At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 501: Full Line

"Are you two itching for something?"

Liao Huan crossed his arms and glanced at Hu Luxu, "Especially you, do you want to go to the training ground with me?"

"No, no, no."

Hu Luxu shrank his neck.

Liao Huan is the best fighter in the Xiliang Army, and you don’t call him that for nothing.

"Your Majesty, we must hurry up and lay other railways."

Guo Tu said solemnly: "As long as the railways from east to west and north to south can be connected, the transportation speed will be greatly improved."

“Can steel production keep up?”

Xiao Han frowned.

“I can keep up.”

Pan Yuanshao said: "I will find a way to deal with this matter."

"First prepare the route and plan, then submit a memorial to the palace."

The east-west railway must be built, starting from Liaodong in the east and ending in Xiliang in the west, connecting the trade routes of the Western Regions.

The railway runs through Jizhou, Yongzhou, Youzhou and Xiliang. By then, relying on the East-West Railway, it will be much more convenient to transport food, fodder, soldiers or caravans.

There must also be a north-south railway, from Xiliang City to the Northern Wei Imperial City, radiating to the seven northern states. In the future, if other prefectures and counties in Xiliang want to build railways, they can rely on these two trunk lines.

"There is no need to recruit young and strong men to lay the east-west, north-south main lines. Let the soldiers from Xiliang do it."

"Anyway, there haven't been any major wars in the past two years, so they're just sitting around doing nothing. Why not get them out to work? Their skills can save some money, and they can also train their bodies and hone their skills."

Xiao Han smiled.

"can."

After a brief discussion, several people thought this method was very good.

"Liao Huan, Lu Ju, one of you will be responsible for the north-south trunk line, and one of you will be responsible for the east-west trunk line. I will give you two years at most."

“It must be connected across the entire line.”

He looked at the two.

"no problem."

Liao Huan patted his chest and assured: "I can issue a military order."

"I can too."

Lu Ju echoed.

"The military order is waived."

"Good job."

“This is a chance to go down in history.”

Xiao Han patted their shoulders.

The first railway in Kyushu and the first train running attracted countless people's attention. On the official road beside the railway, the endless stream of vehicles, horses, and pedestrians stopped to watch.

Looking at the huge steel monster spewing out white smoke and making a deafening roar, even from a long distance, you can feel your eardrums vibrating.

There were also many people riding horses and galloping along the official road, trying to catch the locomotive, but as the train went faster and faster, the horses were gradually left behind.

On the train, there were many soldiers carrying long swords, standing at the pull rods on both sides of the carriages, looking at the mountains and rivers rapidly receding beside them, with surging emotions in their hearts.

Any normal person can see that the emergence of the train will completely disrupt the situation that has lasted for thousands of years.

The train ran smoothly from Xiliang City to Qingyou Pass, and then back to Xiliang City. Since the Qingliang Railway was the first railway, it could only be used to transport food, fodder, soldiers and horses for the time being.

Two months later, Xiliang officially began to lay the east-west, south-north railway trunk lines. Liao Huanlu Ju, alone with 100,000 elite soldiers and countless craftsmen, began the construction journey.

The Mo Palace and the Manufacturing Bureau worked day and night with great enthusiasm.

Xiao Han had nothing to do, so he would bring Ning Xi or Miao Yu to check on the progress every now and then.

It has to be said that the grandmasters of the Celestial Realm, the immortals on land, and the masters of the Vajra Finger Mysterious Realm work much faster than ordinary people.

Even ordinary warriors cannot be compared with ordinary people in terms of strength and endurance.

Build roads through mountains, build bridges over rivers, and offer gunpowder. If gunpowder doesn't work, let the grandmaster of the celestial realm go in. If that still doesn't work, let the grandmaster of the celestial realm go in. If the celestial realm on land doesn't work, then Xiao Han will go in.

They just relied on brute force to break through the mountains. Wherever the railway was built, the trains could pull the rails and other materials there, and the progress was extremely fast. Youzhou, Yongzhou and Jizhou were mountainous and more difficult to lay, but the north was much better.

At the same time, the Construction Bureau also sent a large number of people to various places in Xiliang to explore for various minerals.

The generator is also under development and is almost ready for mass production. The method of refining kerosene has been solved and is being manufactured on a large scale. The experiments on the internal combustion engine have been basically completed.

Xiao Han started planning this many years ago, and it has now slowly begun to bear fruit.

Only when productivity is improved can true transformation take place. Suddenly, a year has passed. In the manufacturing bureau's control room, Xiao Han is holding a one-meter-long musket. Its appearance and components are infinitely close to those in the depths of his memory.

He aimed at the target a hundred steps away, took aim, and pulled the trigger.

"Bah"

Flames spurted out of the muzzle, and the bullet shot out, whizzing past and piercing the iron surface of the target.

“Good power”

His eyes lit up, he took out a bullet from the tray next to him, pulled the bolt and put it in.

"pat"

He loaded the musket, pulled the trigger, and pierced the hanging armor from a hundred steps away.

"I want to play."

Ning Xi came over excitedly, took the rifle, and successfully fired under Xiao Han's guidance.

"With this kind of musket, an ordinary person can kill a master of internal strength."

Miaoyu commented.

"Yes."

Xiao Han nodded: "This thing is enough for now."

Dealing with the cavalry and infantry of the Central Plains court is simply a dimensionality reduction attack. Now the two are simply not opponents of the same level.

The distance is almost the same as the range of a bow and crossbow, and it is more powerful and convenient.

"Laoyue, how many of these have you produced?"

He looked at Sima from the Manufacturing Bureau next to him.

"Two."

Sima answered honestly.

"How much can be produced in a month without stopping day and night?"

"Two thousand."

Sima Dao: "This is under the premise of ensuring quality. If the quality is relaxed, it can be doubled."

“Quality must be guaranteed.”

Xiao Han smiled and said, "Go full steam ahead. I want a thousand of them so that the army can take turns training."

Continue to expand production capacity. In half a year, I want 20,000 units. Then I can give His Majesty a surprise."

A few black lines appeared between Miaoyu's eyebrows.

If the emperor knew about this, he would be so frightened that he wouldn't even be able to sleep.

"Pull out the cannon too, and let me try."

He was a little unsatisfied.

"Your Highness, this shooting range is too small. We need to go somewhere more spacious to conduct experiments."

Sima replied.

"Then let's go."

Xiao Han spent the whole day in the manufacturing department, where muskets and cannons could all be mass-produced.

The range of the artillery can reach 800 meters. When attacking the city in the future, we can use hundreds of cannons to bombard the city for several days and nights, or directly blow up the city gates.

When we go to war with the Central Plains court, we will let them know what era we are in and that their ways are outdated.

When it gradually darkened, they reluctantly left the Construction Company and returned to Shuiyun Mountain.
