Chapter 276: Crossing Essentials - Making a Steam Engine (6)

Da Ming in another time and space, Zheng He read the comments on the canopy, and he was a little unwilling.

In his opinion, if Da Ming can really make a steam engine, then it can be applied to his fortune ship.

In that way, when he goes to the West, he can no longer follow the current.

It is also possible to sail freely without the sea breeze, relying on the power of its own steam engine.

But the comments on the canopy made him dispel this delusion.

After all, making a steam engine is not a simple matter, and with the current technology of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the steam engine manufactured will not be put into use.

However, Zheng He still took a chance and went to those craftsmen to understand the situation, and when he learned the real situation, he realized that he was afraid that the next time he went to the West, his craftsmen would not be able to make a steam engine.

This is not to say that his craftsmen are not technically prowess, but that they are trapped in a sealing material.

And this sealing material is the rubber mentioned on the canopy, if there is no sealing material sealing, the steam engine can not run for a long time.

Such a steam engine was of no use in the slightest, after all, at sea, especially in dangerous places, if the steam engine suddenly lost its power due to a failure of sealing, it would be a disaster for the whole ship.

For those craftsmen who lacked this material, Zheng He felt that he could help.

After all, I found a lot of strange things in the New World, and maybe among those strange things was the rubber that the craftsmen needed.

So he asked people to start identifying the strange things they found in the New World, and see what they did.

However, the surprise came so suddenly, and he really found the rubber thing mentioned in the canopy in the new world.

After knowing this result, Zheng He hurriedly handed this thing to the craftsmen and asked them to see if this material could seal the steam engine.

The craftsmen took the things given by Zheng He, and after a simple test, they were surprised by the performance of this kind of thing.

They had a feeling that this was what the canopy called rubber.

But they weren't sure, they hadn't seen anything of it.

However, since there was such speculation, they began to apply it to the steam engine, hoping to use the steam engine to test whether it was something or not.

Sure enough, it lived up to their expectations, the steam engine did not run out of gas before, and the steam engine could run for a long time.

This result made all the craftsmen happy, after all, they had been trapped for a long time in making steam engines, and now the problem was finally solved.

After calming down, they told Zheng He the good news, hoping that Zheng He would give them more of these items.

Zheng He, who was preparing the items he needed for his next trip to the West, stood up after receiving the news.

Originally, he didn't have hope for the steam engine, but he didn't expect that among the things he was looking for in the New World, there were key materials for making the steam engine.

With this steam engine, the ocean will also be a place that humans can conquer.

And this also made Zheng He realize the value of the New World again, and began to write to the imperial court, suggesting that the imperial court develop the New World.

And in order to persuade the imperial court to develop the New World, he also listed a faster route to the New World based on previous navigation charts.

Not only that, but he also gave orders to the craftsmen who built the ships to build a steamship that could sail without sails, based on the performance of the overall machine.

When the craftsmen got the news, they began to discuss.

After all, it's not just that they haven't seen such a ship, but I'm afraid that the ancestors who taught them haven't seen it either.

However, the advantages of steamships still made them realize that times are changing.

So they began to design various collection ships to meet Zheng He's requirements for ships.

Zhu Di saw the piece handed over by Zheng He, he looked at the content inside, and was very happy.

He didn't expect that this steam engine would be simply made in this way, originally he thought that the manufacture of this steam engine, even if he was alive, might not be able to make it successfully.

However, what I didn't expect was that with the return of Zheng He this time, the key materials needed for the steam engine were easily solved.

And not only that, Zheng He also wrote a new shipping lane, which could allow the imperial court to develop the New World faster.

Zhu Di attached great importance to Zheng He's recital, and he called the crown prince Zhu Gaochi to discuss these matters with him.

Eventually, he wrote his approval on the cantata, allowing Zheng He to lead more people to explore the New World.

After Zheng He received the order, he was very happy in his heart.

The more you have seen the vastness of the sea, the more you know how small you are.

He had truly seen the vastness of the sea, and how vast the uninhabited land of the New World was.

At that time, he was thinking that if his people in the Ming Dynasty planted food there, he was afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty would no longer suffer from hunger.

For this reason, he asked many soldiers to explore the new continent and explore the environment and landforms of the new continent.

And based on the results of the exploration of each soldier, he summed up a set of archives for exploring the New World.

However, now that his wish has begun to come true, he will lead more soldiers to explore the new continent and prepare for the Ming Dynasty's invasion of this new continent in the future.

Not only that, but in order to explore the New World more quickly, the imperial court even issued orders to the craftsmen who made the fortune ships, asking them to make steam ships that could walk freely in the sea according to the performance of the steam engine.

The craftsmen who were making the Fubune received an order, and they were full of curiosity about the steam engine they made.

Although the video on the canopy has built the function of a steam engine, they are still curious when it actually appears in their lives.

They watched for a long time before they dispersed, and then gathered again to discuss how to use the steam engine to make a fortune ship that could walk freely on the sea.

They overturned one plan after another, built one plan after another, and finally found a plan that could meet the requirements.

In the end, they dedicated the latest plan to Zheng He, hoping that he would be able to put forward his own opinions.

Late Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhen read the comments on the canopy, and he called Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing again, these two people are the pillars of his Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youzhen believes that they must have a solution.

However, what disappointed him was that Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing did not have a solution, for them, what they lacked was not only technology, but also sealing materials.

In particular, they had never heard of rubber as a sealing material, and without this material, how could they make a steam engine that could be used for a long time?

In order to solve this problem, they did many experiments, but the results were not very ideal.

It's just that this can change the machine of the Ming Dynasty, how can they give up?

So Xu Guangqi called his friends who were foreign missionaries and asked them for their opinions.

When the foreign missionaries saw the steam engine being made, they were amazed.

They didn't expect that there was such a machine in the world, which could run automatically by using steam.

It's just a pity for them that this kind of machine can't run for a long time due to the lack of sealing technology.

And they don't have any good advice on the materials used to seal such machines.

After all, they were just missionaries, and although they had a wealth of knowledge, they were not divorced from reality.

And since they came to the Ming Dynasty and saw the miraculous inventions of those people one after another, they have become more and more aware of their insignificance.

As for the canopy that the people usually discussed, although they didn't know what it was, they felt that it must be God's reward for the Ming Dynasty.

System 9527 looked at these foreign monks, and he pursed his lips a little angrily.

It's obviously his own credit, but how can he become the credit of God in the mouths of these foreign monks?

But it is only a system, and it cannot appear in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no way to argue with these foreign monks.

He could only sulk secretly, and don't watch the host it bind to continue watching the video.
