Chapter 274 Necessary for Time Travel—Making a Steam Engine ()

Moreover, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che also issued another decree, asking the people of the Han Dynasty to find this thing called rubber. If they find the way, the court will give him a large reward.

After countless people heard the imperial court's decree, they were very excited. Such a reward was really rare.

And in their opinion, getting such a reward is easier than making a steam engine.

They began to search through various plants in their minds, hoping that they could find this thing called rubber.

But the result disappointed them. They had never seen such a thing in their lives.

But even so, they still took action because the rewards from the court were too many.

With the idea that they might be able to get it, they searched all over the mountains and plains.

However, the result disappointed them. They could not find the thing called rubber.

Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan were also very disappointed with the steam engines built by the craftsmen.

They originally thought that making the steam engine would be as simple as making various things on the canopy before, but this time they really realized the gap between them and later generations!

The key is the sealing of the steam engine, which they did not have in this era.

They can only experiment based on the materials they have on hand, trying to find a substitute among these materials, but the results they get are failures again and again.

But they were unwilling to solve this problem, so they went to deflate the gas to make a steam engine.

They could only give orders to the craftsmen and let them find a way to solve this problem.

After the craftsmen received the order, they could only smile bitterly.

They are just craftsmen, not gods. Without materials, they really can't make a steam engine.

But their Majesty has given them an order, and even if they know the final result, they can only try their best to complete it.

Otherwise, if they disobey the order, not only will they lose their lives, but their families will also be implicated.

Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang has already issued orders to behead those craftsmen who did not perform well.

In Yang Guang's view, what use are these craftsmen who cannot help him reach the steam engine on the sky? It's better to behead them to vent your anger!

But when he saw the comments on the marquee, he felt that he had wronged the craftsmen.

The fact that the original steam engine could not be used was not the problem of the craftsmen, but that the materials of his era were not up to standard.

Not only that, but also because of the lack of sealing materials in their era, the steam engine failed again and again due to loose sealing.

But as the emperor of a country, how could he admit his failure?

He pretended that he had not seen the comments on the canopy and continued to issue a new order, asking the craftsmen to find a solution.

The craftsmen working in the workshops outside Luoyang City were panicking at this time.

They had already been mentally prepared for the outcome of not being able to create a steam engine and being beheaded, but when this actually happened around them, they were still extremely panicked.

They are afraid that something like this will happen in their hearts. After all, the gap between their future generations is really too big, and it is impossible to accomplish everything that is not in the sky.

They want to escape from this prison, but there is no easy way. After all, the whole world belongs to the Sui Dynasty, and their family also lives in the Sui Dynasty. Where can they escape to?

And even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to escape from this heavily guarded prison.

They felt a little unwilling, but they had to accept their fate.

They can only study and manufacture steam engines again, hoping that their efforts will be successful and not let their lives be lost because they failed to create something on the canopy.

They even sometimes complain about why there is a canopy in the sky? If there was no canopy in the sky, these craftsmen would not be placed outside Luoyang City, and their own destiny would not be controlled.

But now everything is useless, they can only work hard, and only then can they control their own destiny.

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin looked at Tianmu's comments and fell into silence.

He had already realized the difficulty of making a steam engine, but after reading the comments on the sky screen, he realized that what he thought was simple.

But he saw the effect of the steam engine on the sky screen, how could he give up so easily?

He discussed with his ministers and finally decided to gather all the craftsmen in Datang to solve various difficulties in making steam engines.

To this end, he set up a separate Mechanical Department in the Ministry of Works, where smart craftsmen could study how to solve various problems in manufacturing steam engines.

Some scholars were even incorporated into this department, hoping to use their knowledge to summarize various issues raised by the craftsmen.

And based on the various problems raised by the craftsmen, various suggestions for improvement were put forward.

With the establishment of the Mechanical Department, the entire lobby was operating at high altitude to solve the problem of steam engines.

Countless excellent craftsmen were recruited into this department and summed up based on their experience.

The results summarized were then implemented by various craftsmen to solve various difficulties in manufacturing steam engines.

While this works, sealable materials have never been the solution.

Faced with such a result, the craftsmen hope that Tianmu can give them some advice on replacing the sealing materials so that they will not make a good steam engine because the sealing materials are not up to standard and cannot be used.

Song.

Zhao Zhen looked at the comments on the sky screen and realized the gap between the Song Dynasty and later generations.

Although the Song Dynasty was the most prosperous era from ancient times to the present, and it was also a dynasty with numerous talents, they still had no way to deal with various difficulties in manufacturing steam engines.

Even if they gathered outstanding craftsmen from all over the country to overcome it, they still could not solve the problem of steam engine sealing.

But Zhao Zhen was not willing to give up making steam engines so easily, especially after seeing the various functions of steam engines on the sky screen.

Zhao Zhen also became more and more aware of the role these things had on the entire court. If it is really applied on a large scale, it will simply change the world.

By then, the Song Dynasty's business will only become more and more developed, and the court will also receive more and more tax revenue.

Only when the Song Dynasty had enough money could they carry out the Northern Expedition and capture the 16 states of Yanyun.

In order to solve the problems of manufacturing steam engines, he began to add these problems to technology, hoping that scholars all over the world could solve these problems.

He believed that those scholars, with their intelligence and talents, would definitely be able to think of a solution.
