Mocheng was also dragged out by Newton. Essentially, Mocheng and Newton were in the same situation, but Mocheng's situation was slightly better.
But it also requires someone to drag it out before you can eat.
Mo Cheng was shielded by Newton and made it to the dining table.
Newton introduced everyone to Stephenson, and everyone introduced themselves to Stephenson.
Stephen Sun was surprised by Mo Cheng's identity. He was actually a scientist from Long Yan. You must know that the giant steam engine was imported from Long Yan.
Stephenson's favorable impression of Mocheng has reached a new level.
He has been exposed to steam engines used to pump water in coal mines since he was a child, and he has a natural hobby for steam engines.
When he thought that Long Yan could develop a powerful steam engine like a giant steam engine, Stephenson was filled with respect for the people of Long Yan.
Especially after learning that Mocheng had also participated in the research on giant steam engines.
"Oh, then why doesn't the British royal family allow Mr. Mocheng to participate in the research of the Dreadnought-class battleship? With his participation, our progress should be much faster." Stephenson said simply.
Newton was told the reason, so he remained silent.
Mo Cheng and Hu Xier looked at Stephenson and fell into silence.
Looking at the silent crowd, Stephenson did not realize what a stupid question he had asked, but continued: "What, did I say something wrong?"
After a long time, Hu Xier said calmly: "Mr. Stephenson, just because we are Longyan people, we absolutely cannot participate in the research work on the Dreadnought-class battleship."
"Knowledge still has national boundaries."
Stephenson finally realized what this sentence meant. He nodded: "I understand, I'm sorry."
Hu Xier did not continue to speak.
The scene fell into an awkward atmosphere for a time.
Newton reluctantly broke the deadlock and said with a smile: "I invited Mr. Stephenson here today because he has an idea and wants to discuss it with Mocheng."
"Don't worry, it's about academics."
Hearing this, Mo Cheng became energetic and asked: "Is there anything Mr. Stephenson wants to communicate with me?"
Facing Mo Cheng's inquiry, Stephenson showed an embarrassed smile.
He comes from a relatively humble background, and he was able to participate in the research on the Dreadnought-class battleship simply because he knew too much about steam engines.
That's why George III allowed him to join the research team.
"Well, I have an idea. Just think about it. Steam engines can provide power for ships. They can provide power for ships weighing several tons and make them travel quickly. So why can't steam engines provide power for carriages?"
"If steam engines could power horse-drawn carriages, we would have land-based ships that could transport more goods on land."
"Will this provide greater possibilities for our current transportation industry?" Stephenson said excitedly.
After hearing this idea, both Newton and Mo Cheng fell into silence.
They had never thought of Stephenson's proposal.
But I feel that this future will definitely come true!
Stephenson is right, similar machines should be born in the future.
A machine like this.
"Your proposal is very good, I think it is very challenging, but now it is a bit unrealistic and I don't think it can be realized." Newton gave his own opinion.
