The Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty.

In the open space in the backyard, a newly made steam engine was placed.

On the side, there are a large number of craftsmen looking at it.

"Little Fourth Brother, is this the steam engine that our General Bureau of Ordnance helped them make for the Royal Academy of Sciences?"

"That's not it, even my master said that this steam engine will definitely be of great use in the future, you have to be careful not to break it, Your Majesty will have to come and see it later!"

"Ahh The emperor is coming? ”

"That's not it, this steam engine is related to the development plan of the Beijing-Tianjin Industrial Park, in the future, the entire Beijing division will serve industrialization, and the entire Ming Dynasty will be the world of industrialization in the future!"

"That little fourth brother... What is industrialization? ”

"Hey, hey! Actually, I don't know much about this, I heard it all when I listened to my master chatting with Lord Xu Guangqi from time to time in the General Bureau of Ordnance. ”

After a while, Zhu Youzhen's dragon chariot arrived at the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Seeing the steam machine shining with metallic luster in the open space in the distance, Zhu Youzhen's movements as he stepped down from the dragon chariot trembled a little.

What catches your eye is that the overall structure of this machine has an unusual aesthetic in design, mainly separating the expansion and contraction cylinders from the cylinders used for cooling.

The design of the drive crank also reduces more meaningless consumption, and the overall construction will face lower fuel consumption.

And the young man who was called the little fourth brother also straightened his clothes and walked forward.

"The minister Wang Yisi sees the emperor!"

Zhu Youzhen was a little emotional when he saw Wang Yisi bowing down.

Who is Wang Yisi? I can't take too long to recall, and the apprentice Xiaosi who eats and lives with Lao Wang Tou in the broken tile house of Wang Gongchang is Wang Yisi in front of him.

"No need to be polite, quickly introduce me to the changes in this new steam engine."

"Back to Your Majesty, originally under the guidance of the drawings of the Royal Academy of Sciences, we produced the earliest old steam engine, which the minister called the No. 1 steam engine, and later during the test of the General Bureau of Ordnance, although there were no major problems, but small problems continued."

"In general, the power is weak, and the fuel consumption is extremely fast! Now, through the new transformation method, the Ming Royal Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Industry together under the guidance, what is placed in front of the emperor today is the second-generation steam engine that can really be sent to industrial use. ”

The ministers on the side saw that although the iron ball in front of them was bubbling with silver metallic luster everywhere, it was still wrapped in heavy oil everywhere, and they really couldn't see why.

So an official said, "Can you bother Lord Wang to turn on this steam engine so that I can wait to open my eyes?" ”

This remark not only won the echo of the surrounding officials, but also invisibly said what Zhu Youzhen thought.

"Okay. The Emperor and the adults stepped back slightly, although it had been experimented with countless times, after all, this thing was still a little unsafe occasionally. ”

Zhu Youzhen took the lead in retreating.

When the ministers saw that the emperor had done so, what else could they do?

Could it be that he stood still and was higher than the emperor?

So they all stepped back.

Leave enough space for Wang Yisi to fiddle with the steam engine in front of him.

Under Wang Yisi's signal, the craftsmen of the General Bureau of Ordnance, who were originally hiding at the edge, picked up the tools in their hands and came forward.

"Phew!"

A man dressed in the uniform of the General Ordnance Administration holds a torch for igniting a fire, and the other holds a firewood to ignite the flame.

Order.

"Point!"

They all threw themselves into the boiler, and then the two craftsmen picked up the shovels they had prepared for the side, first scooped up the slightly broken coal on the ground, and then gradually rose as the whining black smoke rose.

Larger lumps of coal were then filled.

In a short time, the crankshaft, flywheel, and connecting rod were all driven, and the flywheel hanging from the steam engine was connected to the belt to rotate.

The belt-connected boring knife is slowly sent forward under the grasp of the craftsman, and the metal chips are continuously bored out, and a qualified barrel rifling is born.

The processing speed of the new steam engine is much faster than that of the old steam engine, and the original steam engine is often too slow to process due to the design of the cylinder and other reasons, which is too slow to slow down the craftsman.

This is not the case at the moment.

The craftsmen are surrounded by barrels that have been processed in basic form, and one after another is turning rapidly, and the molds set in advance come in handy at this moment.

One by one, they kept filling in, and one after another machined barrels rolled down the slope on the side.

Zhu Youzhen was also very happy when he saw this.

"Back to Your Majesty, due to the rush of time, the minister has only made some modifications to the machinery used by the General Bureau of Ordnance to process rifling, and this new steam engine is more than a little stronger than the original steam engine in terms of power, and the original one will sometimes jam because of insufficient power."

"But now not only is the knife not jammed, but in the General Bureau of Ordnance test, in fact, the fastest power to advance two boring knives at the same time can be achieved, which has played a decisive role in the processing of new rifles. I am afraid that when this steam engine is fully rolled out and used in the General Bureau of Ordnance, the processing speed of the new rifle will be even higher. It is more than five times faster than the original manual boring cutter rifling. ”

Wang Yisi was introducing, and Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but applaud.

"Good! All right! ”

Zhu Youzhen knows that this steam engine can not only be used in production, but the most important thing is that it can play a great role in changing the mode of transportation, and in the future, trains, ships, and even the most primitive cars can use the steam engine as a power source.

And it is not only industry that is covered, but also agriculture, textiles, industry and commerce will benefit from this.

"Wang Yisi has made meritorious contributions to the manufacture of new steam engines, and will be transferred to the Royal General Administration of Industry as a deputy director from now on, and comprehensively pilot the promotion of steam machinery in the Beijing-Tianjin Industrial Park and the transformation of more steam machinery."

From behind the old king's head, the trembling and unsightly apprentice.

went to the Artillery Department of the General Bureau of Ordnance to work as an assistant to Lao Wangtou.

Then because of the steam engine, he jumped up to the deputy director of the Royal Directorate-General of Industry.

Wang Yisi's path is not another path prepared by Zhu Youzhen for students in the world who love new learning and Western learning.

The proportion of the traditional imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty will be lower and lower, which has become an established fact in everyone's minds.

But what should be the development path of these students who have graduated from the new graduate school in the future?

In fact, this has always been a question of speculation by many people.

Wang Yisi did not go to graduate school, but he can still walk in front of many people.

And what about those who went to graduate school?

"Minister. Wang Yisi! Thank you, Your Majesty! It will live up to the holy will. ”

"Do a good job, my Ming industrialization will be handed over to you!"

Gratitude is indescribable!

History begins from this moment, recording that the Ming Dynasty has completely embarked on the fast track of industrialization!
