In the evening, before dinner, Lu Chunjing came to report the summary of today's visit by hundreds of officials, which was not bad, after all, even the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites who had sent opinions were taken care of, and the rest of the courtiers dared to say anything.

And the people of this era, who ever thought of the city that never sleeps.

The splendor of the imperial city that never sleeps is already enviable.

If Gyeonggi can do the same, it will be a great thing.

In the past, the great atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, I can also have it.

Meddlesome!

As for Your Majesty's costing and labor-intensive move, whether it is suspected of being a good meritorious, it is your courtiers' turn to take care of it, and it is not very reasonable to use Your Majesty's cultural and martial arts to make some face.

】

Just like the emperor, he worked hard for 20 years, and after the Zen throne, he helped His Majesty Guang'an to assist the government.

There is no merit and hard work.

So now when the emperor is playing in the Qianqing Palace, as long as it is not too much, the emperor, the Empress Dowager Wu and even the Empress Dowager Yu will not interfere with the emperor's happiness.

Therefore, after the visit of hundreds of officials, there was a sound of praise.

There are also many people who have been greatly shaken, especially the young officials who have newly joined the ranks in the past two years, who have broadened their horizons and feel that according to Lu Chunjing's explanation, as long as electricity becomes a new resource, then Daming will have a great future.

Zhu Jianji planted a scientific seed for the Ming civil and military officials, so that the goal of sparking the prairie in the future was basically achieved.

……

……

In the winter of the second year of Guang'an, the Guanting Reservoir was completed.

Before the end of the year, with the chemical group of the Academy of Engineering Yu Kang led a variety of Taoist priests and alchemists to get out the rubber production process, and then instructed the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Engineering to make a production line for the mass production of wire and wire sheath using machinery, and then Zhu Jianji transferred some funds from the Daming Royal Bank, which calculated the annual accounts, and then asked Zhu Qiyu to give some money from his private treasury, so that the Royal Power Company worked overtime, and the important line was completed in the city, and the imperial city line was connected to the grid and safely transformed.

After that, the Zhang Yao family owned by the Langzhong Zhang Yao family of the criminal department, which had been merged into the glaze workshop of the Royal Power Company, transported the glazed bulbs that had been produced long ago into the city, installed street lamps for the public lines of the city, and installed them for free for the people.

Well, the first time I used the bulb was free.

After that, you have to buy it from the Royal Power Company's full name store.

Over the years, the glaze workshop has been working hard to tackle the performance of light bulbs, and the hard work has paid off, especially after the research and development of special steel in the steelmaking mill has made progress, it has made tungsten with high purity.

Therefore, the service life of the bulb is greatly improved.

It can be used for about two months at the shortest.

This performance is acceptable to the people, after all, the bulbs sold by the Royal Power Company are not expensive.

Well, in the later stage, various shapes of light bulbs will be sold to dignitaries.

That would be expensive.

Ordinary light bulbs for ordinary people are all affordable to the people.

The project of Beijing's City that Never Sleeps was basically completed before the end of the year, just waiting for a suitable night, making the entire Forbidden City the world's first miracle that never sleeps.

Because Daming has a strong expansion, and it is a trend of not hitting the south wall and not looking back.

The point is that the Ming Dynasty is not only aimed at Indochina.

Look at the posture, what South Seas and Western Oceans seem to be under the appetite of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, they are busy with the South China Sea Fleet.

And this South China Sea Fleet seems to be equipped with new warships, everyone is not stupid, the Ming Dynasty is so powerful now, the Jin Ge Group Army on land is invincible, and the naval division is basically of little use, but the Ming Dynasty has spent a lot of money to build a South China Sea Fleet, which is obviously to expand by sea.

Therefore every Gentile is in danger.

In fact, it's not that I'm afraid, some small countries are eager to be annexed by the Ming Dynasty - anyway, as the king of a small country, whether they are independent kings or canonized kings of the Ming Dynasty, there is not much difference.

On the contrary, you can become Daming's own person, a good thing.

Therefore, before the Spring Festival in the third year of Guang'an, there were many foreign kings and envoys from all over the world who came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and basically all the countries whose names could be called came.

Before the Spring Festival in Guang'an for three years, the people of Daming truly experienced the prosperous scenery of all countries coming to the dynasty.

On the streets, there were many foreign envoys and royal families like dogs.

In such a situation, the Ministry of Rites is busy like a dog.

As Ming officials, they were both painful and happy—even the smallest officials of the Ministry of Rites, foreign envoys and kings carefully revered them.

I am afraid that I will offend Daming and have no good fruit to eat.

However, Zhu Jianji didn't have time to care about these foreigners for the time being, he was a little busy and very excited.

Because the steam tank came out!

After the decisive results of the multi-year, costly steam engine project, with its support, the steel warships of the steam, which had been driven by steam, were progressing very quickly.

Because of the large size of the steam battleship and the more responsible layout, it is still improving the layout design procedure, and if you want to really produce the first steam battleship, it will probably wait for the second half of the third year of Guang'an.

But the steam tank is simple.

A tank of the right power, with a few combat operators, and a heavy gun with unnecessary parts, then put it on the turret of the tank, and then install a machine gun under the turret that has been continuously developed and improved performance, and then according to the total weight and space design, the appropriate ammunition is installed, and then the tank is successful.

As for its defenses, it basically doesn't matter.

Because it was originally a steel skin.

In this era, except for artillery with equal lethality, no one can break the defense of steam tanks.

It's just that there are still a lot of problems.

Because steam tanks need to burn coal to produce steam for power, a tank consumes an incredible amount of coal, and the weight of the tank, the weight of the shells, and the weight of the combatants, it is destined that the tank has no more space to store coal mines.

So the endurance of the tank is not very high.

After all, it's a steam tank.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Jianji instructed the tank project department to develop a new type of combat vehicle, which did not have combat capabilities, was also steam-driven, and had only one performance: large enough space.

Once the tank is on the battlefield, this vehicle is responsible for the supply of coal for the tank's endurance.

So it also takes a lot.

But because the demand for steel is too great, this combat vehicle is designed to be tires, not tracked, so strictly speaking, it can be called the world's first armored transporter.

Not only can coal be transported for tanks, but a large number of troops can also be transported to provide reinforcements for the front.

Therefore, before the Spring Festival in the third year of Guang'an, Zhu Jianji was either in the Wenhua Hall every day to deal with the chapters and folds of the war on the Indochina Peninsula, or to work in the tank project departments of the two academies.

Sometimes even food and accommodation are in tank production lines and test sites.

There is no way to do it.

After all, it is the first tank in the world, and it is a steam tank, and many flaws need to be improved, or there are trade-offs in performance and combat power.

Zhu Jianji had to do it himself.
