Chapter 280

It is impossible to run forever without stopping.

But this version of the steam engine……

As long as there is sufficient fuel and sufficient water, it can continuously generate power!

Subsequently.

After this experiment, the power research group of the Great Yan Research Institute……

Began the research of a new topic again.

How to apply the steam engine to a carriage!

……

64th Year of the Great Yan Calendar.

After several months of research and development.

The world's first steam carriage appeared.

It used a steam engine as the power source, and a power room was set up at the rear of the carriage.

A dedicated person was responsible for boiling water.

And through the steam engine power transmission, it made the four wheels move forward rapidly!

The fastest speed……

Even reached 20 kilometers per hour!

The first steam carriage was also used as Yan's exclusive vehicle.

But……

Yan was not very satisfied with the speed of this steam carriage.

Normally speaking.

The slowest horse could run 60 kilometers per hour!

The speed of the steam carriage was really too slow.

Therefore……

The Great Yan Research Institute began to discuss intensely again.

Trying every means to speed up the steam carriage.

"To speed up, we must increase the rotation speed of the wheels, and in the final analysis, we still have to increase the power of the steam engine."

"In terms of power, I think we can make a composite steam engine, using multiple pots to burn together……"

"Indeed, if four pots burn synchronously, the power generated might be even more astonishing!"

"……"

Three months later.

A brand-new four-pot-driven steam engine appeared.

In terms of power.

It even directly doubled, allowing the steam carriage to speed up to 40 kilometers per hour!

However……

Yan was still not satisfied with this speed.

"The gods have said that the power of technology can fly to the sky and escape the earth, how can it not even surpass the slowest horse in the Great Yan Kingdom?!"

Yan stared coldly at the people from the Research Institute.

40 kilometers per hour, the speed was indeed much faster.

But……

It was still far from the speed the gods spoke of.

Even……

The martial artist captives existing in the Great Yan Kingdom could easily surpass the steam carriage by using light-body techniques!

Therefore.

After his order was given.

The Research Institute began research day and night again.

……

65th Year of the Great Yan Calendar.

Finally.

After a year of research.

The Great Yan Research Institute……

Proposed a brand-new plan.

"Your Majesty, after our research and perfection during this period, the fastest speed of the steam carriage can only reach 50 kilometers per hour."

"But we tried to improve the road conditions and specially built tracks for the wheels of the steam carriage……"

"If the steam carriage runs on such tracks, the speed can reach an astonishing 70 kilometers per hour!"

Immediately after.

The people from the Research Institute moved out a section of iron tracks hundreds of meters long and did an experiment for Yan on the spot.

There were two rows of iron tracks.

Placing the wheels of the steam carriage on the iron tracks could rapidly increase its speed.

It soared directly to 70 kilometers per hour!

Seeing this scene.

Yan was overjoyed.

70 kilometers, although still not comparable to the fastest horses in the Great Yan Kingdom.

But……

It was sustainable, and as long as fuel and water were sufficient, it could run forever without stopping.

This point was incomparable to a horse!

"Since the speed can be increased by building iron tracks, then……"

Yan took a deep breath.

And issued a political decree: "I will pave iron tracks all over the Great Yan Kingdom!"

This political decree of his.

Made the people from the Research Institute shocked.

The territory of the Great Yan Kingdom was very vast.

To pave iron tracks all over the Great Yan Kingdom……

There was no doubt.

This was an extremely vast project, and it was also labor-intensive and money-wasting.

Yan naturally knew this point too.

But……

He had this confidence.

The current Great Yan Kingdom……

Has the support of the people and abundant financial resources.

It could absolutely complete this magnificent feat!

Subsequently.

Yan urgently convened a court meeting.

He ordered the Ministry of Works and the Research Institute to cooperate closely and quickly formulate a roadmap for priority construction of iron tracks.

Then he began to recruit labor, refine steel, and prepare for construction.

"Didn't I capture 400,000 martial artists and 200,000 immortal cultivators before? Let them go and build the iron tracks!"

Regarding labor.

Yan waved his hand and determined the candidates.

These martial artists and immortal cultivators all had amazing physiques.

Doing work, they got twice the result with half the effort.

Using them to build iron tracks was absolutely much faster than ordinary people. ===== CHAPTER 282 =====
