Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

After some sighs, Emperor Chongzhen remembered the business: "Since Mr. Jinnige admires Wang Hua, I will order someone to bring him to the capital, so that he can come to the Royal Academy to study with peace of mind."

Xu Guangqi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Jinni Pavilion is over fifty years old at this time, I'm afraid it may not be able to support the capital."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "If you can't come, you can't come. I will send an imperial doctor there. If he can come, he will come. If he can't, let him translate it in Hangzhou. But these seven thousand western books, I will Get a copy for Xu Aiqing to come to the Royal Academy."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen ordered Wang Chengen behind him: "Write it down, and order Xu Xianchun to send someone to handle it later."

After Wang Chengen was supposed to do the same, they had already arrived at a courtyard quite far inside the Royal Academy, and there was still rumbling noises in the courtyard at this time.

Pushing the door and going in, Xu Guangqi turned around and asked Emperor Chongzhen to go in, pointed to a big machine in the courtyard that was rumbling and running, and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, this is the steam engine made by the ministers."

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen just waved his hand casually and ordered the people kneeling on the ground in the courtyard to get up, but he stared at the big guy without saying a word.

Even though she looks stupid, big and dark, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, she is more delicate and charming than a naked beauty.

Chapter 267 Blind Fudge (4 thousand words second update)

The machine in front of me is a compliment if it is described as stupid and black.

It seems that the whole machine is filled with the bear style that Emperor Chongzhen had seen countless times in later generations, rough, steel, and bulky, these are the key words used to describe this machine.

The raging flame in the furnace continuously boils the water in the boiler above into steam, and the steam drives a bearing on the top to reciprocate back and forth. Since there is no machine tool or machinery connected to it, the bare bearing looks quite Something sinister.

But no matter how ugly the machine was, it was the hope of Emperor Chongzhen.

As long as you have this thing, you can play more tricks based on this thing in the future.

For example, it is used for the bore drilling of firearms.

Before using human hands to eviscerate, it would take about ten days for a skilled worker to pull out a gun barrel.

But what about using this thing?

One person can look at many boilers, this is no problem.

Then many boilers can drill many gun bores at the same time.

And this thing doesn't know how tiring, as long as the drill bit is replaced in time, basically three people work in shifts, and many gun barrels can be drilled out in three to five days.

Especially the role of the train.

Regardless of how slow the fire head made now is, it is already the biggest advantage to be tireless and use no fodder.

Imagine that countless materials are transported to Liaodong by Thomas train day and night, and transported to any place that Ming wants to conquer. Since it saves people, horses and food, and it is still not restless, this advantage is enough to kill any Ming. People who are not used to it or the Emperor Chongzhen can't get used to it.

What's more, the steam engine can be used on ships after modification.

It is exciting to think about the indefatigable large ships carrying soldiers and supplies to the American continent to liberate the Yanhuang Miao people and drive away European and American ghosts and animals.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen became more excited the more he looked at this stupid, big, black and thick machine, and he didn't care that he was a novice in engineering and science, plus a novice in history and politics, so he simply asked Xu Guangqi said: "Xu Aiqing, what are the more difficult problems with this steam engine?"

Xu Guangqi bowed and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, the biggest problem with this machine at present is the airtightness. Due to the continuous air leakage, a lot of firewood and coal are wasted, and it is always shut down.

And the crankshaft used to drive other machinery always moves intermittently and slowly due to air leakage.

In fact, after solving this problem, this machine can be used in many places.It's just that there are still some problems with the material.

For example, if this machine is used to drill the barrel of a firearm, the life of the drill bit is not long, and it needs to be replaced in a day or two. "

Emperor Chongzhen hummed, but his excitement gradually recovered.

A scumbag like myself doesn't understand the knowledge of engineering and science at all, and doesn't understand the knowledge of steelmaking and iron making at all. Some of the knowledge I remember is also mentioned in the training materials for those traversers.

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen finally said: "What about the sealing issue? I have already mentioned it just now. Xu Aiqing may try it, anyway, she is not afraid of wasting it.

There is also the problem of materials, mainly on steel.

However, I thought I could try using blast furnaces to make iron and steel. "

As soon as Xu Guangqi heard the word blast furnace, he instinctively felt that the word was not simple, and asked at that time: "I don't know what your Majesty's blast furnace refers to?"

Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself, I know what's going on with the ass blast furnace—probably because the chimney of the furnace is particularly high.

After deliberating for a while, Emperor Chongzhen said, "I think there are actually only two key points in making iron or steel. One is temperature, and the other is impurities."

Well, what you said is really reasonable, and I know it too, okay?

Xu Guangqi groaned in his heart, bowed and said, "Your Majesty's words are true. It's just that I'm stupid. Although I know these two problems, I don't have any good ways to solve them. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself, I don't even know about it, but I have read the training materials for time travelers, and there are always some mentions in it.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Let's talk about the temperature first.

Xu Aiqing should know that the temperature of firewood is not as good as that of charcoal, and the temperature of charcoal is not as good as that of stone carbon.

I once read in a book that there is a kind of hard carbon that is harder than ordinary stone carbon, but it needs to be smelted before it can be used, and its fire is extremely poisonous. "

Xu Guangqi was very curious about where the Emperor Chongzhen read these books, so he bowed and asked, "Your Majesty Qizuo, I have an unfeeling request. Please accept it."

Emperor Chongzhen did not directly agree, but instead asked: "I don't know what Aiqing is asking for?"

Xu Guangqi bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I am very curious about the kind of hard carbon Your Majesty mentioned just now, but I have never seen any book mentioned it, so I want to ask Your Majesty to lend the book mentioned to Wei Chen." Take a look."

Emperor Chongzhen was rendered speechless by Xu Guangqi's few words.

This tells me where to find such a book.

Could it be that I told you that I lived near a coal mine when I was a child before crossing over, and knew that there was such a thing as reef carbon, with firepower as fierce as a dog, and even steel could be easily burned in red?

After deliberating for a while, Emperor Chongzhen said to Xu Guangqi: "Xu Aiqing really stopped me from asking.

When I was in Qiandi, I read some miscellaneous books.It's just that when I read books, I don't seek deep understanding, so I don't even remember the title of the book.

After I ascended the throne, I don't know where those books are, so it's not easy to find them. "

Seeing that his beard was completely white, Xu Guangqi, who can be said to have dedicated his life to the scientific research of the Ming Dynasty, looked extremely disappointed. Emperor Chongzhen couldn't bear to say: "Well, I remember what that kind of hard carbon looks like. It looks like, I will order everyone in the factory guard to search for it, and if you find it, you must get it for Xu Aiqing, okay?"

There is no other way around, and the book can't be borrowed, so we can only hope that Emperor Chongzhen will find this hard carbon.

Xu Guangqi had no choice but to bow and said: "My minister thanked His Majesty first."

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen nodding his head, Xu Guangqi continued: "Your Majesty just mentioned the issue of temperature and mentioned this kind of hard carbon, but I don't know what your Majesty thinks about the impurities in molten iron?"

Emperor Chongzhen was invigorated when he heard the words. I still know a little bit about this method of removing impurities.

How could such a pretentious opportunity be let go?

Emperor Chongzhen immediately said reservedly: "I think that all things are born and restrained by each other, since there are impurities in the molten iron, the impurities must come from the iron ore.
