Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

Chapter 588: A product of an era! Ming Dynasty enters the steam age!

On the other hand, in the capital, good news continued to come in, and Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Han Cheng also received good news.

He had been looking forward to this great thing for a long time.

Always hoping to arrive soon.

Hoping to make his wish come true.

And now, finally the exact news has come out.

Things turned out just as he had imagined, and it really made him get what he wanted!

The great news is nothing else but Xiao He, who is always by my side, very considerate and silent.

It’s an intimate life with my young wife by my side.

Moreover, it was a girl!
This made Han Cheng extremely happy.

By the way, Han Cheng wanted a girl as his first child.

After all, it is said that a daughter is her father’s little cotton-padded jacket.

The pink and tender little girl is indeed a rare sight.

Although this little cotton jacket is often prone to leaking air.

But there was no way, Han Cheng wanted to have a little girl as his first child.

But unfortunately, the first child did not come as a girl, but a boy came instead.

That is why, when Han Cheng first learned that Xiao He was pregnant, he waited day and night for her.
Thinking that Xiaohe could give birth to a daughter.

In this way, I will have both a son and a daughter.

Now, the final result has emerged.

Xiaohe did not disappoint him. Just as he had expected, she gave birth to a daughter!
Looking at this adorable little girl, Han Cheng felt so happy!

Holding it in my arms, I can’t get enough of looking at it!
Xiao He seemed a little unhappy because she gave birth to a girl.

Afraid that my husband won’t like it.

But at this time, she saw how much her husband cherished his daughter.

It even seemed more precious than when Her Royal Highness the Princess gave birth to a son.

The tension in my heart was suddenly put down.

At the same time, I suddenly felt that having a daughter was a good thing.

For her, having a daughter is the best choice.

In this way, there will be fewer troubles in the future.

Although she also knew that given Her Royal Highness the Princess's personality, she would never have any thoughts about giving birth to a son.

But Xiao He thinks that it is good to think more about some things.

Princess Ningguo was also very happy that Xiaohe gave birth to a daughter.

In this way, Xiao He will have a place to stay in the future.

It means that it has completely taken root.

After Xiaohe gave birth to a daughter, Han Cheng soon learned about the battle achievements of Xu Da, Lan Yu and others on the grassland.

I was immediately delighted.

Especially after knowing that they actually dealt with the Oirat Mongols this time and directly conquered the Wolf's Lair.

I felt even happier in my heart!

At the same time, I also feel a little regretful.

How great would it be if I could go with them this time and take part in the event of Fenglangjuxu?
This is Fenglangjuxu!

Countless Chinese men feel fascinated and their blood boils when they think of it!
But unfortunately, he did not attend this time.

And he also knew that given how much Lao Zhu valued him, he would never let him get involved in such things.

Due to his existence, the Northern Yuan Dynasty royal court was completely wiped out several years earlier than the original history.

Even the Wala were greatly impacted.

Was hit hard in advance.

The threat has been largely eliminated.

One step closer to your ideal.

Then in the future, the Ming Dynasty may be able to continue to expand southwards!

After all, the Ming Dynasty is preparing to expand overseas in the future.

It is not enough to rely solely on the Yangtze River estuary and the sea outlets to the south.

It would be best to take over the Indochina Peninsula.

Not to mention taking over the entire area, at least we have to take over all of South Vietnam.

That long sea and the strait further south are truly eye-catching.

Cooperating with Ming Dynasty's overseas development strategy will surely make Ming Dynasty even greater!
In the future, it will become more convenient to communicate with the outside world.

There can be a strong complementarity between the north and the south.

Don't think that the place is too big and you won't be able to govern it in the future.

Because of his appearance, there have been huge changes.

He, a person from the future, came here.

Well, some things can still be changed after all.

For example, steam locomotives, heavy machine guns... as long as they can be built.

Then the Ming Dynasty could greatly expand its territory based on its current foundation.

Can still control it.

So Han Cheng, when he has nothing to do recently, goes to places like the Bingzhang Bureau.

Focus on the research, development and production of steam engines.

As soon as people arrived at the Bingzhang Bureau, they smelled the smell of burning coal.

At the same time, there was a large, strange-looking iron lump that was spewing white mist.

This is the result of the hard work of Han Cheng and the people from the Bingzhang Bureau.

The steam engine at this time is compared with the previous one.

There have been big changes.

Has been further improved.

Last time, the steam engine that Han Cheng and everyone else made drove the flywheel to rotate for a while and then there was no movement.

But now, the flywheel is still running continuously.

However, the speed of the flywheel's rotation is very different from the speed of the diesel engines seen in later generations.

But it can spin continuously.

This is extremely good news and a huge improvement.

"How long has the steam engine been running?"

After observing here for a while, Han Cheng looked at the person who was guarding here and taking notes and asked him questions.

"It's already been thirty hours, and another quarter of an hour!"

The person in charge of recording gave this answer immediately after hearing Han Cheng's question.

Thirty hours and two quarters?
After receiving such an answer, Han Cheng's face suddenly showed joy.

This time, the rotation time was really beyond his expectations.

Before this, he felt that after the improvements, the fact that it could run continuously for twelve hours without any problems was already a great success.

Who could have imagined that the actual result would be far beyond his previous imagination.

This shows that the steam engine they made has gradually become more perfect.

It can even be put to practical use!

"Good! Well done, continue watching the record here.

Write it all down.”

After giving some instructions to the people working here, Han Cheng left with brisk steps.

He had a hunch that it wouldn't be long before steam locomotives began to appear in the Ming Dynasty!
Although today's steam engines still have many problems and many areas that need to be improved.

But this is already developing in a positive direction.

You can't eat a fat man in one bite.

As long as there is progress, it is good news that deserves praise.

Han Cheng soon arrived at another place in the Bingzhang Bureau.

Here, the corresponding track has been laid on the ground. This track cost a lot of money.

These are not ordinary wooden rails, but directly laid steel rails!

Its width and workmanship are the same as the information about trains that Han Cheng exchanged from the lover system.

This rail is very expensive.

But Han Cheng also knew that no matter how high the cost, he had to get it done!

Promote it!

In the future, these railway lines will become major arteries.

Spread all over the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Connect the territory of the Ming Dynasty and unite it into a whole.

This track is about ten miles long and is a slow-moving track.

There are bridges along the way, as well as some uphill and downhill climbs.

This was intentional on his part.

The purpose is to be able to better test the performance of steam locomotives in the future.

The construction of tracks, research on steam engines and steam locomotives were all under the leadership of Han Cheng.

It's all happening at the same time.

The purpose is to produce a more user-friendly steam engine.

They can carry out promotion trials here as soon as possible.

Get the steam locomotive out as quickly as possible.

This thing is really important!
Han Cheng had long thought that the Ming Dynasty would be able to enter the steam age.

Now, Han Cheng feels that this day is not far away!

……

Ten days later, Han Cheng came to Bingzhang again and installed the steam engine, which had undergone some improvements, into the steam locomotive.

There is a steering wheel and braking facilities on it.

It is complete in every aspect.

In Han Cheng's opinion, it was a bit retro, but also too simple and rough.

However, in the eyes of many Ming people, it seemed extremely novel.

After putting the front of the car onto the track.

Water and coal were added to it.

Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, the steam engine soon started to turn.

There was a hissing sound.

White smoke began to spew out.

At the same time, some smoke came out.

At the same time, the flywheel on the steam engine began to turn.

And through its rotation, this energy is brought to the wheels of the locomotive...

At the Bingzhang Bureau, many people looked at each other in shock.

The front of the car actually started to move forward!
Bang, bang, bang...

A rhythmic sound also sounded.

For a moment, everyone was stunned!

Soon, deafening cheers broke out.

They all felt extremely novel and shocked!

The look he gave Han Cheng was also full of admiration!
This... this actually, actually worked? !

They actually made a car that doesn't need to be pulled by oxen or horses, doesn't need to eat grass, and can move forward automatically just by eating coal and water!
This is truly an extremely shocking and joyful thing!

The most important thing is that this thing is different from cattle and horses that need rest.

Just need it not to break down and as long as there is enough fuel.

It will be able to operate continuously and move forward continuously!

Han Cheng was watching this scene from the side and was also extremely happy.

Even my eyes were a little wet!
It's not easy, it's really not easy!

It has been such a long time since I came to Ming Dynasty.

Finally entered the steam age!
This is a very solid step forward!
This steam locomotive is not very fast.

Even at this time, it is almost the same speed as a person walking briskly.

But in Han Cheng's view, this has epoch-making significance!

After turning more than twenty circles, Han Cheng ordered people to apply braking measures to stop the locomotive.

Then combine it with some of the situations that have just occurred.

Have a discussion with the technicians nearby.

Regarding the car's braking problem, and some other things, have a conversation and make improvements...

Another half month passed like this.

Han Cheng invited Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Empress Ma, and his own young wife to the Bingzhang Bureau.

They also already knew what Han Cheng wanted to do by calling them over at this time.

They were equally excited and thrilled.

After all, long before this, they had already learned from Han Cheng about trains, high-speed trains, and airplanes that could fly in the sky. These were very common means of transportation in later generations, but they astounded them.

I am also particularly looking forward to what Han Cheng is doing now, the ancestor of trains and high-speed railways, the steam locomotive!
After all, everything developed from nothing.

Now that they have finally taken a solid step, how can they not be excited?

Not happy?
Don’t you want to see what’s going on?
He skillfully added water and coal into the train, lit it, and soon the train started.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma and others sat in the carriage.

At this time, the windows of the carriage were open, allowing people to see the scenery outside.

Han Cheng personally served as the driver in the front.

With a whistle sounded, a steam locomotive came out with white smoke.

It started to run with a clang sound.

Very stable.

But the speed is not very fast.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, Zhu Biao and others sat here and felt it.

Everyone found it extremely novel!
This thing is really good!
It was actually manufactured?

There is no need to eat grass or rest, you can just pull the cart and run.

The key is that this thing is very powerful.

It is no problem to pull seven or eight carriages at once.

The key is to learn from Han Cheng that we can continue to improve in the future.

This car will be able to pull more.

The speed will also be faster.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but become more excited.

If that time really comes, the Ming Dynasty will be able to use the resources to mobilize troops, transport food, or provide relief to disaster victims.

Whether it is suppressing a rebellion or many other aspects, everything will become extremely smooth.

It will also provide better communication between the north and the south.

It is far from what it is today!
Zhu Yuanzhang was looking forward to this day!

However, some people think that the cars made by Han Cheng look weird.

It's totally a waste of money and effort.

After all, it's too slow.

It's not much different from a person walking briskly.

Even the speed of a horse-drawn carriage is far behind.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who leaned his head out of the carriage, suddenly discovered something.

Suddenly I felt my hair stand on end!

The hooks at the connection of the train carriages look so loose, as if they will come off at any time! ! ! (End of this chapter)
