Time Travel: The First Female Imperial Teacher of the Qin Dynasty

"I..." Lin Anlan hesitated.

"Hurry up and tell me." Ying Zheng urged.

"Okay." Lin Anlan was helpless. He knew he couldn't hide it anymore.

"Actually, I thought of something." Lin Anlan spoke slowly.

"What is that?" everyone was curious.

"A cup." Lin Anlan took out a transparent cup and placed it on the table.

"Cup?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Not bad." Lin Anlan nodded, then plugged a wooden cork into the mouth of the cup.

"Do you know what this is?" Lin Anlan asked.

"I don't know." Everyone shook their heads.

"This is called a vacuum state," Lin Anlan explained.

"Vacuum state?" everyone was puzzled.

"To put it simply, the air in the cup has been completely sucked out, leaving only an empty shell," Lin Anlan explained.

"Empty shell?" Everyone was even more confused.

"Yes." Lin Anlan nodded, then stood up and walked to the center of the tent.

He held the cup in his right hand and a wooden cork in his left hand, then suddenly inserted the cork into the cup.

Whoosh!

The cup flew out instantly, drew a graceful arc, and landed on the ground more than ten meters away.

"This……"

Looking at the cup in the distance, everyone was stunned.

"This is the vacuum state." Lin Anlan walked back and said with a smile.

"This..." Everyone was still in shock.

"An Lan, what is the significance of your experiment?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Yes!" Lin Anlan said solemnly, "We can use this principle to create a means of transportation."

"What means of transportation?" Ying Zheng was curious.

"Train!" Lin Anlan spat out two words.

"Train?" everyone was puzzled.

"The train is a steel behemoth that uses the principle of a steam engine, burning coal to generate steam, which then pushes the vehicle forward," Lin Anlan explained.

"The principle of the steam engine?" Zhang Han frowned.

"Not bad." Lin Anlan nodded, and then explained the working principle of the steam engine in detail.

After listening to Lin Anlan's explanation, everyone was stunned, their eyes filled with shock.

"This..." Zhang Han opened his mouth wide, "This is totally unheard of."

"Yeah, this is too incredible." Meng Wu was also shocked.

"An Lan, what you mean is that as long as we have a steam engine, we can make a train and transport food and grass?" Ying Zheng reacted.

"Yes." Lin Anlan nodded. "The train is very fast, faster than cavalry. It only takes a day to get from the grassland to Xianyang City."

"Oh my God?" Ying Zheng was shocked.

"Yes." Lin Anlan nodded, "And the transport capacity is very large, more than ten times larger than a horse-drawn carriage."

"Ten times?" Everyone gasped.

"That's right." Lin Anlan nodded. "With the train, our Great Qin army can be quickly mobilized and food and grass can be quickly transported. By then, let alone the Huns, even the barbarians in the north can be easily wiped out."

"Okay!" Ying Zheng slammed the table and stood up. "An Lan, you must build the train as soon as possible. I want to see how powerful it is."

"Your Majesty, building trains requires a lot of steel." Lin Anlan said.

"No problem." Ying Zheng agreed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Anlan expressed gratitude.

"An Lan, how many people do you need?" Ying Zheng asked.

"I need more manpower this time." Lin Anlan pondered for a moment, "At least 5,000 people."

"Five thousand people?" Ying Zheng frowned.

"Yes." Lin Anlan nodded, "This is still the first batch, and it will gradually increase in the future."

"So many?" Ying Zheng was surprised.

"Yeah." Lin Anlan nodded, "Because the train needs to lay tracks, it will take a lot of manpower."

"Railroad tracks?" Ying Zheng was puzzled.

"It's the track for transport vehicles." Lin Anlan explained.

"So that's how it is." Ying Zheng suddenly realized.

That night, Lin Anlan handed the drawings of the steam engine to Zhang Han and asked him to take them to the Shaofu to ask craftsmen to build it together.

"General Zhang, there are two requirements for the steam engine." Lin Anlan said solemnly.

"Which two requests?" Zhang Han asked.

"First, we need to be safe." Lin Anlan said solemnly, "The steam engine uses steam power. Once it explodes, the entire vehicle will be destroyed."

"Second, there must be power." Lin Anlan continued, "The power of a steam engine is steam. The stronger the power of the steam, the faster the vehicle will go."

"I understand." Zhang Han nodded.

"General Zhang, don't worry about failure." Lin Anlan patted Zhang Han on the shoulder, "We are not alone. We have the entire Qin State as our backing."

"Yeah." Zhang Han nodded vigorously.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for your good news." Lin Anlan said with a smile.

"I'll take my leave." Zhang Han bowed and turned to leave the tent.

"Anlan, are you sure this steam engine can succeed?" Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan.

"It should be fine." Lin Anlan nodded, "But it will take time."

"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded, "I look forward to you building a steam locomotive."

"Don't worry, I will." Lin Anlan smiled, with strong confidence in his eyes.

"Okay." Ying Zheng laughed, "Then we can ride on a steam locomotive and tour the entire Qin Dynasty."

"Inspect the entire Daqin?" Lin Anlan was stunned.

"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded. "Once the steam locomotive is built, the army of our Great Qin will be able to be quickly mobilized and food and grass will be transported quickly. By then, the territory of our Great Qin will be infinitely expanded."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Lin Anlan bowed quickly.

"Okay, go down and have a rest." Ying Zheng waved his hand.

"I'll take my leave." Lin Anlan bowed, turned around and walked out of the tent.

Looking at Lin Anlan's receding back, Ying Zheng murmured to himself: "Steam engine, steam locomotive... This world is becoming more and more interesting."

At night, there are stars.

Ying Zheng stood outside the big tent, looking up at the starry sky.

"Father, did you see this?" Ying Zheng murmured, "This Great Qin will be your Great Qin, and also my Great Qin."

……

Early the next morning.

Ying Zheng convened a court meeting.

"My dear ministers, Mr. Lin proposed an idea yesterday, and I would like to hear your opinions." Ying Zheng sat on the dragon throne and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Lin's idea must be a brilliant plan." Li Si spoke first.

"That's right." Meng Wu nodded. "Mr. Lin is a god. His ideas will surely make our Great Qin even stronger."

"Your Majesty, I second the motion." Wang Jian also spoke.

"Yeah." Ying Zheng nodded, then turned to look at Meng Tian, ​​"Lord Meng, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I think Mr. Lin's idea is feasible." Meng Tian said with a fist.

"Okay." Ying Zheng nodded and stood up.
