At the head of these carriages was a huge horse, its whole body was red, as if it were condensed by flames, and from time to time it rose from its nostrils and made a whimpering sound.
numerous passengers dragged their luggage up and down from these carriages.
even these strange carriages were not just one, but there were more than a dozen standing side by side at the same time, which looked incredibly amazing and completely shocked zhao feng and others.
"is this, is this the carriage?"
zhao feng and the others were confused, when they had ever seen such a means of transportation, it was simply unheard of.
"yes, this is our special transportation in the tang dynasty, a carriage."
the old master proudly said: "don't look at it like an ordinary look, but the speed can reach six hundred kilometers per hour, and if it is full speed, it can even reach a thousand kilometers, but most of the time it is six hundred kilometers per hour."
heihe city reached the capital chang'an for a full 20,000 kilometers, but if you do not run day and night, it is estimated that it will take a day and a half to arrive. "
what the?!
as soon as these words came out, the third prince zhao feng and others were even more shocked, and they simply couldn't believe what their ears heard, the distance of 20,000 kilometers actually only took a day and a half to arrive, which was also too exaggerated.
it was so exaggerated that they couldn't believe the old man's words, and even thought that the other party was bragging.
but his 790s saw the boss with a serious look, and they knew that the other party was not lying.
"just kidding, with such a fast speed, if it's transporting soldiers, doesn't it mean that in a day and a half, you can get from the capital to the most borderline city?" even if there is any unrest in the border cities, a large number of reinforcements will arrive quickly and be suppressed in an instant. "
the military use of these railways was seen.
to know why a huge empire is so difficult to rule, it is because the territory is too vast, so that the troops are scattered, so that if there is a rebellion in a certain place, it is difficult for the central army to appear and rescue in time.
without the railway, i am afraid it would have taken at least a few months, or even a year, to arrive.
after all, the army is also a human being, and it also needs to rest.
moreover, the travel of the army also needs to carry a variety of logistics, which naturally drags down the speed of the march.
but now the appearance of the carriage, the emergence of the railway, has changed everything, all the soldiers, the logistics are all carried to the carriage, a day and a half can be directly pulled to another place, and the soldiers will not be tired.
there is no doubt that this is definitely an epoch-making mode of transportation.
if they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that there was such a means of transportation in the world.
