Datang: At the beginning, Princess Wencheng was robbed

Chapter 111 Watershed

The 18th year of Zhenguan can be said to be a watershed between the old and the new Tang Dynasty.

Before the 18th year of Zhenguan, Datang seemed to be the same as in the history books, or the difference was not big, but after 18 years of Zhenguan.

It feels like the atmosphere of the entire Tang Dynasty has begun to change a bit.

It seems that unconsciously, people realized what technology is and the power of technology.

Even Changsun Wuji was so shocked by Wei Yan's hand that he couldn't speak.

In the 19th year of Zhenguan, the Shangyuan Festival.

Inside and outside Chang'an City, it was extremely lively.

However, during the Shangyuan Festival, Chang'an City is bustling with activity, and that is a routine operation.

What shocked the officials of the Tang Dynasty and even the people of the Tang Dynasty the most was actually this day.

Wei Yan's railway has finally officially opened.

During the day, four silver-white electric locomotives were parked on the four tracks respectively.

Originally it was supposed to burn coal, but Wei Yan considered that he had to give Datang a dream.

So, he switched to electricity.

One can imagine the reactions of Li Er and the crowd when they saw the four silver-white electric locomotives.

The streamlined metal body, as well as the outrageously exquisite seats and glass windows in the car.

The environment is as comfortable as a high-speed rail.

From this point of view, it is not something that Datang can possess.

For a moment, Li Er couldn't help but wonder if he was dreaming.

Is this something human can do?

Li Er: "Wei Yan, this..."

Wei Yan said casually: "The on-the-job practitioners have been trained for almost half a year. Of course, the main thing is simulation. It takes only ten days to get started, but I think they operate very well. Would you like to go up and try it out, Your Majesty?"

Changsun Wuji: "Wei Yan, are your things safe?"

Li Ji looked at this huge monster, and felt a little apprehensive.

Said: "Your Majesty's safety is the most important thing."

Wei Yan: "I have sat back and forth dozens of times, which is naturally safe. Moreover, there will be special patrols on the railway every day to prevent accidents. This safety can definitely be guaranteed."

Li Zhi: "Dingguo Gong, how did you make this thing?"

Wei Yan replied: "Don't look at it as a giant, in fact, it is just composed of things that people are familiar with. The main material used is still more iron."

Wei Yan said that he didn't say anything.

This official answer is good.

It is half the level of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Wei Yan: "Prince, do you dare to go up?"

Li Zhi: "Why don't you dare?"

As he said that, he wanted to take the lead.

Everyone else said: "His Royal Highness, absolutely not!"

Li Zhi said, "What are you afraid of? Duke Ding really wants to harm me, so why bother?"

This is true.

If Wei Yan wanted to harm him, he could kill him casually.

Why do you have to make such a big detour?
Li Er couldn't help feeling a little relieved when he saw Zhi Nu being so courageous.

It seems that having Zhinu visit Wei Yan frequently this year has had some effect.

As Li Zhi got into the car, the rest of the people also walked up after looking at each other in blank dismay.

I saw that the environment inside is very comfortable.

and……

Even the place to sit is a sofa, which is very soft to sit on.

Wei Yan was also introducing everyone in the car.

"Everything is fine inside the car, maybe it's a little stuffy compared to the outside."

"Next, everyone takes a paper bag to prevent the interior of the car from getting dirty if they vomit."

"These are seats, and one seat can hold one person."

"Let's find out where you want to sit, gentlemen."

Li Er, Li Zhi, father and son sat down side by side.

Opposite are Changsun Wuji and Wei Yan.

Nearby, there are a group of prime ministers and important ministers sitting.

"Is this the glass window?"

Many of them are knowledgeable.

Opening the mouth tells the material of the glass window.

But you must know that it was the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built a quiet room for himself, so that the moonlight at night could fall from the top of his head and shine on his head. Records were left in the history books.

and……

It must have been very difficult to create such a quiet room at that time.

Even now, it is not an easy task to create so many such transparent glazed windows.

Wei Yan could only answer the other party: "It's about the same, but... don't think about dismantling it and selling it for money, because this thing is worthless."

If Cheng Yang was here today, she would definitely be amused by Wei Yan's words.

"Moreover, in the future, I have to ask Situ to formulate relevant laws to severely punish this kind of vandalism."

Situ was referring to Changsun Wuji, of course.

In fact, Changsun Wuji is still useful.

Especially when it comes to making laws.

As for other aspects...it's a bit difficult to say.

After talking to everyone about the precautions, Wei Yan finally let the driver drive.

And the electric locomotive moved forward bit by bit amidst the restlessness of the crowd.

Fifty kilometers per hour.

It is also the current limited top speed.

When the locomotive really moved smoothly on the track, everyone slowly seemed to be less afraid.

and……

The prime minister's group is here.

I also slowly recalled the little steam locomotive that used to run on the track.

This is the difference between model and reality.

All I can say is, this thing is amazing.

Outside……

The farmland and trees on both sides of the road disappeared quickly before their eyes little by little.

This speed, even with many horses, is difficult to achieve.

Of course, if it is a full-speed run in a short period of time, then it must be no problem.

but……

Now they have been able to maintain this speed.

While watching the rapidly disappearing scenery outside, Li Er couldn't help saying with some emotion: "If I was already surprised when I took out the model before, then I was even more surprised when I saw the real thing. Wei Yan, what else did your teacher teach you?"

The only thing Li Er can confirm is that Wei Yan and his teacher should not have taught him to break into the harem at night.

When everyone heard Li Er's words, they all turned their attention to Wei Yan.

teacher! ?
How come they have never heard of it before.

Sensing the gazes around him, Wei Yan also said, "It's a pity that my teacher died too early, otherwise I can learn more."

It's nonsense again.

But now everyone seems to understand a little bit, it is not unreasonable for Wei Yan to be favored.

Just based on this alone, if anyone can create it, it must be a great achievement.

"Master Ding still has a teacher?"

Changsun Wuji also asked curiously.

Li Zhi was obviously curious too.

Wei Yan then said: "There is no one in the world who doesn't have a teacher. It's a bit boring in the car, so let's play chess. I like to play blind chess, which is less mentally demanding. Which of you can play?"

Li Er: "..."

Changsun Wuji: "..."

Li Zhi: "I'll come. How to play?"

Then Wei Yan took out a box of chess and laid it out on the table in front of him.

It's just something a three-year-old would play.

And it's all by luck.
