When the two of them sat down again, Yang Sanda regained his composure and was very calm. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info may have seen a lot of the world because of his experience in foreign countries for many years, which made him look down on it a lot, and he was not worried about Yang Lin's identity as the hall master, but Yang Lin was the light in his eyes, and the light was continuous, waiting for the following.

"Hall Master, when I came back from France this time, I not only brought a steam engine, but also its structural drawings and various instructions, how to make it?"

In an instant, a wave of joy welled up in Yang Lin's chest, full of surging meaning, almost uncontrollable, and couldn't help but come out: "Really, what you said is true!?" ”

Yang Sanda felt that the new hall master was still too young and lacked self-control, and he didn't believe what Zhai Dakun said, and felt that Zhai Dakun's words were a bit exaggerated, and Yang Lin's performance that night was not so prominent, and it was not so dazzling, which made people look sideways.

For Yang Sanda, isn't it just a small steam engine? He brought back more good things, much more advanced than the steam engine, as for that? Although he thought so in his heart, Yang Sanda did not show the slightest disrespect, after all, Yang Lin was still his hall master, the head of the deaf and dumb hall.

Whether it is the deaf and dumb hall or Zhai Dakun, they all have great kindness to him. It is reasonable, he Yang Sanda will not have any presumptuous attitude towards Yang Lin, he must always maintain a respectful heart, dare not have the slightest arrogance, even if he is bathed in the democratic culture of the West, but he is still Chinese in his bones, has the courtesy, righteousness and shame of the Chinese, is humble and respectful, and flows with Chinese thinking.

Yang Sanda straightened his body and said calmly: "Yes, hall master, what I said is true." You wait a few days, and I'll make one for you after I've prepared some materials, and equip it in the fan system. ”

"Haha, it would be great if that was the case! If it was only pulled by a donkey, my fan would not only spin slowly, but also become unstable after a little longer! Yang Lin stroked his palms and smiled, as if he said with a lot of emotion.

At this time, as if he had thought of something, Yang Lin's spirit suddenly lifted up, and he said with some urging: "That, Sanda, since you have been in France for so long, you must know a lot about European countries, can you tell me some of the customs there, science and technology will be better!" ”

Speaking of his study abroad experience, the situation in the West, especially in science and technology, Yang Sanda couldn't help but straighten his chest, filled with a little self-satisfaction, a sense of superiority, and began to talk eloquently.

"Speaking of European countries, we have to mention the Italian Renaissance, which made various academic circles in the West sprout like mushrooms after a rain and grow rapidly. Especially in the field of scientific invention and creation, various outstanding talents have emerged one after another, such as Galileo and Newton, the representatives of mechanics, and the French physicist Denis Barpen, who first invented the steam engine....."

Speaking of history, Yang Lin suddenly had an urge to yawn and became drowsy. Hearing this, he almost subconsciously shouted: "Wasn't it Watt who invented the steam engine?" How did it become that what Baben? ”

Yang Sanda was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Yang Lin to know Watt, and said with some astonishment: "Uh... Well, yes, Watt was the first to apply the steam engine to industry. The steam engine I brought back this time was bought from Watt's company. ”

"Oh... I see, then you continue. Yang Lin showed a suddenly enlightened expression, stopped talking, and motioned for Yang Sanda to continue.

As time passed, the content of Yang Sanda's lectures became more and more inclined to history and literature, and began to become very boring and boring.

At this moment, Yang Sanda's unintentional words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made Yang Lin's whole person wake up suddenly, and his spirit was lifted, and he let go of the fight and continued, with a look of excitement.

"Speaking of which, I admire a French friend, who actually had the whimsical idea of applying the steam engine to a ship, and really made him do it, and named it the Piroscafi, which can be said to be a sensation throughout Paris, and became famous."

Yang Lin's eyes widened, looking at Yang Sanda directly, his throat couldn't help but squirm, swallowed his saliva, took over the conversation, and his face was shocked and unbelievable.

"What!? How can it be? If someone really applied the steam engine to ships, the merchant ships and fleets of the foreigners would not be what they are now, relying on human oars and wind direction to accelerate. ”

Even though Yang Lin frequently interrupted his speech and came out from time to time, Yang Sanda did not get angry, but explained: "No way, Bridge Frye is not very good, and those French Royal Society did not have the honor of being a member of his whim." ”

"It was not approved by the President of the Royal Society, and the trial time was very short, the coal consumption was very large, and the speed was slow, so that the merchants could not see the existence of interests and thought that it would be difficult to succeed."

Therefore, due to the lack of a large amount of financial support in the later period, his research and improvement of the steam engine ship project has not made great progress so far, and he can only study there alone. There is also a lack of practical application practice, resulting in slower and more abnormal progress. ”

Yang Sanda sighed and did not continue to tell, sighing for Qiao Fry. Yang Lin was not, his eyes suddenly lit up, his heart pounded, he was very excited, the secret opportunity came, he really had what he wanted! The last thing I lack now is financial resources, what I lack is talent, and I have the intention of recruiting, but I don't immediately say what I mean in my chest.

"Sanda, I think you must have brought a lot of Western science books with you when you came back this time, especially about the invention and creation of foreigners, can you lend me a look? Especially about the drawings and production instructions of the steam engine, let me also record a copy. ”

"No problem, hall master, if it weren't for the hurry of coming back this time, you can't bring too many things, those are single copies, and I have no plans to go to Europe in recent years, so it's no problem to give them all to the hall master."

It didn't seem to hear that the other party had no plans to go to Europe in the near future, Yang Lin's interest was undiminished, and he asked hopefully: "So, if you go to France, can you invite Bridge Frye here, I will strongly support his research project and provide unlimited funding." As long as it's not too much, I can accommodate his various requests. ”

Yang Sanda thought for a moment, stroked his chin with one hand, and groaned with his chin: "En... If the hall master can really support Bridge Frye and provide a lot of funds, with my relationship with him, it shouldn't be a big problem to invite someone over. ”

Yang Lin was overjoyed, almost cheered, and couldn't help but say, "That, Sanda, can you bring some other things back by the way?" Especially those books on natural sciences, it would be better to have relevant specialists! ”

Frowning slightly, Yang Sanda did not refuse Yang Lin, his face was embarrassed, and he hesitated again and again before saying: "These are all easy to do, with my years in France, as long as the conditions are rich enough, there is basically no problem to bring some people back." ”

"But to bring so many people at once, you must have one or two ships of your own, otherwise you will not be able to carry those things, and you will not be able to bring those people back. Moreover, the ship must be above average, otherwise it will not be able to cross the ocean at all, and the hull will not be able to withstand the fierce lapping of the waves. ”

Yang Lin suddenly felt relieved and relaxed, as long as he agreed to go to Europe. For Yang Lin, any problem that money can solve is not a problem, he Yang Lin has money. The treasures of the Mixed Yuan Gang, the few boxes of silver obtained in Kongtong Mountain, and the 500,000 taels of silver obtained by Thunder intercepting the Green Gang cargo ship, all made Yang Lin worth a lot of money.

At this time, as if he had thought of something, Yang Lin became worried, and said worriedly: "Sanda, bringing back so many people and things at one time, and loading one or two big ships, will it cause many obstructions and difficulties for the French government, so that our ship cannot set sail and take away relevant personnel." ”

As soon as he heard this, Yang Sanda had a relaxed face, no sense of worry, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Hall Master, these are not things. As long as there are enough funds and personnel and related things are ready, then I can bring it back, unless there is a storm at sea and the ship capsizes and the ship is destroyed and people die. ”

Seeing the disbelief on Yang Lin's face, he talked about it again, with a bit of showing off and being complacent.

"It doesn't matter, I know Napoleon, the most powerful man in France today!" (To be continued.) )
