Chapter 9: The Empire Soars, Kunpeng Project Completed

Imperial Railway Station.

There is a guard post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps here. The defense is very tight with layers of blockades.

At this time, many gray-haired and younger scientists gathered together in the station to discuss something.

Not far away on the tracks there is a green train.

"Quick, check the train quickly. His Majesty will be here to inspect it soon. We must make sure everything is in perfect condition, otherwise..."

At this time, a man ran in quickly, breathing rapidly, and spoke loudly with an excited look on his face.

"What?! His Majesty is coming to inspect. Hurry, check it again. Make sure everything is perfect and there must be no mistakes."

After hearing that Ye Chen was coming to inspect, Zhou Hong, the highest person in charge of the station, was surprised, and then hurriedly arranged for people to check the train quickly to ensure that everything was safe.

When the others heard the news that His Majesty was coming, they were surprised, but also extremely excited.

After all, in their hearts, Ye Chen is the only true God and the only faith.

Afterwards, everyone was busy and carefully checked every part of the train.

Outside the station.

Ye Chen slowly came here under the protection of many guards and with the army paving the way.

Wherever he passed, the people bowed their heads and saluted. Only some children in the crowd were fearless like newborn calves. They grabbed the clothes of the adults beside them with their little hands and looked at Ye Chen curiously with their ignorant eyes.

Looking at these people, Ye Chen's face was stern, his eyes were as deep as the abyss, he was wearing a slim-fitting star robe, with the Chixiao sword wrapped around his waist, and he exuded an imperial aura, looking extremely majestic. No one dared to look him in the eye.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

"Be flat."

After entering the train station, Ye Chen looked at everyone and said calmly.

Then, Ye Chen's gaze turned to the familiar green train on the tracks not far away.

When Ye Chen first decided on the appearance of the train, he thought of the green train in his memory.

"Lord Zhou, what is the current progress of the train construction? Can it be put into use?"

Taking his eyes away from the green train, Ye Chen looked at Zhou Hong beside him and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Hong quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the Xuanhuang train has been completed and has been tested dozens of times..."

Zhou Longyu did not dare to hide anything about the situation on the train and reported it in detail.

Zhou Hong's words made Ye Chen nod involuntarily. In fact, someone reported the specific situation of the Xuanhuang train every day, and he knew it clearly.

"As the empire's first train, the Xuanhuang is of great significance. We will put it into use as soon as possible."

At this point, Ye Chen looked at Zhou Hong and smiled, "My dear Zhou, how about accompanying me to ride on the first train of the empire and be the first batch of passengers on the Xuanhuang?"

"promise!"

When Zhou Hong heard Ye Chen invite him to take the train together, he immediately agreed with excitement, and even his body couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

What an honor it is to be personally invited by Ye Chen, the only true God of the empire. Even though Zhou Hong is the vice president of the Imperial Academy of Sciences and holds a high position of power, he cannot remain calm.

Seeing Zhou Hong like this, Ye Chen smiled, and then led everyone towards the Xuanhuang train.

……

Outside the imperial capital, a green train was running fast on the track, and was heading towards Qinglong City, the guardian city of Xuanhuang City, at a constant speed and very steadily.

Inside the ordinary carriage of the Xuanhuang train, Ye Chen sat at a window, looking at the scenery passing quickly outside, and a smile appeared on his face.

Starting from nothing, step by step, he established the Yanhuang Empire, and then it took more than a hundred years to reach this point. Scenes flashed through his mind.

Although the civilization system did not provide him with direct help during his rise, he would not have been able to reach this point without the civilization system.

After all, if he didn't have a strong self-healing ability, let alone building an empire, with his physical condition and the harsh environment around him, he would have been killed in the first few years alone.

You have to know that he is now in North America, which has not been developed yet. Many places are in a primitive state. There are all kinds of poisonous insects. If he does not have the ability to heal himself, he will not be able to resist them. At the same time, some officials in the carriage looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside through the window, and they could not help but sigh in admiration.

Obviously, it is very novel that a huge steel monster like a train can run without human or animal power and can run so fast.

……

Although the speed of the empire's first train was not as fast as in the previous life, it was not too slow either. It took more than an hour to reach Qinglong City.

At this time, in front of a train track in Qinglong City, some people had already been waiting there. Leading them was Zhao Qingyun, the highest commander of Qinglong City, and other senior officials.

At this time, everyone was looking at the track eagerly.

"Woooo!!"

Accompanied by a low and loud whistle sound coming from afar.

Hearing this sound, the people waiting immediately perked up and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Soon, everyone saw a strangely shaped and huge steel monster driving towards them quickly.

"Could this be the train mentioned in the Empire Weekly? It looks so strange, and it's emitting smoke."

"I heard that this thing doesn't require human or animal power, and can run forever without getting tired just by eating a kind of black stone. I don't know if it's true or not."

"..."

Looking at the green train coming over, the people waiting were talking in low voices.

As the train arrived at the station, Ye Chen and others walked out of the carriage.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

"My dear friends, please be free."

"Your Majesty, you have been exhausted from the journey. I have already asked someone to prepare a banquet..."

"Yeah!" Ye Chen nodded, and then walked out of the station accompanied by Zhao Qinghong.

Qinglong City, as one of the four guard cities of the capital of Xuanhuang Empire, is as prosperous as the imperial capital.

Looking at the prosperity of Qinglong City, the people living and working in peace and contentment, and the endless sounds of hawking, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile. Whether a country is strong or not can be seen from the lives of its people.

……

In the next few days, the news that the train had begun to be put into use spread rapidly throughout the country through the newspaper system throughout the empire.

At the same time, with the commissioning of the train, the industrial age of the Yanhuang Empire had just begun.

With fast transportation tools like trains, the empire was quickly connected from north to south, the empire's commercial channels were quickly opened, and the economy was booming.

With the rapid development of the empire's economy, the era of large-scale infrastructure construction in the empire quickly began.

It can be said that the empire looks the same every day.

Watching the rapid development of the empire and feeling that it was about time, Ye Chen immediately exchanged a large amount of power technology from the system, from high to low, and invested it into the empire's education system.

As batches of the empire's top students graduated and entered society and various institutions in the empire, the development of electrical technology was rapidly integrated into them.

In the year 182 of the Yanhuang calendar, the empire's first car was born.

At the same time, the Kunpeng project was launched.

In the 197th year of the Yanhuang calendar, the empire's first airplane was born.

On that day, after learning the news, Ye Chen did not bother to deal with government affairs and immediately went to the airport built by the empire.

Before entering the airport, Ye Chen saw a black shadow flying across the sky, followed by the roar of an airplane engine.

Looking at the steel plane soaring in the sky, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"well."
