Chapter 1286 Preparations for Building a Railway

Then Bai Feng told Cao Jie in detail what the emergence of steam locomotives meant to the entire Wei Dynasty from aspects other than military affairs, such as people's livelihood and business.

After listening to it, Cao Jie felt that this steam locomotive was really as powerful as thousands of troops.

While feeling happy for Bai Feng, Cao Jie couldn't help but feel a little worried.

If her husband Bai Feng wanted this world, who could stop him in the future?

Of course, Cao Jie's worry would be buried in her heart until that day came.

"Okay, let's sleep."

After telling Cao Jie about the significance of the emergence of steam locomotives to the Wei Dynasty, Bai Feng felt a little tired. He had used spiritual power to regulate his body for Geng Zhuzi and others before, which consumed a lot of Bai Feng's energy.

"Yeah."

After Cao Jie extinguished the candle, he found the most comfortable position in Bai Feng's arms and prepared to sleep.

As for the worries, let's talk about it later.

Three days later, Bai Feng sent a team of soldiers to send Geng Zhuzi and other craftsmen back to the R&D center.

He felt that if Geng Zhuzi and others were allowed to rest any longer, they would probably start discussing the improvement of the steam locomotive in the mansion.

After three days of rest, Geng Zhuzi and others not only recovered a lot of spirits, but also began to recover their weight after eating, drinking and resting well these days.

After returning to the R&D center, Geng Zhuzi and others once again began to devote themselves to the improvement of the steam locomotive.

They will always remember the scene of Bai Feng personally conditioning their bodies.

For them, this can increase their enthusiasm for work more than rewarding gold and silver.

The team of soldiers sent to send Geng Zhuzi and others back to the R&D center will also set up a camp next to the R&D center in the future.

Bai Feng will not and cannot tolerate anyone or any force to influence or destroy the improvement of the steam locomotive.

With the steam locomotive in hand, even if he loses the system, loses his spiritual power and illusion, and becomes a completely ordinary person, Bai Feng's status and strength in the Wei Dynasty cannot be shaken!

Even Cao Cao!

This is the industrialization behind the steam locomotive, which gives Bai Feng the confidence!

Then Bai Feng brought the treasure ship construction drawings that he had drawn in the system lottery to Yamatai.

In the Yamatai Palace.

Himiko, Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie were discussing matters together.

When the three saw Bai Feng appear, they immediately went forward to greet him in surprise.

Bai Feng smiled and waved to the three people, indicating that they didn't need to do so.

"This is the manufacturing drawing of the treasure ship."

Then Bai Feng handed the manufacturing drawing of the treasure ship to Himiko.

After Himiko took the wooden box handed by Bai Feng, she asked Bai Feng with some curiosity:

"Treasure ship? This is the first time I have heard of this kind of ship."

Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie on the side also looked at the wooden box in Himiko's hand with some curiosity.

Then Bai Feng began to explain the performance of the treasure ship to the three people.

"This treasure ship can be built so big!"

After listening to Bai Feng's explanation, Li Cunxiao exclaimed immediately.

Especially after knowing that a treasure ship can carry 500 soldiers.

You should know that the fleet led by the Wei navy commander Wen Pin before, the largest ship could only carry 200 soldiers.

This treasure ship has double the number and 100 more people!

Meng Jie was also shocked.

Himiko was shocked and asked Bai Feng:

"Sir, this treasure ship is so big, it must be very difficult to build it?"

"I'm afraid the existing wood in Yamatai is not enough to build a treasure ship."

These days, Himiko has been arranging people to cut wood for shipbuilding, and has learned some basics about shipbuilding.

She also learned some difficulties in building warships from the Wei navy commander Wen Pin.

Bai Feng nodded and said:

"With the existing tree species in Yamatai, there is really no wood suitable for building the keel of the treasure ship."

"But it doesn't matter. I will buy wood for you from the Great Wei."

"Now what you have to do is to study this treasure ship blueprint thoroughly, and then try to build a ship by imitating the treasure ship, and train a group of craftsmen who can master shipbuilding technology."

After explaining to Himiko how to use the treasure ship blueprint, Bai Feng remembered the Great Wei Navy Fleet that came to Yamatai before.

"By the way, when did the Great Wei Navy Fleet leave?"

"And did Wen Pin agree to buy iron ore from you?"

In order to solve the problem of iron ore, Bai Feng did not let Himiko detain this Great Wei Fleet, but let Himiko do business with this Great Wei Fleet instead.

After hearing this, Himiko replied to Bai Feng:

"It has been a week since the Wei navy left, but General Wen Pin did not immediately agree to trade ore with us."

"He said that he would ask the emperor for instructions and give me an accurate answer next time he comes to Yamatai."

Bai Feng frowned when he heard this.

It is normal that Wen Pin, a navy general, cannot make the decision to trade with Yamatai for such an important resource as ore.

Then Bai Feng said to Himiko:

"When Wen Pin's fleet comes to Yamatai next time, you can offer him double the price to buy ore. You don't need to worry about the silver."

With a steam engine production line and a soap workshop in hand, Bai Feng can be said to be rich and powerful.

"Okay, I understand."

Himiko nodded when she heard this.

Bai Feng is still waiting for the results of the nitroglycerin/oil explosives manufacturing workshop before he can vigorously mine iron ore in Hanzhong.

Before that, there must be other channels to obtain iron ore for the construction of railways.

If there is only a steam locomotive but no railway, the steam locomotive is just a large toy.

Only a well-connected railway can make the steam locomotive play its due role.

After explaining the purchase of iron ore, Bai Feng asked Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie again how the army of Yamatai was trained.

Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie asked Bai Feng to go directly to the military camp for inspection.

After the three arrived at the military camp, Bai Feng saw the soldiers who were training, full of energy and high morale, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good!"

"We can't relax in training. After the first batch of ships are built, we have to lead them to familiarize themselves with naval warfare."

"I will help you collect books on how to lead the navy and naval warfare in Wei."

"The future development opportunity of Yamatai lies in these four seas!"

After Bai Feng finished speaking, Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie both nodded excitedly.
