Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Uncle Er is also interested in internal combustion engines? "Zhu Zhanyan was surprised by Zhu Gaoxu's keen insight. It seems that he has noticed the future of the internal combustion engine, but the internal combustion engine project is only known to the academic team in charge of this project at Nanhai University, and it has not yet taken shape. If Zhu Gaoxu can be so keenly aware His vision for the future of the internal combustion engine is indeed amazing.

"Why are you not interested?"

"Second Uncle knows what this thing does?"

"do not know."

"Then why is Second Uncle interested?"

"The things you tinkered with are very useful. The steam engine has made great contributions to Daming over the years. Although I have never seen that kind of internal combustion engine, I just think it will definitely have a future in the future."

Zhu Zhanqian smiled bitterly: "Second uncle, do you have too much blind confidence in me?"

"You have a good idea. The second uncle is getting old. It is the right way to follow you young people." Zhu Gaoxu laughed.

"Second Uncle, this thing hasn't been made yet, we'll talk about it when it's done."

Zhu Zhanqian resigned casually, Zhu Gaoxu did not ask but instead said: "Zhanqian, I am also very interested in Nanhai University, you see that you have built another Yenching University in Shuntianfu, and it is doing very well. How about this, you come to my Western Region Kingdom to run a university, all the funds and materials will be paid by me, you can rest assured that the money is enough, and the treatment will definitely not be bad.”

It can be seen that although Zhu Gaoxu is talking with a smile, but he is very serious, it must have been carefully planned, and I have to say that although the second uncle is usually violent, he can always grasp the most important things in major events part.

It's no wonder, history says that Zhu Di wanted to pass on the throne to Zhu Gaoxu, maybe he could be a good emperor when he was an emperor, at least he was very good at focusing on the matter of development.

Over the years in the Kingdom of the Western Regions, he has not wasted any of the facilities left over from the previous wars, and he will develop what can be developed. Now mentioning the internal combustion engine is optimistic about the future of this thing.

Although he doesn't know what this is, he can know from the information and his own observation that Zhu Zhanqian is constantly investing in this project on a large scale, and he is keenly aware of it. Zhu Gaochi and even Zhu Zhanji are more sensitive than him. It's worse.

If you want a university, you want talents. Even if Zhu Zhanqian does not send someone to help him build a university this time, I believe he will try his best to build a university by himself, and learn the model of Nanhai University to cultivate talents.

"Second Uncle, I'll go back and discuss the matter of the university. I sent a group of people to Shuntian Mansion before. These years, Nanhai University has not cultivated talents so quickly, and it is difficult for young teachers to take on this important task for a while."

"It's okay. I'm already building the school. When the time comes, you will be responsible for sending some people over to support it. I will give you a high salary, definitely a high salary."

Reach out and don't hit the smiling person, and Zhu Zhan is not willing to break up with Zhu Gaoxu because of this time. Although there are certain hidden dangers, it is not big. After the United Nations is established, the internal disputes in Ming Dynasty will be much smaller, and they will contain each other. , Even if the second uncle has any ideas, it is difficult to act.

"Okay, Second Uncle, I'll send a team over there, but Second Uncle has something to say beforehand."

"whats the matter?"

"School is a place to study knowledge. Second Uncle, as the king of the Western Regions, you can participate in some, but you can't interfere too much. You can't say that you force students to do bad things, especially in politics. If a student graduates and joins the Kingdom of the Western Regions, It is of course another story to become a civil servant and military general under Second Uncle's command, but as a student, Second Uncle must not interfere too much, otherwise I will withdraw everyone."

Zhu Gaoxu frowned in deep thought, then nodded: "Okay, that's it, it's a deal, regret is a puppy."

Zhu Gaoxu laughed happily.

"Zhan Qian, sometimes I really can't understand why you shouldn't be the Emperor of Ming Dynasty?"

"Second uncle, we don't have this life."

"You boy, give me something to say again."

The two chatted happily, raised their glasses and drank heavily. After drinking for three rounds, Zhu Gaoxu said again: "Zhan Yan

Some time ago, a large tomb was excavated in the Kingdom of the Western Regions. "

"Second Uncle, why are you still in this business? As far as I know, the Western Region Kingdom should have enough treasury right now. As the middle point of the trade routes between the Ming Dynasty and the Timurid Empire, the Western Region Kingdom's business is prosperous. Why do you have to go to the tomb? gone."

"What is tomb robbery? Will you be able to speak? This is called protective excavation, scientific research-type coffin opening."

"Second uncle, was the southeast corner lit when you went down to the tomb?"

"Don't worry, you don't touch gold when the cocking light is off. This is a rule passed down from your ancestors. You know that I don't know? Oh no, don't talk nonsense. I didn't go down. The captains under me went down."

"Then second uncle, you know the way so well?"

"Don't interrupt, let's talk about business."

"Second uncle, tell me."

Zhu Gaoxu blushed, drunkenly, and said dizzily, "Guess whose tomb is it?"

"Looking at the meaning of the second uncle, it should be a celebrity. If it is a celebrity related to the Western Regions, could it be the Ghost Cave Clan, the Queen of Essence?"

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Zhu Zhanqi contemptuously: "What is a postmenopausal queen, what's so good about the tomb of a queen at such an age, and I don't know who this person is, guess again, it's a celebrity anyway, sir celebrity."

When Zhu Zhanqian thought about it, goosebumps came up: "Could it be... Could it be the tomb of Genghis Khan Temujin?"

Even now, no one has found this large tomb. If it is his tomb, it is really worth exploring. There may be some rare treasures.

"No... yes! Guess again."

Zhu Zhanqian was a little speechless, and he didn't have time to play this kind of guessing game with Zhu Gaoxu: "Second Uncle, just tell me, if you don't tell me, I can leave."

"It's Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian's tomb."

"Is that Zhang Qian who was sent as an envoy to the Western Regions in the Western Han Dynasty?"

"Yes, it's his tomb. You can never imagine what's inside."

"What else can there be, isn't it gold, silver, jade, and bronze ritual vessels? Can there be beautiful women?"

"Yes, there really is, and it is a peerless beauty. According to Captain Mojin who went down to the tomb, when they came to the side of the main coffin, they saw a lifelike beauty and a winged bird on the left and right sides. Pegasus."

As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu began to describe: "The two are so lifelike, a few people stepped forward boldly, only to see clearly that they are made of metal."

"Made of metal? Carving? Don't you usually use stone Wengzhong, stone tiger and stone sheep?" Zhu Zhanqian was a little puzzled by Zhu Gaoxu's words, and couldn't think of what kind of lifelike beauty and a long Pegasus with wings.

This seems a bit bizarre, like telling a story about tomb robbers.

"The whole body of the winged pegasus is made of steel. The captains touched it with their hands. Let alone touching it, the horse will move that day."

"Hey, Second Uncle, do you think I'm a three-year-old kid, making up such a story to lie to me." Zhu Zhanqian's eyes were speechless when he heard this, and he lost interest.

"I didn't lie to you, the captains told me after they came up from the tomb."

"That's Captain Mojin lying to you. Captain Mojin is the best at deceiving people, especially the fat ones, who can run horses with their mouths."

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly explained: "He brought me a piece of pure white iron plate, saying that it came from that day's horse, a Pegasus made of steel, and the armor on its body was like the dragon scales. It is said that the Pegasus When it moves, the white steam that comes out from its hind legs looks a bit like a steam engine.”

"Dragon scale iron sheet? Steam drive? Second uncle, why don't you go write it. People who have written it in the past two years have made a lot of money. I think your subject matter is fine. How about you write [-] words and an outline? I'll help you." Take a look first, if it becomes popular, I will send you a daily newspaper directly.”

"I'm not kidding you, that thing is in my palace, it should be too precious so I didn't bring it out."

"Even if there is, it's just a piece of iron in the shape of a dragon scale."

Zhu Gaoxu immediately shook his head: "No, no, then
It is not an ordinary piece of iron, I tried it, it is very strong, and the craftsmanship is very fine, I showed it to the last craftsman under my hand, he said that it is difficult to make it according to the current level. "

"Oh?" Zhu Zhanqian couldn't help but feel some waves in his heart when he heard Zhu Gaoxu's serious expression.

You must know that the level of craftsmen in Daming is very high now, especially in the development of steam engines in these years, the craftsmanship of Daming craftsmen is very good. If the possibility of Zhu Gaoxu deliberately fooling Zhu Zhanqian is excluded, then this thing is amazing.

The lifelike steel pegasus, the dragon scale armor and the steam drive, it is impossible no matter how you think about it, even if you gather all of Zhu Zhanqian's current powers, he still thinks he can't make it.

And the tombs of the Han Dynasty at that time, after more than 1000 years, can they still move?

"Then second uncle, why didn't you bring out Tianma and the beauty."

"Oh, I suffered a lot that time. The captains woke up the Iron Sky Horse. The one who came out alive said that the Iron Sky Horse walks exactly like an ordinary horse. As long as you don't look at its steel body, it is an ordinary horse. , so others thought about activating that steel-made beauty.”

"Is it activated?"

"Activated."

According to Zhu Gaoxu, this is a steam robot. Don't say it can't be built now, even if it is pushed back a few hundred years, modern technology may not be able to do it.

"It's also powered by steam?"

"Yes, exhaust on the head..."

Zhu Zhanqian shook his head again: "Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible, how could there be a steam robot with exhaust on its head? Second uncle, you have to make up stories within a reasonable range. If you make up stories like this, it's three Even the youngest children don't believe it."

Zhu Gaoxu held down Zhu Zhanqin who was about to leave: "Don't go now, listen to me, after that woman wakes up, she tells everyone that those who violated the tomb of Marquis Bowang, die!"

"Shaanxi accent." Zhu Gaoxu added.

"Second Uncle, you are not inside, so what you say seems to be true."

"Although I didn't go in, there was too much movement at the end. What I saw from the outside was real." Zhu Gaoxu's face was full of lingering fear, and people couldn't help but feel that his words were more true.

"What happened in the end?" Zhu Zhanqian asked immediately.

Zhu Gaoxu went on to say: "After that beauty woke up, she seemed like a real person. The captains were all frightened, so they wanted to run out quickly with the things they got earlier."

"According to what the lieutenants said, the iron beauty lifted Zhang Qian's coffin and started hitting people."

Zhu Zhanqian was speechless again. He had already made up such a ghost thing as a steam robot. If he didn’t make up the way of fighting well, he could just use some laser or something, but it was probably because his imagination limited Zhu Gaoxu’s performance. The only thing he could think of was throwing the coffin boards at people.

"Later." Zhu Zhanqian planned to listen to him finish telling this outrageous story.

"Later, the school captains didn't care much and started running away. Most of them died. Only two ran to the entrance of the robber's cave. I was waiting for them outside the cave."

"Seeing their flustered expressions like dead mothers, I didn't take it seriously at first. After pulling up the first person, the second person just couldn't pull up."

"He said that something was grabbing him. I looked down, and my mouth was completely dark, but I could see a pair of red eyes, which were definitely not human eyes. A group of people reasonably wanted to pull him out. Gradually, I I also saw the person with the red eyes, it wasn’t real, but I could see a pair of steel-made hands holding on to the man’s calf, and the entire calf was deformed.”

"Everyone was terrified, and the person holding him was also frightened and let go, causing him to be dragged back to the underground palace by that person."

Zhu Gaoxu still had lingering fears when he mentioned this matter.

Zhu Zhanqian asked curiously: "Second Uncle, did you really see it?"

"Really, really can't be more true." Zhu Gaoxu said with unusual determination.

"The man who came out ran like crazy, so I took people to chase him. Unexpectedly, after running a little distance, there was a loud noise like thunder.

It came from the ground, and then there was a second sound. I didn’t dare to stay there anymore, so I immediately ran away with people. When the third sound exploded, a big hole was smashed into the whole ground. The mountains fell into it, and if I didn't run fast, my life would have to be accounted for there. "

Zhu Zhanqian didn't know whether he should change his belief or not. It felt like it was true, but no matter what, he felt that this thing was too bizarre, and he was a fool.

"Second uncle, what about the dragon scale iron plate you mentioned?"

"It's in my palace, go back to my palace this time, I'll show it to you, it's a treasure."

"Haha, Second Uncle, why don't you send it to Nanhai University, I'll let the best biologists study it." Zhu Zhanqian will not be fooled, he will not go to the Kingdom of the Western Regions.

"That can't be done, this thing is very precious."

"Send it here."

"no."

"I ordered the Thousand Guards to lead the team."

"That's not OK."

The two uncles and nephews were noisy, and the night was drowsy, and when he woke up, Zhu Zhanqian didn't know whether what Zhu Gaoxu said was true or not.
