Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1003 Fengyan Joy

  The face of the Empress Dowager turned pale in an instant.

  She is also a well-informed person.

  But... such a huge car suddenly began to vibrate.

what happened? What's wrong?

  He couldn't help but look out of the glass window.

  Outside the glass window, there are guards from the Eastern Palace and soldiers from the Flying Ball Battalion. They stand upright like javelins, with no expression on their faces.

  The Empress Dowager also saw billowing thick smoke, which apparently came from the front of the car and flew backwards.

  In the carriage, it is airtight.

  Dense smoke will not come in.

   What's more, perfume is sprayed everywhere here, even a lot of furniture, and the fragrance of soap.

But…

  The steam train began to tremble again.

  As if some force made it shake, the neighing sound became more urgent.

   Zhou regretted it.

  She subconsciously began to grab the railing next to the sofa, and then raised her eyes to see Fang Jifan's slightly embarrassed face.

  …

  In fact, because of the wooden walls, carpets and sofas in the No. 1 car, many vibrations are filtered out, and the comfort is still good.

  In the second car, people are sitting on the sofa, and that picture is already about to cry.

  He doesn't want to die. There are really old fathers and mothers in his family, as well as children.

   Moreover, once a person dies in this giant steel beast, God knows how to die, maybe there will be no bones left.

  He gritted his teeth, his face was pale, surrounded by the howling of many people, the people who can sit here are either rich or noble, they all have brilliant lives, have countless glory and wealth, they don't want to die.

  No. 4, No. 5, No. 6...in the compartment.

  People raced into the car like canned food, like sardines, and stood one by one. Someone shouted: "I want to get off."

   rushed to the door, only to find that the door was not moving at all, as if it had been welded to death.

  People slapped the carriage, this carriage...is indeed familiar, there is a bang bang bang bang, but...it is still motionless.

  Boom...

  The ground seemed to be trembling, and suddenly, the sound of rumbling rumbling began to rush.

   Immediately afterwards, the scenery outside the car window began to move.

   moved... moved...

   It's good that it doesn't move, but once it moves, the sardines in the carriage suddenly boil.

  Originally they considered death by suffocation.

   But suffocation leaves the whole body after all.

   Now, the method of death may be different, what a huge steel monster it is, if it moves, if it hits something, or...

  …

  Zhang Ye could feel that due to the inertia of his body, when the car was moving, the car was slightly out of balance.

   Soon, he found that, through the window, the compartment was brightened up.

  It was a steam locomotive, and it started to drive out of the station. Immediately, wisps of sunlight came in, and the scenery outside began to change.

  With sunshine, Zhang Ye suddenly regained some courage.

  Other people in the carriage moved closer to the glass window one after another. They were all dumbfounded, watching the moving scene outside.

   "There is Daming Palace...it is Daming Palace..."

   "Look, there's..."

  The steam locomotive started to go faster and faster, faster and faster.

   It's strange to say that the faster the speed, the more stable the carriage actually becomes.

  Zhang Ye opened his eyes wide and couldn't help looking at the scenery outside, but the faster the scenery passed by, the faster he could not help but start to feel a little worried.

  If something happens, it will definitely be an ugly death.

  I still want to get out of the car.

  ...

  Following the inertia, the train galloped crazily on the rails. It kept roaring, and the rows of wheels below made a rattling sound. The chimney above the head emitted black smoke, curling up into the sky.

   Compartment No. 1 was completely stabilized. The Empress Dowager looked out of the window in surprise, and then looked inside the carriage. She said to Fang Jifan, "This is..."

   "This is a steam locomotive, made by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

   "Ah, he really made it? How many horses are needed to pull it?"

"No need for horses." Fang Jifan felt that the explanation was a bit laborious, and he danced and gestured: "Rely on coal, just use coal. Once the coal is burned, it will generate heat, and the heat will push the piston, which will push the transmission system. Then the wheels will move by themselves, and the rails will be reduced." Friction, then, by inertia."

   "Don't say these things are not available."

  Fang Jifan: "..."

For the first time, someone dared to treat the truth that he regarded as the standard, as if it was something, and replaced Fang Jifan's previous temper. died.

Fang Jifan was happy: "In short, it can move by itself, it doesn't need a horse, and it can be pulled up at one time... Let me calculate, eight carriages... There are probably four to five hundred people. If there are more, it is also possible. Our goal Yes, we will attract 2,000 people in the future."

  The Empress Dowager couldn't help being shocked as she looked at the passing scenery outside.

  In the world, there are really things like wooden cows and horses.

   Of course, these... are secondary.

  The important thing is that its creator is his own grandson.

   "It's a good thing." The Empress Dowager was overjoyed: "It's a good thing."

  Fang Jifan is a little confused, I haven't explained the internal structure, and I haven't talked to the empress in detail about how much impact this thing has on the national economy and people's livelihood.

  This...is a good thing?

  Zhou said: "Look, it's comfortable to sit, and it doesn't need a horse. It can pull so many people. The Ai family thinks that this thing must be of great use."

  Fang Jifan raised his thumbs up: "Your Majesty is really perceptive, Sun Chen is not as good as your Majesty, in case, this thing, its greatest use..."

Mrs. Zhou sighed and looked very excited. She looked much younger and patted the coffee table: "I knew that the prince was smart since he was a child. He is different from other children. Fortunately, the emperor taught him all the time. What is this?" , This is a blind eye."

Fang Jifan didn't dare to agree, he tilted his neck and thought about it for a long time, and said in his heart, if I knew it was something made by your great-grandson, it was a good thing, no matter what your highness the crown prince is, he is smart and clever, and the crown prince is mighty, so it's still a science. What, Fang Jifan was overjoyed: "Your Majesty understands righteousness deeply, and I think so too. Your Highness is mighty, Your Highness is amazing, Your Highness is knowledgeable and talented, and is peerless!"

   Zhou smiled from ear to ear: "You are also very good."

"No, no, no." Amidst the roar of the train, Fang Jifan shook his head, blinked his eyes, and looked very sincere: "Sun Chen was barely able to match the shoes for His Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is so amazing, so I just said this train , enough to make him famous all over the world, for generations to come..."

   "You are too humble."

  Fang Jifan licked his lips, and said to the nearby maid: "Go, bring me a cup of tea, my mouth is a little dry, I want to talk to the empress about His Royal Highness's car building."

  For people who don't like to use rational thinking, you go to explain the principle and meaning to her, which is tantamount to looking for smoke.

  Fang Jifan simply didn’t think about the dirty things like science. It was used to brainwash the students. To deal with the empress dowager, he had to use chicken soup.

When the maidservant brought the tea, Fang Jifan drank the tea in one gulp and exhaled: "Your Majesty, we know that Your Highness spent several years building this car, but you know how much Your Highness spent to build this car?" This time, danger is everywhere? Do you know that His Royal Highness often holds this car at night..."

   Zhou's face turned green, can the car be hugged?

Fang Jifan continued: "I fell asleep holding the blueprint of this car? Madam, His Royal Highness, whether it is windy or rainy, severe cold or hot summer, he locks himself up all day long, thinking about it every day, how is it going to be?" Only then can a car be built without horses pulling it, he built this car to benefit the country and the people is second, he wants to prove himself, and he wants to show his mother!"

   Mrs. Zhou was surprised and said: "Show Aijia..."

Fang Jifan said eloquently: "Of course, he knew since he was a child that the person who loves him most in the world is his empress. Although he doesn't tell people, but he thinks in his heart that he wants to build a car so that his empress can help him." Come and sit down, Niang Niang sits here comfortably, no matter how much time and price he spends, he will have no regrets."

   Zhou: "..."

  …

  A huge monster, like a long snake, began to appear in front of people.

  All passers-by looked at this huge moving steel monster in amazement. This monster was tens of feet long and had a huge body. Anyone who stood in front of him seemed insignificant.

  The protruding huge front of the car is extraordinarily ferocious. It continuously spews a lot of thick smoke and neighs.

  The most frightening thing is that it is moving fast. When people stop and watch it appear along the railroad tracks, it will soon disappear, leaving behind billowing smoke and dragging its huge body.

  Emperor Hongzhi left the palace frantically with all the officials, as well as countless eunuchs and guards.

  He hasn't arrived at the station yet, everything is already late.

  Xiao Jing beside him exclaimed: "Your Majesty, look..."

  Emperor Hongzhi got out of the carriage, and then he saw the huge monster galloping fast. Behind him, all the guards and eunuchs were in an uproar.

what is that…

  That... looks like a car.

  But this carriage is a hundred times larger than ordinary carriages.

  The car came towards Emperor Hongzhi.

  At this time, some people from the road guard team flew over and shouted: "Don't get close to the rails, don't get close to the rails, back up... back up!"

  The distance from the railway track to the car is only a few dozen feet.

  As soon as people heard that they should not approach the rails, all of them subconsciously moved further away from the rails.

  Emperor Hongzhi stood still, and only then did he realize that the huge steel monster was actually coming in his direction.

  Boom...boom...

  Wherever the monster passed, the earth seemed to tremble.

  Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded, and pointed with his hand: "Stop it!"

  All the guards and eunuchs were trembling and trembling.

  The huge roar had covered the voice of Emperor Hongzhi.
