When Li Ke arrived at the industrial zone, he saw the behemoth when he entered the factory, obviously this is the steam engine made by Lu Daqiang.

Especially when I saw the built-in furnace under the steam engine, it looked the same as I thought.

The only difference is that the shape is not rectangular or other shapes, but it doesn't matter, when you do different jobs, you can adjust the shape, it doesn't matter, what matters is how the whole principle is made.

"This is the steam engine you made?" Li Ke looked at this and asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, we have tested it, and it is completely operational." Lu Daqiang immediately nodded and said.

"How's the power? How much horsepower is efficiency equivalent to? Can the volume still be reduced? It's reciprocating, isn't it? Do you have pressure relief valves, etc.? Li Ke asked directly, and after asking, Li Ke knocked on his forehead, forgetting that many things had not been explained to them, of course they didn't know how to calculate.

Compared with Li Ke, Lu Daqiang and they were directly stunned, they all thought that they had developed an unprecedented machine, but when His Highness asked these questions, Lu Daqiang and they understood that His Highness knew the steam engine.

It is even possible that not only does he know, but even His Highness still has drawings.

"Your Highness, do you know this?" Lu Daqiang asked cautiously.

Seeing his expression, Li Ke knew what he was thinking, Li Ke smiled, he stretched out his hand and patted Lu Daqiang's shoulder, and then looked at Liu Chang and the others next to him and said with emotion: "I know what you guys are thinking." ”

"I do know about the steam engine, and even I have a more advanced steam engine here, and I don't know what the specific result is, but I still rushed over as fast as I could, and I was still very happy and excited. Do you know why? ”

"I don't know." Lu Daqiang and the others all shook their heads and said.

"Because I've been teaching you all the time, I've been teaching you lessons, I've been teaching you some theories, and now I'm finally seeing the results!"

"I don't care about the final product, I have a lot of the finished product, and I can even think of a lot of more advanced products, but it doesn't work. You are all masters, you know better than me, you teach an apprentice, not to see that the apprentice can copy a few advanced tools. ”

"It's to see that this apprentice has taught him some of the most basic processes, and he can use these processes and principles to make his own things, this process is the most important!"

"This means that you have eaten these things thoroughly, it means that you understand these things, you know the principle, you can make countless ones, and according to the cat and the tiger, according to the book, according to the map, you can only make this one thing, this is the thing I am most happy about!"

"And you can research this thing, it's not a simple matter of learning and applying, it's innovation, which means that my education has achieved results, this means that the whole system has achieved results, and it means that we can have countless craftsmen like you in the future."

Li Ke said seriously, all the craftsmen around him listened carefully, and after Li Ke finished speaking, everyone became excited.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Everyone said in unison, each of them was very excited, and being recognized by His Highness was what they were most looking forward to.

"No, I want to thank you, it is you who let me see that the path I chose is not wrong, and the efforts I have made for you before are not wrong, allowing me to see a more brilliant and powerful future for Datang." Li Ke also said happily.

"Now show me what you did." Li Ke said seriously.

"Yes!" Lu Daqiang and others all began to take action.

When the entire steam engine started to run again, Li Ke was amazed, although he had seen more advanced things, but this thing in front of him was really Li Ke did not give any drawings, did not give any hints, this is made by themselves!

That's the most important thing! The point is that after this thing is made, its degree of completion is very high, Li Ke can see that it should be reciprocating, and the speed of the flywheel is very fast, and the whole cast iron body means that it can withstand high pressure.

And these pressures also mean that it can drive heavier machines.

There are so many places where a steam engine can be used.

It can be said that the emergence of the steam engine means the improvement of the entire industrial system, which means that the power source of the entire industrial system has been greatly improved, such as his simple machine tools, such as looms, jacquard machines and other machines all have power sources to use.

Crucially, large steam engines for both ships and railways can be put on the agenda.

From zero to one is the most difficult, after taking this step, Li Ke can directly give the drawings later, and they have eaten these things thoroughly means that they really have this knowledge in their minds.

While demonstrating, Lu Daqiang and the others also told Li Ke about their R&D ideas and some things they had done.

Hearing that they were trying to make a steam cannon, Li Ke almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Have you ever thought about a question?" Li Ke asked about the cannon.

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Where did you come to make this steam cannon?" Li Ke asked.

"It's the fireworks you researched, Your Highness." Lu Daqiang and the others said honestly.

"Then have you ever thought about magnifying the fireworks, making the tubes of the fireworks into copper pipes, and using more gunpowder in the back, and the power of the gunpowder explosion is faster than steam?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Lu Daqiang and Liu Changren were stupid, they suddenly reacted, they were stupid, they got inspiration from there before, and they only thought about verifying it, but they forgot to improve the fireworks themselves.

"This ...... Your Highness, we are stupid. Both were a little embarrassed, "Wasted R&D funds." ”

"No, no, no, don't throw away this innovative idea, whether it works or not, you must stick to it, because I don't know where this thing will work." Li Ke is very serious.

It looks like the steam cannon seems stupid...... But have you ever thought that the steam catapult thing is actually similar to the principle of this steam cannon?

"Yes." Lu Daqiang and Liu Chang were moved, His Royal Highness was really good to them.

"In this way, since you have developed the steam engine, I can hand over some of my drawings here to you, and you can first improve the steam engine, which can be applied to various machines in the industrial area, such as drilling, cutting, grinding and other simple machine tools."

"And how to control the power of the steam engine, etc., I will give you a set of drawings, this is for you to think about." Li Ke said with a smile.

"Yes!" Two people bent over together!
