know.
