Chapter 1283 Preparing for Test Run

"Hahaha, Zhen Cheng will remember you for a great achievement this time!"

In the nitroglycerin/oil explosives manufacturing workshop, Bai Feng smiled at Zhen Cheng.

Since learning the results of the new experiment, Bai Feng's mood has finally improved.

He is not afraid of problems, but he is most afraid of not having a way to solve the problem, and not being able to figure out the cause of the problem.

After receiving Bai Feng's praise, Zhen Cheng smiled again.

Now all the alchemists in the nitroglycerin/oil explosives manufacturing workshop have a new look at the young Zhen Cheng.

This is not only because Zhen Cheng's alchemy level is not inferior to theirs, but also because Zhen Cheng discovered the situation that they all ignored and gave everyone a new idea to solve the problem.

Wei Boyang was also very proud at this time.

Zhen Cheng is his disciple, and as a master, he is naturally very proud of the achievements made by his disciple.

After solving this problem, the next experiment went smoothly.

The preparation of sulfuric acid and nitric acid has made great progress with the joint efforts of Wei Boyang and other alchemists.

Bai Feng was also very satisfied with the progress of the nitroglycerin/oil explosives manufacturing workshop, and once again reminded them to pay attention to safety.

"Mr. Wei, if there is really an experiment with unpredictable results, let me operate it."

"I can use Taoism to avoid some explosions, and the evacuation speed is also faster, so don't worry about my safety."

Bai Feng had mentioned to Zhang Daoyi and Fang Yuan before that he could personally operate dangerous experiments.

It was just that the manufacturing of nitroglycerin/oil explosives had just begun at that time, and Fang Yuan and Zhang Daoyi did not encounter any unpredictable dangerous situations.

And in their opinion, Bai Feng's safety is very important, so neither of them chose to trouble Bai Feng, but was more cautious during the experiment.

After the explosion, everyone saw the real danger, so after Bai Feng finished talking to Wei Boyang, Wei Boyang immediately nodded and agreed:

"Thank you, Hanzhong Hou, I remember it."

Wei Boyang really saw the magical scene of Bai Feng's Taoism, and naturally believed that ordinary explosions could not hurt Bai Feng.

Bai Feng nodded after hearing this, and after leaving the nitroglycerin/oil explosives manufacturing workshop, he went to the R&D center again.

In the workshop of the R&D center, Geng Zhuzi, Li Tiedan and other craftsmen were conducting the final test on the locomotive of the steam train.

After Bai Feng arrived, he asked Geng Zhuzi:

"Tomorrow we will test the performance of the steam train on the rails. Have you found any problems now?"

Geng Zhuzi continued to check the locomotive of the steam train while answering Bai Feng:

"So far, no problems have been found. We need to wait until the test run before we can find new problems."

Bai Feng nodded in approval after hearing this.

After three months, the locomotive of the steam train was finally manufactured.

The nitroglycerin/oil explosives manufacturing workshop has also entered the research and development stage at this time.

Bai Feng's railway plan can be said to have been completed by half.

And it took about one-third less time than expected.

"Very good, after the steam train test run is completed, you and everyone will have three days off, take a good rest, and then solve the problems of the steam train."

Then Bai Feng said to Geng Zhuzi.

Because of the uninterrupted manufacturing and experiments, Geng Zhuzi, Li Tiedan, Wang Gang, Xu Dali and other core craftsmen of the R&D center have become visibly thinner.

This is because of rest and diet.

The meals provided by Bai Feng have meat and vegetables, and the combination of meat and vegetables is nutritious.

However, Geng Zhuzi and others are so focused on the manufacture of steam locomotives that they often forget to eat. Before going to bed, they are also thinking about how to solve the various problems encountered when making steam locomotives.

It is precisely at the cost of damaging their health that they can rely on the strength of these six people to manufacture the front of the steam locomotive in such a short time.

"Thank you for the concern of Hanzhong Hou, I know."

Geng Zhuzi thanked Bai Feng after hearing this, but Bai Feng obviously saw that Geng Zhuzi and others did not take Bai Feng's advice to heart.

Why do you need to rest when making steam locomotives? It's not tiring at all!

Bai Feng couldn't help shaking his head when seeing this.

As long as the test run of the steam locomotive is successful, Bai Feng must make Geng Zhuzi and others have a good rest.

Anyway, it will take a lot of time to build the railway, so the time for the transformation of the steam locomotive is sufficient for Geng Zhuzi and his team.

If Geng Zhuzi and Li Tiedan, the core craftsmen, are exhausted because of long-term work, it will be a loss.

Then Bai Feng came to the steam engine production line factory.

The entire steam engine production line can now produce three steam engines a day.

And it has become more economical with raw materials.

The craftsmen brought back from Yizhou are already familiar with the work on the steam engine production line.

During the time of manufacturing steam locomotives, Geng Zhuzi did not ignore the steam engine production line.

There are now two people in charge of the steam engine production line, both of whom were appointed by Geng Zhuzi based on their abilities and character after careful investigation.

One is the first batch of craftsmen in the R&D center, named Xu Shi.

The other is a craftsman in Yizhou, named Wei Chun.

After seeing Bai Feng, Xu Shi and Wei Chun came forward to greet him.

"The steam engine production line will be expanded again next year."

Bai Feng said to Xu Shi and Wei Chun after learning about the current situation of the steam engine production line from them.

About 40% of the steam engines produced by the steam engine production line are now sold to Yizhou.

Of the remaining 60%, 20% are kept by Bai Feng for his own use.

The other 40% are sold to the gentry in Hanzhong.

Steam loom workshops in Yizhou and Hanzhong have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

The cloth produced has been sold as far as Youzhou and the trade with the Xianbei people.

Xu Shi and Wei Chun were also very happy when they learned that another steam engine production line would be built next year.

This represents Bai Feng's affirmation of their work results.

"Please rest assured, Hanzhong Hou, the new production line will not have any problems!"

Xu Shi, who is already familiar with every link of the entire steam engine production line, said to Bai Feng.

Wei Chun also nodded on the side.

"Well, I believe in your abilities, just be prepared first."

After Bai Feng finished speaking to the two, he returned to the mansion, waiting for the first test run of the steam train tomorrow.

That night, Cao Jie heard Bai Feng say that the steam train would be tested tomorrow, so he wanted to go with Bai Feng to watch it.

"My husband, I have long wanted to experience what it feels like to ride a steam train."

Before going to bed, Cao Jie said to Bai Feng with anticipation.
