Chapter 699 Historical Issues
"Very good! Very powerful!"
Zhu Yicheng put down the Qianli Jing in his hand and couldn't help but say this.
Huang Luzhuang, who had been watching the experiment from the beginning to the end, was also excited. The success of the experiment made him very excited, but as the highest commander of on-site technology, he still maintained his rationality.
After calming down, Huang Luzhuang immediately stepped forward to command personnel to test the various parts of the locomotive to ensure the experimental results and first-hand data. Under his command, everyone quickly became busy, and each technician was involved in the intense work. Zhu Yicheng did not disturb them, and was still sitting in the distance and waiting quietly.
As the test results were collected one by one, Huangluzhuang was able to read the data, and sometimes she was happy and frowned, and pondered something for a while. After a while, she quickly wrote and painted on paper with a pen...
After a long time, he suddenly realized that he had neglected Zhu Yicheng and quickly put down the things in his hand to apologize to Zhu Yicheng.
"It's okay, although I don't understand technology, I also know the importance of first-hand experimental data. Besides, you just gave me a satisfactory answer. So what if I waited for a while?" Zhu Yicheng waved his hand and smiled without caring.
"The Emperor's Holy Lord!" Huang Luzhuang breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully.
"What is the result of the experiment? When will this kind of train be officially put into use?" Zhu Yicheng asked bluntly.
Huang Luzhuang thought for a while and then said, "When I return to the emperor, there are still some problems that need to be adjusted and solved. If the teacher goes well, the next experiment will be better. However, it may take some time to officially put it into use. After all, this object is the first time I have been experimenting with this object. There are still many things that need to be improved. In addition, it will take a period of trial operation before it can be done."
"This is what it should be." Zhu Yicheng didn't expect to succeed in one go. After all, this thing was the first experiment invested by the institute. It took Huangluzhuang and all the scientific and technological personnel several years to create. If the first experiment was completely successful and then it could be officially produced, even Zhu Yi in Chengdu would not believe it.
Science is not a random fantasy, and science cannot be mixed with any falsehood. Especially for the current trains, although from the moment, this experiment has achieved great success, as Huang Luzhuang said, there are still many things to improve. Only by constantly improving and finalizing can it be considered a true success. Moreover, as the first generation of locomotives, there is still a lot of room for future progress, and the institute needs to continue to work hard.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Yicheng asked whether it could be formally established and put into production within one year. Huang Luzhuang said yes to this question. This reply made Zhu Yicheng very happy.
The successful development of the steam train will make the Ming Dynasty truly put on its wings to fly and start to rush towards industrialization. Zhu Yicheng even thought of the railway network across the country, and the carriages that were pulling goods and people rushed to all parts of the country in the whistling sound of the locomotive.
If the entire China is compared to one person, then the railway network is the artery of this person. The more developed the railway network, the smoother the blood circulation will be.
With the completion of the railway network and the operation of trains, both materials and personnel can be transferred from any place to another place at the fastest speed. This not only strengthens interoperability in various places, but more importantly, it promotes all aspects, allowing the Ming Dynasty to rule and manage more effectively.
Let’s not talk about other things, just talk about local disasters that have been plaguing all dynasties. In terms of current information transmission, it often takes a long time to pass the news to the court center after a disaster occurs in a remote area. Even if there is a special channel of the Jinyiwei, it has been a long time since the center learned the news.
Then, after learning the news, the center decided to rescue the disaster, and the subsequent transportation of disaster relief materials and the implementation of disaster relief operations are even more of a big problem. In many cases, no matter how fast the court responds, it will inevitably cause great losses. If some local officials deliberately conceal it and do not report it, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.
The construction of the railway is completely different. After the railway is completed, the distance between the two has been greatly shortened, making the journey that originally took ten days and half a month or even longer can be compressed to just a few days or even one or two days.
The closer distance not only makes the court's news more timely, but also facilitates the call of materials and population transportation. In addition, the enhanced population flow and communication can also prevent the center from making mistakes in the local area. This is extremely beneficial for better grasping the local area and making various policy adjustments.
As for military purposes, let alone railways have a stronger role in military aspects. The mobilization of troops, material preparation, logistics supplements, etc., have almost earth-shaking changes in all aspects. Zhu Yicheng could imagine how big the changes this would have been for the Ming Dynasty once the railway network was built, and what would it bring to the Ming Dynasty.
However, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to build a railway network that is as developed as later generations. The railway network of later Republics is the highest in the world in its overall length, but this was gradually built over the past hundred years, with the efforts of several generations in the late Qing Dynasty and the investment of the entire country.
Zhu Yicheng is not the man who was obviously a doctor but pretended to be a doctor in his later generations, and he would not imitate him to use a pen and a ruler to draw countless straight lines on it, and then ambition to the world to build a 100,000-kilometer railway in one go.
In this era, real highways were not realized. After the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yicheng gradually implemented the renovation and expansion of official roads between the government and the government or the prefecture to the county. In the past five or six years, he had only started to travel in several important places in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. As for other places, especially those remote and backward areas, let alone official roads, it would be very good to have a muddy road.
The Ming Dynasty is now much more prosperous than before, on the basis of encouraging commerce. Moreover, with the Ming Dynasty's continuous attention to the ocean, sea transportation began to occupy a large proportion, making north-south more interconnected and east-west exchanges. But in fact, these changes are only limited, and transportation is still inconvenient in places far away from the ocean line, or the Yangtze River or the Yellow River line.
There is an old saying that can be reflected, that is, transportation is basically based on walking, communication is basically based on yelling, and public security is basically based on dogs...
Such places are everywhere inland and forests. For a long time, the so-called imperial power in various dynasties in China is a convention, but in fact it is a condition. Why did Qin Shihuang spend a lot of effort to build a road connecting the world? What is his purpose? Do you still understand?
