readx;?” The potential of this steam engine is still enormous. www.biquge.info If we can continue to improve the material so that the cylinder can withstand more pressure, and the tighter the seal, the greater the power, it is still possible to use the steam engine to pull tens of thousands of pounds of things. What's more, if we can make the steam engine smaller, fit it on wheels and let the car run on its own, then it will be convenient for us to travel. What Zhang Chu thought of at this time was actually the image of a giant tank dragging tracks and emitting black smoke and cannons and machine guns on it, but this was too violent and shocking. So I have to say that it is for the convenience of people to travel. He was afraid that if Song Yingxing was a pacifist and didn't like killing weapons, it would be bad.

"The car that can run by oneself is rumored to be a myth that Zhuge Wuhou used wooden oxen and horses to transport military funds, and now it seems that with this steam engine, it is really not a problem to let the car run by itself." Song Yingxing quickly figured out the connection between the steam engine and the car running by itself, although he didn't quite understand what Zhang Chu said about the cylinder and pressure, he was already full of confidence in the car running by itself.

"That's the way things are, once we grasp the rules, there are many surprises waiting for us, and we will definitely be able to go to the sky and the earth, go deep into the sea, and even fly to the stars." At this time, Zhang Chu thought of the scene of the conquest of nature by human beings in later generations.

"Can we see this?" Song Yingxing now admires Zhang Chu very much, and he is not very skeptical of what he said, but he is not sure when all this will be realized.

"We will see that as long as everyone unites and works hard to survive the most difficult moment, our China will always be the enviable kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and we can have many things that will shock others." Zhang Chu said very sure, he knew that the world was about to enter a new industrialized dynasty, but it was a pity that the Ming Dynasty did not survive this last moment. The Ming Dynasty was replaced by the barbaric and ignorant Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Chinese nation was left behind when the world entered the industrial civilization. But now it's different, both the Later Jin and Huang Taiji have been killed, and the Manchus will not appear. Next, it will be up to us how fast the Chinese nation can go on the right path.

Zhang Chu's words made everyone present have a sense of urgency, these old people of the Ming Dynasty originally lived in a prosperous and powerful life, but they didn't expect that after a Houjin, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to raise their heads, and then there were continuous natural disasters for many years, which made people feel as if God had abandoned the people of the land of China. The people of the whole country can't even eat, let alone how powerful the country can be, the Ming Dynasty is about to perish, and many people of insight have felt it, and what is even more terrible is that they will die in barbarians like Houjin. Fortunately, Zhang Chu crossed the birth and wiped out the Houjin cleanly, and the orthodoxy of the Chinese nation was continued. Everyone is now secretly determined to do something for the Chinese nation.

Song Yingxing was not satisfied after Zhang Chu took him to visit, and asked Zhang Chu for permission to start the inspection in the various factories of the security army, and finally positioned his main work on how to let the steam engine drive the car to run on its own, and he completed the research on increasing the yield of crops given to him by Zhang Chu, while trying to improve the steam engine. In order to support Song Yingxing's work, Zhang Chu transferred a large number of people from all over the country to the Academy of Sciences, allowing them to work while studying, and the Academy of Sciences became lively all of a sudden. Zhang Chu has invested a lot of money in research work, and has also greatly improved the treatment of researchers, constantly improving their lives, Zhang Chu does not want to find these elites by himself and end up exhausted to death.

Time flies quickly, if Emperor Chongzhen does not die, it will be the spring of the eighth year of Chongzhen. Now the land of China is in a chaotic war, not only the peasant uprisings in various places, but also the former Ming Dynasty generals who have military power in the areas north of the Yangtze River also have their own ideas. In order to show the legitimacy of their regime, they brought in vassal kings from all over the country to be emperors, and they even made several princes, because the prince was lost from Wu Xiang's hands, no one knew where to go, and the princes made by these people are even more confusing.

Wu Xiang originally had a good hand in his hand, with both the powerful Guan Ning Army and the prince in his hand. But God finally played a joke with Wu Xiang, Guan Ning's army lost most of them under the invasion of the plague, and the combat effectiveness of those who survived was greatly reduced.

At this time, God has not put away the meaning of the famine, the hungry people who have survived the harsh winter have no food in the spring, and more people have joined the thieves, Li Zicheng's men and horses finally stopped the plague cost-effective, and the team gradually recovered its vitality, with Henan as the center and gathered hundreds of thousands of horses, becoming a powerful force in the north.

At this time, the Jiangnan region was not very peaceful, and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty who stayed in Nanjing finally found out the vassal king Zhu Yousong, who had the blood of the Ming Emperor, and after some competition, Zhu Yousong was elected to the throne of the emperor. Many people saw that the new dynasty in Jiangnan represented by Zhu Yousong had a large area of rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and there were several generals such as Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zeqing commanding nearly one million troops.

Zhang Chu was not very concerned about these struggles for the throne, and now all his energy was devoted to restoring production beyond the Great Wall.

The first to rejuvenate is the pasture established by Zhang Chu in Mongolia, through the vigorous promotion of green storage feed, so that more cattle and sheep have passed the cold winter, and when spring comes, the sheep appear on the grassland, people's faces are full of smiles, the grass grows taller, livestock will breed in large numbers, and the days of starvation are about to pass.

In the northeast, there is a vast area of black soil, which is an excellent soil for growing crops. When winter is not suitable for farming, the industrious people are not idle, they select seeds to build farming tools to prepare them for the beginning of spring. When spring arrives, the land of Tohoku is full of busy people. They were workers on the farms of the Northeast, and they were also warriors to defend their homeland, and Zhang Chu's defeat of the Houjin allowed people to grow food in peace without fear that the fruits of their labor would be taken away when they were ripe.

Zhang Chu handed them knives and guns and let them train at any time, which made them feel more at ease.

Zhang Chu devoted the most energy throughout the winter to the shipyard in Lushun, setting off a ship-building frenzy among the security forces. With the defeat of Houjin and the control of the security forces in the northeast, a large amount of high-quality timber was transported to Lushun in the deep mountains of the northeast, and the shipyard in Lushun continued to expand, and a large number of ships were built there. Not only in the northeast, but even the shipyards on Shandong and Liuheng Island are desperately building warships. At the same time, the security forces are working overtime in the arsenal, producing artillery for the ships.

Zhang Chu's goal was clear, to increase the strength of the fleet, eliminate Zheng Zhilong's power at sea, and open up the passage to the South Seas. (To be continued.) )
