Chapter 264: Questioning the Restoration Society (Part II)
"Su Baiyi doesn't speak, it's really the power of fire and water, you can see from the name of my big car called train!" Su Baiyi arched his hand towards everyone.
But it is estimated that not many people believe it.
Zhang Shize, the prince of the British princess, even walked up to Su Baiyi and pulled the corner of his clothes, and whispered: "Mr. Su, do you want me to send someone to drive this kid out?" β
Su Baiyi shook his head!
If he really drives out the territory now, it will be extremely detrimental to his subsequent auctions.
Kang Hui breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Cheng Kaikai next to him and said, "Brother Cheng, if this is said in the Jiajing period, maybe some people will believe it!" β
When it comes to the power of fire and water, the most reminiscent of it is the power of the five elements.
Why?
Water and fire are all among the five elements.
When you think of the five elements, then there is a lot of room for imagination, and what do the five elements have to do with it?
Ghosts!
Emperor Jiajing believed in Taoism, and the affairs of the country were all asked to the ghosts, gods and gods if there was any indecision, so Kang Hui said that Su Baiyi's words were believed in the Jiajing period, which is a kind of irony in itself.
Cheng Kaikai could only smile and said, "Mr. Su is afraid that he has a last resort!" β
In fact, I have already tacitly acquiesced in my heart that after Su Baiyi's railway is repaired, he will still use manpower to pull the car.
"Then please ask Master Su!" Mao Bijiang watched the people around him talk louder and louder, and he was overjoyed, arched his hands and said respectfully: "What is the power of fire and water?" How does this power of fire and water propel the train? I have long heard that Yuyuan pays attention to the application of what it has learned, and explores the great truth of heaven and earth, and I hope that Master Su will tell us about the great truth of the power of water and fire! β
Su Baiyi sneered.
In fact, the theoretical knowledge of steam engines is not complicated, but the lack of air pressure theory has led to the backwardness of research in this area. He believed that with a slight explanation, there would be someone among the more than 100 people present who would understand.
But he can't do that!
At least not yet!
Because whether it is the railway, the subsequent ships, and many artifacts in the future, the key is this steam engine technology, how can he share it with others?
"I'm sorry, turning the power of water and fire into a driving force is the core skill of my Yu Academy, and this official can't say much!" Su Baiyi frowned and looked at everyone, facing the eyes of those who were either questioning or curious, he still shook his head, but said confidently: "Su Baiyi does what he says, this method of transforming the power of water and fire into driving power, Yuyuan has mastered the doorway, please believe me." β
"That'...... Please forgive the students for offending! Mao Bijiang's face was slightly red, as if he had drunk a glass of freshly brewed wine, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his narrow eyes also exuded a confident light: "It's not that the students are suspicious, but this matter is related to our interests. Where does this profit come from? β
"I said it's the power of fire and water, it's really the power of fire and water, if you don't believe it, can you dare to see it?" Su Baiyi snorted coldly.
"How to bet?" Mao Bijiang ignored Chen Zhenhui's small actions of pulling him, looked at Su Baiyi and asked.
"If I don't use manpower and really use the power of water and fire, you will lose, if I Su Baiyi does not use the power of water and fire, I will lose!" Su Baiyi said in a straight voice: "Today, as evidence, if the official loses, Yuyuan will personally buy a share of the railway as a lottery head to give you to venture out of the territory, if you lose...... Hehe......"
Su Baiyi looked at Mao Bijiang, his face was calm.
A share of railway shares is at least 500,000 taels of silver, and although Mao Bijiang's family is rich, it is far from reaching this level. His face was flushed, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"What, don't you dare to bet?" Su Baiyi's face turned cold: "Or you can't afford the corresponding money at all, if you can't afford the corresponding money, what are you doing at my railway share singing and selling conference?" Isn't it a deliberate attempt to cause trouble? β
"I bet!" Mao Bijiang's face was flushed by him, and he couldn't hold his face for a while: "If Lord Su really has the ability to use the power of water and fire, what if someone gambles with you?" β
"Well, all of you are witnesses!" Su Baiyi waved his finger and pointed at the people around him, smiling slightly.
"But seeing is believing!" Mao Bijiang sneered and said, "Master Su won't let students wait until the railway is built, okay?" If the adults can't use the power of fire and water at that time, the railway shares will be worthless, then I don't dare to gamble. β
"What do you want?" Su Baiyi asked.
"The student still says that seeing is believing, and you want to see with your own eyes how the power of fire and water drives the train?" He was sure that Su Baiyi couldn't do it.
Are you kidding?
Confucius also said: I respect ghosts and gods and stay away!
Are there really ghosts and gods in this world?
Maybe there is, maybe not, Confucius didn't dare to confirm it, you can blow it out in a mere way, and it is worthy of the name of Xiao Zhuge of Guide Mansion.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if there is the power of ghosts and gods in this world, there is the technique of the five elements!
But can you Su Baiyi drive ghosts and gods?
Can you let the water and fire pull the car for you in broad daylight?
!
Su Baiyi just laughed, the moment he said the power of fire and water, he knew that he had misunderstood! Not only did I take the liberty of misunderstanding, but I am afraid that everyone in the entire venue misunderstood.
To be precise, they all linked the power of fire and water with the five elements and ghosts.
In fact, what is the relationship between the steam engine and the five elements of ghosts and gods?
But he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to say it, he smiled and said to Mao Bijiang: "Naturally, since you have made a bet, I will definitely show you, so tomorrow, tomorrow in my house, this official will show you the power of water and fire." Okay, below, let's go down and show it, and the official will tell you about the three benefits of this railway, and the three difficulties! β
Three benefits and three difficulties!
It refers to the benefits that the construction of the railway will bring to the whole country and investors, and the trilemma is naturally the difficulty in the process of railway construction!
Su Baiyi said as he led people down the zigzag corridor.
Cheng Kaikai lowered his voice below, and whispered to Kang Hui without a match.
"Don't worry!" Cheng Kaikai patted Kang Hui on the shoulder: "Brother Kang, if I had hesitated before, but since Master Su dares to bet, he will definitely win, it seems that this power of water and fire should not be with the help of the five elements as we think, but a kind of mechanism technique!" Su Baiyi also told him that he could produce a firepower-driven car earlier, but Cheng Kaikai didn't care about it at that time.
"Really?" Kang Hui was still a little hesitant.
"Yes!" Cheng Kaikai said: "I don't have much contact with Master Su, but I know him well. Sumayu Academy advocates the application of what he has learned, and he never does anything that he is not sure of. Master Su had made a bet with our parents in the Guide Mansion before, that is, Lord Qin, and the Guide people called that Huoshentai preaching, you have heard of it, and won six thousand taels in one time! β
"I know that!" Thinking of the famous Vulcantai, Kang Hui's tightly knit brows involuntarily soothed a little. Before the appearance of the atmospheric theory, everyone also thought that Su Baiyi was talking nonsense, and even when Kang Hui first heard it, he thought that Su Baiyi was a man who only spoke his tongue.
The result?
It turns out that the atmosphere is there!
And the atmosphere has great power, and dozens of horses can't help a bowl of atmosphere.
When he thinks of horses and the atmosphere, Kang Hui suddenly blesses his soul: horses, atmosphere, great power, trains, railways, fire, water! All of this suddenly appeared in his mind, and he seemed to be aware of the connection, but for a moment he didn't know what the connection was.
But there must be a connection!
He looked at Su Baiyi, who was dancing with confidence in front of him, and felt that the young man in front of him must be able to drive the train with the power of water and fire.
"There was also the time in the capital, I was not in front of me, it is said that that time was there today!" Cheng Kaikai was still muttering in a low voice beside him: "What did Master Su say about that time, what kind of heliocentric and earth-centric phenomena did Lord Tang make a bet with Lord Tang of Qin Tianjian, guess what?" As a result, under the witness of His Majesty, he won another 10,000 taels. The great truth of that discussion is said to go straight to heaven and earth, and the villain can't comprehend one ten-thousandth, but the villain feels that Lord Su's hand is getting more and more ruthless, the first time is six thousand taels, the second time is ten thousand taels, and this time it is five hundred thousand taels directly......
"That's it!" Su Baiyi took the microphone and laughed as he spoke: "The difficulties in construction and employment in the three difficulties have already been mentioned, and the officials have also thought of corresponding measures for these problems, that is, the talents cultivated by our Yuyuan." Now, let me talk about the last difficulty in the construction of the railway! β
After a slight pause, he drank saliva: "The last difficulty is the steel difficulty!" As we all know, from Huai'an Mansion in Nanzhili to Xi'an Mansion in Shaanxi, the entire Longhai Railway is 2,000 miles long, but how much iron is needed for these four rails, do you know? β
Naturally, the people around you don't know.
Su Baiyi didn't sell it, took a deep breath, and stretched out four fingers: "40,000 catties, after the construction of this railway, it needs 40,000 catties of iron, and it is also high-grade steel, it is 100 steel, and only 100 steels can withstand the crushing of the train over the years without destruction."
However, although 40,000 catties of steel is difficult, we have solved it! I'm not afraid to tell you that the eunuch Cao Huachun Cao Gong, the former Sili palm seal, has been stationed in Nanjing Taiping Mansion, specializing in iron ore mining, and a shipload of ships has been transported to our Guide Mansion, where the iron ore will be smelted into pig iron, and then smelted into 100 steel, and finally cast into rails, which can be used! β
"Lord Su!" Mao Bijiang came out again: "The student still has a question, is this steel difficult, has it been solved now, then these 40,000 catties of steel, I don't know how long it will take to produce it!" β
"In principle, it has been resolved!" Su Baiyi said: "40,000 catties of 100 pounds of steel is not a small number, and the steel workshop is ready to add a thousand workers, I'm afraid it will take three years to produce it." β
"A thousand? Three years? Mao Bijiang smiled and said, "Isn't Master Su deceiving us again?" β
