Iron Dynasty

The roar of the machine is as sweet as beautiful music. ㈧１

The combination of steam engine and drilling machine is a huge power change for Da Yuguo, 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 must drive multiple machines to move. This is the true value of a steam engine. If one machine drives several lathes to move, the connecting rods and crankshafts need to be used perfectly.

So he said: "Lin Wentao, for Qingzhou, this is a great improvement, but have you ever thought about letting a steam engine drive multiple machine tools? I remember to talk to you about connecting rods and crankshafts. A connecting rod and a crankshaft may be able to drive two, three, or even four drilling machines. In this way, a workshop may only need four or five steam engines to drive hundreds of lathes. It will greatly improve the utilization efficiency of the steam engine."

"His Royal Highness, Zhang Liu and I are considering this issue. 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, the number of Jenny textile machines that Your Highness explained is not Less, if every machine needs a steam engine, our steam engine workshop will be too busy." Lin Wentao said seriously.

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

This time he had an in-depth conversation with Claire in Geranj. Claire is still confident in the development of Europe, which shows that at least now Claire believes that they are still ahead.

"So this king can rest assured. You and Zhang Liu should speed up and let the steam engine drive the spinning machine as soon as possible." Xiao Ming ordered, "Qingzhou's textile industry depends on you."

Lin Wentao suddenly felt that the burden on him was heavier when he heard the words, but it was his only interest to restore the magical machinery from books, and he was full of interest.

After observing the drill press driven by the steam engine, Xiao Ming and his team left the workshop. The steam engine has just been born. This further research needs to be carried out continuously. He also counted on the use of the steam engine locomotive to connect the land.

Moreover, if you want to really suppress the barbarians, this steam locomotive is also necessary, because in this way, he can transport soldiers and baggage to the grassland through the steam locomotive, and the barbarians who have lost the mobile advantage of the cavalry will always surrender under his feet.

However, he can only think about these scenes now. After all, just building steam locomotives and railroad tracks is a huge project. For this, he needs a lot of slaves as labor.

"This steam engine really opened the eyes of the lower officials, and it is not inferior to what His Highness said. If the steam engine is promoted in the country, it will increase the productivity of the country by a hundredfold."

Pang Yukun exclaimed as a group of people walked leisurely on the Xiaoqing River outside the workshop.

Zhan Xingchang was also silent, and the rapid changes in Qingzhou made him a bit caught off guard. Now and Pang Yukun often go to the Library of Bowen College to read books.

These books were written by Xiao Ming stroke by stroke, and then printed by newspapers. From these government affairs books, they seemed to have entered a whole new world.

Especially the knowledge of world geography in Cangshuge, he learned for the first time that there is such a dangerous and powerful country outside of Great Yu. In the entire world map, Great Yu is just a corner, and their title is It's just a small dot on the map.

Today, Xiao Ming was very happy because of the steam engine. He said: "Now you should understand how much the country has fallen behind, right? Many Western countries are still ahead of us. If we don't catch up, we will be beaten sooner or later. "

Pang Yukun's expression became solemn. He also read the map of the world in the library. The map even marked the colonies of Western countries in the world.

He said: "In the past, the officials did not understand the painstaking efforts of your highness. He always thought that the Kingdom of Great Yu was the kingdom of the heavens, and it was the grand scene of the dynasty of all nations, but now he finally understands that the officials are just frogs at the bottom of the well. Cooperate with Your Highness."

"The same goes for subordinate officials." Zhan Xingchang said.

Xiao Ming smiled. Pang Yukun was the chief assistant of the country. It is hard to turn his head around. With the explosion of technology in Qingzhou, the government system of the country must also change according to the times.

Now Pang Yukun said that he felt relieved.

"Yes, you haven't been pedantic yet." Xiao Ming smiled lightly.

Pang Yukun smiled awkwardly, and said to Xiao Ming: "His Royal Highness went to Ryukyu this time, I don't know what I have seen or heard, and I don't know if I can tell it to the next official."

Since contacting the Dutch, Xiao Ming felt that it was necessary to popularize the current world knowledge in the officialdom to deal with the foreign trade of the closed country, so while admiring the spring water by the river, he talked about Relan to Pang Yukun and others. The Dutch in Zhecheng and the war in the Japanese kingdom.

A crowd of people exclaimed frequently when they heard it, and they really opened their eyes.

After chatting for a while by the river, seeing that it was getting late, he and everyone went back to the city and went back separately.

In the palace, Fei Yueer had been waiting for Xiao Ming for an afternoon.

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

"His Royal Highness, I must have been stopped halfway by Pang Shoufu again~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Fei Yue'er glanced at Xiao Ming angrily, while dusting Xiao Ming's cloak.

Xiaobie wins the newly-married marriage. Seeing Fei Yue'er and Xiao Ming's heart are also warm. The feeling of having a good wife waiting at home while he is outside is subtle. He grabbed Fei Yue'er's little hand and said: "Wang Hao, do you miss this king? "

Fei Yue'er was half sullen, and half sullenly said: "No, it's good to stay in the palace for two months."

"Hahaha..." Xiao Ming was amused by Fei Yue's little woman, he took Fei Yue'er into his arms and said: "This king has not gone to Ryukyu in vain, but he can bring it back this time. Without sugar cane, this king will let the craftsman make white sugar in these two days, and with the white sugar, this king can make hard candies for you."

"White sugar? What is hard candy?" Fei Yue'er showed a surprised look.

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Wang Hao, don't worry, you will know in two days, this thing is delicious."

"Well, your Highness, don't lie to your concubines." Fei Yueer said.

Xiao Ming nodded lightly. Another harvest he returned from Ryukyu this time was white sugar.
