Accompanied by bursts of whistles, the steam train drove on the railway tracks. On both sides of the railway, people from villages and towns along the way came to watch the excitement.
It is very strange to see the train moving fast on the railway track.
On the train, Liu Jin fell asleep.
To be honest, once the novelty wears off, it¡¯s just like that. What¡¯s more, as a time traveler, Liu Jin has ridden on the high-speed rail countless times in later generations. Taking this steam train again will make the experience feel fresh.
As for Zhu Houzhao on the side, he still looked very excited.
Although this is not his first time riding a train, he feels very happy every time he rides a train, because this is a behemoth that he personally participated in the research, design, and manufacturing. It does not rely on manpower or animal power, but only burns coal. A lump of steel that can move.
The sense of accomplishment and joy in this process is difficult for those who have not participated in it to understand and appreciate it.
After riding the train for almost an hour, we finally arrived at the railway construction site.
There are already huge crowds of people here. All the workers, designers, engineers, etc. involved in the construction of the railway are here. At the same time, reporters from the Ming Dynasty Morning Post also hurried over, preparing to get this first-hand news material.
Ren Siheng from the Beijing Institute of Mechanical Engineering, He Yun, the manager of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway Company, and people from the local government are all here. The construction of the railway has been completed, and only the last section of rails is left to be laid.
¡°I¡¯m coming, I¡¯m coming~¡±
Before the car was stable, Zhu Houzhao rushed over anxiously.
This made Liu Jin behind him couldn't help but laugh. After all, Zhu Houzhao was still a child, and he was just fifteen years old this year. Of course, according to the standards of this era, fifteen years old was considered an adult, and in many places he was considered an adult. Dad.
But he was tricked a bit miserably by Liu Jin. Ever since Liu Jin popularized to Emperor Hongzhi that getting married too early might lead to infertility, Emperor Hongzhi had been extremely strict with Zhu Houzhao in this regard. Even the maids in the East Palace looked at him. Less than.
So now he is still a young man immersed in his own world, ignorant and just wants to be happy.
"Your Highness~"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao, everyone around him saluted.
For Zhu Houzhao, everyone actually likes him very much.
He is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, but he rarely has the airs of a prince. He gets along very happily with everyone, and he is very smart. He can always put forward some very useful suggestions and methods at critical moments, especially in mechanical research. He is definitely a genius, and many classic mechanical designs are from his hands.
"Haha~ I'm finally going to get through it."
Zhu Houzhao, while waving his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite, also came to the middle of the road excitedly.
The railways on both sides have been repaired, but the last section of track in the middle is still being laid. There are people around, everyone is waiting to witness this great moment.
Liu Jin walked to the middle with a smile on his face, looking at the railway in front of him, he was filled with emotion.
As a traveler myself, I know the importance of railways all too well.
The land of China in later generations has suffered many vicissitudes. In that humiliating era, every railway in China was built by foreigners. With the construction of railways, the tentacles of foreigners continued to penetrate into the meridians of China until Even in the 21st century, Chinese people are still not confident, and there are still many, many people who are shepherd dogs.
The railway represents the backbone of a nation, the dignity and self-confidence of a country, and is also the main artery of a country, affecting all aspects.
Now, because I have traveled through time, I already have my own railway on this ancient land hundreds of years in advance.
This railway will definitely go down in history.
It will also become the backbone and spirit of the Ming Empire and an important symbol of the Ming Empire.
It symbolizes that the Ming Empire is the most advanced country in the world because it has mastered the most advanced technology of this era. Many technologies involved in trains are definitely the most advanced technologies of this era.
It symbolizes the wisdom of the Ming people, is the backbone of the Ming Empire, and is the artery of the Ming Empire. Its appearance will surely push the Ming Empire towards a more glorious future.
"Old Liu, come on, come on!"
"The two of us will lay the last piece of rail."
Liu Jin was sighing with emotion, but Zhu Houzhao was already excited and carrying the rails with the workers, preparing to goIn the future, whether it is the history of our Ming Dynasty or the history of all mankind around the world, this moment will be firmly remembered. "
"And you have used your wisdom and hands to write this great moment and this great history. Your names will be famous throughout the ages and will go down in history."
"Although each of you is ordinary, you have used your ordinaryness to achieve extraordinary and great feats. The reason why our Ming Dynasty is what it is today is precisely because of the silent dedication of countless ordinary and great people like you. Silently build our country and our home, so our Ming Dynasty will become better and better and more prosperous."
Liu Jin¡¯s voice is very loud, and he speaks from the bottom of his heart.
??In Liu Jin¡¯s view, the greatest person in any era is not the officials above the court who preach benevolence, righteousness and morality, nor the aloof emperor, but the common people at the bottom.
Only they are the greatest people of an era. They endure all the pain and support everything with their shoulders and hands. They are the greatest people.
As soon as Liu Jin finished speaking, long-lasting applause erupted from the surroundings. Everyone was blushing with excitement and applauding desperately. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
