Chapter 522 The train is not for sale Quan Xu walked up to Sun Yuan's incarnation, patted him on the shoulder and said, "How are you preparing!"
”"After trial and error, this steam engine is more powerful than ever!"
Sun Yuanhua said excitedly: "Please announce the test run!"
”Quan Xu nodded, there were three or four hundred people who came to participate in the steam locomotive test this time, all of whom were members of the Liaodong Mansion.Quan Xu picked up the speaker, for this kind of formulaic speech, Quan Xu no longer needs to prepare a speech, he can be said to open his mouth: "Colleagues of the Industrial Party, we all know that water power is a very wonderful force, which can make a huge machine run in a loud noise, and one person can operate a machine to complete the work that used to have to be done by dozens or even hundreds of people.We can build factories on the banks of rivers with strong currents, but the question is where there are no strong rivers?
”The crowd was deflated, and there were always a few places where there was a big river, and where there was no big river, these things were still far away from them.In fact, many cities in ancient China were prosperous because of rivers, because rivers can reduce transportation costs and increase transportation volume, such as Hangzhou, before the Sui and Tang dynasties, Hangzhou was not a famous city in the world, and the ranking was not very high.After the rise of the canal, of course, there is the city of Beijing.Quan Xu continued: "Where there is no strong river, these sophisticated machines have become a pile of scrap metal, unable to move!"
This is undoubtedly very unfair to those who live far from the river!
”Everyone said, "Yes, yes, that's not fair!"
”"Luckily, God is always generous!"
Quan Xu pointed to the steel giant beast in the distance and said excitedly, "It gave us a lot of options, but we just didn't notice."
Now, what we want to show you is a new kind of power, a power that can make machines run like flying even in the desert and work for me!
Begin!
”With Quan Xu's order, more than a dozen people lifted the canvas covering the steel giant beast, and suddenly, the audience was in an uproar, and some officials even jumped up!
The steel behemoth was docked on the steel tracks, and in order to test the steam engine train, the steam engine project team led by Sun Yuanhua built a 3.8-kilometer-long circular railway.Sun Yuanhua was able to build a steam engine, and it was all thanks to him.Since Quan Xu opened a film and television company, the art team of the scenery made a treasure, a steam engine train produced by the Sifang Railway Factory in 1954.In fact, after the retirement of steam engine trains, various steam engine trains were stacked on the private railway platforms of many enterprises, such as China's first production of No. 81, which was changed to JF2101 after changing its name in 1959.The locomotive was missing for decades after leaving the factory, and it was not until 1991 that it was found in a company in Huludao, Jinzhou, and is now preserved by the China Railway Museum.It can be seen how careless this kind of scrapped and retired steam locomotive was at that time, and Lao Cheng's original unit had four scrapped steam locomotives, which had been parked on the rusty rails.However, it is a pity that this locomotive has been dismantled into scrap iron, and it was originally planned to be disposed of as scrap iron, but Quan Xu spent 500,000 yuan to buy it.It took three flatbed trucks to load this behemoth and transport it to the original sports factory warehouse, where it was thrown by Quan Xu to Liaodong.After Sun Yuanhua understood the principle of the steam engine, he began to learn to disassemble and assemble the steam engine train, and after mastering these technologies, he began to imitate it.The steam engine train in this test is very characteristic of Liaodong.It is dark and swarthy, angular and angular, not even painted, and the structure is very complex, divided into boilers, condensers, cylinders, pistons, governors, throttle valves, etc., and you are dizzy when you look at it.The vast majority of people have never seen such a huge steel machine in their lives, and they all made it stunned, looking at it, a steel-like mountain of mountains and mountains poured in, making them breathless!
Some of the guys who studied the machine squinted their eyes and looked at the big creature curiously, wondering how big a waterwheel should be used, and how strong the current should be to drive it.It turns out that they are overthinking, just as they mutter.Sun Huayuan had already ignited the boiler, and then a strong man picked up a shovel and shoveled anthracite into the boiler, and soon, the fire was blazing......
Fortunately, anthracite coal was burned, otherwise the scene would have been covered by thick smoke and dark clouds.The fire in the boiler grew stronger and stronger, and the machine gradually emitted a trace of white vapor, which made a low noise from the inside, which was not obvious at first, but the sound was getting louder and louder.Everyone became more and more interested, and watched without blinking, and some people had already guessed that there must be water in the machine, and so much coal was added to it, and the water was about to boil.Sure enough, a moment later, the machine let out a thunderous roar, and it seemed as if a giant was rampage through it, knocking the huge heavy creature into a climax, and the scene was a little scary.Many deputies were so frightened that they covered their eyes and did not dare to look at them.Several craftsmen checked it again and made a "safe" gesture at Sun Yuanhua.Quan Xu slowly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pointed at the machine that looked like an angry porcupine, and said loudly: "Everyone saw it, right?
Water can drive the machine, and fire can drive the machine!
Coal, charcoal, peat, firewood and even garbage, as long as it can be burned, and the fire is fierce enough, can drive this machine!
”Zhu Xun frowned slightly: "Master Hou, this machine moves a lot and will move, but it's meaningless, because it will only roar in vain like a lion trapped in a cage, and it will be useless to us!"
”Everyone agreed in unison.Indeed, it is amazing to make such a big machine make such a big noise, but that's all, there seems to be nothing in its whole body to make the machine move, and this kind of machine that can only listen to a sound has a fart.Quan Xu heard the questioning voice and smiled slightly: "Sun Yuanhua!"
”Sun Yuanhua was slightly stunned, he was pseudonym Sun Dongyang, but he didn't expect to be broken by Quan Xu.Although there is no ID card in this era, it is easy to impersonate, but the problem is, as a project leader, if he does not review it clearly, how can Quan Xu hand over more than 700,000 taels of silver to him?"
Let's drive!"
If it is said that it will take a long way to let this steam engine drive the machine tool, but let him pull the train, it is a breeze, because this is a full-fledged steam locomotive.This train belongs to the same type as the "Bayi" train, which can pull 16 carriages and carry 1,250 tons, you must know that 1,250 tons, that is, more than 13,500 stones, even if it is loaded in a four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage, it will require four or five hundred carriages.The train was immediately loaded with six carriages and ready to depart.Quan Xu asked all the people present to board the train, and the train at this time was not the kind of carriage with seats, but a flat plate with a circle of guardrails around it.Three or four hundred people boarded six carriages at the same time, and they were still not full, which was the standard carriage of later generations, not to mention three or four hundred people standing on it, even if it was sitting, it could sit five or six hundred people.Looking at the empty carriage, Quan Xu said: "Load two thousand bags of grain!"
”With Quan Xu's order, all the craftsmen carried the grain in the warehouse to the carriage, two thousand bags are equivalent to one hundred tons, which is just a small matter.When the grain was loaded, the air pressure of the train was also reached.With the sound of a whistle.The people on the tracks began to empty, and the steam engine train began to start slowly."
Bang, bang!"
The steam engine train began to slowly accelerate, getting faster and faster.The sound of the wind was clearly felt in your ears, and of course the most important thing was the sound of steel clashing and grinding.Facts speak louder than words, and now the parliamentarians looked at the steam engine train, and their eyes became hot.Transportation capacity and transportation loss are the biggest factors restricting economic development, although the cement roads in eastern Liaodong have been built, and there are more and more heavy horse-drawn carriages, compared with traditional two-wheeled carriages, four-wheeled carriages have obvious advantages.But the problem is that this kind of carriage requires two horses, and three horses can't be dragged away from the concrete road, of course, the losses are not nothing, but relatively reduced.In particular, the construction of blast furnaces is getting bigger, which makes it more and more difficult to transport ore, and almost all steel mills cannot operate at full capacity.Everyone was very excited, but Jeon Wook was not very happy.Whoever spends 700,000 taels of silver to get a Thomas train out will not be happy.In addition, Quan Xu thought at first that he was smart enough to omit the roadbed when building the highway, but the problem was that there was no way for trains and roads to coexist.People can control it, but if the war horse is not controlled, it is easy to cause disastrous consequences.When the steam engine train, around the 3.8-kilometer track, hula ran for more than two hours, the coal in the carriage ran out, and then slowly stopped.However, of course, when the train stopped, Jeon Wook felt that his ears were deaf.However, businessmen with a keen sense of smell immediately discovered the economic value of steam trains.Cheng Jingxian worked with farmers in five surrounding towns to grow a large amount of cotton on the original site of Zuotunwei in Shenyang, but the problem was that transportation became a big problem.Although the cotton is not heavy, it is large, and it is afraid of water and burning, and it is quite difficult to transport, so he was the first to run to Quan Xu and said: "Master Hou, how much silver does this steam engine train need, and I am going to buy five of them!"
”"I'll buy three!""
I need to buy ten!"
Quan Xu looked at everyone: "Colleagues, this train is not for sale!"
”Nowadays, Shenyang and Jianzhou have become the grain planting bases in eastern Liaodong, and more than 43 million mu of grain fields have been reclaimed.If you can't eat all the grain, you will definitely have to sell it, but you lose too much money on the way, and the farmers can lose a lot of money.Shen Mingze was a little puzzled: "Master Hou, why isn't this train sold?"
