The king behind the empress

Chapter 404
After Mo Zizai came back, he didn't rush to the Weapons Bureau immediately. After all, they had been waiting for several days, and they didn't care about waiting an extra day.

Early the next morning, Mo Zizai, who had rested overnight in the palace, used great perseverance to get up from the side of the three of them.

After seeing him get up, Mei Shuying, who was startled awake, also got off the bed and carefully helped Mo Zizai put on the clothes one by one.

"During the time I was away, Wei Yi was almost spoiled by you."

While enjoying Mei Shuying's thoughtful service, Mo Zizai teased Mei Shuying and said, "If I don't come back, are you going to kidnap her?"

"We are all your people, where can I abduct you."

Mei Shuying glanced at Mo Zizai helplessly, and after helping him put on the last piece of clothing, Mei Shuying said sincerely, "Don't worry, husband, Your Majesty and I will always be yours."

After finishing speaking, Mei Shuying seemed to have remembered something, and said with a blushing face, "Besides, you also like to watch..."

"Ha ha……"

Mo Zizai laughed, seeing Tang Weiyi also woke up, fearing that Tang Weiyi would become angry, he turned around and ran outside, "I'm going to the Weapons Bureau, if Xiaolu wakes up, just ask her to find me somewhere gone."

Tang Weiyi, who just woke up, looked at Mo Zizai who fled in despair. Tang Weiyi snorted, then looked at Mei Shuying with some complaints, and said, "Sister Mei, don't mess around with him next time."

"Psy... Husband asked me to do this..."

Mei Shuying replied with some hesitation, then seeing that Tang Weiyi was about to get angry, she quickly changed her words: "Okay, Your Majesty, I will definitely not do it next time."

Mei Shuying lowered her head when she said this, so although she promised very happily, no one knows if she can do it.

(What did you do, you can make up your own brains, otherwise this book will be gone after writing, thank you for your cooperation.)
……

Mo Zizai, who didn't dare to stay in the palace to eat, took Zhou Qi to find a food stall outside the palace to make up for a meal. Not long after he finished eating and rushed to the Armament Bureau, Tang Weilu, who was still sleeping late, also rushed to come over.

"Little Lu, why are you here so fast?"

Mo Zizai was a little surprised, Tang Weilu was tormented yesterday, he thought Tang Weilu would sleep a little longer, but he didn't expect to wake up so early, "Did you have breakfast?"

"ate……"

Tang Weilu replied weakly, then hugged Mo Zizai's arm, hung it directly on his body, and continued: "I don't know what's wrong today, my sister has a bad temper, so after you wake up, she put me They were kicked out too."

"Uh……"

As the chief culprit, Mo Zizai felt a little embarrassed when he heard Tang Weilu's complaints. He rubbed Tang Weilu's little head, and then comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, the steam train still needs time, you should find a place to squat for a while." , I'll call you when I get it out."

"no need."

Tang Weilu leaned on Mo Zizai's shoulder and shook her head. As a warrior in the human realm, he wouldn't feel sleepy even if he didn't sleep for a few days. The reason why she doesn't have energy now is because she wanted to sleep late, but was forced to sleep. Shouted, this is completely psychological discomfort.

After waiting for a while, she will naturally not be sleepy.

"Okay, then you decide for yourself."

Mo Zizai rubbed her hair again, then took her by the hand and led her to the Military Weapons Bureau.

"I have seen the king."

After the Military Weapons Bureau, apart from Tao Qiong, the Military Weapons Officer of the Military Weapons Bureau, Deng Zhi and others from the Imperial Prison were also waiting here for Mo Zizi.

"Exemption."

Mo Zizai waved his hand, and then asked, "How is the steam train doing?"

"Two prototypes have been made."

Deng Zhi took a step forward and reported: "Our imperial prison has been tested back and forth many times, and normal operation is not a problem."

"It's just that our tests are only short-distance. If the distance is longer, we can't guarantee whether there will be any problems."

"If the short distance is fine, then there should be no problem."

Mo Zizai didn't know much about this thing, so he said directly: "Let's take a look at the real thing first, and let me see if there is any problem with this thing."

"Here."

Deng Zhi responded, then prepared a few cars at the Armament Bureau, and went straight to the train station they had planned outside the city.

The so-called train station is just a large empty yard. It was originally the place where Deng Zhi and the others used to forge various parts. here we go.

"Here, it seems to be okay."

Mo Zizai took a look at the surrounding environment. It was empty and not too far away from the capital. It was quite suitable as a railway station, but it was necessary to re-establish a urn city and incorporate this place into the capital.

After seeing the crowded train station in his previous life, Mo Zizai did not dare to put the train station in the city easily. After all, with the current capital planning, there is no room for it.

Deng Zhi and the others didn't know what Mo Zizai was thinking. After Mo Zizai entered the yard, they pointed to a huge monster in the yard and said, "Look, my lord, this is the steam train we built."

Mo Zizai noticed this big guy as soon as he entered the yard. Compared with the train in his impression, this steam train looked more rough, and because it was built by hand, Deng Zhi and the others used different steam trains in different places. Metal material, which causes the color of this steam locomotive to be bright and dark on one side, it looks like it has been patched one by one, full of the taste of mechanical punk.

"What a...talent."

Mo Zizai looked at Deng Zhi and the others and shook his head, then he didn't say anything, but walked into the locomotive and observed it carefully. The general structure of this locomotive was not too different from his impression, although some The place seems to be a little different.

But Mo Zizai never carefully observed steam trains in his previous life, so if you ask him to tell the difference, he really can't tell.

He entered the front of the car again, observed the internal structure, and checked it carefully. After finding no major problems, he backed out and asked Deng Zhi, "Director Deng, how many carriages can this locomotive carry?" ?”

"Go back to the prince, it can drive fifteen small carriages."

Speaking of the load of this locomotive, Deng Zhi and the others couldn't help feeling a little excited, "If these fifteen carriages are full, they can weigh about 50 catties, and if you don't pursue speed, the weight can be increased. "

"50 catties."

Mo Zizai calculated in his mind that 100 million catties is about 200 tons, which is not too small.

If it was replaced by food and grass, just such a trip would be enough to feed the army for half a month.

"very good."

Mo Zizai nodded, and then asked, "Have you measured its speed?"

"We estimated the speed."

Hearing Mo Zizai's question, Deng Zhi quickly replied: "If it is not loaded, it can run more than 180 miles in half an hour."

"And if all fifteen carriages are hung up, then it can only run a hundred miles in half an hour, but even at this speed, ordinary horses can't catch up with it."

"Oh."

Mo Zizai nodded, feeling quite satisfied. The speed of the horses here is generally over [-] kilometers per hour, and it cannot last long, while the steam train has a speed of [-] kilometers per hour, and it can run continuously without resting. It's a little surprising.

He calculated in his mind that at the speed of the steam train, if it was fully loaded, it would take at most ten hours to reach Yining City.

You know, it took them several days to come back from Yining City this time, even if they rode horses for the starry night, and now the time for a few days has been shortened to more than ten hours, which is simply a qualitative leap.

"Okay, let it run for a while and try."

Mo Zizai, who confirmed that the steam train was okay, made a decision directly to let the steam train run first. If there is no problem, in addition to the remaining one being put into use, the Queen's Supervisor has to speed up the time and continue to build a new one. steam train.

After all, Dazhou's territory is so large, two vehicles are definitely not enough.

After getting Mo Zizai's approval, Deng Zhi and the other gray-haired foundries looked very excited. In their opinion, this thing would definitely make them famous in history, so they had waited too long for this day.

Fourteen cars full of coal mines were hung on the front of the car. As for the remaining car, there was no cargo, but a group of elite Habayashi guards entered.

After all, this is the first show of the steam train, and it would be great if someone who is not open-eyed finds any trouble. With these five hundred guards of the Yulin Army, plus Zhou Qi and Qiu Wuping, two human realm warriors, lead Team, Mo Zizai believes that if there are blind people who dare to rob the train, they will die a miserable death.

"Dirty ~ dirty ~ dirty ~"

There were a few loud sounds from the exhaust port of the steam train, and then accompanied by the sound of rumbling machines, the steam train moved slowly and began to drive into the distance.

Mo Zizai stood there watching the steam train start slowly, feeling a little dazed. At this moment, he even had the feeling of returning to his previous life.

"Brother Mo, Brother Mo..."

Tang Weilu waved her little hand several times in front of Mo Zizai's eyes, and then woke up Mo Zizai who was in a daze. Tang Weilu looked at Mo Zizai worriedly. Since the iron guy drove away just now, Brother Mo has been in a daze. , This made her feel a little uneasy, that's why she woke Mo Zizai out of her trance, "Brother Mo, are you alright?"

"No, it's alright..."

Mo Zizai shook his head, looking at Tang Weilu's worried face, he was completely awake.

This life is completely different from his previous life, even if he makes a steam train, he can't go back to his previous life.

As for how this world will develop after the steam train is available, and whether it will follow the same technological path as in the previous life, he is too lazy to care so much. After all, if technology is developed, the ghost knows how many years it will take. It's hard to say if you can't live, so why worry so much.

However, according to his estimation, [-]% of this life will not take the technological path of the previous life.

After all, martial artists in this world are much more convenient than technology in some aspects.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the steam train made by Mo Zizai is convenient, but it is also easy for warriors to destroy.

It doesn't take much, the counties in the south of the Yangtze River only need to shoot dozens of warriors in the Youzhao Realm to completely destroy the railway.

After all, it is always easier to destroy than to build.

However, Mo Zizai was not too worried about this matter. He planned to set up a railway corps modeled after the railway security department during the war in his previous life.

In addition to guarding the railway, the main task of these people is to repair the railway.

Anyway, as long as the roadbed is laid, the track laying will not waste much effort, so as long as those people don't dig all the roadbed, then the railway soldiers can lay the rails all the way, even if it will delay a little time, it is better than following the traditional way. The food delivery speed is much faster.

What's more, Mo Zizai didn't intend to fight a protracted war with Nanjun at all. The few months given to him by the southern counties were enough to double the strength of his soldiers. Knock them over in an instant.

He also destroyed his own railway. I'm afraid that the people he destroyed had just sent out and hadn't reached the place yet, and the headquarters of the southern counties would have to be blown away by him.

……

After the steam train left, Mo Zizai and Tao Qiong went back to the Weapons Bureau to wait for the news. As for Deng Zhi and the others, fearing that something might happen to the train, they set off together with Zhou Qi.

On Saturdays on the train, every time they went to a place, they would send back letters to report the news. Obviously, there was no problem with the train, and the speed was about the same as Deng Zhi and the others predicted. At night, it was almost Arrived in Pingzhou County.

The first time the train appeared in China, it caused a great sensation in Dazhou.

Its huge size, unique sound, and extremely fast speed will attract the attention of the public no matter where it goes.

If it weren't for the officials who said hello to the people along the railway when the railway was being built, saying that this railway track was used by an artifact from the Military Weapons Bureau, these people would have knelt down and worshiped this miraculous scene long ago. .

But even so, the appearance of the steam train shocked the people of Dazhou, and even some officials were silent for a long time after seeing it.

"This is really an artifact!"

When the railway was being built before, many officials said that this thing was a waste of people and money, and it was of no use. It was just because of Mo Zizai's power.

Seeing the steam train at this time, their previous doubts were instantly swallowed by themselves.

"How can there be such a thing in this world?"

Some officials who have been to the battlefield, when they saw this thing, immediately thought of its greatest use, "With this thing, the army will never be short of food and grass again."

If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

In the era of cold weapons, the most important thing in war is logistics. If there is no food and grass, no army can fight.

And if one side has a steam train, then his rear will basically not be short of food and grass. If this is the case, unless the army is too weak, this side will already be invincible.
