Chapter 14 Improving the Steam Engine

"Shhhh......h

One old and one young.

The two of them watched intently around the boiling kettle.

The old craftsman Mansan never thought that the kettle in his ordinary life would have such a great magic.

Put it before.

Whoever told him that he would stare at the boiling water motionless for an hour or two would surely scoff at it.

Zhu Gaochi sighed: "The hemp rope you came up with is very good, which greatly reduces the consumption of heat energy and reduces the operating cost." ”

Don't underestimate the craftsman in front of you.

The old notions, as if Western technology, were invented by scientists.

In fact, it is a false impression.

For example, the steam engine.

Beginning of the XVIII century.

Invented by an English blacksmith.

In the eighteenth century, China had already begun to regress in civilization.

Two hundred years ago, in the mid-to-late sixteenth century, Chinese craftsmen were able to fire different levels of low-carbon and high-carbon steel.

The difference between the softness and rigidity of the two is that they are used to make bird guns, self-generated fire guns and knives, and furlong machines and Hongyi cannons respectively.

"It's a pity."

Wan San shook his head.

In the field he is familiar with, Wan San is proud.

Zhu Gaochi in front of him, in his eyes, is no longer an unapproachable noble, but a peer who can communicate.

Zhu Gaochi was very happy.

Compared to the generations to come, the ancients were proud.

Before the XVII century.

They do have the capital to be proud of.

General History of Science and Technology in the World.

In every century, with the exception of the Yuan and Qing dynasties, China's science and technology is a long story.

The huge space that occupies more than other countries is the respect and recognition that Western civilization has for them.

Even if it's the Song Dynasty.

In the book "General History of World Science and Technology", in those centuries at that time, Westerners did not look at Liao, Jin, and Yuan, but only wrote about the Song Dynasty.

The advanced science and technology of the Song Dynasty were extremely important.

Also gave an excellent review.

Explanations are also given.

The ideas in the book, such as that the Greek civilization was excellent, were unfortunately destroyed by barbarism, and the history of civilization was destroyed, which was a loss for the whole of humanity.

The demise of the Song Dynasty was also a loss to human civilization.

Zhu Gaochi attached great importance to Wan San, and Wan San felt that he was not worthy of the attention of Prince Yan and was ashamed of the efficiency of the steam engine.

"Specialized...... Royalties. Wan San twisted his mouth and said, "The grass people don't dare to take that much silver." ”

Bitter face.

"The eldest prince keeps it for himself."

After thinking about it, I was a little reluctant to add.

"Otherwise, it's okay to look at it, but you don't want so much silver."

"It's all or it's all at all."

Zhu Gaochi gave Wansan a choice.

How can there be such a thing.

Isn't that embarrassing?

Under the persecution of the eldest prince, he finally chose Quanyao.

"Let's think more about how to improve the steam engine, so that you can get the silver safely, and we can earn more."

Wan San nodded and looked back at the kettle.

Explore the principles inside.

The principle is actually very simple, but the creation of things is not so simple.

"I can't see anything anymore."

Not for a while.

Wan San gave up.

He decided to go to Xishan for a few days, no longer entangled in the principle here, and explore what could be improved through the operation of the steam engine.

"Okay." Zhu Gaochi agreed.

He was grounded and couldn't leave the palace.

People must be self-aware.

It's okay to let yourself move your mouth, you can be stunned for a moment, but it can't play a role, and it will be exposed.

"If you need anything, don't be polite, you must let someone come to us."

"Huh."

Wan San nodded happily.

The eldest prince of Yanwang really had nothing to say to himself.

When I turned around, I had to call back all my apprentices who had left the school.

Who says the common people don't have their own wisdom?

Wan San is very smart.

Eggs are not put in one basket.

After his apprentice became a teacher, he sent him everywhere, in case anyone caused trouble, he would not be served in a pot.

It's also to leave a way back with yourself.

Now Wan San is determined to take refuge in the eldest prince.

People treat themselves so well, they can't let people down.

"Do you want to change your name?" Zhu Gaochi said suddenly.

In the older generation, many of them have numeric names.

It's not that they are uneducated and don't want to take names.

Handed down from the ancestors, there is no reason to use numbers to name names.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang.

Their brothers' names are also numbers, and Zhu Yuanzhang himself is called Zhu Chongba.

Because according to the regulations of the Yuan Dynasty, Han civilians were not allowed to take names, and could only replace them with numbers.

On the one hand, it is to facilitate management, and on the other hand, it can attack Han culture, insult the dignity of Han people, and make Han people numb and lose their sense of resistance.

In fact.

It is the same as the smearing of Chinese history by foreign forces in later generations.

The emperor of your Han people can't do this, that can't do it, your Han officials can't do this, that can't do it, and you Han people can't do this, that can't do it.

As people gradually accept this kind of thinking, they will become numb to history and fall into self-denial.

And with it.

National identity dies.

Only people who have a certain understanding of history can clearly affirm that these concepts are all nonsense and nonsense.

Wan San was stunned.

His family is genealoge.

Later, he couldn't survive, the clan was too poor, and after several migrations, the family was scattered, and the genealogy didn't know where it went.

"Forget it."

"The grandson of the grass man has a name, please ask the gentleman to get the name."

"Okay, that's good."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

In terms of tenacity, who can compare to the Han people.

Suffering never defeated them, and in the face of a new life with a smile, countless people returned to their original lives and began to regain civilization.

"In the future, the more steam engines are sold, let your grandson go to school."

"Hmm."

Wan San nodded heavily.

"He didn't study well, broke his legs, and when he grew up, he was admitted to fame and glory to his ancestors, so that he could be worthy of the old man."

"If there is a day, let him come and kowtow to the eldest prince."

The black line on Zhu Gaochi's face.

Heard an answer that wasn't what he wanted to hear.

There are veterans in the industry in the family, and there is a cultivation of the atmosphere since childhood, shouldn't the children inherit the ancestral business.

At the beginning, he was taller than others.

Pity.

Although the craftsmen are richer than the farmers.

The social atmosphere is difficult to change.

Patents can only be a means, not absolute, so that people can live and work in peace and contentment, and are willing to invest in other industries, but also rely on others.

Zhu Gaochi asked people to send Wansan away.

At this time.

Katsuragi is on his way back.

People grow old and become fine.

The other party is not easy to deal with, and he is helpless to take the other party.

Quite a headache.

"What do they want?"

Katsuragi asked.

"Steam engine."

The entourage hurriedly said.

"What the eldest prince came up with?"

The attendant nodded repeatedly.

"But if you put it in, you won't forget to eat."

"Ugh."

Katsuragi sighed.

When the other party entered Beiping and passed through Xishan District, why did they focus on it.

"We must focus on stability."

"What about the eldest prince?"

The attendant worried.

Katsuragi shook his head.

Recently, it has been an eventful season, and there can be no accident in Yanwangfu.
