Chapter 496

The roar of the machine is as sweet as beautiful music.

The combination of steam engine and drilling machine is a great power change for Dayu, but it is not enough for Xiao Ming, because a steam engine only drives a drilling machine, which is a huge waste of mechanical power.

In fact, in the industrial revolution, a steam engine is to drive multiple machines to move, which is the real value of the steam engine. If one machine drives several lathes to move, it is necessary to use the connecting rod and crankshaft perfectly.

So he said, "Lin Wentao, for Qingzhou, this is a great progress, but have you ever thought about letting a steam engine drive multiple machine tools? I remember telling you about the problem of connecting rod and crankshaft. One connecting rod and one crankshaft may be able to drive two, three or even four drilling machines. In this way, a workshop may only need four or five steam engines to drive hundreds of lathes. At the same time, it will greatly improve the utilization efficiency of steam engines. "

"Your Highness, Zhang Liu and I are considering this problem. Now Zhang Liu is studying how to let a crankshaft drive five drilling machines to work at the same time. If it is successful, we will continue to consider driving more machines. After all, there are a lot of Jeanine textile machines that your Highness has told us. If each machine needs a steam engine, our steam engine workshop will not be able to come over." Lin Wentao said seriously.

Xiao Ming nods. Lin Wentao has already worked hard in this area, and he is relieved. He doesn't want to make Europe surpass in industry in this time and space. At least in some areas, he wants to go ahead.

This time, he had an in-depth conversation with Claire in the city of geranja. Claire is still confident in the development of Europe, which shows that at least now Claire believes that they are still ahead.

"In this way, I can rest assured that you and Zhang Liu should speed up and let the steam engine drive the textile machine as soon as possible." Xiao Ming said, "the textile industry in Qingzhou depends on you."

When Lin Wentao heard the speech, he immediately felt that his burden was heavier. However, his only interest was to restore the magical machinery from books. He was full of interest.

After watching the drilling machine driven by the steam engine, Xiao Ming and his party went out of the workshop. The steam engine was just born, and further research still needs to be carried out. He also hopes to use the steam engine locomotive to connect the fiefdom.

Moreover, in order to really suppress the barbarians, this steam locomotive is also necessary, because in this way, he can transport his soldiers and supplies to the grassland through the steam locomotive, and the barbarians who have lost the advantage of cavalry mobility will always submit to him.

But now he can only think about these scenes. After all, it's just a huge project to build steam locomotives and rails. For this reason, he needs a lot of slaves as labor.

"The steam engine really opened my eyes. It is not inferior to what your highness said. If the steam engine is popularized in Fengguo, it will increase the productivity of Fengguo 100 times."

A group of people leisurely walking in the workshop outside the Xiaoqing River, Pang Yukun issued a exclamation.

Zhan Xingchang is also silent. The rapid changes in Qingzhou make him a little unprepared. Now he and Pang Yukun often go to the library of Bowen college to read books.

These books are all written down by Xiao Ming with one stroke and printed by the newspaper. From these government affairs books, they seem to have entered a new world.

Especially the knowledge of world geography in the library. For the first time, he realized that there was such a dangerous and powerful country outside Dayu. Dayu was just a corner of the world, and their vassal state was just a small point on the map.

Today, Xiao Ming was very happy about the steam engine. He said, "now you should understand how far behind Dayu has been? Now many western countries are still ahead of us. If we don't catch up, we will be beaten sooner or later. "

Pang Yukun looked dignified. He also read the map of the world in the library, and even marked the colonial scope of western countries in the world.

He said: "in the past, I didn't understand your Highness's painstaking efforts. I always thought that Dayu was the kingdom of heaven, which should be the grand scene of the coming Dynasty of all nations. But now I finally understand that I'm just a frog in the well. From then on, I will fully cooperate with your highness."

"So is my servant." Zhan Xingchang said.

Xiao Ming smiles. Pang Yukun is the first assistant of Fengguo. It's hard to turn his head around. With the outbreak of science and technology in Qingzhou, the government system of Fengguo must also adapt to the times.

Now Pang Yukun is at ease.

"Yes, you are not pedantic yet." Xiao Ming said with a faint smile.

Pang Yu Kun laughed awkwardly and said to Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, I don't know what you've seen in Ryukyu this time. I don't know if you can tell me."

Since contacting with the Dutch, Xiao Ming felt that it was necessary to popularize the current world knowledge in the officialdom to cope with the overseas trade of the vassal state, so while enjoying a river of spring water by the river, he told Pang Yukun and others about the Dutch and the war of the Japanese.

After listening to this, they all exclaimed frequently, which really opened their eyes.

After chatting by the river for a while, he saw that it was going to be late, so he and the others went back to the city and went back separately.In the palace, Fei yue'er has been waiting for Xiao Ming all afternoon.

At noon, she learned that Xiao Ming had entered the city, but he didn't come back until the evening.

"Your Highness, it must have been stopped by Pang Shoufu halfway." Fei yue'er looks at Xiao Ming angrily and dusts the dust off his cloak for him.

Xiao Ming's heart is warm when he sees Fei yue'er. His feeling of waiting for a good wife at home is subtle. He grabs Fei yue'er's little hand and says, "princess, do you miss me?"

Fei yue'er was half coquettish and half sulky and said, "no, it's good for your highness to go for two months."

"Ha ha ha..." Xiao Ming was amused by Fei yue'er's appearance. He took Fei yue'er into his arms and said, "I'm not going to Ryukyu in vain this time. I can bring back a lot of sugarcane this time. In the past two days, I'll let craftsmen boil white granulated sugar. With white granulated sugar, I can make hard sugar for you."

"White granulated sugar? What's hard candy? " Fei yue'er looks surprised.

Xiao Ming said with a smile, "don't worry, princess. You'll know in two days. It's delicious."

"Well, your highness, don't cheat me." Fei Yue er said.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly. Another harvest he got from Ryukyu this time is white granulated sugar.
