Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

After playing the game for a while, Qi Cheng slowly fell asleep and the sky became dark. There was no light until after six o'clock in the evening, which made the people waiting a little anxious.

People should have been drawn at this time a few days ago.

It was not until after eight o'clock in the evening that Qi Cheng got up from the bed in a daze. He found something to eat and asked the system to start recruiting people.

After finishing, he still wanted to continue sleeping.

"Changsun Wuji of the Tang Dynasty."

Changsun Wuji, who was chosen, was also shocked. Seeing Qi Cheng on the sky screen had already started to look up information, he felt a little confused about whether he should ask about his family affairs.

Or the later history of the Tang Dynasty.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Changsun Wuji asked, "Host, you mentioned this morning that there was a steam engine car in the Qing Dynasty. I wonder if it could be built in the Tang Dynasty, or if it was still limited by the lack of materials and fuel."

The ancients who were interested in cars stared at the sky with burning eyes, hoping that Qi Cheng could explain it more clearly.

It's about technology again.

Qi Cheng glanced at the historical data he had found about the Tang Dynasty and explained, "The materials and fuel I'm talking about are referring to my car. If it's a steam engine car..."

"Actually, you don't have to focus on making cars. If you can make a steam engine, it will be much more useful than a car. After all, it is the symbol of the First Industrial Revolution."

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin with some doubt, after all, the word "revolution" was included here.

"The First Industrial Revolution? Then this steam engine should be quite powerful. If the Tang Dynasty can make it, it should be able to easily crush the surrounding forces."

Li Shimin asked everyone to watch carefully, and he would reward handsomely whoever could do it.

Qi Cheng continued, "The fuel for a steam engine is quite simple; coal will do. During the Tang Dynasty, it was probably impossible to dig underground coal, but there were some open-pit coal mines that could be mined."

"But it still needs some seals, which is quite challenging for you. Rubber trees are mainly found in Southeast Asia, and your navigation skills aren't up to par."

"But I've read that there's a kind of rubber grass that can be used as a substitute. It's mainly distributed in the Western Regions and should also be found near the Tianshan Mountains. You can give it a try."

Qi Cheng found a few videos of steam engines and played them for them, and also showed them the complete drawings. He believed that the smart people in ancient times would be able to understand them.

Li Shimin asked the people below if they understood, is this steam engine really that powerful?

Of course, several ministers who were obsessed with literature did not quite understand it, but the Tang Dynasty was full of talented people, and there were still a few people who understood what was going on. This steam engine was indeed powerful and could replace human work.

"Your Majesty, if there were steam engines, they could be used to do tasks that are difficult to accomplish with human power. Furthermore, the earliest trains were also powered by steam engines."

"It will be much easier to deploy troops to the border in the future."

Li Shimin nodded and asked Zhangsun Wuji to gather people and find a way to make it.

Song Dynasty

After the Battle of Axe and Candle, Zhao Er, who had already sat on the throne, was also very interested in steam engines, but he had no way of obtaining some of the materials mentioned above.

The Tianshan area is indeed the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but it is quite far from the territory of the Song Dynasty. As for finding rubber trees in Southeast Asia, it is also full of difficulties.

But this steam engine must be developed.

He just didn't believe that there were no suitable seals locally.

"I will issue an order to all the skilled craftsmen in the country to come here. If anyone can build a steam engine, I will reward him with ten thousand taels of silver."

Ming Dynasty

Zhu Di was determined to obtain the steam engine because it was invented by foreign countries only a few hundred years ago, and during this period Zheng He had already sent back some information from the West.

He felt that Western technology was still somewhat behind that of the Ming Dynasty.

In order to prepare for future development, he specifically asked Zheng He to contact some foreign scientists to see if he could recruit them back, as one can learn from others' experience.

"Father, this steam engine is very useful, but the information on the sky screen also mentions water-driven machinery. I think this is easier. Why not have the craftsmen quickly build a batch?"

Zhu Di wanted to achieve the goal in one go, but since the prince proposed it, he agreed.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the recorded information carefully and asked his subordinates to find a place quickly and build this thing within one or two months.

By then, I will surpass the second and third ones.

Qing Dynasty

Qianlong threw the cup in his hand again, because the information on the sky curtain mentioned several times that his lack of attention to science and technology led to the humiliation of the late Qing Dynasty.

He also mentioned that Western envoys brought steam engines and clocks, but he was not interested in these things. Instead, he was very interested in whether they would kneel down.

However, if Western technology is introduced, the people will definitely know a lot of things. Wouldn't this undermine the foundation of the Qing Dynasty? At that time, the Han people will definitely rebel.

There is no hope of peace in the court.

"Damn it!" Qianlong threw another enameled pot. "Haven't these ministers finished their discussion yet? All they do is drink tea all day long. If there are no rules, they'll never be able to drink tea again in their lifetime."

The cabinet ministers discussed the matter for a long time, but in the end no one dared to act on their own and could only submit their reports and wait for the emperor's decision.

Qianlong was extremely angry, but he did not dare to agree just like that.

"Send someone to ask for the price."

While these dynasties were busy, the Mohist disciples of the Qin Dynasty also began to take action. After watching the documentary provided by Qi Cheng, they said that what Qi Cheng said was absolutely correct.

Not to mention the car that Qi Cheng has now, they can't even make this steam engine.

"Brother, where is Tianshan? That rubber grass looks no different from the dandelions here. Why don't our dandelions work?"

"The Tianshan Mountains are far away in the Western Regions. I think it's more reliable to go to Southeast Asia to look for rubber trees. I heard that they have already built ships that can go to sea."

Mo Bi studied the drawn drawings carefully. This thing looked quite simple, but the production was not that simple.

"I've already made an agreement with Juzi. In a few days, we'll form a joint expedition with other factions to go to the Western Regions to search for rubber grass and other species."

"There are actions by the Lingnan Legion in Southeast Asia."

Qi Cheng went to the kitchen to find a snack to eat, wondering which dynasty could successfully manufacture a steam engine. Theoretically, the Ming Dynasty was the most likely one.

After playing some more information on steam engines, Qi Cheng slowly drifted off to sleep. In his dream, steam engines were invented in every dynasty, and then railways were slowly built.

Various weapons and equipment are constantly being updated.

The great powers from Europe were defeated in Southeast Asia, and a century of humiliation disappeared.
