Chapter 454: The Beginning of an Era

When Yang Hao heard that the initial success of the steam engine test had disappeared, he immediately wanted to look up to the sky and howl.

After several years of work, supported by the theory provided by himself, countless money was spent, and the long-cherished wish of many years was finally realized.

Put down all the work at hand, immediately let people prepare the car, and go to the Ministry of Engineering test site non-stop.

Less than an hour after the disappearance reached the palace, Yang Hao appeared in front of him.

Officials at the Ministry of Works were visibly alarmed.

Yang Hao didn't have the Ministry of Labor to talk nonsense with them, and after letting this person be exempted, he hurriedly asked, "What about the machine?" Where is it! ”

Kong Shilang said: "Back to the king, this thing is too heavy and noisy, and it has been placed in the backyard. ”

"Good! Lead the way! ”

"No!"

Saying that, Kong Shilang also led the way in front with an excited face.

He knew that this time seemed to be the key to determining his future career, and he kept praying in his heart that there would be no mistakes in the iron lump.

When Yang Hao saw this strange-looking steam engine, he connected to a few good words.

"Kong Shilang, let this guy move quickly, let this king see."

"King! Although this steam engine has passed the test, the minister does not dare to guarantee that there is no danger, if this thing is explosively powerful, it is better for the king to watch from a distance. ”

Kong Shilang said.

Yang Hao nodded, although he was excited, he was not arrogant enough to put himself in danger.

Honestly retreat to a safe place and watch the craftsmen busy.

The steam engine in front of him looks very much like a boiler commonly used in later generations, but there are more various parts in front of him.

As the fire burns more and more, there is already water vapor at the valve.

Slowly, with the sound of beeps, Yang Hao saw that the delicate connecting rod structure began to move regularly.

At this moment, Yang Hao watched this scene intently, and it was difficult to calm down in his heart.

If it is said that bringing back primitive high-yield farming from the Americas has improved the agriculture of Qi country, then this guy in front of him will lead Qi country's industry to take off rapidly.

A steam engine with full horsepower will liberate countless available labor, especially in the case of the sparse population of Qi country, the role of the steam engine will be more prominent.

The connecting rod drove the turntable to rotate faster and faster, seeing this, Yang Hao knew that all this was really not a dream, it really happened in front of him.

He called Kong Shilang and praised him, and asked what kind of improvements had been made to the steam engine.

After all, he only gave them the machine, which could barely be called a toy, and then he rarely asked, his understanding of the steam engine was limited to theory, the specific details were not clear, and the busy state affairs did not allow him to devote all his energy to these inventions.

To achieve the level of efficiency that we have today must have been a huge improvement.

Kong Shilang's words are very complicated, but Yang Hao's comprehension ability is not weak, and combined with his own knowledge, he quickly figured out what he was wrong with at the beginning.

The steam engine he made was just a simple model, blowing something like a windmill with steam and rotating with its blades.

Today's steam engine is completely different from the one he made before, except for the steam used, these officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry have added a lot of things, thickened the boiler, made an insulation layer, added pistons, in short, the step of converting heat energy into kinetic energy has been greatly changed.

"Smart people exist in all ages!"

Yang Hao was very emotional in his heart, if he was to change places, he asked himself if he would not rely on his superficial knowledge of physics and a simple model to make such a steam engine.

But he also knows that the reason why Kong Shilang and others can succeed is not only because of their good IQ, but also because they spare no effort to support them.

Whether it is the inventor or improver of the steam engine in later generations, there is absolutely no such condition as Kong Shilang.

Yang Hao is completely called the research and development of steam engines with the strength of the whole country.

It's not easy to come up with a barely usable version in a few years.

Years of investment will soon pay off.

Yang Hao was very happy, and immediately canonized Kong Shilang as a male from Sanpin County, and obtained an extremely precious knighthood in the Qi Kingdom.

In the more than 20 years since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, there are less than two people who have been knighted, so you can imagine how difficult it is to obtain this title.

This result completely exceeded Kong Shilang's best expectations, and he hurriedly paid homage to Yang Hao, and lost weight and waited for words of loyalty.

As for the rest of those who participated in the construction of the steam engine, they were rewarded according to the merit of the merit.

Even the ordinary craftsmen who do chores here have received a large amount of rewards, which is enough for the family to have food and clothing for a year.

The knighthood is not a trivial matter, although Yang Hao said it personally, but it still needs the Ministry of Rites to confirm the merits of the knight, and propose it at the court meeting, and the ministers will discuss it, if there is no sufficient reason to veto it at this time, it will be considered complete.

Yang Hao encouraged everyone and asked them to make persistent efforts, although this steam engine was running well, but after Yang Hao watched it for more than half an hour, he determined that this thing could not be used on the train.

However, since he has achieved this step, Yang Hao believes that if he gives these people some time, he will definitely be able to make a strong locomotive come out.

Although the big guy in front of him can't be used to pull a car, it doesn't mean that this thing has no practical value at all.

With the ability of this steam engine, it is extremely useful for prevention, smelting, and mining.

A few days later, the court meeting, the matter of Kong Shilang's knighthood, was stillborn in the opposition of the ministers, no one knows what the steam engine is for, and Yang Hao can't say that it is of great use, and it will be of great use.

Yang Hao had no choice but to put the matter down for the time being, and made an agreement with the minister, after half a year, if he still felt that the steam engine made by Kong Shilang was useless, then he, the king, had nothing to say.

Since Yang Hao took a step back, most of the ministers in the court were people who knew how to advance and retreat, and agreed to Yang Hao's proposal.

Watching the cooked duck fly, although Kong Shilang was resentful of these opponents, he was helpless.

"A group of dogs, half a year later, see which of you can still say a word, more than four years of hard work, my more than four years of hard work are here, why are you? What do you know? ”

Kong Shilang roared inwardly.

Yang Hao ordered the production of three usable steam engines, which would be used for steel smelting, and he wanted to see if the efficiency of using steam could be compared to water power.

With the advent of the steam engine, Yang Hao is more confident in the future, as long as the Qi country continues to develop step by step, the civilization created by himself, as long as it is not hit by the weft reduction, it can be regarded as a firm foothold in this world.

The clouds of nomads, in this time and space in China, may be strangled by themselves in the state of fertilized eggs.

"Maybe there will be more civilizations in the north that can sing and dance!"

Looking at the north, the corners of Yang Hao's mouth curled.
