It was calm.
For a whole week, Xun Shifei had no clue to assassinate Du Taiping.
Du Taiping was in fear for a week. During this time, he slept with a blind eye every day, fearing that Xun Shifei would kill him. Security has been tightened a lot.
Li Zhen was also on tenterhooks for a week, fearing when the telegram would ring and tell him the news of Du Taiping's sudden death.
During this period, Li Zhen wanted to go over and send a report to Xun Shifei, whether it was a warning or advice. But in the end, he didn't do it, because Li Zhen suddenly felt that this matter could only be protected secretly and could not be brought to the table anyway.
No matter what happened, even if you knew it, you had to pretend you didn't know anything.
Distraught.
Since this time, even the quarrels have become quiet. After the day of the meeting, Xun Shifei no longer even argued with Du Taiping, and seemed to have stopped fighting again.
But everyone in the know knows that this is just the calm under the storm.
Li Zhen and others were also speculating on how Xun Shifei would kill Du Taiping if he wanted to.
After thinking about it, Li Zhen couldn't figure it out.
A dead soldier
Just kidding, if the emperor of a country could be easily killed by a dead soldier, the world would have been in chaos.
Du Taiping is like a turtle, with an extremely thick shell that protects him. Even if the top assassins in the world formed a group, they would not be able to succeed so easily.
Quancheng County can be said to be the place with the strongest security forces in the world. There are forbidden troops, special forces, and various New Kyushu's most advanced troops stationed there.
The Quancheng County Government is a 360-degree fortress with no blind spots.
There is only one way to kill Du Taiping, and that is for insiders to approach, kill Du Taiping and then commit suicide immediately.
There is no other way.
But it was impossible for Xun Shifei to use this method. Again, no one is a fool. A person who can get close to Du Taiping must be someone who has a close relationship with the top government officials. And you don’t need to think about it to know what level such a person is.
If Xun Shifei wanted to kill him at all costs, it would be easy for him to succeed. But the consequence of this is that if he catches up with himself, any slight flaw will be magnified, and public opinion cannot be underestimated. All the secrets can only be known to everyone, but no one must tell them. Once it is spoken out and public opinion is formed, Xun Shifei will not be able to rise to that position.
So it was difficult for Li Zhen to think of what to do.
A week later. News came that the train was ready.
Li Zhen put down his worries and went to Dafengtai Station with everyone to test the train again.
Many people also gathered in Laoshan County, and everyone heard the news that the complete version of the train tested last time had appeared.
They are all a little curious, what kind of complete and incomplete version is there for this car
Not long after, large steam vehicles arrived one after another.
'Woooooo'
Following the roar, the people all looked around:
"So many?"
"Last time it was just one car. Why are there so many steam cars here today?"
"Are there many trains?"
"No matter how many trains there are, it only has one track. It's not of much use."
"I just know that this guy eats coal too quickly. It's not cost-effective at all. It's too expensive."
"Huh? It doesn't seem right."
"I saw the canvas at the back was lifted, revealing a section of the inside. It didn't look like the train I'd seen before, it only had four wheels."
“…”
"Dean Li, the locomotive and the nineteen carriages have all been delivered. Please check and accept?"
Li Zhen looked at the person in front of him and nodded: "Han Xian, go and check the following. By the way, the upper rail should be put on the rail, and the assembly should be assembled. You always have to try."
"Yes, Master Li!"
Immediately, Fang Hanxian and others led the team to lift the canvas and inspected them one by one.
As soon as the canvas was lifted, the people were completely shocked:
"Wow, is this a train?"
"Why didn't I think of that? I'm so stupid. This is right and worthy of building a road specifically for it."
"It turns out to be a powered locomotive, with more than a dozen carriages specially designed for people and cargo to be hung behind it. This is only right.,":
"Those other carriages only have wheels, but no power system. I saw that two or three of them are larger than the steam carriages, but among them are cargo boxes, which can pull at least ten or twenty tons. goods."
"There are also many carriages for people. They have glass windows and decorations inside. They look so luxurious."
"Is this a handlebar that only rich people can ride on?"
"It seems to me that if this car is driven once, it can pull thousands of people, right?"
"Hiss—a passenger bus with thousands of people? This basically solves the traffic problem, right?"
"The airport was originally expected to open in the first two days, but it will be delayed for another two days. Anyway, the airport can be opened within this week. By then, our transportation will be too developed."
"Although the transportation is developed, it is only for the rich. Who can afford to fly? I heard that the Dafengtai Civil Airport has started to pre-sell air tickets. I will scare you to death if I tell you. A plane ticket from Laoshan to Quancheng County costs three thousand gold coupons."
"Oh my god, three thousand gold coupons? Three thousand gold coupons are enough for my family for a quarter."
"Who can afford this? A plane ticket with three thousand gold coupons? Give me three thousand gold coupons, and I would rather walk from Laoshan to Quancheng County."
"Don't underestimate the rich. I heard that although the price is high, the tickets have been sold out and you can't even buy them if you want. If the air tickets are so expensive, the price of this train will probably not be much different in the future."
“…”
While everyone was talking, a crane began to move the locomotive and carriages onto the track.
The workers shouted slogans, "One, two, three, hey," and all the carriages got on the track.
Including the front end of the car, there are twenty pieces in total.
Some people divide train carriages into high-class seats, middle-class seats, and ordinary seats.
This is a way to make money.
Li Zhen led a group of people into the high-class seats with his hands behind his back. As soon as he entered, he was stunned by the luxury. I admire the designers of the carriages for creating a feeling of large space in a limited space.
The high-class carriages are in the first three cars. In the first three carriages, there are thirty small rooms in the first carriage. Each small room is equipped with a dressing table, wardrobe and clothes drying rack. There are two bunk beds in a room, both with four beds. It looks crowded, but once you lie down on it, your whole body can actually stretch out. It’s about the same size as a single bed in a hotel.
Li Zhen sat on the bed and felt it for a moment: "Who designed this? Not bad. With four beds in a room, a high-class seat can carry 120 passengers. This is a very user-friendly design, but you must remember First of all, safety issues are very important. I don’t want that kind of mixed-gender scene. Men don’t care, but it has a great impact on women’s reputation.”
