George III frowned tightly, remembering Newton and Stephenson mentioned by the researcher just now, and asked: "Did the two people you mentioned help you?"
The researcher nodded.
George III had a bad premonition.
He knew Newton. Newton's talent was impressive and he always had a lot of ideas.
And after being confirmed by others, these ideas are all correct.
Not only that, Newton was also a member of Congress.
Although he had no power, George III was always deeply influenced by his belief in scientists. Not long ago, George helped him solve a difficult problem.
A problem that Newton was not good at was economics.
As for the reason, it was because the parliament blocked his other research time.
But this guy Newton actually wants to follow the Longyan people and go to Longyan!
This made George III unbearable.
How could such important scientific talents be lost?
Therefore, at George's behest, an order of house arrest was issued.
As for the other person, he has absolutely no idea...
It was as if he had never heard of this name.
"Stephenson..." George III murmured.
He looked at the researcher and asked, "Who is this person from?"
The researcher answered truthfully: "A mechanical engineer full of strange ideas has a very deep understanding of steam engines. The steam engines he improved have better performance."
"Such a little person, Your Majesty, it's normal that you don't know him. After all, he doesn't have much fame."
I see.
George III nodded. He had some interest in Stephenson. Britain is now lacking talents.
Since the advent of the steam engine, he has been very curious about these strange ideas.
After all, before the advent of the steam engine, no one looked down upon this invention.
They all think that steam engines are of little use and use boiling water and hot air to move. This sounds like a fantasy.
But the results were too surprising.
It was the invention of the steam engine that changed the entire world.
The rise of textile machines greatly increased the economic benefits of crops such as cotton.
But until then, people may not have expected this.
George III is now very concerned about such ideas. Maybe there will be an invention behind these ideas that can change the world.
The researcher looked at George III and hesitated for a long time without speaking.
Seeing this, George III said: "But it doesn't matter."
The researcher then said: "He wanted the steam engine to walk on the ground, just like a carriage."
Hearing this idea, George III immediately laughed.
Letting a steam engine walk on the ground is simply a fantasy.
If a steam engine could operate on the road, its size would have to be at least as large as a ship.
This is equivalent to sailing the ship onto land.
This is absolutely impossible. As we all know, it is impossible for a ship to walk on land, and even if it can walk, how can it be possible to hit the road with such a size?
George III smiled and shook his head, discarding his previous thoughts because he thought too much.
