"Sell Newspaper~Sell Newspaper~"

"Jingcheng Machinery Factory manufactures a steam engine harvester, which can harvest thousands of acres of wheat fields in one day~"

The next morning, with the rising sun, the beginning of a new day, the streets and alleys of the capital, the voice of the newsboy sounded again, immediately attracted the attention of the people who had been waiting for the newspaper buyers, and soon, a large number of newspaper buyers gathered around the newsboys, and a newspaper appeared in the hands of the old and young masters in the capital at the fastest speed.

"The Age of Steam?"

The old and young masters of the capital who got the newspaper naturally looked at the headline of the newspaper first, and there were four big characters written on it, Steam Times.

"What steam age?"

Everyone's mind is full of doubts, steam?

Can it also become an era?

The Ming Morning Post must have a deep meaning when it writes like this, and the headlines of the Ming Morning Post every day are all major events, major events that have a far-reaching impact on the whole country.

But can steam become an era?

What era will steam be composed of?

Everyone's minds were full of questions, and with such doubts, they quickly looked down.

The Ming Morning Post reported in detail at a very long length that the steam engine developed by the Beijing Machinery Factory used water vapor to generate power and promote the rotation of the machinery, so as to obtain strong power.

At the same time, it also talked about an extremely important application field of the steam engine, that is, the agricultural field.

Now the north and south of the Ming Dynasty have begun to enter the harvest season one after another, because of the migration of a large number of people, it has also led to the population of some local provinces to become smaller, and the newly incorporated areas of the Ming Dynasty are vast and sparsely populated, and there is too much land to cultivate, so that manpower is in short supply.

The emergence of the steam harvester can be regarded as conforming to the development of the trend of the times, which greatly improves the speed and efficiency of harvesting.

"Such a small steam engine has the power of five or six cows and horses?"

Some people looked at the data introduced in the newspaper, a little unbelievable, the emergence of the steam engine, but also brought thinking about how to calculate the power, after Liu Jin's suggestion, everyone also used the power of the horse as a reference, horsepower, horse became the unit of strength.

"And this steam harvester can harvest thousands of acres of wheat in a day?"

Some people look at what is written in the newspaper in disbelief, harvesting thousands of acres of wheat fields in a day, what a speed?

A person who has worked hard for a year can only manage a dozen acres of land, and hundreds of farmers are needed to cultivate these thousands of acres.

Now you're telling me that all I need is one machine?

"The cows are going to blow to the sky!"

"We only need to burn firewood and coal, and we don't need oxen to pull it to be able to walk, so when we cook, do we have to worry about the stove going away by itself?"

"Haha, yes, steam can also be used to harvest wheat, so why do you need farmers to work hard? Everybody drinks steam. ”

Some people kept laughing at it, thinking that it was simply impossible.

Burning wood can give power, and it can also make the iron lump walk on its own, and steam can harvest the wheat?

It's a ridiculous thing, and if you don't see it with your own eyes, who would believe it?

"It's true~"

"Yesterday the news spread."

"I didn't believe it at first, but then I went to see it myself, and there was a strange machine in the southern suburbs, in the wheat field of the Beijing Agricultural Commercial Bank, which burned the fire, emitted black smoke, and whined, but it could indeed harvest wheat, and the speed was indeed fast."

"In addition to harvesting wheat, it can also be used to plough the land, which is deep and fast, much faster than with cattle and horses."

Some people know the news, they have seen it with their own eyes, and they continue to sigh with the people around them.

"Didn't the newspaper say that this steam engine is very useful, it can not only be used to plough the land and harvest wheat, but also can be used to install it on the loom and loom, and then there is no need for water power or foot pedaling."

"It can also be used on boats, using a steam engine to drive the ship forward, and then you can save the sail design, and the speed can be faster, and even if there is no wind, you can walk, and you can go fast against the wind."

"In addition, it can be used on horse-drawn carts, so you don't need cows and horses at that time, and you can also pull the carriage to walk."

"Because it has so many uses and can be used in almost every aspect of our lives, it was only in the Ming Morning Post that it was born and named the age of steam."

"Because with the birth of the steam engine, our Ming Dynasty is about to enter a new era, that is, the steam age."

Since ancient times, there have been ignorant people, and naturally there are also people full of vision.

The advent of the steam engine, coupled with the report in the Ming Morning Post, also immediately made many people see the arrival of a new era.

Of course, here in the capital, more or to see the lively people, everyone soon knew that in the southern suburbs of the capital here in the wheat field there are the steam harvesters mentioned in the newspaper, for a while, the south gate of the capital here is full of traffic, out of the city to see the lively people are too many.

Wang Shouren went down to the morning court, originally wanted to go back and have a good rest, but after reading the Ming Morning News, he immediately hurried to the southern suburbs.

Lao Wang, who is knowledgeable about things, is also full of curiosity about new things.

Gewu Zhizhi, what is Gewu Zhizhi, and if you get rid of the bamboo, it will be considered Gewu?

What is the truth of this world?

Steam engine?

Steam harvester?

Wang Shouren believed that the Ming Morning Post would not deceive, but he wanted to see with his own eyes how the steam engine worked and how the wheat fields were harvested.

When Wang Shouren came to the southern suburbs of the wheat field, it was already crowded, and countless people who heard the news came to see the excitement around a large piece of wheat field to see where it was, and from time to time they also let out bursts of sighs.

In the middle of the wheat field, on top of a strange machine, someone is controlling this machine to constantly walk around the wheat field.

"Woo~Woo~"

A whistle sounded, and a puff of black smoke came out of the strange machine.

In the roar of the machine, along with the advance of the machine, the wheat field slowly disappeared, the wheat stalks were spread evenly in the field, and the wheat was packed in bags and placed in the wheat field.

A large field of wheat, the machine just kept moving back and forth, and it was quickly harvested.

"Haha, the steam harvester I invented is amazing, right?"

On the steam harvester, Zhu Hou looked at the crowds of people eating melons around him, and shouted very excitedly.

His steam harvester yesterday shocked Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, and Emperor Hongzhi felt incredible, but he had to admit that this steam harvester was important to agriculture.

With this thing, harvesting wheat and plowing the land became extremely easy in the future, which was of extraordinary significance to the feudal dynasty that attached great importance to agriculture.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Wang Shouren's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at the person on the steam harvester, who turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Awesome~Awesome~"

"This machine is so powerful, with this machine, it will be very easy to harvest wheat in the future."

"It's not, you only need to burn firewood and coal, and Zhuge Liang's wooden oxen and flowing horses are not very powerful."

Watching the lively melon-eating crowd constantly discuss excitedly, the steam harvester, the machine that can walk, move, and harvest wheat is incredible.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I'm afraid no one would have believed all this.

"Haha, of course, the machine I researched is naturally very powerful."

Zhu Houzhao heard the sounds around him, and he was even more happy and proud.

I saw it slowly drive itself out of the wheat field and onto the road.

"Unload the harvester, I'm going to drive the steam engine into the city."

Zhu Houzhao instructed the engineer of the Beijing Machinery Factory.

"That's not good, is it?"

Someone thought about it and said.

"What's so bad about such a great invention should let more people know about it and see it."

At this time, Zhu Houzhao wished that everyone in the world knew about this steam engine, although he did not make this steam engine, but he felt that he also had credit for the manufacture of this steam engine.

There was no way, Zhu Houzhao's words still had to be listened to, and soon someone disassembled the parts of the harvester, leaving only a part of a steam engine.

"Let's go~"

Zhu Houzhao excitedly controlled the steam locomotive, accompanied by the rolling white steam constantly coming out, the whistle sounded, and the steam locomotive slowly drove in the direction of the capital.

On both sides of the road, countless people who watched the excitement of eating melons followed one after another, and they sighed in surprise while watching.

It doesn't need to be pulled by people, and it doesn't need cows and horses, it only needs to burn firewood and coal to walk on its own, although this speed is very slow, and it is about the same as normal walking, but this is also an extremely remarkable thing.

Legend has it that Zhuge Liang researched the wooden ox and flowing horse, which is automatic without wind and can walk on its own without eating grass, and everyone does not believe that there is such a thing.

But now, it seems that there really is, and the steam locomotive in front of me is like this, it is moving, and there are three people sitting on the steam locomotive.

Well, one is responsible for adding firewood and coal to it, Zhu Houzhao is responsible for control, and the other is responsible for Zhu Houzhao's safety.

"Woo~"

With the sound of a whistle, the steam locomotive slowly drove towards the capital, and all of a sudden, the entire capital was empty, and everywhere the steam car went, both men, women and children were crowded to both sides of the road, looking at the steam locomotive walking slowly on the road.

Just like a few years ago, when everyone saw a whale for the first time, everyone was very curious, looking at the steam locomotive in front of them, and was amazed.
