Chapter 129 Steam Locomotive
At the same time, on the other side, the registered disciples of Yinxian Peak in the Lingnan counties also arrived in the Southeast Asian countries with tens of thousands of Qin troops.

At that time, there were no powerful countries in Southeast Asia, and the tribes were all fighting each other. When the Qin army arrived, it was like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, sweeping across all the tribes.

With the help of the registered disciples of Yinxian Peak, they didn't even have the chance to hide in the mountains.

At this point, the Southeast Asian region fell into the territory of the Qin Dynasty.

At this time, the official roads built with cement in the Qin Dynasty in the past few years were contracted by various counties.

With the support of the countless treasures plundered from the Donghu and Xiongnu, they finally built a road directly leading to Lingnan. The next step would be to pave the way to Southeast Asia.

Moreover, thanks to the encouragement of Ying Zheng before him, the Qin's shipbuilding industry was considered advanced among its time.

Thanks to Ye Yu's reminders in recent years, the shipbuilding industry has made great progress, and the interactions with the coastal areas of Daqin have become closer.

Ship voyages from Lingnan to Southeast Asia also officially became fixed routes, promoting exchanges and development between the two regions.

As these registered disciples led many indigenous peoples of Central Asia and Southeast Asia to worship statues and build temples, a huge amount of power of thoughts from all living beings surged in.

Ye Yu's daily power of thought was directly increased by a large amount and could be distributed to more star gods. One after another, the star gods began to materialize successfully like mushrooms after a spring rain.

Each star god can transform into an extremely dazzling star, suspended above the nine heavens, forming a gorgeous starry sky above the entire Peicheng area within a radius of 100 miles.

The mysterious energy of starlight that is leveraged and absorbed is like an enormous amount.

As time went by, the images of the star gods became more substantial, and the amount of mysterious material energy that Ye Yu could absorb also skyrocketed.

The Yang Shen was also growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. At first, it was like a toddler, and then gradually grew to the appearance of three or four years old.

Then come the teenagers aged seven or eight, or fourteen or fifteen.

His appearance is becoming more and more like Ye Yu now.

At the same time, Ye Yu could feel that as Yang Shen grew, his own magic power was also skyrocketing, changing almost every month.

This speed of cultivation would probably be considered outrageous if placed in novels about cultivating immortals.

"It worked, haha, sir, it worked!"

One day, Ying Zheng received the news from Pei City. He ran up happily and told Ye Yu the good news.

The Hidden Immortal Peak is now more than a thousand meters high. From the foot of the mountain to the top, there is spiritual mist lingering around, and the long stone steps seem to have no end in sight.

At this time, Ying Zheng was extremely excited. He rushed up from the foot of the mountain impatiently and soon reached the top of the mountain.

Ye Yu, who was originally practicing on the top of the mountain, was also startled by Ying Zheng's excited shouting and opened his eyes.

"Sir, there has been a huge breakthrough in steam locomotives."

When Ying Zheng saw Ye Yu, the joy in his heart was beyond words.

In this way, the transportation problems in the east, west, south and north of Daqin will be greatly improved.

“Oh, go check it out!”

Ye Yu immediately became interested.

In fact, Ye Yu had proposed the concept of the steam engine a long time ago, and Daqin's craftsmen have been developing it in recent years.

In fact, the principle of the steam engine is very simple. It was developed several years ago shortly after Ye Yu proposed it.

In recent years, it has been gradually tried in metallurgy, coal transportation, water pumping, textile, coinage, etc. However, the speed is not fast enough, and it has been improving in recent years. Ying Zheng wants to use it as a means of transportation, so he naturally hopes that the speed will be as high as possible.

When steam locomotives of later generations developed to maturity, they could even run at speeds of over 200 kilometers per hour.

However, the Qin Dynasty is still far from it now, but even if it has half or even a quarter of its speed, it can bring about earth-shaking changes in this era.

After all, even if it is one-fourth the speed, it is still 50 to 60 kilometers, which is more than 100 miles per hour.

Nowadays, even if you ride a horse, you can travel more than 200 miles a day, which is considered fast. Traveling by horse-drawn carriage is very slow, with a maximum of more than 100 miles a day.

But of course, the main reason is that the road in this era is difficult to walk, but the low efficiency can be imagined.

If the Qin Empire is really equipped with steam locomotives, it is conceivable that the distances across the world will be shortened. Not only will the Qin Empire have greater control over local areas, but it will also be able to expand to more distant places.

Ye Yu pointed at Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng's body flew up in an instant. Ye Yu also soared into the sky and flew towards the direction of the steam locomotive in an instant.

The steam locomotive test site is located in the west of Peicheng, where a steam locomotive track several miles long was built.

At this time, many officials were already waiting for the arrival of His Majesty the First Emperor with excitement. Not long after, they saw two figures flying down from the sky.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, and Greetings, Sir!"

When the officials around saw the First Emperor and Ye Yu coming, their hearts began to beat fast with excitement and they all bowed respectfully.

The officials of the Qin Dynasty now call Ye Yu Mr. Ye, mainly because Meng Tian, ​​Li Si and the personal soldiers of Ying Zheng all called him that before.

Later, this custom was extended to other officials.

This is also the reason why many officials of the Qin Dynasty are more proud of others. The officials of the Qin Dynasty all call the immortals "Sir", which naturally seems closer than calling others "Dao Zun".

Among these officials, many were promoted from the artisan class, and it is said that most of them were from the Mohist school.

Over the past few years, Ying Zheng has obviously realized the great role of these craftsmen, especially with Ye Yu's guidance.

These craftsmen were able to quickly develop what Ye Yu had said to Ying Zheng, so in the past few years, the status of craftsmen in Daqin has rapidly risen.

Then, under the blockade of the Qin army on all sides, many officials and craftsmen witnessed that a huge streamlined steam locomotive began to continuously add coal, accompanied by the sound of the steam whistle.

The steam locomotive started to move, gradually increasing in speed, spewing out large amounts of thick fog.

"Okay, hahahaha, this speed is even faster than a warhorse!"

Ying Zheng's eyes shone brightly and he congratulated loudly.

The maximum speed of a horse can reach 60 kilometers, which is about 120 miles per hour, and it cannot maintain this speed all the time.

The steam locomotive in front of us can run non-stop day and night as long as there is enough coal, over and over again. In addition, it can carry several carriages, so its efficiency is simply incomparable to that of horses.

"It's nearly 80 kilometers per hour. The craftsmen of the Mohist School are truly amazing."

Ye Yu estimated the speed of this steam locomotive, which had been researched for several years and started with the steam engine. It was indeed a little beyond Ye Yu's expectations.

Nearly eighty kilometers, although there is still a long way to go to reach the truly mature peak of more than 200 kilometers, it is undoubtedly a huge improvement.

In recent years, cement has been vigorously developed. In the past one or two years, production has even begun in major counties and counties, and even a cement road running from north to south has been built.

Coupled with the steam locomotive, the development of steel smelting, and the tremendous progress in textile machines, everything indicated that Daqin was rapidly entering the industrial revolution.
