One thing goes in three steps.

Who says you have to take the first step to take the second step, and the second step to take the third?

It's not a child learning to walk.

Ankang used the method of "Ding Wei to build a palace" to teach everyone how to look at things from another perspective.

The unsparing praise of the envoys and officials made Ankang feel ashamed. If it is said that recovering Gushan City and predicting the fall of the meteorite are completely based on his own ability, then this restoration of Meteorite West City is really not his ability.

An Kang waved his hand and said, "You don't have to praise me. I didn't come up with the idea. ”

"Huh? Isn't this what Prince An came up with? So who is it? Can you please meet us? "The envoy has been subdued by Ankang.

Knowing that there are other masters behind him, of course I hope to make friends.

Other officials did the same.

Ankang originally wanted to tell everyone about "Ding Wei building a palace", but there may not be a person or this thing of Ding Wei on this planet, and moreover, Ding Wei is a person from the Song Dynasty, which is 1,500 years later than this era.

If you talk about it, it will cause a lot of trouble.

An Kang smiled and said, "This is the apocalypse I got when I dreamed the other night. ”

Apocalypse? Apocalypse again. The boy had predicted the time and place of the fall of the meteorite because he had received the apocalypse in his dream, which was a very surprising thing.

Now he has come up with such a perfect plan, and it is also because of the apocalypse. Everyone felt the miracle, but did not have any doubts about their well-being.

In fact, Ankang has another idea that has never been thrown.

Meteoric West City is not an imperial city, nor is it a treasure land of feng shui, what is there to repair?

Instead of wasting time and effort to repair a city on the site of the old city full of garbage, it is better to take all the old city and build a new city next to it.

Anyway, when Gushan City was occupied by wild beasts, a new city was rebuilt.

It's like home appliance repair in the twenty-first century. Because household appliances are generally produced on industrial assembly lines, the process of making household appliances is long but relatively simple and the cost is relatively low. But maintenance is two different things, and it is necessary to train a large number of technicians who know how to repair.

In order to save trouble, home appliance manufacturers would rather let consumers pay a lot of money to trade in the old one than repair the broken appliance.

Even if it's not a trade-in, it's basically taking the appliance apart, replacing it with this component, and replacing it with that component. Broken components are simply recycled and destroyed.

However, Ankang weighed it and decided that it would be better not to throw out the idea. Because he thinks that the restoration of Falling West City has two major benefits for his father, An Tianhan.

First, An Tianhan's position as the city lord is not easy to come by. Don't change him when things are going well. Maybe everyone thinks the idea of reconstruction is good, and then when they ask the monarch for instructions, the monarch adjusts An Tianhan's position as the city lord by the way when he adjusts the original plan.

On the other hand, using the method of "Ding Wei to build a palace" to repair the Falling West City can show An Tianhan's ability to be an official. The same is to repair the city, Song Yande, the lord of Gushan City, repaired almost an intact city, while An Tianhan, the lord of Shenxi City, repaired almost a ruin.

The two are contrasted, the difficulty is different, and the cost is different.

If An Tianhan can successfully repair the Falling West City according to the idea of Ankang. That's a big deal. As for whether An Tianhan can go further in the position of the city lord, it is also expected.

The specific idea of repairing the Meteoric West City has been clearly explained, and the next step is to solve the problem of manpower and material resources.

Because a large part of the manpower and material resources of Meteoric West City have been transferred to Gushan City. Half of the remaining people are old, weak, sick and disabled. That is to say, most of the people who stayed in Shenxi City actually wanted to go to Gushan City, but because the mountain high road was far away and could not stand the fatigue of the journey, and they did not go for various reasons, they stayed in Yunxi City temporarily.

The possibility of counting on these people to repair Falling West City is slim to none.

A good plan is there, a good plan is there, but those who do not implement the plan and plan are in vain.

The officials at the meeting returned to frustration from the excitement of Ankang's proposal.

Plans and programs can be optimized, but where to find manpower and material resources?

"You don't need to worry about the problem of human and material resources. I've arranged it. An Kang smiled.

Everyone was shocked.

To put it bluntly, human and material resources are financial resources. There was not much treasury in Shenxi City, and some of it was allocated to Gushan City. Where else can you get such money other than asking the king for help?

An Kang discussed this issue with his father An Tianhan, so he understood what everyone was thinking.

He smiled, spread his hands and said, "I don't have any money." However, the problem of manpower and material resources does not have to be solved by money. ”

As soon as everyone heard it, they felt that there was a drama in it.

Whether it is the envoys or the officials, after the scene just now, they already know that the ability of the eldest prince of Anfu to be healthy can be described as unfathomable. If it weren't impossible, he wouldn't say it easily.

"If you don't believe me, you can come and see with me."

Ankang took the lead out of the tent and came to another tent nearby.

He turned to see that all the people in the tent where he was using the meeting had come out.

It works!

Ankang asked the scholar Shi Xiaoliu and others to open the curtain of the tent and invite everyone in.

When everyone went in, they saw that there were ten machines neatly stacked in the tent. Most people have visited the modified carriage in Ankang, although the shape of these steam engines is a little different from the one on the carriage, but several key components are still similar, so they know that this is a steam engine at a glance.

The king's envoys had only heard of the steam engine, but had not seen it. At this time, when he saw it, he nodded again and again and praised: "This object called a steam engine is indeed ingenious." ”

Ankang patiently explained the principle of the steam engine to the envoys, saying that it was to boil water into steam, and then use steam to push the piston, and the piston to drive the connecting rod. The connecting rod itself can be used for many purposes. If you add parts such as the crankshaft, the connecting rod can drive the wheel.

Therefore, this steam engine can replace almost all human and livestock power to be installed on various equipment.

"This steam engine can be placed on a ship if needed. The oars were driven by a steam engine so that the boat could move forward automatically. If a large truck is required, one or more steam engines can also be placed in the back of the vehicle and propelled forward. ”

Ankang pointed to the outside of the tent and said to the envoy, "Lord Angel, there is one of my carriages parked outside the tent, and it is equipped with this steam engine. Many adults have seen and ridden it. Later, if the angel is interested, you can also feel it. ”

"Interested! Very interested! The envoy stroked his beard and smiled.
