The Great Ming Reversal

Chapter 195: The prototype of the steam engine

Views:

The biggest pain of a hangover is that I will definitely have a splitting headache when I get up the next morning. This is not the most painful for Wei Ming. When he saw Zhu Huiyan who was sleeping on the same bed with himself, he knew what pain was. Zhu Huiyan? Isn't it Qin Yuxin's? I remember that someone wanted to separate herself from her yesterday, but she still hugged her tightly, afraid that others would take her baby. Is Zhu Youxiao a pig's brain? How can you let me live like this! Before Zhu Huiyan woke up, Wei Ming hurried out of bed, put on his clothes, and was ready to drive away. Just treat this as nothing happened, okay? Seeing that although Zhu Huiyan's clothes are a bit messy, at least she is still wearing clothes, right? Besides, what can an eleven or twelve-year-old girl do without her clothes? Thinking of this, my heart is finally calmer. As soon as he opened the door, Wei Ming collapsed. Zhu Youxiao didn't see him, but a dead eunuch was guarding at the door. This eunuch is still an old acquaintance, Wei Zhongxian.

"Old Wei, what are you doing at the door of my room if you have nothing to do?" Wei Ming said angrily. It's definitely not suitable to go out today. I met this old steward just after I left the house, so I don't want to have a good appetite all day long.

"Weihou, how did you rest last night?" Wei Zhongxian looked at Wei Ming with a smile. Dare to soak the princess in front of the emperor, that is, you Weihou can do it, right? But Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to explain it. It wouldn't be good if Wei Ming was offended. Wei Zhongxian can't figure it out, what's so good about a little girl? Can't you Weihou find a warm quilt? Or do you like little girls? The more you think about it, the more evil you get, the more funny the expression on your face, the black line on Wei Ming's head.

"Isn't I sleeping well to close your half dime?" Wei Ming said irritably, and wanted to drive off after speaking.

"Weihou’s words are not right. We should care about each other when we serve as ministers in the palace? Besides, the humble position still has official duties. I don’t know if the princess has awakened? The humble position has to take the princess back to the palace. Well." Wei Zhongxian's words made Wei Ming desperate. Zhu Youxiao sent Wei Zhongxian to tell himself that you can't rely on this matter, so let's take care of it. Zhu Youxiao, you are so cruel!

"Old Wei, it's okay if you didn't cut it clean yourself, why are you also concerned about other people's intercourse?" Wei Ming asked with slanted eyes. Suddenly I felt that Wei Zhongxian was even more annoying than the Donglin Party. At the very least, the Donglin Party doesn't round the house, doesn't it

"Weihou, this is what you said, don't blame me then." Wei Zhongxian said happily. The Donglin Party jumped into the pit by itself, and now Wei Hou, who has always been known for his intelligence, also digs into the hole and jumps into it. What is going on in this world? Why do you suddenly feel that the world suddenly becomes stupid? Could it be that your own good day is coming? The more I think about Wei Zhongxian, the more excited he becomes.

"Old Wei, your surname is Wei, and I am also surnamed Wei. Although it is not a Wei, we can be regarded as members of the Wei family anyway! Why bother with each other?" Wei Mingyu patted Wei Zhongxian's shoulder with heart. . For a moment, Wei Ming wanted to stretch out his hand to break Wei Zhongxian's neck. However, if you think about your own strength, let's forget it. I can't even twist the neck of a chicken, let alone a person.

"What Weihou said. Then I will take the princess away, okay?" Wei Zhongxian said.

"Let's talk about it later when the princess wakes up. I was drunk last night, and you wake her up now. It's a weird thing if you don't chop you." Wei Ming left these words and left. Yesterday Song Yingxing said that he had something to report to himself, so he should go and have a look. If the steam engine is really well studied, then the Ming Dynasty can lead the world for a hundred years. Although there are not many, but at least not backward, other people have used steam engine boats, and we also use good ones, which is a bit funny. If you can beat others, that's a weird thing.

Wei Zhongxian looked at the back of Wei Ming away, and then looked at the room with the door closed, his mind was a little bit overwhelming. What does the emperor mean? Want to betroth the princess to Wei Ming? Otherwise, why should such a thing happen? If so, Wei Ming now has a regular wife and a nominal concubine room. For the sake of this concubine, Wei Ming's riot to join the government when he was in Guangzhou has long been widely known. Why is this? Even if you go there, you won't necessarily be able to become a regular wife. Wei Ming's reputation for strict wife management is much greater than his other reputations.

When Wei Ming came to the front research institute of the Ministry of Industry, Song Yingxing and Song Yingsheng and a group of students were busy sawing wood and measuring railroad tracks from a distance. Someone is tinkering with that boiler. The water in the boiler has been burning hot, and the hot air coming out of the pipe can be seen from a long distance.

"Old Song!" Wei Ming greeted, and Song Yingxing put aside his work, let Song Yingsheng continue to work with the students, and he was going to report to Wei Ming.

"Walk, let's go to my study and say." Wei Ming went out first, and Song Yingxing followed closely. After arriving in the study, Wei Ming greeted Dongfang Xiaomo and Lu Xiangsheng and asked them to take those What kind of guardian is the study room? If someone wants to get close to the study, they should give a warning first. If you insist on doing your own way, there is no mercy. Dongfang Xiaomo and Lu Xiangsheng knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded seriously and promised to complete the task. This made Wei Ming relieved and entered with Song Yingxing.

Inside the study.

"Weihou, isn't it like this? We are all learning. The more people know the better, why bother to cherish such a broom? In that case, when will learning be able to promote it? From ancient times to the present, I don’t know it has been. How many faculties were buried by the loess because of this relationship, and disappeared." Song Yingxing was very opposed to Wei Ming's approach. To learn, you need to look like learning. It's like espionage. It's really not something a learned person should do. Song Yingxing also wanted to write all his knowledge into a book, and advertised it, but now it seems that it is out of the question.

"Learning is going to be passed on, but we also need to see who it is passed on. I think that the country of Japan was just a desert island. But what do you look at now? What have they developed into? Just after the civil war, just Dare to provoke us to Da Ming. Although we won in the end, we can also see that we no longer have sufficient deterrence. Why can the Japanese country develop? It is not the envoy of the Tang Dynasty! They have learned advanced things from us, and they are in China. Boldly reform, and then in turn use what we taught them to beat us, you said, such a person, can you teach them good things? The way you look like you will know that you are dissatisfied. Forget it, I didn't intend to convince you. Anyway, you just need to do your knowledge well. I will do the things that are not in the way. Okay, let's talk about the steam engine. What's up now? How about it?" Wei Ming originally wanted to tell Song Yingxing about the way inside. But looking at Song Yingxing's disdain, he gave up this plan. Scholars are very self-esteem. It's not sound, but the stones in the pit are smelly and hard. It's useless to tell them this. Even if he hit his head on the south wall and shed blood, he wouldn't know what regret is. It is better to talk about academic matters. With such a person, they can only talk about academic matters.

When it comes to the steam engine, Song Yingxing’s eyes brighten, putting everything aside, and saying, “Weihou, our steam engine has made great progress. The steam engine has been able to provide a certain amount of power for a railway car to walk on the rails. It’s just that we don’t have enough steel to support enough pressure, which has also become a major difficulty restricting the development of our steam engines. However, it is possible to use steam engines to suck the water in the well. Now in the Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Technology. All the water is taken in this way. It is very convenient and very labor-saving." Song Yingxing said. This is indeed a considerable improvement. As Wei Ming said before, you are not afraid of walking slowly, you are afraid of not taking one step. As long as the head of the car moves a step on the track, there will naturally be a second step. Don't be afraid of walking slowly, there will always be a way to make him go faster. As long as the first step is taken, the following things will be logical.

"Do you have such an experiment now?" Wei Ming said with a gleam in his eyes. Witnessing this historic moment, Wei Ming was very interested in it. Think about it thousands of years later, when people are reading the historical scrolls, on the page that entered the steam age, they have their own name, what a great honor it is!

"Yes, if Weihou wants to see it, we can do it tomorrow!" Song Yingxing said excitedly. He was afraid that his research was not good and would not attract Wei Ming's attention. Now it seems that I have been thinking too much. Wei Ming is very interested in this, that's it. As long as Wei Ming is interested, he will never be short of money. Then the research can proceed. This is what Song Yingxing most hopes to see. More than rewarding him how much money, no matter how big the official is to be happy.

"Is your thing dangerous? Has there been an explosion?" Wei Ming said worriedly. He knew that this steam engine could easily explode if it is not properly repaired. If it explodes, it won't be fun. He is also going to show off.

"It happened several times. However, it has been improved after the safety valve was added. However, for safety, we can stay farther away at that time." Finally, Song Yingxing added: "Since safety has been added. After the valve, there has not been an explosion."

"Okay, very well, let's forget it tomorrow. Let's set a date, um, let's do it. In ten days, we invite all ministers of civil and military affairs from all dynasties to observe the ceremony, and let them see. Our Institute of Industry is not just eating royal food. Don't work!"

"Yes!" Song Yingxing felt that his eyes were full of stars.
