In the past two days, a huge change has taken place in the real academy in the southern part of the city of Shendu - an annex building suddenly appeared next to the main hall that was secret, with an occasional clicking sound.

Due to the mobilization of a large number of cultivators, just ten days later, another seemingly sturdy and massive building was erected on the edge of the main hall.

If the appearance of the previous hall was simple, the appearance of this hall can only be described as simple, except for some expensive glass windows, the whole building is square, and it looks like a box from a distance.

The only difference from the surroundings is that there is a huge chimney next to this building, and white smoke is emitted from time to time along with the roar in this room.

Naturally, this new building attracted the attention of the school's teachers and students, but unfortunately this building was surrounded by military garrisons from the beginning of its construction, so the teachers and students knew nothing but that it was important to be sure that this building was very important.

Until the day the building was fully completed, the teachers and students of the school were surprised to find that more than a dozen black four-wheeled carriages had returned to the school, and each carriage had a gold or silver monogram on the door.

"Your Majesty and the Eight Great Princes and Kings are here, the Prime Minister is here, and there are other officials." Looking at the stopped carriages and the big people who walked down from the carriages one after another, the teachers and students present became more and more surprised.

Although they are here at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they can see all kinds of big people from time to time, but it is also the first time for them to see so many big people at one time.

The big men didn't stop when they got out of the car, but hurried into the newly built room.

As soon as they entered, they felt a wave of heat coming from the room.

Fortunately, characters of this level either had excellent cultivation in themselves, or they had some kind of protective magic weapon or even magic weapon on their bodies, so they quickly let the temperature around them cool down, and then looked at the huge machine in front of them.

It was a huge machine made of pure steel, and as the flames burned, the water in the boiler quickly turned into water vapor, which moved the pistons and the connecting rods and gears into motion.

If Liang En were here, he would have found that this steam engine was not an enlarged version of the pot camel engine he had given before, but had replaced the core boiler with a water-tube boiler that he had only taken out the drawings and briefly explained.

Compared with the boiler of the boiler, the structure of the water tube boiler is more complex, the volume is larger, and the utilization rate of water and fuel is higher, but relatively speaking, the manufacturing to maintenance is also more complex, and it often requires professionals to complete the operation and maintenance.

Of course, this level of machinery is certainly not difficult for those Mo disciples who have studied this way for thousands of years, and in less than a week of getting started, they are already able to skillfully operate this boiler and power the computer next door.

"Juzi!" After looking at the giant of the linen straw rope and saluting, Emperor Xianjia took the lead in returning the half-salute, and then pointed to the boiler behind him and asked. "Is this the machine you said earlier that can change a country's fortunes?"

"Yes, that's right, we've always fantasized about being able to build such a machine, but we didn't expect such a machine to come from the hands of a Taoist sword cultivator."

Juzi showed a smile that looked a little tangled, after all, under normal circumstances, Taoist cultivators were not good at mechanical manufacturing, let alone sword cultivation, which was recognized as a hard craft.

But this is the case, most of the Mo disciples who communicated with Liang En before were cultivators, and after a few days of getting along, it was easy to distinguish Liang En's cultivation direction and cultivation level from the aura on Liang En's body.

Especially in the case of not learning any concealment exercises, the sharp aura on Liang En's body, who had obtained his current cultivation through adding points in a short period of time, could not be hidden in the eyes of these cultivators at all.

After a few brief pleasantries, the man led the men who would decide the future fate of the entire empire to a high platform in the room, and explained the steam engine in front of a few drawings.

"Unlike the machines we built before, this machine doesn't require any spiritual power to maintain and operate, and it can really be used by ordinary people

The machinery used, like this boiler—"

Because he happened to talk about what he was good at, this big man gushed about the drawings.

Obviously, these basic professional things are very boring, but everyone didn't interrupt them out of respect for the scholars, so within a few minutes, all the listeners became drowsy.

Fortunately, after ten minutes, Juzi also realized that he had taken out the set he taught the students. So he changed his painting style, and changed the content from the principle of machinery to the social value of these machines.

"According to our inspection, these machines can be built and maintained to run completely by ordinary people, without the intervention of any supernatural forces, and we have successfully used this steam engine to provide stable power for the computer."

"Is it true that supernatural powers don't need to intervene?" When Juzi said the results of his examination, almost all the emperors, nobles, and officials who sat there and listened to the lecture showed expressions of disbelief.

After all, people have some giant things to worship, not to mention that the industrial steam engine underneath is far more complex than any mechanism they have seen before, and it is not at all like something that ordinary people can build.

"Yes, these steam traps don't require supernatural forces to be created." When it comes to his field of expertise, Juzi immediately explained.

"Of course, it will definitely not work with the current technology, but I believe that in the near future, the production of these things will indeed be able to be made by ordinary people."

According to Juzi, the production process of this machine does not require the intervention of extraordinary power, but the current technical level has not reached a certain height, so it can only be compensated by extraordinary power.

However, he also believes that once the first machines are trained and made with extraordinary strength, the later machines will be able to replicate themselves and be fully rolled out.

"By that time, we will be able to exert the power of ten, hundred, or even a thousand people as long as we consume a certain amount of fuel, and we will surely enter a new era at that time."

"Wow—"

The audience below applauded as everyone understood that the invention was not just about saving manpower, but about a key to the future.

Unlike the modern world, the problem faced in this ancient world was not the contradiction between limited resources and a growing population, but the fact that there were vast resources but not enough manpower.

Especially unlike the modern world, in addition to the surrounding wilderness, the newly established Great Song Dynasty also has countless small worlds like Dongtian to explore.

As a result, even if the population of an entire country is larger than that of the modern world at the same time, it is still far from sufficient for such a large area of population.

Therefore, all practices that can save manpower and increase productivity are very important to Da Song, which is why the audience is so excited.

"By the way, did we pay that Mr. Liang enough? Don't slack off on a talent like this."

After everyone's excitement passed, Juzi suddenly looked at the emperor and asked.

"Of course." Emperor Xianjia stroked his beard and said. "It's just that these things haven't shown their effect yet, so the pay isn't too high, but I'm sure he'll like us to make it up."
