In addition to Wang Feng's doubts about the eastward movement, Han Huanzhang is also an opposition party. Han Huanzhang believes that the situation in Nanyang is now very good, and the natives of Nanyang are very primitive. It is a good time to seize territory. Don't occupy this area of ​​Nanyang well. At this time, I am not crazy about moving eastward!

Liu Wenbin is planning to bypass the Cape of Good Hope and prepare to sail for Europe. Now he suddenly said that he would lead the American voyage. This long journey to America is also a challenging task. Liu Wenbin said that he likes this kind of work very much. The problem is that it is not too late to come back from his long journey to Europe.

As for Tang Kai, he was not helping each other for the time being. In his heart, on the one hand, he wanted to go east and become the boss, and be a general or something. It would be great to command the minions to destroy cities and capture villages. With the horses here, he always suppressed himself, which was unhappy. On the other hand, Tang Kai felt that the time travel group should indeed concentrate resources on the Nanyang side. In that case, how good the development here would be! America, after all, it was too far away!

Long Jiu saw Ma Fen argue with the opposition party, and Tang Kai was playing soy sauce. In principle, Long Jiu did not belong to the organization on the side of the Isthmus of Kra, Damn! These people soon became separatist and did not obey the Party Central Committee. How could this be done! Long Jiu himself didn't think about it. In fact, the cause of this situation also had his responsibility.

Long Jiu didn't want to get into arguments, so he said:

"You guys are competing for a while, but they can't make a name for themselves. Why not stop it first. The steamed car heads there should be almost assembled. Let's take a look at the first practical steamed car in this time and space first, and see how that thing performs. It's time to make noise after watching it."

"Is that so? The steamed car is really built? Can it work?" Tang Kai had known that Mao Geng was trying to make a steamed car, but today he heard that it was almost ready to load it, so he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Of course, I was escorting the steam engine head together this time. Mao Geng sent a capable disciple to assemble. Leader Han has a lot of things to do, and I have been staring at this matter. I think it should be assembled almost now." Long Jiu came to the Isthmus of Kra this time, first to deliver goods and food supplies, and secondly, he came for the test drive of the steam truck head.

In fact, in Kaohsiung, I have tried the car and will only be shipped out if I can.

Long Jiu was still quite interested in the first steamed car head in this space-time. Long Jiu couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he decided to follow it all the way to see what the baby car head looked like on the rails.

Yi Bojun and a group of people were all in a shed in Malay Town. Han Huanzhang and his group walked for more than ten minutes before they reached this shed.

There is a branch rail in the shed that connects to the main rail, which is why it needs to be assembled in this shed.

This shed is a bit simple, just a log as a wall and thatched top. This was originally one of the starting points of the ox cart, but after some cleaning, it is now used as the assembly site for the first steamer head.

You can also smell a trace of cow dung in the air, and the lights in the shed are brightly lit, probably because several whale oil lamps are lit.

Looking along the rails, Ma Fen saw a machine with black all over, a cigarette window on the wheels. Needless to say, it was the head of a steamer, and a group of people were busy surrounding the machine.

At first glance, Ma Fen was a little disappointed. In terms of size, this thing was far from the giant Ma Fen imagined. This thing was a little taller than a human. The horizontal boiler was a cylindrical thing that looked thin. It looked like it was only more than one meter long, absolutely less than two meters, and the diameter was only seventy or eighty centimeters at most. Compared with the boiler with a diameter of more than one meter in memory, which was so serious that the steam locomotive was 800. The entire size of this machine was very small, short, thin! short! It didn't feel like a steel giant like a steam locomotive that I remembered.

When I looked again, there was a huge flywheel on the upper right side, which was a bit fantastic. As for the huge flywheel, it was compared to the thin boiler diameter. In fact, the diameter of the flywheel was at most ninety centimeters.

Ma Fen raised his contempt and said contemptuously:

"This little arm and calves are also called steamed car heads? How many cars can it drive? How many miles can it run? Can it be faster than a ox cart?"

When he heard this, Yi Bojun, who was lying in the car to direct the commissioning, stopped doing it. He jumped out of the car and was about to refute such a reckless derogatory remark, but he happened to see Long Jiu and five other people. The derogatory person had a cold expression just now. Yi Bojun immediately realized that this might be the five "returnees" mentioned by the master of the Kra Isthmus, and this was not something he could afford to offend.

Yi Bojun adjusted his mood, rubbed his hands full of oil, and said with a smile:

"So it's Mr. Long. The steamed car head has been almost done. You can test it tomorrow." Yi Bojun thought to himself, if you test it tomorrow, you will know how powerful this machine is.

"Look, will you test the train tomorrow? Should you choose a day to try again?" Long Jiu knew that these guys wanted to test the train immediately, and deliberately wanted to make them feel better.

Han Huanzhang circled around the machine and nodded and praised:

"This machine, let's not talk about anything else, just say that the steel rivets are very touching, but they are too ordinary to paint black. If they are painted red, it will be exciting. However, Chief Executive Mao's artistic cultivation is limited, and Lao Qiu is also a half-baked person. We cannot have too high requirements. Yes! The key is that being able to run, being able to run is the bottom line."

"Haha, you see, this wheel is very particular!" Wang Feng noticed four wheels that seemed to have zebra pattern effects.

When he mentioned it, everyone noticed that there were bumps embedded on the rim of the wheel. It felt very elastic when pressed, and it should be elastic fabrics or the like.

"It's also considered shock absorption, which is good, but I don't know what will happen when I run." Liu Wenbin praised.

"It's a donkey or a horse. I'll take it out for a walk. I'll find out after trying real guns and real ammunition." Ma Fen obviously had no confidence in this small motorcycle.

At this moment, Han Huanzhang stretched out his palm, pinched his fingers together in this way, and then opened them again. He was mysterious for a while and then smiled:

"Long Jiu, I counted on my fingers and tomorrow will be a good day, and the test drive would be the best."

"Yes! That's great!" Liu Wenbin echoed.

Ma Fen glared and said:

"I'm the most annoying to you. I'll test the drive tomorrow. Don't pretend to be a god."

When he returned to the conference room, Wang Feng couldn't help but say one thing:

"I sent a letter to Mao Geng last time and gave Mao Geng some suggestions. It was about building steam cars. I provided some parameters, and I don't know if my parameters are reflected in this steam car."

"You kid still knows the parameters of steam cars?" Ma Fen thought to himself that it would be great if there was a steam car. Could it be changed to a steam car by changing the head of this steam car!

"This is also seen online. We are also an outsider of the 'Duo Rive Steaming Party'. I occasionally found a steam car developed by the Soviet Union in the late 1940s and early 1950s. I was curious and recorded its parameters. I remember the parameters are: the empty load is close to 8 tons, the effective load is 6 tons, the boiler uses 380 liters of water, 400 kilograms of wood fuel, 100 horsepower, and 40 kilometers per hour."

"Are you sure? When did the Russians lack oil? After World War II, they were so depressed that they wanted to build steam cars! You can spray it nonsense!" In Ma Fen's impression, the whole world was short of oil, and even the Russians would not lack oil. There was no need to make a steam car.

"Really, it's true. After a long period of time after World War II, the Russians started to think of steam cars. It is said that the steam car from Russia was still great, but the maintenance was complicated. Later, after the production of Russian oil increased, it was eliminated." This is a real thing. In real history, the Soviet Union specially launched this "ni-012" steam car. Don't say it, it was at least quite warm when running in Northwest Syria.

The next day, six time travelers arrived at the shed early.

After filling up the water, hang up a small coal truck, and the steamer head starts to raise the fire. The steam locomotive has this problem. It takes a long time to raise the fire before you can get enough high-pressure steam and then start.

When everyone was impatient, it finally started.

The piston began to run, and the smoke window began to emit white steam, but the wheels did not turn.

Wang Feng was still aware of the fact that the design of this steam car head is different from that of the steam locomotives that were later used. The piston, crank connecting rod and flywheel mechanism of this steam car head are all installed above. The clutch needs to be closed and the rear wheel axle is driven by the clutch, so that the whole car can run.

Well, after Wang Feng said this, everyone thinks that this is really a bit like a car.

The flywheel was turning faster and faster, and the head of the steamer finally began to move. The wheels on both sides were stuck on the outer edge of the convex concrete rail and rolled forward along the track. The front of the car accelerated little by little, getting faster and faster. Later, under the shock of a large group of people, the front of the car gradually turned into a small black dot, and then ran away.

"This speed is thirty or forty kilometers!"

"I'm afraid it's more than fifty kilometers."

"Without loading, this speed does not mean anything. Try full load and see how fast it can run." Ma Fen admitted that he was hit a bit big, and the inconspicuous power of this inconspicuous machine should not be underestimated, but he didn't know what the full load would be.

When we were testing again, three carriages were hung. The carriages were all wooden carriages, and only the axles were iron. Each carriage was two meters wide and four meters long. The two carriages in the front were equipped with three tons of coal, and the benches in the back were placed. Ma Fen, Long Jiu and Wang Feng were the first passengers.

This time, it was not so relaxed. I felt that the front of the train took a lot of effort to make the train start slowly, and then speeded up little by little. Yi Bojun hit the valve to the maximum, and the speed was not fast.

Wang Feng looked at the time and calculated the distance. A stone tablet with distance erected beside the rails. Wang Feng calculated it and the average speed was about 35 kilometers per hour.

"It's already very good at 35 kilometers per hour. Mao Geng, the Chief Executive, did a good job!" Ma Fen was convinced this time.

The test drive continued until the afternoon, and the six people were very excited.

When he sat down again, Wang Feng grinned:

"With steam cars, we can finally develop a lot here."

"Don't draw conclusions too early, we might as well calculate the capacity first." Long Jiu was not that optimistic.

"One trip transports six tons and 120 kilometers, including loading and unloading, and does not require four hours to run one one way. You can take one round trip a day. If you send ten trains in one direction a day, it will be sixty tons and 1,800 tons a month. I guess there will be no big problem in digging potential again. Two thousand tons." Wang Feng calculated very quickly.

Long Jiu smiled and said:

"You also underestimated the capacity. Chief Executive Mao is building a larger horsepower front. This one is a single-barrel boiler, and next time it will be a double-barrel boiler. Perhaps, the new front can drag seven or eight cars at a time, pull twenty or thirty tons at a time, and transport seven or eight thousand tons a month. If you drive it again at night, it will have a capacity of more than 15,000 tons. The problem is that in previous years, the trade between the Middle East and Europe in the Song Dynasty was only 10,000 tons a year."

When everyone heard that the main foreign trade products of Song Dynasty were nothing more than silk porcelain. Porcelain was a bit heavy, but how heavy could silk be? The international trade volume in this year was really too small.

"Don't worry about this. In the future, we will export cement and steel. Soon, the capacity will be operated at full capacity, and we may have to increase the capacity again." Han Huanzhang felt that the prospects were bright, and the days when the Kara Isthmus were popular all over the world are not far away.

"But, even we are not enough for steel and cement nowadays. Oh, I mean, it's not enough for Dasong to use it."

"What do you mean!" Han Huanzhang felt that Long Jiu was taking advantage of the issue.
Chapter completed!
