Reborn Wu Dalang

This ship is small in size, far inferior to the big ships they have seen before!Moreover, this ship is extremely simple, and it is very different from those magnificent treasure ships.But at this moment, there are many people around here. Besides the workers, there are many people who are craftsmen from the Academy of Sciences, and the leader is actually Jinhu.

Jin Hu and those craftsmen were discussing and communicating constantly, and their faces were full of excitement.

"This ship seems to be different from the rest?" Li Shishi had a surprised expression in his eyes.

There is a huge boiler on the top of the ship, and boiling water vapor is constantly coming out of it.

She didn't know that the structure inside this ship was even more different from other ships!The above steam just overflowed due to unqualified sealing technology, and more steam rushed to the blades of the small disc-shaped wheel behind after being collected by the pipe. The wheel rotated, and the rotating axle drove the paddle wheel through the chain, making Ships can go!

That's right, this is the steam engine ship just developed by the Academy of Sciences and the shipyard!

Over the years, a group of people from Jinhu in the Academy of Sciences have been researching steam engines, and Daliang has also invested a lot of money in this project!In the past two years, the steam engine project has made great progress and is basically mature!After that, they cooperated with the shipyard to apply the steam engine to the ship, and only then did the first steam engine ship come into being.

Wu Dong came to Tianjin today just to see this steam engine ship!

"Your Majesty, this boat looks a bit crude." Ling Zhen said.

"It's okay, it will get better slowly, this steam engine technology has just been applied on the ship, as long as it can run it is considered good! Now try it in the water!" Wu Dong laughed.

It wasn't until this time that Jin Hu and the others discovered Wu Dong's arrival, and these people hurriedly bowed down to salute.

It was already dusk at this time, and the shipyard was right by the sea. With the help of many workers, the steam engine ship was finally launched.

Everyone had yearning expressions on their faces, Wu Dong said: "Let's go up!"

Ling Zhen was taken aback, and said: "Your Majesty, you should stay below, what if there is danger?"

Wu Dong shook his head with a smile, and said, "Don't worry! Let's go up and have a look!"

Wu Dong had already strode to the boat, and Li Shishi hesitated for a moment and also came to the boat.Wu Dong's guards boarded the boat with Wu Dong, and the guards all had nervous expressions on their faces. They looked at the big boiler on the ship, fearing that something might go wrong there.At this moment, even the people in the Academy of Sciences became a little nervous.

This boat is not very big, it can only accommodate dozens of people, and besides Wu Dong and others, half of them are researchers from the Academy of Sciences.

In addition to this steam engine ship, many other ships came to the front, and they were also afraid that something would go wrong here.

"Start!" Wu Dong said lightly.

The steam engine boat started slowly, the boat was not running very smoothly, but it was really moving and moving forward.

Those people from the Academy of Sciences showed ecstatic expressions on their faces, while Li Shishi said in disbelief: "Is this a ship that can move forward without manpower?"

Wu Dong nodded and said, "Yes!"

Li Shishi said: "Then what does it rely on to move forward?"

Wu Dong laughed and said, "I'll ask the people from the Academy of Sciences to explain the principle to you later!"

The speed of the steam engine ship gradually increased, and they could hear the rumbling sound of the machine on board. All the guards looked at the machine on the ship with horrified expressions, as if they were looking at a devil.

Wu Dong couldn't help thinking of the past events in history. When the steam engine ship first appeared in Europe, it also caused a burst of panic.Not long after the invention of the steam engine, Babein invented the steam engine boat. He drove the steam engine boat to swim in the Vienne River. A group of boatmen came. They thought the steam engine boat making strange noises was a devil, so they burned it with fire. steam ship.The reason why such things happen is because of the lack of knowledge of human beings.If it is a natural development in history, such a thing may happen in the future, but now, with the full support of the state, such a technology is developed. Although everyone is horrified, it will not burn the steam engine ship.

After half an hour, the boat stopped there as if it had lost all power.

"What happened?" Wu Dong asked hastily.

"Your Majesty, we have run out of coal! There is no extra coal on board!" Jin Hu trotted to report.

"It seems that the steam engine ship needs to control the amount of coal used in the future," Wu Dong said.

"Yes!" Jin Hu said with some shame.

"Fortunately, we still have other ships, we can go back." Wu Dong smiled.

The autumn night is already a bit cold, and it is impossible to spend the night on such a small boat.At that moment, Wu Dong and others came to the rest of the big ships and began to return to the shipyard.And the steam engine ship was also pulled back to the shipyard by other ships.

"Your Majesty, this steam engine ship is launched for the first time, and its speed is still too slow, far inferior to our treasure ship." The person in charge of the shipyard said.

"In time, my steam engine ship will definitely be able to catch up with those treasure ships." Jin Hu said with some stubbornness.

"This steam engine can be used not only on ships, but also on other machinery." Wu Dong said.

"Yes! It can also drive the wind wheel, drive... the carriage..." Jin Hu thought for a while and said.

"What other equipment can it be used for? Think about it carefully! In the future, Daliang will invest more money in this project, and we will let more craftsmen join the steam engine project! By the way, Ling Zhen, recently the Academy of Sciences Are there any other creative inventions?" Wu Dong said.

"Your Majesty, the Academy of Sciences has only made some basic theoretical research inventions recently... Then a novel invention will appear among the people." Ling Zhen said.

"Oh? What invention?" Wu Dong asked curiously.

"A big clock with a difference." Ling Zhen said.

At that moment Ling Zhen started talking in detail, and it was only after Wu Dong listened that he realized that what he was talking about was actually a clock.

Historically, during the Northern Song Dynasty, a water astronomical platform appeared in China, which could tell the time and ring the clock. Its structure is already similar to that of modern clocks, and it can be called the originator of clocks.It has an escapement inside, and later generations regard the escapement as the heart of the watch.When the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties were handed over, Chinese watch technology was introduced to Europe, and then European talents made real watches. In 1283, the first mechanical clock driven by weights appeared in a monastery in England.

Unexpectedly, similar big bells have appeared in the folks of China. Wu Dong was very shocked when he heard about it.

"China's science and technology are ahead of the world, but the Jurchens invaded the south and the Mongols invaded the south. Tens of millions of people were massacred. Appear in China first!" Wu Dong secretly said in his heart.

After thinking for a while, Wu Dong said, "Whether it's an invention of the Academy of Sciences or a folk invention, we should encourage and give rewards to those who are creative! After I go back, I will personally meet the inventor of this clock."

Ling Zhen nodded, he took Wu Dong's words to heart, and was going to let the inventor of the clock see Wu Dong as soon as he went back.

The progress in science and technology made Wu Dong very happy!Daliang ends the old dynasties and starts a new one. This is by no means a change of dynasties in the traditional sense. This includes changes in the national character of the entire nation, including changes in the political system, including the overall progress of science and technology!This change of dynasty is fundamentally different from the change of dynasties in history!

Of course, Wu Dong also knows that all reforms must be done with care, and they must not be rushed to prevent mistakes such as the "Great Leap Forward".
