Chapter 1500 The Roar of the Steel Behemoth
Seeing such a miraculous scene, the workers became restless, looking at the steam drainage machine that made a lot of noise with bright eyes, and suddenly felt that this thing was really interesting.

No manpower, no animal power, no pulleys, just burning coal, humming and exhaling outside, and as a result, the stagnant water inside was really pumped out by the big ones.

According to the judgment of the most experienced veteran workers, the pumping efficiency of this machine is more than ten times higher than that of their full-open pulley block.

Good guy, if this is all installed on the construction site, how many times will the production efficiency of the construction site be improved?
The guys are very happy.

Different from the curiosity of the workers, the technicians watched the smooth operation of the steam pump, and they were beyond excited. They all hugged and shouted and jumped around.

Some even cried out, kept wiping tears and blowing their noses.

For them, today's success is really waiting too long.

Su Yonglin poured money on them regardless of the cost, and they squandered the funds regardless of the cost. They have not succeeded for several years. Other departments of the Ministry of Works mocked them as two-legged beasts who can only get in and can't get in. This depressed them. All in mind.

And now, they have finally cleared the clouds and seen the sun, and waited for the day of success.

They brought not only one steam engine, but a dozen of them.

After the first test was successful, they let go of their hands and feet, and directly used three steam pumps for this mine. They pumped water at full power. Can get off.

The miners who went down looked around and were amazed. After going up, they gave the steam pump and these technicians a thumbs up and praised them vigorously.

Zhu Xun, the manager of the Datong Coal Mine, was even more excited. While inviting the technicians to rest and eat, he discussed with them to see if he could keep all the machines to help them work.

"In the past, we were really tired of draining water. A good mine was flooded overnight. We tried our best to save only half of it, but we couldn't save more than half of it. What a waste of mines and coal.

Before using this pulley block, I didn't even know whether our workers were coal miners or drainage workers. Several production teams directly specialized in drainage work. Now it's good. With this, our biggest problem can be solved! "

Zhou Xun, the head of the steam engine technical team, smiled and nodded.

"If you don't use this for you, what are we going to do with it? This is a good thing that the chairman spent 10,000+ pennies on us to make, and it finally succeeded. I'm happier than you! Finally, I can't live up to the trust of the chairman! "

"10,000+ money? Is this thing so expensive?!"

Zhu Xun was terrified: "Then...then I don't dare to use it. You'd better take it back. I can't afford to pay for an accident. This coal mine doesn't have that much budget."

Zhou Xun was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"It's not that easy to break. Most of the small parts inside need to be replaced. Don't worry, we will leave some technicians here to follow up to see what the specific situation is and how long it can be used without problems. It's not just any damage. It's our business."

Only then did Zhu Xun feel relieved.

"That's good, I really don't dare to think about something that costs 10,000+ money... Is it a bit..."

"waste?"

Zhou Xun knew what Zhu Xun was going to say, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, many things are not like that, it takes a lot of investment to create from scratch, but since it's already out, and it's proven to be really useful, what's next? Much simpler.

Wait, steam engines can be a big deal. Sooner or later, I will make your mines full of steam engines, which can save workers a lot of time and energy, put them all into production, and at least increase your output tenfold. ! "

"ten times?"

Zhu Xun counted with his fingers: "Now the monthly output is about... ten times that is... that much? Comrade Zhou Xun, don't dare to talk nonsense! Ten times, that means we can do it in a month. The previous year's production?"

Zhou Xun smiled confidently.

"Without this efficiency, the more than [-] dollars invested by the chairman will be wasted! If the chairman can swallow this breath, I can't swallow it! It's not so bad to waste money! Wait, steam locomotive, steam engine ship, sooner or later. It can be used!"

Zhu Xun didn't quite understand what a steam locomotive and a steam engine ship were, but he felt that Zhou Xun was a very confident person, and his eyes were bright when he spoke, so he was willing to believe that this young man would definitely bring some brand new changes to Daming.

The news that the steam pump arrived at the Datong Coal Mine and worked smoothly was quickly sent back to Zhongdu.

The technicians who heard the news of the success rejoiced, and Su Yonglin, who was even happier, arrived at the technical department in person and invited them to a feast at his own expense.

He knew that from this moment, history should speed up a little, and the long and cold night of the agricultural era should start to dawn from this moment, ushering in the first light of dawn.

The water pump is only the first step, and it is the first step for an existence like the steam engine to become fully functional.

Subsequently, Su Yonglin wanted to promote the transformation of the steam engine from a water pump to a power engine, and this required not only a piston-type steam engine, but also the rotating gears on the stage of history.

The big machine age is about to come, and the roar of the steel behemoth faintly sounded in Su Yonglin's ears.

Su Yonglin raised a glass to these skilled workers at the celebration banquet, expressed his sincere respect to them, and said that he was looking forward to the day when the steam locomotive was successfully operated.

Daming needs railways, trains, and steam ships, and these brand-new means of transportation are needed to bring revolutionary production changes to Daming, in order to adapt to Daming's constantly advancing thought.

Therefore, Su Yonglin continued to inject capital into the Ministry of Industry, so that they had sufficient funds to order all they needed, so as to facilitate them to complete the historic power change.

That night, Su Yonglin drank a lot of wine, he was very happy, and returned to the palace to rest until later after gathering with the skilled workers.

Zhao Xirui hadn't seen Su Yonglin who was drunk for a long time. She helplessly undressed him, wiped his face and body, then covered him with the quilt and watched him fall asleep.

However, early the next morning, Su Yonglin had a fever, which was still high.

Zhao Xirui hurriedly called the imperial doctor in the palace.

After the imperial doctor arrived in a hurry, he gave a diagnosis and treatment, and judged that Su Yonglin was a cold evil, so that the high fever persisted. Although it was not a big deal, it needed to be carefully nursed back to health, rested well, and could not blow cold air.

"Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs for a long time, diligent in government affairs and loves the people, and rarely rests. Although His Majesty's physique is strong, he can't help but work on documents for many years, and His Majesty is getting older. It's a very important thing."

The white-bearded imperial doctor prescribed a prescription to Su Yonglin and entrusted Zhao Xirui.

"Previously, the old minister asked for His Majesty's peace of mind many times, and warned His Majesty more than once to pay more attention to rest. His Majesty is 33 years old, not 23 years old anymore, but His Majesty is still handling government affairs with the vigor of 23 years old. If things go on like this, it is not a good thing.

In the past few years, His Majesty has occasionally suffered from minor illnesses, but overall he is still in good health, but this time the high fever is not as good as before. The old minister clearly feels that His Majesty's body is not as good as before. I also ask the Queen to warn His Majesty more and let His Majesty pay more attention to himself. body of. "

After Zhao Xirui heard this, she looked at Su Yonglin, who was still not awake in bed, with pity and worry on her face.
