"Shhhhh

Zhu Gaoyi and Zhang Yingzhen secretly came to the Ministry of Industry and did not notify Zhang Qixin in advance.

"You, what do you mean by doing a surprise inspection?"

Zhu Gaoyao was gesturing all the way, signaling them to be quiet and quiet.

In this way, Zhu Gaoyi and Zhang Yingzhen walked through the crowd and came to the important place of the Ministry of Industry.

"Your Majesty, the people in this Ministry of Industry are working day and night, it is impossible to be lazy, what is your intention!"

"Shhhh

Under the leadership of Zhang Qixin, everyone in the Ministry of Industry is like a chicken blood, crazy work, originally a task that took three days, but now they are working overtime, and they can do it in less than a day!

Even at night, the work department is brightly lit, and no one goes home from work because it is dark!

Are these people going to die?

Zhu Gaoyi also once asked that Master Feng, now that the banknotes are only left for printing, and the research team led by Zhang Qixin has been rolled to the end.

Everyone, including Zhang Qixin, only sleeps two hours a day! During the day, they not only have to think about the structure, structure, and materials of the steam engine, but also engage in heavy manual labor to cast the designed steam engine!

Recording it over and over again is a great stress for both mentally and physically!

This is not something that ordinary people can hold!

It's hard to imagine what could make them like this feeling of being inappropriate.

You must know that in his previous life, Zhu Gaoyao was deeply affected by the pain of ninety-nine-six! Who is willing to take the initiative to work overtime, and still have no pay, and have to listen to the leader nagging next to them.

And what about these people?

It was all the other way around, volunteering to work overtime and getting full compensation! Even the overtime hours have reached the level of anti-humanity.

Seeing Zhu Gaozhen say this, Zhang Yingzhen just smiled.

Zhu Gaoxi is a frequent visitor to the Ministry of Industry, and none of these people guarding the outside and ordinary craftsmen do not know Zhu Gaoxi.

Their emperor brought the queen mother to the Ministry of Industry in person, and also signaled them to keep quiet, there must be something important.

Although, the feudal traditional etiquette made them subconsciously want to kneel down at this time and shout long live.

So they were all stuck in a state of half-kneeling at this time, so they could only bow their bodies and send Zhu Gaoyi past in front of them.

"Your Majesty?"

"Shhhh

This is the Imperial Forest Army sent by Zhu Gaofu to guard around the Ministry of Industry.

"Don't alarm them, I will go in and take a look, you will continue to protect the Ministry of Works, and don't let anyone steal the secrets in it, and don't even let a fly go in!"

"Yes!"

When the commander of the Imperial Forest Army received the order, he silently bowed down and watched Zhu Gaojiao enter the Ministry of Industry building.

Now the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are working day and night, and the degree really makes him feel shocked, especially after Zhang Qixin gave them a lot of chicken blood, it is even more and more unhuman!

Working in the Ministry of Work all day and night, even eating, drinking, and sleeping in it, how can normal people stand this?

"Your Majesty, what is this behemoth?"

As soon as Zhu Gaoyi and Zhang Yingzhen walked in, they saw a huge metal work parked in the open space, all of which were forged from jet-black steel, ten meters long and five meters high!

Seeing such a huge steel creation for the first time, Zhang Yingzhen couldn't help but breathe!

And on the whole, the steel used is very heavy, and even the bluestone pavement below has been collapsed or even shattered!

What is it?

When Zhang Yingzhen saw the locomotive for the first time, she couldn't help but feel shocked.

At this moment, the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry are still in full swing to debug.

"Mr. Zhang, now after detailed calculations, the tooth diameter of the wheel and the transmission shaft we are connected to are close to perfect, and the transmission efficiency has reached the almost limit of the current structure, and there is almost no possibility of improvement!"

"Now it's time for the power test and strength test, and if it can pass it successfully, then this locomotive can run on the railway!"

Although the Ming Dynasty of this era did not have a special formulaic conclusion such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, because of the manufacture of this locomotive, Zhang Qixin and the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry summarized the knowledge of their predecessors and formulated quite a lot of laws and formulas.

And based on these formulas, they quantitatively built this huge locomotive.

"Now Your Majesty has laid the railway for dozens of miles, as long as the strength test of this locomotive passes, it can be disassembled and installed on the track!"

Zhang Qixin had a pair of big dark circles under his eyes, although his expression was tired, but his eyes were full of excitement and enthusiasm.

Because he understands that the steam engine they are developing and the train they are testing are epoch-making products that can usher in a new era!

This is a miracle that cannot be compared with manpower, if it is used properly, then the whole country, the entire Ming labor force can be replaced by a steam engine!

For example, the kind of mechanical action that needs to be repeated many times in a row, grinding, weaving, cast iron, can be completely replaced, more efficient, and not tired of this kind of washing, and even these models and machines, they have already completed the submission design, just waiting to be manufactured.

And if the current locomotive passes the test, on the train track, its transportation speed far exceeds that of horses and ships, and the transportation volume can reach tens of thousands of catties, or even hundreds of thousands of catties.

It can be said that all the weapons, baggage and troops of a large army, pulled by this one locomotive, can be transferred from the capital to the Western Regions in two days!

You don't need to spend your stamina and other resources!

If the Ming army hits wherever the railway goes, then the Ming will be an invincible army!

Even without His Majesty, the army of the Ming Dynasty would be invincible.

Not only that, Zhang Qixin also thought that if this kind of steam engine is installed on ships and ordinary carriages, then it will be a earth-shaking change to the current pattern of transportation!

The production speed and transportation efficiency of the entire Ming Dynasty will increase by geometric multiples!

Plus the high-yielding crop that His Majesty has previously promoted - sweet potatoes! If nothing else, then Daming will usher in an era of population and technology skyrocketing!

The production cost of grain, cloth, and even various common daily necessities will be greatly reduced, and the entire people of Daming will also enjoy the blessing of this high productivity! (End of chapter)
