Early in the morning of the second day, Li Yan came to Tiangong Academy.

Today's main arrangements are three, one is to continue to explain and consolidate the basic knowledge of physics for the ten craftsmen, the second is to arrange for people to go to Tiangong Institute to carry out the mass production of paper machines, and the third and most important thing at present, that is, to guide the remaining craftsmen to understand the manufacture and principle of the steam engine.

The manufacture of steam engines is still quite complicated, especially in the era when the alloy process was not developed and there was no lathe-assisted manufacturing.

Most of the parts of the steam engine had to rely on melting and forging.

And most importantly, while making the parts, Li Yan also had to make the craftsmen who made it understand the role of each part, and the role of the different systems composed of each part in the whole of the steam engine.

Only by allowing the craftsmen to truly understand the principle of the steam engine can they independently reproduce the second steam engine without Li Yan's help, and independently perform the maintenance work after the completion of the steam engine.

The production of the steam engine is a top priority, and it is absolutely not to be sloppy.

This thing is not only the highlight of the first industrial revolution, but also one of the cores of thermal power generators in the future era of electricity.

You know, even in later generations, the steam engine was never obsolete, it just changed its appearance and played another important role elsewhere.

All in all, for example, the most important project of today's engineering institute is the research and development understanding of steam engines, followed by the compilation of teaching materials initiated by Li Yan himself, and finally the research and manufacturing of other applied machinery.

"A few of you go to Tiangong Academy, bring the paper machine drawings, and let Tiangong Academy manufacture at least ten units within ten days."

Li Yan named several craftsmen, including five papermakers, one carpenter, one blacksmith, and one picture reader.

After arranging this matter, Li Yan shouted that the remaining nine craftsmen who needed to attend classes entered the inner room and began today's explanation.

It is still the early stage of industrialization, and these people in the Tiangong Academy are the first batch cultivated by Li Yan, and they are also the only batch cultivated by himself.

When the craftsmen in the Academy of Engineering can be in charge today, it will be the time when Li Yan officially assigns all of them to teach at the Tiangong Academy.

In the future, Tiangong Institute will no longer recruit people from the private sector, but will only select real talents with a solid foundation from Tiangong Academy.

But it will take time, and Li Yan now has to do his best to train this batch of seed talents.

The teaching lasted for nearly two hours, straight up to noon.

"You each take back the exam papers, do it again, and I'll come back to the school tomorrow."

Li Yan pointed to a pile of papers that were buckled upside down on the table, and motioned for everyone to take back yesterday's exam papers.

It makes sense to learn from the past.

The first two tasks are solved, and today's task is only the final highlight, leading this steam engine R&D team to promote the final R&D progress.

You must know that the research and development of the steam engine began from the first day of the establishment of the Tiangong Academy.

All the people in the Tiangong Academy, except for the five papermakers, have been involved in related work to a greater or lesser extent, and they are all members of the team.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the development and understanding of the steam engine has reached the real final stage, and only about 25% of the work remains.

Suffice it to say that the date of completion of the steam engine was already predictable.

In no more than half a month, the first steam engine of Datang will come out.

At that time, the achievement task of the industrial module is likely to reach more than 50% in one fell swoop, and Li Yan will also get at least 170 achievement points at one time, and the achievement level will also reach level 3.

The Achievement Shop at Level 3 may have some surprises.

With this idea in mind, Li Yan led the team to bring it seriously.

Li Yan had never been so serious when he was doing his graduation project in his previous life.

Looking at the increasing perfection of this steam engine, Li Yan seemed to see the immortal cultivation module that he had in mind beckoning to him, and the distance of his dream seemed to be within reach......

But as the saying goes, you have to eat a bite to eat, and even if the development of the steam engine enters the final stage, it can be done in one day.

Perhaps Li Yan could ignore the understanding of the craftsmen and assemble a working steam engine in one day, but this did not make much sense.

If he only pursues physical objects, Li Yan can directly exchange the steam engine from "Minecraft", and the quality of the steam engine is definitely better than that made by craftsmen.

However, if Li Yan does this, he will definitely not be able to promote the progress of the achievement task of the industrial revolution, nor can he obtain the corresponding achievement points, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, after a busy day, Li Yan did not pursue the result, but only made sure that the craftsmen understood the existing steps in place, and then returned to his Qin State Mansion in a happy mood.

In the following days, Li Yan basically repeated these steps.

During this period, except for Wang Xiaoxi, who came to the Tiangong Academy from time to time to find Li Yan, Li Yan's life was basically quite monotonous.

After Wang Xiaoxi came several times in a row, she adapted to this kind of life, came to Tiangong Institute on time every day, and even maintained a tacit understanding with Li Yan to arrive at the same time every day, and unconsciously mixed into the research and development team of the steam engine.

The most outrageous thing is that even though Wang Xiaoxi was the last person to join this team, she relied on her amazing IQ, and in just a few days, relying on the existing completed mechanical parts, and Li Yan opened a small stove from time to time to explain, she directly understood the entire drawing of the steam engine.

I have to say that Wang Xiaoxi is really a real genius in science and engineering.

Fortunately, her talent is strong enough, and she has won the reputation of the first talented woman in Luoyang just by relying on arithmetic, one of her talents.

It is precisely by virtue of this reputation that she has the opportunity to enter Li Shimin's vision and have the opportunity to get together with Li Yan.

If Wang Xiaoxi hadn't met Li Yan, she might have been able to make a big name in arithmetic, but she would inevitably have lost sight of everyone after encountering a family marriage.

……

"Grandpa Guo! I see, it turns out that the combination of cylinder and transmission rod is used like this! ”

"I get it too!"

"Grandpa Guo, we are done!"

On the last day of September, cheers erupted in the Tiangong Temple.

While cheering, a near-complete steam engine appeared in the middle of the courtyard.

Now that the last rod has been cast, it is only necessary to combine it with the cylinder and the steam engine will be finished.

"Xiaoxi, you go, if it weren't for you, this steam engine wouldn't have come out so soon."

Li Yan patted Wang Xiaoxi on the shoulder and handed the last part to Wang Xiaoxi.

These days, due to the presence of Wang Xiaoxi, she and Li Yan both have a complete and correct understanding of the steam engine.

With the cooperation of the two people, the other craftsmen of the Tiangong Academy improved their understanding of the various parts of the steam engine rapidly.

It was completely completed on the last day of September.

"Good!"

Wang Xiaoxi didn't shirk any prevarication and took over the transmission rod.

She is no longer the "otaku" who only knows how to do arithmetic.

After being in contact with Li Yan for so long, Wang Xiaoxi's talent has a momentum of all-round development, and has reached the highest level of Tiangong Academy except for Li Yan himself in mathematics, physics, and mechanical manufacturing.

Its hands-on ability is also incomparable, assembling a transmission rod for Wang Xiaoxi, it is not a problem at all!

Wang Xiaoxi's movements were very fast, and it only took more than ten seconds to complete the assembly.

The moment the assembly is completed, a prompt from "Minecraft" appears instantly.

"Congratulations on completing the Special Progression Achievement Mission: Industrial Revolution mod: Start the Industrial Revolution today (50%)"

"Congratulations on earning 170 achievement points"

"Congratulations on earning 170 Achievement XP"

"Current Achievement Points: 175"

"The current achievement level is not at odds with most of Li Yan's expectations, and the progress of the Industrial Revolution module has indeed reached 50%

But there was always a little accident, and Li Yan found that he seemed to have miscalculated!

Achievement level seems to be 6 points short of achievement experience!

The joy on Li Yan's face dissipated a little in an instant, and it didn't seem difficult to make up 6 points of achievement experience.

That castrated version of the Wizard mod seems to have an open-door achievement quest that is worth up to 15 achievement points, which is 15 achievement experience!
