"Hop...... Cooperate? ”

Reddick looked dazed, "Persimmon Palace shrimp means ......"

"That's right!" Wen Chen took over the conversation, looked like he sighed with some regret, "Although this king has made a steam engine, this thing is still in the experimental stage, and many technologies are still in the theoretical experiment stage, if you rashly apply it to practice, I am afraid that there may be dangerous accidents." ”

Is this still dangerous?

Reddick's face tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What danger will it be?" ”

"It's going to explode!" Wen Chen spread his hands helplessly.

"Therefore, this king wants to make such a request, your country will bear most of the cost of the test, and this king will take the staff to debug the equipment day and night, and wait for the steam engine to be completely perfected, so that we can share this great scientific and technological invention!"

"Wouldn't it be dangerous for His Highness Persimmon to conduct experiments himself?" Reddick said with some concern.

Cut!

Wen Chen snorted secretly, Lao Tzu is a Ph.D. student in science and engineering, and it can be dangerous to break a steam engine, and the books in his previous life are in vain!

But on the surface, it is righteous and awe-inspiring, "It is incumbent upon my generation to dedicate oneself to science and benefit future generations!" ”

"As the king's most honored guest, if you bring back the imperfect steam engine, once there is an accident, how much pain will the king's heart have?!"

"So, all the risks are borne by this king, and this king's dearest friend, Mr. Reddick, you just need to take out that inconsequential stinky money and support this king behind your back!"

An impassioned speech that brought tears to Reddick's eyes!

How can there be such a sincere person in the world?!

I still wanted to use inferior rubber pit His Royal Highness, but now that I think about it, I'm really not a thing!

"Persimmon temple shrimp! I'm ashamed......"

Wen Chen raised his hand and hammered his chest, and said with a sincere look in his eyes, "No need to say more, good brother, in my heart!" ”

The excitement and gratitude in Reddick's heart at this moment could not be described in words, and he held Wen Chen's hand tightly, "Persimmon Hall Shrimp, Wo knows, knowledge is priceless!" But this time, we only ...... I only brought less than three million taels of silver, can you be accommodating, wait for the nest to come over next time, and then make up the final payment? ”

Pei Zhi next to him heard this, and his eyes suddenly lit up, damn it, isn't it enough for His Highness to repair the railway? !

Mommy's! I knew that this pile of iron lumps was so valuable, so I would have found someone to build hundreds more!

So he hurriedly squeezed his eyebrows at Wen Chen, "Your Highness, hurry up and ......."

Signal His Royal Highness the Sea King to hurry up and agree, don't let these fat sheep on top of the gang regret it!

I didn't want Wen Chen's face to be cold, and he glared at Pei Zhi and said, "Master Pei, what do you mean by this?" ”

"The king knows that you spent more than fifteen million taels of silver to build these machines, but Mr. Reddick is a dear friend and brother of the king! Can this king still be strong, so unreasonable, and forcibly ask for it? ”

As he spoke, he patted Redick on the shoulder, "Don't worry, although the silver is a little less, our friendship is still there, three million is three million, and there is no need to make up for it next time, this Lord Pei is under the pressure of this king, even if he is not angry, he will not dare to take you seriously!" ”

Fuck it! Lao Tzu still underestimates you!

Zheng He only spent six million taels of silver when he went to the West to set up a fleet, and you carried three million taels of silver worth of property with you? Who are you accusing?

Pei Zhi was stunned, this pile of iron lumps cost less than 20,000 taels of silver, how could there be more than 10 million taels?

Besides, Lao Tzu asked you to agree to the conditions they proposed, how did you become an insatiable villain?!

Reddick naturally couldn't understand Wen Chen's flowery intestines, thinking that he had met a confidant in his life, and tears of excitement kept rolling in his eyes!

Everyone is so open, they want to cooperate with themselves, and if they don't come out with some sincerity, will they still call people?

"Persimmon Palace shrimp, all the costs of making a steam engine before Master Pei are borne by Wo Bo, this is what Wo Bo should do!"

"But ......"

"Sister, but it's good!" Redick said seriously, "Persimmon Palace Shrimp, you are the best friend of Ingda!" On behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, I would like to express my most sincere greetings and thanks to you! ”

Wen Chen's previous miraculous technique of improving rubber made Reddick involuntarily have blind trust in him, and he felt that since His Royal Highness could design a steam engine in such an ingenious way, there must be a way to improve it!

Fifteen million taels of silver is not a small amount for Ingda, but Reddick, who is well-informed and has a heart of exploration, can have a hunch that the steam engine will be an invention that can change the world!

If someone else takes the lead, then the future steam engine will not be able to be bought back for fifteen million taels of silver!

Wen Chen nodded in embarrassment, "Since Mr. Reddick is gracious, then the king has no choice but to accept this heart!" ”

"Within two years, this king will definitely give you an explanation!"

Then he deliberately glared at Pei Zhi, who was smirking beside him, "Look at what this king's good brother has become?" I'll settle accounts with you later! ”

Pei Zhi nodded again and again, you will kill Lao Tzu in a while, and Lao Tzu is also willing!

That's fifteen million taels of silver, and you can't spend it in a lifetime, you can't spend it at all!

In order to give Reddick another reassurance, Wen Chen directly stayed with them for a few more days, and after hurriedly processing raw rubber into usable steam engine parts, the first test officially began outside the city!

As the cylinder began to work, the robotic arm linked by the crawler also swung rapidly, making a roaring noise, at this moment, Reddick and the others were all happy to see the dawn, and they were even more sure that the steam engine was the greatest invention that brought human progress!

But in the flaw deliberately left by Wen Chen, the steam engine only ran for less than a stick of incense before it made a loud noise and exploded into a pile of broken copper and iron, which also verified Wen Chen's previous conclusions, but also made Reddick firm in his confidence in investing!

To Wen Chen's surprise, not all of the belongings carried by Reddick's fleet were gold and silver treasures, a large part of them were diamonds mined from overseas, whether in terms of quality or size, in the previous life, many of them were priceless treasures!

However, now the people of Dasheng do not approve of this thing, and if they want to start construction of the railway as soon as possible, they have to exchange them all for real money that can be circulated!

Another good news is that Reddick and the others reached an agreement with Wen Chen before leaving, they will take out twelve cargo ships and divide them into three groups, and four cargo ships will arrive at the port of Fucheng every two months to provide Wen Chen with newly produced rubber.

And this also means that in addition to the production of glaze, which is a money-making accident, Hekou City has launched another new business that can make money every day!

In the production workshop that had just been built, Wen Chen watched the steam engine drive the steel plates, printing patterns on the glass plates that had not yet been completely solidified, and showed a satisfied smile.

Although with the current technology, the steam engine can not completely replace manual production, and some work still needs to be completed by human control, but compared with before, the production efficiency of glass has been increased by more than five times, and more benefits lie in the liberation of human resources, which is undoubtedly a very good news for Estuary City, which is already in the rapid development stage and shortage of manpower!

"! Get in! ”

There was an angry shout from behind him, Wen Chen turned around, only to see Pei Zhi dragging a thin man in.

"Your Highness, this is already the eighth spy from Nanqi caught in the city this month, this kid has a hard mouth, and he still doesn't admit it when he is caught!"

Wen Chen glanced at the man lightly, his eyebrows were skewed, and his gaze kept shooting at the running steam engine.

"Open the furnace and throw it in."

Pei Zhi laughed cruelly, "Okay! ”

The man's face changed, and he said hurriedly, "Why did you kill me?" You haven't judged me yet! ”

"No, you don't have any news that this king wants to know." Wen Chen nodded his chin and motioned for Pei Zhi to hurry up.

"Don't!"

"You haven't asked yet, how do you know I didn't?"

Maybe he felt the heat of the burning glass kiln, and the man was so anxious that tears were about to come out.

"Stop! Stop! ”

"I have important military information to inform His Royal Highness the Sea King!"
