Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Half a month later.

In addition to the fourth child Zhu Xiaye, there are several more people around Zhu Xiafeng, Zhu Xiaqiu and Zhu Xiaxuan!

Either about the same age as them, or a young man in his twenties.

These people were all descendants of the important officials in the court, and were sent to Zhu Xifeng and the others to act as bodyguards or companions!

And these children who can be sent to the Han Palace to accompany the crown prince and princes or serve as guards are all carefully selected within the family. It can also be said that they will all be the second or second generation of key training within the family. Third Generation!

Not everyone can be qualified to study with the prince or be a chamberlain. In other words, this group of people will grow up with Zhu Xifeng and the others, but those who can persevere to the end will definitely be able to do so in the future. He will be a dragon and a phoenix among people, and he will also be a close friend of Zhu Xifeng and others!

But if they have bad conduct and insufficient abilities, they will not only waste opportunities, but may also cause trouble for their respective families, or even suffer disaster!

This is a double-edged sword, so the disciples who can be sent to it must have been strictly screened!

Zhu Li is quite satisfied with these disciples who were sent.

In other words, I am indeed quite satisfied with the ones that can stay, but at the same time, I have also eliminated a few that failed to meet Zhu Yue’s requirements!

As for the withdrawal, it is not against anyone, it is simply that you have not met my requirements, so those ministers do not dare to have any dissatisfaction!

Because Zhu Yue is already a bowl of water, all the children from these important ministers' families have been selected, and this is enough!

After handling this matter, Zhu Biao took a group of officials to Hanzhong Mansion in person. The purpose was naturally to build the railway!

Nowadays, only Hanzhong Prefecture has a section of railway track for testing and a steam engine train. It is okay for these officials to experience the feeling of riding a train!

The figure-eight-shaped closed track, although the actual track length is only a few kilometers, can still test the speed of the train, even if you want to ride for a long time, there is no problem!

When Zhu Yue and Zhu Biao led a group of ministers to the locomotive, except for the few important ministers who had traveled through time, all the other ministers had a look of astonishment on their faces!

Such a big iron lump weighs several thousand kilograms at least, right?

No need for horses to pull, just burning coal to run?

Are you sure this isn't a joke?

No wonder these ministers have such thoughts in their minds. Things like steam trains are beyond their thinking and cognition!

During the previous power test, there was actually only one locomotive running on this railway track, and it did not pull the carriages, or in other words, it only pulled a few carriages for testing. It was just breeding, and no design and interior design of the carriages were carried out. put up!

Also in order to allow a group of ministers to have a good experience this time, Zhu Yue temporarily had two train cars modified to make them rideable!

One is a seat car and the other is a sleeper car!

Since we want these ministers to experience the feeling of riding a train, let’s just do it in one step and let them experience it whether they are sitting or lying down!

When Zhu Biao led a group of ministers onto the carriage, except for Zhang Yan and a few others, the other ministers had a look of shock on their faces!

There are more than a hundred seats in this large carriage, which means that this carriage can seat at least more than a hundred people!

"Your Highness, the train you mentioned is so huge that it really doesn't need horses and only needs to burn coal to run?"

Immediately, some ministers asked Zhu Biao their questions.

What they saw in front of them really shocked them!

But if they just looked at the stationary train, they still couldn't believe that such a huge thing could actually run on its own!

And even if you can really run, your speed must be only a turtle speed, right?

What's the point of this?

"This time I let you experience the train, just to let you experience it for yourself. You will get the answer to this question yourself later!"

"All we can say is that not only can this train run, but its speed will never be slower than a carriage!"

Zhu Biao said with confidence on his face.

He had already asked Zhu Yue how fast the train could run now, so he did not panic at all when facing various inquiries from ministers!

Although this is the first locomotive built, the speed can already reach 50-70 kilometers per hour!

This is just the normal driving speed. If it is fully loaded and driven at the fastest speed, it can reach 80-90 kilometers per hour!

Of course, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to drive at the highest speed, which will affect the life of the locomotive and also pose safety risks!

But even at a speed of about 60 kilometers per hour, taking Hanzhong Prefecture to Xi'an Prefecture as an example, even if a railway of about 200 kilometers is built, it will take about three hours to arrive, and the entire journey will take no more than two hours. In other words, it takes four hours to reach Xi'an from Hanzhong!

In other words, if you start from Hanzhong in the morning and take a round trip from Xi'an in the evening, it's not a problem to get back to Xi'an, and you still have a whole afternoon to spare!

When Zhu Biao told these data, except for a few ministers, all the other ministers had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Although they thought it was unbelievable or impossible, no one dared to question it in front of Zhu Biao.

In fact, there is no need to raise doubts. Those who have doubts think that if the train starts running at all later, or if it runs at a slow speed, then it will naturally be more effective than any doubt!

Soon, Zhu Yue also came to the carriage, and everyone's eyes were focused on His Highness the King of Han.

"Lao Jiu, can the train start?"

Zhu Biao asked Zhu Yue directly.

"Everyone, please choose a seat and sit down. You can stand if you want. The train will start moving soon!"

Zhu Yue smiled and nodded, and then sat down directly in one of the seats. Zhu Biao also sat next to him. The two brothers said something as if no one was watching.

When the other ministers saw this, they all looked at each other, but they didn't say much, and they all found a place to sit down.

There were only about a hundred ministers who came to Hanzhong with Zhu Biao this time, and the whole carriage could fit in them.

Outside the compartment, there was the dull sound of the train's whistle. Zhu Biao had already greeted them before, saying that the train would whistle, and asked them not to make a fuss when they heard the noise.

But after a group of ministers heard this news, their expressions changed unconsciously, but no one did anything extraordinary!

At this time, the carriage suddenly moved, and then a mechanical friction sound of "click, click" was heard, and this sound also accelerated rhythmically and regularly!

"Why do I feel like the trees and mountains outside are receding?"
