"No need to be polite."

Lao Zhu smiled kindly, the more he looked at his granddaughter-in-law, the more he liked it.

Not only is he thinking about Zhu Yunxi, but he is also smart enough, and he can even help Zhu Yunxi a lot, and he will definitely be able to assist Zhu Yunxi in the future, so that Daming will become more and more prosperous at the same time, and the harem will be stable.

You must know that for the king, it is extremely difficult to have a harem that is not troublesome.

And only when the harem is peaceful, the emperor will have more energy to deal with other government affairs.

Zhu Yunxi also said: "Let's go, let's go and see what the situation is inside." ”

Although the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau has always been researched by Zhu Yunxi after picking the head to determine the direction, Zhu Yunxi sometimes throws out a lot of ideas.

So what the specific situation is, what exactly is researched, Zhu Yunxi is not particularly clear.

For these, he only knew about it through Xu Miaojin.

The last rifling incident was only after Xu Miaojin reported that he learned that the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau had achieved a new breakthrough.

"Yes!"

Xu Miaojin naturally took the order and led everyone to go deeper.

The newly expanded Jinling Eighteen Workshops did not restore the original pattern of small workshops, but changed to a wide factory with tall factory buildings.

Inside, the utensils are being produced in an assembly line.

At the same time, the whole factory borrowed the role of water power to make a set of machinery, which can save a lot of manpower.

Today's goal, however, is not to visit a specific production plant.

So after passing over the factories, Xu Miaojin led the group to a closed room, although one side of the house faced the river, and the other three walls were sealed.

Only one small door can pass through.

Behind the small door, there is a dark corridor, confused and unsure of where it leads.

"So mysterious?"

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but complain.

The dark corridor was not wide, and he couldn't see the road ahead, but he often bumped into the wall left and right.

"Quiet!"

"Just look at the three of you!"

Zhu Di turned around and scolded.

Soon, the dark corridor came to an end, and the sudden light made everyone can't help but cover their eyes.

After getting used to it, I saw that there was a very large room in front of me.

Inside, many craftsmen were busy with their own work, and in the room, two things stood out the most, one was a huge stove that was bubbling with thick steam and constantly roaring.

The other is a boat made of steel parked on the lake.

Elsewhere, there are artisans beating muskets with strange shapes.

There are even some craftsmen who are fiddling with bottles of colorful potions.

It looks very weird.

The scene in front of him made Lao Zhu, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi the three brothers wonder if they were in the wrong place.

Is this still a Ming dynasty?

When did Daming have such a place? There are so many creations in it that they haven't even seen before!

Especially in the huge stove, the craftsman added water to it while adding charcoal to it.

It will continue to make a roaring sound, and then drive the huge wheels behind it to rotate wildly, and the car will clatter, click, click.

And the ship made entirely of steel is even more strange.

Wouldn't such a heavy ship sink? And, even if you don't sink, can you run?

Speaking of which, though.

The most shocking thing for several people was the colorful potions.

It looks very strange with eerie bubbles.

"This is ......" Lao Zhu couldn't bear it at first, pointed to the huge stove, and asked Xu Miaojin.

Xu Miaojin immediately led everyone over.

It turned out that this was not a furnace, but also a variety of devices and thick pipes.

"Your Majesty, this is a steam engine."

"As long as there is water and charcoal, it can provide power, don't underestimate this machine, now the strength of this machine alone is no less than the strength of three horses."

Lao Zhu's jaw was about to fall.

Pointing to this thing, he said, "Just such a thing can have the strength of three horses?" ”

"And just add water and charcoal?"

There are not many other things in Daming, and water and charcoal can be said to be inexhaustible!

On the contrary, it is the horses, which are expensive to eat, and it is troublesome to take care of.

And you can't overdo it.

But the machine in front of me is the most useless thing for people, although people can't do without water, but there is not too much water in this world!

Lao Zhu couldn't help but light up.

But then he frowned violently and asked, "But...... Even if you have the strength of three horses, how can you use it? ”

If you want to talk about how to use horses, of course Lao Zhu knows.

But for such a machine, Lao Zhu was a little confused.

"There are just so many places available."

Xu Miaojin pointed to the iron ship outside and said, "It's like using this machine to make this ship move." ”

"You don't need a sail to move yourself."

Subsequently, Xu Miaojin gave several examples.

"It's a pity that the power output of this steam engine is still too low to meet the strength required by large equipment, so it can only be idle here now."

"It is expected that the power of the steam engine will be increased to at least ten horses before it can be officially put into operation."

And there is still a long way to go from this step.

It will take at least a few years.

Zhu Yunxi stood behind everyone and didn't say a word, he naturally understood the situation of the steam engine, at least for the time being.

A few years later, there were only ten horses.

And to develop to the peak of the steam engine, with the strength of 6,000 horses, it is not known how many years it will take.

I'm afraid it takes the accumulation of generations to do it.

Although the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are smart, they can't start from scratch, and in the face of the basic blank knowledge, they have to cross the river by feeling the stones, and they naturally have to pay a lot of price on the way.

And in Lao Zhu, they were extremely interested in the steam engine.

When I asked in detail.

Zhu Yunxi came to the place where he saw the chemical experiment taking place, and of course he was not surprised by the steam engine.

What is really surprising is that the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty actually started to study chemistry that they just mentioned, and looking at this, they have already achieved certain results!

That's the real bonus!

If you want to support the modern Ming Dynasty in Zhu Yunxi's plan, you must walk on both legs of physics and chemistry at the same time.

Otherwise, if there is one less, there is a risk of falling!

Behind the crowd.

Looking at the hot research department, the three Zhu Gaochi brothers couldn't help but glance at each other.

Put it all together.

whispered: "Second, third, pinch my thigh." ”

"I don't think I'm dreaming, when did Daming become like this?"

The second child, Zhu Gaoxu, was also shocked.

grabbed Zhu Gaochi's thigh and hit it hard, and Zhu Gaochi cried and called his mother.

"Dick! You're going to kill someone! ”
