"Steam tractor?" Upon hearing this weird and new name, both Chu Suiliang and Li Chunfeng were shocked. Even the disciples of Momen like Han Qi, who were immersed in the art of making tools, were a little enthusiastic.
That is a tool that can create power just by boiling water. How can it not attract attention?
Is it really as His Majesty said?
Han Qi looked at the Emperor of the Han Dynasty with suspicion, and said somewhat unconvincingly: "Your Majesty, I have been practicing making weapons with the giants of Momen for more than twenty years since I was a child. I have never heard that just boiling water can produce something."
Motive power does not require human power or animal power such as oxen and horses, but you are boasting."
This person is the person Qin Huaidao must take advantage of. In terms of Qin Huaidao's own skills, he may not be impressed by Han Qi's personal skills, but behind him is the entire Mo Sect, a large number of skilled craftsmen!
The Han Dynasty was different from the former Tang Dynasty, let alone the previous Qinjiazhuang. He only needed to master some simple technologies to meet production needs. He wanted the Han Dynasty to turn into an industrial machine, allowing the entire dynasty to achieve a qualitative leap from farming civilization to the primary stage of industrialization.
To achieve this level requires the efforts of countless mature craftsmen. A mature craftsman can take at least three to five years to more than ten years to cultivate. If it is cultivated by a big man himself, the skills of the Ministry of Industry will be far inferior.
Momen, I don’t know how much time it will take.
As long as Han Qi can be persuaded, he will find a breakthrough for the big man to contact Momen.
As for proving yourself, that's easy.
After drawing the drawing, Qin Huaidao found some pieces of wood and cups, and cut some fabric into round strips with square holes at regular intervals, which looked like chains.
For him, who has been wielding swords and guns all year round, it is very simple to make a simple temporary steam structure using wood and cups.
After a while, the temporary steam structure was completed.
The moment Qin Huaidao lit the flame, Han Qi never looked away.
The flames burned fiercely, burning the water into steam. Because the cup was sealed by Qin Huaidao, all the steam surged out from the pipes he had designed in advance, driving the gear transmission. The rotation of the gears drove a chain made of cloth.
, driving the entire structure to operate, and the force is finally transferred to a small wheel, which continues to rotate, allowing the entire steam structure to move.
Li Chunfeng couldn't help but widen his eyes.
On the contrary, Chu Suiliang entered the court early and had already heard Fang Xuanling and other senators mention His Majesty's miraculous craftsmanship, one of which was the steam engine. I had only heard about it before, but now I am also shocked, but not as good as the two next to me.
.
"This, this actually moved," Han Qi thought of more besides being shocked.
Transportation has always been a big trouble since ancient times. Getting from one place to another often requires the assistance of horses and carriages. However, the distance is long and you can't go very far in rainy, thunderous, and snowy weather. If this thing is produced, it will not only be possible to walk in rainy weather.
, even when the moonlight is bright enough at night, you can move forward.
Thinking of this, he suddenly took a step forward.
If this thing is used on the battlefield, and the front is defended with wooden boards or even planks, as long as it is given sufficient power, it can sweep thousands of troops even if it encounters heavy cavalry. It is a well-deserved artifact of the country!
After going deep into this layer, Han Qi was extremely shocked.
It’s no wonder that His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was able to rise from a lonely position as a martial arts disciple in a short period of time. He became invincible and invincible in the chaos of the Tang Dynasty, and finally sat on the throne that was the most difficult to secure in the world.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask if it is true that I just said that this thing can travel thousands of miles in a day?" Han Qiwen asked Qin Huai.
Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "I was being humble just now. As long as we continue to study according to this method, we will not only travel thousands of miles a day, but what if we even travel thousands of miles one day?"
"So Han Qi, you have to remember that when I invite Momen to join the court, it's not that I need you, but that you need me, steel-making, briquettes, brick-burning, tea-frying, word-washing and printing, etc. You must have them too.
I heard that the tools I learned in the cave of the Pre-Qin Dynasty are far more than what I have now. With me in Momen, I can reach the sky in one day. If I don't follow, I will be replaced by the craftsmen who follow me sooner or later."
"So, not joining the imperial court is not a life-saving move for the Mo clan. On the contrary, if things go on like this, the Mo clan will surely fall behind or even perish. This is not an alarmist statement. Think about it carefully."
Hearing these words, Han Qi could not help but feel chills all over.
The reason why I say this is also the psychological tactics of Qin Huaidao. The various schools of thought in the pre-Qin period have always been arrogant and arrogant. Even the emperor did not take them seriously. They excelled in their skills and developed their power everywhere. Momen was one of them.
If they hadn't sent their Momen disciples to other places to provide new military weapons to support the defense and siege of the city, how would they have been pursued by Qin Shihuang?
Therefore, after using technology to subdue Han Qi, psychological suppression is indispensable. Only by making him realize that still hiding in one place is the only way to perish, will the other party be truly convinced.
As expected by Qin Huaidao, after thinking about it, the voice of this Mohist disciple had become hoarse: "Your Majesty, the common people are willing to share your Majesty's worries and the big man's worries."
Qin Huaidao looked at Han Qi coldly, and his whole body suddenly exuded imperial power: "You are wrong, you are not sharing my worries, and I don't need you to share my worries. What I need you to do is to help thousands of people in this world.
The common people produce tools, so that the common people no longer have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the utensils that only the rich and powerful can afford can fly into the homes of ordinary people."
"Do you understand?"
Feeling His Majesty's magnanimity and magnanimity, Han Qi took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Qin Huaidao: "Your Majesty scolded you so much, it's because I am biased."
Qin Huaidao then took back his imperial authority and said to him in a gentle tone: "You don't have to be under so much pressure. Improving the lives of all people is not something that can be done overnight. Just work hard. Before that, I have something else to do.
I'll leave it to you if I need it."
"Your Majesty has entrusted you to us, and the common people will surely live up to your high expectations."
"Okay." This is exactly the attitude Qin Huaidao needs: "I have a science and technology museum. It is when we need talents. The thing I entrust you with is to convince the Momen to let all the Momen disciples enter the science and technology museum to specialize in production.
Research on tools and contribute to the common people of Han Dynasty."
Han Qi replied: "The common people will not give up even if they die."
"Then please, if you have any news, please go to the Literature Museum to find Chu Suiliang first. He will pass on your news to me." The important matter was settled, and Qin Huaidao took Chu Suilang away happily.
He could have directly offered official positions to Li Chunfeng and Han Qi, but Li Chunfeng was unwilling to accept it and insisted on trying the new subjects of the imperial examination.
It is not too late to discuss merits and rewards in Momen's mission.
