It is like a steel machine the size of a room, hideous and terrifying and very characteristic beauty, which brought Zhu Di a great shock!

After hearing his father's words, Zhu Di couldn't help but whisper this strange word: "Steam train? ”

Zhu Di did not continue to ask what the steam train was, but continued to visit with his father, who should answer for him.

"This is a vehicle that will take on the main transportation work of the country in the future, and from now on, the transportation of grain, grass and all kinds of materials will no longer be a burden." Su Che said lightly, he pointed to the railroad tracks not far away, and the busy crowd, and continued to explain: "This behemoth runs on this kind of rail, and it needs to lay rails to drive on a fixed track. ”

"So how does it move? Pull by what? Zhu Di stared at the behemoth, thinking that ordinary dragons and horses can't pull this thing, I'm afraid those dragons have to come, but where are those dragons willing to do this?

"By the power of steam." Su Che smiled and said.

"Steam?" Zhu Di's eyes widened, a little incomprehensible.

"The principle is very simple, after the stoker fills the coal into the furnace, the coal is converted into heat energy during the combustion process, and the water in the locomotive boiler is heated and vaporized to form superheated steam."

"Steam enters the steam engine to expand and do work, pushing the piston of the steam engine to reciprocate; Through the connecting rod and rocker, the piston changes the reciprocating linear motion into a circular motion of the wheel, which drives the locomotive moving wheel to rotate, thereby pulling the train forward. ”

"That's how this machine works."

Zhu Di listened to his father explain the principle of the steam engine, and only felt that he was listening to the Book of Heaven, and he could understand every word and every word, but after these words were connected together, why couldn't he understand it?

But this knowledge, I seem to have heard some of it in the courses of the military academy?

Zhu Di suddenly thought of something.

He used to study!

But because it was too obscure, he didn't do in-depth research.

At this moment, when I thought of the original knowledge, I suddenly regretted it, and at that time he thought that this obscure knowledge would not be of any use at all, at least for a coarse man like him, he would not use it at all.

Who would have thought that it would come in handy so soon!

At this moment, Zhu Di also felt what it means to use a book.

Looking at Zhu Biao's subtle expression, Su Che smiled and asked, "Didn't understand?" ”

"Hmm." Zhu Biao nodded awkwardly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, you'll figure it out later, this steam engine is the simplest of all machines." Su Che said nonchalantly.

"This ...... Turned out to be the simplest one? Zhu Di asked with some surprise.

"yes." Su Che didn't say much, anyway, Zhu Di wouldn't understand.

As a kind of locomotive, the steam locomotive has the advantages of simple structure, low cost and low cost, but the disadvantage is that the thermal efficiency is too low and the body is bulky.

But even the simplest steam train, in the original history, is not so simple to manufacture, need to be industrialized to a certain extent, in the backward agricultural civilization, want to just a few years to hand out a steam train, is obviously unrealistic.

But in this world of immortals and demons, everything is possible, and the difficulty of rubbing out this steam train is not so exaggerated.

This thing has been kept under wraps.

Although there are many ministers who know Shang Fang.

But not many people know what Shang Fang is doing.

There are only a handful of people who know the work process of Shangfang.

Only a few, Su Che's true henchmen, knew more specific about the situation.

The steam locomotive built at this moment can be regarded as bringing a little industrialization shock to those conservative scholars and Confucian scholars!

A few months later.

Outside the Shang Fang Mansion.

A huge steam train was starting, billowing white steam smoke rushed out overhead, machinery roared one after another, and the terrifying steel beast, driven by the kinetic energy of the steam, slowly moved, and then faster and faster, faster and faster.

Many onlookers were frightened when they saw this scene, and they retreated one after another, scattering and fleeing.

"What a monster!"

Those ministers were no better, their eyes widened at the moment, and they couldn't keep calm at all.

Even the noble military ministers, the well-informed generals, all showed shocked expressions when they saw this moving steel beast: "This thing...... How does it move? ”

Some military ministers quickly realized the purpose of this thing, if they could pull a lot of supplies, then there would be no problems with the logistics of the war, and this hideous steel beast would change the pattern of the war in the future.

That's a good thing!

The reactions of the generals varied.

In the face of the changes of the times, everyone has their own thoughts.

Although the Ming Dynasty is a world of immortals and demons, the abundance of aura has long been inferior to that of ancient times, otherwise the flow of luck will not prevail, in this era, the great power of the individual can not withstand the torrent of luck of the imperial court, so the machine of the steam engine will also have a great effect.

In addition, the most important thing is that this kind of machine can also bring new luck!

In Su Che's eyes.

With the appearance of this machine, Da Ming's luck once again came to an unprecedented level, the purple luck above his head was like a canopy, and the black luck like those black snakes had already been completely suppressed and digested, and he couldn't even find it at the moment.

……

Between the world and the earth, if the white horse passes through the gap, it is all of a sudden.

It's just a blink of an eye, and twenty years is fleeting.

Forty years of Hongwu.

Zhu Yuanzhang, or Su Che, is already in his eighties.

In the original history, the time point when Zhu Yuanzhang walked was about the thirty-first year of Hongwu.

And in this world, because of Su Che's appearance, Zhu Biao did not die young, everything in the Ming Dynasty is developing day by day, so it is normal to live a little longer.

Now Su Che has taken a back seat and become the emperor, he is not greedy for power, when Zhu Biao has grown up thoroughly, he gave him the great position of Chan, and he focused on scientific research and development.

In the past 20 years, the Ming Dynasty has completely entered the steam age, the industrial revolution has followed, and overseas colonial expansion is also carried out in an orderly manner, and the Ming Dynasty has gradually become the most influential country in the world.

In the original timeline, it should be the industrial revolution first, and then the invention and creation of the steam engine, but in the Ming Dynasty, because of Su Che's single-handed promotion, the steam engine appeared first, and it appeared after the industrial revolution.

In the past 20 years, with the continuous attack of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian grassland has already become the pasture of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, as early as ten years ago, when the Ming steam train roared onto the grasslands, the threat of the grasslands was doomed.

On that day,

The sentinels from the Warat tribe were almost stupefied at the sight of the behemoth and the countless steam that was being raised.

era

It's changed!

In the past 20 years, the Ming Dynasty has already become strong to an unprecedented level, and Zhu Biao has also steadily taken over Zhu Yuanzhang's class, and the power of those vassal kings has also been curbed to a certain extent.

This was a relatively mild reduction of the feudal domain, which restricted the rights of the feudal king in other ways.

In the face of Zhu Biao's cutting of the domain, no one dared to say anything, and even some of the vassal kings stood up in agreement.

After all, Lao Zhu is still there, and now he dares to disobey his eldest brother for the sake of this right, so what will he not dare to do in the future?

So instead of being taught a lesson, it's better to hand over the power in your hands as soon as possible!

Even Zhu Di has to hand over power obediently.

Besides

Originally, Su Che planned to move the capital, but when the threat from the north was completely pacified, this matter was put aside for the time being - future generations will handle it themselves, and Su Che didn't need to leave the matter to all the people in one generation, it was really unrealistic.

At present, Su Che has done enough, although the problem of official corruption still cannot be eradicated, after all, it is human nature to be greedy for profits, and it will not disappear because of changes in the system and environment.

No matter how much the times change, there will still be corruption and bribery.

That's what human nature is.

All Su Che can do is to reduce the occurrence of this situation as much as possible!

Today's Ming Dynasty has entered an unprecedented prosperous era, with a steady stream of materials from all over the world being imported into China.

In the intervening decades, the changes have been dramatic.

For both the upper and lower classes, the change is enormous.

For ordinary people, being able to eat, dress warmly, eat a mouthful of meat every three or five times, and have a certain amount of rest and entertainment time, this kind of life is simply not too beautiful.

So much so that many children of the new generation now have no concept of the natural disasters and turmoil in the late Yuan Dynasty, and that kind of scene is too far away.

I only occasionally heard the old man say that Emperor Hongwu, all the people in the family starved to death back then, but that's it, he still expelled the Tartars and created an unprecedented prosperous era! Emperor Hongwu has always been thinking about the people, and he is the best emperor since the beginning of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, and there is no one!

"Is there anything else I haven't done?"

On this day, Su Che dragged his tired body back to his palace, and the yellow sun slowly set into the western mountain.

"It seems like there's a lot to be done."

"This so-called, unprecedented prosperity is nothing more than ......"

"In this era, we will continue to change."

"With the development of the times, the upper class will be completely separated from the lower class...... Although I have set several policies to combat corruption, they are far from enough......"

"This needs to change."

"A class that is detached from the bottom cannot continue to create a prosperous world."

Su Che has obviously done a lot, but things seem to be incomplete, and he does more and more.

Half an hour later.

Su Che smiled bitterly.

"That's it......"

"That's it."

"That's enough."

"Let the posterity do the things of the descendants."

"Learn to let go, learn to believe."

At this moment, Su Che can probably understand Lao Zhu's mood at the beginning, but all the top emperors hope to finish their work in one battle and use a generation to do all the things for future generations, but this is impossible after all.

"That's enough."

Thinking like this, Su Che slowly closed his eyes.

After so many years of unremitting efforts, I finally came to this point, I am really tired, and I am never more tired.

Regardless of the final evaluation, it can only end there.

End Simulation.

When Su Che opened his eyes again, everything in the simulated world dissipated like clouds and smoke from the past, and most of the fatigue accumulated over the years disappeared.

At this moment, it feels like a long, long dream.

It's an amazing feeling.

Su Che glanced down at the Book of Covenants.

The text on it continues to evolve.

[You sit in the palace watching the sunrise. 】

"The sun has finally risen. ”】

[These are your last words. 】

[On this day, the first emperor of the ages, Emperor Hongwu, died. 】

[At first, it was the palace maid who found that you didn't move, and came to her side tremblingly, and found that you had no breath, which frightened her soul, and she couldn't help crying bitterly, both frightened and sad. 】

[The frightened thing is that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has died, and the sad thing is that you, the emperor who cares about the people of the world, left like this. 】

[Soon, Prince Zhu Biao came to your side, and tears flowed silently on his face. 】

[Emperor Hongwu has died! When all the people of Jinling City heard the news, they were all stunned, and then they were overwhelmed with grief. 】

[All the people gathered outside the palace, all knelt down and wept bitterly, to send you off for the last time. 】

[The sadness spread throughout Yingtianfu, and hundreds of people were grief-stricken. 】

[With the news of Ying Tianfu, the whole world ushered in grief. 】

[The pain is so real, an emperor who is wholeheartedly for the people of the world has left them forever! 】

[Since then, there has been no Hongwu Emperor! 】

[This day is a national funeral, according to your will, everything is simple, and there is no need for too complicated funerals, nor for long filial piety, nor for valuable funeral goods. 】

Although you are dead, your will, your spirit, are still alive. 】

[Every year on this day, it is a day for the people of the world to commemorate you. 】

[Even after countless years, your exploits and deeds are still sung and praised. 】

[Since ancient times, those who have won the country are only Han and Ming!] 】

[You let this sentence make Daming a brand of China! ] 】

[End of simulation.] 】

Su Che couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he saw the follow-up deduction.

No wonder I felt so tired and tired when I ended the simulation, it didn't take long for my life to come to an end and I died in the early morning.

"Daming has become the brand of China......"

Su Che said softly, and at this moment, he suddenly noticed something and hurriedly raised his head.

But not far away, a young man wearing armor walked up, this posture was the young Zhu Yuanzhang who had just joined the army!

"You're doing a great job!"

Zhu Yuanzhang came here from not far away in just a few steps, he stared at Su Che and praised directly: "It's not in vain what we expect from you!" ”
