The most arrogant in history

Ye Kun smiled and said:

"Designing a flour mill is a piece of cake. The key is that we are seriously short of steam engines. So I have not developed many supporting machines.

You guys increase the production of steam engines, and I will develop other supporting machinery."

Today's steam engines are qualified products, with an annual output of less than one thousand units.

It is only enough to drive the generator and some new product tests of cars and ships.

An annual output of one thousand units is not enough to equip new ships!

Even if he could produce 10,000 steam engines a year, it would only be a drop in the bucket for Ye Kun.

He Tiantian sighed and said, “Your Majesty, I think it’s very difficult to produce 10,000 steam engines a year.”

“With the development of technology and the advancement of science, it’s not difficult at all.”

Ye Kun encouraged everyone: "Many years ago, when coal was not yet used, Xiahou Chang had a stockpile of 100,000 catties of coal and was very proud of it. But today, the daily coal consumption in Zhuo County exceeds 200,000 catties!

Ordinary people all used coal stoves and coal for heating. Xiahou Chang at that time probably could not have imagined it even if he was beaten to death. "

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Don't laugh. Our current perspective is just like Xiahou Chang's back then. We can't see the huge changes brought about by technological development. You think steam engines are expensive, but in a few decades, ordinary people may be able to use steam engines or diesel engines in their homes."

Sun Yi's face twitched: "What can ordinary people do with steam engines and diesel engines?"

"If the diesel engine is miniaturized, it can be used to make a car. In the future, every family will have a car. At that time, people will drive when they go out, and it will be easy to travel a thousand miles a day."

"Haha, the emperor's words are getting more and more powerful. We are so excited." He Tiantian also laughed.

Ye Kun chuckled and took everyone to see the Telephone Research Institute.

The telephone has been built and the telephone lines have been installed, but they are not used.

This thing is so beyond imagination that Ye Kun must hold a press conference before using it.

However, Ye Kun’s phone was not as convenient as it is in later generations.

It consists of two large broadcasting equipment, one going back and forth.

The broadcast line can be extended to up to ten kilometers away.

There is also a switching center between the two parties on the call.

When making a phone call, Ye Kun would shout into the receiver: "Hello, hello, connect me to Sang Buyi's hotline."

The relay station is connected to Sang Buyi's special line, and the sound can be heard on the other side.

The telephone lines designed by He Tiantian are currently only used in the Science and Technology City Office, Ye Kunyu's study, the Imperial Palace, the lobby of the Nine Ministries, and the private residences of Sang Buzhi, Guan Bao Liu Ai, Tan Bamao and the ministers of the Nine Ministries.

In this way, if any emergency occurs, Ye Kun can contact Sang Buzhi, Tan Bamao and others in the middle of the night.

In the Telephone Research Institute, Ye Kun tried the phone and felt it was OK, so he told He Tiantian:

"Immediately arrange for professionals to bring equipment and connect all the scheduled calls. Tomorrow morning, I want everyone to experience the convenience of the telephone."

He Tiantian nodded and sent technicians to install and debug the equipment.

Ye Kun then said to He Tiantian and others:

"There is also a very powerful thing called a mobile phone, also known as a wireless phone, which can transmit sound over thousands of miles. If we can develop this thing, it means that we have entered the high-tech era."

He Tiantian asked: "Your Majesty, is there any hope that we can develop a wireless phone in this lifetime?"

"There is still hope, because the development of science and technology is getting faster and faster." Ye Kun nodded and asked, "How many people are there in the Telephone and Radio Research Institute now?"

"One hundred people for telephone and radio research, and one hundred for radio."

Ye Kun gave instructions: "We can also recruit some talents and expand the scale. With more people, we can do more experiments, brainstorm, and explore the correct scientific and technological direction. For many things, we can only keep trying and making mistakes and keep summarizing in this way."

The steam engine in history was invented by Watt.

Watt fought almost alone, and his path in scientific research was extremely difficult.

But in today's science and technology city, there are hundreds of technicians responsible for researching steam engines, which is equivalent to hundreds of watts.

Moreover, Ye Kun concentrated the whole country's strength to carry out scientific research, regardless of the cost, and gave the green light all the way. The resources he mobilized were completely different from those of Watt's single-handed efforts.

In addition, Ye Kun has mastered the cutting-edge technology of later generations, so he is much better than Watley in developing technological products.

The same is true of radio technology in history, which is the result of long-term exploration by our predecessors.

Ye Kun started using it right away, leveraging national resources to develop it fully, so the progress was naturally very fast.

Ye Kun is not a professional in radio technology, but there are hundreds of people researching it in the science and technology city, so there will be a breakthrough sooner or later.

Next, Ye Kun inspected the Chemical Research Institute, Glass Research Institute, and Test Instrument Research Institute...

Until midnight, Ye Kun was still in the office in Science and Technology City, meeting with everyone.

Bingbing and Moli came over and urged Ye Kun to rest.

Ye Kun nodded and put down the documents in his hand: "Tomorrow morning, everyone will follow me to the Imperial City to witness the use of the phone together."

That night, Ye Kun rested in the Science and Technology City.

Bingbing took care of Ye Kun and smiled softly:

"Your Majesty, General Cherry has selected twelve young girls from Wu County, all of whom are beautiful women who can sing and dance, and sent them to our theater for your training."

"What do you mean Cherry? Do you want to tire me to death?"

Ye Kun stroked Bingbing's long hair and smiled, "I'm old and no longer interested in beauties. You should keep these twelve beauties in the theater and train them slowly."

Bingbing smiled and said, "These are all stunning women from the Jiangnan water town. Your Majesty, don't you even take a look at them?"

"Take a look, I'm afraid I'll get upset."

Ye Kun shook his head and sighed, "There are too many government affairs all over the country. I am so busy that I don't have time to think about anything else. Tell Yingtao to stop doing these things and focus on developing literature and art to entertain the people."

Bingbing nodded, hugged Ye Kun, and fell asleep together.

The next day, Ye Kun slept in, got up after sunrise, and returned to the imperial city.

The phone is already equipped.

A special telephone room was set up in the imperial study to store equipment.

The equipment is huge, like a wardrobe.

Ye Kun took nine ministers to visit the telephone room.

Sang Buyi didn't believe it and frowned, "Your Majesty, can these two large cabinets directly communicate with people ten miles away?"

Ye Kun smiled and called into the microphone, "Hello, this is the Imperial Study in the Imperial City. Please ask the operator to connect me to the private residence of Lord Sang Buyi."

The operator's voice came: "Received, Imperial Study in the Imperial City, connecting to Sang Buyi's private residence, please wait."

A moment later, the voice of Sang Buyi's wife came from the receiver: "Your Majesty, this is Sang Buyi's private residence. Excuse me, Your Majesty, can you hear me?"

Sang Buyi was shocked: "How did my wife's voice come over here?"

Ye Kun smiled evilly and said, "Sir Sang, you will be working in the lobby of the Nine Departments in the future. If you miss your wife, you can call her back to say hello."

Everyone laughed.

Sang Buyi's old face turned red, and he said with a folded hand: "Your Majesty, please don't joke..."

Ye Kun chuckled and said into the microphone: "Mrs. Sang, Lord Sang asks you, what socks did he wear last night?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then said, "Last night, Lord Sang was with Madam Song, not with me, so I don't know..."

Ma Zhao, Ye Qingyang and others all burst into laughter, covering their mouths and running out.

Sang Buyi's face turned even redder, and he shouted into the microphone, "Madam, please don't talk nonsense. The emperor is joking with you!"
