Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

The flame burned and soon ignited the coal.

The coals were red hot and radiating heat.

It didn't take long for the water to boil.

As the water boils, a large amount of steam begins to appear.

But because the seal is tight enough, the water vapor cannot escape from the cylinder at all.

When the water vapor inside accumulates to a certain level.

There will be a hissing sound, pushing a piston.

After releasing this little bit of heat, the piston returns again.

This push and pull cycle repeats over and over again.

On the side of this steam engine, Mei Yin had already made a device.

The force generated by pushing and pulling the piston can be put into effect.

Drive a flywheel to rotate.

When I saw this flywheel, it really started to turn.

Mei Yin's face was full of smiles.

The whole person seemed extremely excited.

Done! Done!
It really did!

I really made the steam engine myself!

"Hahaha……"

He couldn't help laughing out loud, and he looked very happy.

Don't underestimate it now, this is just a small step.

But he knew that this step was not easy at all.

It can be said to be an extremely important step with epoch-making significance!
After this step, the future development of Daming will be completely different from before.

If we extend the time and look at it from a macro perspective, starting from today, Ming Dynasty can be called the starting point of the steam age.

This day will surely be remembered and written about!
It is not easy to build a steam engine in this day and age.

Even Mei Yin became stronger by feeding pigs and directly obtained the method of making a steam engine.

And the corresponding method of manufacturing steam locomotives,
But don’t forget that the Ming Dynasty at that time was not an era with particularly developed industry or a particularly complete industrial system.

Under such circumstances, even if he obtained the method to make the steam engine, it would not be easy to make it.

Many things need to be done manually.

Create something from nothing.

Fortunately, the methods provided by the system are complete enough.

Here in Mei Yin, continuous screening, high wages and emphasis on craftsmen have created a siphon effect.

By now, he has many skilled craftsmen.

There are many things that may not be possible if we ask them to create them.

But Mei Yin provided guidance and gave them clear requirements.

It is possible to let them make things of any quality and shape.

Finally, the steam engine was developed.

With the steam engine, this most core problem was solved.

Then, many of the following tools will be easier to make.

The Ming Dynasty had completely entered the steam age, and it was only a matter of time before numerous machines driven by steam engines could be developed.

In the future, many machines will be developed and put into use.

It was only a matter of time before profound improvements were made to the Ming Dynasty’s production relations, which would bring convenience to people’s lives and bring about earth-shaking changes.

Not to mention, this time he not only obtained the method of making the steam engine.

Moreover, the method of making steam locomotives was also obtained.

Now, the most difficult steam engine has been made.

Then, if we follow the steps below, it will only be a matter of time before the steam locomotive is developed.

We are one step closer to the dream of the Steam Ming Dynasty!
The Ming Dynasty has also come one step closer to becoming the strongest beacon of human civilization.

Li Jinglong knew that his second uncle was in a good mood.

But seeing my second uncle so happy facing this thing spinning in small circles was a bit puzzling.

He really didn't expect that his second uncle was a rather reserved person.

How can you laugh so loudly at this time?

My second uncle was able to make this thing spin by adding water and coal, which is really good.

But...but what does this mean?

Although it is relatively novel, if you turn it by hand, you can do it faster than this.

There is absolutely no need to be so happy!

This is the difference in vision and perspective.

After Mei Yin burst into laughter, he immediately told the people around him to observe carefully.

See what changes occur while the steam engine is running.

And record all the data.

In this way, we can find some problems next.

Find some areas for improvement.

Only in this way can the steam engine be further optimized in the future.

Make the steam engine more and more practical and easier to use.

Finally, it was possible to manufacture steam engines that were suitable for a variety of tools.

It’s a long way to go.

In this process, of course, Mei Yin cannot rely on his own efforts alone, but also needs to train many skilled craftsmen.

In this way, we can better deal with various situations.

“Jinglong, don’t underestimate this thing.

With this thing, I can also make a car that can move forward on its own without being pulled by oxen or horses."

After hearing what Mei Yin said, Li Jinglong was stunned for a moment.

Then they gathered around the steam engine and looked at it carefully.

"My second uncle meant that from now on, this thing should be installed in the front of the car.

Use it to drive the wheels of the car and move forward?
And then pull the carriage forward together? "

Hearing this, Mei Yin nodded and said, "Yes, Jinglong, that's it."

After hearing this, Li Jinglong looked at it carefully for a while.

Gradually, I became amazed.

"Second uncle, you are amazing, you were able to come up with this!

This is really the case!
With this thing for traction, we can indeed make a car that can move forward on its own without the need for oxen or horses to pull it.

This thing can actually be made by you, my second uncle.

Fortunately, I didn’t bet with my second uncle, otherwise, I would have lost miserably again this time! "

Li Jinglong spoke with admiration and a sense of relief.

I feel more and more that my previous decision was wise.

At the same time, he also became more certain in his heart that no matter what, he would never make a bet with his second uncle!

After all, my second uncle was really unexpected.

Even something like this can be produced.

However, while he was shocked, Li Jinglong was actually somewhat indifferent to the car that his second uncle made later.

It’s not that he looks down on it, but the inherent ideas are playing a role here.

He didn't think that a vehicle that didn't need to be pulled by oxen or horses could be any good.

It is even very likely that it is far slower than a cart pulled by oxen and horses.

After all, it seems that the wheel is not turning very fast.

And it's just such a small thing.

How much strength can you have?
Even if we can pull a cart in the future, how much can we pull?
It is very likely that he is not even as strong as a cow. However, these are just his thoughts.

I definitely wouldn't say it at this time and spoil the fun of my second uncle.

This is so out of place.

Li Jinglong has a very high emotional intelligence, so he would never do such a thing to spoil the mood.

……

"What? Mei Yin has already built the steam engine?!

Ha ha ha ha! "

In the Wuying Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang burst into hearty laughter.

Looks so happy!

……

"Sister! Sister! Let's go, let's go to Shuangshui Village quickly and see our good son-in-law!"

A moment later, Zhu Yuanzhang killed his way to Kunning Palace.

Before the people arrived, they were already very cheerful and greeted Queen Ma.

Let Queen Ma accompany him and go to Shuangshui Village quickly.

At this moment, he didn't want to wait any longer.

I just want to see the steam engine as soon as possible.

After all, he had truly felt how powerful the steam engine was in the simulator before!
How useful are the machines made with the steam engine as the core!
He had long been looking forward to Mei Yin being able to develop the steam engine as soon as possible.

At this moment, having received this accurate news, how can we not be happy and excited?
I really don't want to wait even a moment longer.

"What's wrong, Chongba? What did Xiao Yin do to make you so happy?"

Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked.

She knew her son Chongba's temperament too well.

If it weren’t for the kid Xiao Yin, he would have done some really great things.

Well at this time, no matter what, he would not call Xiao Yin a good son-in-law.

When there is something going on, he is called a good son-in-law, and when there is nothing going on, he is just called a bastard or something like that. She has long been accustomed to it.
At this time, Chongba was able to be so happy.

Something really good must have happened.

Otherwise, Chongba would never do this!

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Good stuff, it is indeed good stuff!"

As he spoke, he came close to Empress Ma and said in a low voice, "That boy has invented a steam engine.

Moreover, it has now passed the verification and confirmed that this thing is indeed more useful!"

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Empress Ma suddenly became excited.

I also understood why Chongba was so happy at this time.

It turned out that the steam engine was invented!

If it was a steam engine, then this would make sense.

After all, Chongba has already used the simulator and clearly knows how powerful and important this steam engine is!
"Okay! Okay! Let's go now!"

Queen Ma also quickly agreed.

He was also very happy about this matter.

Because she also wanted to see what that special and magical steam engine looked like.

Then look at your good son-in-law, a great contributor!

At that moment, he and Zhu Yuanzhang quickly packed up and left the palace towards Shuangshui Village.

After arriving at Shuangshui Village, Zhu Yuanzhang learned that Mei Yin was in the factory. Without hesitation, he took Queen Ma directly to Mei Yin's factory.

The most important reason for coming to see Mei Yin this time was that I wanted to see the steam engine.

Now, Mei Yin is in the factory, so it is very likely that he is still debugging the steam engine there.

Or just start making steam trains.

So, it was just right for him to go there at this time.

Otherwise, I would have to come up with some reasons to tell Mei Yin that I wanted to go see the steam engine.

Instead, it seems troublesome.

……

"What is this?" Zhu Yuanzhang came to the Shuangshui factory without letting anyone speak to report.

Looking at the spinning steam engine, his whole expression seemed quite excited.

This thing is exactly the same as the steam engine made by Mei Yin that he saw in the simulator.

But even though I know it, I naturally cannot show it too obviously at this time.

He suppressed his curiosity and tried to appear calm as he looked at Mei Yin and asked her questions.

Only after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's voice did Mei Yin react.

When he turned around, he found that Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma had already arrived.

I don't know how long I stood here.

He immediately bowed to them and said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, when did you arrive?
This thing is a machine I made and I named it a steam engine.

It mainly uses coal to boil water to generate steam, which then drives the wheel to rotate, so it is named a steam engine. "

Mei Yin was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang and the others might not understand, so he explained it to them again in detail.

"Steam engine? What a good name!

What is the purpose of this thing? Just make it and let it spin in circles? "

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again, knowing the answer.

Mei Yin heard this and said, “Father-in-law, this is definitely not that simple.

I am planning to use this thing to make a car that can move forward automatically without the need for oxen and horses to pull it, but only by using coal and boiling water. "

Mei Yin explained to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After saying this, Mei Yin was already prepared to face Zhu Yuanzhang's ridicule or contempt.

After all, his behavior was absolutely outrageous in the eyes of people at that time.

Not to mention someone like Zhu Yuanzhang.

It will definitely be so.

However, what happened next was far beyond his expectations.

"So it has this function! This is a very good idea.

You work hard. If you can make such a car in the future, it will be of great use to our Ming Dynasty.

Then I will make you the Marquis of Shuangshui!"

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Mei Yin was stunned for a moment.

For a moment, I even doubted whether there was something wrong with my ears and whether I had heard it wrongly.

Why is Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction completely different from what I expected?
Old Zhu... didn't laugh at himself, nor did he think how unreliable his idea was?
He actually encouraged himself and even used the title of Marquis to paint a rosy picture for himself?

Old Zhu values ​​the Marquis very much.

Even though he had made such great contributions before, he never conferred the title of marquis on himself.

As a result, now, after listening to me talking about steam engines and steam locomotives, he actually wanted to take out the Marquis directly.

This made Mei Yin feel a little strange.

"Haha, okay, father-in-law, you have to keep your word.

I have decided to take this pair of water lords!"

Mei Yin agreed.

I thought to myself, it’s a good thing that I was given the title of marquis based on the place name.

If one were to be conferred a title of nobility based on merit, then maybe he would have to be conferred the title of Steam Engine Marquis?

This is a bit funny.

He did not think any further about Zhu Yuanzhang's current reaction.

I just feel that maybe people like Zhu Yuanzhang who conquered the world, sometimes have vision and mind that are really incomparable to ordinary people.
