Chapter 67: Handsome Like Me

Li Wei didn't know that someone in the court had sued him again, and he knew that he wouldn't care, and he was now fully committed to his work.

The sketch of the blast furnace has long been drawn, and the waterwheel has to be transformed, used first, and when the steel production comes up, the steam engine will be built, although the processing accuracy is relatively poor now, but he thinks that it can also be used, but the gas leakage is more efficient, and it is slowly improved.

The purpose of doing this is to raise the electricity, with electricity, there are all kinds of machine tools, in order to make all kinds of mechanical products.

The water wheel can also be used for the generator for the time being, but the water wheel cannot be moved, it can only be built at the water's edge, which is very inconvenient, it is much better to have a steam engine, and you can find an open space anywhere to place it.

Of course, for Li Wei, the industrial revolution is secondary, and improving his life is the main thing, but no matter what, electricity is a must.

To make steel and burn glass, the temperature of ordinary coal cannot be reached, and coke must be used as fuel, and charcoal is coke for high-temperature firing in isolation from air.

There is also a by-product in this process: coke oven gas, coal and water can also be fired at high temperature to make water gas, and you can find a way to collect these gases in the future and make them into gas tanks, Xiaoqing They don't have to make such troublesome fires when cooking in the future.

But now that there is honeycomb coal, it can also be used first, and the gas is not in a hurry.

There's so much to do, take it one step at a time.

From morning to afternoon, Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't gotten off work yet, and a little princess came first.

Hearing the sound of the guards at the door saluting, Li Wei hurriedly put away the computer.

"Huh? Li Wei, are you here to play with me? ”

When the little princess came in and saw Li Wei, she immediately shouted happily.

Li Wei was stunned, he didn't know what to say, say no, this little princess must be unhappy.

"Sort of."

"Great, you haven't finished the story last time, let's move on."

"Uh, well, where was it last time?"

The last time he told a story was the last time, and he forgot where to tell it.

"When it comes to the twenty-first difficulty, there are still sixty difficulties." The little princess said expectantly.

Li Wei's face stiffened, okay, there are still sixty difficulties, but I have only watched twenty-five episodes!

It's all because he was quick to talk about it at the beginning, and he said that it was ninety-nine eighty-one difficult, if he said that twenty-one was difficult at the time, then wouldn't it be finished now.

Li Wei regretted it, but he couldn't help it, but the little princess remembered it clearly.

"So let's talk about it today...... Well, let's talk about three dozen white bone spirits. Li Wei thought for a while.

"I've already told you." The little princess raised her head and said with a serious face.

"That's about the big war Red Boy."

"I've talked about this too."

“……”

Li Wei scratched his head, when he talked to the little princess, he always picked and talked about it, and when he remembered which one to talk about, he himself didn't remember which ones he had said and which ones he hadn't.

Besides, there are only twenty-five episodes in total, and twenty-one episodes have already been told, so there are really not many things that haven't been told.

"Daughter Country?" Li Wei said tentatively.

The little princess's eyes lit up: "I haven't talked about this, let's talk about this, this name is very interesting when you hear it!" ”

"Uh......"

Li Wei was a little hesitant, this is a bit inappropriate, she is pregnant, and she loves her brother.

"Speak quickly, speak quickly." The little princess's crisp voice urged.

Li Wei was helpless, so he avoided the important and talked lightly, and the little princess kept asking questions while listening.

"Why are their bellies bigger?"

"I'm pregnant."

"I know I know, I'm about to give birth to a baby, I saw that other aunts had big bellies, it turned out that they drank the water of the Zimu River?"

"Uh, no, these are made up and fake!"

"And how big are their bellies?"

"That's when your father planted a seed in their belly."

"How did you grow it?" The little princess said curiously with wide eyes.

“……”

Li Wei suddenly remembered the picture of Lao Zhu holding a knife on his neck, and suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

"You'll find out when you're older."

The corners of Li Wei's mouth twitched, and he threw out this perfunctory sentence.

Seeing that Li Wei refused to speak, the little princess suddenly frowned in displeasure.

In fact, when she leaves the cabinet in another year, someone will tell her about these things, but she doesn't know it yet.

Li Wei ignored her gaze and continued:

"The king of the daughter country saw that Tang Seng was handsome, so he wanted to marry him, but unfortunately Luohua was ruthless, and Tang Seng ......"

"How handsome?" The little princess interrupted.

"Handsome like me."

"Cut, my father is more handsome than you!"

"That's a bad old ...... Well, you're right! ”

Thinking that the little princess might make a small report with Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Wei reluctantly endured it and continued to talk.

finally came to the end, Zhu Yuanzhang finally came back, and when he saw the little princess and Li Wei together, he immediately reprimanded with a calm face: "Why did you run out again, hurry back to the harem!" ”

"I'm here to bring tea to my father!"

"And what about our refreshments?"

The little princess immediately looked left and right, and found that Xiaohong and the refreshments were not there.

Well, today she just ran out to play on her own.

"Hmph, don't you give it back to us soon, you know how to play all day long, there are no rules at all, what kind of system!"

was reprimanded by her father, and the little princess pouted and left the Qianqing Palace with a procrastinating step.

"And you, you know to be lazy all day long!"

Li Wei was suddenly unhappy: "I don't have it!" I've been busy these two days, haven't you seen it! ”

"Busy beating people?"

"Well, you know everything, but Your Majesty, that dog thing really should be beaten, and he doesn't even understand the basic respect for the old and loves the young, so he actually beats the old man!"

Zhu Yuanzhang heard Li Wei call someone else's dog things, and looked at him with a strange look.

Zhu Yuanzhang already knew about this, after all, Li Wei was surrounded by human flesh cameras arranged by him, and he wanted to know that as long as he checked the monitoring records, it would be clear.

"Hmph, let's not talk about the beating for the time being, what have you been doing in the Ministry of Industry for the past two days, report to us!"

"Ahem, Your Majesty, in the past two days, I have learned the basic situation of the Ordnance Bureau, I plan to make steel first, and when the steel is mass-produced, I will build a machine tool, and many things can be gradually realized with a machine tool, and there is also a steam engine, you know? It's a machine that can turn itself by boiling water......"

Li Wei chattered a lot, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't understand a lot of it, but on the surface, he still nodded again and again, looking like I understood everything if you said it well.

Although he didn't understand, it didn't matter, he just had to ask for it.

"Well, that's right, in this way, let's arrange a task for you, within three months, we will make 100,000 steel knives, 3,000 flintlock pistols, and armor bows and arrows......"

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth as if he was following up with the goods, but in fact, he was a lion with a big mouth, and Li Wei would be satisfied as long as he could finish half of it.

At present, the steel knives of the Ordnance Bureau are basically forged by craftsmen, and the output of one or two knives per person a day is only one or two.

Although there are 9,000 people in the Ordnance Bureau, there are only a few hundred blacksmiths who can forge swords, and the output is only hundreds of them a day.

However, when he finished speaking, Li Wei did not immediately roll around and said that he couldn't do it, but thought about it seriously, and Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him in surprise.

"I'll try my best."

Li Wei thought for a moment and said cautiously.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his attitude immediately changed: "It's not as much as possible, it's necessary!" If you can't do it, let's cut it...... Let's smash your ass! ”

Li Wei: "......"
