Chapter 167: The first self-produced steam engine



"That\'s right, although the emperor announced the skills of cement and steelmaking to several noble families, the limestone for making cement is only found in Yizhou. Although the steel made with the advanced technology is better, it is still not as good as the steel produced in Yizhou." Cui Shao said, Cui also got the steelmaking skills, but the quality of the steel produced is obviously not as good as that sold in Yizhou. Iron and steel used in agricultural implements.

   "So, is Li Yin hiding something?" Lu guessed.

"Many people now speculate like this, but they are not sure. After all, the steel produced by this technique is obviously much stronger than before, and several companies have already united once. It is impossible to jointly put pressure on Li Yin again. The emperor will not say , Now that Li Yin has successfully taken charge of the army and has become a real vassal, who would dare to pull out his teeth." Cui Shaolian said with a beard.

  Lu Shi chuckled and said, "So they changed their strategy and tried to curry favor."

"Some small gentry are indeed like this, but other big gentry still can\'t bear this face for the time being, but they don\'t dare to offend Li Yin too much. After all, Li Yin\'s monopoly auction will make them suffer." Cui Shao smiled. Said: "This Li Yin really has the character of revenge."

  The two of them were talking when the butler hurried over. Said: "Master, His Highness Sixth Highness has sent someone to bring gifts."

  Lu Shi and Cui Shao were overjoyed when they heard the words. Said: "Let him in quickly!"

  After the notification, Rongda asked the accompanying servants to carry all the gifts, and entered Cui\'s residence together.

   "Rongda has met Cui Shizhong and Mrs. Lu. The lowly slaves are ordered by His Royal Highness and Princess to deliver the gift. This is the gift list. Please look over it to Cui Shizhong!" After seeing Cui Shao, Rongda bowed.

  Cui Shao took the gift list without looking at it. Instead, he said: "Excuse me!"

   Lu Shi asked, "How are your Highness and Concubine doing now?" When she said this, her eyes turned red. They only had a daughter like Cui Yingying, so there was no reason not to miss her.

  Rong Da bowed and replied: "Return to madam, now His Highness and the princess are well, and the princess asked the lowly slave to take the message. Let madame and Cui Shizhong not have to worry."

  Cui Shao saw that Lu Shi was about to cry, and comforted him: "Don\'t worry, now His Majesty has allowed the sixth prince to come to Chang\'an at will, and they can enter and leave Chang\'an at will when they feel homesick."

  Cui Shao hasn\'t told Lu Shi about this yet, but Lu Shi was pleasantly surprised when he heard the words: "Really!"

  Cui Shao nodded with a smile.

  Checking the gift list is correct, Rong Da said: "Cui Shizhong, the lowly slave is still waiting to rush back to Yizhou, so I won\'t stay any longer!"

   Cui Shao dared not neglect, this Rong Da was able to be sent to Chang\'an by Li Yin, he must be someone Li Yin trusted very much, even though he was just a servant. But like the **** next to Li Shimin, no one dared to offend. So he said: "Go slowly!"

  Rongda bowed and saluted, and left Cui Mansion with his family members, leaving Chang\'an City all the way, heading towards Yizhou.

At this time in Yizhou, Li Yin was watching Datang’s first self-produced steam engine in Taoyuan. Later, after transformation, the steam engine of the ship was successfully built.

The first steamship in China was built in the early 19th century. At that time, it was the time to learn western science and technology. In the Anqing Ordnance Institute, the steamship named Huanghu was officially launched. The counterfeit at that time was 8,000 taels of silver. , six knots per hour.

  The disc that Li Yin brought contained a video of the later simulated construction. After Du Pingzhi watched it more than ten times in a row, combined with the equipment provided by Li Yin, he finally successfully completed the design and construction.

"good!"

The steam engine in front of Li Yin is working, the connecting rod is constantly moving back and forth, and at the same time it is constantly rotating with the turbines on both sides. The materials used in this steam engine are all modern, and the design structure is the most advanced steam engine structure. He has reason to believe that, His first steamship was definitely faster than the Huanghu.

  The successful development of the steam engine excited the spirits of the craftsmen in Taoyuan. Du Zhiping burst into tears. After nearly a year, he finally researched this steam engine.

"Zhiping, you have done a great job!" Li Yin patted Du Zhiping on the shoulder. Among these inventions, the steam engine is undoubtedly the most difficult, and Li Yin directly asked him to develop a special steam steam engine installed on ships. This is not easy for the poor and white Tang Dynasty, who lacks scientific knowledge, "Tell me, what reward do you want!"

  Du Zhiping said: "Your Highness, I don\'t want any rewards, I just ask His Highness to fully support my research projects in the future."

  This request will be made even if Du Zhiping doesn\'t mention Li Yin. Facing this scientific madman, Li Yin said: "Don\'t worry, I will definitely support you with all my strength."

   But even if Du Zhiping didn’t want anything, Li Yin still rewarded him with five hundred taels of gold. After all, he still has a wife, and Li Yin had to let him not worry about material problems and concentrate on research.

The ship steam engine was successfully developed, and Li Yin asked Du Zhiping to participate in the construction of the steam ship. Based on the current number of Li Yin\'s shipyards, the construction of twenty steam ships can be started at the same time. These steam ships are all built in the style of treasure ships and belong to large hulls. , it will take at least half a year to build the first batch of ships.

Of this batch of ships, Li Yin intends to use ten of them as cargo ships to transport goods from the Great Tang Chamber of Commerce within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, while the other ten are used as warships. The artillery that Tong Yu is developing will be installed on both sides of these warships. After a calculation, if one cannon is placed every three meters, with the average length of a treasure ship of 120 meters, each side is enough to place forty cannons, and the two sides add up to 80 cannons. Such powerful firepower is enough Let the warships run amok on the ocean.

  The construction of steam ships was put on the agenda, and Li Min asked Tong Nian to increase investment in shipyards. Currently, there are ten large shipyards distributed in the Yangtze River Basin in Yizhou. Li Yin\'s request is to expand three times, and he can\'t wait to mine the wealth that is still buried in the ground and in the ocean.

  Tong Nian acted quickly after receiving Li Yin\'s order. Li Yin was not idle either. He brought a large amount of steamship materials and design drawings from modern times for the craftsmen to study. At the same time, he also brought a lot of navigation knowledge and some equipment, such as compass and binoculars.

  Of course, in order to speed up the construction of the ship, Li Yin did not forget to purchase some modern equipment to provide to the shipyard. After all, this tool is also a very important part.

   Scientific research, education. Agriculture and commerce are finally on the right track after a year of hard work by Li Yin, but Li Yin did not relax, because growth is always accompanied by labor pains, and he believes that there will only be more and more troubles in the future.

   It was another ten days, Rongda returned to the palace and saw a familiar building. He suddenly felt like he was at home.

   "Jin Steward!" Rong Da had just entered the door, when he met Jin Daqian who was in a hurry. The 20,000 mu of rice planted by Li Yin was being harvested, and he was going to go to the field to see how the work was going.

Seeing that it was Rong Da, Jin Daqian smiled and said: "I\'m back, go see Your Highness quickly. Tell Your Highness about Chang\'an, your boy is lucky, His Highness admires you very much, and said that he will let you be the deputy general manager." Woolen cloth!"

   "Really?" Rongda was stimulated too much this month, so he didn\'t say anything when he met Li Shimin. After returning like this, he was promoted, and he said, "Butler Jin. Thank you, Rongda, for your support!"

  Jin Daqian waved his hand and said: "Don\'t thank me, it\'s you who strives for success. You are the fastest learner among these servants. Go, I have something else to do. Come back tonight and let\'s drink some wine to celebrate with you."

   "Yes, Butler Jin!" Rong Da was moved.

  In the south courtyard, Li Yin was holding a horizontal knife, and said in his mouth: "Look at my 9981-style magic-sealing knife."

   Cui Yingying and Xiaocui stood by the pavilion in the garden, looking at Li Yin with admiration, their eyes were full of little stars.

Li Yin was lucky with one hand, raised the knife, slashed horizontally, vertically, jumped up, and retreated in one go. His movements were smooth. People in the Tang Dynasty were martial arts. Help guys mix together to exercise, this sword technique is not some ninety-nine and eighty-one-style magic-sealing sword, but it was taught to Li Yin by Yuan Tiangang.

At that time Li Yin was very excited and thought it was a secret peerless sword technique. Later Yuan Tiangang said slowly that it was just a kind of sword technique he practiced when he was young, and he didn\'t even have a name. Min\'s face played again.

In this era, all sword and gun techniques are kept secret. Li Yin used to be a libertine and did not learn a single move from his teacher. Since Yuan Tiangang is willing to hand it over to him, he will learn it. .

These days, the more Li Yin got in touch with these two Taoists, the more he felt that their conversations were ordinary and not as mysterious as he imagined. They just knew more about physiognomy and astronomy. The predictions mentioned are just based on the normal deduction of "Book of Changes". Although Li Yin can\'t understand it, he also feels that it is similar to those fortune-tellers.

  He was wielding a big knife, a maid came in and whispered something in Cui Yingying\'s ear, Cui Yingying said: "Your Highness, Rongda is back."

"Really? Let him in!" Li Yin stopped the magic-sealing sword technique, drew the sword into its sheath, Rongda\'s affairs in Chang\'an, long before he came back, he heard Su Morer\'s report, what happened to Rongda The work efficiency is very satisfactory.

   "The lowly slave Rong Da pays homage to His Highness!" Rong Da entered the South Courtyard and bowed.

  Li Yin said: "Excuse me, let me tell you about the situation in Chang\'an!" Su Morer\'s information was general and not so detailed, so he asked again.

  So Rongda told all the big and small things from entering Chang\'an to leaving Chang\'an, and also said that Li Shimin rewarded him with gold.

  Li Yin nodded, this Rongda is very honest, he can completely hide the matter of the one hundred taels of gold, but he did not expect him to say it outright.

Cui Yingying cared most about her parents. Rongda said that Cui Shao and Lu Shi were both in good health. When she missed Cui Yingying, Cui Yingying started to sob softly. She didn\'t stop crying until Li Yin promised her to go back to Chang\'an for the New Year. for laughing.
