Country and Beauty

"The steam engine has been successfully developed? Xie Fei stood up and asked excitedly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty. At noon today, Mr. Gong, Mr. Gong and a few other senior technicians produced the kind of steam engine that the Emperor had mentioned. "

Xie Fei said: "Go, we are going to the Institute of Martial Studies to take a look."

When Xie Fei found out that the steam engine was successfully made, he was so excited that he jumped quickly. It is no wonder that the emergence of the steam engine led to the industrial revolution, which brought Europe into the industrial age, and that the thermodynamics and institutional studies established with its development laid the foundation for the development of steam turbines and internal combustion engines; from then on, the history of modern China's humiliation was opened up.

When Xie Fei was establishing his country, he had thought of using science and technology to build up his country as the foundation. If a country wanted to flourish forever, just relying on the ability of a sovereign was not enough, human beings were not saints, they were experienced and experienced, often, most of the dynasties of China were because of the monarchs' unwisdom, treachery and power, imposing tyranny, then this dynasty would fall apart. If the rule of the next dynasty were to be ignorant and shut down (the Great Qing Empire was truly speechless), society would stagnate, and productivity would be low, then the Chinese nation would most likely be oppressed by the other powerful nations in the world.

That was why Xie Fei did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build a school, reform the situation of the Confucian Monarch, and develop a benign education system. At the same time, Xie Fei also wanted to continue developing and maintain the bloodlust in the bones of the Chinese nation. knew very well that after the Han people had experienced three times of the descent of the Divine State, coupled with the corrosion of Cheng Zhu's knowledge, their bloodshed had been completely wiped out, resulting in their fear for close combat as if they were tigers.

At this time, Institute of Martial Studies had already left the originally bloated body. Now, she was only responsible for R & D of high-technology products, sending the mature results down to the factories for mass production. This would not only save the Martial Arts Academy's expenses, but also increase the efficiency of research and development.

The emperor naturally had the image of an emperor, the imperial guards gong the way with their gongs and gongs, and the imperial carriage with Xie Fei and the three hundred to four hundred people walked majestically towards the Institute of Martial Studies.

Lieutenant Shi Yue couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, this subject has heard of roosters, hens, and reed chickens. But I don't know what kind of chicken this steam engine is."

Xie Fei almost burst out laughing when he heard Shi Yue's words. Xie Fei could only explain to him patiently. The steam engine is a reciprocating power machine that converts the energy of steam into mechanical work, not the kind of chicken that lays eggs. "

"Oh, I understand. Your Majesty is talking about instruments, right? That should be a steam device. " Shi Yue said in all seriousness.

Xie Fei shook his head, it seemed like it would take more than one or two days to change his mind.

In fact, the steam engine could not even be considered to have been developed by the Institute of Martial Studies, because they had the working principles and basic structure that Xie Fei had stolen from the later generations. Although it was not detailed and comprehensive enough, at least they had spent a lot less sweat and blood on it than Saverie and Newcomen. With Gong Shuxian in the lead, the Institute of Martial Studies's steam engine project department only created the steam engine according to Xie Fei's instructions.

When the Qin Army entered Chang An, most of the Huns had already disintegrated, only the Huyan led the families and families into the mansion, and over ten thousand people had died in there. From then on, the Huyan's mansion became a famous ghost house in the Chang'an City, and later on, Zhuge Mingyue brought a large number of outstanding craftsmen and technicians to work there. However, the outside world did not understand anything about this place, so when people appeared within a hundred steps of the mansion, they would all die mysteriously, so more and more people hid and hid when they saw this place. Later on, the people became more and more mysterious, until it almost reached the point where the color of their faces changed.

Xie Fei's carriage suddenly appeared here, and unexpectedly had an accident.

It was unknown where hundreds of citizens used their bodies to stop Xie Fei's car from entering the Evil House.

An old man over a hundred years old kneeled in front of Xie Fei's carriage and said, "Your Majesty, this place is a dangerous place. This commoner pleads with Your Majesty not to enter."

Ever since Xie Fei became the emperor, he gave them fields to live on, and also deducted their taxes, allowing them to live a good life. They were afraid that something bad might happen to Xie Fei, and if he did not become the emperor, they were afraid that their good days would go too far. The people were actually the simplest of creatures. Whoever could give them a bite to eat would be supported by them.

However, other than feeling happy, he also felt that it was difficult. He couldn't possibly tell the common people that he was in Institute of Martial Studies, if the secret of the Institute of Martial Studies didn't exist, then tomorrow morning, the secret of the Institute of Martial Studies headquarters would be known by the entire world.

They thought that Xie Fei had been bewitched by a treacherous official, and purposely lured Xie Fei here to place himself in danger. This time, the citizens were even more unwilling to leave, and upon hearing that the Emperor was determined to enter, many of them actually rushed towards the "Evil House", wanting to find a path for the Emperor.

Xie Fei had no choice but to return to the palace.

Xie Fei patiently waited for the sky to turn dark. After it got dark, Xie Fei snuck out of the palace like a thief in the night, wearing a set of clothes and a hood on his head, and walked towards the Institute of Martial Studies.

This time, Xie Fei came with ease. He and Shi Yue arrived at the entrance of the Institute of Martial Studies, Shi Yue looked at the tightly shut gate and was about to knock on it, but just as he was about to do so, the gate opened, and over ten Qin soldiers s rushed out from within. One of them knelt on the ground and greeted, "Greetings, your majesty!"

These soldiers seemed very reserved and excited.

Xie Fei then walked into the courtyard. After walking through a few houses, Xie Fei reached a big house. Before he walked in, he heard a series of explosions coming from inside.

"The emperor has arrived!" The Academy Officer shouted.

Inside the room, Gong Shuxian, Gan Xin and the rest of the technicians and technicians from the Institute of Martial Studies immediately kneeled on the ground and shouted, "Long live our Emperor!"

Xie Fei chuckled, then extended his hand to help Gong Shuxian up: "Everyone, stand up!"

To be honest, Xie Fei had definitely never seen a steam engine in his entire life before, he had only seen the structure and principles of a steam engine in the library, he had never seen anything like it in real life. Right now, what Xie Fei wanted Gong Shuxian to create was a steam engine with more than one capacity, there were three vats for this type of steam engine, and the high pressure steam coming out from the boiler would first be used to propel the first and smallest piston. As the piston begins to recede, a portion of the expanded steam is driven into the second cylinder to propel the piston, thus continuing to be used in the first cylinder to expand the steam. The third cylinder uses steam that expands in the second cylinder.

Xie Fei asked: How are the effects of this steam engine?

Gong Shuxian replied: "Reporting to the emperor, the operation of this steam engine is considered stable, it has been running continuously for six hours now, and the only downside is that this crank and gears have been worn out too badly, this official estimates that it will take at most five days for the crank to change."

Xie Fei nodded his head, "It's inevitable that the hardness of the gears, pistons, crank linkage, valve dispensing mechanism, speed regulating mechanism and flywheel are not up to standards yet. If you improve it a little, it should be possible, otherwise you will need to add more lubricant to the joint."

"Lubricating oil, what kind of oil is that?" Gong Shuxian asked.

Xie Fei knew a lot of things, but he really did not know what the composition of the oil was. thought that it should be refined from oil, but with their technology, they were not able to make the lubricant, so Xie Fei could only say: "I can filter out the clarifications for the Fierce Fire Oil."

But Xie Fei never thought that it was his unintentional words that allowed Gong Shuxian to produce a lubricant that was close to the finished product of the later generation.

Xie Fei said: "Alright, if you increase the size of this steam engine by ten times, you will be able to produce a steam engine."

Shi Yue was at a loss. He didn't understand why Xie Fei kept saying things he understood. Could it be that he had read too little? It seemed like he should work hard at studying in the future.

Gong Shuxian said: "Your majesty, it is possible to reconstruct a little, but this steam engine is too expensive, in order to create this steam engine, half of the Institute of Martial Studies's funds were used on it, because there is no money, many projects have stopped."

Xie Fei frowned and nodded his head, the finances were tight right now, there was no money left in the treasury, military expenses, education funds were of no less importance than scientific research funds, Xie Fei said: "Oh, so you don't have to worry about the money, later you can ask someone to go to our treasury to withdraw it."

Xie Fei's treasury, to put it bluntly, was also his private money. However, he understood very clearly that Xie Fei was actually very poor, as long as he had money in his treasury, other than the normal expenses for the imperial harem, would reward him with everything he had. Last time, in order to reward Wei Ning and his subordinates Xie Fei, he had ordered them to sell some imperial treasures.

Xie Fei said: "That's right, can we mass-produce this steam engine now?"

At this time, the Qin craftsman called out to the family, "Your Majesty, there are still many details to overcome for the steam engine. I think the steam engine owner can enter mass production in three months at most."

Xie Fei said: "No, it's still too long. I will only give you two months. If you have any difficulties, just mention them, but you have to make mature steam engines as soon as possible. Now, the train has arrived in front of you. And there are naval battleships that require extra power. The burden on you guys is not light! "

Gong Shuxian said to the group of researchers, "This subject will do my best to fulfill the mission entrusted to me by His Majesty!"

Xie Fei encouraged the technicians from the Institute of Martial Studies before returning.

Right now, Xie Fei was focusing on the construction of the rail line. It was only a matter of time before the steam engine appeared, if there was a train and there was no road, it would be a joke.

In Xie Fei's future plans, trains would be the main means of transportation in the Qin State, and every prefecture would have a railway link. For example, Ba Shu's grain, Qin Province's horse, Youzhou's fur, and the coastal fish specialties were all ways to earn money. Furthermore, railway transportation could not only reduce the cost of transportation, but also become an important financial source of the Qin State in the future.

As long as transport is convenient, business will only become more prosperous. The recovery of the Qin State would develop even more effectively.

Xie Fei wanted to connect Youzhou and Beiping County according to the later generation of the Beiping Railway. At the same time, the first thing that Xie Fei planned to do was to build a railway from Chang An to Tao Lin. Only the gold mine was available, and he would be able to use the peach forest's mineral resources rationally.

However, Xie Fei simultaneously thought that with the Qin State's current financial resources, it was impossible for him to support such a vast project. Thus, the only way to carry it out was to go through a gradual cycle.

Xie Fei planned to use the north, south, east and west main lines as the economic arteries, but he could never keep up with the changes in his plans. Before Xie Fei could even execute his artery plan, a bucket of cold water had already been poured on his head.
