Chapter 522: Liu Luming's Invention
"Turbine ......"
Hearing the fresh words that popped out of Wang Quanquan's mouth, Liu Luming rubbed his chin and said after a while:
"That's a good name, but I prefer to call it a blower, hey, brother, what do you mean by this turbine?"
"Heh, it's pretty much the same."
Wang Quanquan casually snorted, although he had long been used to it, but he still couldn't stop the shock in his heart, he deliberately put his eyes on the complicated pipeline below, so as not to climb the other party along the pole.
Liu Lu Ming'an has been divided for so many years, and as soon as he makes a move, he will free up something that will only appear in a few hundred years, in addition, Wang Quanquan also found a valve and a simple silencer device below, and he doesn't dare to say anything superfluous now, lest this guy make any shocking moves when he hears it.
……
Wang Quanquan thought that it would be good to shut up honestly, but Liu Luming still didn't say anything:
"Actually, it's nothing, I've always had an immature idea, I want to hear your opinion, Brother Wang. Every year, the palace had to spend a lot of charcoal to keep warm, which cost not only money, but also destroyed many trees. ”

Wang Quanquan's face twitched when he heard this, as if he had vaguely guessed something, and Liu Luming continued:
"So I thought, if we could lay pipes under the palace and inject hot water into the furnace, wouldn't that save a lot of money? The water is dirty, and there is no problem with it for heating, and the entire palace is paved with slate and white marble, so it should be no problem to conduct heat......
The more Liu Luming said, the more outrageous it became, and Wang Quanquan hurriedly interrupted:
"This is not proper, can you guarantee that the iron pipe will not leak? And even if it is tightly sealed at the time, it will inevitably rust later, and it will be a big expense to repair it at that time. ”
"That's true, if only there was a material that is waterproof and not easy to corrode."
"Don't think about it, if you really have nothing to do, just prepare the post road in advance." The kingship continued to divert from the topic.
Jokes, if he continues to think like this, sooner or later the first industrial revolution will have to be hundreds of years earlier.
Interfering with history has always been a taboo for travelers, God knows if Liu Lu Mingdong will do it in the west, and in the end it will be erased from history by the man in black of unknown origin.
……
When it comes to repairing the post road, Liu Luming is a little more energetic than just now:
"Brother Wang, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it, and there is a good thing I haven't shown you."
After speaking, he pouted his ass and began to climb down the ladder, and the king was helpless when he saw this, so he had to go down.
The two came to a warehouse, and there was a thing wrapped in linen cloth in the center, Liu Luming stepped forward and patted the object, only to hear the two muffled sounds of "Dongdong", which should be made of iron sheets.
"Brother Wang, guess what this is?"
"The car." Wang Quanquan said expressionlessly.
"How do you know if you've secretly come to see it?"
Liu Luming suspiciously lifted the sackcloth, and there was a strange-shaped car underneath, the reason why it was said to be a car was because there were four wheels at the bottom, and in addition, it was not at all similar to an ordinary carriage and ox cart.
"Brother Wang, let me introduce you." Seeing that the other party's reaction was a little calm, Liu Luming couldn't help but play tricks, "As you can see, this car is different from ordinary cars, it is not pulled by livestock, but driven by steam. ”
As he spoke, he patted the tin bucket at the front of the car, which was very similar to the boiler in the house.
"Although this iron car looks strange, its strength is greater than that of an ox, and its speed is not inferior to those thousands of horses raised by Brother Wang, and the most important thing is that it is neither tired nor resistant.
At present, I want to take the opportunity to test this car, and after checking and filling in the gaps, I will expand production like a firecracker, and gradually become the standard equipment of garrisons everywhere. ”
Liu Luming's words are indeed very attractive, any monarch who hears it has to pat his thigh to make him work hard, but the royal authority has been frightened by the so-called heavenly cause and effect, and he really doesn't dare to joke with his brother's life, so he shook his head after hesitating for a moment and said:
"It's a good offer, but I can't say yes."
"Brother Wang, why is this?"
"I'm afraid you'll die young."
"Huh?"
……
While the two were talking, suddenly a eunuch broke in in a hurry, and after seeing the king's authority, he hurriedly knelt down and worshipped:
"Your Majesty, Zheng Sanbao is back."
"Zheng Sanbao?" Wang Quanquan looked confused, listening to the eunuch's meaning, as if he should know each other.
At this time, Liu Luming on the side reminded:
"Your Majesty has lived in Zhongzhou for a long time before, and knows very little about the affairs of the capital, this Zheng Sanbao was originally a eunuch, and he was ordered by the emperor to travel overseas, promote the prestige of our dynasty and make friends at the same time."
The king's authority is clear when he hears this, with Emperor Shun's person, he will definitely show off his exploits in the end, and there is indeed such a person in the history books, but it is a pity that he has been studying all the time before, and he doesn't even know what he did after being called the emperor, let alone the life of an envoy.
Seeing that His Majesty didn't react, the eunuch hurriedly added:
"Your Majesty, Zheng Sanbao has arrived in Beijing, accompanied by a group of envoys from other countries, all of whom look like them, and the people in Beijing have gathered on the street to see the excitement."
"Oh, it's kind of interesting, let's go check it out."
Wang Quanquan said, and was about to lift his steps to walk out, when he suddenly remembered something halfway through, turned to look at Liu Luming, "Liu Aiqing, you go to the military department to pull a few artillery, since Emperor Shun wants to raise the prestige of our country, then let's raise it." ”
"Okay!" Mentioning this kind of thing, Liu Luming instantly came to his senses, and ran out with a puff of smoke.
……
Today's six departments are the busiest is the Ministry of Rites, although Zheng Sanbao has already flown pigeons to pass the book half a month ago, but I didn't expect that there would be so many envoys, and the food and accommodation of a group of people suddenly became a big problem.
In addition, countless exotic treasures from other regions were brought back to the court to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, and the Ministry of Rites had to record and store them together with the internal supervisors.
Wang Quanquan couldn't go to see the envoys in a long robe, and on the way back to the palace to change clothes, he happened to meet the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were in a hurry, and he looked at it with curiosity, and almost laughed out loud.
Boxes of goods were placed on the ground in the carriage, among which there were many golden statues of various gods and Buddhas, but it was not difficult to record, but those special fruits made it difficult for the officials present.
Potatoes are recorded as "brown melons", tomatoes are close, named "persimmons", corn is more outrageous, directly become "topaz withered pieces", the most excessive is a golden durian, the name is quite awkward - root withered meteor hammer (suspected of fecal blistering).
Wang Quanquan stepped forward, picked up the durian that others couldn't avoid, and said casually:
"I haven't eaten this thing for decades, but I didn't expect to run into it today."
Seeing this, the officials next to him hurriedly stopped:
"Your Majesty, don't do it, this thing stinks unbearably just by smelling it, how can you easily get off your stomach?"
"I don't eat it, take it back as an ornament."
Wang Quanquan didn't want to explain more, so he sent them away casually, and then walked directly towards the queen's bedroom.
