"These people know us quite well......

-- Those "die-hard elements" of the Ming Dynasty got together, and there is no doubt that their words and deeds were reported to Zhao Lide's desk soon after. And Ade couldn't help laughing after seeing Wang Pu's remarks, thinking that these Ming Dynasty Jinshi really deserved to be the elite people who crossed the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and horses and squeezed out of countless talents. Although due to the too narrow content of learning, the idea of guiding zhì is often rigid. But in terms of vision and judgment, he is still a very outstanding person in this era.

Even though they had never participated in the plenary meeting of the Qiong Navy and knew nothing about their decision-making process, these Ming officials actually judged the more than 100 of them to be inseparable from the top ten - for those who struggled and struggled to survive in the last days of the Ming Dynasty, their modern way of life can really be called unambitious.

"Otaku, this reputation has actually spread outside."

Seeing that the noun that was originally just a self-deprecation for themselves inside actually spread outside, Ade could only pout and smile bitterly. As far as he is concerned, he definitely doesn't recognize the term otaku. In fact, if we look at the standard of later generations who live at home all day and rely on computer networks for work and entertainment, none of these 139 people meet that standard. The scope of their activities is even much larger than that of many scholars and peasants who stayed at home in this era, not to mention the daughters who were no more than two years old in ancient times.

However, in relation to the armed forces and mobility they currently possess, and if they look beyond the county town of Lingao, or the whole of Hainan Island, it is not wrong to say that most of their group prefer to "stay" in their nests—their fast sailing ships are already capable of ocean voyages, and their forces are not afraid of any adversary in this world. But over the years, they have only stayed on Hainan Island in peace, and even if there are some external expansions, the purpose is only to make this comfortable nest more comfortable and safe.

The reason why he wanted to capture Qiongzhou Mansion was that he didn't want to be surrounded and suppressed by four or five thousand Ming Dynasty troops again; Although there were factors to make up for the historical regrets of taking Luzon and Taiwan, the most direct reason for the real determination to do so was that the Dutch and Spaniards who occupied these two places launched an attack on their Hainan Island. There was no choice but to take out the enemy's stronghold; Later, with the Ming Dynasty, he developed to the mainland, and its core purpose was also to absorb more manpower to come back and build his own island...... In the final analysis, the focus of the policy of traversing all the people is still based on themselves, if it were not for the fact that they knew that the Ming Empire would be replaced by a more aggressive Qing Dynasty in the future, they didn't even want to care about the affairs of the mainland at all, and it was enough to stay on the island for the rest of their lives - although not all 139 people thought so, but the people who held this attitude must have accounted for the majority.

And according to the habit of collective decision-making in the Joan navy, the group's foreign policy is, of course, quite conservative - at least, to those who do not understand how they make decisions.

Otaku is otaku, and Ade decides not to care about the word. However, he didn't want to accept Shi Kefa's criticism of them.

“…… Say we're extravagant and indulgent in pleasure? Cut, hillbilly, you've never even heard of anything extravagant! ”

Zhao Lide put away the file and decided to add some training to Shi Kefa when he went back to the training—the training they conducted for those Ming officials was not only a cultural class, but also a physical education class.

…………

At the same time, in the main base of Lingao, the core of the industrial group is the real room.

Xiao Lang, the head of the mechanical group and one of the committee members, happily stood in front of a big guy covered with a red cloth, waving his arms and shouting:

"Comrades! Friends, after three years of hard work, our mechanical group finally has a breakthrough today! ”

But the onlookers next to him actually knew what that thing was, and they talked and laughed in a low voice, without giving face to the host on the stage at all.

"The steam engine of the pit daddy, I've finally got it......"

"For more than three years, I had to put my energy into electric motors, and now it is estimated that Hainan's electrification is almost the same......"

Seeing that everyone was not interested in his introduction, Xiao Lang pulled down the red cloth a little boringly, revealing the big machine behind him. Then he waved his hand at the staff next to him and shouted:

"Let's go!"

The men who worked with him in the back couldn't hold it back for a long time, and when they heard the words, they were about to turn the regulating valve, but they heard someone next to them:

"Wait a minute, Xiao Lang, you're too close to the machine, move it out of the way."

This was a well-intentioned reminder, but it seemed a bit ironic to Xiao Lang's ears - the last time he was doing a demonstration test, the boiler exploded, injuring himself and several of his assistants, and causing the entire project to be suspended for a long time. The chairman of the committee at that time, Professor Li Lao, issued a strict order that the project should not be opened again until the safety of personnel could be absolutely guaranteed.

But when others talked about it in private, they still said that the project he Xiao Lang was responsible for had not progressed, which made him extremely depressed. Since I was authorized to restart the work, I have been working hard - in fact, I was able to do the demonstration test at the beginning, which means that most of the work has been completed, but it is only a mistake in some small places that causes the disaster - if the furnace temperature is not enough, the air pressure is not enough, and it can't be exploded!

Therefore, after restarting work this time, Xiao Lang's work is mainly to pick up the gaps and raise the safety factor. So far, I have a full grasp. At this time, when I heard the reminder from others, instead of retreating, I leaned over to the side of the machine and posed:

"It's okay, I'm 100% sure of success this time!"

Seeing that he was so confident, others couldn't say anything, shrugged their shoulders and followed him.

The boiler has already been heated in the back, and when you hear the command, you only need to open the valve and guide the steam into the steam engine's chamber...... After a while, I heard the sound of snorting, and the machine began to vibrate slightly. As the steam continues to press in, the huge reciprocating lever moves up and down, causing the large iron wheels on the crankshaft connecting rod to rumble and turn......

The crowd erupted in applause, although Xiao Lang had a very bad temper and ultra-nationalist tendencies, his mechanical ability was indeed beyond doubt. Although this steam engine was a little difficult to deliver, since it came out, it solved the biggest problem that the Joan Navy has encountered so far - power.

Power is the foundation of a qiē machinery, and so far, except for a set of hydraulic energy brought from modern society at the main base of Lingao, there is no stable and reliable power system available in other places, and the most traditional hydro, animal and wind power have to be used...... And, of course, the most primitive manpower. In this regard, they are not much ahead of this era. Even if there are many advanced equipment and ideas, they cannot be realized because there is no motivation.

And with the passage of time, the materials and equipment brought from modern times are becoming more and more scarce and easily damaged, and only two of the four hydroelectric generators at that time can still work normally, which also depends on Lin Hanlong and his comrades to dismantle the east wall and make up the west wall, and disassemble and merge the parts on the four machines to ensure the normal operation of the two machines.

No one knows how long this will last, and if they lose their generators, their machine tools, electric lights, and all the other equipment that depends on electricity will be incapacitated. Although the industrial team has been trying to reduce its reliance on these things from the beginning, many high-tech things are still inseparable from these modern equipment. And the biggest reason is that they don't have enough mechanical power other than the electric motor. Switching to human and animal power is absolutely intolerable.

Now that the steam engine solves the power problem, many other alternative measures can be used, and it is not impossible to even transform the machine tool to drive it with a steam engine in the future...... Moreover, their mechanical production capacity will not only be limited to Lingao, but can also be used in other places - such as the production base of rifles, artillery, and all kinds of precision spare parts, which used to be only placed here in Lingao, except for reasons of secrecy, the most important factor is that only here can provide mechanical power, and after the steam engine is put into use, the object of expanding production capacity will no longer be only those low-end products.

"The iron ore and small blast furnaces in Changhua will definitely need several; It can also be used in Changchang coal mines, including Taiwan and Luzon...... There are mines to use; In addition, the study of steamships and steam locomotives can also be put on the agenda; On the Shandong side, I am afraid that the Weihaiwei base will also apply, and they will become a production base on the mainland......"

Some people have already begun to count their fingers on how wide the sales of Xiao Lang's machine will be, but some people have expressed doubts:

"Can this steam engine be used for so many purposes? It's just a test subject, after all. ”

The machine in front of him still looks a little rough, but Xiao Lang trusts it very much:

"Don't worry! Our machine is not a semi-finished product when it was just invented in history, and its various details have been quite perfect, which is enough to meet the needs of all aspects! ”

-- The first steam engine in history appeared in 1698, which is not too far away. But the early products of that time were very crude and inefficient, and could only be used exclusively for ōu water in particularly fuel-rich coal mines. It was not until 1765 that Watt made heavy improvements to it that it became more widely used. The modern steam engine model that Xiao Lang has followed from the very beginning has bypassed all the bends that the inventors in history have gone through, and has reached quite high standards in terms of thermal efficiency, stability, and safety, especially in the last one. Xiao Lang dared to lean next to the machine to start it before, not because he was gambling with his own life. RA！ ~！
