Daqin: Qin Shihuang Visited The Stalls At the Start

Long-distance transportation is something that people in any era have been thinking about and trying to solve since the history of mankind.

With the development of Daqin faster and faster, the ruled territory area is getting bigger and bigger, the distance between each other is getting farther and farther.

The time and material costs of transportation are also increasing.

Especially now that the Western Expedition has reached a stage, the Great Qin Western Expedition Army has come to the border of the Central Asian steppe, close to the West Asia region of Europe.

The distance here is far inland of the Qin Dynasty in East Asia, and without three or five months, it is impossible to travel between the two places at all.

During the three to five months' journey, the amount of food consumed by the transport team alone must be as much as possible.

Although the Daqin people who have been stationed in various places along the way can provide supplies for the transportation team.

But these are all bought for money, which invisibly increases the cost and price of transportation.

And if there is an emergency, Xianyang City, which lives deep in the interior of Daqin, can only stand.

By the time they arrived, the day lilies were cold.

Even if it is the fastest waterway in Daqin now, it takes a lot of time to bypass the Strait of Malacca.

And to reach this place deep in the inland, it is necessary to walk a long way by land, and it does not save much effort.

As for laying the railroad...

It can be thought of in the mainland of Daqin.

But the spread of the railway to Europe, at least for the next ten years, do not have to think about it.

Today's Daqin has a large number of giant beasts waiting in line, such as the laying of power grids, the development and construction of new regions and counties, and the purification of exhaust gas from steam engines.

As for the railway, I am afraid we have to go back a little bit.

What's more, the terrain during this journey is intricate and complicated, and with the current technological level of Daqin, it is somewhat reluctant to do this.

In addition to the transportation of goods, there is also the transmission of information.

This is also the most troublesome point for Su Yu.

Although it is said that the current West Expedition Army and Xianyang Palace have achieved seamless communication.

But this is all based on his use of strategic transfer messages in the middle.

If you do not rely on him, the one-way communication between the two places will increase the delay of at least two months.

Two-way message... Basically, after the message is sent, there is basically no waiting for a reply within four or five months.

If he doesn't think of a solution, the only way he can use now is to pass the book with flying pigeons.

But although this will be much faster, it still has a lot of drawbacks.

Special homing pigeons should be brought from Xianyang Palace, only a few at a time, and after a few times, they will have to be sent.

Moreover, they could only reply to the letter from the Western Expedition Army to Xianyang, but the news of Xianyang could not be spread.

Because the Western Expedition Army has always been in a state of flux, there is no condition for raising homing pigeons.

And there is a huge problem here.

It is a vast grassland and mountain area separated by the two places.

There are all kinds of birds of prey out there!

Hundreds of pigeons fly over, but it is not always the case that they can escape.

wait, fly!

Suddenly, a light flashed in Su Yu's mind.

That's right! How could he forget about it.

With the current scientific and technological level and chemical industry of Daqin, it is completely possible to develop the most preliminary air routes!

Although the speed will definitely not be as fast as later air routes, but at least it is many times faster than land transportation!

The most important thing is that once that thing is invented, Daqin's combat power will definitely be greatly improved!

Thinking of this, Su Yu couldn't sit still any longer, and quickly found Lao Zhao, Wang Ben, Li Xin, and Zhang Liang to discuss the matter.

In front of "A maximum of 500 miles in an hour? Is this true?"`?"

Hearing Su Yu's words, Lao Zhao stood up in shock, looking at Su Yu with shock in his eyes.

A maximum of 500 li in an hour, wouldn't that mean that in one day, one could travel more than 2,000 li (of King Qian's)?

At this speed, it would probably take a little more than three days to reach the position of the Great Qin Western Expedition from Xianyang at this time?

And just as the thought in Lao Zhao's mind flashed, Su Yu said again:

"The means of transport I'm talking about can travel day and night. 35

"It only takes one and a half days to get here from Xianyang!

ps: Readers who are still reading this book, can you guess the new means of transportation that will appear next?

As a friendly reminder, it can be produced at the current level of Daqin.

The two industries of steam engine and chemical industry are the pillars.
