Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Just as Zhao Ji became more satisfied with his work as he looked at it, he was about to return to the tunnel this afternoon and use this story to conquer Master Li.

Shen Kuo, who had not seen him for some time, found him again.

This time, Shen Kuo's arrival also brought a big surprise to Zhao Ji.

Shen Kuo successfully completed the task assigned to him by Zhao Ji before with the help of private blacksmiths.

The kind of cylinder now produced by the Ministry of Industry not only has very few bubbles, but is also smoother and unusually smooth inside.

The most important thing is that cylinders with this kind of technology can now be mass-produced.

In the past, it took several days or more than ten days to produce a relatively qualified cylinder.

And now?

In one day, dozens of them can be produced.

After Zhao Ji heard the news from Shen Kuo.

I was so excited that even the hand holding the pen started to tremble slightly.

Zhao Ji himself wanted to let Shen Kuo and his officials from the Ministry of Works build the tank now.

But then I thought again, although this kind of cylinder has already been built.

The principle of the steam engine is not difficult either.

But the application effect in this world was not obtained during the experiment.

If we now hurriedly order the officials of the Ministry of Industry to build the tank.

During the manufacturing process, many unexpected problems will inevitably arise.

But now, they still have a lot of time left for the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Ji wanted to make this process more refined.

First verify the feasibility of the steam engine providing kinetic energy in this era.

Then, step by step, the large steam engine was applied to the tank.

But this feasibility verification is also a question worth pondering.

If the thing that is made and has a verification effect is too big.

Then it will inevitably consume more time.

But what if we make a small mechanical tool to verify the feasibility of a steam engine?

Zhao Ji didn't know what to do for a while.

When he was confused in his heart, he unconsciously came to the window.

Looking out the window, the willow trees were swaying in the spring breeze.

Suddenly a thought suddenly entered his brain.

It made him feel happy and couldn't help laughing, so he spoke the name of something:

"Electric fan!"

"Yes, it's an electric fan!"

"Then the steam engine can provide power."

"Then it can also work on the blades of electric fans."

"In this case, since summer is coming soon, why don't I draw the drawing of the electric fan."

"How about trying to make that electric fan in one breath?"

"In this way, we can not only verify the power feasibility of the steam engine, but also use the electric fan to serve ourselves."

"Let me get a little coolness in the hot summer."

"You really kill two birds with one stone, kill two birds with one stone!"

Shen Kuo, standing aside, saw his master Zhao Ji being silent at first, and then surprised at the end.

Until now, he was shouting with excitement.

I was really frightened in my heart.

Unconsciously, he remembered that this official had suffered a head injury a few months ago.

Could it be that the injury on his head was not cured at first, and now it suddenly attacks?

If not, what is the explanation for the yelling at this moment?

The more Shen Kuo thought about it, the more scared he became.

Unconsciously, he took several steps back.

It wasn't until I retreated to the door that I felt a sense of peace in my heart.

After Zhao Ji got over his excitement, he saw Shen Kuo tremblingly retreating to the door.

Unconsciously, some doubts arose in my heart:

"Shen Aiqing, what do you want to do?"

Shen Kuo's face was complicated. After struggling for a long time, he finally said this:

"Wei Chen, Wei Chen saw that the official's expression was different. I am afraid that the hidden illness from long ago has occurred again."

"So, I thought, I would like to go to the imperial doctor's office and ask some imperial doctors to come and look at the doctor's illness."

After hearing this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Even if you want to reply, you are so sick!

But when I was thinking about it, I also felt that as Shen Kuo was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, it was not easy for him to study those things for him these days.

If you scold him again at this time, you will not be able to get through it both emotionally and rationally.

So Zhao Ji could only use a very kind face and kept persuading Shen Kuo:

"Shen Aiqing, I'm fine."

"Just now, I just thought of something very interesting."

"If you don't believe it, I will draw it for you now."

After Zhao Ji said this, he stopped talking to Shen Kuo.

He hurriedly took a few steps to the desk and put aside the summary of the story he had just written.

Then he took a piece of pure white rice paper and used the charcoal pen placed aside to draw a sketch of a fan powered by a steam engine.

Shen Kuo, who was standing at the door, saw that Zhao Ji had finally regained his former expression.

I couldn't help but feel that the timidity in my heart had disappeared a lot.

When he slowly walked to the desk, he saw what Zhao Ji had drawn on the rice paper.

The eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle more and more tightly.

My head was also in a mess.

Because Shen Kuo had never seen what Zhao Ji painted on the rice paper before.

Even if I listen, I haven’t heard it.

Seeing Zhao Ji, the drawings on the rice paper became more and more complex, and the drawings became more and more subtle.

Then Shen Kuo felt that the officials who were painting were really amazing.

Surprisingly, he is even more proficient in mechanical design than someone like him, whose ancestors have been thinking about these things for three generations.

Just when Shen Kuo was looking at the drawing and was in a daze.

Zhao Ji has already designed a fan powered by a steam engine.

At this moment, Shen Kuo standing opposite was stunned.

He then patted Shen Kuo's shoulder lightly and called out a few times:

"Shen Aiqing, Shen Aiqing?"

"After looking at it for so long, what do you understand?"

Until Zhao Ji pushed Shen Kuo several times.

Shen Kuo just came back to his senses with a jolt, as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Facing Zhao Ji's question, Shen Kuo looked extremely embarrassed:

"Let's go back to the official house, Wei Chen. Although Wei Chen just stared at this drawing for a long time."

"But I still haven't understood a single bit of the principles on this drawing."

"I hope the officials will forgive me and forgive me."

Compared with Shen Kuo's sincerity and fear, Zhao Ji's attitude at this time was quite generous.

After waving his hands slightly with a smile on his face, he spoke words of comfort:

"Shen Aiqing, you don't have to blame yourself."

"The things on this drawing were also thought of by me accidentally."

"And this kind of painting technique is not very common on the market."

"So Shen Aiqing, you can't understand the principle of this drawing, but it doesn't matter."
