Zhang Hao looked at the motorcycle in front of him, with a boxy shape and a height of three meters. The track is also three meters wide, and the carriages are the same width as the track.
The material of railways and locomotives is heat-treated black iron - that is, ordinary steel. Huang Mingshan and others call this kind of steel 'black steel', which is obtained by quenching ordinary black iron. The dark iron content of these ordinary black iron and black steel is only 10%, and such dark iron content is almost useless.
But after all, it is heat-treated. With the help of Zhang¡¯s relatively mature heat treatment, the hardness of these black steels is still very objective, at least enough to meet the requirements of ordinary railways.
In fact, ordinary steel after heat treatment has reached the strength of ordinary magic weapons. The steam turbines currently sold by the Zhang family, including those used in their own factories, are made of ordinary steel. Because ordinary steel is fully capable of meeting current production requirements and technical requirements.
Zhang Hao circled the motorcycle twice and nodded with satisfaction.
This time, the locomotive used a fuel-fired steam boiler and a steam turbine. After continuous research and exploration, the steam turbine technology has finally matured.
Previous steam turbines had open steam pipelines and the steam was discharged directly, which caused a lot of waste and, more importantly, required a lot of water. This is not conducive to research on small equipment such as motorcycles.
Now, through the efforts of Huang Mingshan and others, a closed-circuit steam system has finally emerged. Steam turbines were miniaturized and mounted on locomotives.
Huang Mingshan and others previously studied turbines driven by spiritual stones, but that equipment was complex and expensive, easily aroused covetousness, and was not conducive to large-scale promotion - it might be dismantled by cultivators.
Zhang Hao nodded with satisfaction, came to Huang Mingshan and asked: "How much does this motorcycle cost? If it is mass-produced?"
Huang Mingshan opened his notebook and replied seriously: "It is expected that mass production can be reduced to less than 10,000 spiritual stones. As for the railway, the cost per kilometer is expected to be about 200 spiritual stones. Such railway costs do not include actual construction costs.
In actual construction, excellent roadbeds, excellent bridges, etc. may be needed, and the cost cannot be estimated for the time being. But the maximum is no more than 500 spirit stones per kilometer. "
Zhang Hao smiled: "Okay! I'm going to build a locomotive and railway branch factory. Do you have anyone to recommend?"
Talents are already in short supply. The original group of people such as Huang Mingshan have gradually separated. Although Huang Mingshan and others have also begun to consciously train apprentices, there are still not enough manpower. The development of the Zhang family is too fast.
It was time to establish a motorcycle branch factory, and Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know who to arrange for it.
The only old people around Huang Mingshan are Chen Feng and Wang Xuefeng. The three of them are responsible for the research on all the technical systems and theories of the Zhang family, which is already quite strenuous. With the advancement and development of technology, industry is becoming more complex. Zhang Hao feels that the three of Huang Mingshan can no longer be divided.
Huang Mingshan immediately named one person: "Master, I recommend Zhang Yueshan!"
Zhang Yueshan? An impression suddenly appeared in Zhang Hao's mind: when the production team was first selected, the team led by Zhang Yueshan was the first to complete the production of wind turbines. But they were eliminated because they were not careful enough. (Chapter 22)
Huang Mingshan continued: "Master, later I discovered that Zhang Yueshan started to study seriously and relied on memory to build a new fan, so I re-activated him. He performed very well during this period.
In this research on the locomotive, Zhang Yueshan contributed a lot. "
"Okay!" Zhang Hao nodded, "Then it's Zhang Yueshan. By the way, since your contribution is not small, have the rewards, etc. been calculated?"
"it's here."
Zhang Hao took Huang Mingshan's roster, looked through it, and nodded with satisfaction. But then he said, "There is no need to reward elixirs in the future. In the future, the price of elixirs will be reduced to the limit, and everyone will be replaced with spiritual stones. The priceis calculated according to the previous price of elixirs."
"Yes!" Huang Mingshan recorded it carefully and meticulously. Unknowingly, this little craftsman who only dared to sit on half a stool in front of Zhang Hao has grown into one of the pillars of the Zhang family.
"Where is Zhang Yueshan?"
Huang Mingshan immediately called Zhang Yueshan over, and Zhang Yueshan stood in front of Zhang Hao with some restraint. Zhang Hao smiled and patted Zhang Yueshan's shoulder, "Work hard. I won't say anything more. As long as you don't give up, I promise you a brilliant future. Tomorrow, you go to the master's study and receive a gift. A skill."
"Thank you, Master!" Zhang Yueshan was very excited. Compared to others, Zhang Yueshan was more excited. Because I lost it, I know how to cherish it.
&nbs?. This also allowed the emperor to finally make a decision.
Therefore, the emperor of Danyang Kingdom had to send a messenger to ask for help from Qixia Kingdom overnight. The messenger is Song Shang, the only person in the Danyang Kingdom who is in the stage of becoming a god.
After Liu Xinyu obtained domestic consent in the morning, she immediately contacted the remaining four countries. This time, Liu Xinyu will use the Kingdom of Qixia as the core to raise an army to 'maintain peace'!
The Kingdom of Yanyun was the first to respond. In the afternoon, an envoy arrived at the Kingdom of Qixia and said that their 30,000 elite dragon and horse cavalry were ready.
??Then the Kingdom of Zhoushan also made a statement. The Kingdom of Zhoushan, which had just ended the chaos, could only send 20,000 "ordinary troops", but it opened the domestic channel and allowed the cavalry of the Kingdom of Yanyun to go south.
The Kingdom of Zhongshan and the Kingdom of Jinyang both sent 50,000 troops.
Including the 50,000 troops sent from the southeast of Qixia Kingdom, we formed a total of 200,000 elites.
This time, everyone sent out elite troops. Even though the Kingdom of Zhoushan said they were ordinary troops, none of them were at the Qi Refining stage. They were all at the Foundation Building stage or above.
??Everyone knows very well that this is a competition between the military powers of various countries-the peacekeeping of Danyang Country is just a matter of convenience.
As the Kingdom of Qixia opens up the ocean, development opportunities for the six Western countries come. But who gets more resources?
Liu Xinyu said that it is free trade without restrictions; but everyone is a sensible person, and the world of spiritual practice respects the strong, even the country is no exception.
So everyone is ready to take advantage of this "peacekeeping" opportunity to show off their muscles and lay the foundation for future division of interests.
It took three days for the army to gather. But in these three days, the country of Danyang was divided: the country was completely divided into east and west parts.
In the west, there is the royal family of Danyang Kingdom, with only two counties remaining; in the east, there are domestic nobles, aristocratic families, etc., who occupy the land of five counties - the counties of Danyang Kingdom are much smaller than those of Qixia Kingdom.
These aristocratic families actually wanted to seek refuge in the Country of Canglan.
??????????????????????? The Country of Canglan has indeed dispatched legions. For the Country of Canglan, the changes in the Country of Danyang are an opportunity for them to enter the West, so they are not prepared to give up.
Now the war between the Canglan Kingdom and the Langya Kingdom has begun to gain the upper hand, because Zhang Hao defeated the first navy of the Langya Kingdom, which brought opportunities to the Canglan Kingdom, at least an opportunity in terms of confidence.
So now, in order to 'repay' the Kingdom of Qixia, the Kingdom of Canglan has gathered 300,000 elites, crossed the Nanqiu Fengling Mountains, and entered the Kingdom of Danyang in three groups through Tianqing Pass, Tianmen Pass, and Soul Burial Valley. And deployed a large army at the border of Jinyang Kingdom, showing preparations to break through the border at any time.
The artillery purchased from Qixia Kingdom and the artillery produced by them using drawings have also been widely used.
A cruel war, a war involving artillery, seems to be about to begin!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Kingdom of Danyang surrendered to us before, they all signed a contract; you, the five Western countries, are provoking us, we can¡¯t just sit back and watch!
The entire western part of the Fertile Continent has solidified again.
But everyone still maintained some sense after all. Before the war was about to begin, the Kingdom of Canglan sent an envoy to visit Liu Xinyu. The envoys were Fu Yun, left prime minister Huang Shaoxian, and Wang Ruiyang, the owner of Lingwei Trading Company.
??Fu Yun is in the stage of becoming a god and does not participate in negotiations. He only ensures safety along the way. The main negotiators are Wang Ruiyang and Huang Shaoxian.
Huang Shaoxian was the prime minister, and Wang Ruiyang was the most familiar with the Western countries.
There was no politeness. When Huang Shaoxian saw Liu Xinyu, he asked him face to face: When your country of Qixia was in trouble before, we helped you without saying anything, but now you are having trouble with our country of Canglan. Your Majesty, you are unkind!
Faced with Huang Shaoxian's question, Liu Xinyu just smiled faintly and turned to look at Wang Ruiyang, "Shopkeeper Wang, I remember you. I heard that it was you who started selling the elixir-specific secrets to us in the six Western countries. The iron is adulterated by 20% and you still don¡¯t negotiate the price. Right?¡±
Wang Ruiyang was thick-skinned and smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, are you going too far with what you said? If we hadn't sold black iron specially used for alchemy, the West, a fertile continent in the past, would have been unsustainable. I admit it's a bit expensive, but it can still be sold. Come on! If it weren¡¯t for us, even your country¡¯s money wouldn¡¯t be able to buy it!¡±
Liu Xinyu laughed, and laughed angrily, "If this is what you two are talking about today, then please come back. My time is precious and I can't afford to waste it!"
Huang Shaoxian immediately shouted: "Your Majesty really wants to become an enemy of the country of Canglan?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
