Galileo didn't notice Duke coming in, and he was engrossed in tuning a gearing set.

Seeing that Galileo was so serious, Duke didn't want to be directly disturbed, but stood behind him and watched silently. The set of transmission devices that Galileo experimented with is very similar to an upgraded version of the connecting rod mechanism that Duke had previously instructed Bruno, because the mechanism is much more complex.

Suddenly seeing this complex transmission device, even Duke couldn't help but be fascinated, after careful identification, he probably saw what this thing was, this set in front of him is the most basic parallel four-link mechanism, the original intention of the invention of this set of connecting rod mechanism is to cooperate with the two-way cylinder of the steam engine!

You must know that the reason why Watt is more famous than the inventor of the steam engine is that his improved steam engine really entered the practical stage, opening the prelude to the first industrial revolution, and even the first industrial revolution was named the steam revolution.

The two main contributions of Watt's improvement of the steam engine are the two-way cylinder and the parallel four-rod mechanism, which has revolutionized the thermal efficiency and transmission efficiency of the steam engine, and finally made the steam engine no longer a bulky and primitive mine pumping machine, but has become the source of industrial power.

Now Galileo is debugging the parallel four-rod mechanism, undoubtedly telling Duke that Watt's two-way cylinder has been introduced in this world, and the practical application of the steam engine will soon be greeting, and when he thinks that the prelude to the industrial revolution will soon be opened in his own hands, Duke can't help but be excited, and mutters in his mouth: "Watt, has he succeeded?"

Hearing a sudden voice in his ears, Galileo subconsciously looked behind him and found that Duke was already standing behind him without knowing when. Duke's appearance startled Galileo, and he quickly threw down his things and saluted Duke, "Lord Lord." ”

Duke didn't care about these etiquettes at all, but excitedly continued to ask Galileo: "Galileo, you are debugging the parallelogram mechanism, is it that Watt's steam engine has been successfully developed?"

In the face of Duke's excitement, Galileo was also surprised, because this set of parallel four-link mechanism, even if he himself was not completely debugged, the lord had already called out the name, and knew that it would be used on the steam engine.

Although Galileo had a deep understanding of Duke's omnipotence before, but when Duke once again showed his magic, Galileo was still shocked, could this lord be the reincarnation of the "Lord", why did he know everything?

"That's right, this set of transmission devices is indeed used on the steam engine, but the steam engine has not yet been developed, many things have not yet been finalized, and the cylinder is also stuck, it may take a while. ”

Hearing Galileo say this, Duke's excitement calmed down a little, he was still too anxious, the steam engine is an epoch-making product, and it is unrealistic to want a comprehensive breakthrough in just a few months. However, since Watt has thought of this, it means that the course of his character's history has not changed, which means that the improved steam engine will eventually be invented in his hands.

In this case, Duke was relieved, and he was most afraid at first that Watt would not be able to design these things. Since it can be developed, Duke can still afford to wait, after all, there are hundreds of years between the Middle Ages and the first industrial revolution, and Stormcastle's technological ascent is already a leap.

Compared to the distant future of the industrial age, Duke remembered that he had found Galileo, which was a more realistic thing.

"By the way, Galileo, I'm here this time because I want to ask you about something. If I want to build a road over Mont Saint-Michel quickly, is there any good construction route?"

Galileo had traveled across the continent as a doctor of theology, crossing the Saint-Michel Mountains several times. And as a scholar, when he traveled to the continent, he also studied geology, and if he wanted to build a road over Mont San Michel, Galileo should be one of the best references.

Hearing Duke's question, with Galileo's IQ, he naturally understood the reason for Duke's question. So he thought for a moment and replied: "My lord, if it was before the change, then it could only be built along the low terrain, which would not shorten the distance compared to the current route, but after the road was built, the speed could be increased a lot." ”

"But now we have cement at Stormfort, and I've seen firsthand how strong the reinforced concrete is in Stormtown, so we can overcome rockfalls, landslides, mud from rain and snow, and so on. When I came to Stormcastle before, I walked through a fast path, and if the path was expanded, the distance from Stormcastle to Alpine City should be shortened to fifty kilometers. ”

Hearing that Galileo had a route, Duke said with a smile: "It's easy to do with a route, if it can be reduced to fifty kilometers, it used to take a day, but it may only take a few hours in the future!"

Seeing Duke's excited look, Galileo shook his head and said, "My lord, although we have cement in Storm Castle that can solve the problem of the road itself, there is no way to solve the problem of construction. To extend the path to the width of the carriage, you need to break through the rocks, and the rocks and permafrost of Mont Saint-Michel are definitely not so easy to build. ”

"Even if it is carried out, it will take a lot of manpower and time, and as far as I know, Stormcastle is lacking in both now, right?"

Galileo was always in a science lab, but that doesn't mean he's the kind of nerd who doesn't listen to what's going on outside the window. On the contrary, as a pioneer of science and the founder of modern experimental science, he is a highly intelligent genius in his own right, and he knows the current situation of Stormcastle very well.

The Lord Lord's eagerness to build the road must have something to do with the tension in Takayama City and the transportation of materials. However, in the current situation of Storm Castle, there is no strength to do this.

Galileo's rhetorical question was like waking up Duke. I rely on the fact that Bashir formulated a revised development plan before, which can be regarded as correcting some of the shortcomings of Duke's "Great Leap Forward" before, but I didn't expect that I would want to make a big leap forward so quickly.

In fact, this is not to blame Duke, because he always habitually looks at problems in terms of the efficiency of later generations. In the industrial efficiency of later generations, building a road of tens of kilometers is nothing at all, but in this era, it will be amazing to build a mountain road of dozens of kilometers.

If you want to get rich, it's right to build a road first, but with the current state of Storm Castle, it is estimated that this road can repair itself......
