The Great Sect of Science and Technology

Chapter 473: Why the world is different

"Don't be nervous, I'm here this time, but I just brought a fellow junior to see this dragon car. There are more interruptions, please forgive me." Ye Zan said to everyone with a smile.

"Dare to dare, it is my pleasure to be able to walk with the two mages. The two mages please come in quickly." The businessmen looked rather frightened, and quickly gave Ye Zan and Li Haoran to the upper seat.

When Ye Zan and Li Haoran sat down, several businessmen stood on each side, bowing and waiting for Ye Zan's order. This small world is a bit different from the realm of Shenhua, because Dao Gong is the actual ruler of the small world, and almost all monks are the people of Dao Gong. Therefore, the mundane mortals have a great awe of any monk, and dare not take any slightness for it.

Ye Zan shook his head and waved his hand to a few businessmen and said, "Several people don't have to be so restrained, just sit at will. I happen to have a few questions for you."

"Mage, please tell me, I'll just wait to stand and wait for the two mages." Several businessmen said one after another.

"You don't have to wait, just sit down and answer me a few questions, otherwise I won't be bothered." Ye Zan had to increase his tone a bit.

I heard Ye Zan said so, for fear of angering Ye Zan's businessmen, they sat down with some chairs on their butts, but they all faced Ye Zan, waiting for Ye Zan's order at any time. .

Seeing a few people like this, Ye Zan also knew that this situation could not be changed in a few words, and he could only turn a blind eye, and asked one of the businessmen: "Several people think that nowadays they use this dragon truck to transport goods. How is it different than before? "

The businessman asked, as if he had a spring loaded on his bottom, suddenly stood up, half-bow and said, "Return to Master, this ... Dragon car is indeed more convenient than before. I used to wait before To transport goods to a distance, we need to hire a large number of carriages. It costs a lot, and the road goes slowly. Some goods with a short shelf life, like these fruits in our south, cannot be shipped to the north for sale. But now, it used to take a few months, and now the dragon truck can reach it in a few days, and those fruits are just as fresh as they have just been picked, not to mention the popularity of northerners. "

You know, this carriage is not simply backward in speed. The key is that you have to detour when you encounter mountains and rivers. For rail transit, it is a bridge across the river when it meets the water. Basically, as long as you can go straight between the stations, you will not choose to go around the road. Therefore, the speed of transportation will be so much faster than the traditional horse fleet.

"Yes, I used to hire a team, and I was still being used by the team. Sometimes when the weather changes, the price increase is just fine. If something goes wrong, I have to pay a lot of money. The loss of the goods is normal. "Said another businessman.

The convoys hired by businessmen are often organizations such as horses and carts. In the beginning, these organizations were just a way for people at the bottom to keep warm, and they could also be more equal when negotiating with employers. However, with the development and growth of these organizations, they gradually began to change their tastes, and some even became underworld gangs.

Such as temporary price increases, accidental claims for compensation, and some small smuggled goods, etc., are nothing. If it is really hard, there is someone who is colluding with the robbers, or you have deducted the goods yourself, and it is not that rare to even kill and overdo the goods directly.

Now that it is replaced by rail transportation, naturally there are no such things. This is the industry of Yuqing Dao Palace. Which one who ate the bear heart and leopard dare to fight it?

"Yeah, the construction of this track dragon car by Dao Gong allows me to wait for thousands of miles to transport the worthless specialties in the south to the north for sale, which makes the trade between North and South extremely convenient, and it is a merit!" A businessman said with emotion.

This is another benefit of the transportation upgrade, which is that the types of goods flowing from north to south have increased significantly. The so-called local specialties often mean a lot of production, but no one buys them at all, so much that they can only rot there or feed livestock. And now, those things that are too much to sell can be transported to farther places by rail transportation, far to where there is no such thing at all, and there is naturally a vast market there.

Li Haoran listened to Ye Zan's conversation with the businessmen, and further increased his understanding of the rail transportation. He knew that this thing was not only a large cargo volume, but also quite fast. The journey takes only a few months and a few days, so the transportation of munitions supplies and disaster relief supplies will become faster than before. Especially when transporting disaster relief materials, think about the day when the disaster happened, the emperor could get the news through thousands of miles, and then send the disaster relief materials to the disaster area in a few days. This was something that I never even thought about before .

More importantly, it seems that it is only a matter of transportation, but it can drive development in many aspects, and it is not only the merchants, but also the ordinary people. For example, those special products that could only be rotten now can bring an income to the people. As the so-called "cangjie knows the etiquette truthfully, knows how to dress and eat, and knows the honor and shame", as long as the people can fill their stomachs, no one will be willing to rebel.

At this moment, a female voice rang out in the carriage, saying: "Dear guests, the train is about to leave. Please sit in your seats and don't move around for now."

"Ah, I'm so horrified, I'm so ashamed to be called like this," said several businessmen a little uncomfortably. If Ye Zan and Li Haoran were not there, they might still enjoy the title of "respected guest", but now no one dared to show a trace of pride.

Ye Zan watched with a deep smile in his heart. He didn't expect a hint of sound he was looking for, but these people had so many thoughts. Obviously, these people are not very used to it, this so-called "respect what is what" is just an ordinary admiration. In the world of science and technology, such honorifics are found in many places, and using honorifics does not mean that you are really taken seriously.

With three prompts, the train finally started slowly.

At the beginning of the station, the speed of the train was not very fast, which made Li Haoran strange and disappointed. However, when the train got out of the station, the speed gradually increased, and looking at the continuously receding scenery outside the window, Li Haoran's mouth also widened.

"Hao Ran, how do you think this speed?" Ye Zan patted Li Haoran in a funny way.

Li Haoran came back to his senses and found his own malaise. He quickly wiped his mouth and turned to Ye Zan.

Ye Zan frowned, pretending to be angry: "Okay, don't forgive me without moving, let you see this, not let you say this."

"Yes, the disciples originally thought that even if this dragon car is faster than a horse carriage, I'm afraid it's limited. I didn't expect that this dragon car could carry such an amazing speed with so many goods, saying that a thousand miles a day is insufficient Describe. What surprised the disciples even more was that at such a fast speed, the car didn't look bumpy, and it was so smooth that it couldn't even spill tea. " come out.

The next few businessmen heard Li Haoran's words and did not dare to make fun of it at all, but echoed and said, "This mage said yes, this is what surprised me the most, and I still have to say this car. The stability of the car, even if I waited for the most comfortable carriage, it would be difficult to get on the dragon carriage. "

Compared to capacity and speed, this comfort is a small thing, but it is also the most magical place in the eyes of everyone. This small world, including the Shenhua realm outside, usually uses horse-drawn carriages that do not have good shock absorption measures. In addition, the road is often not very smooth, so riding a carriage is actually quite a crime. Even the thickest of the pads cannot avoid the bumps.

"Well, the dragon car is just a random name, this car should strictly be called a rail train. I have a copy of the information here, you can take a look and ask me if you have any questions." Ye Zan said , Took out a thick piece of information and handed it directly to Li Haoran.

Ye Zan is lazy again, just like before, he directly printed the construction of this rail train system and the composition and operation of the transportation company into such a document. In this way, there is no need for him to introduce more, and let others look at the information directly. If there is anything I really ca n’t understand, I will explain it in detail.

As the "CEO" of Datang Communications, Li Haoran has participated in many things from the establishment to operation of Datang Communications, so it is not difficult to understand this information. From the construction of the rail train system, he also saw that although this rail train is good, it is indeed more difficult to build a sound than a thousand miles.

This difficulty is mainly due to the large amount of engineering. After all, the track must be laid. This track is not placed anywhere, but on a solid roadbed. The requirements for the construction of this subgrade are more demanding than the best official roads currently paved, and the amount of engineering is very huge.

In this small world, Ye Zan can also release a lot of construction machinery to lay all the tracks without any consideration. However, when he came to the realm of Shenhua, he could not be so careless, so the foundation project still needed the participation of Datang State. Fortunately, Ye Zan has already learned a lot about the entire terrain of Shenhua, including the terrain of the Great Tang Dynasty, through the base station of thousands of miles. Therefore, pre-surveying and other work are eliminated, which saves a lot of things.

To be honest, for Datang, a country with extremely poor productivity, all the basic engineering of rail trains is already equivalent to the construction of the Great Wall in the ancient times of the ancient China, or several times the amount of excavation of the Grand Canal. Therefore, Ye Zan also thought of a way to adopt the method of integrating track and base and assembling in sections to reduce as much as possible the amount of projects that Datang was responsible for.

This method of Ye Zan is actually like playing with small train building blocks, producing the track and the road base together, and then assembling them in the Tang Dynasty. In other words, the Tang Dynasty does not need to build a road foundation, and only needs to tamp the ground under the road foundation, which is actually equivalent to building official roads.

Of course, even so, the amount of engineering is still huge, let alone let rail transportation spread all over the country. Even if only a few trunk lines are built, it may take several years.

Li Haoran glanced at the information, and couldn't help but be glad that he was sitting on the rail train and knew the benefits of the rail train. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to make up his mind to do this just by looking at the construction costs. After all, for a country, such a huge investment, if you really do n’t know what the result is, it is like a gamble, and if you lose, you are not far from losing.

However, now that Li Haoran has seen the results, seeing what kind of benefits this train will bring to Datang, then this is not a big gamble, but just a steady investment that is not lost.

"I know that no matter how much the project volume is reduced, it is still a bit huge for you. However, you don't have to worry too much about engineering matters. Zongmen will also help you a little bit." Ye Zan said next to .

"How dare you bother with this case! Uncle Shi, rest assured, I will persuade my father and emperor." Li Haoran quickly said to Ye Zan.

"Well, I think your father is also a Mingjun who wants to make a difference. Otherwise, he wouldn't have promised the milestone so happily, and there should be no problem with it." Ye Zan nodded.

However, Ye Zan and Li Haoran said that it was not a fiction to let Yu Qingzong help in the project. In fact, this rail transportation is not only related to the people's livelihood of Datang, but also to his merit acquisition. Rail transit can be completed and put into operation as early as a day, and it can be promoted in Shenhua Realm as soon as possible. He can also get merit as early as possible.

Therefore, Ye Zan intends this time to bring out Cheng Liangqi and other people in the small world of the Imperial Palace, who are experienced in rail transit construction, to help the Tang Dynasty to do this together. You know, for those monks, many things are much easier to do than mortals. For example, ramming and leveling the ground, Cheng Liangqi and other ancestors of the babies directly smashed the panlong gold seal, which is far simpler than mortals. For another example, opening tunnels and erection of bridges are arduous and dangerous for mortals, but the practitioner may complete a few spells.

In fact, the spiritual civilization of this world is not inferior to the civilization of science and technology. However, the monks rarely apply what they have learned to the needs of the mundane mortals, which has made the productivity of the mundane mortals so backward. If in the world of science and technology, those scientists are like monks, any technological invention is only for themselves, not for ordinary people. Compared with the world of science and technology, I am afraid there will be no difference.
