Chapter 515 The Shocked Officials
Following Ying Yu's introduction, the faces of the ministers in the court showed shock, even Ying Zheng was no exception.
After all, everyone knows very well that the most important thing in fighting a fire is time!
Because every time you slow down by 1 minute, it is very likely that one person will be swallowed by the fire, and countless treasures will be destroyed. The fire will not wait for you to come slowly, so in order to reduce more losses and casualties, firefighting Whether in ancient times or modern times, every second counts.
As for the steam fire truck that Ying Yu mentioned, its speed alone is far superior to that of a water dragon. If it is really popularized, it will be a qualitative leap in Daqin's fire prevention and control! !
"These are nothing. The general water dragon car needs manpower to propel, and its continuous working ability is also greatly limited. It must be replaced constantly to continue moving forward. However, the steam fire truck has stable power. As long as the coal in the boiler Sufficient, it can last more than ten hours, and this steam fire engine is undoubtedly much better than the water dragon.”
"And its wheels are specially made, which can cope with many complex road conditions. It will not only go on flat ground like a water dragon, and it will stop when it encounters a lot of stones or uneven roads."
"It can be said that when a fire breaks out, one steam fire truck can completely serve the role of a hundred water dragons!
If all the water dragons in Daqin can be replaced with steam fire trucks, and the steam fire trucks can be completely popularized, I believe it will definitely improve the fire protection of my Daqin! "
Having said this, a smile appeared on Ying Yu's face.
In fact, what he said was conservative. You must know that the speed of the steam fire truck alone is hundreds of times that of the water dragon. Hundreds of times.
In addition, the water capacity of a steam fire truck is several times that of a water dragon. In this way, one steam fire truck is worth more than a hundred water dragons, and there are probably a thousand of them!
After all, this steam fire engine is a product of modern technology, so how could it be comparable to the crudely made water dragons thousands of years ago.
"If it's true what you said, the steam fire engine is so miraculous, then this proposal is natural. Our water dragon vehicle in Daqin has been used for so long, and it is indeed time to upgrade it!"
Ying Zheng looked very happy sitting on the high hall.
"Actually, apart from popularizing steam fire engines, Erchen has another plan, that is, we can use steam fire engines as a basis to establish a fire brigade in every town, which is responsible for the fire prevention and control in its own area. .”
"In this way, the probability of a fire in Daqin will be greatly reduced, and even if it does, it will be extinguished quickly, avoiding more and greater casualties and property losses."
Ying Yu said loudly, and the sound spread throughout the hall.
In the court hall, Meng Yi, Dun Wei and other courtiers looked at each other, with expressions of admiration and even reverence on their faces.
His Royal Highness is indeed His Royal Highness, but with a few simple words, he has clearly analyzed the matter of fire prevention and control, and each point of advice hits the point, and easily solved hundreds of problems that troubled Daqin. fire problem.
Especially the plan about the steam fire truck proposed later is even more refreshing and shocking!
Before this, they had never even realized that there were so many loopholes in Daqin's fire protection.
Compared with Ying Yu's steam fire engine plan, the original method of fire prevention is too crude.
"His Royal Highness is indeed a great talent who has never been born in the world for thousands of years. It is a blessing for us and the blessing of all people in the world to have a crown prince like His Highness!"
The ministers couldn't help sighing in their hearts.
"Okay, the prince's plan is indeed very feasible. As for the specific matters, since Nesten participated in the casting of the steam fire engine, I will leave it to you to take care of everything."
Ying Zheng issued his order.
"promise!"
Nestern immediately bowed to accept the order.
"Thank you, Father, for your trust."
"In addition, in order to accelerate the popularization of steam fire engines, Erchen thinks that a fire drill can be held in Xianyang City."
Ying Yu put forward his own idea again.
"Fire drill? What kind of drill are you going to do?"
Ying Zheng suddenly became interested.
"To tell my father, it's actually very simple. We deliberately created a fire scene, called the people to watch it, and then followed the normal fire rescue process to demonstrate it in front of the people."
"This will surely impress them more about the power of the steam fire truck than words or oral transmissions. This way of spreading the word will attract more people to join the fire brigade, and it will also benefit the firefighters. team building."
Ying Yu smiled and explained.
"That's great. When the day of the fire drill is over, I will go with you. With the two of us taking the lead, I believe the influence will be even greater."
Ying Zheng smiled and nodded.
"Since both His Majesty and His Royal Highness have this intention, I will now go to the city gate to issue an announcement to inform the people of Xianyang City about the fire drill. If they know that His Majesty and His Royal Highness are also there, they will definitely swarming."
Xiao He hurried forward and said.
"Okay, you can start to prepare. As for the location, let's set it at the south gate of Xianyang City."
.......
Needless to say, Xiao He's efficiency in handling affairs, as soon as the announcement was issued, it immediately aroused heated discussions among the public
"What? His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness are going to conduct a fire drill, and the location is still at the south gate of Xianyang City!"
"Don't you know? There has just been a big fire at the south gate of Xianyang City. It is said that the entire street has been destroyed. It's too miserable!"
"Yes, but those dead souls are commemorated by His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness, so they must be able to rest in peace."
"What are you doing in peace? Have you read the Daqin Daily? No one died in that fire, and in recent days, not only the south gate of Xianyang City had a fire, but other places in Daqin also had frequent fires."
"It seems that this matter has attracted the attention of the superiors. Both His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness are planning to rectify this matter."
"That's right, if we don't rectify it, I don't know how many innocent people will suffer!
"Seeing that you guys are chatting so vigorously, what do you mean by this fire drill? How is it done?"
"You don't know this? To put it simply, it is to rehearse the fire fighting process in front of us. It is said that the purpose is to promote the new steam fire truck of His Royal Highness."
