Chapter 519 Shocking Speed
The rushing red steam fire engine immediately caused a commotion among the crowd.
"Is this the steam fire truck invented by His Royal Highness? My God, isn't this speed too fast?"
"That's right! It's at least one mile away from the south gate of Xianyang City, but how long has it been? It's still not enough for me to drink a cup of tea. How come we arrived so soon?"
"Is this still a firefighting vehicle? The speed is almost the same as that of an ordinary steam car, and even faster in my opinion!"
"The bulky thing of the water dragon is simply incomparable with the steam fire engine!"
"It's not just incomparable, it's a world of difference!"
As soon as the steam fire engine appeared on the scene, the onlookers were immediately shocked by its speed.
Because of the influence of the stereotype of water dragons, Daqin's fire-fighting vehicles are almost synonymous with slow speed in the hearts of the common people.
Even when the common people talk in normal times, they often use water dragons to tease those who walk slowly.
"The water dragons have arrived and you haven't arrived yet!"
In that era, this sentence can be described as the slowest and most insulting way to ridicule people.
It can be seen how deeply the people of Daqin were impressed by the slow speed of the water dragon.
However, today, the appearance of steam fire trucks can be said to have completely changed people's views on fire vehicles!
Running hundreds of meters in ten seconds is simply too shocking!
This was a speed that people couldn't even imagine before, but now this speed has appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Yu'er, the speed of your steam fire engine seems to be faster than that of ordinary steam vehicles. Did you use any special technology?"
Ying Zheng also showed surprise on his face when he saw the steam fire truck driving rapidly on the road.
"Yes, father, because a steam fire engine usually needs to carry a large amount of water, and there is a fire brigade composed of five to six people. The weight is often many times larger than that of a normal steam engine. turbines are not suitable."
"Therefore, when Erchen designed the steam fire truck, he added a large steam boiler to it. In this way, there is no need to consider that the steam fire truck is too heavy and the power of the steam fire truck is insufficient because of too much water. , leading to the problem of not being able to proceed any further.”
Ying Yu nodded and replied.
In fact, there was no such thing as a large-scale steam boiler in the first place. It was completely changed by Ying Yu from the super-large steam boiler specially used for ships and other giants.
Compared with super large steam boilers, there are many fewer parts and kinetic energy devices inside large steam boilers, and everything else is roughly the same, which can be regarded as a cut version of super large steam boilers.
After all, a steam fire truck needs a huge amount of water storage. If it is fully loaded, a whole fire brigade, plus the weight of the car itself, may have to be at least 5 or 6 tons, plus the reason for fire fighting , The steam fire engine also needs a fast support speed.
If there is no kinetic energy device with enough horsepower, I am afraid that it is impossible to even move the steam fire truck, let alone speed.
"His Royal Highness, the first steam fire engine has arrived at the fire drill site. Do you want other steam fire engines to come along?"
At this time, Nesten stepped forward and asked.
"No need, let the firefighters in the steam fire truck start the fire drill directly."
Ying Yu waved his hand.
Hearing this sentence, Nestern suddenly showed surprise.
In order to be able to simulate various complex situations in the event of a fire, and to incorporate housing structures such as double-storey attics, the fire demonstration house is quite large, and its footprint is comparable to the courtyards of some rich people.
In the face of such a large fire, only one steam fire engine was dispatched. Even if this was a fire drill, this decision was still very bold, even arrogant!
After all, countless people were watching the scene of the fire. If the car overturned, it would be a shame.
As for Ying Yu, the Crown Prince of Great Qin, if such an embarrassing incident happened, the consequences would be even more serious.
After all, because of all the magical things before, Ying Yu has already become synonymous with Daqin and the face of Daqin. His image in the hearts of countless people in Daqin is infinitely close to those sages who were worshiped in ancient times, and he can even be said to be his own. Scripture is a sage!
And as a sage, he should be perfect, and there should be no trace of flaws.
"His Royal Highness, I heard you right, did you mean that only one steam fire engine was dispatched for a fire drill?"
Nestern asked with some uncertainty.
Although under Ying Yu's instruction, he sent a group of people with fire fighting experience to learn how to drive a steam fire truck, but that's all. Ying Yu personally taught the members of the fire brigade how to use a steam fire truck .
Moreover, since its establishment, their entire fire brigade has never had many battles.
So Nei Shiteng, like the ministers of the DPRK and China and the people, this fire drill is also the first time he has seen the actual combat activities of steam fire trucks and fire brigades, so he naturally does not understand the true meaning of steam fire trucks and fire brigades. level of fire suppression.
"You heard it right, it's a steam fire engine, just follow what I said."
A confident smile appeared on Ying Yu's face.
The ministers who came to watch the ceremony together looked at each other with complicated thoughts.
Even though they had already been impressed by Ying Yu's various miraculous methods, they looked at the fire demonstration room which occupied a huge area and was completely covered by raging fire, and looked at the steam fire house which was a little thin compared to the tall houses. car.
This contrast gap is too strong!
Although the ministers don't say anything at the moment, they still have no idea in their hearts.
"His Royal Highness, I think it's better to deploy a few more steam fire trucks for the sake of safety. This fire demonstration house is quite large. With just this steam fire truck and five or six firefighters, I'm afraid it will be difficult to put out the fire quickly."
"Moreover, this fire drill is now under the watchful eyes of countless ordinary people, and there may even be many countries paying attention here. If something goes wrong, I am afraid that the majesty of my Great Qin will be lost. I am sorry for your Majesty and His Royal Highness. The position in the hearts of the people is also damaged."
Xiao He on the side hesitated for a while, and finally spoke to persuade.
