I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 375 The future Ming Dynasty!New world!
"Don't be too polite."

Lao Zhu smiled kindly. The more he looked at his granddaughter-in-law, the more he liked her.

Not only does he wholeheartedly think about Zhu Yunzhen, he is also smart enough and can even help Zhu Yunzhen a lot. In the future, he will definitely be able to assist Zhu Yunzhen, so that the Ming Dynasty will become more prosperous and the harem will be stable.

You know, it is extremely difficult for a king to have a harem that is not troublesome.

Only when the harem is peaceful can the emperor have more energy to deal with other government affairs.

Zhu Yunzhen also said: "Let's go and see what's going on inside."

Although it has always been Zhu Yunzhen who took the lead in determining the direction of the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau before conducting research, Zhu Yunzhen sometimes throws out a lot of ideas.

Therefore, Zhu Yunzhen was not particularly clear about the specific situation and what exactly he had researched.

He only learned about these through Xu Miaojin.

The last time the rifling incident happened, it was after Xu Miaojin reported it that he learned that the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau had achieved a new breakthrough.

"Yes!"

Xu Miaojin naturally took the order and led everyone deeper inside.

The newly expanded Jinling Shibafang no longer resembles the original small workshop, but has been transformed into a spacious factory with tall factory buildings.

Inside, utensils are being produced using an assembly line.

At the same time, the entire factory borrowed the power of hydraulics to build a set of machinery, which can save a lot of manpower.

But today’s goal is not to visit the specific production factory.

So after passing through a number of factories, Xu Miaojin led everyone to a closed house. Although one side of the house faced the river, the remaining three walls were sealed.

There is only a small door to get through.

After passing the small door, there is a dark corridor, and I don't know where it leads.

"So mysterious?"

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but complain.

The dark corridor was not wide, so he often bumped into walls left and right without being able to see the way forward.

"Quiet!"

"You three just watch it!"

Zhu Di turned around and scolded.

Soon, the dark corridor came to the end, and the sudden light made everyone couldn't help but cover their eyes.

After getting used to it, I finally saw clearly that there was a very spacious room in front of me.

Many craftsmen inside were busy minding their own business, and there were two things that stood out the most in the room. One was a huge furnace that was emitting thick steam and roaring constantly.

There is also a ship made of steel parked on the lake.

In other places, there are craftsmen who are hammering out strange-looking muskets.

There were even some craftsmen tinkering with bottles of colorful potions.

It looks very strange.

The scene in front of them made the three brothers Lao Zhu, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi wonder whether they had gone to the wrong place.

Is this still Daming?

When in the Ming Dynasty did such a place exist?There are many creations here that they have never even seen!
Especially the huge stove, the craftsman adds charcoal fire and water at the same time.

It will continuously make a roaring sound and then drive the huge wheels behind it to rotate crazily, making the car click and click.

And the ship made entirely of steel is even more strange.

Wouldn't such a heavy ship sink?Moreover, even if it doesn't sink, can it run?
But let's talk about it.

What shocked a few people the most was the colorful potions.

There are weird bubbles and it looks very strange.

"This is..." Lao Zhu couldn't hold it anymore, pointed at the huge stove, and asked Xu Miaojin.

Xu Miaojin immediately led everyone over.

Only then did I realize that this was not a stove, but there were various devices outside it, as well as thick pipes. "Your Majesty, this is a steam engine."

"As long as there is water and charcoal, it can provide power. Don't underestimate this machine. The power of this machine alone is no less than that of three horses."

Lao Zhu's jaw almost dropped.

Pointing at this thing, he said: "Just such a thing, can it have the strength of three horses?"

"And just add water and charcoal?"

There were not many other things in the Ming Dynasty. Water and charcoal were almost inexhaustible!

On the contrary, horses are expensive to eat and troublesome to take care of.

And don’t overwork yourself.

But the machine in front of me uses the most useless thing for people. Although people can't live without water, there simply isn't much water in the world!
Lao Zhu couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

But then he frowned sharply and asked: "But...even if you have the power of three horses, how can you use it?"

When it comes to how to use horses, Lao Zhu certainly knows.

But for such a machine, Lao Zhu was a little confused.

“There are just so many places available.”

Xu Miaojin pointed to the iron ship outside and said, "It's like using this machine to make the ship move."

"You don't need a sail, you can move by yourself."

Later, Xu Miaojin gave several examples.

"Unfortunately, the power output of this steam engine is still too low to meet the power required by large equipment, so it can only sit idle here."

"It is expected that the power of the steam engine will be increased to at least ten horses before formal investment can begin."

There is still a long way to go before this step.

It will take at least a few years.

Zhu Yunzhen stood behind the crowd without saying a word. He naturally understood the situation of the steam engine in general, at least there was no hope for the time being.

A few years later it only had the strength of ten horses.

And to develop to the peak of the steam engine, with the power of six thousand horses, we don't know how many years it will take.

I'm afraid it only takes the accumulation of generations to do it.

Although the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were smart, they could not create something from scratch. Faced with knowledge that was basically blank, they had to cross the river by feeling the stones, and naturally they had to pay a heavy price along the way.

But Lao Zhu and the others were extremely interested in steam engines.

When asked in detail.

Zhu Yunxuan came to the place where he had just seen chemical experiments being carried out. Of course he was not surprised by the steam engine.

What is really surprising is that the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty actually started researching chemistry that they only mentioned, and from the looks of it, they have already achieved certain results!

This is the real surprise!

If you want to support the modern Ming Dynasty planned by Zhu Yunzhen, you must walk on two legs of physics and chemistry at the same time.

Otherwise, if one thing is missing, you may fall!
behind the crowd.

Looking at the bustling research department, the three brothers Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but glance at each other.

Huddle together.

He whispered: "Second child, third child, pinch my thigh quickly."

"I feel like I'm dreaming. When did Ming Dynasty become like this?"

The second child, Zhu Gaoxu, was also shocked.

He grabbed Zhu Gaochi's thigh and hit him hard. The pain made Zhu Gaochi cry for his father and mother.

"Second brother! You are trying to kill someone!"
