Yu Zhiqian watched the wheat hurriedly poured into the grinding plate, and then excitedly pulled the old seven who he was watching, and he couldn't bear to interrupt his performance, so he could only watch the old seven pour the wheat into it.

"Big brother, it's time to witness the miracle soon, you don't need people, just use this machine, you can easily grind wheat into flour!" As he spoke, he looked excitedly at the wheat that had been crushed into flour.

"Old Seven!"

Yu Zhiqian looked at the little excited Lao Qi, and couldn't bear to interrupt him, Lao Qi was still a child!

"Big brother, how's it going? How about the machine I invented? ”

Yu Zhiqian nodded, the machine is good, but do you know that this machine is not necessarily used to grind flour, but can also be used to make other things! ”

After hearing this, Lao Qi nodded seriously, and then his eyes lit up: "What the eldest brother said is that this can not only be used to make flour, but also can be used to extract oil, the oil press you invented is too laborious, if you use this machine, it will be much easier!" ”

After Lao Qi finished speaking, he excitedly surrounded the machine, carefully thinking about how to transform this steam engine into a qualified oil press.

“……”

Yu Zhiqian patted his forehead, Lao Qi's science and technology tree is a little crooked, if he doesn't forcibly break it back, he may invent something strange.

"Big brother, what's wrong? Could it be that the little brother is wrong? ”

"Well, there is nothing wrong in the general direction, the tool is to increase labor efficiency and free your hands, but have you ever thought that you can make the volume of this steam engine a little smaller, and then increase the power conversion of this steam engine, you see that now you have burned so many things, this mechanical arm is so slow!"

Lao Qi nodded, looked at the steam engine and began to think, Yu Zhiqian was also recalling some knowledge about the steam engine in junior high school in his mind, and finally held back a few words after thinking for a long time: "You can add a piston to the steam engine, use the principle of leverage, and add a coupling ......"

Yu Zhiqian roughly talked about his ideas, Lao Qi also followed Yu Zhiqian to class in Tsinghua Park every day, and he also knew a lot of physics knowledge, and even sometimes he groped for more things than Yu Zhiqian knew, and finally Yu Zhiqian didn't let him ask questions in class.

"Big brother, you are really a genius!" Lao Qi was a little excited when he heard what Yu Zhiqian said, and immediately rushed back to his room, took out the paper and started to get busy.

"Big brother, you're going to tell me more!"

Lao Qi held a charcoal pen in his hand and asked Yu Zhiqian with a sincere face, Yu Zhiqian patted his forehead and drew it simply, Yu Zhiqian remembered the general appearance, but it was basically impossible for Yu Zhiqian to draw very carefully.

However, the old seven next to him is now considered a civil science, and after Yu Zhiqian drew a rough idea, this guy should be able to understand that sometimes invention and creation are instantaneous, as long as you suddenly understand one of the things, the remaining difficulties will be solved.

Just like the steam engine in front of Lao Qi now, although the volume is a little large, the power is very low, and it looks stupid, but if the rails are paved, it may be the most primitive train, maybe there can only be a locomotive, maybe because the quality of the iron is not up to par, it may burst the boiler!

However, compared to the shock caused by the birth of a vehicle without any power and the extended meaning, it is completely negligible.

Now Yu Zhiqian has begun to think in his heart, should he start laying a section of railway, and then let Lao Qi invent a locomotive and perform it?

But soon Yu Zhiqian drove this idea out of his mind, it was too crazy, now the entire Yutang Empire is short of iron, it is impossible to take out iron to build a railway, and the iron used to build rails may not be able to be refined now, even if the cost of refining it is very high, in a word, the time is not yet ripe.

"How? Can you do it? ”

Lao Qi looked at the sketch in his hand, kept adding some comparisons to it, and finally nodded, and shook his head again: "Big brother, according to what you said, it can indeed succeed, but there is another problem, that is, the volume cannot be reduced!" ”

"Really?"

"Big brother, here is the boiler, here is the power room, according to your requirements, you need to ......"

Lao Qi said a lot to Yu Zhiqian, Yu Zhiqian was a little suspicious, he was an ancient person, and finally Yu Zhiqian roughly understood what Lao Qi meant, and nodded slowly: "Lao Qi, have you ever thought about transferring this steam engine to the ship!" ”

"On board!"

Lao Qi looked at Yu Zhiqian with some incomprehension, not knowing what Yu Zhiqian meant by this.

"You see, ships nowadays rely on the wind, so wherever they go, they have to rely on the monsoon, but the steam engine can lift a certain amount of power, and when there is no wind, the ship can ......."

After hearing Yu Zhiqian's introduction, Lao Qi's eyes lit up: "How did I forget this, Zhou Yu said to me before, big brother, let me think about it, think about it!" ”

Lao Qi said while drawing again, this time it was a bit long, Yu Zhiqian watched Lao Qi keep drawing on the paper, there is one thing to say, Lao Qi's painting skills are not bad, Yu Zhiqian can clearly see that this guy drew a ship, and then began to sketch in detail.

"Big brother, if it is loaded on a ship, it can't be the current building ship or ship, because these ships are ......"

Yu Zhiqian nodded: "This kind of ship is easy to capsize after entering the sea, you can design the boat like this, without a pointed bottom, and you can build an ironclad ship!" ”

Hearing Yu Zhiqian say that he wanted to build an ironclad ship, Lao Qi looked at Yu Zhiqian with suspicion: "Big brother, didn't you say that if the density of the object is greater than the density of water, it will sink into the water, and the density of iron ......"

"How do you say this, I will tell you about space, buoyancy and other knowledge in the future, I don't know much about my eldest brother, but I believe that eldest brother, the ironclad ship can float on the water, you can build an iron basin to try, and the iron basin can also float on the water!"

Hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, Lao Qi nodded in disbelief: "That's okay, big brother, I'll design it well, but the cost of shipbuilding is ......."

"Tobe out!"

Yu Zhiqian agreed without hesitation, joking, this kind of scientific research funds can never be deducted, if Lao Qi can get the steamship out, not to mention the Dongying Kingdom, it is still Europa in the barbaric era, Yu Zhiqian also plans to teach them to be human beings, let them know what is called the Heavenly Empire!

"Good!"

After Lao Qi finished speaking, he began to concentrate on research, as for Yu Zhiqian next to him, he was directly ignored by Lao Qi, Yu Zhiqian looked at Lao Qi who was talking to himself, and couldn't help but sound those scientists in later generations, it seems that Lao Qi has completely led himself crookedly, and in the future, Lao Qi's Baidu Encyclopedia is estimated to be the founder of modern science and technology?

After reading Lao Qi, Yu Zhiqian's matter was almost finished in one day today, and in the royal palace, several old Hanlin were already waiting for Yu Zhiqian, these are all old scholars who study the quotations of saints in the Hanlin Academy, and they are also legendary old antiques.

When Yu Zhiqian was young, he was also educated by some of them, and often said, or sage words, etc., the emperor took some Hanlin with him when he traveled, after all, the emperor also needs others to pat himself on the back and write some praises, these are the things that this group of Hanlin is best at.

Of course, these old men didn't go, it was completely because they were too old and they were afraid of dying on the road, so they stayed in Chang'an City, and Yu Zhiqian didn't plan to take care of them, just let them study quietly, but now because they want to pit Dongying people, Yu Zhiqian invited them out.

After receiving Yu Zhiqian's order, this group of old men was ecstatic, this group of people usually has two or three hobbies, one of them is to write articles for the emperor, and the second is to be a teacher, teach and educate people, but their students are either rich or expensive!

This time, I heard that the prince said that he was going to teach the Royal Academy, it was said that the specifications were bigger than Taixue, and there were some students from the vassal kingdom, without any hesitation, and immediately agreed, and even the salary prepared by Yu Zhiqian did not have time to say, and this group of old guys began to thank Yu Zhiqian.

On the second day, early in the morning, Yu Zhiqian was woken up by Zhao Gao, and Gao Shansui came.

Takayama prepared the silver very quickly, in order to prevent a long night dream, the silver was prepared on the same day, and as soon as the door of the workshop was opened early in the morning, he took someone to send the silver to the royal garden.

Gao Shansui's every move was under Yu Zhiqian's supervision, in fact, Yu Zhiqian had a little time and wanted to send someone to rob the Dongying people's silver, but considering that this is Chang'an City, the shadow of the bandits robbing the mission suddenly appeared, no matter how you look at it, it looks like someone did it deliberately, so Yu Zhiqian had to give up.

"Foreign Minister Gao Shan is old, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince Xie has mercy on my students......"

Yu Zhiqian waved his hand: "Don't thank me, Helang has already told you the rules?" Since you come to my Chang'an to study, you must abide by the rules of my Chang'an, and you must not violate the law and discipline, and you must not ......."

"The minister will ...... when he returns"

After seeing Gao Shansui, Yu Zhiqian also began to get busy, the list has been taken out and released, and the students should soon know that what they have to do now is to prepare textbooks, which are specially for the Dongying people and the group of students who ask for their lives for the people.

Next to the Tribute Courtyard.

Although it is still early in the morning, but at this time the gate of the Gongyuan is already crowded, students from all over the Yutang Empire have gathered together, waiting for the release of the list, although this year's exam questions are very strange, but after all, it is the national exam, all the candidates have a glimmer of hope, what if they win?

"Brother Bohu!"

"Brother Zhu!"

Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan also came over early, compared to Zhu Zhishan was a little apprehensive, Tang Bohu was still confident, although the three questions were a bit nondescript, but Tang Bohu felt that his answer was not a big problem, maybe he could still be ranked among the top three!

"Brother Li, you can be sure of this scientific expedition!"

Li Yang stood beside several companions, all of whom were students from Haizhou like Li Yang, and they were in a worried mood.

"Hey, the questions in this exam are a bit fanciful!" After Li Yang finished speaking, he shook his head, and the rest of the students also nodded.

"Brother Wang, what about you? You are the person with the best grades among us, and the teacher also thinks that you can pass the scientific examination! ”

There is also a fellow villager not far from Li Yang, but compared to Li Yang, this guy named Wang Hao is much more famous, although the name of Haizhou's first genius is not as good as Tang Bohu's Zhuzhishan Jiangnan Four Great Talents, but it is also a little famous.

This student named Wang Hao was surrounded by the people around him in the center, his head was slightly raised, a little arrogant, and after hearing the compliments around him, he slowly spoke: "Although the questions in this exam are a bit different, but we have to learn to live and learn, not to read to death, to read dead books, this time the exam questions......

"Brother Wang said well!"

"Brother Wang, this time you will definitely be able to be named on the gold list!"

“……”

A group of students chatting with each other, bragging and waiting for the release of the list, some people are worried, some people are confident, some people feel sorry for themselves, and the various states of the world are vividly interpreted at this moment.

After about half an hour, it was still lively in the distance, the forbidden army opened the way, the chamberlain of the East Palace walked in the middle of the road with the list in hand, and some people came over beating gongs and drums.

"The list is coming, the list is coming!"

"It's time to release the list!"

"No one asks about the cold window for ten years, just wait for this time to become famous in one fell swoop!"

"Brother is a great talent, no one asks after ten years of hard study, and he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop, this benevolent brother has your surname?"

"Go down again, brother?"

"Xie Jin!"

“……”

"Silence!"

When the waiter holding the list came to the door of the Gongyuan, he scolded loudly, and all the students around him immediately shut up, not daring to make a sound.

"In the first year of Shunchang, His Majesty Kaienke took the ......"

It is almost a few minutes after reading the content, which roughly means that this scientific examination is based on the principles of fairness, justice, and openness to reassure the people of the world, etc., and many students around have listened to this content many times, and some of the students who are mixed in the crowd are forty or fifty years old, and have participated in four or five scientific examinations, and this content can be memorized.

After reading the content, the chamberlain slowly walked to a wall in the tribute courtyard and began to release the list.

The first to be released is the third list, there are many people on this list, there are a total of ten pieces of paper, and there are twenty-four people on one paper, that is, two hundred and forty people, these people are the three list of jinshi according to the traditional saying, and most of these jinshi will become some small officials.

When the three lists were posted, many people stuck out their heads to check, hoping to find their names, but they were blocked by the forbidden army, and many people couldn't get by, so they could only watch from a distance.

Some people saw their names, carefully checked their origins, and immediately shouted excitedly.

"I'm in, I'm in, hahaha I'm in!"

"I'm in, I'm in, I'm in!"

However, the number of people with good eyes is a minority after all, and reading at night these years, even if it is a rich and noble family, it will leave the problem of myopia.

"The second list is out, the second list is out!"

Soon, the second list was also posted, the second list is a total of forty-seven people, belonging to the second list of jinshi, this group of people is generally the object of key training, generally thrown into the sixth department as a small official or into the Hanlin Academy, etc., after all, it will be easier to get ahead than the third list.

Li Yang has been staring at the list in the distance, his eyes are very good, after the list came out, he swept it quickly, the third list did not have his own name, his heart was a little cold, the second list was not, his heart was completely cold, he knew his level, it was impossible for him to be the top student in high school!

ps The Twelve Heavenly Kings actually don't have a military Heavenly King, I feel like I need to return to the military, and I'm ready to support the row!
