It was because the 'stamping and forging machine' was inadvertently made. So there has been no progress on the weapons front, though. But for the Ministry of Industry and the Imperial Court, it was an excellent event!

As long as this process is followed, as long as the Ministry of Industry prepares enough iron plates, it can quickly produce a large number of plate armor. If this continues, as long as the production capacity of the iron plate can keep up, then all the Datang soldiers will soon become heavy soldiers...... This combat power has increased greatly!

What is even more surprising is that after this stamping and forging machine was made. The researchers and craftsmen at the academy seem to be inspired and encouraged. Immediately following these people, they really broke through the technical difficulties that had been trapped for a long time. The steam engine was actually made.

It turns out that the reason why this steam engine has been failed is because of the material! I'll just say, these people can make generators and electric mechanisms by looking at the drawings. How can you still be stumped by the development of a steam engine with a crarder level of technology......

Now that I think about it, the main reason why this generator was able to be made smoothly was also due to the material problem. Because the people in the academy can't make the insulating material of enameled wire at all. Therefore, the copper wires that wrap the motor are all removed from other equipment in the mall! Therefore, this generator is not really a research imitation at all. It's made from existing materials...... And the material for this steam engine is completely out of stock in the mall. The hardest part is actually the material of the cylinder. In addition to the quality of the pipes, the main reason for the original failure was that the cylinder of the steam engine was prone to both air leakage and cylinder explosion. That's why it always fails.

That can be imagined, since this press was studied, especially after the discovery of stamped and forged armor by the Ministry of Industry. He forcibly requisitioned the stamping machine he had just researched to specialize in making armor. As a result, in this process, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Engineering, especially the blacksmiths, magically combined the techniques of stamping and forging steel by hand. Then the technology of 'cold rolling' and 'hot rolling' was magically discovered......

I've never even heard of these two techniques before. But the two girls, Mandarin and Duck, have read all the books in the mall! Therefore, these two people actually found the names to describe these two technologies from a book of 'dictionaries'.

In addition, after the craftsman discovered the process of 'cold rolling and hot rolling', he used this technology to directly make steel of different materials twice, and then ...... After the researchers at the academy used this material, they easily built the steam engine that had been trapping them all along. Everyone was really stunned!

What's more, after the people in the Ministry of Industry discovered this technology, they attached great importance to it...... Anyway, I really want to compliment these people for their good vision.

Then the Ministry of Industry set up a special department, and after ordering a few stamping machines at a high price from the college, the craftsmen of the new department began to study the technology of alloys...... When they said the word 'alloy', I was really stunned! I wonder if another time-traveler has arrived? Otherwise, how could this later word appear!

However, when I visited it, I realized that this 'alloy' was a real 'alloy'! The first material they worked on was actually a combination of gold and silver and bronze using 'hot or cold rolling' techniques. It has become a real 'gold'!

It's just that what is the use of this thing after it has been studied? In addition to wasting precious metals?

I had to make a general mention of it, and specifically mentioned that alloys can actually appear stronger 'alloy steel' or more tough, spring-like materials. To do this, I also took out a high-elasticity spring, an aluminum alloy plate, and an alloy dagger from an outdoor counter. When this thing was handed over to the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works, they were all stunned! In particular, the spring that returns to its original shape no matter how you pull it, and the particularly strong alloy dagger...... Anyway, the craftsmen have already begun to figure out how to mix the metal in different proportions......

In fact, for the research of this alloy material, I am in favor of it with both hands. After all, I want the technology of this era to really develop like a 'leap'. Then it is indispensable to use materials everywhere! Not to mention anything else, it was the originally very simple steam engine, but because of the material problem, the researchers of the academy have been trapped for a long time!

Therefore, in addition to the spontaneous research of the Ministry of Industry, I actually want to gather a group of craftsmen, especially blacksmiths. Then research work on this material is also carried out in the Academy.

But there is still a shortage of manpower, so I can only think about it and can't do it.

In addition, after the successful production of the steam engine, I arranged for these researchers to begin to study the working effect and power of the steam engine. Now we use hydropower. So even the installation of several power stations around the academy has particularly strengthened the flow of the artificial river. But even so, there has always been a big gap in the power supply of the entire college! The power of hydroelectric power is simply too low. Although it is very environmentally friendly.

So when the steam engine was developed, my first plan was to think about how to make a large steam engine with more powerful power, and then use it to power the generator! Although the steam engine burns coal very polluting the environment. But when connected to a generator, the power of this thing is hundreds of times more powerful than hydropower!

Of course, today's steam engines are not the power of steam turbines. It's the pull-out wheel power of an old-fashioned train. However, in this case, although the noise is extremely amazing, the driving power is also very large. Especially after these craftsmen, under my guidance, finally built a steam engine that was larger than a small two-story building. The generator powered by this steam engine generated enough electricity for everyone in the entire academy to use at the same time.

In addition, the larger steam engine also brought the use of the steam engine as the power, the more powerful stamping and forging machine came out. Although the stamping machine changed from electricity as power to steam engine as power, it is a serious technological regression. But this also makes the power and efficiency of the new press increase dozens of times! It's not that electrodynamic stamping machines are bad. But in this day and age, it's still a bigger machine that can bring more power!

This was done with a more powerful press, which soon forged stronger steel. The stamped cylinders are also more robust. Combined with a machine tool with more power, these researchers were able to build a steam locomotive without me noticing! Not a steam train, but a car powered by a steam engine...... This is really an invention made out of thin air!

After all, there are no such rough vehicles in the mall. And it looks like there's a bit of the style of a mechanical punk cartoon...... I wondered if I should show these researchers a technopunk-style movie? Number Six

"I remember watching "Hurricane Warriors" a while ago, and it was good!" I muttered to myself.

I was happy to go to the mall to celebrate the movie when I found out that the steam engine had been made. As a result, the girl was probably also affected, so she turned out such a mechanical punk-style film from the movie. I'm really addicted to it!

Now that I think about it, maybe if this movie is shown to researchers, will these people go astray, and then build and invent a bunch of real mechanical punk-style creations! That thing has been scientifically proven, and in addition to looking beautiful, it is not as practical as electricity! If you accidentally click on the wrong skill tree when the time comes for Datang to develop science and technology, what kind of impact will it be on the future generations?

After much hesitation, I gave up on this plan. It's just a little bit in my heart.

However, after the appearance of this steam locomotive, it gave me a good inspiration...... Although the practicality of the steam locomotive was extremely poor. But if you transform it, rebuild this car-like steam locomotive, and then remake it into a steam locomotive~ the practicality will be greatly increased!

After thinking of this, I deliberately went to the mall to look for a long time. However, the only pity is that the mall does not have a structural plan for the steam train. But there are a lot of toy models of steam locomotives and railroad tracks. So when I came up with a set of steam train toys. These researchers were really inspired......

Then, a bunch of people went to study the steam train...... Originally, there were only three or four people who made steam cars. Now there are more than a dozen researchers and craftsmen at once. I suddenly found that the institute was understaffed with researchers. Even these researchers have even put aside the things they are supposed to do every day to learn and teach......

Now I have noticed that since the work of researchers has really improved, these people have stopped learning textbooks at all, and they are not continuing to lecture to the students of the college. There are only 11 sects left who are still teaching students...... I don't even know if these people will bring the students into those sects after such a long time......

Fortunately, when I went to the academy for a whole day, I realized that the students were probably influenced by the researchers, that is, their former teachers. Although most people are now studying the knowledge in the textbooks on their own, and a small amount of other knowledge that is specially taught by those schools.

However, the students are probably influenced by the new work of the researchers, and they are not thinking about joining a certain sect at all, but are bent on becoming a real researcher, and then making and inventing those magical devices!

It seems that after the successful research of new technology, it can really attract the attention of many people.

In addition, the people of those sects are no longer thinking about poaching people and adding 'fresh blood' to their sects! Presumably also influenced by the new results. In particular, after the people of these schools of thought found that the researchers were learning exactly the same knowledge as the students, they began to study the textbooks diligently. Even if they were originally knowledgeable, they don't teach more with students anymore!

It seems that after the results were achieved, even those people from the ancient sect were attracted.

It's a pity that the research grounds of the academy are firmly guarded by the people of the imperial court. So those people can only see the finished product, but they can't participate in the research.

However, the convenience of the imperial court is also very discerning. Since the stamping and forging machine was made and passed on to the Ministry of Industry, the imperial court sent a whole army over and directly surrounded the entire courtyard of the research site. Except for the people from the Ministry of Engineering, researchers, and craftsmen, even the students of the academy are not allowed to enter this courtyard!

It seems that after these achievements appeared, the imperial court really attached great importance to them. In this way, at least the more attention the imperial court attaches to it, the more attention the world will pay to the academy, so that more talents can be attracted to come! I'm desperately short of manpower right now! Obviously, there are not enough researchers, but now they are divided into several different groups to work on different projects, which makes it even more understaffed!

"Alas! Those students will have to wait ten years before they can be useful! It's just that I didn't expect the research speed of these researchers to be getting faster and faster! I sighed again.

However, if you recruit people directly from the outside world, it will not be so easy, at least you need to train for a long time, and you have to work for these researchers for a long time, maybe you can get 'fresh blood' to join the team of researchers. In other words, these original researchers were able to study and produce results in such a short period of time. Actually, this was also unexpected! I originally thought it would be a few years before a few practical people could emerge and then research and replicate necessities like generators. Who would have thought that these people would progress and research so quickly!

On the other hand, I heard that the newly established department of the Ministry of Industry, the one that specializes in alloys, is not doing well at the moment. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry went to His Majesty the Emperor to complain, and wanted to seconded some of the researchers of the academy to help there...... Anyway, I'm still understaffed here! How can this be done?

It's just that the unexpected happened again. When the researchers at the academy magnified the toy train several times and actually built a circle of small railroad tracks. When the 'steam engine car' with only the wheels replaced was put on the small railroad tracks and ran around, this scene was discovered by the eleven sects...... It's not that these people are running around to peek. It was just because the researchers didn't think it was a secret thing, so they installed an enlarged model of the rails on a small playground in the academy!

And then they found out!
