The roar of the machine is as pleasant as beautiful music. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The combination of steam engine and drilling machine is a huge change in power for Dayu Kingdom, but it is not enough for Xiao Ming, because a steam engine only drives a drilling machine, which is a huge waste of mechanical power.

In fact, in the industrial revolution, a steam engine is to drive multiple machines to move, which is the real value of the steam engine, and if one machine drives several lathes to move, it requires the perfect use of connecting rods and crankshafts.

So he said: "Lin Wentao, for Qingzhou, this is a great progress, but have you ever thought about letting one steam engine drive multiple machine tools to move?" I remember telling you about the connecting rod and the crankshaft, one connecting rod, one crankshaft, maybe can drive two, three, or even four drilling machines to move, so that a workshop may only need four or five steam engines to drive hundreds of lathes, and this will greatly improve the efficiency of the use of steam engines. ”

"Your Highness, Zhang Liu and I are thinking about this problem, now Zhang Liu is studying how to make a crankshaft drive five drilling machines to work at the same time, if successful, we will continue to consider driving more machinery, after all, His Royal Highness has explained that there are a lot of Jenny looms, if each machine needs a steam engine, our steam engine workshop will not be busy." Lin Wentao said seriously.

Xiao Ming nodded, Lin Wentao had already worked hard in this area, he was relieved, he didn't want to let Europe surpass in industry in this time and space, at least in some fields, he had to go ahead.

This time in the city of Geranza, he and Claire had an in-depth conversation, and Claire is still full of confidence in the development of Europe, which shows that at least for now, Claire believes that they are still ahead.

"In this way, the king can rest assured, you and Zhang Liu should speed up and let the steam engine drive the textile machine to rotate as soon as possible." Xiao Ming instructed, "Qingzhou's textile industry depends on you. ”

When Lin Wentao heard this, he suddenly felt that the burden on his body was a little heavier, but restoring the magical machinery from the book was his only interest now, and he was full of interest.

After observing the drilling machine driven by the steam engine, Xiao Ming and his party left the workshop, the steam engine had just been born, and this further research still needed to be carried out, and he also counted on the use of steam locomotives to connect the fiefdoms.

Moreover, if he wanted to really suppress the barbarians, this steam locomotive was also necessary, because in this way, he could transport soldiers and baggage to the steppe through the steam locomotive, and the barbarians who lost the advantage of cavalry mobility would always be subjugated to his feet.

However, he could only think about these scenes now, after all, the construction of steam locomotives and railroad tracks alone was a huge undertaking, and for this he needed a large number of slaves to serve as labor.

"This steam engine really opened the eyes of the lower officials, and it is really not inferior to what His Royal Highness said, if the steam engine is popularized in the feudal country, it will increase the productivity of the feudal country by a hundred times."

The group walked leisurely on the bank of the Xiaoqing River outside the workshop, and Pang Yukun let out an exclamation.

Zhan Xingchang was also silent, the rapid changes in Qingzhou caught him a little off guard, and now he and Pang Yukun often go to the library of Bowen College to read books.

These books were all written down by Xiao Ming one by one and then printed by the newspaper, and they seemed to have entered a new world from these government affairs books.

Especially the knowledge of world geography in the library pavilion, he knew for the first time that there was such a dangerous and powerful country outside of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and on the entire world map, the Great Chongqing Kingdom was just a corner of the country, and their feudal country was just a small dot on the map.

Xiao Ming was very happy today because of the steam engine, and he said: "Now you should understand how far behind the Great Yu Kingdom is, right?" At present, many Western countries are still ahead of us, and if we do not catch up, we will be beaten sooner or later. ”

Pang Yukun's expression was solemn, he had also looked at the world map in the library pavilion, and even marked the colonies of Western countries in the world on the map.

He said: "In the past, the lower officials did not understand His Royal Highness's painstaking efforts, and always thought that the Great Yu Kingdom was the upper kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and it should be the grand scene of all nations coming to the dynasty, but now I finally understand that the lower officials are just frogs at the bottom of the well, and from now on, the lower officials will fully cooperate with His Highness." ”

"The same is true for Xiaguan." Zhan Xingchang said.

Xiao Ming smiled, Pang Yukun is the first assistant of the feudal country, it is rare for his head to turn around, with the outbreak of science and technology in Qingzhou, the government affairs system of the feudal country must also change according to the times.

Now that Pang Yukun said this, he was relieved.

"Yes, you're not pedantic yet." Xiao Ming smiled faintly.

Pang Yukun smiled awkwardly and said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness didn't know what you had seen or heard when you went to Ryukyu this time, and I don't know if I could tell the lower officials." ”

Since he came into contact with the Dutch, Xiao Ming felt that it was necessary to popularize the current world knowledge in the officialdom to deal with the overseas trade of the feudal country, so while admiring the spring water of the river by the river, he told Pang Yukun and others about the Dutch in Gelanza City and the war of the Japanese Kingdom.

The crowd was amazed when they heard it, and they really opened their eyes.

After chatting by the river for a while, he saw that it was getting late, so he and everyone went back to the city and went back to each other.

In the palace, Fei Yue'er had been waiting for Xiao Ming for an afternoon.

At noon, she learned that Xiao Ming had entered the city, but she didn't see Xiao Ming come back until the evening.

"Your Highness, you must have been stopped by Pang Shoufu halfway again." , Fei Yue'er glanced at Xiao Ming with disgust, while dusting off the cloak for Xiao Ming.

Xiao Biesheng was newly married, seeing Fei Yue'er, Xiao Ming's heart was also warm, and the feeling that he was outside and had a good wife waiting at home was delicate, he grabbed Fei Yue'er's little hand and said, "Princess, do you miss this king?" ”

Fei Yue'er was half coquettish, half angry, and said, "No, it is good for His Highness to go for two months." ”

"Hahaha......" Xiao Ming was amused by Fei Yue'er's little woman's appearance, he took Fei Yue'er into his arms, and said: "This king didn't go to Ryukyu this time in vain, this time I can bring back a lot of sugarcane, in the past two days, this king will let the craftsman boil white sugar, and with white sugar, this king can make hard candy for you to eat." ”

"White sugar? What are hard candies? Fei Yue'er looked surprised.

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Don't worry, princess, you will know in two days, this thing is delicious." ”

"Okay, Your Highness, don't lie to your concubines." Fei Yue'er said.

Xiao Ming nodded lightly, another harvest he had gained from returning from Ryukyu this time was white sugar.
