In the next few days, the Zhao family's father and son, Master Tian and other professionals, followed the magic, all day around the steam engine that had been blown into a pile of scrap iron, they were very obsessed, and the whole operating principle of the steam engine was also clear to them, they were arguing about how to improve it next to this waste heap, while drawing and studying.

Qin Yiming was also dragged to the side, in fact, Qin Yiming is very happy to see the curiosity of these Ming people about this new thing, although he is a traverser, but after all, he is a person, if China wants not to be surpassed by the West, I am afraid it will not work to rely on him as a traverser, or to rely on these Ming Han people, what he should do most is not to try to invent everything he knows, but to guide these Ming people to think by themselves, to invent by themselves, as long as such an atmosphere is formed, China has hope, Just like when Qin Yiming came to Pingli Fort at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty and changed the atmosphere of Pingli Fort, now Pingli Fort is not only a guard soldier, but also a farmer, all of them are brave and ruthless, and their physical fitness is much stronger than before.

"The reason why I watched the machine explode is that there is too much water vapor in it, just like the human body, it also needs yin and yang coordination, otherwise people will get sick, and this machine is the same, there is too much water vapor in it, the power is too great, even the iron cylinder will be burst!" Old man Zhao touched his beard and thought on the side.

"What Mr. Zhao said is very true, people have to pull it out when they eat it, and the same is true for this steam engine, as long as there is steam intake, there must be steam out. And this boiler also needs to maintain a constant pressure, otherwise the boiler will explode! Master Tian added.

"Well, maybe we can reserve a small hole on this side of the boiler to let the boiler deflat, and so does this cylinder, so that it won't explode!"

"No, no, no, if you leave a small hole, the pressure inside is not enough, can this flywheel still rotate?"

"......" and several people began to argue again.

Qin Yiming sat on the side and sipped tea, while Song Xiance smoked dry cigarettes, while carefully blowing his burned hands, bored.

"Lord Qin, do you want to tell me if my method is feasible, this boiler must reserve a small hole, otherwise it will explode again, otherwise there is no other way!" Master Shan stepped forward to ask for help, hoping to get support.

"Absolutely not!" Master Tian said.

Everyone looked at Qin Yiming, Qin Yiming was helpless, put down the teacup and said: "Everyone, I will lead the army to fight, not everything, so let's try any ideas you have first, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth!" But what you said makes sense, if you don't leave a hole to relieve pressure, the boiler will be exploded, and the pressure in the boiler may not be enough, or you can make such a mechanism, when the boiler reaches a certain pressure, this mechanism will automatically open, so that the boiler will automatically relieve pressure and not explode! ”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly woke up and applauded loudly!

"It's still Lord Qin's thoughtfulness!"

"That's right, Lord Qin's words will give us decades of utopia!"

Qin Yiming was not in good spirits, even after drinking tea, he still felt sleepy, so he said, "You guys can study it yourself, I'll rest for a while." ”

Song Xiance saw that Qin Yiming's eyes were red, his spirit was sluggish, and he was obviously sleep-deprived, so he asked, "Qin Mangfu, what's wrong?" Can't sleep without the wife in the house? ”

Qin Yiming sighed, but he didn't rest well, he knew that there were many disasters in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and there was a rare heavy snow this year, will there be another big drought next year, after all, the unlucky Emperor Chongzhen really could encounter any unlucky thing.

Under the effect of this kind of mental suggestion, for three nights in a row, Qin Yiming dreamed of the terrible scene of the Yellow River bottoming out, thousands of miles of red land, and countless victims.

"Hey, it's nothing, I always have nightmares, I dream that the water of the Yellow River is gone, and there are victims everywhere!"

Song Xiance swallowed a cigarette, two pillars of smoke came out of his two nostrils, waved his scalded hand and muttered, "This Yellow River is gone?" No water in the river? ”

"Yes, if this dream comes true, my people will have to suffer again!" Qin Yiming was worried, and took a sip of tea to refresh himself.

Song Xiance seemed to forget that his hand was injured, and slammed the table, so frightened that Qin Yiming's teacup almost fell to the ground.

"What a dream, what a dream!"

"Song Shenzhu, did you take the wrong medicine? Is it a good dream that the Yellow River has bottomed out and the earth is cracking? Don't tell me that dreams are the opposite, I'm not a three-year-old kid anymore! Qin Yiming disagreed, and even a little disdainful. If the Yellow River dries up, I don't know how many refugees there will be. This Song Xiance is simply inhumane!

"A good dream, it's definitely a good dream, the river has no water, Qin Mangfu, your wish can come true, if the old man didn't guess wrong, at this moment, the appointment of the governor of Huguang is probably already on the way!" Song Xiance completely forgot about the pain in his hands and was excited.

Looking at Song Xiance's serious energy, Qin Yiming was noncommittal, and he was suspicious in his heart, this magic stick relied on one mouth to eat all over the world, full of nonsense, not credible!

"Is it okay for the river to have no water? What and what! If we can become the governor of the capital this time, hehe, Song Shenguo, I will help you improve your tobacco pot in the future and invent a cigarette, that cigarette is much easier to smoke than your thing! Qin Yiming joked.

"Cigarettes? Good pumping? No matter what, as long as it's a cigarette, if it's really good to smoke, I'll follow you Song Xiance in my life, I'm afraid that you will deceive me, there are no tobacco leaves in this world that I haven't tasted in this big tobacco bag! Song Xiance said confidently.

"Then it's a deal!"

Within a few days, the improved version of the steam engine was baked, which really surprised Qin Yiming, the steam engine improved by these old masters really exceeded Qin Yiming's expectations, although these people were poisoned by the eight strands, but once they were given directions, they could release huge energy, this is just a few people, if you can recruit more people, I am afraid that the crystallization of wisdom will be more. This also gave Qin Yiming an idea, that is, to spend money to set up another department, the Scientific Research Bureau.

"The Scientific Research Bureau? What is the department and what are the responsibilities? Yang Jiuyi asked incomprehensibly.

"The Scientific Research Bureau is a place that specializes in the study of various miraculous skills, such as this steam engine, which needs to be continuously improved, but just a few of us, after all, intelligence and insights are very limited, so we need to gather more talents and concentrate everyone's wisdom. Not only this steam engine, but also our cannons, **, guns, etc., all need to be improved! ”

As soon as Qin Yiming said this, everyone can understand that to improve these things, it is necessary to gather the strengths of hundreds of schools and give full play to the wisdom of everyone.

"In the future, I will give a certain amount of silver to the Scientific Research Bureau every year as research and development expenses, as long as the personnel of the Scientific Research Bureau can come up with it, we will make it and try it, if we can't make it, we will hand it over to those rich businessmen to make, and we will give them silver!"

Qin Yiming fantasized that if this was the case, in the long run, there would be a military heavy industry in the Ming Dynasty sooner or later, of course, everything had to be done slowly.

"In short, whatever weapons the troops need in the future, let the Scientific Research Bureau develop what weapons, what the people need in their lives, and what they can use to let the Scientific Research Bureau develop something, we must not only improve our combat effectiveness, but also make money!"

As soon as Steward Hu heard the money, his eyes lit up, his arsenal was the most silver-consuming place, and the ** and pig iron consumed every day were expensive, if he could still make money, it would be great to dare to love.

"If this can really make money, then you will use it to buy more ** and pig iron in the future! But how do you make money? This firearm can't be taken out, it's a killer! ”

"Why can't you make money, didn't you buy a few machine tools from the last time Madame came to us?!"

Qin Yiming ignored the noise below, and continued: "I have some ideas here, once this scientific research bureau is established, first of all, these items will be established, one is to develop large-scale steelmaking, steel is the foundation of firearms, without good steel, the quality of those bird guns and artillery will not pass." ”

"It makes sense, this steel does matter! Not only bird guns, but also ordinary swords and armor all need this steel. Old man Zhao nodded, and everyone also nodded yes.

"The second one is**, to increase the power of **! Master Tian, you have to continue to work hard in this regard! Qin Yiming said.

"Yes, my lord, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

"There are also logistical materials, such as the development of some quality food, cement, glass, etc., ......"

The more I talk about the back, the more we don't understand. What cement, glass, etc., I don't know what it is, they just listen.

Qin Yiming took out a piece of paper that he had prepared a long time ago, which recorded a lot of materials needed for the production of some items that he could remember, and handed it to Steward Hu.

"Zhang Baihu, let your people be more careful in the future, where are there people who understand these strange and clever tricks, find a way to get them for me, please invite those who can be invited, please don't move, you tie them up for me!"

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Xiaoshe clenched his fists and took his life.

"Steward Hu, Yang Qianhu, this scientific research bureau has the two of you to organize for the time being, and you can use all the resources of Pingli Fort, this is the top priority, you must do it well!"

"It's my lord!" The two of them took the order.

Steward Hu said again: "It's just my lord, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of silver, I'm afraid this Pingli Fort is not much silver!" ”

"I have no money again, didn't I just sell hundreds of thousands of taels of bonds?" Qin Yiming looked at Yang Jiuyi in disbelief, this money was spent too fast!

Yang Jiuyi also said with an innocent face: "There are still more than 100,000 taels left, but I'm afraid it will last for a year and a half, my lord, I don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are not at home, the military households are now okay to shoot arrows and lift weights, and the rewards alone need thousands of taels every year, and the ** pig iron is even more innumerable, our Pingli Fort consumption is particularly powerful, firearms account for the majority, and the students of the university hall ......"

Qin Yiming, the prodigal son, is too lazy to listen, he is used to spending money lavishly, and he doesn't like to listen to this, "Okay, don't say it!" Gotta find a way to get the money! ”
