――――

After the early dynasty, Zhu Youxiao went to inspect as usual, although he encountered an assassination last time, but for Zhu Youxiao, it was not very terrible to feel dead. People who have already crossed over once, and many things have been seen more thoroughly. Anyway, Hades wants him to die tomorrow, and he has to do his duty today.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao didn't run out to inspect stupidly, but brought several masters. Since the last assassination, Zhu Youxiao has asked the factory guards to recruit masters everywhere. However, in the end, only a martial artist named Li Shiyuan was recruited, this person has practiced martial arts to the level of a grandmaster, a spear can pierce the flies on the window paper, but the window paper is not broken, and the musket is not up to him, he can sense it before others shoot, and his temperament looks gentle and elegant, quite a bit of martial arts.

And Wang Jincheng, who was meritorious in escorting last time, has now been appointed as a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, awarded the three-grade martial arts, and rewarded with a thousand taels of gold.

With the protection of these two internal boxing masters, Zhu Youxiao can be said to have obtained it everywhere. After all, there are not many assassins in general, and for this master of internal boxing, few people can beat them with cold weapons. Those who can beat them will not be able to give their lives to those powerful people who want to assassinate the emperor.

Such an internal boxing master is almost invincible in complex terrain. The only thing they are afraid of is being pointed at random guns in the open terrain, although they can dodge one or two guns, but they can't dodge dozens or hundreds of random guns. After all, they are also flesh and blood, and in fact they are also afraid of bullets. When you are pointed at a gun in an open place, there is nowhere to hide.

However, muskets are strictly controlled, and the security forces in the New Deal area are relatively strong, especially at the feet of the Son of Heaven. The control of firearms is even stricter to the extreme, especially after the last assassination, the control of weapons and firearms by factory guards and police has become even stricter.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao's Luan was equipped with steel plates, and there were two internal boxing masters to protect him, and a group of forbidden soldiers followed, so it was very safe to go out to inspect.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty is not the kind of place in Europe that is divided into so many countries. Committed a crime in the territory of Daming, I don't know where to run if I want to, I don't know where to run, organize assassinations, it's okay once or twice once in a while, but there is no way to do it if there are more.

The mastermind of the last assassination has not yet been identified, and it is obvious that the mastermind behind the assassination is very cautious. However, Zhu Youxiao didn't bother to check, it was obvious that it was made by those Jiangnan scholars and chaebols, and he would clean up these guys in the future.

But after that assassination. The factory guards also attached importance to those unemployed martial artists, and began to absorb a large number of those martial artists into the factory guards.

Those standard martial artists are now being made useless by the security company, and some factory guards are willing to eat, so they are naturally very willing, what's wrong with being a court eagle dog? It is much better to have an official body than to run around the rivers and lakes.

Even those grandmaster-level figures with strong martial arts have already begun to take refuge in the imperial court.

The folk internal fist is actually developed from the martial arts in the army. The Ming Dynasty was a very important foundation period, for example, Qi Jiguang wrote a boxing book popular folk and military.

Nowadays, Zhu Youxiao is vigorously developing firearms. In the future, if these martial artists of the inner fist do not defect to the imperial court, or serve as bodyguards, it will be really difficult to earn a living with martial arts.

This situation is somewhat similar to the situation after the popularization of firearms in the late Qing Dynasty, when the martial arts masters in the late Qing Dynasty either served as bodyguards for warlords or became Kuomintang spies. Some of the spies are highly skilled in martial arts. Hiding in difficult terrain, it is useless for the army to rush in. During the War of Liberation, those spies were often blocked in houses by the army and swept alive with machine guns.

Now in the New Deal area, after the continuous encirclement and suppression of the army and the armed police, where are there any unsightly bandits and bandits who dare to rob their homes?

There are no more bandits. Those standard martial artists are naturally unemployed, and one by one they have to support their families, and those who practice martial arts do not see through the red dust and the world like cultivators, and it is very normal to take refuge in the imperial court.

Zhu Youxiao went all the way to the machinery factory, and yesterday received a report that the first relatively safe high-pressure steam engine had been manufactured not long ago.

Previously, due to many limitations, the steam engine was not high-pressure, the coal consumption was relatively high, and the power was relatively low. The only good thing is that it doesn't explode in the event of an accident.

The high-pressure steam engine was manufactured half a year ago, but the high temperature and high pressure led to an explosion. Half a year later, a safety valve was finally designed, which can safely release the air pressure when the air pressure is too high. And a meter to detect air pressure was also installed, which, although relatively simple, greatly reduced the accident rate. Of course, it doesn't mean that accidents won't happen, because sometimes accidents will happen if the parts are damaged.

"Your Majesty, this is the new design drawing, the cylinder and the condenser have been separated, and the cylinder is designed with a sandwich that can heat the cylinder wall with steam and reduce the heat loss of condensation. The condenser is equipped with an air extraction pump to remove air and water. Nowadays, compared with the atmospheric steam engine, the power of the high-pressure steam engine has been increased by nearly three times, and the coal consumption has also been reduced by about one time. Although there are certain safety issues, as long as maintenance and inspection are in place, the risk is still controllable. Accompanied by Wang Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Youxiao entered the machinery factory and saw a steam engine that had just been manufactured.

"Open it and take a look." Zhu You said to Wang Wei.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Wei hurriedly ordered someone to turn on the steam engine, and soon the steam engine in front of him was not very big, and there was a roar and a steam eruption.

Boom, boom, the steam engine began to work continuously, the steam engine was connected to a pump, and as the steam engine was driven, the water in the pool was continuously pumped out, much faster than the steam engine used before.

Zhu Youxiao's expression suddenly became excited, and the high-pressure steam engine was finally available.

"Okay, okay." Zhu Youxiao applauded repeatedly, but a group of people didn't let him get too close to the steam engine, in case of a boiler explosion. Although, in general, it is impossible to have a boiler explosion, after all, the machines are inspected, and all the components are fine.

But I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what if!

Zhu Youxiao watched from a distance, and the eyebrows were smiling.

"There is a reward, and all the people involved in R&D are rewarded." Zhu Youxiao happily announced, although he didn't say anything about the reward, but the members of the R&D team all knelt down happily and thanked him, and the emperor has always been stingy with the reward of these scientific researchers.

No wonder Zhu You's school association is happy to be like this, with a high-temperature steam engine, it means that the industrial revolution is about to kick off, and a great era of steam roaring is coming.

Steam engines, with reduced power and coal consumption, can then be installed on textile machinery and can be used in a wide range of other industrial fields as well.

The high-temperature steam engine is already there, the train? Steamship?

Obviously, it won't be long before these things will appear. The scientific research supported by the government, coupled with the guidance of Zhu Youxiao, the scientific research direction of the traverser, is simply too fast. (To be continued.) )
