Alien Lord

Chapter 1082 Horse-drawn Train

The speed of the fire armored ox is not slow. Its jumping speed is many times faster than the horses on the earth. With its strong endurance, it does not need to stop and rest in the middle of a thousand miles. Therefore, it is absolutely The best brute for pulling trains.

With the speed of a fire armored ox, the speed of a horse-drawn train will not be lower than seventy or eighty miles. This speed is already acceptable.

At a speed of seventy or eighty miles, if it is twenty-four hours a day, it can travel about 1,700 to 1,900 kilometers a day, which is a distance of about 3,400 to 3,800 miles.

And for such a long distance, if you use iron-shoeed horses, even if you drive at full speed in the middle, it will take four or five days to do it without changing horses.

What's more, if you use iron-shoe horses to drive the road, when you reach the destination, the cavalry on the iron-shoe horses are definitely at the end of the flying arrows, and you don't have much strength and energy to do other things. If you want to slow down, you will have to spend two or three days of rest.

This is extremely unfavorable during wartime.

And if the horse-drawn train, all this is not a problem.

Horse-drawn train, you just need to sit in it, you don’t need to consume your energy at all, even if there is motion sickness in the middle, after arriving at the destination, rest for two or three hours, and you will be relieved .

What's more, horse-drawn trains are much larger than cavalry in terms of the scale of transporting goods and people.

An iron-shoe horse, no matter how strong it is, can accommodate at most two cavalry at a time, but a horse-drawn train can transport hundreds of people at a time, and there is no comparison between the two.

The same is true for transporting goods.

Most importantly, with the horse-drawn train, the distance between Lin Ze and Sharman does not exist.

Huangsha Town is only three to four thousand miles away from Heisha City, and at the speed of a horse-drawn train, it would take a day at most.

Besides, the speed of the horse-drawn train that Lin Ze took is definitely much faster than that of ordinary passenger and freight trains.

The fire armored cattle used for general passenger and freight transportation are ordinary fire armored cattle. The Fire Armored Bull.

(In the middle of the journey from Huangsha Town to Heisha City, you need to pass through deserts and hilly areas. These places are not like the earth, where there is no danger. In these places, they are full of wild beasts, and of course they will not be strong. When Lin Ze started to build the railway, he would also focus on eliminating the powerful beasts near these places.

However, for the sake of safety, the fire-armored ox used in the horse-drawn train must also have a certain strength, like the day after tomorrow level 4 or 5 is about the same, and then I saw ten beasts of level 4 or 5 after the day pulling the train in front Moving forward, the wild beasts in the desert and hills will not dare to act rashly, which can also ensure the safety of passengers and cargo. )

Lin Ze's special car uses all acquired savage beasts of level 7 or 8. As a matter of course, the speed of the special car is definitely far higher than the speed of ordinary horse-drawn trains, and it is normal to reach a speed of one hundred and twenty or thirty.

Depart from Huangsha Town at a speed of one hundred and twenty thirty, drive at five o'clock in the morning, and arrive at Heisha City at eight or nine in the evening. In this way, Lin Ze can go to Heisha City whenever he wants to go. .

If it is at night, Lin Ze can still sleep peacefully on the car, and when he wakes up, he will arrive at his destination.

These are just the convenience of Lin Ze's death, the horse-drawn train also has the convenience of strategy, and people's livelihood.

If you want to get rich, build roads first, and the train is the most important road in this road.

With the train, countless goods can be transported to the destination in the shortest time, thereby strengthening the connection between different cities and developing the economy of these cities.

Similarly, with horse-drawn trains, it will be much more convenient for people to travel in the future.

In the past, you needed to walk a distance of ten days and a half months, but now you only need to take a train for four or five hours to get there.

Such a fast speed will inevitably allow more and more people to leave the villages and towns, and in turn, the economic development of the society will become better and better.

If you want to develop the economy, in the final analysis, you still need to revitalize the business, and the convenient and fast train is the best igniter.

In terms of strategy, horse-drawn trains can also play a huge role.

The speed of the horse-drawn train and the large carrying capacity allow it to transport the army to the destination at the fastest speed during wartime, and when the army reaches the destination, it does not need to rest at all, and can directly go into battle , and, in the middle of the journey of transporting the army, the materials consumed were reduced to the minimum.

For example, now that Heisha City has encountered an enemy, it only takes more than half a day for Huangsha Town to transport the army to Heisha City, and at this time, those enemy attacking troops have not even launched.

With such a fast troop movement speed, there will definitely be very few people who dare to provoke Lin Ze in the future.

At this point, some people may ask, no matter how good the physical strength of the Huojia Niu is, but running at a speed of 70 to 80 kilometers, or even 130 to 40 kilometers continuously for four or five, or even more than ten hours, is it right? It's so unrealistic.

The Fire Armored Bull is a creature, not a machine.

No matter how fantasy is, there must be a limit, right? !

Hehe, this problem does exist, but it is actually very simple to solve this problem.

When you take the train, every half hour, an hour (short distance), or two or three hours (long distance), the train will stop at the platform.

One is to get on and off the guests, and the other is to change a locomotive and get on the water.

Linzer's horse-drawn train can also be set up in the same way.

A train station is set up in every city where the horse-drawn train passes, and it is also used to board and unload guests, but the change of locomotives here has become a change of fire and armored cattle.

Modern trains generally change locomotives every half a day, but Lin Ze can completely change the locomotives every hour.

An hour of running at full speed, such a thing, don't say that the beasts on the mainland of China can do it, even some horses on the earth can do it, so there is no need to worry about the horsepower consumption machine that can't hold on for a long time question.

Now the number of Huojia cattle in Lin Ze's hands has exceeded 20,000 (some were purchased during this period, and some were born to female Huojia cattle.), except for the part that is regarded as a farming cattle, and the number of wild beasts. As part of the army, Lin Ze could take out two or three thousand fire-armored oxen as 'horses' for the horse-drawn train.

Two or three thousand heads are enough for horse-drawn trains.

What's more, Lin Ze has been buying Huo Jia Niu now, and it will take a long time for the train track to be built. This time is enough for the Huo Jia Niu in Lin Ze's hand to give birth to another Huo Jia Niu.

Therefore, Lin Ze doesn't need to worry about the number of fire armor cattle at all. The only thing he needs to worry about is his wallet.

After all, with Lin Ze's large-scale acquisition of Huojia Niu and other people seeing the advantages of Huo Jia Niu in farming, the price of Huo Jia Niu will definitely rise.

The current price of a fire armor ox is one hundred gold coins, but I believe that the price will increase two or three times in less than a year.

At that time, Lin Ze's spending on purchasing the Fire Armored Bull will increase by two or three times.

However, Lin Ze would not care about this.

As long as his horse-drawn train is built, he will not have to worry about money at all in the future.

There is the most obvious example on the earth. Every railway is equivalent to an endless mountain of gold!

"Now it seems that the first thing I do after I go back this time is to focus on the refining of steel. If I want to repair the railway, this steel is the most important thing, and I have to refine the high-quality steel just now. That's all right, otherwise, I won't be able to bear the weight and speed of the train." Lin Ze thought silently in his heart.

The extreme weight and speed of the trains necessitates a high mass of steel for the rails that bear the pressure of the trains.

For example, ordinary steel cannot be used to make rails at all, because the rails made of ordinary steel can easily fail to withstand the strong pressure caused by the huge weight and rapid speed of the train, which will cause the rails to break and eventually cause the car to crash The tragic result of human death.

"Although there are still things like Xuanbing here, such high-performance materials can only be produced on a small scale. The entire Chu State adds up to an annual output of only about 40,000 to 50,000 jin, which cannot afford the rails at all. manufacturing.

The high quality of Xuan Bing cannot be mass-produced at all, and the amount of steel required by the railway is not ordinary, but it is calculated in thousands of tons. Such a large amount is enough for the entire Chu State and the surrounding five or six Blacksmiths in this country have been making black weapons for hundreds of years.

Besides, even with so much output, it is impossible to use it to make rails. The materials used to refine Xuanbing are dozens of times more expensive than gold per gram. It is obviously unrealistic to use such materials to make rails.

Not to mention other things, the problem of theft alone can block this road. Use the materials used to make black soldiers to make the rails. I just buried the rails in front of me. The next moment, countless warriors will pry these rails away.

As for the huge benefits these rails can bring to the nearby people, hehe, warriors still care? ! " Lin Ze shook his head.

Maybe some warriors who are far or near, or ordinary people in their hearts, will not do this, but Lin Ze can guarantee that there will also be many warriors who don't care about these at all. Even if someone stops them, they will still come back to pry the rails on the railway line .

Things like prying rails have happened even on the earth.

Especially in the period when the train first appeared, the price of steel was still extremely high at that time. Seeing so much steel spread on the ground like this, many people's eyes were filled with golden light...
