Wuhan University is immersed in a peaceful and happy life, and time moves slowly like flowing water.

In the blink of an eye, the first moon was almost the end of the month, and the weather was warmer.

The New Year is the most festive time and the best food for ordinary people. And the martial arts family has always been brocade and jade, but it lacks that bit of atmosphere.

However, the weather was warmer, and Wuda knew that the work of laying the rails was about to begin.

The school was on holiday, and no new steam engine could be built, and Wu Da had not yet driven his first motor vehicle.

Zhao He has already sent someone to choose the route. According to his thinking, it is to first row the ground, and then lay it in sections. After all, the lines are all drawn, and according to the lines, they will never be connected.

In this era, labor is the cheapest and most affordable. It just so happens that the population of the Great Song Dynasty is also large, and it is not difficult to recruit some railway employees. Moreover, according to Zhao's meaning, this may not be a temporary worker.

After all, after eating the sweetness of convenient transportation, I am afraid that I will have to keep repairing it in the future, until the sea is dry and rotten, and it is repaired until it blooms everywhere.

After the railway is repaired, even if you are in the north, you can eat fruits and vegetables from the south. The province is like Yang Guifei, eating a lychee can also run a few horses to death.

There are many mountain roads to the north, and a flat river to the south. However, the north must be built, after all, connecting Youzhou, the entire railway perimeter must be developed. Even if it doesn't now, as long as the railway develops, the surrounding economy will definitely drive.

Under the current conditions, digging a cave is certainly unrealistic, and the best way is to bypass the mountains, although it is a little farther, but it is not a waste at all. Because there are fewer people in the mountains, and the larger the railway coverage, the more surrounding areas it covers, and the better the economic effect will be driven.

Zhao He has arranged for a large number of people to make the steel mill. In addition to blacksmith shops in the Song Dynasty, there were already workshops that began to make steel, but the scale was small and the production capacity was low. This time, Zhao He also ordered people to gather many craftsmen to set up a steel mill.

Wu Da looked at the section of railway tracks appearing, and his heart throbbed. I am afraid that in less than a hundred years, the Song Dynasty will be able to catch up with the new society. The current economic base is far better than that of the corrupt Qing government.

According to Zhao He's plan, this road leads to Yingtianfu in Nanjing in the south and Yunzhou in the north. Due to the uneven terrain of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, you can only go to Yunzhou, and these flat roads have saved a lot of time for long-distance travel, and then evacuating from Yunzhou to Youzhou again is not effortless.

In fact, the establishment of transportation, the emperor has done it before, but for the purpose of play, the Sui Emperor just opened the canal, the dynasty perished.

Zhao He could not do this kind of lifting stones and shooting himself in the foot, and the workers who worked here were all distributed with food. What army, according to his words, this thing can also be considered a military reserve. With an army of hundreds of thousands, it is not easy to build a district railway.

Moreover, the silver is all from Wuda, the grain is Zhao He out, every other distance, set up a cargo distribution point, that is, a parking area, build some warehouses around it, and level the road.

The railway project began construction just a few days after the beginning of spring.

Wu Da ran on the construction site for a few days, and then handed it over to the people below to handle it. After all, he has system space in his hands, and now the train has not been built, and he cannot go on the road. For this transportation, it will take at least half a year's effort. However, with the bug of system space, the transportation in the early stage is handled by Wuda. Each distribution point is a place where railroad tracks are stacked. Several warehouses were built to temporarily serve as resting places for workers. Moreover, this steel is worth a lot, and someone must watch over it day and night.

Just these days when Wuda laid the rails and ran back and forth.

The good news from the academy came. The new motor vehicle was completed, and Wu Daxing ran to the academy to see the first motor vehicle in the world.

At the entrance of the academy, it was already crowded with people, and the appearance of this steel behemoth shocked the surrounding generation of people, who came from all over to watch.

Even Zhao He was already waiting at the gate of the school for the first operation of the steam locomotive with a hundred civil and military officials.

"This thing is made of steel, I'm afraid it's heavy, right?"

"Isn't that, at least more than a thousand catties, if you pull up the goods, you can't crush all the floor tiles on Tokyo Road?"

"Cut, what are you worried about, if it is broken, the king of our Wujun will pay for repair, otherwise the official family will not ignore it."

"I still think that my carriage is lighter, even if it is full of goods, it is more than a thousand pounds, and the horses are easy to feed, just give grass." I heard that this thing still has to burn coal, how expensive it is.

"Yes, yes, as soon as this car leaves, it has to burn coal continuously, it is simply burning money, and I don't know what to do with this thing?"

"I bet this car won't run as fast as a horse."

"Nonsense, in your words, how fast do you want to run with such a heavy car?"

"Look at that sparkling stuff in that body?"

"Shh~ that thing is all a blade, is it not a murder weapon?"

......

Everyone is talking about the new machine.

Zhao Yuwuda waited patiently under the preparation of the craftsmen. After a while, the steam engine was already boiling. With the pressure relief valve closed, the steam engine went into operation.

Wu Da personally got into the car and controlled the car to move forward.

Clutch, hang forward gear, loosen foot.

The locomotive slowly moved.

The pressure relief valve above the steam engine spews steam from time to time, which makes the surrounding people look amazed, which is like a boiling pot. It's just that it's bigger.

The car went faster and faster, and soon, the speed reached the limit, nearly forty miles, the speed is already extremely fast, but this thing except brakes, there is no good way to slow down, after all, the gears are not designed.

Wu Da drove all the way, and his butt was about to grind out of bubbles.

This locomotive is very large, even if the road surface is spacious, Wuda has to drive carefully, in case of accidentally overturning, with his skills, he can immediately jump the car to avoid danger.

With the test operation of thousands of meters, Wu Da stepped on the clutch brake and stopped.

Zhao He looked excited and announced on the spot that the first motor vehicle came out.

Of course, all the civil and military officials followed suit, but they were not too excited. That's just the speed, it costs a lot of money to produce. It is not as fast as the carriage, nor is it as stable and flexible as the carriage.

However, Wu Da and Zhao He both understood. With the advent of new machines, there must be many areas for improvement and optimization.

At noon, Wu Da and his men drove the locomotive to a farmland north of the city.

It's early spring and it's time to plow. Under the confusing operation of the students, the machine that cultivated the land was also installed.

The steam engine sounded again, and the car slowly moved forward in the ground. This time, because a steam engine drove the car to move, and it had to drive the cultivated land machinery to run, the speed slowed down significantly.

However, as the machinery ran, everyone's eyes froze.

"Shh~ This kind of cultivation machinery is so powerful, in the blink of an eye, it has already turned over an acre of land..."
