Chapter 674: Steam Generator
The moment he stepped into the palace gate, Li Xing's mood was very complicated.
No matter how complicated it is, it can't stop the reality.
He followed Chu Ze and walked straight to Fengtian Palace.
"You wait here, let's go in first, and then you can come in after someone reports." Chu Ze was quite worried about Li Xing, and repeatedly told him before entering the hall, for fear that this kid would make some trouble temporarily.
Li Xing was so annoyed that he couldn't do it.
But he also knew that Chu Ze was doing it for his good.
He's not a bad guy, although he's annoying, he still responds, but his tone is very impatient.
Seeing this, Chu Ze didn't say much.
Anyway, life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky.
If Li Xing wanted to find death, he wouldn't stop him.
Chu Ze entered the main hall.
"Chen Chuze see the emperor, see His Royal Highness the Prince. The minister did not fail in his mission, and within three months he made the Ryukyus return to our Ming Dynasty, and now his prefect Li Xing is waiting outside the palace. When Chu Ze came in, the civil and military courtiers were already standing on both sides, and he stepped forward with a calm face and knelt on the ground to salute.
Today I want to see Li Xing, the person on the main throne has also changed from Zhu Biao to Zhu Yuanzhang.
In the position of Zhu Yuanzhang's right hand down, on the unicorn seat, it was Zhu Biao who was sitting.
Seeing Chu Ze, Zhu Yuanzhang looked him up and down without a trace.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Chu Ze turned black and lost weight.
When the girl sees her, she should feel distressed again.
The girl is distressed, maybe she has to read herself.
Zhu Yuanzhang instantly felt a little headache.
It's not that he's afraid that his sister will read him, but he mainly doesn't want to be read because of this kid.
"Aiqing has worked this trip, get up." Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand to help.
Chu Ze thanked him and got up.
After he stood up, Zhu Yuanzhang motioned for him to stand aside first, and then let the chamberlain Xuan Lixing enter the hall.
The inner attendant said: "Xuan, Li Xing, the prefect of Taiwan, entered the palace to meet him." ”
The moment his voice fell, a tall figure strode in from the door.
This person was dressed in a Ming official mansion, and his beautiful face was full of rebelliousness.
made Zhu Yuanzhang feel unhappy when he saw it.
Fortunately, this person's behavior was decent, and after entering the hall, he knelt down to see Zhu Yuanzhang, it was the word "minister", which seemed to be a little hot, he hesitated for a long time, and then said: "...... Minister, Li Xing visited the emperor. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care, watched Li Xing praise a few words, and asked him to step aside and stand down.
"Chu Ze." Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.
Chu Ze was standing on the sidelines and wandering out of the world.
Hearing someone shouting to him, Chu Ze hurriedly answered, walked out from the side, and said, "What does the emperor command?" ”
"You have merit for this incident, what reward do you want?"
Reward?
This Chu Ze had already thought about it.
Almost as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's words fell, Chu Ze immediately answered, looking very impatient: "We heard two days ago that the emperor recently got a new round natural impurity-free crystal, and the minister wants that." ”
Facing Chu Zebaba's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang twitched twice from the corner of his eye.
Zhu Di on the side raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Zhu Biao was also shocked.
This kid really dares to ask for it.
That crystal was very loved by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he couldn't put it down after getting it.
Now I heard that they have been well stored and prepared to give to their queen mother for the holidays in a few days.
What the father wanted to give to the queen mother, Chu Ze also dared to cut off the beard?
Timid.
Zhu Biao really wanted to give Chu Ze a thumbs up.
Zhu Di was much more refreshed, not only erecting one for Chu Ze, but also erecting two.
- You really can.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Di coldly, Zhu Di hurriedly put down his hand, coughed lightly, and then looked left and right, pretending that it was not himself who gave the thumbs up just now.
"Another." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
This good thing, he was reluctant to give it to Chu Ze.
Chu Ze smiled, a little pampered and coquettish: "Your Majesty, you can give him to us." If you put it in the warehouse, you will also eat ashes, so it is better to give it to us, maybe it can play a greater role. And we didn't take this thing for nothing, let's exchange it with the emperor, how about it? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to give it.
But Chu Ze said to change ......
"What do you get in exchange?" What is there that can be worthy of such a good crystal?
Unless Chu Ze got something good again.
Thinking of this possibility, Zhu Yuanzhang's body, which was still sitting very upright just now, immediately leaned forward, looking at Chu Ze's eyes with a hint of expectation.
He really wanted to know what good things Chu Ze got this time.
Chu Ze didn't speak, but took out a squarely folded piece of paper from his sleeve and presented it respectfully with both hands.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked the chamberlain to bring it over.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Di glanced at each other, and then turned to Zhu Yuanzhang in unison.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the paper, unfolded it, and looked at it carefully.
See......
Look a fart!
Zhu Yuanzhang said that he couldn't understand it at all.
But judging by the shape on the diagram, what kind of machine it should be.
Other than that, he couldn't see it.
Forget it, let Chu Ze explain.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed from expectation to calmness.
He raised his head, looked at Chu Ze, and asked, "Chu Ze, what is this?" ”
"Your Majesty, do you know about the steam engine?" Chu Ze didn't answer the first question.
This Zhu Yuanzhang knows.
He nodded, looked at the picture a few more times, and said, "But it's not the same as this." ”
"It's different, because it's called a steam generator. It is to use steam to drive the unit to rotate together, and convert the steam kinetic energy into the mechanical energy of the rotation of the shaft, and then use the generator to convert it into electrical energy, and then you can get electricity. Chu Ze roughly explained.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all confused when they heard it.
They couldn't understand any steam, no electricity.
Especially electricity.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also in the clouds.
"What is electricity?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.
Everyone looked at Chu Ze with blank eyes.
Chu Ze: "Electricity is, it's ......"
This question really stumped him.
He used a lot of electricity, but if he really wanted to describe it, he really didn't know how to describe it for a while.
The main thing is that even if he says it, these people may not understand it.
He had to pick up something they could understand.
Chu Ze thought about it, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he walked quickly to the outside of the hall, pointed to the sky and said to everyone: "It's similar to lightning, but the electricity we are talking about can be used for us, it can be used to illuminate, and it can also be used for cooking, heating, etc." ”
Everyone's eyes kept falling on Chu Ze.
Seeing him go out, Zhu Yuanzhang and others also subconsciously followed.
After they listened to Chu Ze's words, they all looked up at the sky-
"If you can control this electricity, isn't that what it is...... Lei Gong? ”
I don't know who said this first, and the eyes of the others when they looked at Chu Ze were instantly fanatical.
Even Zhu Di subconsciously asked: "Are you Lei Gong?" ”
Thunder, you big head!
Chu Ze's face darkened.
"What Lei Gong, the electricity you see is just a natural phenomenon, a phenomenon produced by the collision of two substances that are invisible to the naked eye. As long as we have a specific tool, we can get electricity. Chu Ze had to explain again. (End of chapter)
