"Open a port in Penglai, which should be closed, and give it to Yanhou for experimental ships." Liu Che made his decision almost immediately.

"The port of Penglai has already started." Prime Minister Sun Hong said with a slight fist.

"I'm talking about opening another port, closed." Liu Che said decisively.

Gongsun Hong frowned slightly, but immediately changed his attitude and said, "The minister will do it." ”

Liu Che nodded and said, "You contact Yan Ming to see how much budget he needs, just say what I said, don't be afraid of spending money, just build a good ship." ”

Gongsun Hong agreed repeatedly, and he was so envious that Yan Ming was dying of envy.

He is the most jealous and capable person. But he also knows forbearance. For example, the master father Yan who proposed the Tui En order had a lot of festivals with Gongsun Hong, but he could bear it.

He even gave a few kind words to his master in front of the emperor.

But Gongsun Hong is like a seasoned poisonous snake, once he has the opportunity, he will not hesitate to bite the opponent to death.

This is a terrible person.

Yan Ming didn't expect that such a person would cooperate with him to build the port.

Penglai, a closed port, is not in Yan Ming's plan at all.

Therefore, when he received the official document from Gongsun Hong, he immediately gave Liu Che a note, indicating that Gongsun Hong was responsible for the affairs of Penglai Port, and that there was still research on his side that had not been completed.

Liu Che was not obsessed with Yan Mingfei going to Penglai Port. He left this matter to Gongsun Hong to take full responsibility.

Then he sent a private letter to Yan Ming and asked him what he was doing again.

Yan Ming's answer to Liu Che was very simple, mechanical and electrical.

Although Liu Che didn't quite understand what Yan Ming was talking about, he understood that what he studied must be of great use.

Yan Ming didn't say empty words. What he and Mo Zheng are now studying is indeed mechanics and electricity.

The research started with the battery in the van, and then Mo Zheng read the textbook in the school, which said that a closed coil would produce an electric current when cutting magnetic inductance lines.

So Mo Zheng wanted to research a generator.

It's just that the machining accuracy required by this kind of thing is very high, which has to improve the accuracy of machining.

All industries are almost chain reactions, and one link cannot be left behind.

Machined things, Yan Ming and Mo Zheng studied together.

He worked hard to recall the principles of the machine tools he had used, and repeatedly studied with Mo Zheng, and it took half a year to be regarded as a small achievement.

The lathe they worked on could easily process some parts with slightly higher precision.

The cycle is virtuous. By assembling machine tools with high-precision parts, they were able to reluctantly achieve primitive machining with steam power.

Every time Da Lao Chen saw the machine in operation, he would sigh that their blacksmith's days were about to pass.

The mechanical age is inevitable to come, and in addition to being lost, Da Lao Chen is also very fortunate that he has participated in this change with all his body and mind.

On the edge of Xinbei City, the perennial flowing river provides the possibility of hydroelectric power.

Yan Ming told Mo Zheng his thoughts, and after simply providing some ideas, he didn't care.

Mo Zheng: They are the best designers. Under the prompting of Yan Ming's advanced thoughts, they soon had detailed steps.

By this time, the steam-powered steamship had completed its final fusion.

Under Yan Ming's design and command, the blacksmiths of New Taipei City actually built a small, purely iron ship.

According to Yan Ming's requirements, the Condor Crossbow was even installed.

Even, there are firing towers with flintlock pistols.

Such a battleship armed to the teeth was the first in the Han Dynasty.

In line with the idea of returning to the sea, Yan Ming asked the sailors to get ready, and cruise directly into the sea along the river on the edge of New Taipei City.

Yan Ming is the captain of this ship.

"Ships must have their own names, and this ship was born in New Taipei City, so let's call it New North City." Yan Ming looked at the small ship.

"New North, that's a good name." Han Yan looked at the ship and said.

Although this ship is small, it is also relative to the ship that Yan Ming knows. Compared with the ships of the Han Dynasty, they have been counted as medium and large ships.

Wooden dinghies hang on either side of the ship. It makes the ship look like a sparrow is small, but it has all kinds of organs.

"I will lead the New North along the river, into the sea, and then to Penglai Port." Yan Ming said with a smile.

"Are you sure you can find Penglai Harbor?" Han Yan asked with a smile.

Yan Ming nodded and said, "With a compass, it should be fine." ”

"When are you going to go?" Han Yan asked.

Yan Ming said: "On the day of departure, we have to set a date with the emperor. This matter has to be reported. ”

Han Yan nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "We are in this New Taipei City, as if we are in our own independent world. To put it mildly, I almost forgot that there was still Chang'an and the emperor. ”

Yan Ming glanced at Han Yan and said, "In the political system I know, the imperial power is finally hollowed out. There is a parliament and a congress, but there is indeed no emperor. ”

Han Yan looked at Yan Ming and said, "I really don't know where you learned this!" ”

Yan Ming shook his head and said, "It's not that I learned it, but I feel natural when I see it a lot." It's been a long time since you've kowtowed, right? ”

Han Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "I haven't been back all these years, and if I think about it carefully, I'm really not used to it." ”

Yan Ming sighed and said: "Of course you won't get used to it, the situation here in New Taipei City is that people of all nationalities have it, although there is not so much difference in the past few years because of the popularity of Chinese, but we have discussed everything from the beginning, and we have formed a preliminary form of political discussion." Just like the official regulations were formed. ”

"Have you ever thought about spreading this out, like compulsory education?" Han Yan said suddenly.

Yan Ming shook his head and said, "If you want to promote, it's not easy. Our emperor is not ordinary. If it is carried out, it will be fought with him. ”

After a pause, Yan Ming said: "The Han Dynasty is a unified dynasty. From the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, in the future, only by maintaining such a unified dynasty and forming our unique national habits and culture can this population survive for a long time and not be wiped out due to foreign invasions. Therefore, I think the current system of political discussion is not suitable. The dynasty of the whole world is more conducive to the formation of the idea of great unification in people's hearts. ”

"The idea of great unification?" Han Yan was a little puzzled.

Yan Ming laughed self-deprecatingly.

Tell Han Yan about these things, of course he doesn't understand.

Since ancient times, Chinese emperors, no matter who sits on the dragon chair, have a dream of dominating the world. But if the emperor cannot complete the unification, it is unorthodox that is not recognized by history.

The reason why the Chinese nation has been repeatedly invaded and not extinct is because of this idea of great unification, and this kind of thought and culture has also directly affected more races, and finally assimilated them into Han Chinese.

It was a kind of power, and the dynasty of the family eventually evolved into the concept of the family state.
