Chapter 1366: Inspecting Yingtian Academy

Mobile reading

Zhu Jie couldn't wait for a moment, so he ordered someone to help Song Yingxing onto the horse, didn't even sit in the sedan chair, and rushed straight to Yingtian Academy.

Everyone was stunned, this steam engine was really so powerful? It made the emperor excited like this, when the flowering cannon was successfully developed, I didn't see the emperor so excited!

Soon, everyone came to Yingtian Academy.

I heard that the emperor came to Yingtian Academy, the students in the entire academy were boiling, Zhu Jie had not been here before, when he was in Nanjing City before, he would come almost once a quarter, but this time the meaning was different, after the Ordnance Department incident, the reputation of Yingtian Academy plummeted, both teachers and students felt that they couldn't raise their heads, and even some Western teachers were attacked by the citizens of Nanjing.

Even so, the morale of the teachers and students of the academy has fallen to the bottom, and they are all listless, if it weren't for Song Yingxing's old qualifications and the emperor's respect, Yingtian Academy would really not be able to hold on.

Now that the emperor has come to Yingtian Academy again, the teachers and students have received great encouragement, and they have run towards the square from all corners!

In just a short period of time, the 50-acre square of Yingtian College has been crowded with students and teachers!

"Your Majesty! Banzai! ”

"Long live my emperor!"

"Hooray!"

……

The cries in the square were higher and higher, and the oldest of the students here was only twenty-two or three years old, all of them were young and frivolous, and they were all young and frivolous, and they were full of incomparable fanaticism in the face of the emperor in front of them, who was not a few years older than themselves!

It took only five or six years for the young emperor in front of him to suppress the thieves and the thieves, pacify the Haikou along the coast of Fujian, destroy Manchuria, and subjugate Mongolia.

What could be more exhilarating than meeting such a wise and heroic master? This is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, this is the blessing of the tens of thousands of people of the Ming Dynasty!

With a smile on his face, Zhu Jie stretched out his hands and pressed down towards the square, "Quiet, teachers, students, be quiet!" ”

Zhu Jie had to use all his strength to shout to the crowd, otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to hear his voice if he was so close, let alone a square covering an area of more than thirty acres?

In the square, it gradually fell silent.

Zhu Jie put away his smile and shouted: "Everyone, I know that since the incident of the Ordnance Division, Yingtian Academy has suffered some unfair treatment, and you feel even more shameless, but this is just a few small nights, and there are all kinds of birds when the forest is big!" In addition to the countless phoenixes that have emerged in this Yingtian Academy, it is inevitable that one or two crows will appear, it doesn't matter, just drive the crows out, but we can't feel that we are not phoenixes because of the appearance of a few crows! Here, you are all elites of the Ming Dynasty, all talented phoenixes, not crows! Hold up your chests for me, show your own achievements, and prove to the world that you have contributed to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and you are worthy of this country! And these teachers who came all the way to Daming from the West, you are also phoenixes, phoenixes attracted by my plane trees, as long as you are loyal to Daming and are willing to give this land a whole talent, then you will get the absolute respect of the Ming Empire! I will never break my promise, and the future Yingtian Academy will be even stronger! ”

After listening to Zhu Jie's words, the students on the square became even more fanatical, and a tsunami-like voice of long live surged up, venting all the grievances, worries, depression, and panic that had been suppressed in their hearts these days, and the emperor did not abandon Yingtian Academy! That's the most important thing! Yingtian Academy is still that high-ranking school!

"Your Majesty! Let's go to the steam engine first, shall we? ”

Song Yingxing had a wry smile on his face, he still underestimated the emperor's prestige among the students, just a few simple words, these people broke out with passion again!

Zhu Jie nodded, and followed Song Yingxing, Descartes and the others towards the laboratory in the distance.

"Your Majesty, this teacher is from Western England, his name is Thomson, these two are his student assistants Deng Xiande and Lu Liuliang, he led the two students to develop a steam engine!"

Song Yingxing introduced to Zhu Jie.

"Lu Liuliang?"

Zhu Jie's heart moved, could this be the famous Confucianism in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties?

However, at this time, it was not the time to delve into it, Zhu Jie nodded slightly, and said: "What about the steam engine, I have been looking forward to it for a long time!" ”

Thomson hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, please come here with your ministers!" ”

Soon, Zhu Jie saw a steam engine, a very strange shape, even if Zhu Jie saw this steam engine, he couldn't help frowning, it was not the same as the steam engine he imagined......

Thomson said to Zhu Jie: "Your Majesty, the idea of this steam engine comes from a discovery by Lu Liuliang, the winter before last, we boiled water with coal in the school, and the water in the kettle boiled, and the lid of the kettle was given to the top fan, Lu Liuliang and Deng Xiande told me about this discovery, and asked me what the reason for this was, the minister just knew, it was because of the pressure, but as for the deeper principle, it was difficult to explain, however, when the minister was in England, I once imagined how to transport the seepage water in the mine roadway through the machine, which relied on manpower, too troublesome, too inefficient, and in the roadway, it is impossible to walk away too many people, many times, because the seepage can not be solved, the whole pit is soaked in water, their problem gave me inspiration, and I worked with the two of them to develop this machine! ”

In order to solve the problem of water seepage in the mine roadway, I thought of it.

Zhu Jie suddenly realized, vaguely, he also remembered, as if the original steam engine was used to pump water, pumping the water in the roadway to the ground, but he didn't expect to come to this time and space, or appear like this, so ah, most of the discoveries and inventions are from the needs of people's life and production.

"So, this steam engine is used to draw water?"

Zhu Jie asked with a smile.

Thomson hurriedly replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, after more than a year, we have spent nearly a thousand taels of silver just to fund the academy, if we can't study his role and promote it, then the minister will have no way to explain to the academy." We have gone through dozens of tests, and even invited the best craftsmen of the Ordnance Department to build equipment for us, before it was completed, and now this steam engine can completely pump water from two or three feet underground to the ground, although it can not completely solve the problem of stagnant water, but I believe that with the continuous advancement of the test, this problem will be solved! ”
