The steam engine made by Mr. Lin was the size of half a carriage, with a boiler on the left, a huge wheel on the right, and some parts in the middle that could not be seen to be used for.

When the water is added to the boiler and the oil is ignited underneath, it doesn't take long for the wheel to start spinning slowly, and faster and faster.

"Connect other wheels or devices to this wheel and you're ready to go." Master Lin said with excitement on his face.

"For example?" Ouyang Jun asked curiously.

"Now there is no need for manpower to board the ship for oil extraction, and it is safe to use this steam engine." Mr. Lin replied.

"Oil?" Another unintelligible word.

"It's the oil that burns under this boiler, it's easy to ignite, and it's much better than ordinary oil." Master Lin explained.

"And if you add one more wheel, isn't it a cart that doesn't use horses?" Li Qingyi said thoughtfully.

"That's right! I'm going to make this car next. ”

"And how fast would such a car be?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely faster than Maxima. And it doesn't have to rest. I think maybe I'll be able to get from the capital to Yancheng overnight in the future. Master Lin imagined.

Everyone thought what he said was a bit incredible, but they couldn't think of any reason to refute it. If you think about it, if it can be done, maybe it's not a dream.

"If you can use it on a car, can you use it on a boat?"

"It should be okay too."

"That ......"

It's like a brainstorming session, where one idea after another is brought up and affirmed. The more everyone talked, the more excited they became, and they forgot about the passage of time.

Jiang Wanbai listened to them talk on the sidelines, a little apprehensive, if they did everything they said, it would be no less than an industrial revolution.

The industrial revolution will accelerate human civilization, but it will also bring a lot of problems, such as the decline of traditional industries, such as the change of family model, social model, and so on.

I just don't know if the emperor and the people of the Li Dynasty are ready to meet this revolution!

Forget it, this is probably not something she can manage.

At this time, Tian Chengyu, Tian Chengyu, came back from school, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the figure of the hired person under the willow tree.

"The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side. Tracing from it, the road is blocked and long, and tracing from it, just like in the middle of the water. ”

Tian Chengyu was stunned.

Dong Yanya was also stunned.

After a while, Tian Chengyu said softly: "You are here." ”

Dong Yanya nodded, and took out the jade pendant that Tian Chengyu gave her, "Looking at it every day, I always feel worried." As she spoke, she handed the jade pendant to Tian Chengyu, "Now that I see you, it's better to give it back to you." ”

Dong Yanyan said it implicitly, but Tian Chengyu understood what she meant, his mouth rose slightly, and he stuffed the jade pendant back into her hand, "Since you are concerned, why not stay!" ”

Dong Yanya's cheeks flushed, and she gently held the jade pendant in her hand.

Recently, the Tian family, or Tian Laosan's husband and wife, can be described as double happiness. First of all, Tian Chengyun is a big problem, and he is finally getting married, and he is still married to Meng Guoer, who they have always thought will become their daughter-in-law, and everyone is happy.

Secondly, Tian Chengyu and Dong Yanyan are engaged. Tian Chengyu is very famous in the capital, and when he gets married, I don't know how many girls in the boudoir are going to be heartbroken.

But they weren't in a hurry to get married. The scientific examination is imminent, so it is natural to wait for Tian Chengyu to participate in the scientific examination before getting married.

In the last scientific expedition, Di Boxiu was a blockbuster and won the position of champion, but I don't know if Tian Chengyu can be so lucky this time.

On the day of the release of the scientific expedition, the Tian family went to the teahouse opposite the imperial list early to wait.

And I don't know if it's a coincidence or what's going on, the table they sat at turned out to be the same table that Jiang Wanbai and Zeng Jingwen sat at three years ago, which made Jiang Wanbai feel a sense of déjà vu.

Just as she was immersed in this wonderful feeling, there was a sudden cheer and noise outside.

"Tian Chengyu, the new champion." "It's Leng Yu Gongzi." "The champion is Chengyu."

I can't tell whether it's the people outside who are talking or the people of the Tian family who are talking, but they all express one meaning, that is, Tian Chengyu really won the champion.

recalled the scene of Di Boxiu's champion three years ago, and then looked at Tian Chengyu, who was standing in the crowd, Jiang Wanbai couldn't help but show a smile.

The champions of both subjects are people she knows, which is also a rare experience!

It's still a Qionglin banquet, a horse parade, and then an official. It's just that Tian Chengyu is not as good as Di Boxiu in military merits, and he married the county lord as his wife, so he was not appointed as a Beijing official, but was named the prefect of Hangzhou, and took office on the same day.

Hangzhou is the land of fish and rice, and Tian Chengyu is really lacking, so the emperor treats him very favorably.

The day of taking office is approaching, and the Tian family held a wedding for him and Dong Yanya. Fortunately, this matter has already been prepared before, otherwise, it will definitely be in a hurry.

The cave room spends candle night, when the gold list is inscribed. After these two great joys in his life, Tian Chengyu said goodbye to his parents and relatives, and took Dong Yanya to Hangzhou to take office.

The sorrow of parting made the Tian family suddenly deserted.

In September, the osmanthus flowers were fragrant, Jiang Wanbai looked at the little yellow petals, and suddenly felt like a world away. It's been nearly five years since she's been here, and she used to be busy every day, but lately, she's feeling more and more overwhelmed.

This body, after all, is old, unlike her original body, which is full of vitality.

Perhaps, it's time to realize your ideals.

"Old lady, old lady, my steam car is finished, come and see." Like an excited child, Master Lin jumped in, and couldn't help but say, pulling Jiang Wanbai and walking outside.

At the door, a three-wheeled, tractor-like thing was running, and the chimney in front of the car emitted puffs of smoke, attracting many onlookers.

Li Qingyi and Ouyang Jun were also there, they saw Jiang Wanbai, and hurriedly greeted: "Come up and try it, this car is really magical." ”

Jiang Wanbai was not as excited as they imagined. Also, she is used to seeing all kinds of luxury cars and airplanes, and now she can be happy when she sees such a thing that is more tractor than a tractor.

But Master Lin didn't care about that, she pulled Jiang Wanbai to get on the tractor, started the car, and drove out of the city.

To be honest, this car is really simple enough, even if there is no canopy to protect it from the wind and rain, it is not even blocked, it can only drive forward at a fixed speed.

What worries Jiang Wanbai even more is that this car, like all ancient cars, has no shock absorption.

When I was in the capital, the ground was relatively flat, and I didn't feel anything, but as soon as I got out of the city, the uneven road was like a nightmare.

After only walking for a while, Jiang Wanbai felt that her stomach was about to be turned upside down, and she had to hurry up and stop.

Fortunately, the car's braking system is still very good, and as soon as she shouted, Master Lin immediately stopped the car.

"How's that, isn't it amazing?" Master Lin looked at Jiang Wanbai with a look of praise on his face.

Jiang Wanbai really didn't want to hit him, so he had to use euphemistic words, first praised the car, and then said, "If you can add a canopy, a shock absorber will be better." ”

Mr. Lin listened thoughtfully.

At this time, Li Qingyi and Ouyang Jun also rode horses to chase after them, and said in surprise: "This car is really much faster than a horse." It's just that the two people in this car are a little crowded, otherwise, I also want to have a good time. ”

"Just make the front of the car bigger, or add another body to the back of the car." Jiang Wanbai said very casually.

But just such a sentence inspired Master Lin a lot, and he immediately took out a pen and a piece of paper from the side and began to draw.

Jiang Wanbai looked at his serious appearance, and this car was not yet perfect, but an idea suddenly popped up.

"As the saying goes, 'It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books.'" Just like this car, only by running can you find out where it is lacking, so let's travel around the country and even the world!

Maybe we can discover something more amazing than oil, maybe we can see something that no one can explain, and that beautiful scenery and scenery, so that our life will be in vain. ”

Master Lin was stunned for a moment, but then he was attracted by what she depicted, and clapped his hands and said, "Okay! When I put a canopy and body on this car, we'll go. ”

It's so easy to find a driver, Jiang Wanbai laughed, "Then I'll go back and deal with some things, and then we'll set off."

I thought, where are we going to go first? I heard that the scenery of Mobei is very good, 'the desert is lonely, and the sun sets on the long river. 'Shall we go there first?' ”

"I've long heard that there is a mysterious green light phenomenon in Mobei, and I've always wanted to study it, but I haven't done it, so I can go and see how the green light is formed this time." The two hit it off.

Mobei! As soon as Li Qingyi's heart moved, his family was exiled there. Although he knew that they would not forgive him, he still wanted to see if they were okay.

Besides, he didn't want to stay in this sad place in the capital anymore, so he might as well go outside and walk like a chivalrous man.

"Count me in, I'll go with you." He said immediately.

Jiang Wanbai is naturally willing, these days, there are often robbers and bandits outside, Bachelor Lin is a scholar, she is a woman, she is really a little worried about their safety, but with Li Qingyi's bodyguard, this matter can be solved.

"I want to go too, but it's a pity ......," Ouyang Jun said with some annoyance.

"Forget it, the general of the imperial court, he has a lot of opportunities, unlike us, they are all idlers." Jiang Wanbai teased Ouyang Jun.

"Humph!" Ouyang Jun snorted coldly, took out a waist card from his sleeve and handed it to her, "This is my token, if you encounter anything outside, as long as there is a place where there are garrisons, they will all recognize this token, and they will definitely help you." ”

This is a good thing, Jiang Wanbai quickly put it away. But she didn't thank her, between them, there was no need to say this at all, but used a very playful way to express her feelings - a fist, she smiled: "The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, we regret it for a while." ”

"You're not gone yet." Ouyang Jun said dissatisfiedly, "Sometimes, I really suspect that you are not an old lady at all, but a little girl as old as us. Say, you're not a monster from where you pretend! ”

"yes, I'm a youkai pretend. Moreover, my monster is not simple, it is a monster from the future, who knows astronomy, geography, the five elements, and gossip, how about it, I'm afraid. Jiang Wanbai also joked.

"It's strange if I'm afraid of you, see if I don't accept you."

Everyone laughed.

Master Lin went back to renovate the car, Li Qingyi did his best to teach Tian Cheng'an martial arts, and Jiang Wanbai had to deal with family affairs.

In fact, there seems to be nothing to deal with at home, everyone who should start a family has become a family, and those who should marry have also married.

However, there are still some things to deal with.

First of all, there is the problem of the clams. At that time, she didn't have that much silver in her hand, so she didn't buy it from the thin monkey, but only said that she would put it on consignment with her first, and then give it to him when she sold it.

Now that she has the money in her hands, the matter is on the agenda.

After contacting Skinny Monkey, Skinny Monkey did not ask for silver, but put forward another request, that is, he wanted one-tenth of the shares of Zizhi Sauce.

Jiang Wanbai thought about it and agreed. Although in the long run, it is certain that the price paid for the buyout is a little smaller, but giving him shares is equivalent to getting a loyal employee, which money cannot buy.

What's more, the thin monkey is working with the Tian family, and there is also the affection of common hardship and common prosperity, so this method is obviously better.

Secondly, it is she who has increased the benefits shared by everyone in the Tian family. Whereas they used to be one-third of their own business, they now account for two-thirds.

In this way, there are fewer ties between them. In the future, if Jiang Wanbai doesn't want to come back, or something happens, there will be fewer disputes between them.

After doing these two things, Jiang Wanbai began to prepare the items for the trip, and patiently waited for Master Lin to get the car ready.

This waited until the beginning of spring of the following year.

On March 12th, it is not suitable to get married, break ground, and travel.

When the city gate was first opened, Jiang Wanbai, Lin Bachelor, and Li Qingyi quickly disappeared into the □□ in the sky in their four-wheeled car.

"The egret flies in front of the Xisai Mountain, and the peach blossom flowing water is fat for mandarin fish.

Green hats, green clothes, slanting wind and drizzle do not need to return. ”
