Chapter 239: The Steam Engine

The envoy waited in the pass for year after year, and finally got the opportunity to see the light of day again, but his desire to enter Beijing to meet the Son of Heaven of the Northern Wei Dynasty was ruthlessly rejected by Chen Yu, Chen Yuxian euphemistically stated the fact that all the lands bordering the Northern Wei Empire and the Bada belonged to him, including the entire northern grassland region, and both the Rouran people and the Gaoche people were their vassals. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

Then it changed into a domineering way, which was the same as the means of deterring the grassland people, using elite equipment with powerful troops, and gunpowder with power that made the disgusting envoy almost scared N to prove that all this Chen Yu said was true, and it also showed that Chen Yu did have the strength to stand on the same height as the queen of the Disgusting Empire, and talk on an equal footing.

From the initial disdain, doubt, and surprise to the final shock, in short, the envoy immediately expressed his great recognition of Chen Yu's strength, and after seeing the power of gunpowder, he showed an extremely friendly attitude, and directly set an example on behalf of their queen, and was absolutely willing to live in peace with General Chen, so that Chen Yu's plan to open up the Silk Road was also fully affirmed by the ambassador, but she couldn't be the master.

You read that right, it's her, not him! The messenger is a woman, Chen Yu didn't see it at first, and even after the other party talked for a long time, Chen Yu and others didn't find out that the other party was a woman, it was really that the messenger was too strong, and what made Chen Yu and others unacceptable was that this too strong female warrior actually cut off her proud "chest" weapon in order not to affect her flexibility and combat ability......

Chen Yu actually didn't want to exchange and trade with the disgusting people so early, if today is about to enter a period of chaos, commerce will inevitably stagnate again, and it would be a good thing to do business with the Western Regions, but there are not many goods in his hands.

As the name suggests, the Silk Road mainly traded goods in silk, and in the north, where the economy has withered for many years, most people have just been able to eat. How can the people go to raise silkworms and engage in the silk weaving industry, the silk weaving industry in the north is much more backward than the south, which can be seen from the four famous embroidery, this industry is obviously the world in the south.

The silk weaving industry is also quite developed in Shudi. However, that is the territory of Xiao Ji, the son of Emperor Xiao Yan of Liangwu, and now Xiao Ji has completely turned Yizhou into his back garden, Xiao Yan doesn't even know that his precious son has long been the king of the mountain, waiting for the opportunity to complete his dream of being an emperor.

As for Jianghuai and other places. It was a place where the two dynasties often fought for the use of troops, and the extent of destruction there can be imagined, and it was a dream to get valuable and usable things from the rags of Jianghuai.

As for the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention, Chen Yu wants to buy silk from Xiao Yan and then sell it, if it is a small amount, it is actually very easy, but it is almost impossible to use a large amount, not to mention whether Xiao Yan is willing or not, there are a lot of spheres of influence along the way, and he must dredge up the relationship and increase protection. The cost is simply too high.

Chen Yu sent Sima Ziru to Yizhou for development, a very important reason is that he wants to find a way to establish trade with Yizhou before he is unable to conquer and take Yizhou, so that the benefits to himself are too much, not only can he make a lot of money, but at the same time, it is much easier to infiltrate and develop in Yizhou.

A large part of the reason why Chen Yu is in a hurry to develop in the Western Regions also comes from the natural disasters not far from Guanzhong, and Chen Yu is very eager to introduce new species to change the soil environment.

During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions and introduced walnuts, grapes, carrots, and this sweaty BMW under Chen Yu's crotch, and later introduced pomegranates. During the Three Kingdoms period, apples were imported from Southeast Asia, and during the Jin Dynasty, jasmine and eggplant were imported from India, and Chen Yu remembers that China would soon bring spinach, figs, pistachios, mung beans and watermelons from the west. Chen Yu wants these things to enter China as soon as possible.

Although these species are not very significant for the time being, and they don't seem to be of much help to the disaster in Guanzhong, they are also born out of nowhere, after all, corn and potatoes, which are really useful, are not available at all, and potatoes are really good things, which are easy to grow and have high yields. Able to feed a large number of people, although the potato has long been discovered and used by humans, it exists today in the Americas......

Today's navigation conditions, to put it mildly, it would be good to be able to reach Japan smoothly, then I am afraid that it will have to rely on good luck not to encounter a big storm, and there is no need to think about it at all when going to the Americas, it is definitely to die, so Chen Yu mobilized Huaishuo's most shrewd carpenter Li, as well as some young and capable people in his Tianen iron mine, in short, Chen Yu called people who always knew that they had good brains and good craftsmanship.

Chen Yu has invented a lot of shocking things before, okay! It's not that all inventions are plagiarized, but this plagiarism is more eye-catching.

Chen Yu spent the second half of the day talking about the working principle of the steam engine, although everyone still seems to understand something, but at least these people are like Yuwentai and them, they worship this general very much, they quickly believe it, this is also an important prerequisite for the next step of practice, if a person does not believe in you at all, he will never be able to make any inventions according to your ideas.

Now Chen Yu's purpose is just to make the simplest steam engine, as long as these people can see the real product and make them convinced of it, the most important thing is just a pressure cooker, as for the later development Chen Yu will only provide help and advice, and will not do everything himself, he doesn't want to curb the creativity of these people.

Like the separating condenser, setting up an insulation layer outside the cylinder, lubricating the piston with oil, planetary gears, parallel motion connecting rod mechanism, centrifugal governor, throttle valve, pressure gauge, etc., Chen Yu will explain their role in writing tool parts, but Chen Yu will not be able to make the actual production, because he is very busy after all......

When these people saw the power of steam, they finally let everyone know what is the prime mover, and that energy is not only generated by living things, but also by science that the power generated by living things is much greater than that produced by living things.

Chen Yu is doing everything to indirectly promote the pace of industrialization, of course, the role of the steam engine is also very much, industry and agriculture can be used, especially in the navigation industry, if there is a huge ironclad steamship and mature navigation technology, then it is not a dream to go to South America to get back important crop seeds and rubber trees, once there is rubber, the world will change faster.

When Chen Yu was engaged in invention and creation, the envoy of disgust also embarked on the road home, and there was a foreign devil named Paul on the road with him, Chen Yu needed this foreigner to go back and promote the situation of the Eastern Continent with his pope, it would be great if the other party was willing to shoot more learned priests, these missionaries looked more like practical encyclopedias than the old pedants of Middle-earth.

In addition, Chen Yu also sent his general Yang Zhong to set off with the mission, he needs to know more about the Western Regions, instead of listening to the nonsense of those foreign devils, so he must send people he really trusts and can do, which can be regarded as laying a good foundation for his own use of troops in the Western Regions in the future, Chen Qingzhi and Yang Zhong are also old acquaintances, these two often met during the Northern Expedition, the environment in the Western Regions is complicated, this white-robed general who is good at disrupting wars, if he doesn't go to see it, it will be a real loss.
