Great invention!

For scientific inventions, today's Li Chunfeng has no resistance at all, and is called a great invention by Han Yi, this is certainly not simple, and he can't care about washing the dust for Yunxiu at the moment, and he can't care about getting late, pulling Han Yi and shouting to see the baby.

Han Yi was forced to have no choice but to take a carriage with Li Chunfeng and rush to the dock.

But Yun Xiu didn't understand it a little, what's so great about this?

By the time Han Yi and Li Chunfeng arrived at the dock, it was already dark, and they could only light candles for lighting, but even so, Li Chunfeng was very excited, as if he had entered a big treasure trove, for all the parts of this ship, he looked at it again and again, his expression was even more crazy than Han Yi's expression in front, and he couldn't stop reading: "Incredible!" It's incredible! ”

Han Yi can understand him, because this small boiler room is a microcosm of the industrial age, and it also indicates that the era of industry 1.0 version is coming.

When Li Chunfeng learned the principle of this steam engine, he immediately said: "Old man understands, old man finally understands why you asked Yun Xiu to boil water in the first place, you have already thought of this, right?" ”

Han Yi nodded with a smile and said, "I did think of this, but I just thought of it, even if Taishi thought about it, do you think it will definitely come true?" ”

Li Chunfeng frowned and groaned.

The answer is, of course, no, why Yun Xiu was able to think of it at the beginning, it was because he was looking for early power to replace manpower, but he was just for himself, so when Han Yi arranged for Yun Xiu to boil water, Yun Xiu immediately thought of steam power.

Li Chunfeng obviously does not have this factor.

Han Yi continued: "That's why I didn't tell you, because it's very difficult to achieve, and I don't know how to achieve it myself. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed lightly and said: "This machine is not the credit of Yun Xiu alone, Yun Xiu is only responsible for the design, every part of this steam engine is made by craftsmen with several years of painstaking efforts, just this small screw, I don't know how many people's efforts are in it, not only that, except for the steam engine, all the technologies are provided by the Yang family in Meicun." In general, it doesn't really have anything to do with me. ”

This didn't come out of nowhere, so many people worked silently and tirelessly, and after ten years of research and development, there was this steamship, which was not easy.

Li Chunfeng nodded slightly, and said: "That's not true, at least you provide them with a very good environment, there are so many rich people in the world, let them spend so much money to invest in a research and development without any certainty, they will never do it." ”

Han Yi smiled, he couldn't deny it, in fact, what he said was a lie, but even he didn't feel that he was lying, as an old man, he wanted to enter this role at any time.

Li Chunfeng said again: "I'm really looking forward to seeing this boat start on the river as soon as possible." ”

Han Yi said: "Taishi, please rest assured, this won't have to wait long, it should only be a few days." ”

He's right, it really won't have to wait long, unless he dies.

The news about this ship quickly spread in Chang'an, because Ono and Meng Yao knew that Yun Xiu himself had told those Jiupin academicians that it was impossible to hide it.

As soon as the news came out, but it was terrible, first of all, the merchants of Chang'an were already boiling, because since the emergence of water power, everyone has been groping for a new power, after all, water power is very limited, you have to rely on God to eat, and you have to negotiate with agriculture, the law still guarantees that agriculture first, but everyone has not found a new power to replace, and now I heard that Yunxiu brought a kind of unneeded manpower-driven boat, which is simply a timely rain, almost all the people of Chang'an, They all came to the pier one after another to visit the ship, and of course, no one was allowed to get on the boat, they could only stand on the shore and watch.

But when I stood on the shore, I couldn't see anything at all, except for the peculiar style, and the ship had to move to confirm the news.

However, this news also alarmed the government and the opposition, including Li Zhi, because everyone thought it was incredible, if it was other power, such as water power, wind power, then it would be fine, relying on steam to propel the ship, this is completely unimaginable, everyone is so curious about this, and finally Li Zhi personally ordered this ship to move.

On this day, on both sides of the Wei River south of Chang'an, there were people standing full, and they couldn't see the end at a glance, and the city of Chang'an was almost empty, and the workers and businessmen who could take a holiday let them have a holiday.

And in the best position in the middle of the best river, a very large grandstand was built, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs needless to say, Li Zhi's family was also dispatched as a family, Wu Meiniang, Li Hong, and Li Xian were all here!

This is even more surprising than the glider, the glider still relies on the air current, in the consciousness of the ancients, it is the wind, and there have been kites in these years, it is not very unusual, but the steamship is based on human wisdom, the power created, as long as there is enough fuel, theoretically it is a never-ending movement.

"If this ship is not propelled by men, then what does it have to rely on?"

"Haven't you heard? It's steam! ”

"What steam?"

“...... Only.... It's boiling water that gets that steam. ”

"What? How is this possible? So how could water vapor propel such a large ship? ”

"It's... This, I think, is the magic of the six sages! ”

.....．

Before the trial voyage began, the audience on the shore was already in a heated discussion, but they were talking about the same topic, that is, steam, they thought it was incredible, this boiling water, everyone has seen, how could it be possible to push such a large ship.

No one can explain this, so everyone temporarily uses the words "six studies of the sage" to explain this incredible phenomenon, in fact, many people still don't know what the six studies of the sages are, not the same as Confucianism, parents have been instilling Confucianism in them since childhood.

Even Li Hong, who was in the stands, felt incredible, and asked Yun Xiu: "Academician Yun, how is it possible for this mere water vapor to push such a huge ship?" ”

Because Yun Xiu is the chief designer, Li Zhi made an exception to invite him to come to the stage to watch the sea trials, in fact, almost all of the people sitting in the stands are third-grade officials, and officials below the fifth rank can only stand with the people.

Yun Xiu looked at Li Hong blankly, as if he didn't know how to explain, and as if asking, why are you looking at me? I'm not here to explain to you, I'm only building this steamship for myself.

Han Yi hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, in Taoist thought, there is a saying that the water droplets can drip through hard stones, and the steam can naturally propel the ship forward. ”

Li Hong thought about it for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Listening to what you say, there is some truth. ”

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Academician Yun can always surprise people!" ”

Yun Xiu Mu nodded, maybe in his eyes, these people are some idiots.

.....．

"Why haven't you come yet? I'm so anxious! ”

Brother Xiong stood on the shore, almost stretching his short neck to the limit, so anxious that his fat body trembled.

Xiao Ye, who was pulled by Xiao Fat, looked at the anxious people around him and muttered, "I really don't know what that broken ship looks like." ”

Brother Xiong turned his head abruptly and said seriously: "Ono, that boat really doesn't need manpower to propel, but relies on water vapor, this is what you said, how amazing this is, how can it be a broken ship." ”

Ono said angrily: "You don't know, the broken boat is not as fast as the horse, and you have to keep burning coal, otherwise, you can't go, we were trapped in the river because the coal was burned out, and then we put up a sail and added a foot pedal device, so I finally returned to Chang'an, you have to sit once, and you definitely don't want to sit a second time." ”

"Really?" Brother Xiong scratched his chin, thoughtful, and suddenly asked, "What if there is enough coal?" ”

Ono blinked.

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering shout from the east.

"What's going on?"

was so frightened that Yang Sine hurriedly ran to the stands, and when he saw it, he realized that everyone was cheering, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's coming! Here it comes! Oh.....! ”

Brother Xiong jumped on the spot excitedly, although he didn't see anything, but he liked this lively atmosphere too much, and he was too easily infected by this atmosphere, of course, one of his hands was still on Ono's shoulder, otherwise, he might fall.

Li Zhi and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs also hurriedly got up and came to the stands, Wu Meiniang and a noble lady next door also got up, occasionally a few cheers, the first thing I saw was a puff of black smoke rushing into the sky, but seeing a sailless ship in the east, it quickly sailed towards this side.

Everywhere they passed, the people along the shore shouted hoarsely and waved their hands high.

And on the deck of that ship, there was also a group of people standing waving to the shore, shouting excitedly, mainly the academicians of the Sixth Academy of Sages led by Li Chunfeng, of course, in addition, there were some special guests, Qi Bi He Li, Ashina Mi, Cheng Chuliang, Yan Liben, Yuwen Xiumi, Zhang Daqi, Yuan Xiu, and so on.

"It's really not like a human being driving!"

"Why is it smoking? Is it a fire? ”

.....．

Zhang Wenguan and their ministers were dumbfounded, although the speed of this ship was not fast, but it gave them a very peculiar feeling, as if they had never seen a ship sail like this.

It's a sense of mechanicality.

When the ship passed in front of the stands, Li Zhi noticed that there was a banner hanging on the ship, from the bow to the stern, there was no beauty at all, but it was long enough and conspicuous enough, but Li Zhi still couldn't see clearly.

It was Cui Jijian on the side who said: "Sage Six Students!" ”

"Sage Six?"

Li Zhi was very puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Cui Jijian shook his head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand. ”

Li Zhi looked at Han Yi again.

Han Yi sneered: "This is the name given by the minister to a ship, because it was made by the Sixth Academy of the Sage, so the minister named it the Sixth School of the Sage." ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding Confucian students suddenly cast countless contemptuous glances, and your advertising is too frustrating, and you do not hesitate to destroy the beauty of this ship.

They have already named the next ship in YY, which is called "Confucius", "Mencius", and "Laozi".

But they can only think about it!

Why!

This has something to do with Confucius.

Even Li Zhi looked down on Han Yi a little, and said with contempt: "It's too ugly for you to hang it, how can you hang it like this." ”

It's really not a little beautiful, it's just very rude, erect two poles in the bow and stern, and then hang the banner, it's really not ordinary ugly.

You care about me, I give so much money, what if I hang a banner? Han Yicai doesn't care whether it's beautiful or not, the key is to let everyone see it, just grow up and be coarse, and said with a cheeky smile: "Aren't you afraid that everyone can't see clearly." ”

Li Zhi shook his head and sighed, a merchant is a merchant, and asked, "How fast is this ship?" ”

Han Yi said: "I'm afraid I have to ask Yun Xiu." ”

"Yun Xiu."

Li Zhi suddenly looked left and right and said, "What about Academician Yun?" ”

When I looked back, I found that Yun Xiu had already shrunk into a chair and fell asleep!

Everyone immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and they didn't understand how to sleep in such a noisy environment.

But this is also a talent of Yun Xiu, he can fall asleep in any environment, even on the edge of the thatched house, but when he is thinking about problems, he can not sleep for a day and a night, and he can't feel the passage of time.

Li Zhi shouted, "Academician Yun." ”

“......！”

Li Zhi said embarrassedly: "I'm really asleep!" ”

Zhang Desheng hurriedly stepped forward, patted Yun Xiu gently, and said, "Academician Yun." ”

Yun Xiu opened his eyes and muttered, "Is it already over?" The villain retired. He said a word to the empty couch in front of him, and prepared to leave.

Zhang Desheng hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Academician Yun, it's not over yet, Your Majesty called you." As he spoke, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find the direction, so he pointed to Li Zhi's side.

Yun Xiu really didn't find the right direction, turned his head away, and looked at Li Zhi blankly, his head was completely a mess, and he didn't know what to say.

Of course, Li Zhi would not have the same knowledge as him, and took the initiative to ask: "Academician Yun, I want to ask you how many pieces this ship can drive?" ”

Yun Xiu said: "You can walk more than forty miles in one hour. ”

Li Ji frowned and said, "Isn't it as fast as a sailboat?" ”

Yun Xiu scratched his eyebrows and looked at Li Ji with a blank look, he didn't think about this problem, he didn't care about time, what he cared about was being able to be lazy.

Han Yi hurriedly said: "In the case of a tailwind, it may not be as good as a sailboat, but if there is no wind or headwind, it must be the Sage Liuxue fast, and this ship can also hang sails." ”

Li Ji nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Li Zhi asked again: "Academician Yun, how did you come up with the idea of inventing this kind of steamship?" ”

Yun Xiu said truthfully: "Because I saw boiling water vapor jumping at the pot of Gai Bolong Bolong." ”

Li Zhi waited for a while, and seeing that he didn't seem to have any intention of going on, he suddenly laughed and asked left and right, "Have you ever seen the boiling kettle?" ”

Li Ji said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, Lao Chen thought that most people should have seen it, but no one thought of this. ”

The rest of the ministers nodded their heads as well.

Li Zhi asked Yun Xiu again, "Why do you think of this again?" ”

Yun Xiu thought for a while and said, "Because I don't know how to ride a horse." ”

Li Zhi blinked, a little incomprehensible, and looked at Han Yi in confusion.

It's a dog! I must not go out with Mr. Yun next time, it is really too difficult! Han Yi explained: "Your Majesty, that's the case, Yun Xiu originally wanted to build a car that he could move, but in the end he didn't succeed, so he had this steamboat. ”

A car that can move by itself. Li Hong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Why didn't you succeed?" ”

Han Yi said: "It is said that it is because I didn't find the right material to make the wheel, if it is too fast, the wooden wheel may not be able to withstand it." ”

"I see." Li Hong nodded.

Li Zhi was also very interested in this, and looked at Yun Xiu again, seeing that he looked wooden and stupid, it was really unimaginable that he could build such a very peculiar ship, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "Academician Yun, I believe that you will succeed." ”

Yun Xiu looked at Li Zhi blankly, he didn't know what to say with his EQ close to zero, because he thought it was difficult, how could he definitely succeed.

Embarrassed.......

Li Zhi had never spoken to such a strange person, but he didn't care, laughed, and said to Han Yi: "I want to go to that boat to have a look." ”

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty is talking about the sage six school number? ”

Li Zhi looked at him without saying a word, his heart was angry and funny, one was like a piece of wood, and the other was almost an adult.

You help me spread the word, so what? Han Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, for the time being, it is still very hot and dirty inside the Sixth Sage School, if Your Majesty wants to go, you can go again in the afternoon, but Yunxiu has a steam model that can allow Your Majesty to see the power principle in this." ”
