Chapter 179: The Age of Steam
In the evening, the dining hall of Jingshi University Hall is brightly lit, and the long table is filled with sumptuous pig-killing dishes, as well as a jar of rice wine and rice wine.
Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing, Sun Yuanhua, and other bigwigs in the Ming scientific community were all present.
The West French people also put down their research and came to the hall of Beijing Normal University to watch the legendary second-generation steam engine.
The second generation of steam engines heralded the arrival of the industrial age.
At the end of the banquet, Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing, Sun Yuanhua and others came to the No. 0 independent courtyard again, looking at the second-generation steam engine quietly placed there.
Xu Guangqi's age is getting older and older, he is seventy years old this year, his body bones are gradually failing, and he walks over tremblingly with crutches, and he is in tears.
Xu Guangqi, who was full of tears, stroked the streamlined surface of the second-generation steam engine, and muttered: "I am Daming." ”
"ZTE is hopeful, ZTE is hopeful."
"The old man can see the arrival of this industrial age with his own eyes, and he can be regarded as dying without regrets."
Sun Yuanhua, who gradually grew gray hair on his head, wiped his eyes, walked over to support his teacher and said: "What is the teacher talking about, what is not dead, the teacher can at least live to the complete completion of industrialization." ”
"Didn't Zhu Xiaozi say, the next step is to make steel and refined coal, and steel and coal are the foundation of industrialization."
"Zhu Xiaozi is still waiting for your old man to invent a new type of machinery for iron-making, as well as a new type of machinery for refining coal."
Wang Zheng slapped Xu Guangqi's shoulder from behind, and Zhu Shun's eyelids jumped when he saw it, he was really afraid that he would shoot the number one boss of the Ming scientist to death.
Wang Zheng also seemed to feel that he was not doing this well, smiled awkwardly, and quickly patted Xu Guangqi lightly twice: "Old Xu, what do you kid say that you can't die, what's the matter, if you are a secretary of the Ministry of Industry, you feel that you are a half-immortal who can pinch and calculate." ”
When it came to the Ministry of Industry, Xu Guangqi's agitated mood was a lot lower, and he originally thought that sitting in the position of the Ministry of Industry could reverse the decay of the Ministry of Industry.
When he sat down, he realized that the decay of the court was not something he could change alone.
However, seeing the steam engine today, Xu Guangqi knew that he would not become Lu Fangweng.
I didn't see the Great Song Dynasty until I died, I recovered the rivers and mountains, left a family sacrifice without forgetting to tell Nai Weng, and buried it in the loess with the biggest regret in my life.
With this second-generation steam engine, Xu Guangqi has no regrets in his heart, and believes that in the near future, Daming will appear in a grand scene full of steam factories.
Steam plant, cement road, gas street lamp.
One by one, the same, everything in the steam age will be realized one by one.
Xu Guangqi thought about the scene of the steam age described by Zhu Shun, and Xu Guangqi, who had never taken death seriously, suddenly didn't want to die.
He really wanted to take a look, the steam age of the Ming Dynasty.
Just one glance is enough.
After settling down, Xu Guangqi turned around and glared at Wang Zheng, and said in a depressed mood: "You old boy is lucky, ten years younger than the old man, it is estimated that it will be the day when you can see the completion of the first industrial revolution of the Ming Dynasty." ”
Wang Zheng smiled and stopped talking, feeling extremely happy.
In this life, nothing can compare to Xu Guangqi, as an official, the other party is already a very popular minister, and he has taken off one of the six most powerful official hats in the world.
In terms of reputation, the other party is the first person in the Daming West Law Realm, and he is only the first person in the Ming West Law Mechanical Circle, two more words, the meaning is different.
In terms of teaching the Tao, the other party's disciple is already a Langzhong, and there is a faint possibility of becoming a waiter, his own disciple has been working all his life and is just an ambassador, if there is no Zhu Shun, he can't even be a master.
Wang Zheng has lost all his life, and he regrets it for a lifetime, thinking that it is impossible to win Xu Guangqi again in this life.
However, from today onwards, it is exactly as Xu Guangqi said.
Wang Zheng won.
Just by witnessing the beginning of the first industrial revolution of the Ming Dynasty, until the complete completion of the steam age.
This alone is enough for Wang Zheng to win everything.
What are the six most powerful official hats in the world, what is the first person in the Ming Dynasty and Western Law Realm, and what is a good apprentice.
In front of witnessing the Daming steam era, it is not worth mentioning, and I have no regrets in my life.
Xu Guangqi also has no regrets, he is better than Wang Zheng in all aspects, he has already looked down on winning and losing, and the only regret is that he can't see Daming's Zhongxing with his own eyes.
With this second-generation steam engine, the only regret is made up.
Liaodong, Shenyang.
After the vigorous construction of the Jurchen Firearms Bureau by Tang Ruowang, Huang Taiji sprinkled a lot of silver, and there were many talents, recruiting many Western scientists.
Luo Yagu, Long Huamin, and Guo Jujing are all well-known figures in the Western scientific community, but these big figures in the sub-scientific community don't do their business all day long, just thinking about preaching.
No one sat in the Jurchen Firearms Bureau, engaged in research in a down-to-earth manner, held a silver cross all day long, wandered around, and fooled the Jurchens into believing in God.
In order to convert the Jurchens to Catholicism, the Europaans such as John Tong and Roya Valley planned for a long time, and decided to use a miracle to win more believers for God.
This miracle is the pressure well, in order to study this thing, John Tang and others have spent a lot of effort to study it, and of course they have to use it to win believers for God.
On the outskirts of Shenyang City, John Tang attracted a lot of people from Liaodong at the price of sending half a catty of round wheat as long as he came over, basically Han people who lived extremely hard.
I heard that someone was distributing food, and it blew up in an instant, and in just a few days, tens of thousands of people gathered, and all the families and children came to receive food.
Tang Ruowang didn't expect to come back so many Far Easterners, and the food prepared was not enough at all, so he moved back and forth three times, and all the food deceived from the Jurchen nobles was moved, barely enough.
However, looking at the ordinary people all over the mountains, John Tang drew a cross on his chest with satisfaction and recited a sentence of thanks to the Lord for his blessing.
The time was almost up, and John Tang recited a sentence of thanks, and walked to the pressure well under the excited eyes of the Europa people such as Long Huamin of Luoya Valley: "The gods of the Far East. ”
"Yesterday I dreamed of the Lord's gift, saying that water would come out of this iron pipe."
"Come, people of God, pray with me and thank the Lord for His gifts."
Tang Ruowang waited for a while, but he didn't see anyone praying, just stared at him with wide eyes, as if he was watching a monkey.
There is also a voice, but it is a child who snorts.
In order to hide his embarrassment, Tang Ruowang could only press the handle hard, but after pressing it for a long time, he couldn't press out a drop of water.
Tang Ruowang only thought about performing miracles, and forgot one thing, this is Liaodong, the climate is cold, and the iron pipe is frozen even if there is water.
Tang Ruowang's face turned red on the spot, and he desperately pressed the handle, but no matter how he pressed it, no water came out.
It's even more embarrassing.
At this time, someone spoke, and the people of Europa, such as John Tong, Royagu, thought that someone was going to pray, and quickly looked over.
A strong Liaodong woman specially lowered her voice to speak, but with her loud voice, even if she was lowered, it was louder than the shouts of ordinary people.
"Dad, this Rakshasa can't be a fool, don't you know that the pipe will freeze in winter."
The thin man next to him was touching half a catty of round wheat over and over again, and when he heard his wife's question, he said impatiently: "Whatever he does, has the round wheat arrived?" ”
The thin man looked at his strong wife with round eyes, knowing that he had a bad breath and angered his wife, so he sneered: "Then let's go back?" ”
The strong wife nodded with satisfaction, dragged a child, and shouted, "Fourth, six, nine, hurry home." ”
After saying this, the crowd resounded with shouts one after another, and tens of thousands of ordinary people retreated like a tide.
Leave empty dirt behind.
