There is absolutely no doubt that the role of the steam engine in promoting the development of human society is unquestionable. This is the most critical sign that large-scale machine production has replaced handicraft labor. Perhaps Fu Bo, Zhang Hongsheng, Li Tai and others in the workshop are not aware of the steam engine. It is of great value, but as a modern person, Li Zexuan understands that this thing is enough to change this era!
His previous inventions such as the "Datang Daily", the Immortal Cart, the Crooked Plow, and the Waterwheel may have caused the wheel of history to deviate slightly from its original trajectory, but the emergence of the steam engine is very likely to completely change the history of the future. Quite different from what is described in history books!
"Shan Zhang, you are finally here!"
Hearing Li Zexuan's voice, Li Tai, who was in great excitement, turned around and saw Li Zexuan standing at the door of the yard, looking at him with a smile on his face. While he was excited, Li Tai complained a little. .
After the first steam engine was built today, he originally planned to invite Li Zexuan to come and test it himself, but Li Zexuan could not be found in Lantian County or Yunshan. Seeing that it was getting late, he could only bring his people with him. Start experimenting!
You must know that when Li Zexuan explained to him the principle of the steam engine, he told him that if the design of the steam engine was unreasonable, the cavity would easily explode during use. The little fat man cherished his life, so he wanted Li Zexuan to come over and take charge, but After waiting for a long time, Li Zexuan didn't come over, so he had no choice but to take the risk himself!
Fortunately, no major problems occurred in the end!
"I have something to do in Chang'an City today. If I had known Qingque that you were going to test the steam engine today, I wouldn't have stayed in Chang'an City for so long!"
Li Zexuan walked up to Li Tai, patted the latter's shoulder with a smile, explained briefly, and then said: "Haha! Qingque, you did a good job. This steam engine runs stably and can drive the generator at a constant speed, which proves your success." Yes! Congratulations, you have completed a great invention. Thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty will remember you, and your name will definitely be on the history books!"
Making a steam engine for the first time was a great success. Li Tai also felt that he was great, but after hearing Li Zexuan's compliment, he felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said:
"Shan Chief, Tai built a steam engine, how could it be remembered by millions of people in the Tang Dynasty? And it was also recorded in the history books? What you said is too exaggerated~?"
Although the others did not speak, they did have expressions of deep understanding on their faces. Obviously, like Li Tai, they were unaware of the huge changes that steam engines could bring to this era!
"Haha! It's not an exaggeration! It's not an exaggeration at all! In almost another year, you will understand that what I said today is not an exaggeration at all!"
Li Zexuan smiled mysteriously, and then he turned his attention to the steam engine and the transmission mechanism outside the steam engine. Although this thing could run normally now, it did not mean that there were no hidden problems inside it. He had to check it carefully.
Seeing Li Zexuan's solemn words, everyone subconsciously believed his prediction, but Li Tai shook his head and said: "Chief Shank, even if the steam engine is really so important, you should be the one recorded in the history books instead of Li Tai! All the drawings of this steam engine came from the chief of the mountain. Tai just looked at the drawings and drew the gourd! The credit for inventing the steam engine is definitely not mine!"
While inspecting the steam engine, Li Zexuan said with a faint smile: "It also requires skills to paint a gourd and a scoop. Some people paint tigers instead of dogs. Compared with them, Qingque, you are much better! And you can do it in such a short time. It is not easy to build a steam engine inside the house! The success of making the steam engine belongs to all of you! As for me, it would be better not to have this false reputation!"
While talking, Li Zexuan had already checked all the details of the steam engine and transmission mechanism. He nodded again with great satisfaction and said: "Well! There should be no problem! Just follow this prototype and produce a few more. Come out! Then Qingque, you can leave for Bingzhou and Yunzhou!"
Having said this, Li Zexuan turned around, looked at Uncle Fu, Zhang Hongsheng and others, and said with a serious expression: "Uncle Fu, Qingque's trip to Bingzhou and Yunzhou to build telegraph relay stations is of great importance, and everyone in the workshop must give their full assistance Qingque, whatever he needs, the workshop will make it for him as soon as possible, this matter is extremely urgent!"
Uncle Fu has never seen Li Zexuan say something so solemnly. Hearing this, he couldn't help but become serious. He cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, young master. Everyone in the workshop will work together to assist King Wei!"
Li Zexuan nodded, looked at Li Tai again and said:
"Qingque, when you go north this time, while ensuring that the telegraph relay station is built as soon as possible, you must also pay attention to safety! Bingzhou is fine, but Yunzhou is located on the northern border of the Tang Dynasty. I am afraid something will happen, so before you leave You need to request your Majesty to dispatch an army to escort you. In addition, Cheng Chumo and the others should have almost finished their final exams. By then, let Cheng Chumo and Tiedan go north with you. The division will go to the military camp early tomorrow morning to take up their duties, so I can't accompany you. Going north! Take care of yourself!"
In the past, Li Zexuan would not have been so verbose, but judging from what he learned in Chang'an today, the secret war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks had already begun, and the intention of the two countries to start a war was obvious. It's just that neither of the two countries are fully prepared now. In this case, if the Turks knew that King Wei of the Tang Dynasty was going to the northern border, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't make any crooked plans!
Li Tai cupped his hands and said, "Yes! Chief! Take care of yourself too!"
"Gugu~!"
After saying that, Li Tai's stomach made a strange noise, and Li Zexuan couldn't help but said: "You haven't eaten yet, right? Go eat quickly, don't be hungry! Xiaosi, go and ask the workshop canteen to prepare it quickly Some delicious food, everyone has worked hard these days to build the steam engine!"
"Yes! Master!"
Song Xiaosi responded and quickly went to deliver the order!
Zhang Hongsheng clasped his fists at Li Zexuan and said: "Master Hou! The five thousand sets of vanadium steel horse armor, vanadium steel plate armor and vanadium steel horse armor you requested have all been made and stored in the warehouse of the workshop. Zhang We have checked them one by one before, do you want to go take a look now?"
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "Since you have checked everything, I won't go to see it! I can rest assured that you can do the work! I will just bring someone to pick up the armor early tomorrow morning!"
He still has to print military books. As for weapons and armor, he has actually read part of them a few days ago. Since Zhang Hongsheng said there is no problem, then there must be no problem!
"Okay! Then Zhang will wait for the Marquis to come to pick up the armor tomorrow!"
