I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

Inside the Xianyang Industry Ministry.

In the tall factory building, various machines were placed in a somewhat messy manner, and the drawings hanging on the wall swayed gently in the dim light.

"Chief Engineer Cui, Chief Engineer Cui, good news!"

A craftsman, his face flushed and his eyes gleaming with excitement, came trotting over.

At this time, Cui Dayong was standing in the center of a laboratory filled with various experimental instruments and material samples. A group of focused researchers around him were having a heated discussion around a pile of resin materials of various shapes and colors.

Although they have spent a lot of time and energy on this and have made some progress, there is still a big gap compared to the ideal results they expected. The whole laboratory is filled with a slightly depressing atmosphere.

"What's wrong? Why are you so anxious? We're still doing research here. Please be quiet!"

Cui Dayong frowned, with a hint of blame in his eyes, and scolded in a low voice.

His face looked a little tired and haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, his hair was a little messy, and his originally neat work clothes were now covered with dust and stains.

The craftsman was running out of breath, his chest heaving violently, and it took him a while to recover.

He didn't take Cui Dayong's reprimand to heart at all. The excitement on his face was still strong and he shouted, "Chief Engineer Cui, the materials sent by His Majesty have arrived!"

"That thing called rubber has passed preliminary testing!"

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, and his eyes were full of irrepressible anticipation.

"Chief Engineer Cui, I'm sure this material is 100% acceptable!"

The confident promise of this experienced and prestigious old craftsman in the Ministry of Industry instantly gave Cui Dayong a strong hope.

Cui Dayong seemed to be injected with a powerful energy. His originally tired expression disappeared in an instant, replaced by extreme eagerness.

"Quick! Take me to see it!"

As he spoke, he took steps impatiently, with an undisguised tremor in his voice.

In this Ministry of Industry, no one understood the enormous potential of the steam engine more deeply than these craftsmen.

No one knows better than them that once these industrial machines are successfully put into operation, what kind of surging and earth-shaking waves will be set off on the vast land of the Tang Dynasty.

They knew that the mission they were shouldering was so heavy that it almost made them breathless.

In order to transform the research results of steam engines into practical applications as soon as possible and push the Tang Dynasty into a new era.

They resolutely took an extremely bold and risky move - mass production of steam engines that had not yet fully met the standards for commissioning.

They know better than anyone what disastrous consequences they will face if they ultimately fail.

Not only will all previous efforts and hard work be wasted and come to nothing, it may even bring immeasurable obstacles and losses to the development process of the Tang Dynasty.

But they still chose to give it a try. With the burning belief deep in their hearts and the persistent pursuit of success, they embarked on this difficult journey full of unknowns and risks without hesitation.

In fact, these craftsmen had no idea that Li Chengqian had already discovered the secret of their secret mass production of steam engines.

Not only did Li Chengqian not reprimand or stop their behavior, but he secretly increased their research budget and gave them greater support and encouragement.

Compared with the craftsmen, Li Chengqian was even more confident in the future prospects of the steam engine.
