Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Magical Steam Train
"Steam trains? Wait a minute...... You'an, what's that? ”
Seeing that he was walking on the road to meet his father Wancheng, he heard this new term from Wan Xing's mouth, and in surprise, Zhu Houxi couldn't help but ask curiously again.
Hearing that Zhu Houxi really came to the road, he began to ask impatiently, smiled, fortunately for the success of the fishing, but did not answer directly.
On the contrary, he was led all the way to the outside of his father's cabin on the right side of the courtyard where he made all kinds of inventions, which seemed a little mysterious.
"Hehe, Your Highness, I won't tell you yet, I want to know what a steam train is, I'll understand when I go in and see it, I promise, it's definitely another big surprise."
With that, he pushed the door directly and decisively and entered the wooden house.
Seeing this, Zhu Houxi saw that fortunately this face was mysteriously mixed with some small pride of successful fishing, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and after touching his nose, he had to follow him more and more curiously, and followed him into the house, wanting to see what the steam train he said was.
Then, after entering the wooden house, Zhu Houxi and the others couldn't help frowning, because they saw that the entire wooden house was very messy, it could be said that it was messy, and there was no tidiness at all, which was a little unbearable for Zhu Houxuan, who was used to everything being orderly, clean and tidy in the Xingwang Mansion.
Because the wooden house is full of all kinds of wood tools that my father needs when he does carpentry, such as saws, axes, files, planers, etc., and there are all kinds of finished or semi-finished handmade works hanging or stacked near the walls, and even the ground is full of all kinds of wood shavings, so it can be said that there is no place to put your feet.
In this regard, although Zhu Houxuan was a little unacceptable, he didn't show it much, he still smiled and groaned, looking around curiously.
But seeing that these handmade works are very novel, some of them he has seen, and many of them have never been seen before, which made Zhu Houxi a little eye-opening again, and felt that this was a carpenter's workshop.
And at this moment, Wan Chengdao, the fortunate father, is sitting in the middle of a mess of wood shavings and handmade works, holding his chin in one hand and holding a pen in the other, meditating, and on the small table in front of him, there are a large number of drawings scattered together, and I don't know what is drawn.
At the same time, on a piece of ground in front of him, a fairly clean area was slightly cleared.
In this area, there were no wood shavings, but some small wooden blocks were placed, and I saw that each of these small wooden blocks was only two feet long, and the thickness of the little fingers was neatly arranged one by one, and a large circle was arranged around him and the small wooden table, like a track.
Fortunately, seeing this, in surprise, he hurriedly stepped forward and patted Wan Chengdao, who was deep in thought, on the shoulder.
"Hey, Dad, what are you doing, don't be in a daze, you see who's coming?"
was patted on the shoulder by Wan Xing, and suddenly excited, and after coming back to his senses a little, Wan Chengdao was a little dazed.
"Ah, son, why are you here, what's the matter? By the way, didn't you go to see the little prince? My father thinks it will be a long time before you return. ”
"But you came at the right time, I was just thinking about how to apply the principle of the stone mill to the steam engine you said, and invent this steam train, and I am almost ready to see it, you see, I even conceived the track you said."
As he spoke, he saw Wan Chengdao, who came back to his senses, and hurriedly grabbed his hand, as if showing off, pointed to a large circle of tracks laid by him with small wooden blocks in front of him, and said happily.
However, after seeing Wan Xing constantly glaring at himself, he turned his head with a puzzled face, and after seeing Zhu Houxuan and others behind him, he completely came back to his senses, and hurriedly stood up and hugged his fists.
"Ouch, it turned out to be the little prince...... No, it's the prince, you're here, forgive the sins, I'm fascinated by the study of the steam train, I didn't react, and I ask the prince to forgive me, it's really forgiveness and forgiveness. ”
Seeing Wan Chengdao say this, he is really a strange person who loves all kinds of inventions and creations, and he is a little enchanted, no wonder he can invent an artifact such as a steam water lifter, Zhu Houxi also didn't care about it, and he didn't feel surprised, but hurriedly stepped forward to support his hand.
"Eh, where did Uncle Wan say, although I am the prince, but I am also a junior, and you are an elder, or an elder who has been watching me grow up, and I have a very good relationship with my father, so it should be me who came to see you, but don't say anything forgive, that is a great pain for this king."
As he spoke, while holding Wan Chengdao's hand, Zhu Houxi also praised from the bottom of his heart.
"And Uncle Wan, you have worked tirelessly to invent this steam water machine, which is a great achievement, because such an artifact, I don't know how many people of the Ming Dynasty can benefit me, it can be said that the merit is in the future!"
"And this hot air balloon, I heard that You'an said that it was also invented under your guidance, and it is a great help to this king, so it is reasonable and reasonable, it should be me to thank you, really don't say anything to forgive your sins, this king can't afford to wait for it."
"Huh? This...... I ......"
Immediately, hearing Zhu Houxi say this, Wan Chengdao was also suddenly confused, and he didn't understand what it meant at all.
And this hot air balloon, how can it be that he instructed his son to invent it, something is wrong, what's going on?
Therefore, Wan Chengdao, who looked confused, just wanted to say something, but when he saw Wan Xing on the side, he coughed lightly, quietly pulled the corner of his clothes, shook his head at him without a trace, and signaled him not to expose it.
Seeing this, although I still have some doubts, I don't know what the situation is, but after all, I got a hint of luck, so I saw Wan Chengdao and had to blush, a little embarrassed.
"Ah......h This...... Your Royal Highness, you are laughing, I also figured out these things randomly, it can be regarded as an unintentional willow, it is good to be useful, I dare not talk about any great achievements, and I don't deserve to be so praised by you, this really makes me a little flattered, you are serious. ”
Seeing Wan Chengdao blushing and saying this, looking like he was not good at words, Zhu Houxi was even more suspicious of him, but laughed loudly.
"Eh, Uncle Wan, that's not what you said, maybe you didn't think about these problems when you invented them, but these things you invented can really help this king and the people of the world, so this is a great achievement."
"Therefore, no matter what, this king should thank you well, thank you for the people of the world, and please rest assured that this king will be grateful in the future, and he will never treat this person who has made great contributions to the people of the world!"
"Ah......h
didn't speak before Rong Wanchengdao, looking at the messy stack of drawings on the small wooden table next to him, and under curiosity, Zhu Houxi couldn't help but pick up a random one to look at it carefully.
When he found that the drawings on this drawing were something new that he had never seen before, he couldn't help but become more and more curious, and he held all the large stacks of drawings on the table in his hands and kept looking at them.
As he saw on the drawing, it was also a strange-looking vat, which was somewhat similar to the steam water dispenser he had seen in the yard before, but it was very different.
The principle of sensation is almost the same, it is to produce steam by boiling water, and then use steam to make power, producing different effects.
However, the difference is that the steam water lifter outside uses steam to draw water, but the large vat painted on this drawing uses steam to push something similar to a stone grinding disc, so as to replace manpower, push the stone grinding disc to rotate constantly, and then let the stone grinding disc that keeps rotating to act as a wheel as a driving force for progress.
But at the end of the drawing, it is a drawing of such a strange vat installed on a strange car, and the car with this strange vat is placed on a special track, on which it keeps moving forward, as if it is never tireless, emitting black smoke, as long as the black smoke continues, you can keep running.
Of course, let's say it's a car, Zhu Houxi is also a little unsure, because it's not quite like, how can there be a car with a high chimney, and it's so long, one section at a time, there are several sections, how many horses do you have to pull it, but there are no horses on it, is it possible to run by yourself without horses?
It can be said that it is not a car, and it has wheels, it is really strange, anyway, Zhu Houxi has really never seen such a strange thing, he can only guess that it should be a car, and he can't help but move in his heart, guessing that this is the steam train that You'an said?
While muttering in his heart, he continued to look at the drawings in his hand, and when he saw the strange car drawn at the end of the drawings moving forward on a special track, he couldn't help but be stunned again, and said in his heart, how did he seem to have seen this thing somewhere? It feels so familiar
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but look down suddenly, and saw that on the ground, there were small wooden blocks one by one, and the small wooden blocks were being placed in the shape of the track on this drawing, which made Zhu Houxi also taken aback, and felt incredible.
I was busy taking the drawings and looking at them again, comparing them, and found that it was really, isn't the track placed by this small wooden block the track under the strange-looking car on the drawing?
I couldn't help but think with a shocked face, could it be that the strange car drawn on this drawing could really be built?
Can you really build such a car that doesn't even need a horse, but can run on its own with black smoke?
It's not so scary, it's so perverted and incredible!
Including Yuan Zonggao and the others behind him, because they all gathered behind him and accompanied him to see the stack of drawings, they were all shocked at the moment, and they couldn't believe that this was true, after all, it was really terrifying!
Only Zhu Houxuan is not very human, while everyone else is still shocked, only he is the first to come back to his senses, he is busy holding the drawings in his hand, and he is extremely excited to grab Wan Chengdao's hand and ask feverishly.
"Uncle Wan, what is this? Could it be that it is the steam train that You'an said? Can you really build this kind of car that can run on your own without human or animal power? ”
"If this is really the case, it is another artifact that can benefit hundreds of people in my Ming Dynasty, is it really possible?"
