The Industrial Revolution was a production and technological revolution in which machines replaced manpower and large-scale factory production replaced individual workshops and manual production. Steam engines, steel, and coal are regarded as the three indispensable elements that contributed to the technological and accelerated development of the industrial revolution!

Taiyi City is now at the peak of the handicraft industry, but it has not been able to break through its bottleneck, and the formation is that with the increase in demand for the entire Tang Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, especially the southwest and Tuyuhun, as well as the Great Food Country, the handicraft industry of the entire Taiyi City has long been unable to meet the demand of such a large area.

Even if it is the entire Datang, what Taiyi City can do, and all the authorized workshops operate, in terms of textile, it cannot meet the needs of the market.

Although under Li Hong's reform, in order to further improve productivity and meet market demand, the original individual processing has been changed to a sub-workshop, and the level of skilled craftsmen and unskilled craftsmen has been divided.

In this way, not only does it improve the quality and total amount of production, but also makes it impossible for a single craftsman to complete a product alone, which can be regarded as protecting the interests of Taiyi City to the greatest extent in this era without patent protection.

But even if Li Hong is killed, Li Hong would not have thought that one day Datang would be able to enter the era of the steam engine, although looking at the gadgets in front of him, he knew that it was still far away from the era of the steam engine, but ...... At least people are starting to study steam now, which is a good sign, isn't it?

Bai Chun and the others woke Li Hong up in the middle of the night, with a solemn and mysterious face, as if they had obtained some priceless treasure. Holding Yan Lingbin in his arms and sleeping in a daze, sleepy-eyed, yawning, shaking his head and listening to Bai Chun's nagging beside him, he let others and Yan Lingbin put him in pajamas.

"What the hell have you been talking about for a long time? Active? There are many things that can move, and the leaves can still move when the wind blows. Li Hong put his arms around Bai Chun's slender waist and wanted to press her on the bed to continue sleeping.

"Oops...... Pull me along. Bai Chun was overwhelmed, took out her pink fist and lightly slammed the prince who was pressing her, and her other hand was dragged hard by Yan Lingbin, and finally dragged it up.

"The slave maid didn't understand, but I heard from the students of the Hongwen Pavilion that this thing shouldn't be simple, but they didn't know what the specific effect was, so the slave and maid made the decision and pulled them over with that thing."

Li Hong glanced at Bai Chun with half-open eyes, put on silky pajamas, and then put on a fur coat, and said dissatisfiedly: "If that thing has no value, see how I clean you up!" ”

There are many students in Chongwen Pavilion who have gone to Taiyi City, and those crazy people have studied everything, but so far, except for those people led by Li Chunfeng, who have made some research results, and the medicinal canteen has been working on improving explosives, as for other aspects, there have been no proud research results.

Now that Bai Chunshen was mysteriously pulled up from the bed, he had to take him to see something that he couldn't even name immediately, if he could have enthusiasm and a good mood, it would be strange.

But even so, Bai Chun still pushed him from behind, pleading in a pleading tone, pleading again and again, and pushed someone into the living room downstairs.

There were no students from Chongwen Hall in the living room, only Xiaoxue and they were guarding a copper thing like a stove, looking at the solemn and nervous expressions of several people, Li Hong was even more curious, what could make them so nervous, they ran to Taiyi City in broad daylight, and rushed back in the middle of the night.

"What is this?" Li Hong pointed to the copper stove-like thing on the desk, the boiler is not like a boiler, the hot pot is not like a hot pot, what is this?

Li Hong walked to him, looked at Xiaoxue, Xia Zhi, Banmei, and Xunlan suspiciously, and pulled the hollow copper ball on top of the boiler and was framed by two copper pipes, and on both sides of the copper ball, there were also two short copper pipes like horns, and at this time, he pulled it with his hand, and turned it on the bracket of the two copper pipes, obviously the two copper pipes extending from the surface of the copper furnace were not fixed to the copper ball.

"This ...... This...... What's ...... Steam Ball? Who developed this? What about people? Where is it? Let them come at once! Li Hong looked at the hollow copper ball that was still spinning, and suddenly shouted as if he was frightened.

Bai Chun was taken aback by Li Hong's reaction, and the four girls of Xiaoxue were also taken aback by Li Hong's reaction! Yan Lingbin, who had not yet had time to walk down the stairs, heard Li Hong's exclamation and almost fell down the stairs.

"You...... What did you just call it? Bai Chun looked at Li Hong incredulously, feeling as if His Highness knew this thing.

But this thing was just made by the students of Chongwen Hall a few days ago, and it has never been shown to outsiders at all! Not to mention the name, because even those few students of Chongwen Hall don't know what to call it!

His Highness has been busy these days, and it is impossible for him to know about this thing, but why does he call this thing a steam ball?

And the name of the steam ball is completely in line with the moving thing in front of him, although there is no name, but the steam ball in His Highness's mouth is simply too appropriate.

"What? Don't tell me it's really called a steam ball? Li Hong still didn't react, after all, he knew what this thing represented.

If you really want to study and investigate, the steam spinning ball in front of you is the earliest known and earliest machine in the history of the steam engine that converts steam into power!

And what's even more incredible is that this thing, called the steam ball, appeared in ancient Greece as early as 600 years ago in the Tang Dynasty, where Li Hong is located, and even at that time, ancient Greece and ancient Egypt had already understood how to use steam power.

However, the development of society at that time was slow, and the handicraft industry was fully able to cope with the demand for everything in the context of that era, so this steam power was not taken seriously, but was only used by ancient Greece and Egypt to open the doors of huge and heavy temples.

Then, with the surge in market demand, the handicraft industry could not meet the huge market demand, and steam power was picked up and used by the British again, and finally the first industrial revolution broke out.

The outbreak of the Industrial Revolution is because of the handmade textile industry that the British are proud of, with the increase in market demand, in the case of unable to meet market demand, steam power finally stepped onto the stage of human development and promoted the pace of human history.

Spinning machine and coal mine are the two major factors that gave birth to the steam engine, with more and more demand, manpower can not do it, the steam engine naturally came into being in the pace of social change.

Today's Taiyi City, if it is isolated from the rest of Datang and treated as an independent individual, then it is not surprising that this steam turnaround ball appears.

After all, the demand of Datang and the production pressure of Taiyi City forced the students of Chongwen Pavilion who were transformed in the hands of Li Hong, with the support of the huge treasury of Taiyi City, to let them use their imagination to create more new things.

Xiaoxue looked at Li Hong and glared at her, she was so frightened that she hurriedly shrank her neck, turned around and ran away, those few students from the Chongwen Pavilion were fortunately brought by Bai Chun, and now they are placed in the hall in front of them, just because they are afraid that the prince will find them, so they will be brought back just in case.

"Is this thing powerful?" Bai Chun's reaction to Li Hong was no longer enough to describe surprise.

Because at the beginning, they only understood how to use this thing after the students demonstrated it in the Chongwen Pavilion, but now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually began to tinker with it himself.

Although the steps are different from those of the Chongbunkan students, there is nothing wrong with the large scale.

As the small charcoal in the stove below was lit, the pot-bellied copper stove, which was connected to two copper pipes, was also poured with water by Li Hong, and then someone threw everything down and sat on the sofa waiting to watch the trick.

"You...... Why do you know this thing is so useful? Bai Chun's tone has changed, she dares to guarantee that His Highness has never seen it, let alone seen it demonstrated by others, but how could he?

"Am I going to be weird?" Li Hong didn't bother to pay attention to her, glanced at her, sat on the sofa and said lightly.

Bai Chun also rolled his eyes speechlessly, unwilling to say pull down, I'm not rare.

But she dared to say this in her heart, if she said it, she knew the consequences, I was afraid that she would be tossed again, and the next day she would have a sore back and legs, as if she had been dismantled.

But no matter what, Bai Chun was still very curious in his heart, as a woman, gossip is definitely nature, so he sat down next to Li Hong, his bright eyes couldn't show a trace of tiredness, and he pointed to the steam ball and asked, "Then according to what you mean, this thing is very powerful?" ”

Li Hong raised his hand and hugged Bai Chun in his arms, this is enough to toss people from Taiyi City, Bai Chun can do this, and he will be nervous to send it over as soon as possible, instead of waiting until the next day to come back, the behavior of running overnight still makes him very moved.

"Awesome is naturally awesome, but it's hard to say when it will be able to play its due value, ten years? Twenty years? Thirty years? Anyway, this little thing in front of me is indeed an extremely important thing for my Datang in the future. ”

"Not now?"

"Now? What about early? Li Hong looked at the hollow copper ball on the steam ball and began to shake back and forth, and smiled knowingly.

The steam spinning ball was developed in 10-70 A.D., and at the end of the 17th century, it was really used, and now Datang invented this steam spinning ball, and if you want to really move towards the steam age, I am afraid that it will not be possible to do it in more than ten or twenty years.

What's more, he doesn't know much about this, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he doesn't know anything, what he can rely on is to give Datang's skilled craftsmen financial resources, material resources and some inspiration that may make them even more confused, as for whether he can succeed, he himself doesn't know, and he also doesn't have a general concept of time.

But no matter what, this backward invention still brought him and Datang a glimmer of hope.

So during this period of time, what he needs to do is to give his limited knowledge to these students of Chongwen Pavilion, and as for the road ahead, it depends on them to see if Datang has this kind of creation.
