Li Qi, who had just returned, didn't even take a breath, and immediately threw himself into work, burdened with tens of thousands of gold shells, and if you let him rest, he couldn't rest.

In the next few days, he perfected the system of the Huaxia Alliance, expanded the House of Elders and the army, and established a propaganda department.

Having said that, in fact, there are only 30,000 people, which is not a lot for him, and he has managed many more people. This is actually laying the foundation for the future, because if he makes a mistake on this scale, he can reverse it alone, but if he makes a mistake on the head of 300,000 people, then he may be a little powerless.

Of course, it is necessary to publicize it in place and erect him as a leader, if this is uncertain, then a lot of work will not be carried out in the future.

But the system alone is not enough, the system can not be used to repay debts, the key is to produce, this is also a major advantage of socialism, if it is decentralized production, then it is impossible to maximize the benefits, centralized production, you can maximize the benefits, for example, the royal family needs wine, then we will go all out to produce wine. If it is a free economy, some people may go to engage in real estate, after all, human beings still live in thatched houses, but to engage in real estate, only individuals are developed, and there is not much help for the Huaxia Alliance.

So next, Li Qi and Chi went to inspect the fields and fruit groves.

He doesn't need to go to the brewery, as long as there are enough ingredients, he can make many, many wines, and there is no suspense.

Now that the fields of the Huaxia Alliance have expanded more than thirty times compared to when he left, and the fruit groves have also expanded more than ten times, so many people suddenly came, of course, it was to plant the land, or cultivate fruit trees, otherwise, it would be impossible to arrange so many of them.

The seeds of rice and wheat are increasing by N times, and many seeds can be obtained at one harvest.

Li Qi stood on the edge of the field and looked at the endless field, which was really refreshing.

"Richie, there's something I'd like to discuss with you." Equator on the side said suddenly.

Li Qi said: "What's the matter?" ”

Equator: "Now the territory of our Huaxia Alliance has expanded a lot, but there are many places I have never visited, and even if I have been, I don't know how to build fortifications. ”

Looks like I'll have to ask Tsubasa to help me measure it next time! Li Qi knew that Chi meant that he wanted him to draw a map, because he was the only one in the entire Huaxia Alliance who could draw a map, but now there was no need for him to draw a map himself, and the territory had expanded so much, he might not be able to do it, so he had to ask the surveyors of the kingdom to help. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "It is unlikely that we will be attacked during this period, because there will be a large number of royal convoys here, and I will find a way when the time comes." ”

If the royal family were to attack the humans, then any fortifications would be in vain.

Chi nodded, suddenly looked at the shadow that had been following Li Qihan, and finally couldn't help asking, "Who is she?" ”

Li Qi said: "She is specially designed to protect me. ”

Chi was stunned for a moment, and said with a little excitement: "Then isn't she very powerful?" ”

Li Qi laughed: "She is not human, so she is much more powerful than us humans." ”

Hanying couldn't understand what they were talking about, and she wasn't interested in it, she had been silently following Li Qi for the past few days, her eyes had become a little hollow, as if she had no soul.

Chi asked, "Then can I try it against her?" ”

In fact, he had been paying attention to Han Ying all the time, because Han Ying's indifferent eyes made him a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know that Han Ying, who was beaten to the ground and couldn't move, was this look.

Li Qi was stunned, he didn't expect Chi to make such a suggestion, and said with a wry smile: "It's better not to ...... All right! But no matter what the outcome, you can't lose faith! ”

Chi nodded.

He is very eager to become stronger, eager to fight against strong people, and he thinks that this is the only way to improve.

Li Qi looked back at Han Ying and said, "Can you take the dagger from his hand?" ”

Cold Shadow nodded.

Li Qi said: "Then take it over." ”

As soon as the words fell, Han Ying disappeared beside him, and Chi also conditionally launched the dagger that touched his right hand to his waist, only to find that the dagger was gone, and when he looked up again, he saw that Han Ying was still standing next to Li Qi, as if he was hallucinating, but there was an extra dagger in front of Li Qi.

If you let Chi know, this chick is in the cow hump that is for the royal family to swatt flies, I really don't know if he will kill himself. Li Qi took the dagger and handed it to the stunned Chi.

He looked down and took the dagger in embarrassment.

Li Qi smiled: "There is nothing to be ashamed of, she is much better than me, but so what, she doesn't have to be obedient by my side to protect me and listen to me." As he spoke, he looked at Hanying and smiled, "Am I right?" ”

Hanying can't understand human language, and when she heard Li Qi ask this, she nodded very perfunctorily, how did she know that Li Qi was so cunning.

Seeing it, he was extremely shocked, because in his understanding, it was the strong who respected him, and he didn't expect that the cold shadow coaxed by Niu X would obey Li Qiyan, and couldn't help asking, "Why does she want to protect you?" ”

"Because I gave her a bite to eat."

Li Qi shrugged his shoulders and said with a straight face: "Chi, I let you be the supreme commander of the Huaxia Alliance, not because you are the most powerful, but because you are calm, and you are strict with yourself and responsible, which are all necessary qualities for a commander, so I hope you know how to lead an army to defend our Huaxia Alliance, as for who you can beat and who you can't, it doesn't really matter." ”

Chi said embarrassedly: "I understand this, it's just... It's just that I like to compete with the strong. ”

Li Qi nodded with a smile and said, "It's no problem to be a hobby." ”

......

After inspecting agriculture, Li Qi went to inspect animal husbandry, animal husbandry is not as terrible as the development of agriculture, relatively speaking, it should be very slow, because today's beasts are very fierce, weak humans are difficult to tame them, but there are many more beasts, because Chi will hunt as a kind of training, they often go out to catch some grass-eating beasts, and when they encounter carnivorous beasts, they will hunt directly.

However, the value of animal husbandry is just food, and Li Qi denied early on what to use oxen to plough the fields and horses to camels, because he wanted to directly develop the steam engine and develop industry, so in terms of domestication, he could wait, as long as those beasts could reproduce.

Coming to the smelting area, this area is not for everyone, you have to get Li Qi's consent to come here, Li Qi didn't even come with Hanying, just came with Chi.

When you come here, the first thing you will do is naturally see the ability of fusion.

"You're really playing with flowers!"

Li Qi saw a tongue of fire surrounding Rong from top to bottom, and he couldn't help but be amused.

"Huh!"

Rong laughed a few times, and when Li Qi was surprised, the tongue of fire also fluctuated up and down with Rong Shu's shoulders.

It seems that this fire and harmony are the feeling of friends, getting along very closely, and emotions can affect each other.

Li Qi wondered if he would have to get a thermometer to help melt control the fire precisely, so that he could have as many degrees as he wanted.

After enjoying Rong's performance, they came to a cave again, only to see all kinds of delicate parts and components inside.

"Richie, look, this is the part I made with Rong." Agu said excitedly.

Li Qi picked up a screw and looked at it carefully, and then took out his ruler to measure, it was really hard to believe that this was made by hand, but compared to the machine, there was indeed such a handmade spirituality, the hands-on ability of this beast was indeed amazing, he suddenly said: "You didn't tell anyone else about this, did you?" ”

Ah Gu shook his head again and again: "No! No! We're all very well-behaved. ”

Rong also nodded honestly.

In fact, Li Qi wanted to ask Ah Gu if he had told Er Shun, but Li Qi didn't want Ah Gu to think that he had classified him as a beast.

"Good!"

Li Qi smiled and nodded, picked up the screw again, and turned it slowly against a small hole in the top of the crank, which was really seamless.

Ah Gu was a little apprehensive: "Okay? If not, I can improve it again. ”

Li Qi said: "It's perfect! ”

When he says "perfect", he does not mean the perfection of the screw, but the combination of fusion and Agu.

Rong's forging talent has surpassed Li Qi's understanding of manual forging, what will be done, in front of Rong, that is garbage, a forger who is very powerful in itself, and can control fire at any time, what is this concept.

And Agu is able to make every detail to the extreme, the beast's eyeballs are bulging outward, although it looks ugly, but you can also think that his eyeballs are a concave and convex lens, as if he was born with a pair of microscopes, can observe very finely, he also has a pair of extremely dexterous hands, as long as you give him the right tools, he can make very complex parts, in other words, he can make the perfect fusion more perfect, and the beast is very smart, especially in engineering, He can do it as fine as a drawing.

Ah Gu was curious: "Li Qi, what are these parts used for?" ”

Li Qi glanced at him and smiled, "Soon you will know!" ”

Although humans are still living in thatched huts, the steam engine is no longer a problem for humans!

Not only that, but they also invalidated a lot of the information in Richie's hands!

In Li Qi's information, the first thing is to improve the smelting technology, those scientists helped him design a lot of boiler equipment to improve smelting, and told them what materials to add to remove impurities in iron ore, but because of the appearance of black iron, these materials are useless, because the properties of black iron that have not been refined are better than steel, and they are so capricious.

Also, the scientist's original design was to rivet the structure, and then slowly develop, but now Rong can control fire, he can make the outer flame of fire into a thin needle, which is equivalent to welding, plus the eyes of the beast, the two of them can cooperate to complete precision welding, resulting in a lot of useless information.

Of course, no matter what changes have taken place in the process, but the final result must be exactly the same as the drawings, Li Qi did not have the talent to create a new power system, and the various steam engines that scientists helped Li Qi design were not Watt steam engines, because Watt did not know where to shine shoes at that time, but a very scientific steam engine, simple and very practical.

There is also the purpose of scientists to let Li Qi first produce steam engines, not for steam ships, but to promote the development of various lathes, scientists believe that lathes are the most basic, steam engines are just an excess, if there is no war, do not go to large-scale application, specifically for the development of industrialization, the production of various precision parts, and then to develop internal combustion engines, and more advanced steam engines.

In fact, the parts that Li Qi asked them to make were boring machine components.

The precision parts have all been manufactured, and the rest is assembly and debugging, and the beast with the colorful stone makes it all very easy, and the tools made of the colorful stone can easily grind the black iron parts to achieve the effect that Li Qi wants. In addition, there is the special rubber they grow, and Agu finally understands what this black fruit is used for. Moreover, Li Qi also has a secret recipe for the special configuration of this rubber, and the materials needed in these secret recipes have been provided by the Baishan tribe for Li Qi.

After several days of commissioning, assembly and final polishing, the first horizontal cylinder boring machine was finally born!

"Why do you want to attach this device to the boiler?"

Agu was very curious.

The beast is a genius in this regard, but at this point, he is confused, because the strength of the race in this world itself is very strong, and there is no need to find new power, so Agu saw Li Qi connect the driving device to the boiler, and was deeply puzzled, he thought that he should install a manual device, or install a pulling device, and use animal power to drive.

Li Qi smiled slightly, and then said to Rong: "Increase the firepower!" ”

"Oh!"

Rong raised his big hand up, and immediately heard the whirring sound in the stove.

Soon, the water in the tank could be heard gurgling, and the steam rushed to the cylinder, pushing the crank in motion, faster and faster.

Puff puff! Bang Bang!

White gas kept spewing out from the erected pipes!

The thrilling symphony of machines is finally ringing out in this world.
