Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

Chapter 1340 The most important weapon of the country!

Xiahou Dun watched the miners loading ore into the carriage of the steam train. This was the first time Xiahou Dun saw a complete steam train.

He had only seen the front of a steam train in the R\u0026D center for the first time, and thought that a steam train could only seat a few people in the cab.

After seeing the complete steam train with ten carriages and a length of about one hundred meters, Xiahou Dun truly understood Bai Feng's purpose of creating the steam train.

"Hanzhong, this carriage can hold at least 10,000 kilograms of ore, right?"

Xiahoudun asked Bai Feng, pointing to the carriage where the miners were loading ore.

"Yes, one carriage can hold 15,000 kilograms of ore, and ten carriages combined can hold a total of 150,000 kilograms of ore!"

Bai Feng replied to Xiahou Dun.

After hearing the figure of 150,000 kilograms from Bai Feng, Xiahou Dun was shocked again.

It turns out that this steam train can transport so much ore at one time!

After the shock, Xiahou Dun's mind had replaced the ore with food and soldiers.

What is the concept of 150,000 kilograms of grain?

Based on the calculation that a soldier needs three kilograms of grain a day, 150,000 kilograms of grain can support an army of 1,000 men in continuous fighting for two months.

Support an army of 10,000 people to fight continuously for a week!

"The transportation capacity of this steam train is really too powerful!"

Xiahou Dun knew that as long as there were rails and an uninterrupted supply of coal and clean water, steam trains could move forward day and night.

That’s why I was so shocked by the transportation capabilities of steam trains.

The ability of these thousand civilians to transport food is comparable to that of a steam train, and the civilians consume a lot of food on the way to transport food.

"It's perfect to use steam trains to transport food!"

Xiahou Dun, who had experienced hundreds of battles, then thought of using steam trains to transport grain and grass.

It can transport various bulk goods in peacetime, and can transport grain, grass and soldiers in wartime. This steam train can be said to be an important weapon of the country!

At this time, Xiahou Dun finally understood the importance of Cao Cao asking him to come to Hanzhong to learn more about the steam train.

Xiahou Dun, who finally recovered from his shock and thoughts, couldn't help but said to Bai Feng:

"Hanzhong, this steam train is really useful. It would be great if the coal mines in Yizhou could also have such a steam train!"

Xiahou Dun knew that Bai Feng had a relatively large demand for coal, and he once again considered buying a steam train from Bai Feng.

So Xiahou Dun is now hinting at Bai Feng.

Bai Feng naturally heard the hint in Xiahou Dun's words.

However, he had no intention of selling it to Xiahoudun Steam Train from the beginning.

Now that Hanzhong's own steam trains are not enough, how can it sell steam trains to Yizhou?

So Bai Feng smiled at Xiahou Dun and said:

"What General Xiahou said is true."

"It's a pity that I only have one steam train here, and it took me two years to build just this one."

"The manufacturing of steam trains is really too complicated!"

After Bai Feng finished speaking, Xiahoudun's idea of ​​buying a steam train was immediately suppressed.

From Bai Feng's words, Xiahou Dun knew very well that the possibility of buying a steam train from Bai Feng now was really low.

The first time I saw a steam train, I could think of its role in the war.

This is a real important weapon of the country!

As the inventor of the steam train, how could Bai Feng not think of it?

Before, Xiahou Dun had always been doubtful about Bai Feng's lack of pursuit of fame and fortune, but now it seems that Bai Feng already has greater ambitions in his heart!

In Xiahou Dun's view, if you master the steam train, you have the capital to compete with a country.

Bai Feng has been keeping such a low profile in Hanzhong these past few years, and has been quietly making a fortune.

At this time Xiahou Dun also understood Cao Cao's worries.

To put it bluntly, Xiahou Dun was afraid of Bai Feng even after he took Cao Cao's place.

What else could a man who could invent and build a steam train do that he wanted to do but couldn't?

"What Hanzhong Hou said is absolutely true!"

Xiahou Dun, who had many thoughts flashing through his mind in an instant, said to Bai Feng after hearing this.

"It's just a pity that the mines in Yizhou no longer need steam trains."

Then Xiahou Dun said in despair.

This loss was not intentional on Xiahou Dun's part, but his true thoughts.

Bai Feng couldn't help but smile to Xiahou Dun when he heard this:

"General Xiahou, let's take the steam train down the mountain together!"

While they were talking about the steam train, the miners were nearly filling the cars with ore.

Xiahou Dun happily agreed upon hearing this.

Soon Bai Feng and Xiahou Dun came to the cab of the steam train together.

The person in charge of driving the steam train now is a student transferred from the R\u0026D center.

As the world's first steam train driver, when this student saw Xiahou Dun, he saluted and said hello to Xiahou Dun in a neither humble nor condescending manner. The confidence on his face could not be concealed no matter what.

There is no way, I am the only one in the world who can drive a steam train, which is like having only one emperor in the world!

Xiahou Dun, who was riding a steam train for the first time, watched the driver's various operations with great curiosity after the steam train started.

It's a pity that I can't understand it at all.

As the steam train gradually increased speed, Xiahou Dun's attention also shifted to the mine outside the window.

“I didn’t arrive first and this steam train could run so fast!”

Seeing the mine gradually becoming blurry in his sight, Xiahou Dun said to Bai Feng in surprise.

Bai Feng heard this and smiled at Xiahou Dun:

"If the supply of coal and clean water can be guaranteed, this steam train can reach thousands of miles in one day and one night!"

"One day and one night, thousands of miles away?!"

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Dun was immediately shocked again by Bai Feng's words.

It seems that Chollima can do something, so there is no need to make a fuss.

But if this thousand-mile horse carries 150,000 kilograms of grain, can it still gallop thousands of miles in a day and night?

If this thousand-mile horse carries thousands of soldiers, can it still gallop thousands of miles in a day and a night?

The steam train shocked Xiahou Dun one after another.

So much so that now Xiahou Dun has forgotten the explosive that just made him think it was an earth dragon.

"Hahaha, that's true, but the prerequisite is that there must be railroad tracks, and there must be places to replenish water and coal along the way."

Bai Feng looked at Xiahou Dun who looked shocked again and said with a smile.
