let go of that priestess

Ji Cheng turned off the steam engine for a while, he blinked and looked at Honglian: "You have been in a daze for a long time, what are you thinking?"

"Well, I just thought of something suddenly."

Honglian exhaled, calmed down, looked at Ji Cheng seriously and said, "Friend, I believe that the Damu Village you lead will be very powerful in the future!

Regardless of whether you have magic essence or not, whether or not you are magic essence beings, you will definitely be very powerful!

But, I'm a little worried... You, you must take care of the villagers!Or the new belief you mentioned before, let’s restrict it conceptually.

If someone with malicious intentions grasps this power and secretly develops it to a certain scale, the consequences will be disastrous..."

"Uh, you were thinking about this just now."

Ji Cheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The guns and gunpowder before are dangerous if they are controlled by villains?"

"Eh?" Hong Lian was taken aback for a moment, and then realized.

Indeed, guns and gunpowder are directly lethal and even more dangerous, so in fact the problem already exists.

It's only because I have a deep understanding this time that I suddenly have these feelings, and seeing the expression of my best friend——

"You already have a countermeasure?"

"Ang, yes, the formula of the gunpowder is kept strictly confidential by me and Hongdou, and the gunpowder formulated in the village is divided into production processes and handed over to different people.

The same is true for the steam engine. The casting molds we will make in the future are not just to create a highly specialized workshop.

Of course, the main role of the workshop is to quickly mass produce, control precision and quality, and this is just a side benefit. "

Ji Cheng paused and said, "Besides, I also know that these secrets cannot be kept forever, and someone will definitely find out, it's just a matter of time.

Even in the future, for engineers and specialized researchers in related industries, we will take the initiative to inform them of the principles and teach them to learn.

And until then, you will need to use the method of establishing a correct concept you just mentioned, as well as the law. "

"Law?" Honglian thought of the countries she had traveled to, and guessed, "Is it some rigid regulations that all subjects must abide by?"

"Well, that's about it."

Ji Cheng nodded: "So, from now on, the regulations of the village will be that, except for the military department, other villagers are not allowed to buy or possess guns and ammunition.

It is also not allowed to possess a series of dangerous goods identified by us, which must be added to the control list and supervised.

Then there are illegal modifications that prohibit some items, which of course will include what you just worried about, using steam engines to modify weapons. "

"Oh..." Honglian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "My dear friend, you have thought about everything in advance."

"Of course, these will be taken into consideration when deciding to merge the tribes in the future.

Some reasonable restraint is necessary, if it is too 'free', just wait for shooting every day.

When everyone's basic personal security is threatened, that is the real unfreedom. "

Ji Cheng curled his lips, "I won't create that kind of civilization."

"Eh, okay."

With these words from her best friend, Hong Lian felt much more at ease.

After she stopped worrying, her feelings of pity and excitement about the current performance of the steam engine prevailed.

"Best friend! The efficiency is only 20% now, let's work harder to make it even better! Hurry up, is there any way to improve it!?

Well, by the way, having said that, you said 20%, where does the wasted energy go?

As long as we figure this out, we can improve performance again, right? "

"Uh, yes, you already understand the meaning of energy conversion."

Ji Cheng nodded: "If it is in a perfect energy conversion state, it will not make a loud noise like just now, nor will it generate excess heat, which is still hot to the touch.

Sound, heat, are all forms of energy. "

"Oh, I don't know how it doesn't generate excess heat, but in terms of noise."

Honglian clapped her hands and said, "I know! I just need to continue to polish, come on and lubricate!"

"There are still more reasonable adjustments to the system structure and accuracy, but it's unnecessary."

Ji Cheng waved his hand: "With the current crude conditions, although there is still room for improvement, it is almost reaching the limit.

It is not cost-effective to improve performance, so let it be, anyway, it is an obsolete product for transition. "

"Ah..." Hong Lian's face froze: "Elimination."

"Look, look! I knew..."

Ji Cheng raised his eyebrows: "You only know a little bit about it, and you can't bear to see it mechanized in the factory.

So this thing must be eliminated as soon as possible!Cannot form dependence! "

"..."

After working hard for a while, Honglian took her gaze away from the steam engine and looked at Ji Cheng quietly: "What will be a better driving force in the future?"

"Electricity."

"Huh? Lightning?"

"No, it's alternating current, but lightning is also used to create a large number of strong magnets."

"Hey, isn't electricity different from electricity?"

"Of course, alternating current is a current that changes periodically in magnitude and direction. Periodicity means that it is like water waves, where the current floats back and forth.

And think about it, the lightning magic I taught you, the process of guiding the current direction, is there such a repetition? "

"Oh, yes, no!"

Honglian suddenly said: "Friend, you only let me control all the electrons to move in one direction."

"So, electricity is different from electricity, right?"

"I see...then why don't you use straight electricity in the future, instead of the alternating current like water waves you mentioned?"

"Hey~ Red Lotus."

Ji Cheng smiled and said, "Have you noticed that you are getting more and more studious?"

"Well, indeed, I'm inexplicably interested."

Guren thought for a while and said, "Uh, maybe it's because it has something to do with electricity.

Didn't you say that the more knowledge I accumulate and the more principles I understand, the more beneficial it will be for learning magic. "

She is now more and more verified this.

For example, in the process of manufacturing the steam engine, due to manufacturing needs, my best friend also let go of the weakened version of the 'blade' magic several times.

Although she knew that her best friend would not lie to her, and said that she must have learned it after reading it, but when she saw that he really performed it with ease, she still couldn't help but click her tongue.

A close friend can do this, the root of it is not only the abnormally powerful control of magic essence, but also his understanding of the essential principles.

The relevant knowledge of blade magic is, grinding wheel, sawing machine and so on.

Honglian thought about it, her eyes became firm, she raised her head and said seriously:

"My dear friend, I am not very proficient in lightning magic. I want to know more about electricity. Please teach me!"

"Okay, if you want to learn, of course I will teach you, but let's talk while we work."

Ji Cheng pointed to the steam engine and said, "We should dismantle this now and make molds for the parts.

With the standard parameters, the next step is much simpler, and it is no problem to teach you while working. "

"okay!"

Chapter 202 The Path of Explosive Growth of Civilization

The road from Damu Village to the new mine is also the first road opened up by Damu Village, and it has been built for a while now.

The blocking trees were cut down, the soil on the ground was compacted, and slopes and ditches were made on both sides to facilitate drainage in rainy days. Finally, gravel was sprinkled, and cement was pasted to pave the way.

Different from several simple post stations built casually on the side of the road, this road is extraordinarily 'exquisite', and even gave it a special name——

Civilization Road.

On Civilization Road, transport workers under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transport come and go every day.

Transport food and materials from Damu Village to the mine, and then bring back the ore excavated by the prospecting and mining team from the mine, and transport it to the iron factory in the village.

......

In the office on the east side of the Council Hall, Jiang Hongdou looked at the village's ever-increasing iron and stone reserves data, and also looked at a recent report on the village's additional expenditures, rubbing the space between his eyebrows.

Economic pressure, a little bigger...

Even though the practice of Sitianlun has been implemented, Jiang Hongdou is still a little flustered.

The expenses for mining iron ore excavated by the prospecting and mining team are borne by the village, and the ore excavated will not bring any economic benefits to the village.

This point, I thought of it when I communicated with Ji Cheng before, so I thought about it carefully for so long.

But in fact, it is not just the prospecting and mining team that needs the burden of the village.

The additional transportation work derived from this, the construction of civilized roads that allow steam trucks to run, the ironworks, workshops, and a series of expenses for later using iron ore to build weapons, equip the military department, and train the army, etc., all of these It's all the responsibility of the village!

It is necessary to promote the further development of the village's economy... Otherwise, even if it can be supported, it will be too extreme, and it will always feel bad.

But how to stimulate the village economy?

Yingying, Minister of Economic and Trade, was called just now, and the two discussed for a long time without any results.

The overall economy of the village has indeed been growing steadily, such as the number of cultivated fields increasing, such as the continuous expansion of breeding groups.

But this is the overall economy, not the available economy that the village can freely deploy.

The village is now gradually falling into a situation where the villagers are getting better and better food, better clothes, and more and more savings.

There are too many unused contribution points, and they cannot flow.

On the day of Ying Na and Porphyry's wedding, Ji Cheng talked about economic mobility.

Ying Ying understood, but apart from renting out wedding dresses, she really couldn't think of any other way to bring back more money...

Tuk Tuk.

There was a knock on the office door, and Jiang Hongdou came back to his senses.

"Come in."

"My lord, it's time to get off work."

"Ah... oh, well I see."

Jiang Hongdou stood up hesitantly, paused, put away all the documents on the table, and walked out of the office.

It is a rule to get off work on time. The main reason is that it doesn't seem to help if I continue to sit still, so I might as well ask him.

Back at Shenju, Ji Cheng was lying on the rocking chair humming a little song, Jiang Hongdou was startled when he saw it:

"Hey, you came back so early today? Don't you usually stay late doing castings with Guren?"

"Hmm~ because I'm done today."

Ji Cheng smiled and stood up, facing Jiang Hongdou and said:

"In addition to the steam engine, Guren and I have also completed the chassis, body, and tire casting.

Tomorrow, I will sort out the relevant drawings and instructions, and then I can start training the workshop workers and assembling the first steam wagon at the same time! "

"Ah! So fast!"

Hearing this news, he should be happy and excited, but Jiang Hongdou's exclamation was half worried.

The training of workshop workers will start tomorrow, and production will start after that, so the village will have an extra expense...

Ji Cheng noticed Jiang Hongdou's expression and blinked:

"What's wrong? It doesn't look like a surprise, but rather frightened."

"Oh...that's it."

Jiang Hongdou expressed his worries about the village's economy.
