Chapter 101: The Steam Engine Has a Head

"Master Tang, you can come to Nanjing, Xing is really fortunate to have three lives, in fact, I can speak a few words in English, and I have never been to England and Scotland, the earth is round, I believe 100%, isn't your Columbus in the West a great voyage? Such a feat is proof enough! ”

"Oh, God, Daming even has a character like Shen Houye, no wonder His Majesty will accept you as a student, you actually know that Christopher, Columbus, he is the greatest navigator in Italy, we can come to Daming In addition to the call of the Lord, it is because of admiring his courage that we are not afraid of the wind and waves on the sea."

John Tong was still babbling to himself, from astronomy to geography, from mathematics to mechanical cannons...... But Shen Xing didn't have such patience, and after a few sentences, he rummaged through the cabinets in the study to find the newly drawn steam engine drawings, and in his spare time during this time, he was thinking about the steam engine except for eating and sleeping with his wife.

Because if you want the Ming Dynasty to step to a new level and throw other countries in the world far away, it is only possible to build a steam engine and set off an industrial wave, otherwise when they come from behind, with the predatory nature of these foreign devils, the Ming Dynasty will definitely never be able to live in the future.

"Tang Daren, you are proficient in mechanical manufacturing, see if you can make things on this drawing?"

Tang Ruowang took the drawings and looked at them carefully a few times, nodded and shook his head. "Shen Hou Ye, the machine you painted is very detailed, I know what it does at a glance, you must want to use fire to heat this metal can, and then use a metal pipe to connect it with a metal pipe to emit hot gas, not much, Daming's Kong Ming lantern is to use this principle, this is a genius idea!" But I can only make the shape, but I can't show it well! ”

Tang Ruowang spread out his hand and shrugged his shoulders to express regret. "Do you find the materials and processes difficult to achieve?" "No, no! I have seen your Shen family's improved Franco cannon, the casting process is completely possible, your calcined steel is even more advanced than our Western countries, what I am worried about is that the piston on the diagram and the sealing technology of this large cylinder are difficult to achieve at our current level! ”

Professional, really professional, after a few glances, he pointed out the most critical part of the steam engine, worthy of being a highly talented student cultivated by the Roman Empire, Shen Xing patted his head, and suddenly thought that he was drawing the latest steam engine drawings after Watt's improvement! The invention of the steam engine in the West was almost a hundred years in the middle of Watt's improvement, and it was no wonder that he was careless and leaned on the most advanced from the beginning decades in advance, so it is no wonder that Tang Dana could not find the context.

After thinking about it for a while, Shen Xing still thinks that if you do it, you have to do it big, New China can play two bombs and one star with abacus beads, and now you want people, money, and money, and I'm afraid that I can't make a steam engine, even if I can't make the best, I can make do with some four dislikes! People must have dreams, what if they come true?

"Master Tang, don't retreat when you encounter difficulties, there will always be a way to think about it, don't you want to preach when you come all the way to Daming? As long as you can help me build a steam engine, how about my Shen family promise to give you free of charge to build fifty cathedrals across the country? Moreover, when you were researching the manufacture of steam engines, the Shen family gave each of you a high salary of 10,000 taels of silver per year, and there was no time limit, and any personnel and materials you needed should be supplied! ”

Tang Ruowang and his partner immediately agreed when they heard such tempting conditions, and saw that Shen Xing made a contract very happily and paid a year's salary in advance, Tang Ruowang sighed, "If the Roman Empire can attach so much importance to scientific research as you are to Shen Houye, there will be no loneliness today, Daming has Hou Ye, you are really God blessed!" ”

Shen Xing smiled slightly to show politeness, thinking in his heart, the hell only the hell believes in your God, one day Lao Tzu's team will step on your God's nest! However, such an ambition Shen Xing just thought about it for a while.

Nanjing University, which covers an area of several thousand acres, has already started construction, and Shen Xing intentionally or unintentionally installed the laboratory in it, and by the way, he shamelessly invited Tang Ruowang if they could make a few guest appearances in a few classes during the weekend break in the future.

How did the simple old Tang know about Shen Xing's conspiracy, and when he heard that he was teaching at the largest and most up-to-date university in the Ming Dynasty, he not only agreed, but also expressed that it was his honor to get such a job, and repeatedly thanked Shen Xing for his academic affirmation!

In this way, the first batch of foreign scientists introduced by the Ming Dynasty are beginning to take shape, Lao Tang and his teammates are like a gold mine, Shen Xing plans to keep it and dig it slowly, can't he get the high salary and high treatment? I don't believe that those friends and classmates of your old soup will not come when the time comes. The power of accumulating small streams into a great river example is invincible.

Thinking about this kind of thing will think of more, because of Lao Tang and others, Shen Xing suddenly germinated the willingness to send and study abroad, after all, many things in the West are still very worthy of learning from the West, and I can't be busy with my own ideological work! It is still very necessary to get a group of international students who can accept new things first, and even if it is poor, they can also get in touch with physics, mathematics and chemistry...... of modern teaching,

Just do it, or choose from the people who know the roots of the Shen family, this time it is not the turn of men and women, Shen Da accepted this difficult task for the first time, after all, he wants to send people to the west thousands of miles away, and there is still danger to his life on the way, so whoever listens to it has to think about it. Shen Da took such a task, but in fact, he was also playing drums in his heart, for fear that he would not be able to complete it.

"Cousin, why didn't you notify the slave when you came back!" Hearing this voice, Shen Xing's body immediately stiffened, he hadn't seen this heavy-tonnage cousin for several days, he didn't think of this person at all, it was impossible to hide from the little aunt, not to mention it, if he provoked this little ancestor and ran to his father to make trouble, he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around.

"Wow, cousin, I haven't seen you for a year, you've really lost a lot of weight!" Shen Xing praised him very shamelessly and against his will, and Zhao Min heard Shen Xing say this and believed it, so he immediately turned around in place. "Really? Cousin, is it that we will be able to get married after the New Year! The three babies you gave birth to are so cute, and the slave will give birth to one for you! ”

The fat girl said as if no one was around, hugging Shen Xing for fear that he would slip away again, fortunately, Tang Dana and his group had not left yet, although it was a little weird to see such a scene, but after coming to Daming for so long, he was also a person who was used to seeing Fengyue.

"This girl, you are a country of etiquette, it's not good to be rude to Master Hou like this! You should have aristocratic manners! Tang Dana's righteous relief made Shen Xing grateful, because everyone present knew how powerful this little aunt was, and no one stood up to help Shen Xing at this time.

"You foreign devil is nosy, when the slave and the uncle were walking on the sea, they met some foreigners who specialized in robbing people's property, there is no good thing, the slave don't talk to you, get out of the way!" Tang Ruowang was also embarrassed by Zhao Min's scolding, the sea was indeed as this little girl said, full of pirates who came to Daming to pan for gold, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Shen Xing and left.

"Minmin, have you ever been to the West? Let go of my cousin and talk to me about it, okay? Although Shen Xing was hugged to death, his focus was indeed different from ordinary people, he was thinking about how to fool some intimate Shen family members to study abroad, and now when he heard that this little chubby girl actually had the experience of sailing, he immediately became interested.

"Cousin, your mind has really forgotten everything, when you were a child, you saw that slaves often went to sea, didn't you have to go with them, but you have not been with you since you were seasick, and there are many places where slaves go, and the farthest one has been to England? I went with my big cousin, and the people there were smelly and hairy! ”

Zhao Min finally let go of Shen Xing as he spoke, but his hands were still pulling him tightly, and Shen Xing didn't care too much, after all, is the little cousin still a potential fat man? It's cute, and it's acceptable for a beautiful woman to change her style occasionally.
