Chapter 159: Normal Operation

The parade lasted about an hour before it ended, and ended with a closing speech in the open space, encouraging people to join the army, serve the country, and so on.

"It's finally over." Wang Lishuang exhaled, at this time he sat in the carriage back to the palace, although he did not need to preside over this ceremony, but he needed to sit outside, how could it be cool in the palace outside.

Just as he wanted to lie down in the room full of ice cubes to cool off, someone interrupted his speculation. The man, a knight, gave a military salute and said, "Your Highness, the FΓΌhrer has come and asked me to inform you to go with you to meet the foreign envoys. ”

Wang Lishuang sighed and said, "It's really not easy, I know, let's go now." He commanded the coachman.

"Yes, Your Highness." The coachman then pursued in the direction of the knight.

Vijaya Diplomatic Embassy

The Vijaya Diplomatic Pavilion is the second largest diplomatic embassy in Cham and is mainly used to receive foreign ministers. The number one diplomatic center is undoubtedly the embassy in Panduranga, which is undoubtedly the first in terms of size and luxury. However, in order to receive foreign envoys, the republican government built another embassy in Vijaya to receive visiting missions, and the embassy in Panduranga was used to entertain the missions stationed in Cham.

"Long live your Highness, long live, long live." Seeing the appearance of the Pengyu here, the envoys of various countries saluted to the Pengqiao.

He hurriedly stopped them and said, "Fellow emissaries, there is no need to make this great gift. Everyone who comes is a guest, how can it be? Then arrange for each person to take their place.

The foreign minister of Cham said to the ruler of Pengyu: "Your Highness, you are here, please take a seat." As he spoke, he guided the canopy to the throne.

Ji Pengyu gently stopped him and said quietly: "I won't take the lead, you are the protagonist this time, you sit in the main seat, I just sit in the deputy seat, and the country will still rely on you in the future." ”

The minister was stunned for a moment, extremely moved, he knew before that he was generous and benevolent, and today he saw that this was really the case.

The foreign secretary's name is Nguyen Cha Hua, a native of Vijaya, and until then he had been an obscurity. Only now, he was promoted to Foreign Secretary.

The envoys of various countries first sent their blessings, and then discussed diplomatic relations. The Republic of Champa continued the foreign policy of the Champa kingdom, recognizing favorable contracts and overturning all harmful treaties. Although the previous diplomatic relations were recognized, the new ones had to be re-established, so the main focus of this diplomatic activity was the signing of new diplomatic contracts.

In addition to normalizing diplomacy, the meeting also discussed new types of diplomatic relations and ways of getting along. He listened carefully, and it was the first time for him that so many envoys had gathered together.

After the meeting, he hurried back to the palace, and the reception of foreign envoys was still a headache for those people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he should not be an idler.

Most of the parts of the steam engine have been produced, and now he is waiting for him to go back and assemble them.

Half an hour later

Wang Lishuang wiped his sweat and said, "Okay, it's assembled, just install this lid and you're done." ”

Hearing this, the craftsman hurriedly picked up the lid and prepared to install it, but Wang Lishuang stopped him and said, "Don't worry, I'll install the lid later, and try to see if it can run." ”

Wang Lishuang took out a wooden stick and pressed it on the piston, and soon the piston moved inward with the force, and the rod soon moved with the piston, followed by the gear.

"Alright, it should be fine. Press the piston back and put it up. Wang Lishuang asked the dodge craftsman to install it.

Then he got up and called the other workers and asked them to help bring in the coal, which is in the south, and the temperature is high, so there is generally no need for heating, so the price of coal is very low here. But in fact, even people in the northern part of the Central Plains do not use coal for heating, this thing is not as good as firewood, that is, iron smelting is more useful.

"Your Highness, it's already installed." The craftsman is back to his life.

"Okay, bring the other gears as well." Wang Lishuang commanded, if you want to test the performance of the gear, it is undoubtedly best to directly reflect it with a certain object.

Wang Lishuang installed a few gears on the steam engine and was ready to start experimenting.

The craftsman first lit the flammable material in the burner and put some firewood in it before throwing coal into it.

The temperature in the furnace continued to rise, and the gears began to rotate slowly, and the craftsmen couldn't help but cheer when they saw it.

"Alright, let's put out the fire first, there are still problems." Wang Lishuangdao.

"Yes, Your Highness." The workers stepped forward and pulled out all the firewood and coal.

"Your Highness, isn't that good? Didn't the gears turn successfully? The craftsman asked, puzzled, apparently they had already made a steam engine.

"Didn't you hear that machine pop?"

"I hear you. Your Highness, shouldn't there be this voice? The craftsman asked curiously.

Wang Lishuang didn't explain to him that the invention of the steam engine was beyond people's existing knowledge, so he only replied: "It shouldn't be." ”

He probably knew what the problem was, it should be that there was a problem with the air tightness of the cylinder block, and due to the limitations of the production process, it could not produce seamless parts. It is difficult to do tight parts, not to mention the current era of extremely underdeveloped productivity, but Wang Lishuang has a way, since there is air leakage, it is not okay to pad a layer of rubber.

Two hours later, Wang Lishuang started the experiment again, which not only installed a rubber hanger in the cylinder block, but also added it to the air inlet and outlet.

"Let's get started, it's fire."

The gears slowly began to turn, and then continued to accelerate, remaining at an almost constant level.

Wang Lishuang nodded and said, "This time it looks almost the same." ”

"What's the use of this invented by Your Highness?" The craftsman asked curiously.

"That's so useful." Wang Lishuang said, since the steam engine has been built, the next step is to load him into the car. Wang Lishuang decided to wait until he returned to Hehai County to continue studying the assembly of the vehicle, and now it was time to prepare for the return trip, where Xiao Li and Liu Yuqi had been waiting for almost a week. Alas, I don't know how they are progressing now, seven days, I created seven days for you, Xiao Li, that kid doesn't know if it's okay, if it doesn't work, I have to laugh at him this time.

Wang Lishuang no longer thought about this, but asked people to pack up their things and leave every afternoon.
