Chapter 957

There are too many scientists in history to dedicate their lives to science. Li Chengqian didn't want to pin his life on Tang Shanzhi's guarantee, nor did he want to write like this in the Tang Book a few years later: Prince Chengqian, the test machine will not succeed, and he will die!

So although Xiao Tang had repeatedly assured that this steam engine would not explode, Li Chengqian still ran out with a group of his subordinates and hid behind a thick pillar to peek in.

"Your Highness, Liaodong City has been defeated, just at noon!" After hiding behind the pillar, Cui Yu took the opportunity to wait and whispered to report the situation in Liaodong. Liaodong City was occupied by the Tang Army, and it naturally became the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and it was naturally not surprising that Lao Cui received the news from there.

"What about the casualties? Is the force still capable of continuing to fight? Li Chengqian temporarily withdrew his attention from the steam engine and asked seriously.

earns money from selling tea and eggs, and has the heart of selling white powder, this is Li Chengqian's current situation.

Since the crackdown on the prison state, Li Chengqian obviously felt that there were more fresh faces in the East Palace, and it was clear that the old man was not very worried about him, so he sent someone to monitor him.

But even so, what can be done? The restless nature determined that Li Chengqian could not stop, and besides, he was fighting Goguryeo, and history said that the old man was defeated in Anshi City, and he attacked for more than three months and could not win.

Li Chengqian felt that this kind of thing should never happen in the current Tang Dynasty, with the cooperation of the Feifeng Army, the Rocket Army and the artillery, if he couldn't take an Anshi City, it would be the biggest strange thing.

However, there are no absolutes in the world, and although Li Chengqian is full of confidence in this crusade, he always feels that there is a little bit of support in his heart, and there will always be a gap between ideals and reason, and no one can guarantee that the superiority in equipment will definitely be brought into play, and if something goes wrong here, it is not impossible for him to fall short.

Therefore, Li Chengqian was very concerned about the affairs of the Eastern Expedition, and specially instructed Cui Yu that no matter what happened, he must tell him as soon as possible, so that he could have an advance arrangement, after all, there are still two 'fangs' squadrons on the Chang'an side, and when it is really needed, transferring these two thousand people to be a commando or something will always be better than the guys of the Sixteenth Guard who have not yet adapted to the new equipment.

"The results of the battle are not bad, according to the news received by the minister, Liaodong City, from the city lord to the government officials, has been slaughtered, and there are no Goguryeo soldiers in the entire Liaodong City." Cui Yu talked about the battle in Liaodong, and people seemed a little excited, after all, he was also a member of the Tang Dynasty, and he was also happy when the Tang Dynasty won the battle, but this happiness was based on the pain of the Goguryeo people.

"Lao Cui, I'm talking about our casualties, not Goguryeo's casualties, what do you say he is doing?" Li Chengqian depressedly dismissed Cui Yu's unprofessionalism.

"It's hard to say, I'll go back to your study in a while." Cui Yu hesitated for a moment and glanced around.

In the courtyard of the Research Bureau, there are soldiers, craftsmen, and officials who can say that there are all kinds of people, and some of them are indeed a little inconvenient to say, and Li Chengqian doesn't want his biggest secret to be exposed in front of people, so he nodded along the water: "Cheng, let's go back and talk about it later, let's see how this machine is first." ”

"Well, look at this...... Machine. Cui Yu turned his head to look at the so-called steam engine and said disapprovingly. He didn't have any affection for this machine bigger than a house all the while, how good it was to have so much steel to make swords, what was the use of getting a big iron stone.

In fact, not only Cui Yu thought so, but half of so many people present were thinking like this.

Although Li Chengqian repeatedly emphasized the advantages and advantages of the steam engine, these people still believed that it was more practical to have these iron used to make swords or cannons. Since the press connected to the steam engine did not move for a long time, this idea was even more serious, and if it were not for Li Chengqian's face, it is estimated that these people would have left long ago.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the end, even Li Chengqian was a little impatient, and walked out from behind the pillar, looking at Tang Shanzhi with his eyes, as if asking why the machine had not responded yet.

"It's moving! It's moving! And just when Tang Shanzhi was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, Liu Min's old man scurried to the edge of the press in a few steps, staring at the heavy hammer with his eyes.

The sound of "squeak...... friction between the metals suddenly sounded after a while, and the hammer head of the press weighing 10,000 catties slowly rose under the gaze of nearly 100 pairs of eyes, rising to a higher place little by little.

"It's really moving, Gao Ming, see it, see it, I'll just say this thing is okay!" Seeing that the press began to work, the embarrassment on Tang Shanzhi's face was swept away.

In fact, Xiao Tang didn't care what the specific effect of this thing was, nor did he care whether this thing would succeed, the reason why he was so excited was because Li Chengqian promised that as long as the research on the steam engine was successful, he would be transferred out of the research department, and he would be so happy to see the press start working.

"Don't be scared, watch slowly!" Li Chengqian interrupted Tang Shanzhi's excitement, and urged the craftsmen who were standing aside to watch the excitement: "Go and get a few molds, try how this thing is, go quickly, there will be a lot of opportunities for you to see in the future, and I promise to see that you want to vomit!" ”

The craftsman has a completely different ideology from Cui Yu and Tang Shanzhi, and after seeing that the machine is really working, all of them have excitement on their faces, and they keep looking around the press and steam engine, and let out a sound of admiration from time to time.

In the past, presses were powered by water, and the speed often changed according to the speed of the water flow, which was difficult to control by manpower. Now with this so-called steam engine, this problem is naturally solved, if you want to make it fast, you can add charcoal, and if you want it to be slow, you can add less charcoal, how simple!

Except for Li Chengqian, no one knows this machine better than they who built the steam engine with their own hands, not even Tang Shanzhi. On the issue of the steam engine, Xiao Tang is at most an overseer, and he doesn't know how useful this thing is, which is the reason why interlacing is like separating mountains.

After a loud "......bang", the sledgehammer slowly lifted, and a piece of cuirass pressed into shape was revealed on the press.

This is the first time that the suppression of the armor has been completed through the artificial power system, Li Chengqian desperately pushed away Xiao Tang beside him, and almost rushed to the edge of the press with an afterimage, looking at the breastplate that was no different from the normal armor, and let out a meaningless laugh: "Hehe......."
