Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 489: : The brakes are a problem

"Boom—boom——"

The speed began to pick up.

"Boom-boom-boom"

The operator shouted: "Fire up."

"Okay"

The two men shouted, shoveled the cinders with their shovels and began to add them to the stove.

The white smoke became thicker and thicker.

'Boom Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi'

The speed at which the crank connecting rod stretches suddenly increases. The wheel speed also started to increase.

Now it has accelerated to 15 kilometers per hour, which is considered a complete start.

And when the locomotive broke through the speed of 20 kilometers per hour, the locomotive suddenly exploded with more surging power, and the speed suddenly increased sharply.

Thirty kilometers.

Forty kilometers.

Fifty kilometers.

When traveling about ten kilometers forward, the speed of the train has increased to sixty kilometers per hour.

The car always follows closely on both sides.

Li Chen sat in the car and looked out the window, and said, "Just ask. Can you continue to speed up?"

Immediately, someone poked his head out of the car window and shouted at the locomotive: "Mr. Li asked, can it go faster?"

The operator shouted back: "It's so fast. You can only keep adding fire, but there is a process of burning."

When the people along the way saw this scene, they felt a little incomprehensible.

"Is it that fast?"

"A road was built specifically for it, but it turned out not to be as fast as a steam car?"

"This is only 60 hours, right? It's a bit slow."

"It's too slow. I thought a road would be built just for it. Anyway, the speed can be about the same as that of an airplane."

"Oh, what a waste. This guy eats so much coal, is this speed?"

"What's the use of that. It's better to drive a car."

"I heard that in order to repair the railway tracks, bridges were built in the mountains and forests. They almost opened tunnels. It turned out to be this speed."

“…”

Everyone is really puzzled. They don't understand why a road has to be built for such a low speed.

In fact, the speed of 60 kilometers per hour is not low, strictly speaking, it is still very fast. It's just that they don't know that the train will drag dozens of carriages by then.

After traveling a distance of more than 20 kilometers, the speed of the train reached 80 kilometers per hour. Li Zhen murmured: "It's not as fast as I imagined. :"

"Yes, the ideal train, even if it tows 20 carriages, should be able to reach at least 70 kilometers per hour. But this is just a locomotive, and it has been driven for dozens of miles, and the speed is not enough. It's only broken through eighty. It's different from what I imagined."

When Ma Jianbin answered, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

But they don't know, this is already a miracle. This has broken through too many technologies.

Ten thousand years ago, when the first train was built, it was about as fast as a snail. Even decades after the train technology has matured, the common train speed is fifty or sixty kilometers per hour.

The one that really made the train speed exceed 100 kilometers per hour was after the 2000 AD.

Under the conditions of New Kyushu, the speed of the first locomotive quickly exceeded 80 kilometers, which is already a miracle. It can only be confirmed from the side that the development speed of steam power in New Kyushu far exceeds the level of 10,000 years ago.

Who made Li Zhen stand on the shoulders of giants to see the world?

‘咕嗤咔咒咒嗤;’

The sound is huge.

Li Zhen was so shocked that his ears couldn't take it anymore, and he said to Ma Jianbin in the car: "Go back and make a suggestion, see if the power of this locomotive can continue to be increased? By the way, when designing the carriage, The first section is the locomotive, and the second section seems to be a special compartment for water. Judging from this situation, the steam car boils water very quickly. Only by constantly adding water to the power pack can it maintain power .”

Ma Jianbin nodded and wrote it down.

Li Zhen said again: "There is no need to go to the front. There is only a railway in front, and the car road is too barren. The train can run 80 on the rails, but the car can't follow it in the wilderness. It is very dangerous. Back Let's go."

"Yes."

Immediately the lead car started to slow down and turned back. The convoy also started turning back.

The train continues to move forward. It will not stop until it reaches Licang County Station.

And there are many stations along the way, and there are special personnel to register data and record all the information of the train passing along the way.

Not long after Li Zhen and the others turned back to Dafengtai Station, the locomotive had already arrived in Licang County. The total length is only tens of kilometers, so it won't take long.

As soon as he entered Licang County, the operator saw someone waving a red flag beside the track, which was a signal to slow down and stop.

The operator pulled the switch on the spot and cut off the steam energy.

'Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo——'

As soon as the power transmission was disconnected, the steam rolled out of the chimney immediately. There was a howling sound resounding all over the world.

Extremely harsh.

But the train is still sliding forward, the front of the train is too heavy, and under a certain speed, the inertial energy is very large.

There are mileage signs installed in advance on both sides of the rails, and there is a sign every 100 meters.

The moment the operator closed the gate, he immediately began to calculate the train's sliding speed in inertia. This is also a data that must be recorded.

After the brakes were cut, the train sped forward for a distance of two kilometers before the speed decreased from eighty to sixty. Can't help but make people startled: "It's no wonder that special steel rails are used. The train slides on the steel rails, and the resistance is really much smaller than that on the road. After sliding for two kilometers, the speed is only reduced by 20 per hour. So let's say that If you come, it is actually not impossible to tow twenty carriages."

The rails are smooth. Really smooth. It even gives people a feeling that it will move forward as soon as you push it.

This is the extremely low resistance that occurs when the steel wheel is on the steel rail and the two meet.

The operator vaguely saw the anti-collision wooden beam five kilometers ahead. It was the place where the track was repaired, and it had to stop there. So a lot of tough wooden beams were used to cross the rails.

The operator took a look and quickly started to pull the brakes.

The brakes were pulled down hard, and in an instant, there was a teeth-stinging friction sound on the rails.

'Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow'

On the railway tracks, sparks were everywhere, and sparks were constantly splashing out.

The observers on both sides of the road raised their brows and hurriedly recorded this phenomenon.

But to some horror, the brakes don't do much. The resistance between the rail and the steel wheel is extremely small, and at the same time, the frictional force is also extremely small.

The operator is a little scared. Keep looking down at the speedometer, and keep looking up at the distance ahead.

The observers on both sides were in a hurry and kept yelling: "Brake! Brake!"

The operator is also in a hurry: "I'm on the brakes!"

Not working.

How can a train want to brake as easily as a car?

No one thought ~IndoMTL.com~ When the train brakes, the stuck wheels seem to have little effect... and the damage to the wheels is also extremely high.

When it was 500 meters away from the anti-collision wooden beam, the speed of the locomotive was still 38 miles per hour.

The operator was in a hurry, stomped his feet in a hurry, and turned around and shouted: "I say jump later, so you jump."

The two workers who added coal were also scared. What's going on? The brakes are too bad.

At two hundred meters. The speed dropped to thirty miles per hour.

The operator knew that there was a collision, so he shouted: "Jump!"

Without any hesitation, the two shirtless men jumped down one from the left and the other from the right. After landing, they quickly rolled a few times on the spot, with wounds all over their bodies cut by gravel, dripping with blood.

But they didn't care so much, everyone looked in horror at the front of the car that was still rushing forward. After a while, the operator jumped down holding a large pile of documents, and was also covered in blood.

A moment later.

There was a 'bang'.

Sawdust was flying, and everyone was dodging quickly, exclaiming.

However, a dozen or so thick wooden beams bundled together in front of his head were all broken and flying all over the sky.

Finally, when it encountered the last layer of waist-thick wooden beams, the train barely stopped. Stopping there, it kept making the sound of "woo woo woo" and emitted billowing steam.

All the technicians in Licang County were stunned and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"The brakes are a problem..."
