The vibrations that accompanied the chugging noise made Ren Baqian feel as if the train could break apart at any time.
This empty plot of land outside Lan City was fenced up and contained a circular track measuring 400 meters in diameter. A locomotive pulling two wooden rail cars was running on the track, continuously making loud noises all the time.
Ren Baqian, the empress, and the others were sitting in the second carriage at the back while the smoke from the steam engine followed the airstream and blew at them.
"It's much faster than a cow carriage," commented Zhuo Yan, the Minister of Justice, as he felt the wind generated by the moving train.
"It's also much smoother," everyone chorused.
With the standard of roads in this world, plus the wooden wheels and shock absorbers, very strong buttocks were needed when riding in the city, not to mention riding on those roads outside the city.
