For a while, he quickly agreed to Yingyinyan to let her sort out the manuscript for herself, and as soon as Yingyinyan was sent away, Jiang Xia regretted it.

Pity.

There was no turning back from the bow.

You can only bite the bullet.

It's just, where did he read any travelogues?

At most, he had heard of the names of Marco Polo and Xu Xiake, and he didn't even know what they wrote, and he hadn't even read a complete travel guide on the APP.

Writing a travelogue?

Is it difficult to write Journey to the West?

Jiang Xia sighed, the whole person fell into a malaise, and what made him most sad was that he set up a flag to write a travelogue, not to mention, and an assistant who was urging him to change all the time.

It's almost dying.

Sure enough, early the next morning, as soon as Jiang Xia got up and opened the door, he saw an aggrieved face.

Yingyin Yin.

Jiang Xia suddenly put back the lazy waist he was stretching, and his yawn was interrupted halfway, "Princess? ”

Seeing that Jiang Xia finally got up, Ying Yinyan glanced up at the sky, and couldn't help but say angrily, "Does Mr. have to sleep until this time every day?" ”

Jiang Xia subconsciously glanced at Yingbu, and Yingbu immediately replied, "Sir, it's already time." ”

When.

Jiang Xiazi Chouyin counted it before he reacted, that is, it looked like 9 o'clock was less than 11 o'clock.

"Uh...... Wake up at this point, can't you? ”

Sleep until you wake up naturally, isn't it naturally this time?

Ying Yin Yan pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she held back and asked with a smile, "Sir!" Here we go! ”

"Start? What to start? Jiang Xia's eyes widened, "The princess didn't want me to write a book so early, right?" ”

"Or else?" Ying Yinyan's expression paused, and the corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously, "Ah, Mr. has to have breakfast first!" ”

"Hmm...... ...... to the

After breakfast, he still has to bask in the sun, take a walk, and then exercise when his digestion is almost complete.

If there is any problem that Zhang Liang can't solve, or if you need to stamp it yourself, you have to deal with official business again.

Well, if there is any progress in the research and development of Xiangrian, he will also follow up.

……

Well?

Jiang Xia suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Immediately upload Xiang Li'an, I have a good idea!" ”

Ying Yin Yan suddenly pursed her lips, "What good ideas does Mr. have again?" Is it more important than writing a travelogue? ”

"Of course it's important!"

Jiang Xia nodded very affirmatively, it must be important!

Writing is such a thing, if you can grind it, no matter how big or small, it is an important thing.

What Jiang Xia just thought of was a clock!

He has never been accustomed to the time of this era, what is ugly, and he has to convert it in his mind for a long time.

Therefore, Jiangxia's unit of timekeeping is basically ...... every time

Yingbu.

The day is divided into morning, noon, afternoon, and evening.

To be more precise, no.

He just couldn't do it.

"It's like there's something clockwork that turns the hands." Jiang Xia roughly drew a circle on the ground, "Every time you jump, the pointer can point to the corresponding scale, no matter what time it is, you can use it to know the exact time." ”

Hearing Jiang Xia's explanation, Ying Yinyan's interest was gradually attracted, "If there is such a thing, it can be accurately timed on rainy days and in the middle of the night, which is indeed much more convenient." ”

Xiang Lian nodded affirmatively, "It's really not very difficult, but if you really want to do it, it will require a lot of precision, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to modulate for a while." Moreover, the volume may not be too small. ”

"It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as one is developed and slowly improved, in the end, everyone can wear a watch on their wrist, and they no longer have to look at the sun to determine the time!"

"Hmm......" Aerian nodded contemplatively, it was very difficult, but it was not impossible to overcome.

What's more, their Mo family can even make mechanical robots, and the main soul inside is also clockwork.

It's not hard to make a watch.

It's just that......

Xiang Lian is a little worried, recently, the task given to him by Mr., coupled with more and more strange ideas from scientific researchers, the research and development personnel are a bit seriously insufficient!

"Sir, there has been a serious shortage of manpower in the R&D department recently, and I'm afraid we need to expand our recruitment......"

Jiang Xia was stunned, "Serious lack of manpower? ”

There will definitely be a shortage of people in R&D, but it won't be that serious, right?

"Mr. Qiyu, there has been progress in the research and development of steam engines recently, and most of the R&D personnel have been transferred to develop steam engines, so other R&D projects are a bit short of people."

Jiangxia: ???

He didn't pay attention to the progress of research and development for a while, but the research and development of steam engines actually made progress?

As soon as the steam engine was mentioned, Xiang Lian became interested, "Recently, we have been continuously improving, and the powerful power of steam drives the rotation of machinery, as long as it is adjusted well, it can completely replace human forging." ”

"In addition, we also tried to improve the semi-manual excavator made by Qian Tang with a steam engine."

"It can even replace areas where water wheels can't be installed, pumping water up from the ground."

……

Ann's eyes lit up as he spoke.

Worthy of a gentleman!

Only now did they know what kind of artifact the steam engine that Mr. had casually mentioned!

There are so many uses!

If these basic modifications are successful, they may also be able to be used as aircraft power.

He had been developing the aircraft for some time, but he had not been able to find a power source that could support the aircraft for a long time.

Isn't this just around the corner?

"Not bad! The application of the steam engine is indeed very extensive, as long as you can completely improve the steam engine, it is not a problem to pay homage to the prime minister! Your Majesty and I will be rewarded! ”

Xiang Lian didn't care much about these rewards, his expression didn't change much, and he still looked like he wasn't interested in anything.

"Actually, you can also imagine that as long as the power of the steam engine is enough, is it not a problem to drive a carriage? In this way, is it possible to replace a horse-drawn carriage? ”

Xiang Lian thought for a moment and nodded very affirmatively, "I think it's feasible, so I'll add this goal to the R&D goal." ”

Jiang Xia snorted, no wonder Xiang Lian felt that there was a lack of manpower, the steam engine was built, could there be no shortage of people?

"You go back to factories and schools to pick a few good seedlings and transfer them to the R&D department, money is not a problem!"

Ying Yin Yan took a deep look at Jiang Xia, and said to Xiang Li with a smile, "Yes! The gentleman is right, money is not an issue. ”
