Back to the Three Kingdoms and become a python

The steam engine will inevitably be replaced by a more advanced internal combustion engine. This is a historical process. Lin Bei originally thought it would take a long time, but when he saw this water pump, Lin Bei felt that this process might not take long.

Lin Bei didn't know how to make an internal combustion engine, but after seeing the water pump, Lin Bei could see a direction.

"Wood, seeing this way of drawing water, I suddenly thought of an idea, you can help me improve it, by the way, Zhao Gou, and you too." Lin Bei said.

Everyone nodded.

"I think everyone can see the advantages of this water pump. It can suck the water out of the deep well on flat ground. Zhao Gou has done a good job in this. I want to praise him." Lin Bei first praised Zhao Kuo, Then he said: "The disadvantage is that every time the water pump has to be pumped and drained, it has to be refilled with steam. The speed of pumping water is actually not fast, right?"

Mu Mu glanced at Zhao Gou, then nodded: "Yes, my lord, the water pump's water pumping speed is indeed not fast, it can't compare to overturning a car."

Zhao Gou also nodded honestly: "My lord is right, but my little one is convinced."

"Well, through this water pump, my lord thought of another way to draw water. Can I not add steam to the steel ball? Just heat the outside of the steel ball, will there be the same pumping effect? Water effect?"

Such heating can also form a vacuum in the steel ball, which will naturally have a water absorption effect, but the concept of vacuum has not yet been formed by the craftsmen, so Lin Bei needs to describe this concept in words.

The wood and the craftsmen around it thought about it carefully, but they didn't dare to be sure. Instead, they tested it immediately. The result was that it could absorb water just as Lin Bei said.

So Lin Bei said again: "This method has been proven to be feasible. In fact, it is called the vacuum theory. Whether it is using cold water to pour steam or heating the steel ball, the ultimate goal is to make the inside of the steel ball form a vacuum state. The external pressure is greater than the vacuum. The pressure inside is not so much that the steel ball absorbs water, it is better to say that the water automatically flows into the steel ball, do you understand?"

Lin Bei set aside time for the craftsmen to digest.Then he continued: "Now there is only one steel ball. Water absorption and water discharge will cause the vacuum state in the steel ball to form an equilibrium with the outside, so wood, can you add a few more steel balls, and then study it carefully, such as a steel ball. A special pipe is used to inject steam or heat, another steel ball is used to absorb water, and another steel ball is used to store the sucked water and facilitate the release of water, just like a steam engine. Let them absorb and discharge water all the time.”

The wood and the craftsmen thought for a while, and suddenly realized, and at the same time, their faces showed excitement. If this is really done, it will be like a car overturned, and water can be drawn from the well in an endless stream, because the water used is With the steam engine as the power, manpower is no longer needed.

"How about it. Have you thought about the benefits? In addition, this method can also be applied to steam cars. You know, suction is also a kind of power. As long as the power is enough, it can also make the car move like a steam car. Maybe It will also run faster than a steam car." Lin Bei concluded.

If the craftsmen can do it, it is almost considered to have made the internal combustion engine.Compared with the steam engine, the internal combustion engine has greater power and higher conversion efficiency, and at the same time, it can be used in a wider range of places.If the internal combustion engine can be perfected, even cars and airplanes of later generations can be made.

"This speed is simply too fast. This is against the sky. If you can make an airplane within ten years, what will you do in the future? Do you want to conquer the galaxy?" This picture is so beautiful, Lin Bei said that he could no longer imagine it. .

If there is an airplane, Lin Bei will be able to conquer the earth in less than a year. After 2000, Lin Bei can't even imagine how advanced the technological level will be.

"My lord, we will work hard to achieve what your lord said." Mu Mu nodded and said very excitedly. For these craftsmen, this is where their value can be reflected. As long as there is research Direction, they will be full of motivation.

"Well, work hard and make this water pump better first." Lin Bei instructed.

In the end, Lin Bei left the artisan's workshop satisfied. He was really satisfied. He could know the future development direction of technology, and the artisans followed his instructions to do it. This feeling of leading technology is really good.

"If electricity is manufactured again, it may not take 100 years, or it may only take a few decades to reach the level of technology at the beginning of the twelfth century."

That night, Lin Bei had no sleep.

On the second day, Lin Bei sent sergeants to bring Zhen Ping to the academy, and asked Bian Ji to arrange for Zhen Ping to teach the students. Through the reports of the sergeants, Lin Bei almost understood Zhen's business methods.

In fact, it is very simple for Zhen's to start a business. It is very similar to a mode of operation of modern chain stores. All of Zhen's businesses are located in big cities in some states and counties. The convenient transportation forms a unique news channel. Zhen's Commercial banks usually communicate with each other. If the price of grain in any state rises, the nearby Zhen's commercial firm can quickly transport the grain to grab extra wealth. Just like a snowball, the Zhen's commercial firm will grow bigger and bigger.

A large number of commercial firms is the foundation of the Zhen family in this era. Now the Zhen family is not only engaged in the rice business, but also involved in many other industries. The Zhen family is like a capital predator. As long as there is a cake of wealth, he will Take a bite.

However, the Zhen family is not without its shortcomings. The most obvious one is that he needs to rely on powerful princes, and he cannot be attached too conspicuously. For example, now that the Zhen family is funding Yuan Shao, Lin Bei knows it, but many heroes in the Central Plains do not. I know that the reason is that the Zhen family does not have a strong armed force. The heroes of the Central Plains need the financial resources of the Zhen family, but they have scruples about the financial resources of the Zhen family. The princes will not feel at ease, and may wipe out the Zhen family in minutes.

"Whether the Zhen family can continue depends on the attitude of those in power in the future. Perhaps this is why the Zhen family can't wait to place a bet." After thinking clearly, an idea came to Lin Bei's mind.

At noon, Zhen Ping came back from the academy, and Lin Bei called him into the City Lord's Mansion again.

"Shopkeeper Zhen, what do you think of Nanyue Academy?" Lin Bei asked with a smile.

"Your Excellency is amazing. You can know a thing or two just from the academy. Such a huge academy is indeed the largest in the Han Dynasty. But my lord, why are there still young girls among those children?" Zhen Ping asked strangely.

"What's the matter if there are girls?" Lin Bei said with a smile, "For my lord, there is no difference between men and women. They are all my lord's subjects. Women don't just stay at home and teach their children. For example, Cui Lan, Cui Lan is the original My lord's General Chen Long fought in all directions for my lord, and made great military exploits, such a woman is not inferior to most men in the world, Shopkeeper Zhen thinks so."

Thinking about Cui Lan, Zhen Ping had to admit that what this lord said was indeed correct. As for breaking the etiquette, this lord Dragon God can even appoint female generals, so it's not so surprising that girls go to school.

Afterwards, Lin Bei changed the subject and said, "After listening to what Shopkeeper Zhen said to those students today, my lord was also deeply moved."

Zhen Ping is not surprised, this is Lin Bei's territory, what lessons he taught, this adult will definitely know if he wants to know.

Lin Bei continued: "After listening to the words of shopkeeper Zhen, I know that it is indeed not a fluke that the Zhen family can have today. Now that the area controlled by my Dawei Dragon King Sect is increasing day by day, my lord has some ideas. Then What do you think about setting up some institutions in the cities under your jurisdiction, just like Zhen's firm?"

"Do you also do rice business?" Zhen Ping asked.

"For example, there is an institution, which I call a bank, so let's call it the Dragon God Bank. It is similar to a money bank. Each bank deposits a large amount of money and exchanges what is needed. If the common people deposit money in the bank in Wanghai City, go to the bank In the Longshen Bank in Jiangcheng, you can withdraw money at any time as long as you rely on the certificate, what do you think?"

After thinking for a while, Zhen Ping showed shock on his face, "My lord's method is very novel. If there is such a bank, it will be very convenient for merchants."

Zhen Ping keenly saw the benefits of this bank. For example, every time Zhen Shi came to look at the sea, he had to bring a large amount of red gold. A lot of guards will increase the cost of merchants in a disguised form. If there is a remote access function of the bank, then the number of people required for each merchant will be much smaller, and the longer the journey of merchants, the better for merchants bigger.

Lin Bei smiled in his heart: "Master Zhen thinks this method is feasible?"

"This method is very miraculous and indeed feasible. Zhen Ping is deeply impressed."

"Then shopkeeper Zhen, if you were to carry out this plan, would you be willing?" Lin Bei looked at Zhen Ping with piercing eyes.

"My lord, is this?" Zhen Ping asked in surprise.

"Just as you think, my lord wants to recruit you, because I think you are a talent, so I want to give you a chance, you can copy Zhen's successful experience in the city under the leadership of the Dawei Dragon King Sect , and then perfected by my lord."

Zhen Ping said with some trepidation: "Your Excellency loves you so much, but Zhen Ping..."

"Don't refuse in a hurry, think carefully. To be honest, you don't have to do this. My lord can just find some people to do it. Zhen Ping, this is an opportunity for you. My lord's goal is not It’s just the Central Plains, and there are countless foreign countries. The Dragon God Bank to be built will not only be dozens or hundreds, but tens of thousands. Your Zhen’s nearly a hundred commercial banks are actually not many. Not much." Lin Bei said frankly.

Zhen Ping couldn't say the words of refusal, he was thinking seriously, because as Lin Bei said, Lin Bei was giving him a chance, and it depended on whether he could seize this opportunity.

ps:...

Chapter 299 Desire to go to Xiangyang

In the end, Zhen Ping's answer to Lin Bei was that he had to think about it again, and Lin Bei could let him.

In fact, Zhen Ping really has a deep impression of Lin Bei, the Lord Dragon God, and he is also very optimistic about Lin Bei, but if he takes refuge in Lin Bei, Zhen's firm may have to abandon all of them and start over. This kind of thing is really not good. It's easy to make up your mind right away.

In the next few days, Lin Bei paid attention to the movements of the barbarian army.

The barbarian army has been resting and recuperating in the South Vietnam border. Although the princes of the Central Plains have paid attention to it, they always look down on it. Now the barbarian army has shown its ferocious fangs, which shocked the heroes of the Central Plains.

The three counties of Wuling County, Lingling County, and Linhe in Jingzhou were successively attacked by the barbarian army. The [-] former troops of the Changsha Army are majestic.

Sun Jian was shocked, and sent his eldest son, Sun Ce, back to Changsha to defend Changsha. Then he sent envoys to Liu Biao to make peace and resist the barbarians.

However, Liu Biao did not see Sun Jian's envoy at all. That night, the aristocratic family in Xiangyang City suddenly raised an uprising and opened the south gate of Xiangyang City to welcome Liu Biao. After a fierce battle, Sun Jian was defeated and left, but Sun Jian was extremely angry, so Before leaving, a big fire was lit, and most of Xiangyang City was burned down.

Sun Jian and Sun Ce retreated to Changsha at the same time. At this time, Sun Jian's army was only [-], and it was already very difficult to face the barbarian army. Then Sun Jian got the news that the barbarian army had a total of one million.

Liu Biao regained control of Xiangyang City, but most of Xiangyang City had been burned down, and it was almost in ruins. In addition, the barbarian army occupied three counties, Sun Jian occupied one county, and Yuan Shao occupied three counties.Although Liu Biao was called the Inspector of Jingzhou, at this time, Jiangxia County, Xiangyang City, and Yidu County were the only ones who could actually obey Liu Biao's orders.It is too far away from these three counties, and Liu Biao is simply out of reach.

As a result, the territory of Jingzhou has become a situation of four heroes fighting for hegemony, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the barbarian army is a fierce tiger, and Sun Jian, Liu Biao and Yuan Shaozhi are not even comparable to evil wolves. Tigers fight one or two, maybe they can kill the tigers.It's a pity that the three of them are not in the same mind, and Jingzhou will change hands sooner or later.

As guessed, Sun Jian was the first to withdraw from Jingzhou. Changsha City was overwhelmed by the barbarian army, and there were millions of troops. Sun Jian felt that the pressure was greater than that of the mountains. Originally, Sun Jian could rely on the city's solidity to defend for a few days, but As soon as I saw the siege equipment of the barbarian army.Sun Jian suddenly lost confidence, taking advantage of the fact that the barbarian army had not yet closed the siege.In the middle of the night, he broke out of Changsha City and crossed the river to Yuzhang in Xuzhou. The barbarians did not pursue him.
