Luo Cheng couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that Huba's performance didn't seem to be fake.

But when you think about it, it seems that this is not bad, and if Huba is really interested in it, he can only be a teacher, impart scientific knowledge, and build a better new world......

"That's very good."

Luo Cheng was too lazy to be polite, and directly led Huba in, and those craftsmen were also placed among them.

But it's not time to start work yet, so we have to wait for Luo Cheng's arrangement.

Led Huba in, it was still a pot of water, the flames below were rising, burning, and the water vapor could be vaguely seen floating out, Luo Cheng did not say it directly, but asked: "Just this pot of water, what do you see?" ”

Hearing Luo Cheng's inquiry, Hu Ba suddenly turned upright, this question is obviously not simple, maybe Luo Cheng wants to consider him with this. It was Huba who was lost in thought and did not dare to reply easily.

The pot of water was already boiling, and it was just boiling now, when the boiling water turned into steam, and when the lid of the pot was opened, it made a violent noise, which instantly attracted Huba's attention.

Since Luo Cheng asked him about this, the answer is obviously not so simple, could it be that the focus is on this water vapor?

Huba's eyes were slightly fixed, staring at the lid of the pot, thoughtful.

"What the prince said is that this steam can push the lid open?" After a short period of hesitation, Huba finally came up with a slightly reliable answer, which was to answer Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng's eyes lit up, this Huba is really talented, he is just tempting at will, who would have thought that he would really notice the water vapor and give the answer, which is surprising.

Nodding slightly, Luo Cheng said with a smile: "Brother Hu is really powerful, what Luo Cheng wants to say is this water vapor." Wooden oxen and horses don't need manpower, so can we use the power of steam? ”

Because Jiang Song didn't have the idea of getting involved, Luo Cheng didn't talk to him too much about it. But at this moment, Huba has already shown talent and interest, and Luo Cheng certainly wants to say more.

Luo Cheng was all wave, Hu Ba suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, although he had not fully comprehended, but he noticed something, this steam is very good.

But Huba still had doubts in his heart, and he asked, "Although this steam can push the lid open, it is probably not enough to make a wooden ox and flowing horse, and if it is driven normally, it is also a little troublesome." ”

Through these words, Luo Cheng knew that Huba understood the essence of it, and building a steam engine was to solve these problems, so that the power of steam could be used, and even driven normally.

It was Luo Cheng who smiled and said, "Brother Hu is right, but isn't this exactly where the interest of research lies?" If you know everything from the beginning, then it is the credit of your predecessors. ”

Huba was stunned when he heard this, he was in a trance, but he quickly came back to his senses, and then suddenly realized, and said: "I see, what the prince wants to build is not Zhuge Wuhou's wooden ox and flowing horse, but to build his own wooden ox and flowing horse." ”

Sure enough, it is a son who can be taught, Luo Cheng nodded with satisfaction, Huba's understanding is still extremely high. He just made a casual mention of it, and then he understood the deep meaning.

After a short period of silence, Huba said in a firm tone: "What the prince just said is very true, Huba understands. Since the prince wants to develop this thing, I wonder if Huba can leave it effective? ”

Huba put himself in the right position and did not transgress in the slightest.

Luo Cheng nodded and said, "It's okay, as long as Brother Hu is willing, he will naturally be able to participate in it." After all, the development of this wooden ox and flowing horse cannot be achieved by one person. ”

Hearing this, Huba was also a little excited, and said yes to Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng continued: "Don't look at the steam power of this pot of water, but now that it can be combined in one place, it is bound to be able to play a great role, and if it is properly arranged, it can be compared to a thousand jun." ”

This made Huba a little surprised, after all, he didn't know a lot of knowledge, and when Luo Chengyi said it, he was suddenly confused. But he didn't pretend to understand, but asked Luo Cheng.

There are some things that are difficult to explain in detail in a short period of time, and Luo Chengcheng gave Huba a brief introduction.

Huba still has a lot to learn in the future, and Luo Cheng doesn't have the textbooks at hand now, so he can only learn in practice. Such a gifted person must be cultivated well.

I just don't know how Father Hu felt when he saw his son being taken into the pit by Luo Cheng. It is estimated that he is just laughing, and he is a little helpless while being happy, after all, he is with Luo Cheng, but why did he become a craftsman?

As a businessman, Father Hu naturally does not have the so-called chain of contempt for farmers and businessmen. It's just that he has a son, and he will grow old after all, so should he give up such a big industry to others?

But it is undeniable that Hu Ba hugged Luo Cheng's thigh tightly It was a very correct choice, and Hu's father did not mean not to hide it. Now I can only take one step at a time, anyway, there is no endless road.

……

After solving the site, coupled with the craftsmen summoned by Hu's father, Luo Cheng finally officially started construction.

Although a steam engine is built today, it is impossible to lay railroad tracks in a short time. However, if it is completed in one day, it will be possible to plan in advance, and the change in transportation will undoubtedly have a great impact.

As Luo Cheng expected, under the superposition of interest and passion, Huba seemed very studious. When Luo Cheng drew the drawings, he seemed to work hard, which made Luo Cheng a little surprised.

In addition, Huba's talent is really good, and he can often draw inferences from one another, which also saves Luo Cheng a lot of trouble. Luo Cheng realized this, maybe this is where Huba's talent lies, and it is too much of a delay to write poetry.

In today's situation, it is not practical to build a train, and what Luo Cheng needs now is experimentation. To see if there is a problem with his design, he draws the drawings and then asks the craftsman to start building.

This is a miniature version of the steam engine, and it is too labor-intensive to build the full version at the beginning. As a good boy who is diligent and thrifty, Luo Cheng naturally will not let such a thing happen.

Of course, with current technology, it is not easy to build even a smaller version of the steam engine. After all, the requirements for accuracy are not low, and the problems in the material are not small, and there are many things that need to be improved.

So, Luo Cheng solved all these problems by the way.

The process does not need to be repeated, anyway, the results are very gratifying.

After a period of hard work, the craftsmen went through a lot of hard work, and finally according to Luo Cheng's instructions, they built a qualified small steam engine and completed the task.

After learning the news, Luo Cheng hurried over, and the role of the steam engine was undoubted. Now that a small testing machine has been built, he has taken the opportunity to test it.

Huba was also very happy, after all, he had been quite diligent in his studies during this time. After a lot of hard work, I understand a lot of things, and I see that my struggle has finally come to fruition, how can I not be happy?

However, he also knew that the steam engine was not necessarily successful, and the details would not be known until after the experiment.
