God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 767 Building a Steam Engine

For dozens of days, the story of Li Chengqian's resurrection of Sun Simiao spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and people passed on Li Chengqian's miraculous skills.

Some people even regarded Li Chengqian as a god, and specially erected statues of gods, and there were statues of Li Chengqian everywhere in the Tang Dynasty.At the same time, he has also been worshiped by people's perfume, I am afraid that he is not a god, otherwise the incense will bring a lot of bonuses.

Li Shimin also sent someone to stop it, but they couldn't stop it.

It's not easy to take Li Chengqian's knife, because Li Chengqian didn't ask everyone to do it, but everyone organized it spontaneously.

Until the end, just let it go.

From this point, Li Chengqian said that he was very happy, but that was comparable to the existence of a great man.

But he still has to behave in front of Li Shimin, this is not the feeling I want.

Fortunately, Empress Changsun kept blowing beside Li Shimin, saying that the prince's is the emperor's, and the prince's goodness is also because of the emperor, otherwise the emperor might have to think too much.

Of course, Li Chengqian also hid his clumsiness at the right time, without making too much noise.

Sun Simiao also kept visiting the door in the recent period of time. It was Li Chengqian who gave him a second life.

On this day, Sun Simiao was in the East Palace discussing everything about life and medical treatment with Li Chengqian.

Suddenly Li Ke and Li Tai brought Lai Ji in to look for Li Chengqian.

"I've seen big brother!"

"See Your Royal Highness!"

The three saluted separately.

Sun Simiao also nodded to the three of them.

Li Chengqian looked at the three of them and asked, "What's the matter? Are you all coming to the East Palace today? What's the matter?"

One must know that at this time, Li Chengqian kept the three of them very busy in order to make the steam engine ready earlier.They should be in the Ministry of Science and Technology. Why did they come to the East Palace again?

"Brother, let Lai Ji talk about this!"

Li Ke said.

Lai Ji went out and said, "His Royal Highness, there are two pieces of news, one good and one bad."

"Let's talk about it first."

"Our steam engine has been built."

When he spoke, the expressions of Li Ke and Li Tai were excited.

Also proud.

At the same time, Li Chengqian was very shocked, how long it took them to make it.

Then there is the question of trains.

Once the heart part comes out, the next step is to improve, whether it is from the material or some structures, it must be continuously improved so that it can have greater explosive power and durability.

It can be said that when the steam engine appeared, Datang's tentacles would touch every corner of the world.

Li Tai also said:

"Yeah! Brother, all of this happened much faster than we thought. We thought it might take three months to create it!"

After he and Li Ke participated in the affairs of the Ministry of Science and Technology, they felt like they grew up overnight, and they became much more mature in their handling of things.

They were also called the second Li Chengqian by the ministers, and some people said good things in Li Shimin's ears, saying that they were similar to Li Shimin.

Li Ke said: "This is what we expected, but the quick result may not be good. Some problems arise directly, and these problems will be brought to Ji Daoming."

"Is it bad news?"

Laiji said: "Yes, Your Highness, the speed is too fast, and problems will follow. Other problems can be solved, but there is one problem that we still cannot solve."

"what is the problem?"

"The issue of airtightness, we have learned a lot of knowledge, but we can't find anything that can make the airtightness better in Datang. We have tried no less than a thousand things, but we can't refine it into what the book says Rubber. Due to the problem of air tightness, the steam engine cannot be driven well, and the energy loss is very large."

Natural rubber is produced from the rubber tree, a plant of the genus Hevea in the family Euphorbiaceae, native to the Amazon forest.Rubber trees are native to the western region of Mara Mountain in the Amazon River Basin in Brazil, mainly in Brazil, followed by Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Venezuela and Bolivia.

At this time, Datang couldn't touch the rubber at all.

If there is no rubber, the steam engine made is completely useless. If you can't find a substitute, it will be a waste of work.

No wonder the three of them came to look for him, they must have thought they had a solution.

Li Chengqian has a way, but this way is to exchange in the system.

But he won't do that, because the demand is tens of thousands, and he has to waste so many points for a steam engine?
This is not what he wants to do, what he wants to do is sustainable development.

Sun Simiao, who had been silent all this time, asked at this moment: "What is rubber?"

This problem is really hard to describe, especially for a Sun Simiao who doesn't know how to do it.

Li Chengqian said:
"How should I put it? Rubber is a kind of elastic substance, which has very strong ductility and is not easy to break. It is a kind of colloidal object. It can be used as a seal. If some jars containing food have rubber seals , the food inside can be stored for a longer time.”

That said, it is very clear.

Sun Simiao nodded, thought for a while, and then said:

"Oh? So it's this one. The old man knows that there is a plant that is a traditional Chinese medicine. Maybe it can be used!"

As soon as Sun Simiao's words came out, everyone was puzzled. How can you, a medical student, solve problems that even scientific researchers can't solve!
Li Ke first said: "Sun Zhenzhen, I am not questioning you, but medicine and science are two different things. How can Chinese medicine solve the problem of air tightness?"

This is the first reaction of people. In their opinion, Chinese medicine is Chinese medicine, how can it be used as a material?Besides, they tried so many things and they couldn't do it. How could he do it with a traditional Chinese medicine?

Li Tai also came out and said: "Yeah, this is not easy. Although we know that Sun Zhenzhen is dedicated to Datang, this is not a joke!"

Neither of them thought that Sun Simiao could solve the problem of air tightness, but Li Chengqian had a different idea. As the king of medicine, Sun Simiao naturally understood the properties of some medicines, just like rubber, which was also extracted from the rubber tree. of.

If so, maybe it is really possible.

Sun Simiao just smiled, and didn't argue with the two, because there was nothing to argue about, and he didn't know whether the thing worked or not, and he had to wait until the experiment to know.

After rebirth, Sun Simiao knew how to forbear, don't rush and don't rush, the way of nature.

"Don't talk about it, let Zhenren Sun tell me what kind of plant it is, I really want to know!"

Therefore, he took action to stop the two younger brothers.

The two didn't say anything more.

Sun Simiao nodded towards Li Chengqian and said three words.

As soon as these three words came out, everyone was amazed. Could it really work?
