Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Not to mention those that cannot be applied for the time being.

The springs are already being used.

And all of this.

Zhu Yunhuan didn't even intervene; they figured it out and discovered it all on their own.

The Ming Dynasty's technology tree...

It's sprouting more and more branches and growing more and more prosperous on its own!

"I have only just begun to speak..."

"Your Majesty, do you understand everything now?"

Seeing the surprised expression on Zhu Yunhuan's face, Qin Kui was shocked, but also somewhat accustomed to it.

After all, he had never seen the young emperor in front of him confused.

"Indeed! Even the Taoist priests of the Alchemy Department were taught the truths of heaven and earth by your Majesty. How could your Majesty not know anything?"

Qin Kui naturally felt relieved about this matter very quickly.

Zhu Yunhuan smiled faintly. "For something like a spring, the key is to bend easily. After all, springs have to go through repeated squeezing and releasing processes. High-carbon steel has high strength and hardness, but low plasticity, making it less susceptible to plastic deformation. Even with long use and repeated use, it can still maintain maximum elasticity. Using that batch of 'wasted' material would be the most suitable!"

"On the contrary, springs made of perfectly finished steel materials will undergo plastic deformation over time, and their elasticity will gradually decrease."

Zhu Yunhuan naturally had no difficulty in learning what he had learned in junior high school physics.

Qin Kui widened his eyes and took a deep breath.

He sighed, "Although I don't understand what Your Majesty is talking about, such as 'strength', 'hardness', and 'plastic deformation', but the things Your Majesty said that I do understand are indeed correct!"

He didn't understand anything else, but he knew best about the subsequent usage of springs made of different materials - it was exactly as His Majesty said!

"Your Majesty has never been to the Ministry of Works, and unlike me, you are not always staring at these things. It seems that you have a pair of eyes in the Ministry of Works."

"Everything is crystal clear!"

Even though Qin Kui already had some idea of ​​Zhu Yunhuan's abilities, his heart was still in turmoil because of them - he still couldn't estimate how much and how many extraordinary abilities were hidden under the young and handsome face of the young emperor in front of him!

Zhu Yunhuan smiled faintly and said, "It's not something too difficult or too profound."

Zhu Yunhuan naturally didn't think this was that magical.

It’s just the level of nine years of compulsory education.

Just the thought of something like "plastic deformation" or "elastic deformation" amazes even the most learned of our time. Even the concept of "speed," so commonplace yesterday, can cause communication difficulties.

Zhu Yunhuan narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself, "It is really necessary to systematically organize, disseminate and popularize this basic knowledge."

He could now visibly see the tree growing on its own.

And this growth.

It's just based on a mere alchemy department.

If these basic educations could be popularized... the Ming Dynasty would surely become a towering tree.

"Your Majesty, I am indeed too modest!" Qin Kui said immediately, his face serious and sincere, without any sign of action.

He truly felt that the young emperor in front of him was being too modest. He knew almost everything just by hearing a few words...

Could this be a simple thing?

The two men were at different heights and had seen different aspects of the world, so Zhu Yunhuan did not bother to argue with him about this matter.

His eyes fell on the small box in Qin Kui's hand with great interest.

Qin Kui immediately understood, lowered his head, held the small box in both hands and raised it above his head, while Ma Sanbao came over to take it away and handed it to Zhu Yunhuan.

Zhu Yunhuan opened the small box.

Inside was a small piece of spring. He picked it up and squeezed it a few times, clearly feeling the force between his fingers. Zhu Yunhuan smiled slightly, "This feels almost as good as a modern finished product."

After a pause, he tossed the spring back into the box. As if a thought suddenly occurred to him, his gaze fell on Qin Kui again. "But... the material you used to make this spring is steel scrapped from the Alchemy Department. This so-called 'scrap'... there's no guarantee we'll have it in the next batch, right?"

Qin Kui raised his head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty truly thinks everything through! I have come here, firstly, to present this little thing to Your Majesty as a treasure, and secondly, to assist the Taoist priests of the Alchemy Department in asking Your Majesty for advice on this matter."

"In the final analysis, the so-called 'waste' is an unintentional product that wasn't properly refined. The Taoist priests don't know what went wrong, but they accidentally created it. Asking them to refine another furnace of the same product... is really a bit difficult."

Zhu Yunhuan thought about it.

He immediately said, "When you have time, go to the Alchemy Department and tell them."

"The different properties of the steel produced are determined by the carbon content of the steel. Ask them to experiment by adjusting the amount of coke added, the amount of oxygen blown, and the furnace charge structure."

He knows the reason and principle behind it.

However, it was impossible for him to remember the specific data clearly.

Of course, Zhu Yunhuan was not panicked at all. The workers in the Alchemy Department were now a group of mature workers. Not only could they do their own work and research and invent things, but... the most important thing was.

I'll also give myself a good CPU.

When Qin Kui returns and relays his words...

Alchemy Department workers: Come on! This is a test from His Majesty to cultivate our thinking and awareness!
