One month.

For a whole month.

The entire Kyushu Academy of Sciences will be suspended for one month, and no one will be allowed to enter it for one month.

The huge Kyushu Academy of Sciences was instantly deserted, and only the staff remained, as well as Li Zhen and Qi Zizi.

For the umpteenth time, Qi was stunned and found Li Zhen: "Let's speak, thousands of people are scattered throughout Laoshan Mountain, and there is nowhere to go." Research day and night, study day and night. Now they've really learned that they're wrong, and they've really done what you wanted. ”

Li Zhen shook his head: "Not yet." ”

"Not yet? So how do you think there is? ”

Li Zhen showed a mysterious smile: "When I live in the office, I can also smell the smell of steam. ”

“……”

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings.

Qin Enze and the three of them went to the capital and did not return, and Lin Xiufeng took on the role of the leading big brother.

With a sad face all day long, I thought that Master Li would only need a few days to dissipate, but it has been a month. From May to June. Still nothing sounded.

Everyone was upset.

Countless rumors spread throughout Laoshan.

Master Li, it's time to abandon them.

Lin Xiufeng's anxious heart swelled up, and he found Qi stunned: "We know that we are wrong, we have already reflected." Why don't you let us return to the Kyushu Academy of Sciences? ”

Qi was also embarrassed: "Li Zhen said, it's not enough. ”

"Not enough? There are already many factories that use our cast steam engines. We even invented a steam milling machine, as well as a precision operating table, and yesterday, the people of the mechanical institute even designed a drawing called a boring machine, which has completely opened a new chapter in history. Isn't that enough? ”

Qi was stunned and said: "Li Zhen said that one day, he can smell the smell of steam when he sits in the office." to be considered a success. ”

Lin Xiufeng was stunned, and stayed in place for a long time.

Standing in that place, the whole person was stupid, in a daze, and his eyes were silent for half an hour without any focus.

Suddenly, Lin Xiufeng jumped up with a fierce man, his eyes red with excitement: "I understand." I get it, I finally get it. ”

Someone asked, "What do you understand?" ”

"I understand that Master Li wants to completely open the curtain of an era."

"What?"

"The Industrial Age. Master Li wants to completely let the industrial age come. ”

"What do you mean? Now that machine tools are used in several places, isn't it still the industrial age? ”

Lin Xiufeng shook his head firmly: "No." When something is invented, it can only be said that it has stepped into a certain field, and it still belongs to the high-end industry. And the only thing that can really be called the times is popularization. When everyone is popular, it can be called an era. Li Shi said that he could smell the steam even if he was sitting in the office. I see, we need to be the ones who will lead the whole of Kyushu into the industrial age. ”

"What exactly is the Industrial Age?"

Lin Xiufeng thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "It is probably to popularize the whole people and promote the use of energy and power." Let the whole country heavy industry rise. The era of the big bang of science for all and the emergence of endless ideas. ”

"Huh?"

"We did the first step."

"Did we do it?"

"Yes, now the machine tool has been used maturely, but only a few people use it. It's all under our arrangement. And when the machine tool is popularized to the entire Laoshan, the entire Qingdao County, the entire Dongzhou, and even the entire Kyushu. When steam rolls around Kyushu, it's the advent of the steam age. We will polish the eyes of the people of Kyushu and let them see a different world. It's like a few drawings of Master Li that have polished our eyes. From now on, we will take on the responsibility of Master Li. ”

"What duty?"

"For the teacher of the world!"

“……”

Megumi Yanagisawa heard that the people of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences want to manufacture a large number of machine tools and promote them.

Big incomprehension.

"Why? Why promote? It's your patent. Let's wait now, and when the time comes, there will definitely be businessmen coming to the door, this is a patent, and it can make too much money for the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. ”

Lin Xiufeng said excitedly: "I can't wait." ”

"Now these machine tools have greatly saved labor costs and time costs, and shipbuilding is completely enough. Now it takes three days to produce an ironclad ship, which is completely enough. At this rate, ironclad ships will definitely be everywhere. Why do you want to promote it? "Megumi Yanagisawa didn't understand at all.

It is difficult for a person to have a pair of thorough eyes to see the overall situation.

It's about the reason for the pattern.

Yanagisawa only wants to see his one-third of an acre prosper.

And Li Zhen's overall situation is that the whole country, and even the whole world, will develop and explode together at the overall level. So Megumi Yanagisawa is incomprehensible.

Lin Xiufeng said: "We will pay for it ourselves." Now there are so many new factories in Laoshan, all of which are invested by locals for shipbuilding. The boats and parts they build will make a lot of profit. We'll sell these things to them. Sell at a low price. ”

"Don't sell to merchants. Such a powerful machine tool must be firmly controlled in the hands of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, as well as in the hands of the government. ”

Lin Xiufeng smiled and left.

In the afternoon, the entire Laoshan County erupted.

The people of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences began to sell drawings, or sell finished products.

When the machine tool came out some time ago, the merchants in the factory wanted to buy it, but they couldn't buy it and didn't dare to open their mouths. Now the people of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences take the initiative to sell it, and there is no fool who does not buy it.

"I buy drawings, is the drawing 10 coins a piece? I buy. ”

"Can we just buy drawings? We can cast the machine tool according to the drawings ourselves, and the finished product is too expensive. ”

"I don't buy the finished product, we want to cast it ourselves, but can we ask someone to give us technical guidance?"

“……”

There was a big outbreak in Laoshan County.

Mid-June.

'Woo woo'

The whole Laoshan is full of machine tools, and the whole Laoshan is full of steam engines.

All factories have entered the steam age, and factories without steam machine tools will be eliminated. Because your productivity is just too low.

The reason why so many factories can appear in Laoshan in an instant is related to the shipbuilding industry.

All the surrounding areas know that Laoshan has made ironclad ships. Governments from all over the country have invested in the establishment of shipbuilding here, and they have asked people from the Kyushu Academy of Sciences to guide them at close range.

Originally, it was just the government to open a factory to learn shipbuilding, but local businessmen in Laoshan County saw the profits and opened factories in Dafengtai one after another. Processed parts are sold to those officials who need to wear iron armor, or the army is profitable.

In this way, the government completely took back the factory and handed it all over to the merchants, who were only responsible for paying for it.

Among them, efficiency and quality have become big problems.

As long as you are a businessman who opens a factory, you must own a machine tool. Otherwise, if someone else has it, you don't, and you will be eliminated. Laoshan County has a complete industrial explosion.

The reason is for shipbuilding.

Standing in front of the window holding hot tea, Li Zhen saw the steam of the entire Laoshan Mountain outside through the gap in the curtain, and his expression was finally relieved and relieved.

That anger is worth it, it's a good deal.

In a fit of rage, the curtain of industry was opened.
