Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 652 Final Chapter ([-])

Lu Bu immediately understood after hearing this. To put it bluntly, isn't this a problem of sealing?
The seal can be solved with rubber, and Lu Bu has a rough understanding of the principle, but the question is, where can Lu Bu find rubber now?

to South America?Everyone knows this, the key is how to get there?
As far as Zheng He's treasure ship is built, it is not a big problem to go to South America. If you go on the five-tooth warship, the journey will be a bit dangerous.

Columbus definitely couldn't discover the New World before the Ming Dynasty. It is only 200 AD, and it will take more than 1200 years for Columbus to be born.

By the time Columbus was born, the day lilies were completely cold.

Zheng He's treasure ship is already under construction. Although there is no blueprint, Lu Bu has Zheng He!

With real people here, what design do you need?

But if Zheng He's treasure ship can't be built right now, then rubber can't be found, so the problem of sealing has to be solved in a separate way.

After much deliberation, Lu Bu finally thought of something to temporarily replace the rubber——fish maw!
The effect of this thing plugging the spout of the pot should not be much worse than that of rubber.

"My dear friends, you can try to block the mouth of the pot with fish maw," Lu Bu said.

"Oh! Why didn't I think of this thing? Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xu Guangqi slapped his thigh fiercely.

……

Half a year passed by in a hurry, and on this day, the disheartened Xu Guangqi came to see Lu Bu.

Xu Guangqi's face was full of tiredness, but it was hard to hide the excitement in his eyes.

After receiving the biography, Xu Guangqi saluted and said, "I bow to Your Majesty!"

Lv Bu said with a smile: "Mianli is flat. Aiqing came here in a hurry. It must be that there has been a new development in that thing?"

Xu Guangqi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch. Thanks to His Majesty's blessing, I have successfully developed its prototype."

"Is this really true? Take me to have a look!" Lu Bu stood up sharply.

"Show me the Equipment Institute of the Ministry of Science and Technology!" Zheng He said with a flick of his whisk.

When they arrived at the equipment store, Xu Guangqi took Lu Bu to a tightly guarded room.

The room was surrounded by soldiers, and there were many Jin Yiwei brothers in it.

"See Your Majesty!" After seeing Lu Bu, the soldiers saluted in unison.

"You don't need to be too polite. I'll take care of this place, and don't make any mistakes." Lu Bu said earnestly.

"Follow Your Majesty's orders!" The soldiers said in unison.

Coming into the room, Lu Bu's eyes were directly attracted by the big guy in the center of the room.

Looking at the stupid, black and thick machine, Lu Bu couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

Although this steam engine is not good in appearance, in Lu Bu's eyes, it is more moving than a peerless naked beauty.

If Lu Bu didn't know anything about this machine, he would definitely think that it was a product of a certain country in later generations.

This rough and heavy steel style is the most typical and representative style of that country.

However, no matter how unsightly this machine is, it is Lu Bu's treasure and hope.

As long as you thoroughly research this thing, you will be able to do more tricks in the future.

Leaving aside the manufacture of guns, the train alone is enough to make Ming Dynasty lead the world for hundreds of years.

Regardless of how slow the fire head is and how waste fuel it is, this thing is a train after all.

Not to mention exhaustion, and there is no need to feed grass, is it too much fuel for people to consume?Not at all too much!
Just imagine, assuming that a rebellion suddenly broke out in a certain place in Ming Dynasty, the soldiers took the train and killed it directly. On the train, the soldiers could still have a good sleep, recharge their energy, and go to the place to fight directly.

At that time, what is the use of two or three rides for one person?Wouldn't it be nice to go there by train?

Not only that, but if the railway tracks are popularized, the transportation of materials across the country will be much more convenient.

Imagine that in wartime, countless supplies are transported to all parts of the country through the Thomas train without sleep. What kind of concept is this?
It saves people eating horse chews, and saves heavy soldiers. It is enough to prepare more fuel and a few more train drivers.

Although this machine is not yet a real steam engine, Lu Bu is not worried about it. There are already chickens, so are you worried that there will be no eggs?

Later, after asking Lu Bu for instructions, Xu Guangqi started the machine carefully.

After a while, the flame in the furnace ignited, the water boiled and turned into steam, and the steam drove a bearing on the surface to move back and forth, and so on.

Although the prototype of the steam engine has been developed, the current situation is still not optimistic.

After all, the current iron smelting technology and technology are not enough to support the improvement and further development of the steam engine, and there is still a long way to go before the steam engine improved by Watt.

Even on the day of Lu Bu's death, Daming's steam engine manufacturing process may not be able to reach the level after Watt's improvement.

But this does not affect the joy in Lu Bu's heart. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Right now, the prototype of the steam engine is already in place, so just study it slowly.

Over 1000 years ahead, this is the biggest advantage of the Daming steam engine.

Seeing the joyful look on Lu Bu's face, Xu Guangqi and the others were immediately relieved of their exhaustion.

"Rewards! Great rewards! Anyone who participates in the development of this thing will be rewarded!" Lu Bu said happily.

"My Majesty, this thing was able to come out, thanks to your majesty's wisdom and foresight, I ask your Majesty to give this thing a name!" Liu Ye cupped his hands.

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard that, the younger brother will come, and he gave me this opportunity to leave his name forever.

"This thing is called a steam engine." After thinking for a while, Lu Bu said.

……

In June 201, the first imperial examination officially began.

Candidates who took the exam were very apprehensive, because the knowledge they had learned in the past year was quite different from what they had learned in the previous ten or even twenty years.

In this short period of one year, some candidates have learned a lot of new knowledge, while others have not made any progress, taking the exam just to try their luck.

The situation of the examination is similar to that of the draft in later generations. Candidates have to go through the audition in the place where their household registration is located, and those who pass the audition can go to the government office in the state where their household registration is located to take the second round of examinations.

Only by passing the second round of exams can one be considered eligible to enter Beijing for the exam.

Candidates who came to the capital had to go through the third round of examinations, and only the top [-] candidates in the overall ranking could qualify for the palace examination.

At this point, the candidates can basically rest assured, because they are the best candidates who have gone through various selections. As long as they don't perform too far in the palace examination, it is definitely not a problem to be an official master.

Whether they can become officials is not determined by the results of the palace examination. The results of the palace examination will only affect the size of their official position.

On the day of the imperial examination, Lu Bu flipped through the roster to see if there were any acquaintances among the candidates in this year.

I don't know if I don't look it up, I was startled and opened the first name on the roster, which made Lu Bu's heart jump.
