Chapter 181: The Steam Engine Comes Out
"Leave!"
A cold light flashed, and Ming Jian returned to the Great Song Palace.
"Dingdong, congratulations to the host for completing the replica space replacement function, and the system video function has been replaced." The system prompt has also arrived.
A copy of the space, in place of the video feature, this value.
With two dungeon spaces, now Ming Jian can better develop the Great Song.
Now the population of the Great Song Dynasty is somewhat insufficient, the expansion is too fast, and many places need people.
Therefore, Ming Jian immediately moved out the population of the Datang copy by 10 million, turning them into fetuses or fertilized eggs, among which the famous generals of the Datang Dynasty were all made out by him, and they were reincarnated one by one, if they successfully grew up, they would definitely become the living force of the Great Song Dynasty.
The population was moved, and the Ming Jian embezzled the materials, the Tang Dynasty was much richer than the Han Dynasty, and the things developed by the family, Ming Jian directly got them out, and sent them to the treasury through the system.
The key is that there are thousands of ironclad ships in the Datang dungeon space, and this thing can be used immediately, and it is still being manufactured.
Just as he was about to release the ironclad ship, Zheng Guang hurriedly ran over and said, "Official, great joy, great joy!" ”
"What's the matter? Speak slowly! Ming Jian said.
Zheng Guang said: "The official family, Zheng Niangniang's younger brother Zheng Sen has built the steam engine that the official family said, the official family, the steam engine has been built!" ”
"Huh? Let's go, let's see! "Ming Jian was overjoyed, I didn't expect Zheng Sen to actually build a steam engine, it seems that Da Song has to play now.
Walking into the water base of the Royal Academy of Sciences, Ming Jian saw that it was already full of people, and Li Ruoshui, Li Gang and Qin Hui were all there.
Seeing Ming Jian, he gave way one by one, and on the water, a small ironclad ship was moving rapidly, with a sudden sound and smoke on the boat.
"Haha, it really worked! Stop the boat and let me see! Ming Jian shouted happily.
The boat quickly came to a halt near the shore, and the Ming Sword General got on board and walked quickly to the cabin.
There was a burly man in the cabin who was wiping something, and this guy was Ming Jian's brother-in-law Zheng Sen.
A very large machine is steaming, this should be a steam engine, there are cylinders, connecting rods, pistons, etc., and the outside is painted with a layer of black paint, which looks good.
Seeing Ming Jian, Zheng Sen was busy saluting, Ming Jian held him down and said, "Zheng Sen, how many times have you tried it?" What about the data? ”
Zheng Sen said: "Qiqi official, this steam engine is basically no problem, after the power is converted, it is very strong, our ironclad ship sails at a speed of more than 45 miles per hour, but this wear and tear is a bit serious, the minister estimates that a steam engine can be used for two months." ”
"Haha, it doesn't matter, this data is good, it will be mass-produced immediately, and apprentices will be trained, and it will be good to repair it if it breaks down in the future. Zheng Sen, you have made a great contribution this time, and I want to crown you as the king of Australia! Ming Jian laughed.
It is true that it can reach this data at a high speed, which can be said to be successful, and it is easy to say that it is easy to wear and tear, and it is enough to equip more repairmen.
As soon as Zheng Sen heard that he had been crowned king, he immediately knelt down excitedly: "Thank you for the love of the official family!" Hey, where is Australia? ”
Zheng Sen thought about it calmly and immediately asked.
Ming Jian is already fighting the idea of Australia now, such a large territory, now it is still the world of the indigenous people, this territory must be obtained, the minerals there are very rich, the land area is large, and it will definitely bring great help to the Great Song Dynasty.
Ming Jian smiled and said: "Australia, it is a place bigger than the Great Song Dynasty, but now it is still the territory of the barbarian tribe, thousands of miles away from the Great Song Dynasty, I will seal it to you, that is, let you go and fight down, as long as it is defeated, it will be your territory, how about it?" ”
Zheng Sen said with a smile: "It turns out that the official family is using other people's territory to vassalize, but the minister is very happy, no problem, isn't it just a barbarian tribe, when will the minister attack?" ”
Only then did Ming Jian say solemnly: "Zheng Sen, there are not many people needed to attack Australia, but to occupy Australia, at least one million people are needed!" Now you step up the production of steam engines, and when you have gathered enough 1,000 steam ironclad ships, you can go to attack Australia, and I will send you someone over, and I must take it!" ”
"Please rest assured, the minister will live up to the expectations of the official!" Zheng Sen said happily.
The steam engine appeared, and Ming Jian immediately ordered all shipyards to be equipped with steam ironclad ships, and during the transition period, the sails were still kept, and in case the steam engine broke down, it could still sail back.
Therefore, the manufacturing process is multi-point procedure. The tonnage of the ironclad ship can be increased, the power is more sufficient, and the natural load capacity is larger.
A month later, the first batch of fifty steam-ironclad ships set out from Guangzhou for the country of Liuqiu.
After the sea trials, it was very successful, and only three steam ironclads broke down on the way. However, the materials transported are more than ordinary ironclad ships, and they save time.
Subsequently, this batch of steam ironclad ships was taken away by Zheng Sen, he led 10,000 horses, and marched to Australia, Ming Jian also sent him a map, Zheng Sen followed the direction on the map, and marched directly to Australia.
Five months later, Zheng Sen sent someone to deliver the news that the army had captured Australia, and that there were more than 8,000 natives in that land, all of whom were controlled by the Song army. Zheng Sen adopted a policy of sticks and carrots, killing the disobedient natives while allowing the obedient natives to reclaim the land and prepare to grow crops.
Zheng Sen also reported the area of the land, it was really vast, but it was very desolate, no one planted crops, there were few wild crops, there were grasslands, forests, animals everywhere, and his men and horses were hunting and eating meat every day.
Zheng Sen asked Ming Jian to send someone to develop Australia, he had a lot of appetite and hoped for a population of five million.
It's a pity that Ming Jian can give him so many people now? The Western Regions are so big, there are not so many people, and the urgency of Australia's development is not strong.
Therefore, Ming Jian still asked Li Ruoshui to organize one million people for Zheng Sen, of which 200,000 men came out of the Great Song Dynasty and 800,000 women came out of the day.
Ming Jian sent letters to Java and Luzon by the way, asking them to immigrate all the local aborigines to Australia to work as coolies and develop Australia.
These aborigines went to Australia and could play a better role.
Ming Jian also sent a letter to the Byzantine Emperor John II, asking him to sell all the captives to the Great Song Dynasty, ten taels of silver per person, and the Great Song Dynasty came to pick up the goods.
A month later, John II replied, agreeing to Mingjian's request, and immediately asked Mingjian to send someone to pick up the goods, and now they had captured more than 30,000 Germans.
Ming Jian then ordered Liang Xing of the Fuxing Society to lead the army to Byzantium to pick up the goods, and asked him to send the captives directly to Australia.
