I was watching short videos and was seen by ancient people

Chapter 273 Necessary for Time Travel—Making a Steam Engine ()

"I took a sip of salt soda: The foundation in ancient times was too weak. It took a long time to build a steam engine. If you traveled back in time to ancient times, their materials would definitely be substandard. In addition, in order to smelt and forge rubber before it can be used, it needs to be subdivided, such as rubber. Vulcanization technology, if there is no vulcanized rubber, even if a steam engine is made, it will not be able to be used. 》

When people from all dynasties saw the comments on the sky screen, they realized that they were too simplistic.

They finally understood why the steam engine they built had steam that was not used from time to time.

For this situation, they also tried many methods.

At first they only used some mud to apply it, but obviously this method didn't work.

When the water in their steam engine starts to roll, it will wet the mud, causing the mud to crack, so that the steam escapes.

Later, they used cement from the canopy to cover it, but the effect was still not ideal.

Later, they used some other methods, but the effect was not very good. If the steam engine could not move, the strike would be useless!

Now when they saw the sky curtain, they realized that later generations used rubber to seal the steam engine so that when the water in the steam engine boiler was boiled, the steam would not escape automatically and could be used for a long time.

But they didn't know what the rubber was, which brought their efforts to build a steam engine to a standstill.

Not only did their steam engines grind to a halt, but so did those built by the landowners.

They encountered the same situation. After the water in the steam engine boiled, a large amount of steam would overflow, so that the steam engine they made could not run for a long time.

Such a steam engine that cannot run for a long time will not be able to complete what is said in the Third Eye. What is the use of having it?

This also puts all the landowners who develop steam engines into a dilemma. If they continue to invest, manufacturing steam engines will require a large amount of money. If they do not make them, all previous investments will be in vain.

Although they now have the answer on the sky screen, they have no way to solve this problem.

In the end, they made up their minds to continue investing. After all, the money invested cannot only be seen as a half-finished product.

Qin Dynasty.

The Mohist disciples read the message on the sky screen, and they were all silent.

They once again felt the gap between themselves and future generations, and understood why they couldn't use this steam engine.

It turns out that there is not only a gap between them and later generations, but also a gap between Qin Daqin's industry and later generations.

The consequence of this is that many things in later generations cannot be manufactured even if they know the principles in Da Qin.

But they are not reconciled. After all, pursuing technological progress is their lifelong dream!

Moreover, according to the order issued by Qin Shihuang, if they don’t continue to produce it, selfies will not be possible! They can only persist in research.

At the same time, I prayed in my heart that Qin Shihuang would not ask about the production status of the steam engine?

Only after Qin Shihuang saw the comments on the sky screen did he understand the gap between Great Qin and later generations.

He felt that he had mistakenly blamed the people of later generations for being ignorant. If the people of later generations were really ignorant, how could they create such sophisticated machines.

And I saw the comments on the sky screen saying that making a steam engine cannot be made by simply imitating it. It requires a certain amount of industrial strength.

Obviously, these things cannot be accomplished by one person, and it is exactly what Da Qin lacks. He gradually accepted this result, but he was not reconciled to it. After all, the role of this steam engine is too extensive. If Da Qin had this steam engine, I am afraid that earth-shaking changes would occur.

So he issued an edict to move the Mohist school out of Baijia College, build a Mohist college, and recruit students from the people of Great Qin.

When students from other schools of thought in Baijia College heard the news, they felt very unhappy.

In their opinion, they were all from the same Bai family, so why did the Moh family receive such treatment? And they don't have such treatment?

So the other schools of the Baijia School protested to Li Si, who was in charge of the Baijia Academy, but the result was that if you have the ability to imitate things on the sky curtain like the Mohist school, and know the principles behind it, you can also apply.

Regarding this result, other schools among the hundreds of schools fell into silence. They did not have such ability.

But they are not willing to lag behind others. After all, if they don't fight, among these hundreds of colleges, the result waiting for them will be decline.

When the children of the Mohist family knew that they could build a Mohist college, they were very happy.

After the death of the Mohist giant Mozi, especially after the death of the second-generation Mohist giant Meng Sheng, the Mohist family split.

Later, although the Mohist disciples achieved a short-term revival through hard work, they understood that if the Mohist family remained like this, the result waiting for them would only be destruction.

So they undertook the project of building the mausoleum from Qin Shihuang, even though they knew that after Suzuki was completed, the result waiting for them would be death. They hoped that the Mohist family would be valued by Qin Shihuang and delay the decline of the Mohist family.

It was at this time that there was a turning point, a marquee appeared in the sky, and items from later generations were broadcast one after another, which gradually attracted their attention.

Now the entire Mohist family has established a separate Mohist academy because they want to make a steam engine for the canopy.

This allowed all the Mohist disciples to see hope and the hope of reviving the Mohist family.

Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che sighed slightly when he saw the message on the sky screen.

He originally expected that the steam engine on the sky would bring more changes to the Han Dynasty, and he had already issued a decree to build a railway between Chang'an City and Xianyang City within a short distance.

But now I see the comments on the skylight, I am afraid that this railway will be far away.

Because he had never heard of the material called rubber on the canopy, and he didn't know how to obtain it.

And knowing that steam engines are not like before, they can be used very well by simply making some machinery.

For today's big man, he really needs to break through too many things, but the craftsmen in the palace do not have such ability.

This reminded Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, of the Mohists during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Perhaps only they could have such ability.

But now that the Mo family has long since declined, I wonder if they still have such ability.

However, there are still two or two nails in a rotten ship, so he still issued an order to find the Mohist disciples and let them participate in the construction of steam engines.
