Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Wu Zhonghua also has a great sense of accomplishment. When making steam engine parts, he felt the feeling of youth.

The development of CNC machine tools has gradually made skilled workers like him less important.

And with the growth of age, Wu Zhonghua's body is not as good as before.

Wu Zhonghua used to be able to file for eight hours at a time while standing at his work station, but before retirement, his physical strength was not as good as before, and his severe lumbar disc herniation made him feel pain even when he bent over.

But after entering the game, Wu Zhonghua's body has returned to the state of his youth.

He picks up the file every day full of energy, no waist pain, full of boundless energy.

This steam engine was built by Wu Zhonghua working day and night for five days. Looking at the white steam spouting from the exhaust port, Wu Zhonghua felt that he had been working hard day and night for the national project.

This game is really fun!

For a person of Wu Zhonghua's age, he doesn't understand what a super high-degree-of-freedom sandbox game is.

An old worker who has honed his skills in the workshop all his life, his understanding of Datang is the few characters in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

But this kind of state that makes Wu Zhonghua feel young again is really great!
Not only Wu Zhonghua thinks so, but Wu Zhonghua's wife Zhang Juanhua also thinks so.

Since the old couple entered the game, they have been addicted to the game every day, and Aunt Zhang didn't even dance in the square.

Wu Zhonghua turns parts in the workshop every day, and Aunt Zhang finds a job to use her spare energy.

Last month, a plague broke out among several Qiang tribes in northern Jiuquan County in the Hexi region.

Aunt Zhang didn't know when she joined a player union called "Hua Tuo is alive". The union organized a medical team, and Aunt Zhang even signed up for it.

The old couple has been separated in the game since then, but they eat at the same table every day when they are offline.

What Wugang didn't expect was that the busy parents in the game actually had fewer quarrels.

Talking about the interesting things they encountered at the dinner table, WISCO seems to have returned to the warm scene when they were young, their parents were busy with work, and the family seldom got together for dinner.

The steam engine was successfully developed, and WISCO immediately reported the system.

Li Yan, who was having breakfast, received a reminder from the system.

[Player Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. reports that it has manufactured Datang's first steam engine! 】

Li Yan immediately turned on the system, the steam engine!

Ever since the first players entered the game, these guys have been clamoring for a steam engine.

But most of the players have given up. DIY steam engine in Datang is much more difficult than copying steam engine in modern society.

Without lathes and high-precision measuring instruments, the difficulty of precision equipment such as hand steam engines can be imagined.

There was even an unlucky guy who accidentally had a cylinder explosion when he was making a steam engine, and it took a resurrection book to survive.

According to Jian Xia's estimation, with the current player's technical strength, it will take at least a year to produce a commercially available steam engine.

Has a player already succeeded?

Li Yan immediately checked the records, it turned out that it was because WISCO had the father of an eighth-level fitter!
Li Yan slapped his head, why didn't he think of this!

"System, the next time the player qualification is drawn, draw a few more retired skilled workers."

【As you wish. 】

Li Yan continued: "Issuing a full server announcement, giving rewards to WISCO and Wu Zhonghua!"

[The contribution of the steam engine to science is far greater than the contribution of science to the steam engine. 】

["Baigong" players Wugang and Wu Zhonghua invented the steam engine and completed the game achievement - the harbinger of the industrial revolution! 】

[Achievement Reward 1: Baigong Professional Experience Reward. 】

[Achievement Reward 2: A game test qualification. 】

[Achievement Reward 3: The only epic title—Fire Thief, and get the Response Forum Badge. 】

When this server-wide announcement was issued, all players were shocked and took it for granted, followed by a carnival for all players!
After so long, we finally have a steam engine!
Seeing the full server announcement, Wu Gang looked at the rewards and was so excited that it was hard to attach them.

Nowadays, the price of a game test qualification on second-hand trading websites has reached six figures.

In other words, this "invention" allowed the Wu family to get the income of working for several years at once!

Although Wu Zhonghua is an eighth-level fitter, he is only treated like an ordinary retired worker.

Wugang is a robot with a monthly salary of [-], which is a huge sum of money for them!

As soon as the excitement passed, Wu Gang immediately said: "Dad! Close the private message quickly!"

"Son, you are late, how can you close so much information!"

Wu Zhonghua clicked on a red dot in the private chat window, and thousands of private messages popped up in an instant.

Crazy private messages overwhelmed Wu Zhonghua at once, and he watched the transparent dialog box that popped up and overwhelmed him in a daze.

"Dad, go offline and log in again, remember to close the private chat when you come up!"

Wu Zhonghua immediately switched offline, and his body in the game gradually became rigid. After a while, Wu Zhonghua re-logged into the game.

"It's too scary!" Wu Zhonghua said.

Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. had been mentally prepared for a long time. He said: "There must be people who come to seek cooperation, some who want to buy steam engines, and some who join in the fun."

Wugang, who is also a player, is naturally clear about the urine of the players.

"Dad, how long will it take for us to produce one steam engine?"

Wu Zhonghua dragged his chin and said: "If it is still done by hand, I guess it will take three days to build one."

"so slow?"

Wu Zhonghua said: "I have to come to the car for the key parts, and the cylinder parts have to be polished by hand. It takes a day."

"The casing and pipes are simple. What you have done before has been qualified, but the precision of the connection parts is not enough."

Wuhan Iron and Steel is a little depressed, and the production efficiency is too low.

Wu Zhonghua looked at his son and said, "You are still a college student, have you forgotten the greatest significance of the steam engine?"

Wu Gang looked at his father, and Wu Zhonghua hated iron for being weak and said, "You haven't talked about a girlfriend for four years in college!"

"The greatest significance of the steam engine is to provide a stable source of power, then we can manufacture industrial mother machines."

"With the industrial master machine, our processing accuracy and processing speed can be improved a lot, so that we can create more steam engines."

"This is the steam engine's biggest leap forward in industrialization. You kid don't even understand this truth?"

Hearing his father's reprimand, Wu Gang lowered his head. This was the first time he was reprimanded by his father sincerely since high school.

The father, who used to be proud of his skills and was one-of-a-kind at home, has become kind-hearted as his body ages.

WISCO, who admired his father very much when he was a child, originally looked down on his father's identity as a craftsman, and even complained why his father asked him to study mechanical engineering.

But when Wu Zhonghua said these words, Wugang finally realized why the steam engine promotes the progress of human society.

Such a small machine is not just a source of power.

There are many sources of power used in human history, such as wind energy, water energy, and even the ancients have used solar energy to heat food with sunlight.

Compared with the torrential river water, the steam engine is actually not powerful.

But why did humans start to develop by leaps and bounds after the steam engine appeared, and the development in just a few hundred years exceeded the sum of thousands of years?
Or because the steam engine is a fully controllable energy source for humans.

The steam engine can provide stable and continuous power, allowing humans to create things like industrial mother machines.

The industrial mother machine can produce more steam engines, which in turn provide more power sources.

The harbinger of the industrial era is not sung from the roaring steam whistle of the steam engine, but from the cutting and milling sound of the industrial mother machine!
WISCO finally understands what is called the romance of machinery, our robots have transformed the world!

The spontaneous sense of pride once again made Wu Gang understand where his father's sense of honor came from.

Wu Gang said to Wu Zhonghua: "Dad, I want to learn fitter skills from you."

Wu Zhonghua looked at his son suspiciously.

The son who has become more and more rebellious since high school, even dismissed the fitter skills after he went to college.

"Mechanical engineering, a garbage and backward discipline, should be eliminated by the times."

Although WISCO has seldom said these things in recent years, the gap between father and son has invisibly increased.

Unexpectedly, after playing a game once, both the father and son unraveled the knots in their hearts for many years.

Wu Zhonghua said with a loud voice: "Since you want to learn, then I will teach! But you also know that I am very strict with my apprentices!"

Wu Gang immediately said: "I want to learn, dad, don't worry, my son is not afraid of hardship!"

Wu Gang continued: "Wait, dad, how are your apprentices doing now?"

Wu Zhonghua said: "They? It's time to retire to the second line now, and they will retire in a few years, right?"

Wu Gang's eyes lit up and he said, "Dad, tell my senior brothers, do you want to play games together?"

Only then did Wu Gang remember that several of Wu Zhonghua's apprentices are also technical backbones, and all of them are experts in their own right.

If they can enter the game, then the efficiency of this steam engine workshop will definitely be greatly accelerated!

Wu Zhonghua frowned and said, "I read the forum a few days ago and said that a test qualification needs 10,000+, are you willing?"

Wu Gang said: "Wu Gang! If you don't give up, how can you gain? As long as our steam engine workshop is built, we can earn more than this little money!"

"This is a steam engine! We will build an industrial mother machine in the future!"

"I don't want my child to be caught by a wolf. Our two test qualifications should be regarded as an investment!"

Wu Zhonghua nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact your senior brothers right now, and let's bring Datang files into the industrial age together!"
