Mass Effect 3/3
Although the death of the West King Sheng Chen shocked the world, it did not affect the development and planning of the Supreme Mighty Empire.
Industrial machine tools finally appeared in this world thanks to the vigorous research and development of the Imperial Academy of Science.
With the emergence of industrial machines, the Supreme Mighty Empire's spare parts in many places have become more efficient, causing the Supreme Mighty Empire to develop faster and faster day by day.
The Ninth year of AD.
After unremitting efforts, the steam locomotive finally appeared.
Yun Yun led dozens of ministers and looked at the steel monster in front of him, surrounded by people watching the excitement.
"Your Majesty, this is the steam locomotive developed by the Imperial Academy of Science through unremitting efforts over the years."
"After improvements made by ministers and others, this steam locomotive can travel hundreds of miles in one hour."
The minister of the Academy of Science said proudly.
Their Imperial Science Academy lived up to expectations and developed something epoch-making.
"An hour? Did I not hear it right? A hundred miles?" Hearing this, the finance minister looked at him suspiciously digging into his ear trying to hear him again.
"Yes, it can cover a hundred miles in half an hour, and the steam locomotive will not stop like horses."
"That means that now it will only take us four or five days to arrive in the Western Lands."
The Prime Minister was also a little unconvinced.
It means a lot if you don't need an animal like horses, as they can easily get tired.
"Not at the moment." The minister of the Academy of Science shook his head.
"Why?" the finance minister asked in confusion.
"Railways need to be laid to allow steam locomotives which will soon transform into trains that will go where they can. Without rails, steam locomotives can't go anywhere."
The president of the Imperial Academy of Science pointed to the left and right rails under the steam locomotive and explained: "Currently, we have only laid this rail to Ghost Valley, which requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources."
"The imperial capital is about four hundred miles away from Ghost Valley. If you can ensure that I arrive at Ghost Valley within two hours, then I will grant you funds to lay this kind of railway track."
The finance minister pondered for a moment and then gritted his teeth and said.
He had already thought of a lot in one moment.
If it is possible to travel back and forth between the two places quickly as this old guy said, this will bring huge economic effects to the empire.
He has realized the essence of what His Majesty the Emperor said if you want to be rich, build roads first.
In recent years, his Ministry of Finance has spent large amounts of money to build cement roads.
There is more and more money in the Ministry of Finance, the empire's income is also increasing rapidly, and the living standards of the people have also been greatly improved due to road construction.
Therefore, it can bring income to the empire and bring a better living environment to the people of the empire.
He agrees that this steam locomotive has a bright future.
"This is what you said, don't go back on it." The minister of the Imperial Academy of Science stared at him.
"How can I go back on what I said? Besides, His Majesty, the Prime Minister, and the Minister of Justice are all here, how can I dare to break my promise?"
said the financial minister.
"My minister, if this is true, I'm afraid my minister will have to worry about the expenditure of money from the national treasury."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will never dare to break my promise. Besides, this is a major event that benefits the country and the people. Even if I was with courage, I will not dare to delay the development of the empire."
"Then I'll be relieved." Seeing the Minister of Finance's arrangement, Yun Yun nodded with a satisfied smile.
"My Minister, since your Imperial Academy of Science has come up with such an epoch-making thing, I must set an example for the people of the empire. I haven't been to Ghost Valley for many years, so I just happened to take this steam locomotive and go to Ghost Valley to have a look. " Yun Yun said with a smile.
"How can Your Majesty do this? won't there be danger? It's better to let the old minister take your Majesty's place..."
All the ministers were shocked. We still don't know how stable this thing is. How can we let the emperor take risks?
"No, I believe in the Imperial Academy of Science."
Yun Yun waved his hand to stop the ministers' remarks and naturally chose to get on the steam locomotive.
Many Imperial Guard guards nearby quickly followed the seven-car steam locomotive formation; it was a spearhead formation.
When the ministers saw the emperor, they all walked up to him in person without hesitating too much.
Let them write and witness the history of the empire.
Entering this relatively small compartment, Yun Yun was not too surprised. The space was spacious enough.
"Your Majesty, this carriage designed by our Imperial Academy of Science is used to transport people, so it is equipped with seats. Each carriage is about 15.5 meters long, 3 meters high, and 3 meters wide."
"The aisle is 2.6 feet. There are two seats on both sides of the aisle, and each seat occupies 1.6 feet."
"The front seat and the back seat are 1.6 feet apart, and we have set up seats for 100 people in one car."
Naturally, the Minister of the Imperial Academy of Science also climbed onto the steam locomotive, following Yun Yun and explaining to him.
"Six cars, does that mean it can transport 600 people at one time?"
"almost."
"Can we add more cars?" the finance minister frowned and asked.
"As long as the steam locomotive has that power, it can be increased. If we want to transport troops, we can remove these seats. It shouldn't be a problem to pull 200 people in one carriage." The president of the Imperial Academy of Science nodded.
"Is it okay to transport supplies?" This is what the Prime Minister is most concerned about.
"naturally."
"Are you sure there is no problem with the connection between your train carriages? Will it fall off due to excessive speed or some other reason?" Yun Yun raised his eyebrows, safety was the most important thing.
"Your Majesty can rest assured that the connection between the carriages is very stable and was designed by an engineer from our institute who specializes in this area of technology."
"The connection method is also very simple as if our two hands are clasped together, which not only serves as a connection but also acts as a buffer." The minister of the Academy of Science said with confidence.
Hearing this, Yun Yun nodded with satisfaction. He seemed to have seen this kind of thing online. It has been used for more than a hundred years and has never been eliminated.
Unexpectedly, his empire is full of talents.
Developed this thing.
soon.
This steam locomotive made a huge roar.
"Boom, boom, boom."
A rhythmic sound sounded.
The steam train moved.
The ministers seemed to have seen something surprising, looking at the scenery outside the window that began to recede, as if their Grandma had been waiting for them when they entered the Grand View Garden.
Feeling the wind blowing outside the window, Yun Yun said to the minister of the Science Academy next to him: "This thing still needs improvement. If the speed is increased in the future, will anything happen?"
"If it's a severe cold season and the cold wind blows in from outside, will it have any impact on the people riding the steam locomotive?"
The minister of the Academy of Science listened carefully to His Majesty's story and did not interrupt. Instead, he took out a small notebook and started recording it next to him.
"The speed of this steam locomotive is not bad, and it is smoother than a horse-drawn carriage. Yes, this is a good thing for the benefit of the common people of the empire. With this steam locomotive train in the empire, won't traveling take less time such as five days? Yes, you've finally done something great that benefits the country and the people!"
